See my comments below on Vioxx - even the manufacturers admitted covid shots caused myocarditis in young men - why are you so sure this new therapy won't cause the same issues, or worse ?

As there is no safety data available on this new drug, what makes you say it is safe ? Pre 2020 it took an average of 10 years to release a new vaccine - why do you think it took that long ?

Radiation dose, for example, is precisely measured - we know exactly how much radiation the body is exposed to during therapy. mRNA products work by making our cells produce the desired protein/drug. There is no way of controlling how

not if you dropped dead from a heart attack after your therapy. Are you familiar with vioxx ? https://www.npr.org/2007/11/10/5470430/timeline-the-rise-and...

In other news, your barber thinks you need a haircut. Until there is a proven net overall health benefit to this therapy, I wouldn't waste much ink on it. Also, can someone please tell me how one controls the dose for an mRNA therapy ?

I see all you've got from the past 60 years is one tragic friendly fire incident. Iran has intentionally killed thousands of American civilians and service men either directly or through its proxies since 1979, including 43 American ci

great questions. The broad consensus is a bit tricky though. As they say: "Eat shit - 10 billion flies can't be wrong"

Here's the difference though - Israel is an ally of the United States while Iran is a sworn enemy that has killed thousands of Americans since the 1979 revolution and routinely chants "Death to America". So, not equivalent.

how do you gauge if a source is reputable ? genuinely curious

Something to keep in mind - responsiblestatecraft.org is published by the Quincy Institue, considered by many to be a de-facto lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Here is one data point: https://quillette.com/2

I think it is important to separate the artist's life from their works of art.Their lives are in some way immaterial to the enjoyment of their work, which even they themselves may not fully comprehend. Also life is messy: “You know how

I would love to have an open source Rust SIMD library with the scope and maturity that https://github.com/google/highway brings to C++.

this issue today is that governments can coerce people into taking those risks, regardless of risk appetite, or they can hide the actual risk. We saw this in real time over the past 6 years. That's why the precautionary principle is so

Not worth the time of day until it can be demonstrated that there is a net health benefit. Precautionary Principle FTW.

The article clearly implies that one of the reasons why they "talk such nonsense" is because they are male, but no explanation is given - bog standard misandry that I take umbrage with.

> males who come from narrow Stem (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) backgrounds I see, so women from narrow Stem backgrounds would totally handle these issues differently, got it.

Luzin's students referred to their community in Moscow during the 1920s as Luzin's Paradise, often nicknamed "Luzitania". I'm surprised the article didn't mention the "Luzin affair" : http:/&#x2

Many of their points ring true - increased pressure on maintainers, LLMs turning coders into paper pushers, the erosion of community. Regarding discussion here o democracy - pure democracy can lead to suppression of minority views. Democrac

It appears you are unable or unwilling to answer my question: which country, US or China, is closer to Mussolini's model?

by grokcodec 2mo ago
Define technofascism lol. Fascism was laid out by Mussolini in the 1920s - it amounts to the idolatry of the state. "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." B Mussolini Also defined as Corpora

This smells like a humble brag, driven by strong ego; count the number of 'I's in the post. I reckon the author is just as rigid in conversation as they always were, but now they can add "ego free" to their self satisfac

Maybe denial is a river in Egypt, but I (most of the time) believe that the glass is half full and we will need MORE humans as LLMs gain in ability. My thesis: 1. most jobs are created by small to medium size enterprise 2. the throttle for
