Okay — what specific rules of war do you believe have been broken? …what specific atrocities? I was responding to the demand for “tit-for-tat” and claims this was unusually brutal; neither of those are true. You’re now making different, non

That’s always the case. At 2:1 civilians to combatants, this is an unusually low civilian death count.

Do you really not understand why process and rules matter in government? The whole point of a system of rights and courts is that when the government wants to end your decades old business through administrative authority, they at least hav

Indexes of SP500 without Boeing should outperform ones including Boeing, if you’re predicting that Boeing will underperform in 25 years. You don’t have to short; you can use the knowledge to tune your retirement holdings. You could even wei

Remember when Facebook censored true stories about COVID vaccine injuries because it was “malinformation” — at the request of federal agencies? This will enhance that.

Cut the sensor out and wire it to USB. Or get a premade Chinese device that will do it for you, just like they happily broke HDMI encryption to make splitters work.

Both of those are true though. What is it you’re saying is a delusion?

Why? — I agree that it’s not reproducible, but so what? We have 2-3 service updates a day from a dozen engineers working asynchronously — and we allow non-critical packages to float their versions. I’d say that successfully applies a fix&#x

Birds are in the clade ornithurae, which is within the clade dinosauria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird I’m unaware of any lizards in that clade, so if you want to own dinosaurs , then the birds are a better optio

> Sure you can continue to make MOND work to some degree, but is it really predictive if you keep adding things to make it work? Do you hold dark matter theories to this standard?

Three examples: 1. having ChatGPT generate boilerplate, because I’m lazy; 2. having ChatGPT attempt something I don’t know as a starting point, eg JavaScript; or, 3. having ChatGPT give a reference rather than Google myself, eg of a config

That’s people’s objection to “woke” views on ethnicity: You’ve returned to the world of racial essentialism, the most debunked form of racism, where you argue nonsense about what kinds of buildings people should make based on their ancestry

I find that a lot of future doomerism is rooted in not doing anything now: “We have to build a world where human society retreats and tens of millions die alone unsupported, because [insert warning about centuries away based on dubious as

Is it true even in that example? 251MJ is what 2000kcal diet for a month works out to. That’s also 2.5kW for 100 servers for 1000 seconds. Is it true that a human would write a better book in a month than a well-designed algorithm? Maybe.

No, riding around on a bicycle cleaning trash is not the same as fire bombing a construction site. That’s why one gets praise and the other gets criminal charges. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/fire-atlanta-constructi

That’s exactly the point, the corporation wouldn’t: Those small, diffuse shareholders aren’t typically represented by the board or executives, who are substantially controlled by a minority cabal. Do you think people with DIS in their retir

Addition looks like a donut with a twist, in both finite and infinite, one-point compactified cases. (A reason we recognize them as “the same” operation.) Imagine a clock laying on a table, and then placing clocks at each number which are r

There two situations: 1. You and your friends hire that lobbyist with your private funds. 2. The corporation as an entity hires the lobbyist. They’re saying the second should be illegal and it’s unclear how your personal rights are impacted

It’s not illegal and you can use open spectrum, etc. But the government monitors communications. The FBI and CIA infiltrated gaming groups as well. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36100994

I keep a daily journal, usually: - “I could have handled X better by doing Y.” - “Seeing A made me curious about B; maybe look into that.” - “I really tried at K, but oof didn’t work out; let’s try L tomorrow!” - “I did really good at P, Q,

When you exchange two identical particles, you normally don’t see a change (except in phase) — eg, if I have three in a row, but swap 1 and 2, then 2 and 3, you shouldn’t be able to tell that from swapping 2 and 3 then 1 and 2. The exchange
