Does that represent the 🤏 (pinching fingers or "tiny") hand gesture that makes some Korean men really mad?

Woman good at science? Must have a man brain. Send tweet.

Oops forgot to be weird about jews lemme amend that white jews can also be smart even if they have girl brains.

How briefly do you have to attend college to still be this clueless about how citations work?

It's a logarithmic plot to begin with and they still feel the need to make the curve exponential lol.

I'm sure they have a rigorous and objective metric for what coding tasks take how long at what success rate for humans.

Yea good luck, I am a mediocre white man and the providence didn't even grant me the confidence.

Actually the emperor's clothes look amazing if you're smart enough to see them.

My "Will not confirm or deny whether involved in human trafficking" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

I have never experienced semantic satiation immediately after encountering a word for the first time in my life, but the word "glomarize" somehow made it happen.

indefensible: voting for laws
sensible: gambling for laws

DEEZ nuts!

Ziz is nuts.

I was about to ask, in what way are you a former member of the rationality community who has invested a lot, whatever that means?

Ah, the site requires me to agree to "Data processing by advertising providers including personalised advertising with profilingConsent" and that this is "required for free use". A blatant GDPR violation, love-lyy!

"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with GEMA."

"What about side by side with a friend?"

"Lol good one get fucked."

Seems weird to try to attack from the angle that the model constitutes a copy rather than a derivative work. I'm sure Getty's lawyers have their reasons why they didn't try that route instead, but I'd be quite interested in seeing whether machine learning models trained on copyrighted data should be considered similarly to something like a piece of music sampling another piece (which my non-lawyer intuition says they should).

3D-knitted, or "knitted" for short.

Fucking sucks. Why bother gutting a law that's barely even enforced? Just bootlicking American tech giants for the sheer love of the game at this point.

What does it tell about a scientist that they see a wide world of mysteries to dive into and the research topic they pick is "are we maybe missing out on a way we could justify discriminating against people for their innate characteristics?"

"For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing" fuck off no one is this naive.

Just a heads-up, I tried reading up on Iocaine and the project website is giving me the madlibs nonsense version on my phone's browser, so I hope the version you're planning to enable here isn't quite as aggressive (the making.awful link is currently working for me).

Between this and Cloudflare's geolocation provider no longer saying my IPv6 address block is in Russia, I'm hopeful that my browsing experience might ever so slightly improve for a bit.

"What if we figure out DNA well enough that we could edit a babby to grow NAND gate cells and put a calculator inside their body so they can do instant arithmetic like a computer?"

I assume he's talking about that kind of stuff, but being vague so you can't call him out if he gets details wrong.
