Oh wow - over on Reddit, someone mentioned that the Deltahedra YouTuber has started using his own voice, rather than a generated one - and - well, his content is now far more watchable than it was previously!

The polite term these days is "sociopath", which takes out the whole "psycho-killer" weightedness (because a sociopath can be very likeable and friendly) - and they fill the ranks of leadership in all professions...

by jjkaczor 8mo ago
Haven't there also been many studies that show high-level executives also have a high number of "sociopaths" in their ranks? Sociopaths can code-switch instantly - I wonder how much of this is training, versus emulating other

Uh - there are entire political lobbyist organizations that use something similar to an "autopen" to make mass letters personalized and appear to be handwritten... Heck - I have seen some in the mail from the "sell your house

Exactly this - yesterday I was in line at the grocery store and the cashier and customer ahead of me were complaining about our long, frigid winter (not normal for this region) - I joked about how if the long-range forecasts were correct we

Oh thank-you for the reminder to check Amit's site again! (been following since the BBS and SolarRealms days...)

So are all the RAM, GPU and HD manufacturers going to honour their purchasing commitments?

Exactly this - I had a role in a multinational, US-founded company, however - I was based in Canada - our title had the name "engineer" contained within it. We were NOT by any means certified professional engineers according to a

Why do you want those brands to exist? Some perspectives would say that they serve no real purpose other than performative wealth display and distribution. They appeal to everyone at fundamental psychological levels to "fit in" w
