Given how "western occult science" is just magical thinking and pseudo babble, it hardly fits on HN. Additionally, "western occult science" typically glosses over its 1920-1940s roots and branches. Wondering why...

I do recall Trump not wanting to let go of that power, in it? It wasn't out of his own magnanimity that he stepped down. Checks and balances still worked, appallingly sure, but they still worked. Not anymore.

This goes far beyond "nuclear proliferation." It's about medical, pathogen research. The Wuhan lab for coronavirus was also backed by the US to study such viruses. Proliferation is also about vaccination and HIV prevention, e

The main issue with this approach is that it doesn't help people who struggle financially or come from disfavorable backgrounds -- whom federal student loans aimed to help. Some sets of circumstances don't favor score maximization

This is a retelling of a discussion between Peter Watts and a friend about climate change. Peter Watts is better known for writing Blindsight, which I consider the best sci-fi novel of the past 20 years. I highly recommend it.

The weather in the US can be wild compared to what Western Europe is used to. England doesn't have to deal with the same events.

That's a dumb argument. It's not like Qatari money is trying to buy the mathematical inverse of Israeli money in a game of tit-for-tat.

Though I personally agree with the core idea of this site, I'm always wary of political websites, mailing lists, projects, etc. that do not explicitly state who's working on them. People or orgs alike. Sure, it might be related to

For those scratching their heads, this is the personal page (blog? fan-mail publication? It's hard to put a pin on it) of Kelley L. Ross, PhD, a Chicago School libertarian who's miffed at the left.

The is a breadth of literature on the topic. I recommend the excellent survey by Baoyuan wu on the topic (mathematical perspective) [1]. For IRL demonstrations, existing cases will of course be rarer, bu they are not impossible as with atta

The law is not code. Equating hope with the intention of the law is a poor way to think about it. The law is to protect users against opaque companies and to enable them making informed choices. If companies act maliciously to contort aro

The blog clearly works from the actual outcome lense. It's repeated. Several times. The companies could just not track . The actual outcome is that they do want to track, and use adversarial patterns and malicious compliance to twist

Given the limited framerate of the device, I wonder whether running videos comes with latency that makes listening to them impossible. It's expected that E-ink would demolish video quality, but does it has an incidence on sound if you

Oh, no, they are gaining in popularity. France has had an explosion of American trucks since 2-3 years.

They are dedicated high-risk investment vehicles. Think of them as research centers in search of grants. People investing in them accept a short/medium/long term loss, betting that it will turn a large profit if it works (i.e. if

Unfortunate but unsurprising, given all the discussions and suspicions that the [recent] power struggle at OpenAI was about conflict of interests. This deal goes back to 2019, so it can only throw more oil on the fire about what's been

I don't have the ability to downvote yet but I can pitch in an explanation: Setting China as an outlier that does reshoring/industrial planning at the expense of the [American] worker is a politic fantasy. It forgets that reshorin

Since it's on topic, I'd like to share a small youtuber who does science communication. She covered Loeb and the topics of crackpots in science [1]. Her other video on string theory and how it damaged science communication is real

You're right to ask. Some of the methods like Eigenfaces are antiquated when compared to today, existing , stand-alone methods. Sadly, the context of the listed papers and implementations is lacking. It's not because it's o

I really like Blindsight for how some of the questions it sets may apply to how we might face artificial general intelligence.
