- Comment on Blow up fossil fuel infrastructure 2 weeks ago:
Honestly can’t tell which one is which. Most manifesto’s don’t do anything but social-signalling; and neither does the average climate report…
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Wish we’d do this to academics more often. Give them enough to live on, no responsibilities, and beat anyone who tries to socialize with them with a big stick.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
This is what you can expect from a mathematician. Always ahead of the curve.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
They’re welcome to lie with the numbers! But then I can at least reason about it. Right now, we’re looking at some cherry-picked end points and ignoring the proposed numerics entirely.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
Note that cheaper self-checkout means more demand for it (and less demand for cashiers). So we’ll have fewer jobs, and worse service for those who can’t (for w/e reason) use self-checkout.
Most of its happening anyway.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
The numbers are public. You can do the math and convince us.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
That’s an abysmally small number compared to the amount of product they move.
Yes, sure, CEO’s should make less. But that amounts to fractions of a percent on the typical purchase, not 10%.
- Comment on Pizza Party and Casual Fridays 3 weeks ago:
Is this meaningfully distinct from measuring monpolization/oligopolies? I can’t recall how we filter out small businesses + self employed folk (and how that plays against companies eating other companies.)
- Comment on Any politician who disagrees needs to go 3 weeks ago:
Yeah… innumeracy really isn’t helping anybody here.
Confused at where the 1.5 trillion comes from, but maybe I’m just not following closely enough.

- Comment on A Majority of Americans Now Support Seizing Wealth From AI Industry 4 weeks ago:
See an extended version of this take from Bruce Schneier. (He’s also going to spend awhile arguing for a public option on AI; something using the technology in an open way, respecting IP, and distributing the benefits.)
- Comment on Being poor is expensive 5 weeks ago:
Do we have data on how much free time and external costs the poor have been burdened with over time?
I could see it going either way (and this is presumably monstrously tricky to account fairly). My lived experience is that many folks have things they’d prefer to do than organizing (I’m looking at phones and social media), over and above the impositions on their lives. But I’d like to know that I’m wrong.

- Comment on ‘Hundreds of job applications’: young people on their struggle to find work 2 months ago:
Good to see anecdata that actually include the people they are about, instead of what an old person thinks their lives are like.
Getting started today does seem bleak.

and I for one am very happy you’re here!

- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 2 months ago:
source on the size of the effects of lobbying vs flight risk?
I would like to agree with you, its just very not-obvious which influence dominates.
- Comment on wage theft 2 months ago:
There’s something I don’t understand here. See the wikipedia article, which shows billions in losses, and (eyeballing) a ratio of ~20-200, not 3. Anybody know what’s up?
- Comment on Playnix: Boutique Linux PC released with better gaming performance than Valve Steam Machine 3 months ago:
I admit to hoping it was more… nix?

good bot
- Comment on North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet. 4 months ago:
Sorry but such a screencap requires a source. This is almost surely misinformation.

- Comment on Anyone know where I can buy or get books by the pound to start a new library for our local jail. To help them read and prep them for a GED? 5 months ago:
^^ This is very good. Also schools! I had a highschool giving out literal trucks of books a couple times.
- Comment on Anyone know where I can buy or get books by the pound to start a new library for our local jail. To help them read and prep them for a GED? 5 months ago:
Pallets, often of mixed books, get sold via auction at the post office reclimation center. You must arrange pickup and shipping. www.govdeals.com/en/asset/145908/4703
Something I really wish I didn’t know about. Hope it’s useful.
- Comment on You are being misled about renewable energy technology - YouTube 6 months ago:
For a lot of folks, the algorithm offers nothing else. If you’re flagged as vulnerable to any of a few dozen brands of content, you’ll never be offered anything else. And very few folks are vulnerable by choice.
Also, idk if you’ve tried youtube search for things you don’t already understand. It is not great.
- Comment on You are being misled about renewable energy technology - YouTube 6 months ago:
The data don’t support this take. The reach of this kind of content is pretty small still, and there’s far more money and effort spent in keeping most people too busy, distracted, or enraged at other things.
- Comment on Lol, lmao even. 8 months ago:
While I had similar concerns, I do think about this a fair bit now. A nontrivial math problem was proved by Aristotle (in Lean, a proof assistant, so we’re relatively sure it’s correct). Alpha Evolve then generalized. GPT pro did some writing and visualization work.
It’s basically the quality of work I aspire to. Slightly cheaper, and substantially faster. Not the strongest PhD, but a solid graduate student.
- Comment on Utah repeals labor law considered one of the most restrictive in the US 8 months ago:
Note that this law was new as of this year, and very poorly received. Quote from article:
He [Jordan Teuscher, the original House sponsor] maintained that it was a “good policy” that has been “overshadowed by misinformation and unnecessary division.”
So watch for this to be proposed in a state house near you.
- Comment on all the proof i need 8 months ago:
important repository of similar content here. Thank you University of Utah.
