Are you sure? The Conspiracy Theory Questionnaire is 38 questions but the CMQ is 5 questions. Today's HN link talked about the CMQ. And figure one lists 5 observed indicators which I took as a hint.

You can grep for "The 38 items administered in this study [dubbed the Conspir-acy Theory Questionnaire (CTQ) by Darwin et al., 2011] con-tained 33 items measuring the belief in specific conspiracy theoriesand five items assessing participants’ general tendency to believe inconspiracies or their conspiracy mentality. We refer to these latterfive items as the CMQ (see Appendix for complete item wording)." in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3639408/pdf/fps... to see the context of what I'm going off.
I don't know that. You asked for numbers on how many supervisors per car are needed (I bet it's around 1:100, probably less) and how often they intervene (a few times a day at most? Otherwise you'd read articles about cars being stuck all the time). If you knew the actual numbers, you still wouldn't know HOW it works. The post does shed light on the actual workflow and gives you important details that you wouldn't glean from the numbers alone, e.g. that the car is always the one in control.
Uber operates through a local JV with Tmap called UT. Taxi drivers typically sign up for both Kakao T and UT, except when exclusively branded. (Kakao T and Uber both operate branded taxis.)
I see a couple of issues here. The first is that creating, maintaining, and operating a nuclear facility on the Moon would almost certainly be far more challenging than "just" maintaining a couple of weeks of power storage. But that kind of implicitly leads into the other issue. That is that you only really need the scale of power that nuclear can offer once you've already substantially industrialized the Moon. For some simple habs and research areas, even something as small/simple as a radioisotype generator [1] would be more than fine.

Beyond all this, I meant novel when I said novel. The regular extremes of heat and cold offer all sorts of interesting ideas. You've got room for predictable and endless convection on basically an arbitrarily large scale there. There is certainly going to be some clever way to exploit this in a novel fashion.

Anecdotally in my experience, autistic people are a lot more likely to "not care" about social consequences and also more often think about or believe conspiracy theories. It's also not a bad thing to have some people believing in conspiracies, especially when the media/government decides that any stories about them are crazy conspiracies and everyone believes them.
Great advice wrt handyman.

Anyone noticed this: They have already published the same basic idea "Semantic Entropy" in ICLR 2023 (https://openreview.net/forum?id=VD-AYtP0dve), but they did not cite this prior work in their Nature paper. From the submission record, they submitted this Nature paper after their ICLR paper got accepted and published. According to the Nature submission policy regarding conference papers (https://www.nature.com/nature/editorial-policies/preprints-c...), it is clearly stated that "Authors must provide details of the conference proceedings paper with their submission including relevant citation in the submitted manuscript." So this seems a clear-cut violation of Nature policy to me. Any thought?

It's not a poster child, but the US sets such a low bar that SK looks great by comparison.

Note also that the US isn't so visibly corrupt at the federal level; it's at the local levels where it's really no better than the typical poster children for corrupt countries. Taxis are a completely local (municipal) issue.

Who woulda thought this would end up with Apple Intelligence (AI)?
Essentially the only thing this study is saying, without the social psychologists themselves realizing it, is that people who stick to their views despite a majority of their peers disagreeing with those views tend to be ostracized from social groups. Sometimes those views are false conspiracy theories, sometimes they’re reasoned skepticism, sometimes they’re pointing out uncomfortable truths. I would be more interested in studying how people are convinced to ostracize peers when their beliefs about something unrelated to their survival or day-to-day life are opposed to their own.

Most countries ARE capable of that. Or rather, most people of a country don't like platforms not dominated by their own primary language, and this is passively achieved by that tendency.

Lots of Russian stuffs on the Internet come through Telegram, meanwhile China has Weibo and TikTok, Korea does its thing in KakaoTalk and Facebook/Insta, Japan uses LINE along Twitter/Insta instead, so on and so forth. Everyone could be on Facebook, but that isn't what is going on.

The Interweb isn't so global, and English isn't the lingua franca of all communications. It's just the perception one experiences through an American door, though the Web do tend to be more developed in en-US.

I for one am old enough to remember when this was widely accepted. It seems it's out of fashion now, but I remember progressive people talking about male and female brains and how transgender people are born with the opposite brain, and it's proven, and if you don't believe it youre a science denier. I find it just a little suspicious that nobody is willing to admit that they said this out loud, almost as if it was not about science at all.

This just in: new research finds differences between male and female anatomy.
The assumption that colonisation and endless population growth are inevitable goals of any intelligence is a flaw of the paradox, in my opinion. I see it as something we just haven’t outgrown yet as a species.

That colonisation could of course be in the form of probes simply exploring, but there are timescale and resource issues with that which make me question if it would be worthwhile for a civilisation considering the limited energy in any given system and tremendous effort involved in getting to another once it runs out.

This, so much. There's so much discussion of "the Chinese threat", but it's just not credible.

The only thing that China would want to invade Australia for is our resources, and they can just buy those. There is at least one mining operation in WA that is Chinese-owned, Chinese-run, entirely staffed by Chinese folks flown in direct from China, and exports the mined resources only to China. They just pay some taxes and royalties to Australia. That is vastly cheaper than any military solution for obtaining the same resources.

I think there's a section of Aussie society that would like China to be a credible threat so that it justifies more military and more fear. But it's just not.

As a person who works in HFT, I don't really understand the supposed edge of hedge funds. The article makes it sound like the core strategy is buying some stocks and selling others. Why is this revolutionary though? Selling is just offsetting the buys and reducing overall exposure to the market, equivalent to having bought less in the first place.
Then the article mentions "buying in a bull market" and "selling in a bear market" - which obviously makes money, but is predicated on your ability to predict market moves, the possibility of which is highly questionable... And if you already know what the market is doing, then hedging only reduces your upside. It seems to me like the real strategy here is predicting market moves, and everything else is just paper shuffling.
If directional investors want to limit their downside, then invest less in the first place.

Then they iterated on it in subsequent missions, creating a decent system that was less dumb and restrictive than the original.

> They suffered and died.

They were (mostly) taken care of by extended multi-generational households. They obviously died and/or suffered to the extent that medical and QoL technology was insufficient. The whole status quo of pensioners migrating to Florida-style retirement community necropolis with a F-150 and a rubber stamped driver license is a modern US-centric phenomenon.

You are naming disparate & absurd things as the reason that European like walkable communities are bad for old people, like the difficulties of 1930's cities (or perhaps pre-industrial, you aren't very clear), the difference in landmass between the US and Europe (?) and the fact that there is a small range of disabilities that allow someone to drive and shop to Costco but not to go to a cornershop.

The reality is that being old sucks ass, but being old and sedentary (when you can avoid it) sucks worse. I've taken care of multiple senior family members & friends, the ones that were active, i.e walking everywhere, not avoiding stairs completely, have lived longer and happier. Sure, even active people gradually lose the ability to do day-to-day stuff and cars or microcars[1] can help them and other people with mobility concerns, but that's not an argument against walkable places.

Making streets non-hostile to pedestrians, having necessities closer to residences and prioritizing public transport makes people stop preferring cars as medium of transport if they don't need it (youngsters). This actually helps with traffic and in turn helps the people that need cars like someone with a rolling walker and arthritis or a delivery van.

Implying that people advocating for walkability are heartless youngins that don't care about old people just because you are losing arguments left and right, is actually really unempathetic.

There isn't actually such a big difference between flat earthers and other conspiracy theories. The common theme is that it's the opposite of science or the scientific process.

Conspiracy theorists filter out anything that doesn't align with their theory and go to extremes to support their world views. E.g. flat earthers believe that all airline pilots are part of the conspiracy to hide the fact that the earth is flat. The scientific process, to contrast, would drive you to try and falsify your theory via experimentation, and the flat earth theory is so easily falsifiable.

If you look at vaccines, or climates, or 9/11, or those guys that believe nobody was killed in some massacre, they all use the same sort of logic (or shall we say non-logic). Despite overwhelming evidence they stick to their version of "reality", they never seek counter-evidence, they believe everyone but them is part of a ploy to hide the real reality from everyone. They don't trust experts or scientists.

It's not impossible to have conspiracies in the real world. But I'd say those are rare. The more people are involved the harder it is to keep a secret. There are also situations where the evidence isn't necessarily pointing overwhelmingly one way or another, and there is science that later gets refined or even overturned as more data/knowledge is acquired. Science isn't necessarily absolute truth, it's just the model that best explains the observable phenomena.
That is one of the possibilities that are highlighted in the abstract, Amoung other theories, including that lonely individuals seek friendship within conspiracy communities. Humans are very good at post-hoc rationalisation.
Wonderful summary.

Loneliness and social media are are potent mix of self-reinforcing behavior.

Loneliness creates the conditions for greater social media use because social media is a pseudo-satisfier for real human connections.

Meanwhile, short form social media like twitter & tiktok mimics a schizophrenia-like experience of hearing many unrelated voices in quick succession. Social media use is also habitual and addictive, meaning you're not entirely in control as you keep scrolling for hours on end.

It's not a stretch to imagine that one consequence of this situation is to start seeing connections where there are none, which at the extremes is the root of conspiracy thinking. Making connections is also a form of regaining control, and when played out on social media is a way to feel like you're connected with others and part of something of consequence. Of course outside of devices, this conspiratorial slide further isolates you from society, and so the self-reinforcing spiral continues.

Opportunity Cost of Being an Engineer
A big contributor to the problem is that the word conspiracy has become too broad to be useful as a test or label anymore.

Everything novel in the world arises as a result of a recursively self-propagating memetic function, one that could be characterized in its earliest phases as a conspiracy: namely that one, two, and then a handful of people settle on a common notion about something universal that needs to change, whether it's for the good or the bad of everyone else, and when successful that idea fans out memetically to others so that it accumulates the necessary physical mass and force required to cause real change.

By the time the impact of this force hits people who have no connection or even awareness of the original initiating group, it feels entirely exogenous and a search for the conspirators, those who triggered the initiation of this wave, is an understandable response especially if the change is unwanted.

As a recent example, one of the cleverest bits of social engineering in the Bitcoin project was the possibly intentional disappearance of its pseudonymous founder, conveniently removing the ability of those so exogenously impacted to identify the origin of the change with any particular individual, greatly complicating accusations of conspiracy. A much earlier example, curiously similar in form, is the origin story of the traditional founder of alchemy, Hermes Trismegistus, to whom was even ascribed authorship of that movements own founding "white paper," called the Emerald Tablet.
