@kitten_beloved You're listing these as if they're AND, but 1. and 2. are not required unless we have a given assumption that we won't develop other architectural models, which is...a weird thing to take as a given. And 3. is obviously overstated: "inevitable" can be replaced with "probable".

@BossDuffi @darkpixel2k @MorlockP And ~18,000 Calories? Not insane for 2.5 days, but pretty high.

@a_real_society Not great, but I'm honor bound to post to address the selection bias. I think I did better last go-round. 🟩 🟩🟩 🟩🟥🟩 🟧🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟥🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟧🟩🟧 Percentile: 97.99

@sgodofsk Brains are useful for tanning hides, but I guess we probably don't do that at an industrial level.

@coloneldraught @goblinodds Is "I'll give you money for food, but not for drugs" not support? Because it's obviously conditional.

@Andr3jH @growing_daniel Seems unlikely. Why would gaming journalist be so much better than the rest of journalism?

@Noahpinion We've got a lot of problems right now, but a 1.5 billion people have been lifted out of poverty since then, so... (Oh, 2000s as a whole....only 0.5 billion lifted out of poverty since 2010. nbd, then.)

Google Discover recently started showing me stuff from nasdaq . com and...it's a weird scammy clickbait news source? Really surprising.

@jbella @Austen Between his two terms combined, or this term beating his previous term? The former is basically a given (Austen's bizarre prediction notwithstanding). He got to 87% of Obama's 8 years in just his first term. Hopefully we won't get a pandemic, but we're still not looking good.

@notacrankychef @mattyglesias @Austen Betting something will happen and rooting something will happen are different things. I regularly bet on things I hope don't happen. Things I try to prevent.

@cgaunerd @mattyglesias @Austen @Kalshi Based on the proposed tax cuts, looks like the majority are betting the deficit goes *up*.

@bitcoin_opt_in @paulnovosad If you found out the deficit was about $35 trillion less than that, or that the growth of the debt was less than half that much), would you change your mind about the sustainability?

A bunch of professionals journalists read this statistic *and believed it*? The NYT fact checkers saw "the average American uses 1.5 straws per day" and said "sure, why not?" Some day America will have competent journalistic outlets. Some day?

@bendreyfuss It's a good thing he's only the one with agency, or his family might be the ones killed.

@PierreGBlanchet @paulg $CRSP

@sullyj3 @mechanical_monk "data" vs "datum" was always an "well, actually 🤓" distinction—you only used "datum" if you were pedantic or had a pedant correct you. "Phenomenon" is (was?) (more) normal than the plural. People defaulted to it.

@PierreGBlanchet @paulg Seems I bought a little at $22 in 2018. Wish I'd sold at the $165 peak. Still up a little, but just gonna keep HODLing.

@Utah_Grump @sam_d_1995 That directly contradicts the numbers in the article. Absolute numbers of reported transit crimes: * Jan 2024: 231 * Jan 2025: 147

@RyanMorey @sam_d_1995 The article shows an absolute number drop in reported transit crimes (Jan 2024: 231; Jan 2025: 147)
