Is there an analog of someone promoting their product by warning that even with them in charge, it might kill everyone?
Edison said his rival's tech was dangerous.
Atomic scientists, maybe, post Hiroshima?
Which investors is that supposed to attract?

Wonder why Hegseth fired senior staffers at Stars and Stripes? It’s because of reporting like this:

“Nearly six months after the U.S. Navy evacuated 1,300 family members from Bahrain at the start of the Iran war, officials are saying the evacuees cannot return for the foreseeable future and should find new homes elsewhere. The evacuation has left families in limbo and forced military officials to improvise solutions for support programs that were never designed to sustain a displacement lasting this long. Some evacuees say they have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for basic living expenses. Others are sleeping on the floors of temporary housing, while their cars and furniture are stranded in Bahrain or aboard ships unable to leave the region.”

My brother has high cholesterol and his doctor not only refused to order an LP(a) test, but also said "statins don't get to the root of the problem."
A friend just told me that her doctor told her to cut back on shrimp to lower her cholesterol.

Trust your AI, not a doctor.

told my doctor that i’ve been managing my fever with low-dose ibuprofen and she was like “you have to take a full dose.”

and when i asked why she was like “it will do more harm than good if you don’t take a full dose” like i was talking about antibiotics or something lmao

@danpfeiffer Consider, then, that perhaps these statements might be neither a pitch to investors nor a policy gambit, but a secret third kind of communication humans sometimes perform known as "actually saying things you believe because you think they are important".

[Clay / 康可磊 @ClayCampaigne]

@jackinwarsaw @Meaningness And the idea that it’s merely swapping synonyms into the same text was an expository simplification. Once you swap a word, it’s going to change the distribution going forward, and the process adapts. Nobody actually believes that there’s only one good way to convey a thought.

I am begging sensitive young men not to make decisions about women and family based on the bottom-of-the-barrel gender war ragebait that if blasted in everyone's faces 24/7 barely makes eks dot com profitable to advertisers in a free market.

Alfalfa uses like half the water from the Colorado River for like 0.1% of the economic benefit. To a first approximation it literally just wouldn't matter if we just stopped growing alfalfa forever.

It's only viable because farmers don't pay market rate for water.

“Mere overlap of sentences” is a fair description of Claudine Gay IIRC: lifted boilerplate from methods and lit review sections, rather than stealing ideas. That can be fairly innocuous. Not sure if that describes Arday’s case.

Why Are Academics Falsely Claiming Plagiarism Can’t Be the ‘Mere Overlap Of Sentences’ In the Wake of Jason Arday’s Death?

“Plagiarism is not using the same phrase that somebody else has used in a previous article,” Sean Wallis, a professor at University College London claimed this week—contradicting his own university.

@binarybits On this view, doomers who reject anti-data center NIMBYism are like economists who hate every solution to climate change that’s not a targeted carbon tax (which was me, in grad school)

if academics went to therapy, they might realize that "you cannot expose someone's wrongdoing if it might lead to them committing suicide" is textbook abuser rhetoric

[Clay / 康可磊 @ClayCampaigne]

@ben_golub I think the “honest synthesis” is that the academic training and basic science (deep RL etc) largely comes out of the academy, but the core research institutions that develop finished products are industry labs bc of the investment requirements of scaling

[Clay / 康可磊 @ClayCampaigne]

@Tyler_Menzer @Noahpinion @ben_golub Right. The investment requirements in the scaling era of deep learning, peaking with LLMs, made academic institutions much less relevant. It was mostly PHDs working in industry labs.
