@DNP_ESQ @EverythingOdds @JamieSFF @number_pizza111 This is a fact. You can only really argue that Harvard, Princeton, and Yale are consistently better. But they are more like the same tier.

@OldWorldOrdered @Disgruntledmil4 @TirahAtt @CMaster1980 @MarioNawfal Study x supports a conclusion. People that disagree with that conclusion argue that the statistical techniques used in that study were incorrect and other stats should have been used.

Is he right? This is what scientists argue about. An audience couldn’t follow it.

@ESYudkowsky @PTetlock Wait, did you test it?

@Keith_Wasserman @paulg No one wants to be on the top of that list.

@paulg @reiver Thanks but I doubt that. Graham is claiming a reasonable heuristic. I’m simply pointing out that the heuristic might filter out people on the extreme tail of the curve. I think his point is reasonable. Just adding a small using a kind of reductio to Scott.

[NA @NA19900840]

@paulg @reiver CONSIDER Scott’s SSC “Khomogrove complicity”. What you’re saying also filters intelligent contrarians. It’s a heuristic that can filter @ the tails. Filter for conspiracy theorists sure, but a filter for intelligent original thinking contrarians.

@CurlOfGradient I call this lore based cryptography. People think it's clever but that's it. I think that it could work but it would be a massive project.

[NA @NA19900840]

@CurlOfGradient I could express any set of numbers by making vague references to this lore based schema. I could express any number an unlimited amount of ways, even using the same references in such a way that they will seem like non-sensical poetry.

[NA @NA19900840]

@CurlOfGradient For this to work you would need some deep schema that only the people with the code know. Vague seemingly nonsensical references would have to make sense.

I've only seen this with deep talmudic study. But it proves the principle.

@truth_tesla @fishcatut @garyblack00 What date do they release the numbers.

@chetfaliszek @Jason @tiktok_us Ya, but what do you do when a country wants access to your social media markets, when they don't allow your social media to operate there? They have to reciprocate, it's not a free market unless it goes both ways.

@DocJohnG @sapinker He's long said that his biggest regret was that he didn't protect his identity when he started the blog. He couldn't have predicted what it would become.

Also, he didn't expect death threats.

@DocJohnG @TheBaro26682644 @JohnFatherJohn @sapinker Yup, you can find it if you look. But it's not presented in the times.

@brunosauce Sorry, long lost student here. What was the name of the box where they put pigeons in a box and gave them food at consistent intervals... and eventually the birds developed elaborate rituals thinking that whatever they randomly did before was the cause for the food.

Box name?

@tablatronix How did you do this? What strip did you use?
