Yeah I agree with you, but I was just refuting your claim that it's not perceivable even if you try.

It's pretty easy to discern refresh rate with the human eye if one tries. Just move your cursor back and forth really quickly. The number of ghost cursors in the trail it leaves behind (which btw only exist in perception by the human eye) is inversely proportional to the refresh rate.

Imagine liking only one thing.

(I like nothing)

Yes that was clear to me. I was saying that, while I don't find same-sex content objectionable (indeed it makes me happy to see this kind of representation on screen), and I personally think it's something children should be exposed to, many people would disagree. Just like other tags on here which I think children shouldn't be exposed to at a young age but others wouldn't mind. Relative morality.

Politically speaking, I would be happier if those who oppose same-sex relationships were to change their minds. They pose a threat to my life. But FOSS is for everyone, even people I disagree with.

Yes, CEOs are overcompensated, agreed. Doesn't mean their role in the company is unimportant.

Land, Sea, and Air blockade. They can't use the port.

Large language executive officer?

A rock concert emanating from a point will sound considerably louder at 5 feet vs 30 feet and will make just as much of a difference as 50 feet vs 300.

Of course, accoustics in a concert hall are designed to minimize this difference. Doesn't explain jet fighters though.

Sounds like you have a bad CEO. At five companies I've worked at, three CEOs were that bad. One CEO was very good.

I hate decibels. Such needless confusion over whether they're an absolute or relative scale, what the reference volume is, what the underlying SI units are. Are these all measured at a uniform distance? Why would you take a shower at the library?

He's not an economist, so I'd be healthily skeptical of this exact economic solution. You should however be very concerned about his opinions on where AI is going that it may necessitate this.

It's kind of curious that the headline here is "UBI" given that he mentions AI poses an extinction-level risk.

What do you think a CEO does?

I see people say this a lot and it seems like a math error to me. That's like saying all forms of wealth redistribution have this flaw.

Unfortunately, shaking off users who are digitally conscious enough to use Firefox (and recommend alternatives) probably improves Twitter's odds.

I wouldn't consider "Jew" an ethnicity more than "Asian" -- several different ethnicities under one label.

Jew is a religion. Ashkenazi, Sefardi, Mizrahi are racial groups perhaps.

OK this makes sense to me now.

Looks like they're in A/B testing right now. You can have maximal impact by avoiding using twitter on those devices for the next few weeks.

I guess I would have called them "bad scientists" -- scientists who are bad at their job and hold everyone back. But still scientists.

For instance they correctly applied the scientific method in most other cases. They just were blind to or intentionally obstructive to certain things.

I try my best to be rational and apply Bayes' theorem now and then, but I am sure I am still missing some invisible monsters which will make me look arrogant or foolish in the future. I don't experiment much with software I am unfamiliar with, even if it could improve things at work. I do now and then of course, but should I allocate more time to trying new things? Yeah probably, but I don't, and my job still gets done.

Perhaps they meant to put the asterisk in Twitter's name like so: *
