Matt Taibbi brought up a case of a guy who put up montages of Trump saying the 2020 election was rigged cut up with clips of liberal media figures saying the Russians stole 2016. Pure trolling, kind of funny, 100% clips of public figures wi

You're responding to a post that gave you examples. The mechanics are work contracts with a grievance process, if you're curious.

Sure but if everything you're doing can be done from userspace, then you should probably be in userspace. In the LLM case mentioned, having to hop a syscall every few teraflops is probably not a compelling reason to live in kernel spac

The whole point of being in kernel space is to write unsafe code -- either unsafe in a memory sense or in a "I am just blasting characters at this pcie port" sense.

Liquefied, not compressed. Pressure vessels are heavy, just liquefy it by getting it really cold. It only needs to perform for 10 minutes in booster stages.

The point is that the observations were completely uncontroversial and good science. The problem was that they conflicted with a political narrative someone wanted. If someone takes that more seriously than following the evidence where it

It's the opposite. There's a lot of pressure in academia to find and publicize examples of "not hierarchical and male dominated" settlements, especially ones that achieved technical successes. A friend once received a 1

Thanks for the numbers, that puts it in better perspective. Although I'm guessing that was an uncontested election, sounds like <10% turnout. Still, it's material.

I didn't say that, I said I've never seen it swing a vote. I'm sure people working at the missile factory vote but it's a relatively small number. Re: infra, you're right, I guess I'm just letting my personal

SpaceX is on record with not wanting to use hydrogen for the "pain in the ass factor". It boils at a lower point than oxygen, so you have to insulate the tanks from each other, it's very.. undense (sparse?) per volume so you

I always hear this and I never hear anyone say they voted for senate based on Abrams tank manufacturing or whatever. Is it a senate cultural thing that they all tell themselves despite tenuous links to reality? Is it kickbacks? Why doesn&#x

How many black people did the Jan 6 criminals shoot? It sounds like allegiance is more important than deeds. Ingroup, outgroup.

Have you considered whether you're overly attached to the ingroup/outgroup thing with how you characterize the above? A bunch of liberal people shut down the Seattle capitol for a few days at the height of Black Lives Matter and i

You need the concepts in your head to have intuition. Bouncing each idea all the way out to an external resource is too slow. Can you fake it with an LLM for a while? Sure. But you hit a point where you need to know the right things to p

They weren't unfriendly until we decided to make them so about 5 years ago. Policymakers in the late 90s couldn't necessarily predict swings in American opinion 20 years later.
