Not really. It’s pretty good. Growth will just bring more bot wars. But I guess bot-immigration is just a permanent trait of the internet now.

The context of… reading the fabric of the universe?

You’re right, that is totally irrelevant to… a physicist.

I see you’re trolling, so I look forward to your condescending response, but to be successfully condescending you have to be at least somewhat convincing in displaying intelligence, if you can manage that then this whole argumentative act will go much better and people will get much angrier.

TLDR, Try the same troll tactic but with less incompetence for better results.

Adding to their perspective, as another kid who grew up in a poor family… why not? Rich families were always spending “insane” amounts (aka literally any amount) on food, vacations, extra cars…

$2,500 for a day trip? …sounds insane and unachievable, just like everything else in life. So, yeah, why wouldn’t it cost that much?

When you are poor, the cost of everything sounds insane.

The elected doctor. /s

Jk, I had a hard time pinpointing the target of speech as well, the final comment about holding elected office was the only indicator I found. Most people are really poor communicators/writers, eh?

It seemed to me that the “beautiful propaganda” as you call it… and I can’t really disagree with you… could be an olive-branch extended from the SK film industry to NK audience (because we know NKs smuggle and watch SK dramas… even a soldier in the show does that).

So idk, I like to always approach things pessimistically AND optimistically… then compare the two perspectives. In this case you’re the critic and I’m devil’s advocate.

Will it make a difference on the large scale? No. Will it delight and sway a few NK citizens toward reunification? I’d guess probably. But who knows.

What about hang gliders being piloted during a tornado by a South Korean corporate heiress? No? Damn, they never learn.

“Wow Johnson, no matter how much biased data we feed this thing it just keeps repeating biases from human society.”

Sample input from a systematically racist society (the entire world), get systematically racist output.

No shit. Fix society or “tune” your model, whatever that entails…

Obviously only one of these is feasible from a developer perspective.

This is my opinion. Timing intake is a low value, high effort task.

I’d rather first focus on high value, low effort tasks. Then low value, low effort tasks, then if I really want to optimize I’m finally at low value, high effort tasks.

By the time I reach those tasks it’s likely I’m beyond diminishing returns and I should apply my focus elsewhere.

The only additions I have :

1. What I ate yesterday is going to affect my workout more tha anything I can eat today.
2. Timing is relevant if it upsets your stomach during the workout, beyond that ignore it.

TLDR, stick to solving other high value tasks, meet your macros, forget about timing.

Yes, similar to the web of trust, there exists a web of trust for people based on reputation. Journalistic integrity, openness, scrutiny; these are just a few of the things that go away when experts go away.

People who dedicate their lives to truth should be recognized as such, and those who lie should be recognized as well. Outsourcing your information gathering to “randoms” just means that you will be swayed by whoever can afford the best bot farm.

And if you think you are unswayable, you are the perfect target.

Follow those who express curiosity, welcome questioning, and conduct themselves in good faith. It’s an iterative process, you don’t have to resolve it in a day.

It is a great time saver, the confederate flag serves a similar purpose.

It says, “I can’t wait to be disagreeable to you if you aren’t on my team.”

Occasionally I end up in the homes of one of these people, I keep to myself, keep everything professional and nothing more, yet they’ll prod at you to try to figure out what you think, aka “Are you on my team or are you the enemy?” It’s so exhausting. I just play dumb until I can get away.

Headphones are great for this.

Another one bites the dust.

I admit it, I once assumed Elon was a genius.
(events happen)
Okay, not a genius, but a good businessman.
(events happen)
Okay, a bad businessman, a good PR person.
(events happen)
Okay, a bad PR person, but not a Nazi.
(events happen)
Well fuck, he’s a Nazi supporting conspiracy theorist.

God damn, if I was that wrong about one person. I’m just gonna stop having opinions about famous people. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
