I could not disagree more. To me this is a type of "slippery slope fallacy fallacy", a fallacy, where you call every "slippery slope" type of argument a fallacy. Just because we have been mistaken in the past doesn'

For some reason I found this line particularly funny and poignant: "But did you know that you can eat whole grains and still get hit by a truck?"

This is a fantastic article. I had my first panic attack in a church when I was 14. I was there praying with my family when I suddenly got this weird, almost unreal feeling of "super-reality". It wasn't that everything felt u

You are not the only one, and I hate that people downvote your comment without actually engaging with it. You are absolutely correct that those words have undergone an inflation of meaning and no longer mean much.

As I said, there is nothing wrong about using chatgpt, and I use it all the time (also not a native english speaker). Just found it funny, that even with text is often very easy to tell.

Reading this reminded me of the feeling I had when I first understood what it means for spacetime to be four-dimensional and how an object that appears stationary is actually moving at the speed of light, but in the direction of time. So, i

No need to cry, I didn't lie. If you can find an entry in a dictionary—yes, even one from 1893—then I was correct. However, it doesn't matter much because some contemporary dictionaries include a definition of "castrated&quot

I cringe when people become overly fixated on specific phrasing, I suppose everyone has their preferences. Regardless, castration does not involve removing the penis but rather is the removal of the male gonads (testicles). Furthermore, if

Given that Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT are all relatively similar in sophistication, my primary criterion for selecting one is based on its responsiveness to my requests versus its tendency to educate me on the "potential harm" of

Of course, YouTube is well-known for its methodical approach to video removal, strictly adhering to transparent guidelines, rather than deciding based on the "computer says no" principle.

This is 100% what PG means IMO and the most sane take on this. Either write the law correctly so it's not easily bypassed or just don't touch anything because you will only make it worse.

How many "normies" do you know that stopped visiting websites that track them? I don't know anybody who isn't in my tech bubble who cares, and very few normies who would rather pay money than to give access to their data

2 more buttons x the number of websites you visit a day x the number of time the website forgets your choice? Yes, they are quite annoying.

It also shows that most people don't care and just want to get on with their day. We know that companies are collecting more data. Now what?

Putting up a wall in the middle of a busy street and then getting upset when people find ways around it doesn't make sense. The solution is either to remove the wall or ensure it cannot be bypassed. Right now, it's just irritating

Critics of estimation often use a sneaky trick called the motte and bailey fallacy. They mix up two different ideas: one that's pretty reasonable and easy to defend, like "we can't know _exactly_ what's going to happen i

I'm not a die-hard GTD or David Allen fan, but I think he got some things right. My favorite quote of his goes like this: "Things rarely get stuck because of lack of time. They get stuck because the doing of them has not been defi

For better or worse Gantt charts turned into the poster child for old-school waterfall development and pretty much got kicked to the curb when Scrum showed up.

I think it's a sloppy attempt at a takedown. For some reason, MrBeast really gets under the skin of a tiny, loud group of progressives who try to make him out to be the bad guy, and this article feels like it's just hopping on tha

My main issue with articles like this is they're packed with so much bookish, social and literary theory that they exaggerate their capacity to accurately describe reality. To put it simply and honestly, we're so caught up in our

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sle

The illusion of a borderless world has faded. The comfortable notion of "global citizenship" was a fleeting artifact of American dominance. As new realities emerge, the vital concept of state security demands far greater vigilanc

To quote Gervais' bit: On Twitter, people sometimes say, “Why don’t you keep your opinions to yourself?” I go, “You’re following me. I didn’t tweet at you.” That’s like going to a notice board in the middle of town, seeing a sign for g

History shows us that term limits mainly stop those who'd play by the rules from getting re-elected. The guys who couldn't care less about the rules? They'll just whip up a new law to extend their stay in power. Putin being t

Which makes sense, the plan in Germany was pretty straightforward: snag cheap gas from Russia, flip it for a profit to the rest of Europe, and juice up their manufacturing sector. Essentially, they were aiming to cash in big time, even if i
