I see you’re interested in epistemology yourself. You should study it.

It’s hard to believe that so recently, “serious” people would fund research of literal mumbo jumbo. By all means, the 90s was a different time epistemologically. We aren’t immune to this today, far from it, though the hoaxes have become way

He has a throwaway account just for this occasion. Probably not acting in good faith.

And the money required to change the voter’s minds is peanuts. You don’t need to make them happy, just scared of the opposition.

Of the housing market? That seems to be what GP said, doesn’t it?

Ah, you’re determined to believe that everyone is playing by the same rules. Carry on. You need that to live. Unfortunately that very belief is perpetuating the issue you’re complaining about, but your worldview may very well hinge on you n

I agree with you, except the "fair and square" part. Can we please stop pretending there's any fairness to any of it? That the reward is proportional to merit, effort, strength of character, utility, or any respectable and de

It feels like abuse. They shouldn't be able to get away with such trickery.

Sci-fi will never materialize. But the ones passionate about it are so desperate for the faux future that they won't be able to tell when they're being duped. Just wait until the next great collapse, a disaster big enough to force

We musn't be unkind to the boomers. When we're their age, the methods for assaulting our poor old brains will be ever so more sophisticated.

There’s a Web tab which you can click to show only the web results, none of the AI, videos, other people, etc. I presume you want that to be the default, but I’m sure you understand that Google can’t grant your wish, because it’s subject to

I mean we have evidence for that.

But they precede the knowledge cutoff.

It’s funny because I have no concept of why this kind of infrastructure is needed and by whom. Replicating this success would be impossible for me because I wouldn’t understand that there are people out there with this need, and how to find

Go pay for the book then! But founders aren’t a big enough target demographic to make money on I guess.

It didn’t catch me in the widely cast net. I didn’t match the 1) nice place, 2) family and friends. Apparently an ad huh.

Everyone truly evil believes that they are the good one and God wouldn’t punish them.

Can anyone tell me the leading theory explaining the acquisition? I can’t see how buying a runtime for the sake of Claude Code makes sense.

I think you’ve said the quiet part out loud by mentioning learning Rust. The learning seems to be the only legitimate issue that people have. But they avoid mentioning it because it sounds intellectually lazy.

Still the answer would have been “no”. If you want to keep both narrative and truthfulness, you should ask “doesn’t Germany have laws criminalizing insults, and someone had to pay a fine after insulting a politician”. Still not very authori

“Country X should change it’s laws because Y” is a belief you can have even if Y is not shared by enough people in Germany to make that change. Claiming that Germany recently introduced a law prohibiting criticism of politicians is an admis

I think you're holding the German law to a much higher standard than many hold their legal systems. On the other side of the pond cases are routinely decided by who can afford the right lawyer or litigation costs. So yeah, it's ve

In my experience, juniors were more capable at solving engineering problems than some staff engineers, but that’s just an artifact of a broken ladder system.

Parallel realities. Over here it seems like the US is a dystopia, with how hostile their leadership is to democratic institutions and how greatly it empowers oligarchs. They think that European countries (or commonly just "Europe"

An authoritarian state might have more legitimacy in applying the restrictions than a for profit company. Think about it. But really, people should communicate with each other by means not including algorithmic feeds optimized for engagemen

I’m sorry for you and by all means, keep social media where you live. Maybe the next Arab spring will work out better than the first one and TikTok will enable that. Where I live, we’re already free from repression and social media threaten

by kubb 10mo ago
Yeah but with social media they can also undermine them outside of their state.

When did social media enable dissidents to do anything?

by kubb 10mo ago
Authoritarians use social networks to undermine democratic principles so not exposing kids to that takes power away from them. Or did I misunderstand something?

I agree, seems off topic but let’s be kind.
