What kind of omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent God would create a world in which altruism is not always the game-theory-optimal dominant strategy?

@caleb_friesen @dognosis What are the false positive and false negative rates?

Currently at Dognosis (@dognosis) in Bengaluru - they're working with dogs to detect cancer early. Their dogs sniff masks containing VOCs from patient breathing. Dognosis dogs have a 90% early-stage cancer detection success rate. What should I ask team Dognosis?

The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous inventor of Bitcoin, has remained unsolved for 17 years. Not anymore. Read my 18-month investigation to find out who Satoshi really is. nytimes.com/2026/04/08/bus…

In the darkest moments of my journey over the past few years, I began to wonder how I could possibly overcome being blacklisted and defamed by nearly every international media outlet. With no sponsors or support, I was left with just one friend. My greatest inspiration became Bobby Fischer. If he could defeat the entire Soviet machine on the chessboard without any help, then my own problems seemed smaller by comparison. I immersed myself in his life: reading everything I could, meeting his former friends and bodyguards. Eventually, I got to the core of what made his character so special. At that point, I understood what it takes to become a world champion. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I’m certain it will happen one day. I’ve overcome too much to stop now. Let this be a reminder to everyone, that no matter what you are dealing with, faith, perseverance, and rising above your detractors is the only solution.

@chess24com broadcasts are a boon to humanity. It's not even close.

I empathize more than ever at this point in my life with Feynman's artist friend who said that to take apart a flower was to ruin its beauty. I'm tired of this, grandpa.

@TopherStoll Seth McFarlane's The Orville is the spiritual successor to TNG, DS9, VOY, in my eyes.

This discourse is going to kill me. The entire world, including Andy Weir, cannot wrap their heads around the truth that- A. Star Trek has always been very progressive and political and that’s a key part of its identity. B. Modern trek is mostly very stupid and bad and it’s not because its politics have shifted.

@TopherStoll Their politics haven't shifted, but their presentation has. The show is no longer thoughtful or introspective. They want to tell you what they think, and the want you to accept it without question, and it seems like that's because the writers are too stupid to do anything else.

the space of possible options is basically just too large. there are too many things for me to be able to predict what the right thing to do would be. this could just be a quirk of the task itself. the only answer is volume of experiments

@Thehorrorkid it physically hurts me how bad this is omg ahahaha
