You know what I think they're missing wrt developing a theory of mind for other people? Empathy. Or maybe it's the theory of mind that comes first, and then the empathy? In either case I think seeing empathy as a weakness impedes the process.
It's like all racists - not just the MAGA ones - have a total lack of theory of mind for other people, especially for those of other ethnicities. bsky.app/profile/fain...
Simply because, it’s their job, along with security services, to cover up the crimes of the wealthy.
The drum that really need to get beaten is that the single biggest blocking point for Iran breaking out was that the supreme leader was sincerely religiously opposed to nuclear weapons, which is why we, very smartly (/s) blew him up

The crazy heads of state blowing up each others fossil fuel assets would be a fitting end to modernity.
Not tagging or linking to avoid a dogpile, but "the Torment Nexus is just mirroring societal pathologies in micro and we should address them in macro" arguments really need to reckon with the Torment *also making those pathologies worse in macro and intentionally undermining societal solutions*
Cartoon von Perscheid. Rita ist als Blume verkleidet, Kurt hängt im Bienenkostüm von der Decke. Das Kind steht in der Tür und wundert sich.

Der Umstand, dass Rita und Kurt ihren Sohn bisher nicht aufgeklärt hatten, brachte sie nun in Erklärungsnot.

This is my favorite so far.
Seriously yall, as someone who still hangs around on the other site for work purposes, I don't think you understand the truly galaxy brained shit that is being cooked up in response to the war with Iran.
The tool, called HODIO (Spanish for Footprint of Hatred and Polarisation), will track the presence, spread, and impact of online hate speech as part of a broader oversight of SM platforms.
Results will be made public to show how platforms respond to harmful content.
Iran is likely thinking that they not only want to survive—which is practically a win for a relatively weaker power attacked by a stronger one—but also that they want to impose enough costs on enough parties that the US assault becomes a cautionary tale.
Trump started something he can’t control.
As for how fast can US draw from SPR, it's maximum nominal rate of 4.4 mb per day, with oil reaching market in about 13 days from a presidential decision
It's 400mb total (the US release is included into that).
SPR release is not meant to replace barrel for barrel Hormuz deficit.
It's to calm panic & prevent hoarding, compress extreme backwardation and buy time for other more durable solutions (rerouting, demand adjustment, mil/pol settlement)
I ask because I assume Iran can do math as well as me and if they know 'global economic catastrophe in roughly 40 days' that's a big incentive to hold out for 41 days if they can.
And I suspect they can.
LLMs are a pain in the arse for real doctors.
"Rectal garlic insertion for immune support...
A doctor who's unsure will pause, hedge, order another test. An LLM delivers the wrong answer with the exact same confidence as the right one."
"In the United States, a staggering 60% of all car trips cover less than 10km."
It's the reason for 'strategic oil reserves' and foreign wars.
So that people can harvest 5 kg of groceries within a three-kilometre radius using a two-tonne car.

Die @boeckler-stiftung.bsky.social zeigt, die #Einkommensungleichheit in D nimmt zu. Das ist nicht nur im Geldbeutel spürbar. Auch unsere #Demokratie zahlt den Preis.
Die Ergebnisse sind eindeutig: Keine Demokratie ohne #Verteilungsgerechtigkeit.

Tweet by No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen referencing cuts to food assistance for hungry children, quoting a report claiming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth oversaw $93 billion in Pentagon spending in one month, including $2 million on Alaskan king crab. The image shows Hegseth speaking and a photo of king crab legs with sauce.
I was told the GOP cares about fraud, waste and abuse.
*hust* Technik in Kritis Sektoren, die ihre Hersteller überlebt hat, lässt grüßen...

Mein Papa hat mir heute zum Thema "sichere Atomkraft" einen einfachen Gedanken an die Hand gegeben.
"Viele Atomkraftwerke sind über 40 Jahre alt. Überlege mal, wie Technik vor 40 Jahren war."
Und dieser Gedanken ist extrem gruselig. Auch bei Nachrüstungen. 40 Jahre alte Technik. 😬
We can either have a functioning society or we can have billionaires. Either/or not a both/and
More reasons to hate Elsevier!
“Elsevier, the company that makes a lot of the compulsory textbooks for University, commissioned scientists to develop a new book binding glue designed to fail after 3 years, as they hated that there was a second hand market.”

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
80% of Southern Baptists, Assemblies of God and Mormons voted for Trump, despite the fact that he has been accused of sex with children going back to the late 1970's.
Who is responsible for equipping the people who stand behind him? Where are their nets and pitchforks and torches??
Klassiker. "Past performance is not indicative of future results."
