I gave one quote that is an example of the lack of thought, here’s another, “by spending millions of dollars on research into manipulating the human brain. But while the science never exactly panned out, residual…
Arguably that’s the meta force behind social media. The platforms are designed to make people think in collectivist terms, which coincidentally (or not) makes things easier for more tyrannical forms of government.…
I’d say a lot of that is genetic and or cultural. At the very least there are many of us who do not possess that instinct. We have much lower karma scores but we don’t care.
“the skill to stop being angry” Often that amounts to changing the people or circumstances in one’s life. That’s the point of therapy. A good therapist wouldn’t help a sexually abused child stay in a bad situation and…
The world is nothing but edge cases. Expressing anger requires cooperation. If someone doesn’t want to listen, and you express anger at them anyway, is it not abuse?
I think the answer about why it’s so specific is if you just say you threw someone out of a window people might assume it was only one story high and not lethal. Defenestration tells you that it was a high window, and…
“Not only did we measure significant concentrations of PFAS in these containers, we can estimate the PFAS that were leaching off creating a direct path of exposure,” said study coauthor Graham Peaslee, PhD, professor of…
Right. Urbanism is a primary driver of racial strife and violence. Look at crime stats. Cities make people violent. Nature makes people calmer and less likely to commit violent acts.
Suburbia isn’t famous for its total lack of sidewalks. It’s not famous for being unsafe to bike in either.
Not in the Bay Area. Or manhattan. City living is for the wealthy. Working folks live in cheaper places like East Palo Alto.
You don’t know latin I see. Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a well known fallacy where one assumes that something that follows an event in time was caused by that event.
“AI will lower the barrier for entry level position” No. Empirically, has it? It will do the opposite. It removes trust, therefore making existing powers more powerful. Ain’t going to democratize anything but cybercrime.
I’m finding twitter (now x) is rapidly replacing YouTube in direct proportion to YouTube’s increasing suckifucation. At least for new content. Mostly I use YouTube for old content that is or should be in the public…
From the anecdotes I hear, it seems dubious from an ethical standpoint because the assertion is almost always that a person cannot think clearly due to add, so they need meds. But how can they consent to taking those…

Condom removal? Edit: I see the law is catching up there: https://apnews.com/article/health-crime-california-gavin-new...
Arrow going back and forth between r/python can be a catch too iirc.
Moreover, I myself like being able to open broken csv files in a text editor, to find nulls and other problematic junk.
“the use case where people often reach for CSV, parquet is easily my favorite” My use case is that other people can’t or won’t read anything but plain text.
Spending money excessively is a pretty classic symptom. Mania looks like adhd, but accomplishes much more.
Oh I think most people who complain are upset by the attitude of medical workers and overall hubris inherent in the profession. It’s very correlated with wealth of the patient. Wealthy people can afford well paid happy…
Quetiapine isn’t typically on the menu for mere insomnia. At least that’s what I’ve been told when I’ve asked various doctors about it. Trazodone acts an antihistamine at lower dosages as I’ve been told. My experience…
That was one of my first uh oh moments with gpt. Getting code that clearly had untestable/unreadable regexen, which given the source must have meant the regex were gpt generated. So much is going to go wrong, and soon.
There’s a handy cliche: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. In concrete terms a zero is different from a missing value.
