What do you guys think of SAS's speculation that Metz no longer wanted to write the story but his editors made him to show the nerds who is boss?
I can imagine someone tipped SAS this but also he made it up so he wouldn't be blamed for backlash against Metz

NYT hit piece on SSC many of us were dreading finally dropped. I can't bear to read it.

Except zoos do it on a gift model. I gave a final exam question on this in fall

@WomanCorn judges. remain in Mexico asylum policy. TIX due process. probably a few others I could think of.

there's also the counterfactuals avoided: not staffing the federal bureaucracy w woke lunatics, not starting any new wars, etc

There are exceptions though. For instance if we assume covid takes two weeks to kill you, that'd show up as a bump two weeks after exposure.

Typically hazard functions show decay after a risky settling in period but a relatively smooth curve after that. May be constant hazard, may decay slowly, but there's usually not a discrete drop in the hazard at some arbitrary time far from zero

@pareinoia there has been a qualitative change in the amount of ambient garbage in Los Angeles over the last decade or so. there are ripped open garbage bags _everywhere_

@lolitsnotreal_ now I'm imagining Cardi B lyrics bragging about her vaginal prowess being sufficient to induce false flag rioting (though she'd phrase it more colorfully which is why they pay her the big bucks)

@srs
Yeah,that article is something else. On 🐦 I joked it was planted by the Hawley 2024 campaign

@srs
In theory, yes, but how many 400 sigma events do you have? Still, not surprising that there's some overlap between the distributions and them claiming this as no advantage is laughably weak

@srs
Them saying that distributions overlap is a laughably weak claim

Evotech is losing big to small timers who organize on a grid for metahuman porn. They offer your team 50,000 nuyen to plant racist memes and violent threats in the metahuman porn grid, which will give Evotech grounds to demand Mitsuhama Corp kick the grid off its servers.

Tilt your head, pour rubbing alcohol in your ear, wait a few seconds, tilt the other way and let it drain

@Connor
Not to mention that many of the people this crowd hates the most are in fact immersed in the humanities. Zuck is literate in all three ancient languages of the Western canon and has that stupid haircut in imitation of Octavian. Thiel is a philosophy nerd who hosts thinkers to participate in his salon.

@ejenk
If Pfizer stuck to its original protocol there'd be a different set of congressmen objecting but neither Pfizer nor anybody else would talk about ostracizing them

@Connor
Don't even know what that is. Using Fedilab on my Pixel and web interface on my laptop.

@Connor
It's deans or higher, not chairs, deciding this. Or at least it's mostly deans or higher. Too complicated to explain in a tweet or toot or whatever this is
