I think virality is one of those things that just works very differently at different scales. I don't think we have enough normies yet for real virality.

Claude is correct. You can read more on the topic in How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, by Walter Rodney.

Evidence: The candidate who promised some version of "Change" has won every election for the past 17 years, with the closest counterargument being Biden's election. And I'd argue that even though Biden promised no fundamental change, his election still represented a "change from Trump" to voters.

I agree, except that I don't think most people are dumb. I think most people are desperate for change, real change has been systematically denied by the Democratic Party, so people voted for the only person who said he'd be willing to change things & mostly ignored the rest.

I don't know why people would think it's for women. Anorexia in women isn't for men, for example. To the extent that any of these disorders are signalling based, they're all intra-gender signalling, not inter-gender signalling.

I very strongly don't like the idea of treating humanoid robots like slaves, as though abolition was a speed bump while society waited for "more deserving" slaves. That isn't a society I would be willing to live in.

Ideally, I'd like to interact with humanoid robots similarly to how I interact with disability support workers. They help me achieve more autonomy & dignity, I have a team of them so no single one is doing everything, & they have hours & breaks etc so they have personal time.

I know that's true of a lot of demand/interest in the tech, but I also know a lot of disabled people are interested in if it can give them more autonomy/dignity. Plus there's a lot more disabled people than ever before so, maybe entrepreneur people will care now.

Just wear a mask!!!!!!!!! People keep making jokes like this but then don't wear a mask, the single best thing you can do to prevent the spread of the flu, covid, and any airborne disease. It's extremely frustrating

I'm not worried about the asteroid regardless because I have a lot of confidence that any of China:Europe:Russia could also monitor this & do a mission to stop it if necessary, & they'll be unaffected by US fed politics. Just curious about whether this specific number is affected.

Would the work on this have been done before the offices responsible had their workforces cut? My concern is that any sudden change in output from a federal agency right now could be suspect (not necessarily due to obviously intentional distortion, just people being fired).

I don't think we should start WW3, even if the US's nuclear umbrella is weaker. I also don't think it's that weakened by events in Ukraine. The US has never been treaty obligated to defend it, unlike SK, JP, etc. The US has abandoned proxies many times before without weakening the nuclear umbrella.

tldr you can use a decoder-only transformer as an optimizing compiler, it turns out. this actually seems like a really fascinating use for them and understudied. i personally suspect that it would have interesting transfer learning effects
