“an undertaking of great advantage, but nobody to know what it is.”
Nah, Anthropic got an injunction against the “supply-chain risk” designation the other day, and I don’t think Team Trump-Hegseth has enough mental endurance to remember going after them.
Yeah it’s tragic, but I think it can be “explained” in that incorrect idea that measles isn’t that bad, really, and it was “natural” to get it. I don’t know the exact lethality differences between the diseases in question - just that for an otherwise healthy 20 year old university student, being forced to stay at home because of a disease mostly killing octogenarians is easier to protest against than something that’s killing you and your fellow ravers.
6·5 days agoRemember when Scott A was so mad his name was in the NYT he wilded out and got half of HN to cancel their subs? Those were good times, when I wasn’t jumpscared by his pasty face on random websites.
As a counterpoint, there’s a local outbreak of meningitis in Kent (UK) and panicked kids are lining up for vaccinations there.
COVID mostly hit the invisible elderly. It’s hard to imagine what would have happened if kids 0-6 were the most vulnerable.
Depriving the steel beams of oxygen would help too…

Listen to this pitch:
the vast majority of the book is devoted to discussing every single technical aspect in excruciating well-researched detail. you don’t simply have a paragraph about them deciding to buy guns, you get an entire chapter of different gun experts arguing back and forth about exactly which gun to buy based on maintainability, range, differences between civilian and military models, semi automatic vs fully automatic.
Apparently they’re quite unaware of the extensive number of works in Russian with similar themes:

maybe someone with a camera in SF can pop downtown and document this gathering
apply exposure comp b/c everyone will be pasty white
Rats: our ideals are universal and rooted in pure reason, discoverable through intense study and thought
Also rats: only males have the brains to understand this.
EA as a whole are apologetics for eugenicist billionaires, so them not giving a shit about what eugenicist billionaires don’t care about is just goal-fitting behavior.
I think it’s a specific genre of reportage where you objectively[1] report what you observe and let the reader draw their own conclusions.
[1] problematic term, engage!
“Judges love this one weird trick!”
Come now, we all want to be the Rat’s Enemy #1, and are secretly mad you got the top spot.
Don’t knock scaffolding, at least it has everyday uses.
Computer-Numerical Control controlled Consensual-Non-Consensual sex, for max brain damage
cue a thriller where a disgraced techbro billionaire is hunted by the surveillance system he gleefully created
scratch that, that will be a popular reality TV show enjoyed by millions
but but but blockchain
On this most terrible of online days, “enjoy” this LW attempt at humor
