This is very old news. The encyclopaedia Britannica article on the subject says a good propagandist knows the mainstream news are untrusted, and will target their audience through receptive channels, like influencing family or social groups

This is probably part of the BDSM role-play among certain executives.

I agree, there's a very weird media focus on layoffs right now, without broader context (number of hires, number of companies, number of unemployed, number of people in the workforce etc).

Haha, are you suggesting all products eventually break and we resort to solving problems with small hand-crafted turing machines made of sticks?

I agree with you about the formatting it's pretty bad.

What a Fiasco. Does this make Elon a whistleblower? It was because of his purchase we see these right? Also https://theintercept.com/2022/12/20/twitter-dod-us-military-...

I hope we see some strong posturing from EU leaders. It seems like Europe is trying at least to fight in the right direction on this, while the anglosphere slowly becomes another version of China.

If they had several hundred pounds of old clothes they can build a gigantic pillow fort and huddle together in the middle with a candle. This would be better than burning the clothes, as I assume they have enough food.

This article has a lot of unfounded metaphors and assertions. While procrastination is bad, and excessively logging is also bad, global systems are incredibly powerful - just look at physics.

You can still use them for insulation.. I doubt polyester or cotton would burn very long.

I mean would you say that a "jerk" or "asshole" is also a lifesaving word?

I agree. Narcissism is a just a term in pop-psychology for someone who is doing something we don't like. This article is damaging because it provides people justification to use an overly-simplistic generalised theory to instead of do

Seems very doable given the state of google translate. Trouble is if you are a revolutionary leader of some kind you are probably going to be saying new things that no-one else talks about - which renders both anonspeak and the ai detection

You are generalising too much from one online community that has significantly different incentives because it is competitive and ranked and probably full of elitism. Have you been to any language meetups? I have. It's easy to find peo

You should work on your ability to act/speak in spite of the fear of making mistakes more than your skill. It is a fundamentally important property of society. We should not be afraid to even speak. Everyone has a different reality, mi

This is interesting, but it's a tech solution that decreases person-to-person contact which is bad because isolation breeds hatred and anxiety. Just go talk to someone, there are so many people who want to do language exchanges. The pr

Yes, but it depends "what suits you". It can be arbitrarily difficult and there are similarities that go along the lines of fundamentally challenging CS problems, which is why everyone and their plushy-toy seem to be obsessing ove

Actually I think that creating a "perfect" note taking system reduces to finding an ideal compression algorithm for human knowledge, which Hutter showed is equivalent to solving general AI. So you're wrong, note taking is at
