Yeah, people are so quick to beat up on students for needing extra time or accommodations,yet elite basically act with impunity.

It's interesting how on either side of the aisle there is a lot of hostility to this, yet if you look at a modern white-collar workplace environment, specially tech jobs, people are constantly needing delays or extra time. Look how often projects are delayed. Or people show up late for work . Or workplace accommodations even for non-disabilities, such as office perks, which are very generous for prestigious jobs.

The SCOTUS delayed many times in rendering a ruling on the Trump tariffs despite having clerks and other staff to write the statements and abundant time.

People have very high expectations placed on students for some reason, and then the opposite for jobs especially as prestige of the job goes up.


Google auto-summaries have made wikipedia less relevant

more relevant but less attributed.

"...well as model outputs at this https URL."

Had no idea it was possible to put a live url in the abstract of an arxiv listing


The result again is a pervasive nihilism, where the truth of what’s being discussed matters less than the fact that it is being turned into content, the reaction to which will also become content.

as if this is a new thing? This has been going on forever. The media made this complaint in 2017. They called it 'alternative facts'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_facts


Yeah a 2% risk of having something which can easily kill you and is very expensive to treat, especially if you're not elderly and still have lots of life ahead of your, is not exactly trivial. I would want to know about this

That's not the case. Most of these wouldn't kill you. Many of those that would kill you would be spotted in time anyways.

And the few that would kill you and would otherwise not be noticed are so rare that the risk of the procedures on the others is considered higher.


hmm that is still around 1.5% of ppl having cancer. not trivial. Even more if you include false negatives.

I mean, i think you need to look more into it than that.

If you make a test that always returns true, it would also meet that criteria.


Basically half of all men have some early form of prostate cancer. Now that does not show up very well on an MRI, but there are quite a few diagnosis like that that are not necessary life saving.

lol "your iphone is severely damaged by viruses"

Facebook was known to aggressively filter URLs too if posted too often.


Unpopular opinion, but I like youtube shorts. No ads, no rambling, no product placement. it forces brevity and getting to point. it is how youtube should be.

unless btc was sent to an obviously fake address, it's impossible to say how much is actually lost . Old wallets have dumped as prices have surged even when it was assumed the keys were lost.

What addresses(es) would you send Bitcoin to in order to burn it?


Thank you!

Creator here. Thanks for sharing. We’re trying to visualise likely dormant wallets to ensure no more bitcoin is lost.
