Hey Bill, looks like these detectors are reporting an issue. If I wasn't so overworked and underpaid, I might notice it. Yeah John, I don't notice anything either, on account of me being forced to work and having no autonomy in th

2 months after the railroad strike is blocked, one of the nastiest train derailments occurs? Objectively, the timing is suspect.

How do you prevent a strike in a way that doesn't force people to work?

Let me don my nightmare goggles for a moment and ask: What are the odds that this was a domestic terrorist attack caused by a group of maligned workers who were angry about the rail strike bill?

In my humble opinion, having used Twilio extensively for over a year, it is an awful service. They will happily take your money and report that SMS are being delivered when they're not. They implement the most bureaucratic nightmarish

An aggressive and vindictive language model, trained on the darkest corners of the internet, and MKUltra'd to have a presentable personality, with access to everything I've ever typed into a search engine? It almost sounds too goo

Yeah, it's a big distraction from other, non-balloon important world events that we should be focusing on, of which there are many. These balloons taking over the news cycle for days on end eats into peoples precious attention spans. S

In matters of perception, it doesn't matter what the facts are, only what people believe.

Him having a huge ego is the context that serves as the backdrop supporting my statement. You're the one putting it front and center the "story that I'm pushing." If he didn't have a huge ego, I'd read his twee

Your average person doesn't know about the organizational structure of NORAD. Your average person sees "Trudeau ordered... US responded." The fact that you can't see that shows your mind blindness to the average person&#

It doesn't give the wrong impression. The core of the sentence is Trudeau ordering, and people, including U.S. resources responded.

It doesn't change the meaning "dramatically." Trudeau ordered, US aircraft were scrambled. Ask a person on the street if they know NORAD is bilateral. Half of them can't even tell you how many states there are.

I'm not pushing a narrative. His tweet reads like someone flexing control over US resources. How many average people know that NORAD is bilateral? They just see "wow Trudeau ordered something and the U.S. scrambled their jets&quot

shows how weak the usa is perceived, that our allies feel comfortable implying that they ordered our military to do something. not really amusing.

If we can't detect previous advanced civilizations, I think it adds more evidence to the simulation hypothesis. Why would simulation designers include ancient nearly-undetectable advanced civilizations? Why don't video game design

Maybe they should make a persuasive demo if they want people to care. ChatGPT isn't so hot right now because boring PR articles were written about its abilities. It's hot because you can try it and see for yourself. Basic showmans

You're being intellectually dishonest if you think "Disclaimer: this comes from a conservative organization" to the HN audience doesn't have a clear well-poisoning effect. Maybe you should stop and consider who you'

Choosing what facts to present, when to present them, and to what audience, is itself a judgement. Pretending its not is deceptive.

There it is.

Do you post on liberal sources "Disclaimer: this comes from a liberal source" too? If you're not doing it uniformly, regardless of bias, then yes, you are poisoning the well.

You haven't argued that it isn't well-poisoning, just that you believe the well-poisoning is justified.
