@usr_bin_roygbiv @Duderichy I mean, I'm sure some teams suck. I think I climb with someone on this lasers team specifically tho, and he seems like he's doing ok, but I don't know him as well as some other people. Into mountaineering and stuff. Gets most weekends. Has a gf.

@simple_mcmc @Duderichy ok. that was not my experience and not what I was told
English
@usr_bin_roygbiv @Duderichy thats not true, my friends who work there have plenty of hobbies and broadly interesting lives outside of work.
English
@Duderichy I got to final round in 2023 and didn't take it because it's straight up a cult. You really gotta be drinking the koolaid 24/7 and have zero life outside of work
English
@shakoistsLog I mean, people mostly dog on the specifics, right? if he just said "If I dont eat I get really hungry and cant focus" I don't think people would really care as much. It's the implausible stuff about lipolysis that had people jumping on him, I think.

@literalbanana @lu_sichu the sense I got is that summer / masters / early phd students were pushed pretty hard towards psychometric outcomes, but postdocs / late phds had more leeway. physiological experiments just require a lot more work. people don't want to get pricked etc.
English
@literalbanana @lu_sichu even in the lab I guinea pigged for they seemed to do at least a bit of more real feeling research. stuff like "does ketone supplementation impact glucose levels". you could still do something nefarious there but it seems harder.

my sister ended up doing some summer research work at a lab like this. they were nominally in the kinesiology department, but the PI had discovered that, following a manipulation, it was much easier to get a significant result if the "task" was a battery of psychometric tests.

I think we should be much more skeptical of all studies that take this form

@BarneyFlames @punished_daniel theres a big persian diaspora in the toronto suburbs, knew some of them growing up. dont know if they have a specific enclave tho, seemed more spread out than other groups. neighbourhood was mostly russian-jewish and chinese.

@punished_daniel Canada is just a series of ethnic enclaves, no ?

@JerusalemDemsas there is something like carcinization where everyone illiberal becomes maoist in the end

Nic was a fellow on the Obama 2012 campaign with me when I was in high school.
Man, the 2010s really cooked some people's brains.

If a top AI CEO in China told the CCP to go kick rocks when they asked for help, that CEO would be instantly sent to prison. This is the correct approach Letting AI CEOs play politics and dictate policy for the military and soon the entire country like their own personal fiefdoms is appalling and undemocratic If Trump doesnt bring Dario to heel now, we will simply end up completely subjugated by him and his lunatic EA buddies

@kipperrii has anyone figured out why the canadian tech scene is so bad. seems like it shouldnt have ended up this way.

@tolstoybb I was in the north cascades over the summer and I stopped at a coffee shack that randomly carried a bunch of those types of magazines but targeted specifically at gold prospecting, skeezy ads and all. I think they're still publishing– looked pretty recent. real nostalgia hit.
English
@tolstoybb someone gave me a bunch of old popular mechanics magazines as a kid and all the ads were for incredibly greasy companies selling "scientifically validated pheromones", gold and silver in preparation of the economic collapse, and yeah, lots of "learn x for easy money".
English
This is actually what all the stories in interwar pulp mags were like. A little more literate, sure, but the same general direction. They even had crypto/AI type scam ads for “learning radio” to become financially independent.

There is still a healthy market for pulp fiction for young men but the titles are things like I Got Sucked Out of Math Class Through a Portal and Now I Have to Fight This Level 90 Wizard With My Elf Girl Harem.
