Genital augmentation and the word "stubsack" in the same sentence is an awkward cocktail.

The killer bots are running on Apple platforms so programming them in Swift is the natural choice.

I think that's roughly the idea, except replace "desk" with "penis".

OTOH "mediocre dunces" is an amazing phrase and I will continue to refer to TREACLES as such.

[TODO (left in intentionally because I don't have time to fill in these details): Put more motivation / justification here: Bowling Alone stats, stats about religion making people happier, some reference about religion making people believe untrue things. Friendships formed by repeated random bumping into people, thus regular events important]

The fuck is this? Why are you publishing an article if you don't have the time to write an article, asshole? Who's enforcing a deadline for posting this drivel on less wrong dot com?

If these things are so superfluous they can be dropped from the article, drop them. At least take the few minutes to rewrite that into something like "I haven't had the time to look deeper into XYZ, maybe someone taking this more seriously should actually do that."

Imagine one day Dan Gackle of Hacker News fame banned the Linus Tech Tips guy for sockpuppeting but actually you were the sockpuppet. Also suppose Terry A. Davis were still alive so you went to ask him how to sockpuppet like a veteran, but instead you run into Timnit Gebru, who is also a terrorist. She calls you pronouns and slurs like TESCREAL and your pants drop to your ankles and everyone is laughing at you and also Terry calls you the N word because you don't know how to write a compiler. Then you turn around and see Scott Siskind and Joanne Rowling and they're also laughing at you and you start to cry.

Anyway you'd be really upset.

Ah, of course it's a joke. Should have realized that he'd never sincerely post a bizarre and incorrect take.

TA: You're asking the AI for the reason it decided to do something. That requires the AI to introspect on its own mental state. If we try that the naive way, the inferred function input will just say, 'As a compiler, I have no thoughts or feelings' for 900 words.

I wonder if he had the tiniest of a pause when including that line in this 3062 word logorrhea. Dude makes ClangPT++ diagnostics sound terse.

You might be comfortable using a single significant digit for any probabilities you pull out of your ass, but Yud 's methods are free of experimental error. He works using Aristotelian science, working stuff out from pure reason, which brought you bangers like "men have more teeth than women". In Yud's case, most of his ideas are unfalsifiable to begin with, so why not have seventeen nines' worth of certainty in them? Literally can't be false! Not even AWS would promise these kinds of SLAs!

No but what if it's actually divisible by Theta Prime?

Maybe this place needs a sister community SNEARCULT.

The linked post exemplifies the virtue of hazukashii, truly itai school hakushin-class yabai-style writing. In Japan they don't say "Rationalism" they say "クリンジ" and I think that's beautiful.
