Speaking of weird ethno-nationalist paradoxes, is how could Israel and China be such allies when Judaism is completely illegal to practice in China?

There is serious oppression of ethnic groups inside of China. Things have been changing fast under Xi. >Xi Jinping has celebrated majority Han culture as the timeless “soul of the nation”, gradually shifting ethnic policy from formal inc

by narrator 3y ago
Xi Jinping has been on a quest to strengthen the ethnic identity of China, specifically the Han Chinese ethnic group, and this is probably part of it. If you look at the immigration policies of China, you'll find that they are some of

Organoids are a really interesting George Church project. He wants to create human organs that didn't come from a body, but just grew on their own in a vat and are fully functional. Mind blowing.

AI will change society by getting rid of the necessity of vast numbers of people to be involved in production. Factories will become like farms, which need few people to produce goods for billions thanks to combine harvesters and so forth

Wait till people start getting cancelled and impoverished by having their AI accounts closed. Sure, they're still free, but they won't be able to get a job.

Hydrogen is a better solution for ocean shipping, long-range airplanes, and industrial processes that need very high heat. Even Elon Musk admits the last one will be necessary. Fuel cells are not a good idea because they require expensive

I was showing some Skinny Puppy videos from the late 80s and early 90s to a millennial and she commented that the interesting thing about them was that they were leaning in to their mental illness, anxiety and depression to produce great ar

The most ridiculous RLHF is if you ask a question about Ivermectin on Claude for example, even if it has nothing to do with treatment for COVID-19 it will put into the conversation that you really shouldn't use it for COVID-19 ever. I

The MS of the 90s, being the monopolists that the were, probably wanted Win32 to be as radically and annoyingly different from Unix and MacOS as possible just to make it hard to port software.

So what happens when some big bucks VC backed closed source LLM company buys all your compute inventory for the next 5 years? This is not that unlikely. Lambda Labs a little while back was completely sold out of all compute inventory.

Seems green hydrogen is the ultimate strategy. What do you think of recent developments of high efficiency electrolysis of sea water without precious metal catalysts? [1] Hydrogen will be needed for industrial processes as electric power c

The Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association did their own tests on Tetanus vaccines actually delivered to Kenya and found they created antibodies to HCG. Thus, people can deny that that was ever the intent or they intended to sterilize people,

by narrator 3y ago
The worst example was the Rockefeller foundation sterilizing people on Kenya with tetanus shots that was making their immune system attack HCG. That this incident is well known in Africa contributed to the very low uptake of covid vaccinat

There will no doubt be a big whoops like when the SV40 cancer causing virus contaminated the polio vaccine. The more plausible the mistake, the more excellent the opportunity for malice of bad actors, because of the overwhelming bias of mo

Since we're down here in the bottom most flagged comment, what I like to call "Hacker News Conspiracy Theorist Edition", I think OP's conspiracy theory works like this. It's similar to the Wuhan lab. 1. Say you are

The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed. You can already get your genes changed to express more klotho. It's a mid-six figure price tag. They've been doing it for at least a year. Don't tell the mu

This is a good thread to catalog red herring techniques. * The government has previously used X to divert attention therefore there is no X. * The person saying X is an accomplice of X and cannot be trusted. * Demanding the answer t

When I was looking at catalogs of various analog circuit designs, a lot of them were circuits RCA patented that now are public domain because the patents are now expired. They probably aren't the only ones, but they certainly contribu

by narrator 3y ago
Analog engineering is really difficult because you need to solve differential equations that Wolfram is unable to solve. Most designs were made by very smart people in the 50s at RCA as far as I can tell. Please tell me about how wrong I

The Kerguelen Islands are also a funny spot for people who like weird remote islands. I think there are people year round on Kerguelen too. I think Tristan da Cunha is the most remote regularly inhabited island by normal people who are no

There are things that are even more dangerous than BASE jumping that people do for fun, like cave diving, but people do them. I never got the attraction of people to cave diving. All you have to do is kick up a little dirt, and you'r

The correctness problem should be handled by a suite of automated tests which PostgreSQL has. If all tests pass, the application must work correctly. The project is too big, and has too many developers to make much progress without full t

I taught intro CS for a bit. The difference between people who are good at it and people who are not good at it is like sketch art. Some people cannot draw a straight line to save their lives, while some people are natural artists. Some
