The political compass (which is not scientific in any manner and is basically trash for understanding things) splits into two dimensions. Liberal-Authoritarian and Left-Right. "Auth-right" refers to somebody in the Authoritarian&#

The political compass test is not meaningful. The particular breakdown it uses is not some sort of consensus amongst political scientists nor are the questions and methods it uses to place people developed in some rigorous manner. Like you

AI has made it 10x worse. My wife is a professor. Tons of students cheat. Often badly. It is a complete phase shift from pre-chatgpt. Detection methods keep having to adapt. Usually she catches people because a writing assignment will say s

Cows are covered in their own shit, including their udders. "I drank raw milk and didn't get sick" is not actually the same as "drinking raw milk is safe."

Even if you accept the lab leak (highly questionable) and buy into the conspiracy that Fauci was controlling the operation of GoF research that created covid this is wrong. Lockdowns were managed by local authorities and state leadership.

That is not the reason. The reason is that they wanted the model to have access to libraries when it was writing code to solve the eval problems. So they gave it a package manager.

I don't know if advertising a diet of primarily beef and sauerkraut is walking the walk. His opinion of what "healthy food" is is based in vibes and conspiracy rather than scientific rigor.

LLMs are very good at programming. This is clear. Software engineering will look very different in 2030 than it did in 2020. There are also opportunities now for people to use code to solve problems that weren't previously economical b

"Eat healthy food and exercise" has been recommendation #1 for ages. The idea that RFK and his friends are somehow novel in this public communication is bizarre.

A 60 year old was born in 1966 and started their career in the mid 80s. That's displaced pretty far from ww2.

Fage and parsley are up substantially since 2020. The rest has been pretty stable, at least near me.

Where? At least where I live if I went to Kroger I’d spend $6 on bread, two tubs of Fage would be $14, eggs are like $3, the parsley would be like $1.50 and the rest of the veggies comes out to about $5.

Programs that expand recruiting beyond the typical prestigious university track can accomplish this.

A great thing about literature is that it can be expressed in different contexts. A piece of art being about one thing at one time does not mean that we cannot use that art to explore a different thing at a different time.

I do not believe that AI weapons will reduce civilian casualties. Maybe per strike it will but we also know that when we give people new capabilities they will use them more. Suddenly instead of taking time to select targets you can ask a

That is not true. Disparate impact has never meant "literally anything that produces disparate impact is against the law." I guess until the Trump admin has started using it to mean this when it affects white people.

Gerrymandering means that the house is a skewed representation of the people. The senate is a skewed representation of the people in its intentional structure. Further, the Trump administration is happily destroying things that are funded

If that is the test then it is plainly obvious from the data that humanities majors earn more than workers who never went to college. Where are you getting this idea that this isn't happening? In my state the text of the constitution i

I don't understand what you mean by "do not produce economic benefits" then. So you say STEM majors do this and that humanities majors do not. But I truly do not understand. I really do not think that your understanding of a

What does it mean to undermine it? Is your position that no matter what the rigorous application of some research method produces that you should always come to a predetermined conclusion that some particular form of western liberalism fro
