It’s not called “sick insurance” for a reason

A handful of activists is not a popular movement.

Nothing changes here until more people do it

Two things are happening with the labs. Mostly not related to each other:

A purely anti-science power grab among fascists. Many legitimate research programs will be sabotaged

Exposure of American crimes that did occur in research labs.

Bombs go missing from time to time

I’ll try to explain my thinking.

I’m familiar with how standardized testing is biased against certain school populations. They are targeted towards an upper middle class college prep culture and requires a way of thinking and schooling that has nothing to do with raw skills.

In short: the wording of some questions and exercises is confusing unless one is drilled and practices these.

So historically, low income schools had a double problem in their testing: funding and no prep for the very opinionated questions.

But these new trends occur in all types of schools with different funding. It’s a cultural shift across all socioeconomic groups. The students relate less well to the questions, no matter rich or poor. And it started before AI.

So one can conclude either there is something wrong with the students only. Something is wrong with the tests, or a combination.

I think these tests are showing a shifting way of thinking and interacting in younger people.

The test scores are not tracking proficiency in new tech, it’s measuring old tech.

This is an incredibly problematic statement I made; testing and what it measures is very contentious .

But I think the testing has not caught up to the shift in daily habits.

The developer who made these mistakes probably has ml blocked

I think Carlson is a bit worse than a bigot; he is willing to conform to any style of thought.

Today it’s bigotry, and climate skepticism. In twenty years, probably will be a famous proponent of climate saving. Then a bit later a champion of human rights, then later promoting genocide for a white ethnostate.

A normal bigot will vomit out nonsense. He will use hatred whenever possible for his own power, coldly and logically.

I find it amusing this is posted here

I think the author of this article is a bit confused, and not describing the paper accurately. Because we are descended from homo erectus already.

Trump probably lost both the primary in 2016 and general elections both times, but we will never know for sure because most of the vote counts were not counted by humans in easy to understand ways.

Real democracies have ways to count ballots everyone is ok with, recounts are allowed. Witnesses standing in for each candidate see the counting take place and can ask for a do over.

Here, in the USA, many people see such things as quant and old fashioned; most votes are counted in literally mysterious ways; by things run by oligarchs or the very people invested in winning. And recounts are often not allowed. And often when recounts are done it’s just asking the above companies if things are ok.

Things are not ok as shown by United Nations tests to detect mass fraud, and exit polls as well as polling data before elections.

But anyone trying to have a discussion about this is automatically not part of mainstream politics. I remember huge tech conventions about this subject I am talking about ; but all were soundly ignored by all parties and mainstream media.

In fact, the price of participation in mainstream politics in real life or social media, is turning a blind eye to all this.

And that is how you get a Trump. Followed by lame controlled opposition, followed by another Trump.

I think most Americans do not understand democracy is both voting and making sure that vote is accurately counted. In some states it is.

But honestly, I don’t think Americans as a people can do democracy.

I agree with mastodon, even though eventually Texas will enact similar legislation forcing me to use a vpn to read it
