Not really. Emergency operations have a very difficult risk tolerance than regular ones, as well as much lower stakes (a handful of guys in a helicopter crash they signed up for vs a passenger plane full of people who didn't)
I went flying in a small plane in San Francisco recently, and it was freaky how close they let us get to jets full of hundreds of people just because the pilot had some sort of instrument rating. Multiply engine/control/pilot failure in small aircraft by the number of SFO passenger-flights a day, and you get a much higher expected fatality rate than a few weeks of letting people fly supplies into small towns.

Ugh, that sounds even more awkward. Maybe I'll stick to an external poll and see how many people bother to respond. Thanks for the idea though: it's amazing the stuff people come up with to get around crap UIs.

The really funny part is they're still trying to blame motters for their own terrorists. Remember this guy? https://old.reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/1id8pd7/string_of_recent_killings_linked_to_bay_area/m9xjb5h/
The dedication to realty-warping spin is incredible.

Wow, that was thoroughly researched. If that's what counts as thrown together for you, I'd love to see what you write when you've got time on your hands.

You're going to have to clarify that a lot, because using short quotes from AI is normal, just like quoting from Wikipedia.
The rule would have to be something like "posts must meet effort standards without the generated content"
That niche group appears to be running much of the federal government regardless of election results, which should interest people. If that's the case it doesn't much matter who's running the parties.
I'll try and find him. Remember him from the "parade tragedy caused by an SUV" article naming controversy or similar event, but most of those have multiple archived talk pages
That was my thought too. The Chinese optimized with Nvidia's hardware-specific PTX architecture, which ties them even closer as the sole manufacturer.
If they'd done it by using clusters of Intel Sparkle Twink cards or whatever they're calling the new gen, I could see Nvidia taking a hit from it, but this is exactly the opposite.

"Lilith's apple" might be more appropriate statistically

It does use 10x as much nuclear material though, and the centrifuging is already a limiting factor in how detectable your operation is. Not sure how that compares to breeding small amounts of plutonium though.
The one highlighted in the grant link.
Anyone buying the dip on Nvidia? It's looking more and more like they're going to be the only manufacturer of high end gpus for ai use. It's hard to tell if they're overvalued or undervalued, but this particular panic drop seems retarded.
I just threw in 5k for funnies.
(Edit: up 3% so far lol)

A lot of them have a J2 as reddit mods or Wikipedia admins, but you'd have to really work building up a posting history vs their work hours to nail them for that.
There's a guy with a masters in Recreation Sociology who works for the park service (from DC of course), and spends his entire workday in political struggles on Wikipedia. This is exactly the sort you want to get rid of, but none of this policy seems set up to get him.

Is there any ways to do polls on the motte? I'd really like to do a survey on what people are using and paying for winter heating. Don't know about anyone else, but I hate when people link to external poll sites and never reply.
You know, I thought this about the tech layoffs that tried the same tactic, and those didn't seem to turn out disastrously?
It's strange because the incentives seem terrible, but if you pair it with a credible threat of "quit now or you will be hunted down and fired with all your benefits stripped," it could selectively get rid of the laziest traitors who'd provide cover for the really dedicated subversives you're interested in rooting out.
Unfortunately it probably also selects for the 64 year old guys who were the only ones keeping everything running, and are all going to retire at once

22LR or steel/aluminum cased, since those can't be reused
Ask Russian woodsmen about that one. You'd have to be pretty poor and desperate though.
I spoke to someone who got to San Francisco in 1962 and stayed there through some of its weirder history.
He independently agreed that it's mostly a matter of what sorts of people the city attracts.
The other factor he raised is that there were entire communities there where working a real job was social death: if you had one you desperately tried to hide it. Everyone was a writer, a musician, an artist, living off family money, side jobs, government handouts, drug dealing, or some sort of grift. Those environments become a breeding ground for exploitative cults as the Geeks give way to Mops and Sociopaths.
Guys would show up, become gurus, and instantly end up running a cult living in someone else's rent-controlled apartment and spending the family pocket money or welfare of the loser marks who joined up.
Of course these days the pattern is totally different because everyone is a Freelance Journalist, a social media corp Inclusion Evangelist, or Serious AI Human Extinction Risk Theorist...
the only one you're talking about
Is the one done by a community member who many people on here have actually met.
I can only hope you're aware of the irony of whining about this after years of us being subjected to "reactionary incel motte users sure to commit a mass shooting any day now" takes.
Pretty much everyone here has had the experience:
First they came for the gay communists, and I spoke out because the gay communists had been teaching me that dumb poem since I was 3.
Then the gay communists came for me and I was like ???
Then when they came for the gay communists again I said "make sure you get all the gay communists. Here I have a list, let me help"

Big yud did chime in on one of the LW posts to say they got it wrong, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were playing fast and loose with the philosophical side

Of course they reported it lol. Thanks for the extended cite, I was still looking for it in this giant pile of tabs
