You're making a normative argument. The fact that other people publish crap is irrelevant, unless you actually intend to lend implicit justification of the status quo's existence just because it exists. "Ought", meet &qu

I've heard that the managers there aren't nearly as big a problem as the incentive structures that are imposed on managers. The competitiveness within the ranks compromises the office culture. This was explained to me as the origi

Sure. "Preprint" implies prior to printing, which means that there's a reasonable expectation for this paper to be submitted, accepted, and printed in a scholarly journal. What we have here is little more than a tongue-in-che

They care, just not enough to justify losing a single convenience that they didn't know they needed.

The first point is obviously true, the second point is just an assumption you're making and trying to dress up as fact. Can't imagine why anyone would want to do that, unless maybe they work for Amazon in a capacity related to thi

The thing is, this has been known since even before the current crop of LLMs. Anyone who considered (only the English) language to be sufficient to model the world understands so little about cognition as to be irrelevant in this conversati

The stock market is, put crudely, a 'vibe check' on investor sentiments more than it is any indication of economic trouble per se, so your take is more reasonable than you let on.

Something I've noticed is that the facade of "efficiency" isn't even being proferred anymore. Only a month and a half in and the mask has dropped completely.

On the other hand, arbitrary conjecture in absence of evidence should be treated exactly as such. It's worth noting that there are a number of phenomena for which we have built detectors to find this mysterious "dark matter",

The alignment of certain evidence of certain parts of GR does not necessarily imply the correctness of the parts of GR that are not relevant to the evidence we have access to.

The parts of GR we trust in order to interpret the data from our instruments is trusted precisely because there is evidence to back up those parts of the theory . We have no idea if that theory holds on the other side of a boundary across

That is a theory that makes predictions, not evidence. As you may note in my comments above, I am speaking exclusively to evidence.

As I understand, the terminology has evolved since the time that Dexter was still being released. The DSM-V does not list either sociopathy or psychopathy, so any definitions ultimately have no authority and are merely colloquial. That be

That assumes there is gravity, or even universe, "inside" the black hole. We don't have any evidence of that.

I think we should have a reckoning as a society regarding the prevalence and predilections of sociopaths. Patric Gagne is a PsyD with diagnosed sociopathy (technically anti-social personality disorder, I think ) who writes and speaks about

A more diplomatic and uncontroversial way to put it is that the event horizon is the only thing we have any evidence for.

That's a thought-terminating cliche with no actual basis in fact. I see no evidence that your "so" is indeed an explanation.

You're acting as if the 20-somethings were holding the reins. They absolutely were not -- they were looking to the higher-ups for guidance and authority. The term 'banality of evil' comes to mind in regard to the limited know

The elephant in the room is that this is about as excoriating a jab as Terence Tao can dole out against the brute and unconsidered actions of Ol' Musky on our (federal) government. For our sake, I hope Tao is also correct in that damag

I'm probably further left than most people you've met, and even I've come around to the idea that cosmopolitanism isn't the zenith of culture, but the negation of it.

Corporations are legally allowed to collect much more and more varied kinds of data than governments, in general. Governments are not barred from purchasing data from private corporations, and it's unclear what an actually-enforceable

This same logic applies for every single other proposal (charge money for on-street parking, etc.). Many people would not be able to afford to live where they already do if that change was done overnight.

You may not believe this, but there is no moral quality to money, spent or otherwise. There is no mandate and no value to obeying Musk's wishes. If he wants to, he could apply legal mechanisms. The fact he's resorting to public pa
