When you supported Bernie Sanders despite his votes to indemnify gun manufacturers and bring big F-35 dollars to Vermont, were you supporting "the lesser of two evils"?

It's always illuminating to see who adopts Republicans' stupid adjectival "Democrat" epithet.

Fuck every last one of the "Trump isn't meaningfully different from Biden/Harris in terms of Middle East foreign policy" shitstains who brought us here.

Do you mean the part where you claim compromises you like are fine and compromises you don't like are *SURRENDER*!!!i!i!? Still unprincipled, histrionic bullshit.

Compromise is necessary and fine when you do it, but unacceptable when Democrats do it? How convenient, you unprincipled hack.

You compromise your beliefs when you support someone you don't fully agree with.

You are unprincipled. You engage in infantile moralizing, but refuse to live by the standards you set for everyone else. The same compromises you justify for yourself, you decry in others.

Name a politician whose positions you agree with fully. "Lesser of two evils" is insipid bullshit spouted by people unwilling to admit that real world, adult choices involve compromise.

AlphaFold 3, which uses both diffusion and transformer models, solved protein folding. Does that count as a use case?

They quoted her saying they didn't include that detail as bait to see if LLMs would hallucinate it (the detail in question is what LLM they had students use: ChatGPT-4o), but it did appear in the paper. Did the researcher hallucinate this bait? She's been asked about it but has not responded yet.

TAH admires the brazenness with which Trump lied. This is his great insight: good politicians lie well and often. Online leftists have swallowed whole conservatives' cynicism about politics and politicians.

This is very funny. Turns out the researcher hallucinated one of the LLM traps she thought had been set in the paper.

Here's Oliver Willis in 2006 being the same fucking idiot he continues to be, hoping and praying for a Democratic loss to teach them a lesson. Maybe in another twenty years he'll have a second idea. www.dailykos.com/story/2006/9...

I've been on dkos since 2005, user id in the 60,000s. Oliver Willis is wrong, and he's been pulling this shit for years. Fuck his "don't punch left" impotent whining.

"People are openly disagreeing with my public post in this public forum. QED libs" So fucking soft.

These soft motherfuckers find annoying fundraising requests and snarky Bluesky posts too much to bear ("harassed within an inch of [their] lives," the poor babies!) They betray their inability to meet the moment at every turn.

I appreciate your concern for how I spend my time. Are you moving on to other objections because you're conceding the points I made, or is this just a lazy attempt at a Gish gallop?
comment in response to
post
I find this objection bizarre. Nothing is stopping you from continuing to work and learn as you prefer. If others find LLMs useful, why does it bother so many of you? Are we running out of people who know how to think properly, or is this just another reactionary moral panic about new technology?

His main criticism seems to be that chatgpt didn't warn him that learning all of Calculus I in two weeks is an unrealistic goal. Here's how Gemini responds when you ask it the question he actually wanted answered: g.co/gemini/share...

using a forest's worth of pencils and paper to perform endless divisions, is somehow more honorable than using computers to find and verify it?

Wait, this cog sci "expert" thinks using tools to reduce "human cognitive effort" is a bad thing? Does he look down on anyone who uses TurboTax instead of doing their taxes by hand, researching each field in IRS publications? Does he think spending a lifetime figuring out the next Mersenne prime,

The comments are wild. I particularly like the MAGA "Christians" who've decided accusations of pedophilia are unseemly and that this is a private matter best settled out of the public eye.

That you honestly think Harris lost because she campaigned with Liz Cheney is yet another reason why no one should ever listen to you. The only people clutching their pearls over a bog standard campaign move ("here's a member of the other party who endorses me!") are you histrionic dorks.

It's a disgrace that the gap isn't larger. That the average for all women is only slightly above non-college educated men means we have a lot of work still to do until women are paid fairly. And if we men are unhappy with our wages, the correct target of our ire is employers.

For all that humanities folks on here correctly point out that people in tech need better arts and humanities education, so many of them confidently opine on technology they fundamentally do not understand.

Musk and his fans worry about the far future both because they're broken misanthropes who hate actual, currently living people and because they are incapable of solving the problems we face today. Easier to justify their nonsense to themselves by pretending they're helping people they'll never meet.
