@violetmadder @Wolven but then being scientific has its methods. The fact that the huge majority of LLM research fails on transparency and reproducibility is a bell too many decide not to hear ringing. There is too much faith, and too little scrutiny. Ah, this might be what this thread is all about :/

Wow, that's a cool story. Infocom's Zork interpreter sources leaked/found decades after they made history.

@MiriShuli @JoshuaHolland would it be whataboutism if I ask you why you allowed Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca, Kissinger, Cheney, Trump? I am not talking of Saddam, Osama, Putin or anyone else. Why didn't you do anything else, but create ISIS?

Forgive me, but this attempt to make you reflect on how absurd your claims are, is the last response you are going to see from me.

@bontchev @kravietz let's be clear: the models have been verified and that's why there are daily short-term forecasts on pretty much any news program in the world. Precision falls for longer-term, but they are still surprisingly accurate for the month-ahead.

Anyway, what you're putting in question not predictive models, but past measurements. Then talking of models is just whataboutism, as I said before

@MiriShuli @JoshuaHolland because this is not what the agreement with Netanyahu was about

Look, I don't want a state to "give me work conditions". I want to decide what causes I invest my time and effort in. I also don't think the ads that a multinational creates are addressing my local community better than people that know it and who advertise locally. I find collective labels as consumers or proletariat to be ignoring who we are, what each of us wants, what we actually do.

I guess explaining why we have different requirements about adblockers is the least what this conversation did.

@otyugh @bobpony because I've lived in a totalitarian country where ads were limited to state-sponsored ones. Anyway, I am probably more willing to discern between different types of ads than you are. To me pushing information to the public through mass media is a valid means of awareness development and discussion (for people that wouldn't bother to show interest in a topic themselves). Then there is also door to door marketing for which I also see valid uses and alternative ways to keep it ethical. Sorry for sliding too much away from the topic

@bontchev first part sounds convincing. Second part really makes me think we should talk about how each of us think human knowledge emerges (epistemology) and not climate or data. I don't even know where to start. Clearly oversimplifying, if we have a bunch of numbers, why can't we take their average?

@bontchev so you do claim that average temperatures are not peaking? Or do you just entertain yourself by refuting individual datapoints mounting towards a conclusion that you accept (other than it being widely agreed upon)?

@bontchev strange that someone with history in technology would be so naive about occasional predictions of local consequences of events that have been globally reaffirmed on multiple levels. The temperature spiral is going to unprecedented territory, wildfires are reaching new highs, ocean life is being wiped and you complain that Europe got scientists off-guard by not being such an extreme outlier as some thought. This could be the new definition of whataboutism.

@lucybeahere @MiriShuli @JoshuaHolland above all, shows incapability to reflect on one's own ability to influence one's own political context

@MiriShuli @JoshuaHolland could I ask for possible alternatives to living in a building with terrorists in Gaza? It's not that they can move out so easily. Even those who managed to do it are now accused of extremism for protesting peacefully in Berlin, London or New York.

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @JoshuaHolland keep in mind that in Israeli laws the Palestinian age of criminal responsibility is 12 years. This is one of the most clear evidence of apartheid because for Israeli it's much higher. Much is already written on the topic.

@dangillmor @eff well, sadly this phenomenon is so widespread in healthcare and education that it doesn't sound so scandalous in law enforcement. But it should.
