In case you didn't know, the US had already been blockading the Iranian Gulf before the "deal" (surrender) that lifted sanctions on Iran.

The thing about autarky. It ain't for people who don't want to work in a plastics factory, I guess. And it contributed to the rise of fascism in the 1930s. Funny coincidence that.

Climate emergency: when my house floods or burns in a forest fire. Climate alarmism: when your house floods or burns in a forest fire. Climate hoax: when somebody in another country's house floods or burns in a forest fire.

Regulations exist for a reason. Polluting industries like the plastics business would obviously prefer not to be burdened by them. I am not particularly sympathetic to their concerns.

Clojure is Lisp, Guile is Lisp, Racket is Lisp, R and Julia have Lisp under the hood; but the spirit of Lisp also lives on in Javascript, Ruby, Rust, and every functional programming language ever, plus all the languages that incorporated f

I will never get back the 150 seconds that I spent skim-reading this half-baked nonsense with increasing disgust and disbelief.

I question the coherence of this notion of intelligence as continuum of domain-general ability. Specific measures of ability tend to cluster at the low end more than they do at the high end. This explains both the correlations among abiliti

No, stupidity is very general. The statistical association between different areas of ability, which is reified in the concept of IQ, is because people who are bad at one thing are bad at everything. The Stanford-Binet test was developed as

Speculation on Trump's use of GLP-1 receptor agonists is beneath the impeccably right-wing Economist. But clearly it would be too little too late to arrest his mental decline. He is too many cheeseburgers in.

Meh. The EVO-X2 came out six months and is cheaper. Any word yet on when the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 495 is coming out?

100%. The US is high-trust for insiders (rich white people). We allowed Donald Trump to loot the richest and most powerful society in history by imagining that he would follow the example of previous presidents instead of seeing him for the

Agreed, although most of what humans do is pretty pointless in that context. Even if AI turns out to be a multiplier that makes everyone quicker and smarter, people will mostly just want to use it to make more money than the next guy. The h

I agree with the author's overall conclusion about pricing LLMs, although I question some of the reasoning. He does not talk enough about one important input: the data used to train the models. To a first approximation, their utility i

Vegans and street preachers are insufferable precisely because they have correctly identified a problem, but don't acknowledge any alternative to the one solution that they have chosen.

Because 0 is not 1. Consider the equation x = 5/y. Let us assume that the variable x is defined for every value of y. Then x * y = 5 (after multiplying both sides by y). Let us also assume, as you suggest, that when y = 0, x = 5/0

To be fair, the blog author is a cancer researcher and would seem to have plenty of experience in the toxicology aspects. So I am confused why this post takes such a naive approach to the epidemiological data. There is a very obvious unmeas
