My recollection is that Gab made a plugin for browsers called Dissenter that did something like this, but they were banned from the Mozilla and Chrome stores under their moderation/censorship policies. I’ve never used it but I think it created a discussion on top of any URL. They ended up making a browser fork of Chrome but it probably went nowhere.
It was reported on at the time.

At the time there were two clear and obvious issues; the provenance was sketchy (material may easily have been added or deleted), and the source (Hunter) was a drug addict.

The "Yeah, my dad's totally on board with this" suffered from both, it may have been fake material added to discredit Biden (hindsight suggests not) OR (just as damning) it's the utterance of a crackhead bignoting an endeavour for credability.

What followed was one partisan media wing endlessly blowing up nothing of substance into a fabricated conspiracy, the other arm either ignoring the nothing of substance or lamely addressing why it was nothing.

You yourself acknowledge this in the framing you used: "showing that Hunter Biden was claiming that .."

The two problematic italics were precisely why knowledgable and honest journalists chose to not endlessly report on it.
It probably has to do with that. They paid for election content, but did not encourage betting. It just looks like general marketing for a platform.

A more egregious example of paying for election content is the alleged scheme of a candidates paying for endorsements. To me that seems much more deceptive and fraudulent.

Not many that I can think of but it would make sense if she were starting with 16' or 24' length of tube as then you would really want to measure the whole length and then mark where your cut or cuts would be as you may already be at the edge of the tolerance. For instance, if you have a 15'11.125" long tube and you need to make two 8' tubes with a tolerance of +/- 1/2 then you need to be dead on with the cut, even though the tolerance is big (which you'd expect it to be on a 8' tube).

It was the opposite. Home sellers paid both the home buyer’s agent’s commission and the seller’s agent’s commission, so buyers’ agents would not show houses they wouldn’t earn commission on, and simultaneously, buyers would choose to use an agent because they would not save any money by not using an agent.

Now, I believe since the National Association of Realtors is not allowed to require their selling agents to share their commission with buyers’ agents, that everything is up for negotiation, and home buyers can save money by not using agents.
I think your experience validates the thesis. These people have expended resources on something they expect will lead inevitably to success, without much further effort required. That's, like, the very definition of "the elite". Of course, it hasn't worked - you're making more than they are, and you aren't forced to put up with (much of) their bullshit (and with palpable resentment) - because it doesn't work like that anymore. We've turned out so many graduates that a university degree doesn't mean what it used to, and they don't automatically occupy the social position to which they feel entitled. Thus, "elite over-production".
Which in turn reflects prevailing conceptions (or misconceptions) about the nature of mathematical objects. The educator must be educated and all that.
> they could just offload to a pitching machine

Sure, but watch out for the game with a pitching machine, a hitting machine, and a running machine.

I do think there is a good analogy here - if you're making an app for an idea that you find important, all of the LLM help makes sense. You're trying to do a creative thing and you need help in certain parts.

> You always could have paid or bullied the smarter kids into doing the work for you.

Don't overlook the ease of access as being a major contributor. Paying $20/month to have all of your work done is still going to prevent students from using it. Paying $200/month would for sure bring the numbers of student users near to zero. When it's free you'll see more people using it. Just like anything else.

Totally agree with your main points.

It is a leap. Human beings are dependent on a specific, very delicate ecosystem and technological civilization to be able to replicate with the stability and scale that we do. We also can't replicate ourselves using arbitrary matter, we require the presence of a diverse breeding population.

You can't just take human beings, push them out into space and expect them - somehow - to multiply exponentially and without error using any arbitrary matter they encounter over millions of generations, but that's the baseline expectation of Von Neumann probes.

Add to that all of the assumptions required to use Von Neumann probes as an explanation for modern UFO folklore. One might assume that a simplistic organism could survive and thrive more easily in interstellar space (something like a virus or tardigrade, for example.) Complex organisms tend to be more delicate and more prone to replication errors over time, as well as more sensitive to things like the radiation of interstellar space. But that isn't what people are reporting - they're reporting large, complex, technological, apparently even piloted vehicles. And that's not even getting into the interdimensional stuff, links between UFOs and the supernatural, or abductions.

Obviously Von Neumann probes haven't consumed the galaxy. Therefore, either no technological civilization has ever existed in the universe other than ourselves, in which case UFOs/UAPs cannot be Von Neumann probes because they obviously haven't consumed the galaxy, and don't behave in the ways that such probes would be expected to, or else technological civilizations can and likely do exist, and Von Neumann probes aren't as simple or inevitable as people seem to think. And it still doesn't explain UFOs/UAPs as reported.

> I know a real estate agent at least takes care of a great deal of paperwork that must be done correctly in the transfer of title

Real estate agents don't even do that; a dedicated title company will take care of this aspect of it.

After doing a few real estate purchases with realtors, I've come to the conclusion that they're not really necessary as a buyer, unless you really need/want someone to hold your hand the whole way. The offer and purchase forms are standardized by the state realtor's association (technically they are not free to use, but you can find them online), and the seller will be responsible for filling out all the disclosure forms and whatnot, which you just have to sign that you acknowledge receipt.

As I said, the title company (often also the escrow company) will handle all the title-related stuff. Your mortgage lender will help you fill out the mortgage application, and either the title company or a notary hired by the mortgage lender will walk you through signing the final forms. In states (like NY) where you're required(?) to have an attorney when you're buying property, I feel like a realtor is even more superfluous.

On the seller side, I do believe realtors provide quite a bit more value. Whether or not it's enough to justify their commission is of course up for debate.

Regarding rentals, yeah... before buying I lived in 9 different rentals (upstate NY, SF bay area, SF), and at no point did I need any third party to help with it, even when several of these were before the prevalence of listings on the internet. Find listing, contact landlord and/or attend open house, submit application, sign lease, done. There were certainly some rentals I didn't end up getting due to high demand, but that's life.

I've always considered the wider point to be that viewing diffs inline has been a laziness inducing anti-pattern in development: if you never actually bring the code to your machine, you don't quite feel like it's "real" (i.e. even if it's not a full test, compiling and running it yourself should be something which happens. If that feels uncomfortable...then maybe there's a reason).
1) Understand the limits of your ability to help. Your local MHMR may be able to advise.

2) Rule out the obvious - drugs. Very unlikely for an abrupt psychosis without any real history. His family may be able to supply history you are unaware of.

3) Helping people who do not want help (regardless of need) usually does not go well, in the end.

4) Let the professionals do the heavy work - your job is to be a supportive friend.

As the guy developing said feed, this is indeed the reason. I have a hard enough time as it is with people gaming the specific parameters of the feed, having it fully open would be a huge tax on my time.

This is upsetting in a world where I need my job to not be homeless, to feed my family, and have really basic things like healthcare. My ability to literally just stay alive is being interfered with by the whims of corporate royalty.

First, as noted by lotsofpulp, this isn't accurate: seller agents were always perfectly happy to deal with lone buyers because there's no other agent to share the commission with.

Second, to the extent there is monopolistic behavior that gets in the way (and there definitely is), that's not what I'm talking about. The market that year was completely insane because of the interest rates, and there is no way we could have navigated it ourselves, real estate agent monopoly or no monopoly.

I'm very glad that they've been forced to allow competition, and most real estate agents are horrible and should be avoided. All I'm saying is that in some markets a good real estate agent is absolutely worth their commission.

They're subhuman about debiasing or any analytical tasks because they lack reasoning engines that we all have. They pick the most emotionally loaded narrative and go with it.

They can't handle counter-intuitive but absolutely logical cases like how eggplants and potatoes belong to same biological family but not radishes, instead they'll hallucinate and start gaslighting the user. Which might be okay for "second-year" students, but only going to be a root cause of some deadly gotcha in strategic decision-making.

They're language models. It's in the name. They work like one.
Ah okay. So I searched for the article which is here:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/06/engl...

The myth it is referring to is that there is a two-tiered system targeting white people. That's obviously a myth -- the notes are probably referring to instances where the Guardian has claimed that police treat racial minorities differently which is quite probably the case (happens everywhere else in the old British Empire so not sure why Britain would be any different).

I found the post on ex-Twitter:

https://x.com/guardian/status/1820788959095529653

But that's from 6 August, not 8 August as per the screenshot and there is no community note on it. I can't find a post by the Guardian about this on 8 August, maybe they deleted it? Does seem weird that they would delete one and not the other. It also seems that one would get community noted and not the other (especially since the 6 August post has 1.6m views and the 8 August post screenshotted has 60k views).

I tried to find the articles shown in the community note in the screenshot, and I can find some about two-tier policing that don't really seem directly related to this.

Maybe I can't find the one that's screenshotted because I don't have an account, maybe they deleted that one but not the 6 August one, maybe the screenshot is fabricated.

Either way, I'm quite sure that this "two-tier policing" claim is of the same ilk that equates rejecting racism with being racist; ie. the "leftist bullies" idea. That violent right-wing protests are being "treated differently" because they're white, rather than treated differently because they're a bunch of psychos being whipped into a frenzy by lies spread on ex-Twitter by influencers, including Elon Musk.

I wouldn't say that's the same as claims that, for example, black people are more likely to be subject to police brutality. But right-wingers love to make claims about "reverse racism".

honestly I order from five or so places with regularity and at each of those places there are two or three things I actually order. Most of the time I really don't think GrubHub is providing any value that merits giving them a cut. I know that I like the orange chicken at the Chinese place near me, the white pie from the New York pizza place, the drive-through burger from the burger place, etc, etc, etc. I don't really need a menu. But yeah, if I'm in a new place and I'm doing a whole browse and search affair, looking at a new menu, reading reviews and all that, I just use Grubhub. That's just not actually most of my delivery. Most of my delivery is "I don't feel like cooking dinner tonight" -> order from one of my regulars.

> And to be frank, many restaurant workers don't have the best English skills and may be in a loud environment, making phone calls more difficult.

Yeah I dunno this argument feels very alien to me, because even people with poor English skills know the names of the items on their menu. It's not like I'm calling them to have an in-depth conversation, I'm just naming items off of their menu. Also I call in for pickup for like half my orders and pick up myself. At a bunch of places the food is cheaper if you just call.
