@craigcandor @ByJimbob @SpeedWatkins notes: gemini 3.1 pro seems to be the most precise to analyze the points (vs GLM 5, sonnet 4.6+, ~chatgpt), all still missed that order of discovery |/> order of justification on p2 on p3: concrete in the sense that God is causally efficacious (creator/sustainer of reality)

@craigcandor @ByJimbob @SpeedWatkins 1.your retorsion arg at best provides conceptual/psychological necessity 2.psychological/temporal priority != logical epistemic/metaphysical priority. you know sun (God) through sunlight (logic), but sun > sunlight 3.God is a necessary concrete personal being, no grounding needed

For morality to be non-arbitrary, it must be grounded in reason. A principle like "we shouldn't punish the innocent" doesn't need to be decreed. Morality isn't handed down by any individual authority; it's discovered through reason. Its general authority comes from reason itself.

@sol_roi @nnwakelam even the possibility of moral convergence presupposes the existence of common metaethics and for stability concioussness.But ask 10 people about their metaethics you will get 11 different answers.Given also the impossibility of concioussness you can never rely on llms for ethics

@nnwakelam Well, and that’s where it will go, until models become more “reliable” at processing ambiguous moral decisions. Which, I am not sure of until they are able to continuously learn, since that’s how human brains adapt to not being able to consume the entire world’s knowledge at once

What’s the functional difference between Anthropic letting the Pentagon use their LLM without restraints versus say western aligned infosec people developing exploit chains for the government/intelligence community?

I learned a bit about the history of statins over the past weekend. Interestingly, statins were first discovered in nature and then developed into medicines. There’s an article in which the scientist who discovered them in nature explains the history of cholesterol-lowering medicines, from nicotinic acid to estrogenic hormones to statins. It’s a fascinating read if you enjoy the topic. Curiously, statins and penicillin were both discovered in nature, in fungi of the Penicillium genus. 😲 The author and one of the discoverers of the statins, Prof. Akira Endo, passed away in 2024. The links to the article and an obituary in memoriam for Prof. Akira Endo are in the following post.

@ByJimbob @Halalcoholism At least he got the first part right. People dont understand evolution, or more precisely they *can't* understand it but that's because it's an unintelligible metaphysical stance. Correct diagnosis, wrong root cause analysis

@Halalcoholism That’s fallacious. You can’t defend the claims of evolution and this is a cope.

The main reason people don’t accept evolution is because they don’t understand it. The main reason they don’t understand it is because they don’t want to understand it.

@IceSolst @seanmeals typically a quick success presupposes 100 slow failures that's why a researcher needs to properly allocate his resources, but to do that he needs reliable bug bounty terms so time spent is irrelevant in this discussion, the question is whether they actually breached their terms

@seanmeals You got paid $20k for allegedly 5 hours of work and you’re bitterly complaining about it, uncouth behavior. Perhaps you just don’t enjoy this type of work.

@Dave93185813 @DrJackKruse needs a faithful atheist as well. an interesting article that refers to this issue: patristicfaith.com/philosophy/the…

@DrJackKruse Chaos only creates order when you're an atheist.

You do not understand Nature at all. Chaos creates order in Nature. So do me a favor, do not tag me on shit when you are the one who needs to read.

@vxunderground @IceSolst it's kind of a PoW to silence/discredit people who are timid. maybe we can call it PoB-proof of balls those labels are used often,eg conspracy theory,antivax,nazi,islamophobe,racist but agreed that speaking without reasonable (not total) level of knowledge in a topic is also bad

@vxunderground @IceSolst During the Soviet era, one could have also been called "antisemite" for criticising the holocaust of Orthodox Christians by the Bolshevik regime. That label doesnt make the criticism invalid it just increases the cost one has to pay to raise their voices

@ByJimbob @DrNeilStone he meant fiat not fight fiat science with fiater science

@DrNeilStone “Fight the flu with myocarditis”

Fight science with better science Fight nonsense with mockery.

@rvrsh3ll overall, if goal is to lose body fat, fasted in the morning+zone 2 exercise i would expect to have maximum effectiveness if peak performance is the goal, especially if the performance is tied to an activity requiring high-power output then fed-state in the afternoon

@rvrsh3ll Another interesting fact: muscle is much less energy-dense than fat. So what he says at the start doesn’t make sense. If the ladies were burning muscle, they’d lose more weight than if they used fat. They didn’t lose weight likely because they were eating too much.

I see too many going straight to the gym in the morning, right to the weights, or doing cardio on an empty stomach. "But it works for me" 😕

@HaifeiLi it's not a feature, it's a bug interesting talk on the topic: "nothing stops this train" by Lyn

I knew it!

@PPC4Liberty worrying is also the reference to Truman. Hopefully we wont see nukes, but this is now a possiblity I would also keep an eye on Vance, he is likely the main character of the next part. If that's the case at some point he will come out as anti-war to fill the vacuum of trump

@PPC4Liberty Yep, judging by the text from US ambassador to Israel they likely convinced him that he was chosen by God to do Israel's bidding (likely susceptible due to the judeochristian fallacy + his megalomania + unlikely but possibly epstein blackmail). x.com/WhiteHouse/sta…

@Brandon27614871 @hendrik_casimir @Ancient_Masc He died in the 1990s, the prophecies were in greek (that's likely why the search did yield any results) There are few books compiling his words, some references are made here: vimaorthodoxias.gr/didaxes-geront…

@hendrik_casimir @Ancient_Masc No source was provided. When searching for that exact sentence, I only found a refence to this post on X 🙄
