I was actually acutely aware of the fact that someday people would be nostalgic for the time I was living in, because I watched BTTF2 and saw that in 2015 there would be a Cafe 80s.

When I was a teenager looking for a popsci book about genetics, the most recommended books were by James Watson, Richard Dawkins, and Matt Ridley. What a terrible group of individuals.

Drosophyllum lusitanicum, the Portuguese sundew pine, is one of the most unusual plants of our flora.

A carnivorous plant, its leaves are covered with sticky glands that trap small insects.

This strategy allows it to live in nutrient-poor Mediterranean sandy soils. Rare and localized in Portugal.

The binary thinking of some people really drove me halfway insane. "There's already a genocide so how could it be worse!?!" A genocide that kills twice as many people? Two genocides? It can almost always get worse! 100,000 deaths is a terrible tragedy! 10 Million is much worse!

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Hopefully we can lay this one to rest. If 19 ppg Bam Adebayo can score 83, then surely 50 ppg Wilt Chamberlain can score 100.

That was my take on it, but I don't see other people saying that, so maybe we're just being pessimists.

My reading was that the child being tortured doesn't actually do anything, but I've learned that a lot of people disagree.

I’m not sure what the best metaethical stance is for human beings, but LLMs definitely seem to do best with virtue ethics.

Does modeling behavior for LLMs demonstrate the superiority of virtue ethics to other schools of metaethics?

Fascinating!

I don't think that they bombed a school so that they could blame Claude. I want to be clear that I'm not suggesting that. I do find it interesting, though, that when they bombed a school, they blamed it on Claude and it was just days after publicly stating their intention to destroy Anthropic.

I've been thinking about this, and my recent experience was in line with it. I recently got better information on tissue culture protocols than I have seen in any book or paper. The information is obviously out there already, but the eldritch book demon gave me exactly what I wanted when prompted.

A lot of left-libertarian millennials searching for the approval of republican parents who were crashing out over a black President.

It is good, actually, that the person they're bringing on to run this site actually likes the site a whole lot more than the person who he's replacing in the roll did.
