@RichardHanania Surely you can see the incoherency of this argument you're presenting.
English
Wait, John Oliver actually ran a segment with the premise that “AI models don’t work well”?
Wasn’t this guy telling us to get on our knees and worship scientific experts when they said there were more than two genders?
Now when experts are building the most revolutionary technology of all time he stops believing them?
Matt Shumer@mattshumer_
People keep sending me this clip of @iamjohnoliver using my tweet as evidence that AI models don’t work well. Just to clear up any confusion, with respect, the tweet was a) taken way out of context and b) extremely outdated. The model in question (4o) is multiple generations old, and was shut down for being too sycophantic. Current models would not have behaved this way. It’s sort of like looking at a Nokia flip phone and saying “this isn’t useful”, when an iPhone exists. John, I’m a fan, and welcome any discussion here. Just want things to be accurate and not misleading!

@davidpdeavel @SarahLongwell25 Do you have any evidence of foul play or are you Just Asking Questions here? The opinion article from the Hill wasn't very illuminating, and it didn't really engage seriously with the outcomes (only reporting what was useful to their argument). For example, NY lost a House seat.
English
@fakechuck @SarahLongwell25 Sure. Nearly all the gains went to one side and all the losses to the other. Yes, pure coincidence.

The way MAGA blames Joe Biden for everything makes sense when you realize they’ve convinced themselves that Biden was President in 2020.
Paul Renner@Paul_Renner
Timely and appropriate. The Biden census in 2020 robbed Florida of critical congressional seats and our significant growth justifies the need for mid-decade maps.
English
@adub01488424 Lol, yeah, you're right. My feed is so littered with wacky sincerity that I'm getting worse at detecting the play.
English
Really curious as to who "we" is in this claim. I'd not heard even a discussion about the existence of a ballroom until last year.
Dylan Ratigan@DylanRatigan
Couldn’t agree more. We have been demanding a new ballroom for decades now. For the love of America people. Can we please have a ballroom. I’m not sure how we are functioning right now without our ballroom. I need more ballroom!
English
@davidpdeavel @SarahLongwell25 It's not really that strange. There are always census anomalies, and that's why the Census does follow-up comparison in these post-census analyses. The 2020 Census was especially difficult due to the, you know, global pandemic.
English
@fakechuck @SarahLongwell25 Strangely, there were statistically significant overcounts in Democratic states and undercounts in Republican states.

Why aren't you thinking of bending as a social technology that advances with history? This is how our own history works. Like there aren't counterexamples at all.
namnas@naMnaSYt
like this isnt something that any random person like a factory worker aka Mako should be able do the only reason the royal family of the Fire Nation could do it (save at least s2 Zuko) is because they're sucha powerful bloodline thats also trained from birth
English
Rules like this are fun because there is potential creative value when you break them. Today, speaking "properly" in every context requires doing some things that might have been classified as improper in grade school but are otherwise perfectly cromulent.
Joe Weisenthal@TheStalwart
Reading about linguistics has been really liberating. Ending sentences with prepositions will never again be something I’m concerned with. Turns out it’s totally made up, something arbitrary that only high school English teachers complain about.

Very salient point here, unfortunately. The US left is a lot more libertarian than collectivist, despite the braying of US conservatives.
the king of all Jasondom👑@the_ason
@StatisticUrban That's cause the "American left" is just anti-establishment types masquerading as progressives

@KnowingBetterYT @StatisticUrban American leftists have zero understanding of how culturally libertarian they are.
It's the water they swim in so they don't notice it.
Everywhere else is "Don't fucking smoke on the train you cunt" and "Yes, put the mentally ill person in a mental hospital".

@mskochin @ASFleischman @conor64 So if I say "wow I hope they get him next time", this qualifies to your standard.
English
@ASFleischman @conor64 Calling for or cheerleading unlawful violence against named persons or praising specific unlawful attacks and calling for them to be repeated.
English
When you consider your team *people who consistently favor free speech* rather than *team red critic of cancel culture* or *team blue critic of cancel culture* you don't have these problems.
Megyn Kelly@megynkelly
Demanding that the cancel culture brigade - whose absurd standards some of us have been fighting for years - at least be consistent in not ignoring those rules when it’s a republican who’s hurt is entirely morally consistent.
English
@DerGyros @daniel_271828 @ArtemisConsort Yeah the point is that weight is actually irrelevant here. It's all about the surface area to volume ratios.
English
@daniel_271828 @ArtemisConsort They actually do fall *slightly* faster if they're properly tied together due to less surface exposure
Gravity pulling the bricks down scales with r³ while air resistance scales with surface area, which increases with r²
English
I’m tired of the Aristotelian physics slander. Yes, heavier object fall faster than light ones, all else equal, *when immersed in a fluid* which is every environment Aristotle had access to. Do the experiment yourself. Drop a bowling ball and a same-sized ball of foam.
There’s a great paper called “Aristotle’s Physics: a Physicist’s Look” that demonstrates how Aristotelian physics is a special case approximation of Newtonian physics in the same way Newtonian physics is a special case approximation of relativity and QM.
Aristotle’s physics reigned for so long not because people were unthinkingly dogmatic, but because it was genuinely hard to come up with better models.
Aristotle had to model celestial objects separately from terrestrial objects because his terrestrial model is describing *terminal* velocity and breaks down in the zero-friction limit. So he had two incompatible models. Newton unified them. Now we have two incompatible models - QM and GR - and are looking for unification. The more things change…
Daily Roman Updates@UpdatingOnRome
Lmao.
English
@ArtemisConsort This has nothing to do with "heavier". It's surface area to volume ratios.

The republican pitch to voters in an election year dominated by the crushing costs of living in this country should be the urgent need for a new marble and gold ballroom for members of the American ruling class to have safer banquets
Acyn@Acyn
Graham on Ballroom: If you don't think $400 million of taxpayer money is a good investment to create a secure facility at The White House, then I disagree. I bet you 90% of Americans would love to have a better facility.

@MikeLaChance33 Unless the right is willing to do more than post angry posts on the internet I would not get my hope up on anything happening over this.

REMINDER: In 2014, a GOP staffer was forced to resign after criticizing what one of Obama's daughters was wearing.

@SarahLongwell25 It was changed and finally approved under Biden.
