That ‘uses an iq chart from a tabloid mag’ thread reminded me how bad the Lw Rationalists are at Lw Rationality. It is supposed to help you be less biassed, but nope first google hit from a bad source and almost zero community pushback, because it confirms their bias about IQ, and the relative value of fields.

Wonder if it would be more ‘die regeln sind die regeln’, but my German is quite poor. I can understand it a little bit, but can’t really speak it.

The incuriosity, not just in how things are, but also in how things could be changed, and even if things are really necessary.

Just ‘regels zijn regels’ shit. (Sorry living in .nl is great, it just has a few big flaws. Like people shouting ‘regels zijn regels’, who never apply those rules to themselves as well (it also amuses me a bit that this will look a bit like german so it looks like I’m doing a Godwin to people just glancing over my post)).

And in our moment of greatest need, they disappeared.

E: hope they just bored and stopped and not something worse.

Don’t anthropomorphize, they are not alive, destroy them.

Don’t make me tap the sign!

A thing which came under criticism here, as while this program is being set up they are also doing budget cuts on universities. So don’t expect much from .nl here. Also our gov is a mess, more interested at putting up border controls (this year they caught 250 people, which they consider a big success for re-instituting border controls). So yeah doubt, esp with Wilders in gov and opposition at the same time.

Think Germany and the Uk created travel advisories against the US. ( As we the Dutch are mostly neutral cowards, 20% putins lackey, almost an American vassal state, and very good at ignoring the rest of the world, doubt we will anytime soon).

E: To make it clear this is quite horrible and unthinkable. The MAGA people are moving so fast and the opposition is doing so little (still hoping that like the last war it will be stopped at the courts).

Thanks!

Thanks!

Sorry what is a HN green name?

Even worse, he got caught handing them out. And even with all that, I’d expect a tech CEO to just go ‘why not use signal?’ or ‘what threat profile do you think we have?’ (sorry I keep coming back to this, it is just so fucking weird, like ‘everything I know I learned from television shows’ kind of stuff)

When this all was revealed his popularity also tanked apparently. Center/left now dislikes him, the right doesn’t trust him. So another point for the ‘don’t move right on human rights you dummies’ brigade.

That list (which isn’t properly sourced) seems to combine both high academic fields with non academic fields so I have no idea what this list is trying to prove even. (Also, see the fakeness of IQ and there is pressure for ‘smart’ people to go into stem etc etc). I wouldn’t base my argument on a quick google search which gives you information from a tabloid site. Wonder why he didn’t link to his source directly? More from this author: “We met the smartest Hooters girl in the world who has a maths degree and wants to become a pilot” (The guy is now a researcher at ‘Hope not Hate’ (not saying that to mock the guy or the organization, just found it funny, do hope he feels a bit of ‘oh, I should have made different decisions a while back, wish I could delete that’))

Yeah prob important to note that one of the lw precursor blogs was from an economist, so that is why they consider them one of the good fields. Important to not call out your own tribe.

Well the use of stuff like fuzzers has been a staple for a long time so ‘compared to manual testing’ is doing some work here.

Governor Saul Goodsom.

There’s a bitcoin wallet attack that uses this trick that was mentioned recently, maybe here

It was here, but also it is an older trick, it just isnt crippling the ecosystem as some exchanges simply dont care. It prob fucks up peoples lives quite badly however.

You cant use the word fuck. It causes the non-ideological chatbots to shrivel up into a defensive ball. Like conservatives do.

(Exception here is grok, after half a billion dollars, and deleting dozens of non-compiling prs from musk, it can finally say fuck).

Amazing. They think thinking about science fiction and technology is the same as actually doing the work, and compare themselves to the industrial revolution. Railroads, factories, blockchain.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

E: I hope I don’t have to explain how extremely reactionary for the industrial revolution this dumb cryptocurrency ad is. (Also how conspiratorial, nobody is stopping yall from building cryptoshit, in fact the richest people on the world are on your side and it looks like they are trying to support you (ignore the hands in the treasury), it is just that people you think are socially cool(*) think you are lame). E2 forgot to mention, amazing how bad twitter has become, a lot of the bluecheck replies that float to the top there are just crap.

*: myself excluded, I am very uncool.
