There aren’t any, thats the point I’m making. Petitions produce sample bias that excludes the opinions of people who don’t want their legal name and home address printed on a document that might get passed around God-knows-where.

Information on Personal Data:
To sign, you must provide a set of personal data, which is required by the authorities of your country for verification purposes. Specific measures are in place to ensure the protection of your data. See our privacy statement.
Perhaps if signing a petition didn’t require doxxing yourself then more people would sign.
I realize that it’s to prevent fake signatures and allow verification that the signatories are residents of the jurisdiction under petition, but this method inherently creates a sampling bias.
In the same vein as age verification, we need a solution for digital attestation that preserves anonymity and privacy. There are some initiatives in this direction, so perhaps we will get there some day.

- Comment on Society may have overestimated risk of the ‘manosphere’, UK researchers say 3 weeks ago:
“Many of the participants expressed a strong commitment to equal treatment and fairness. They showed particular sensitivity to situations they perceived as unjust or discriminatory. This extended to issues specifically concerning men.”
No shit.
It comes after rising violence against women and girls (VAWG) in England and Wales. Data published by the National Police Chiefs’ Council in July 2024 found that about 3,000 VAWG offences a day were recorded by the police in 2022-23, an increase of 37% since 2018, with one in every 12 women a victim each year.
Separate expert studies have found some evidence that the language of the manosphere can escalate into physical violence. A submission to parliament by a group of UK academics cited cases in which incels had gone on to commit offline acts of violence, including Elliot Rodger in Isla Vista, California, in 2014 and Jake Davison in Plymouth, England, in 2021.
The Ofcom study involved 38 men, and more misogynistic men may have declined to take part. Some potential recruits refused to take part, considering the government-appointed regulator to be part of the “mainstream”. Perhaps the most impressionable group, boys under 16, were also not included.
Oh so this study is completely worthless then.

Tell you what, Dr. Vince Kellen, Chief Information Officer at the University of California San Diego, why don’t we start with automating your job with agentic AI so that you can focus on these “exquisite” attacks instead and we’ll see how well that goes.

Savage : The Battle of Newerth - SavageXR
This was such a great RTS/FPS hybrid at the time. I looked for RTS/FPS games a couple of years ago when I remembered it, and the genre is all but dead. I did spend a lot of time playing Silica though, which is still in early access. I haven’t checked in on that in a while now though.
- Comment on Amazing Fact of the Day 1 month ago:
It’s a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, because the Spectrum and C64 were general purpose computing devices that ran a single program at once, whereas the 5090 is not designed to be a general purpose computer, but a massively parallel acceleration card with a pipeline designed primarily for 3D graphics rendering.
A better comparison would be to a modern general purpose computing device, like a smartphone or desktop PC.

- Comment on Google shares slump as Apple exec calls AI the new search 1 month ago:
It was better than AltaVista, Yahoo!, Lycos, Tripod, Ask Jeeves, MetaCrawler et al. at the time when it gained its popularity.
Its main advantage was that they focussed on speed. You didn’t have to load a “homepage” with news articles and link directories (as all the other search engines had become) before you could type your search query. It was just a logo and a text input box.
The search index even at the beginning was pretty comprehensive too.
Google jumped the shark a long time ago though, around when they started putting ads on equal footing with the search results, and boosting their Shopping links.
