The anniversary of Petrov's heroism is coming up. 9pm UTC on the 26th ("shortly after midnight" in Moscow). I'm going to pour out a shot of vodka in his honor.

No True Scotsman really only applies to factual statements. All normative statements suffer from a No True Scotsman fallacy. But it doesn't really matter because they aren't literally true to begin with, they're lodestars or

Yes, I'm referring to Hindenburg Research, apologies. They were the ones who initially exposed Milton and called it quits earlier this year, presumably because they foresaw a regulatory environment where fraud was no longer reliably pr

The claim at issue isn't, "I find the term WEIRD insulting." As you say, everyone is entitled to feel that way. It's "the term WEIRD is intended by the authors of TFA as an insult and reveals their agenda as being &

Maybe what you have that Milton lacks is integrity.

Hindenburg was wise to pack up shop ahead of this administration. This is a greenlight for fraud.

No, I never said that. To be perfectly clear: if you want to argue that a text says X, you need to provide evidence from the text. Everything I see you commenting in this thread appears to be based your preconceptions around this acronym, n

Keep in mind that I am also WEIRD. Please help me to understand by referring to the specific part of the article where WEIRD was used in the pejorative.

Very cool. I think if you squint this is sort of like a 4D moire. You have a repeating 3D structure which you're looking at through a "grid" in time, causing aliasing.

WEIRD is not pejorative in TFA. There's no problem being WEIRD. I am WEIRD. What's alleged in TFA is that AI, as it's currently deployed, is implicitly chauvinistic towards perspectives other than WEIRD. This sort of thing ha

Specifically what you want is to provably halt and to be free of side effects. There's some configuration languages with these properties for providing expressions in JSON configs (I'm blanking on their names for the moment) which

It's not doublethink any time there's a misnomer. It doesn't require an active effort of cognitive dissonance. It's not a manipulation or a conspiracy. You don't have to get the severance operation to use an FaaS of

Hmm? Semantically they are equivalent ("this is the same statement"), bytewise they are not identical ("not completely the same"). Both parent comments are true statements. Things can be in the same equivalence class wit

Everyone should give that some thought but look at Texas. In 2021 they were devastated by a snowstorm. This year they were devastated by flooding. Not to pick on Texas, they aren't the only ones caught under prepared for severe weather

Presumably out of concerns for liability/security. Presumably they will roll it out at some point, with the ability to lock it down at an organization level rather than (just) the account level. But they might not feel confident they u

Then I'm confused why you would express surprise at receiving pushback if your intention was to enter a contentious debate? But you do you.

Presumably the planet became much less geologically active, causing Mars to lose it's magnetic field and thus it's atmosphere, and that caused a mass extinction. If there was life on the surface in the past, I imagine it still exi

Individual bacteria are also generally not visible in optical microscopes without staining. If there was life on the surface of mars, you probably wouldn't need a microscope to see it. Just like you don't need a microscope to obse

People generally downvote large blocks of generated text. Perhaps it wasn't your intention to argue for a particular position, but given the context, it's the natural inference. So some downvotes may be because they disagree with

To be clear "notice" wasn't really directed at you specifically, more commenters in general. I'm sorry for wording that confusingly, originally I'd replied to GP with a similar comment to yours but your comment was

Notice that everything on GP's list is fraud (except Gohn of Nissan who was accused of embezzlement and failure to report income). It's very difficult for an executive to go to prison any other way.

I'll confess I've never used `expect`, but I think `expect` is for interactive commands. I think if you were going to write retry logic in bash you would pipe it to `grep` and examine the return code. If `grep` doesn't find a
