I imagine OP says its a tendency in the West as to avoid generalizations outside their personal experience, not because it's necessarily not the case outside the West. Anecdotally, I think there's at least some distinction between

Anyone else find it funny to see toki pona under "hard problems". It's certainly a tough language to translate because it's interpretative and vague, but there's a certain irony in a language that's intended to

This sort of mirrors the early history of public vaccination initiatives in the United States for smallpox [1]. Generally, poor and racial minorities were targeted back then, so you even had activists who were anti-vaccinations for anti-rac

I was thinking the same thing about this working better as a blog post. It's so frustrating for each sentence to be it's own line and to be interrupted every moment. The content itself is excellent, but I really wish there was a b

While I completely disagree with your characterization of chess as a "solved" game, whether it's solved or not also doesn't really matter. Aimbots can crush CSGO pros, and OpenAI beat TI winners OG in 2019, but at the en

I think this comment underrates not only Caruana's strength but also Carlsen's ability to navigate the incredibly difficult positions Caruana placed him in. Sure, no game from 2018 can compare against game 6 from this year, but ga

That's a good point. lmao what a weird hauntology. the past generation bought the toy for their children because of its resemblance to everyday items in their lives, and the next generation buys a facsimile for their children for its r

I'm not defending any of these social media corporations, but the worst people are on every platform and tiktok is not exception. Tiktok also can appeal to the lowest common denominator, it also has rage, hate, conspiracy theories. I t
