@wanyeburkett Violent rhetoric on Twitter is nothing new, and is equally if not more common in right wing circles. What’s the idea here exactly? That “ordinary liberal” Americans will be so shocked by leftists on Twitter glorifying violence that they’ll opt for the party of Donald Trump?

@mdasilva1563 @genomics_aj @DavidZavac How well a film is executed is pretty intertwined with enjoyment of the story imo. E.g., no matter how great a story is in theory, if the characters are poorly written or badly acted, it’s hard to care what happens to them in that story.

@beffjezos How’s the hyperloop coming along?

@Whoopsydaisye @StevenForsing @adorientem @seamus_coughlin Well, if that’s what you believe say it upfront so people don’t waste time arguing with you. Unfalsifiable supernatural beliefs have no place in politics.

@Whoopsydaisye @StevenForsing @adorientem @seamus_coughlin An embryo is not a person. It does not have a nervous system, it cannot think, or feel. It doesn’t even resemble a human. “Clump of cells” is 100% accurate. The only argument for valuing embryos is appeal to the existence of a “soul” - an appeal to the supernatural.

@WarWizardM @DefenderOfBasic From what I know, most researchers agree that what we would define as “language” is a human-specific ability. This shouldn’t be entirely surprising, given the scale and complexity of human cooperation in comparison to other species.

@WarWizardM @DefenderOfBasic The idea that animals communicate is not some novel idea in biology, and people do research it. Many scientists regularly interact with animals themselves after all. The question is not whether animals communicate, but how sophisticated/flexible this communication is.

@_djpn @StevenGlinert proving my point

@_djpn @StevenGlinert For one thing, half of these people are majorly overestimating their own intelligence, and the intelligence of people around them. I think that intelligence in these supposed “bubbles” is far more variable than these people believe.

[.... @ILikeDucks01]

@_djpn @StevenGlinert This is untrue. 85 is within a standard deviation of the average, and is considered very much in the normal range. The IQ-obsessed on this website have built up caricatures of what people with below-average IQ are actually like.

@Andrewnsnyder Does anyone else think this article sounds like it was written by ChatGPT? I mean that genuinely.

@Ian_Gay_briel @Quixotic3lixer @opinonhaver The quality of the data does vary by region tbf. Same applies to Google.

@ArturSmiarowski @tsoding Ever tried Bevy?

@Shieldlesscap @t_lattanzio @mountain_ghosts It can do the multiplication correctly. It’s just not encoding the problem correctly. I’m guessing that’s why literal digit length appears to be the limiting factor.

@omd_01 @nixcraft @FFmpeg Really, just from a TTY? What does that look like?

@MTdudestuff @alanlparker I guess the ethical question is more “what if stuff like this becomes more common?”. I don’t think it’s wrong to be cautious. E.g., if we normalise this, will people try to treat their dying spouse as well? Clearly good in this case however. Congrats to her.
