Now working on some programming language and structured editor ideas.

Since someone asked, a not-so-brief thread on my dream project: a 3-pronged plan to solve the end-user programming problem, closing the gap between creating vs using software.

People who “know how to code” can get computers to do basically anything computers are capable of, but

@MichelBrewer @catpoopburglar @realtordotcom They inherited a $2M property, their generational wealth is just fine. You’re whining that these now millionaires didn’t get $48k more than they already got.

@RobotsWon @aquilaqua @TrueSlazac Might want to check a dictionary for what “always” means.

If the statement “trade is always exploitative of poor countries” is true, then it necessarily does not matter who is doing the trading and how and why they are doing it.

@davidgaw @StatisticUrban Great, if that’s what everyone will choose then let’s get rid of laws banning other options

@TheStalwart @ArthurB A fake iris *scan* sounds pretty easy tho?

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@TheStalwart Would you believe an anon online owned a house just bc they sent you a photo of a house? Why would an iris be different?

@weswinham @lilienfeld1 @johnarnold The one that lost 84% of its revenue and had 6 global outages in one year after Musk took over?

@CameronCorduroy Unfortunately, yes there are:

People definitely want to live in Texas, the fastest-growing state, yet housing there remains much more affordable

@OrlandoJoe621 @billybinion Wrong, we were in the midst of a manufacturing boom before:

Economists universally evaluate that the economy is heading in a significantly worse direction than before:

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

In just three months, with no external shocks, economic forecasters have gone from predicting that the U.S. economy would continue to deliver ongoing growth, to predicting a quite weak (and possibly recessionary) economy.

New treatments should obviously be tested against placebo only if there’s no existing treatment, otherwise they should be tested against the current gold standard, not against placebo

It’s obvs unethical to take the current treatment AWAY from ppl just to test the new treatment

[Calley Means @calleymeans]

Can someone please explain to me why "health experts" would be alarmed at conducting science on new drugs?

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@IsaacKing314 @thewreathwright Yes, I think if people who were A/B tested then criticize the A/B test, it would also be inaccurate to describe them as a “random social media mob”

And I think my explanation why they’re not “random” was substantively relevant and objectively accurate, not emotionally loaded

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@Apis_Bicornis @shinboson guy who doesn’t know the difference between evidence and an argument

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@IsaacKing314 @thewreathwright Could you clarify what you think lacks a consistent principle and what emotionally loaded language you’re referring to? I had no idea what that was referring to in this discussion

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@IsaacKing314 @thewreathwright Sorry, did you mean to reply to a different comment?

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@IsaacKing314 @thewreathwright Also are you gonna comment on whether you still consider the r/CMV community, which were the unconsenting direct subjects of experimentation, to be a “random social media mob”?

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@IsaacKing314 @thewreathwright Well, informed consent doesn’t preclude double-blinding. OpenAI just recently conducted a very similar study with informed consent, as noted by the r/CMV mods: https://t.co/EB1trmzaLW

Did you read the r/CMV mods’ post? Like how the study differed from what was IRB approved?

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@jtbooth1021 @mroe1492 @IsaacKing314 @thewreathwright Update, what the university is now saying IRB told the researchers:

[Han Seoul-Oh @laughinghan]

@jtbooth1021 @mroe1492 @IsaacKing314 @thewreathwright not only is it not explicitly forbidden by r/CMV rules, it’s actually against the rules to accuse anyone else of lying!

I think spraying r/CMV with personalized emotionally manipulative lies would be looked at differently by IRB, and by the CMV community and the public, too.

@AurumHunter @big_pedestrian @feistymajority This is a lie. There isn’t a single J6er who was found in court to have been entrapped or whom the FBI says they entrapped
