Every social media platform is manipulated by it's owners and elites. There's no way to get around it, not when your KPIs are user engagement and advertising dollars. Twitter has become a particularly nasty version of…
This is the only comment you made so far that made sense, with clear assertions and references. Everything else was unfounded or inflammatory without any concrete assertion, which is why it vibed like "Fox News talking…
It seems likely that theoretical work would still be done on battleships, after we stopped using them in the real world.
Fraud sucks and is ever evolving. Everyone gets hit in increasingly elaborate scams, and companies with degrading services makes it easier. Some things I'm surprised weren't in the article, given that the author…
Not a big fan of Heidt. Way too much political, unsubstantiated and handwavy rhetoric from him. And his track record has been entirely unconvincing. The only reasonable way I can interpret his work is that of a…
I think the answer is that ECS isn't supposed to solve those problems directly. It's just a framework that makes a certain class of problems very easy to solve. But big picture complexity is still up to the developer's…
A corrupt Spanish organization, trying to support a corrupt Korean organization, only brings more credence to the argument that SPNP was a bad idea.
I'm not really into Twitter, so I'm guessing there's some drama you are referencing that is topical. But, I'm not talking about any society wide issue or philosophical treatise about trust and breakdowns in…
I'm not sure if confabulate is exactly what LLMs do (though it seems closer than the implications of hallucinate). But neurotypical, neurodiverse, perfectly functional people, etc. all confabulate or do something…
Music from the hit 1993 video game Doom. The first level's theme. In case you weren't joking. It was quite the popular game.
It's trivial that nice communities exist on Facebook. Positive, engaged people build good communities, regardless of platform or technology. The same distributions of haves and have-nots exist on any platform.…
The only reason why this travesty persists is because Putin still holds the world hostage with Russia's nuclear arsenal. The only future for the world lies in cooperation, peace, and prosperity. Not this campaign of…
10% is a token number for argument's sake, not any rate based on reality
Love the final explanation for how ivermectin can be incidentally good for COVID-19 patients, even if it does nothing to COVID-19 directly. In fact, as the author cites from another researcher, the trials are a strong…
Freedom of Association: An individual's right to join or leave groups voluntarily, the right of the group to take collective action to pursue the interests of its members, and the right of an association to accept or…
The original report only analyzes successful exonerations. There are many times more cases out there of false convictions, victims who have not seen the light of day. Those without exculpatory evidence have basically no…
"Plagiarism detection software" can most certainly be misused and abused - it's quite a slippery slope, difficult to administer fairly, and likely to create unwarranted chilling effects. The author was almost certainly…
To reply to the actual content of the paper: Understanding the factors behind video gaming as a problematic behavior separate from addiction is quite useful. Oftentimes, video games and other behaviors are driven by…
The title of this submission should be changed to reflect the content of the paper - it neither talks about gaming in general, nor does it imply that video game achievement is false. To clarify, this study focuses…
Seems like red hearing - why are we ignoring the criminal prosecution system whenever such crimes happen? Relying on civil cases to resolve crimes against the people is step backwards from justice. Police officers…
Does that not suggest that CEOs are worth their cost to the vast majority of companies that retain them? What companies operate without a de facto CEO?
Maybe OP meant to be... ironical. If we're being that charitable.
I have no answer for the rest of the article, but I've been poking around school administrations for quite a while now. One of the problems with public school administrators and teachers is that staff are relatively…
I wonder if there's an underlying reason for the Fox news benchmark being the fastest. If page load time is largely determined by quality/quantity of ads, is Fox News serving the "best" ads to make their website faster?…
Kinda reminds me of how the United States is set up. California and Alabama are composed of different populations, differ on key issues, but still share many overarching principles and laws. Group identities are key to…
