>It has a hierarchy, but it has multiple hierarchies. the Church has been "multipolar" on multiple levels for about as long as it's existed. A very easy to parse political example from recent history is during ww2 when Cro

The Torment-Nexus industrial complex continues to grow. Would really love to have a conversation with researchers who work on these kinds of things. I'm sure there are peripheral avenues that this research will open up, but how do yo

there is a specific, very modern strain of mostly anglosphere protestant christian religion that can hinder intellectual progress. When I say "very modern" I mean within the last 2-300 years. Most of intellectual history in post

I can't help but think that there is a deliberate effort to remove the US from it's position in the global geopolitical arena. And not merely as a by-product of policy decisions but specifically to damage the American reputation.

Holy cow, I never even thought about that in relation to AMP. It's not a new thing, then.

Of course they are, because they are not primarily concerned with the reporting of noteworthy events. They are most worried about profit with the secondary goal of reporting but only insofar as it serves the first goal. This is a wider tr

>Why look at a website when it's all in AI? well, at least in the case of google, I'm pretty sure that's the point. Or at least, they are doing things that would seem to be moving towards being an oracle with all the answ

This would be more of an indictment if we were closer to the 19th century rather than 5 popes deep into public denouncements of American militarism.

There are too many grad students, is my point. Like, obviously, not all grad students go into academia, but that is the main career track for a graduate degree in a lot of fields.

as far as I know. She also had to do serious therapy and addiction recovery stuff, so it wasn't like she was magically cured of being addict simply by using ibogaine, in, case that is how my story came off.

I have a friend who received ibogaine as a treatment, in mexico, for opiate addiction and it is not at all like your average hallucinogenic drug. for starters, she had to go through cardiac tests before they would even administer the stuff

There are simply too many candidates and not enough roles to fill and certainly not enough money for research. This is great for the universities but it's awful for grad students and assorted post-grads/docs/whatever. Now y

boy, if we treat it like junk food, things are only going to get worse for some places in the world. The food over here in the states is pretty awful if you aren't paying attention. Sugar in everything, high calorie/low nutritio

if people are reading the articles through wayback, then they aren't making any money because no data is harvested and no click-thrus or impressions or whatever the metric is are registered.

I haven't read the article (because I hate Medium) but I reckon the biggest reason why LLM-assisted projects use Python is because there is a metric buttload of python code on the web to be slurped up and used as training fodder.

See, the thing that makes a genocide is all the dead people. The dead people who were killed by Israeli missiles and bombs. Or when they, the Israeli military, denied aid workers entry into the steaming heap of rubble that they, the Israe

This is their entire MO though; they offer a free product to build a customer base then they figure out how to get to know them biblically in an attempt to extract a profit and it doesn't matter how underhanded or unsavory it is. Maybe

sometimes it's an acquisition of some product and sometimes it's to explicitly to kill off the thing without concern for any product.

what is the appeal of blindly blasting open source projects with high-volume PRs? If you're trying to help the project to accomplish something, it doesn't follow that a firehose approach is tenable, if only for the fact that revie

Assuming this trend continues, I think people are going to start re-using older hardware rather than turning to server-grade hardware (which is often not convenient for the average residential situation). At least, that's what I hope

Besides the questionable ethics of billionaires in general, I'd say Turner's biggest blunder was inventing the 24 hour news cycle, which has since been used to push a lot awful stuff that Ted himself probably found pretty distaste

I think there's an unexamined assumption here that "the next thing" is always going to be an improvement but there is no, non-ideological reason to hold to this assumption. Ideally, we would be actively working towards makin
