Fun fact: a lot of people think artificial grape flavoring doesn't taste like grapes. And that the "Welch's concord grape jam" variety of jams is artificially flavored. Nope, that's just what some grapes taste like.

The solution to this is legislation. Legislation enshrining a right to not be studied, a right to be forgotten, penalties for even creating certain kinds of datasets. I think the Americans should push for a constitutional amendment that pro

> Red light cameras, for example, strike me as unalloyed good. I get where you're coming from, but there's a big problem: our laws did not evolve to be enforced effectively. They are appropriate when they are enforced selective

Yes, but if you don't allow corporations to lay off people when it makes sense you end up with low salaries, meaningless jobs, and economic stagnation (like Europe). Europe is nice to visit but a giant pain in the ass to do business in

My experience is that unions very often make things stupider and less efficient. I've been forced to give to two of them that were basically just political cosplay by children (well really the $ was taken without consent before it was

Yeah, I posted before I saw your comment here but "cosplay" is a good word for it.

It looks like WMF employs about 700 people worldwide. "On 3 September 2026, the WWU–US NLRB election was successful, with 158 of the 172 ballots cast supporting unionisation" My read is this is privileged kids play-acting their po

!!!THIS IS NOT A MEASURE OF CORRUPTION!!! This is a measure of perceptions of corruption. Among regular Americans who have little to no first-hand information about it. While there may be some correlation between this measure and corrupti

While Americans deserve better (and more clearly articulated) protections, this is a retarded take. The U.S. does an EXCELLENT job protecting the rights of citizens and non-citizens, even at the border, relative to other countries in the wo

In addition to making it abundantly clear that we will not stand for a techno-Stasi, we need to remember to vote out the buffoons responsible for this too.

1) U.S. healthcare spending subsidizes the rest of the world, much like U.S. defense spending. New drugs wouldn't be developed at the same rate if it wasn't profitable to do so, and it's profitable largely because it's p

Eh I think we're more resilient than that. It'd be shocking, yes, but in the end I don't think it would be that much of a disruption from the point of view of the species.

If "complete and total global nuclear exchange" means "we shoot off all the nukes we've got", then how bad that is depends on how many nukes there are - not whether we shoot all of them or not. "Complete and to

It just...has made it. Plenty of power users just use it as their primary OS. I think official figures under-estimate it because many people daily-driving will spoof user agents of other OSes. And there's Android.

I'd say it's tough to say. On the one hand, one of the major nuclear powers is embroiled in a war in Europe. Which is extremely bad news and clearly makes the probability of nuclear war increase. On the other hand, we're gett

Yes, this is the thing. In the scientific enterprise, the writing is mostly wasted time. Why would you write it up if machines can do it competently? Sure, some people are artists - but most aren't.

Neat info. I would guess that Toyota produces twice as many vehicles per employee at least in part because the regulatory and social environment where Toyota operates is better. There is often an underlying sensible economic reason for doin

NERVA / RD-0410 are basically like chemical rockets but better (maybe 800s specific impulse, vs. 300 for a chemical rocket). In contrast, Orion was 6,000s to maybe 100,000 theoretically.

It could be monologue or dialogue, but it should be less full of verbal "syntactic sugar" than NotebookLM podcasts. More to the point, more detail-oriented, can pronounce math. Can pronounce math is the real showstopper for me. La

I'd like to have audio overviews of scientific papers, so I can "read" them while I drive. NotebookLM/Gemini Notebook sorta does this, but the two-person podcast format is kind of annoying and it can't pronounce mat
