@Wooferski1 @adam7867863 @cremieuxrecueil And yet, when you trace the family names of the great thinkers, they are overwhelmingly Persian, despite being a small minority of the population.

[James @JamesDunn9]

@adam7867863 @cremieuxrecueil I never said Persians made no progress. I said their progress had nothing to do with Islam.

@adam7867863 @cremieuxrecueil You’re not very good at following this conversation so I’m not going to waste my time on trolls

[James @JamesDunn9]

@adam7867863 @cremieuxrecueil Notice how it doesn’t cite a source. lol

[James @JamesDunn9]

@adam7867863 @cremieuxrecueil First of all, that chart is bogus. Greatly underestimates early accomplishments and exaggerates later accomplishments. To the extent that the trend was there, it was the fusion of knowledge from the Silk Road. Greek writers, Hindu numerals, Chinese paper, etc coming together

[James @JamesDunn9]

@Ray4iid @cremieuxrecueil Because none of the accomplishments had anything to do with Islam…

@athenaeumbc Get ready for a bunch of fish names and nautical terminology.

@PawelHuryn Although it looks like Claude is 5x the cost of ChatGPT so maybe it’s a wash.

@paulg The state dept puts Honduras at level 3 (reconsider travel), not level 4 (do not travel). Seems like at a minimum asylum would require a level 4.

@dzhng @typesafeai Most important sentence from evals/results/relevance-threshold-2026-09-27.md

"Jev is excluded from scored cost and tokens. Observed Jev API metadata totals at least $1.570651236 for this cohort; the complete Jev charge is unknown."

So the actual savings is ~8%, not 40%.

@Noahpinion D. AI continues the Industrial Revolution and advances humanity by leaps and bounds.

[James @JamesDunn9]

@Noahpinion Would have been more convincing if some historian predicted this as a necessary requirement and then found the tree rings instead of making up a story after the fact.

@shinboson It’s walking wrong. Insects have three legs on the ground (forming a triangle) at all times and move the other three.

@wil_da_beast630 Do you think there is a realistic path where the US has the same crime rate as Tokyo? Seems like genes have to explain some of that gap.

[James @JamesDunn9]

@pmddomingos He doesn’t trust them to use nvidia chips. OpenAI released their new chip specs and Jensen jumped on hugging face.

[James @JamesDunn9]

@spiderwebsoft Question is incorrectly phrased. They meant something like, “we took all the families in the country and filtered out the ones that didn’t have at least one son born on a Tuesday. What are the odds the second child is a boy?”

As stated the Tuesday part is irrelevant.

[James @JamesDunn9]

@wil_da_beast630 Is Mexico (the top source of immigrants) even on there?
