Never got too deep into Hossenfelder, but I gradually got the impression that Woit was taking a bit of an online-influencer tack, even starting before influencers were really a thing. The whole "not even wrong" flap seemed to draw in people who wanted to have strong opinions about high-energy physics and string theory without really studying them in any detail.
Quantum computing will enable the AGI to entangle with all surrounding molecular vibrations! I saw another press release today
bahahahaha "judge every molecule." I can't believe I ever took this guy even slightly seriously.
I am willing to bet the upshot here is that he has certain very specific ideas about how humidifiers can be improved, and of course will accept nothing less

Nice try, but you're going to have to work a lot harder if you want to trick me into clicking on that. I lived through browsing peak Slashdot at -1, you know

The cult will be the very last constituency to drop away, and likely form the majority of his hiring pool at this point, especially to replace the high-level attrition they suffered last year.
Substantially, uh, wider than I expected. But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. The bird flu is probably hitting that fellow's diet hard.
Stellantis is circling the drain even more rapidly than Tesla. The 3rd-runner-up car makers of both the USA and Europe bonded together into one great big Megazord of mediocrity. Unsurprising they'd pull something like this.
A bit of a superpower, just a bit. A tiny little morsel, a sample of superpower, if you will.
If you gotta qualify it like that...

Both based on desperately trying to find an application for linear algebra accelerators that can generate VC-scale inflated financial valuations, so, yeah
Customer acquisition cost for a future service, which is ~fixed after training costs, assuming we can consider distribution costs as marginal. Reasonably impressive accomplishment, if one is taking the perspective of SV SaaS-financing brain.*
*I don't recommend you do this for too long, that's how some of the people currently prominent in the news got to be the way that they are

I dunno, still not as bad as the last Win10 update I was presented with that wanted to resize the recovery partition and shrink my C drive at the same time. That was the push I needed to switch to my Gentoo install and never look back. I presume that Windows is probably pretty decent about live partition resizing these days, but I don’t know that for sure, and I don’t want to waste time being concerned about it on a system that’s mainly for gaming anyway.
do these kooks follow single inheritance or multiple inheritance rules? I’m a bit more worried about the latter
