@ProjectLiberal Everyone knows that true leftism is when you hang immigrants and working families out to dry so you can enrich wealthy property owners. Marx spoke on this

🚨 OUTRAGEOUS: Connie Chan is running for Congress on an explicitly NIMBY platform.
This is the exact opposite of what we need right now.

@MaxGhenis @mackenziescott so... it's one of the most staggeringly immense blown opportunities in all of human history

I built an interactive model from her own gift database: ~70,000 QALYs weighting each study by causal credibility, ~200,000 taking every effect at face value.

@IsaacKing314 I’m fascinated by this idea that the recline button is a social test designed to entrap the wicked rather than a normal feature of the aircraft x.com/w01101010/stat…

@NewYorker People who recline their seats are making an already difficult situation even more horrible. They are evil and should be banned from flying.

Reclining doesn't bother the person behind you if they are reclining too, but it's unfair if they're not. So, each seat should come with a vote button. If more than half of the people in one column vote to recline, the whole column reclines.

On August 24, 2014, James Beach, a six-foot-one businessman from Denver, was returning from Moscow when he deployed the Knee Defender—“a $22 gadget,” the Associated Press reported, “that attaches to a passenger’s tray table and prevents the person in front from reclining.” The woman in front of him, unable to lean back, flagged a flight attendant. From there, events spiralled. Beach removed the Knee Defender, but then became upset when the woman reclined forcefully, risking damage to his computer. He confronted her, pushed her seat forward, and tried to reinstall his device, at which point, he said, she turned around and threw her soda at him. The plane was diverted to Chicago, where it was met by police, and news coverage of the event led to conversations about reclining one’s airplane seat. “The bottom line is that reclining is a social act in an environment of social stress. It involves deciding whether to inflict your will on someone else, and enduring or resisting the effects of someone else’s decision,” Joshua Rothman writes.

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

@aphysicist @sama Sort of, but I think it’s just human nature to be more averse to losing what you have when the reward for taking a risk seems uncertain. Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, etc.

so far at least, i'm pretty sure AI has been net job-creating.
this was not what i expected--although i was much less pessimistic than others, i thought by this level of capability we'd have seen some impact.
it is possible this direction keeps going!

GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 try to read “handwriting,” but it’s actually just meaningless scribbles I drew on my phone with my eyes closed.
Sol seems to reliably hallucinate an answer. Fable admits it can’t read it, or even pushes back and says it’s not actually writing.

no matter how smart models get, the same kind of gap that has existed for 20+ years with people who can google something effectively will still exist with prompting models

@aphysicist @sama Because one side of the equation is completely invisible until we actually reach it. We can’t envision the jobs that don’t exist yet, so it’s hard to believe that not only will they exist but they’ll dwarf jobs lost

@BecomingCritter Wait “goblinoid” is derogatory? I thought it was a straightforward way to describe how bugbears are similar to goblins etc
