I believe that the feeds are far more manipulated than this. Facebook got caught once intentionally manipulating feeds to attempt to produce negative mental states. Do you honestly think they just completely stopped? I think it's pl

I'll believe claims of this sort when production feed generation algorithms are released under an open license.

If feed-generating algorithms were dispassionate - amplifying liked content rather than massaging feeds for advertising and other behavior manipulation - then your assessment of the results as "brain viruses" might be more accurat

I have to believe, based not only on this case but on extensive reporting from folks like Radley Balko, that manipulation or outright omission of exculpatory evidence is much more common than is generally believed. Even here, in this incred

Is there evidence of a massive uptick in pediatric deaths? So much so that we'd believe that, even as transmission patterns increasingly resemble endemic equilibrium, the results of this report (which, to my knowledge, is still, sadly

Others have pointed out the flaws in this study. I want to add: at first blush, the basic premise seems plausible on its face. I bet I'd be able to pick out many long-time regular cannabis consumers (of whom I'm one) based on au

Is the idea here that these 3D models can be used by educators to build their own visual aids, which will have proper colors and shading, etc? Because, as it stands, I'm not sure the benefit of having a bunch of purple penises. They c

Right. The headline is about hospital census; the article does not support that point, and instead is about a different (and much less important, from a public health perspective) metric - admissions which are coincident with a positive te

I don't understand. It sounds like we agree. The quote you've pulled confirms what I'm saying. Hospital census is not what's at an all-time (or 2-year) high. SARS-CoV-2+ tests among admitted patients ("Covid-19 h
