@razibkhan @joshtpm @sullydish its obviously symmetric; if someone shouldnt care about the status quo the asker shouldnt care about getting rid of the status quo

So my guess is that if Satoshi's identity is ever definitively revealed, 99% of us will say "Who?" and a handful of devs who worked at Lockheed or Oracle or Yahoo in the mid-2000s will remember their quiet libertarian buddy who retired at a weirdly young age.

The editor of "The Argument" really struggles to understand the argument. No, affirmative action is not an "edge case"—it's been the ruling formula of political life since the 60s. And you can't shrug off systematic state-backed discrimination with a casual "who cares."

I still maintain that the future of these cities is beige people fulminating about a white population that literally doesn't exist. It will be similar to how orthodox Jews rant and rave about Amalek today.
skepticalifornia@skepticaliblog

As Caldwell noted recently, due to relentless demographic change, NYC is probably unwinnable now for a Giuliani type, and may soon be unwinnable even for an establishment Democrat Demography is destiny, which is how NYC ends up with a Ugandan-born Indian mandating race communism

@kitten_beloved surely you could argue that its possible for the actual technical layers and architectures to recursively self improve even if almost nobody has enough compute to translate those technical improvements into better models

If recursive self improvement worked I could use Opus 4.6 to improve an open-source model until I got my own pocket Claude Obviously nobody is doing this, and AI boosters owe people a better explanation for why the gap exists now but won't later

i've been unimpressed in some ways with codex and claude code but it's hard to poke holes in the vulnerabilites found by mythos, especially since they were in the sort of low level code i've thought of LLMs as being worse at. i fear i'm updating pretty hard on this

i don't like the trump post for multiple reasons but by "civilization" it seems clear he means the islamic regime? he said "47 years of extortion... will finally end" and "god bless the great people of iran". not exactly genocidal imo

@Romy_Holland afaik the legal basis (which i don't agree with, to be clear) holds that it's cruel and unusual punishment to prevent homeless from sleeping in public when they don't have another option. so presumably that doesn't apply to normal responsible people

i’m really confused about how laws work here. if i tried to go camping in a public park tonight i’d likely be told i cannot, because it’s illegal. i’ve been cleared out of parks for stargazing after hours. a judge just ruled that berkeley has to give homeless people larger sidewalk spaces for camping than was previously determined. who qualifies for this? could i go stake out a piece of sidewalk?
Sanjana Friedman@metaversehell

Just learned the ‘Berkeley Homeless Union’ has been suing the city of Berkeley to prevent it from clearing a homeless encampment infested with what sounds like a kind of plague (“leptospirosis,” a deadly bacteria spread by rats)

we need to put more people in jail
CSPAN@cspan

NYC public advocate @JumaaneWilliams: "We represent about 25% of the worlds jail population, but we are not one of the safest countries in the world…We have to change the narrative from the people who fling the words like tough on crime, to people who are serious about safety."

Is Historic Preservation economically efficient? Probably not. But in exchange for that inefficiency, we get to see a little bit of our urban heritage in more than just photos. Public housing costs us far more and what do we get in return? Crime, ugliness, giant wastes of space.

There are whole swathes of cityscape which American and New York taxpayers pay through the nose to keep off the market. (Not just off the market, but basically off the map, assuming you value your safety.) I care more about freeing that land than bulldozing Greenwich Village.

It’s still crazy to me there’s entire neighborhoods in NYC less then 15 minutes by train into Manhattan that have *median household incomes* of $25k

“What makes me believe”: 3000 unmatched residency slots out of 44000. These slots are either in rural hospitals that people don’t want to go to or highly selective programs for which no one met the bar to train. I wouldn’t call 7% vacancy/not matched particularly tight but the two issues across the whole training funnel are that there aren’t enough capable and motivated people so slots go unfilled for lack of aptitude or qualification AND people who aren’t great don’t want to work in rural areas.

People in the comments dont like how much doctors make but I dont know a doctor who only works 40 hours a week. Also 100s of thousands in debt from school. Healthcare care costs are because of bureaucratic bloat not because the doctor gets paid. Still astounded I discovered my ob/gyn makes what I make and she puts in 70-80 hours a week and probably has a ton of loan debt

Kaiser LA wants to pay board-certified cardiologists $218.65/hr to work overnights and weekends. Don’t take this job. It’s hurts all of us.

@Ed_of_O @ouranometrian2 not an unreasonable objection in-itself (and i'm glad to have had this pointed out! good to know) but i'm not sure it affects the material details of my claim x.com/CountryBrahmin…
sudo@CountryBrahmin

@Tom_Hirschfeld @ouranometrian2 do you think it would be fair to say that "current doctors benefit from artificial supply constraints that were previously enacted with the support of the AMA and are therefore overpaid"? its not like i care that much to assign moral agency to doctors for AMA lobbying regardless
