How dare you accuse Gary-Marcus-5.2-2025-12-11 of being an LLM??

What are you talking about?? Meat contains no fiber. The primary fiber source is plant-based foods (e.g., vegetables). So modern populations eating lots of meat means they're getting little to no fiber.

Sorry, that was a mistype, I mean lots of meat, very little fiber.

> Young people put in effort showed up. It bought them exactly one legally rigged primary.

It is certainly wise to give up after one failed effort. Never try again. /s


Oh I agree and I vote. More people need to vote. But I understand why people feel little motivation to.

This type of election to use an app by a government agency sets the tone, and more importantly tends to redefine "best practices." Would you want to be the one private entity known to not be using best practices? Would your risk officers or lawyers be OK with that decision?

Since when does government set trends in private industry?

I’d like to know what private businesses are copying the kind of workflows and customer experience you get at the USPS or DMV.


China generates twice as much clean energy compared to US, in raw gigawatt-hours: https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/chinas-power-gri...

Looks like they are not far off on fossil fuels as well. And at around 5x the population.

Yeah, this explains why this cryptography paper was published in a ML conference. Any reasonable reviewer would reject this as not providing sufficient security.

It's pretty upfront about being a novelty project done by a self-described non-crypto expert, and I don't see any assertions of it guaranteeing any degree of sufficiency/security or claiming any such NextBigThing(TM) hype.

Just because a paper is published doesn't mean it wasn't done for fun/the hell of it.


Yeah this is bang on. I messaged my old supervisor from uni about turning CubeAuthn into a paper and she suggested I submit the paper to that conf.

Holy run-on sentences, Batman!

> If you* don't value that, then why did you read the tin, buy the thing, and then complain that it is what it said it was going to be?

Because the tin didn't say "repairable and upgradable and poor battery life and shaky case". It only mentioned the benefits but not the drawbacks.


To be fair, I've had plenty a non-repairable laptop with poor battery life and shaky case. I don't know their excuee.


If all the laptop components break at the same time, there's no need for repairability. Then it’s just a somewhat disposable computer by design. For a car analogy, this is how many americans could afford their first car.

The truly bad designs are when one broken component is preventing repairability. Hello apple!


Patent system is an abomination anyway.


Publishing collusion rings would greatly enjoy using this web-of-prestige: https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/a-massive-fr...


Those already occur though.

I wonder if we could form a graph that would make a collusion ring intuitively visible (I’m not sure what—between papers, authors, and signings—should be the edges and the nodes, though). Making these relationships explicit should help discover this kind of stuff, right?

Another problem with my idea is that a lot of famous luminaries wouldn’t bother playing the game, or are dead already. But, all we can really do is set up a game for those who’d like to play…
