conservatives oppose the universal application of the law *because* such application corrodes these hierarchies. if a powerful man can be held to account by some piddling bureaucrat, then the Natural Order is inverted.

I don’t know. It sounds too much like gender.

So a few folks asking why OAI is releasing this at all. And I think that's probably worth a thread in its own right

Do you know why I think every prisoner should get to vote in prison? Not only are prisoners counted in the census and are most affected by policies (check out prison gerrymandering), but also if you don't, regimes could simply round up 1,000s of dissidents and minorities to reshape the electorate

Yes. These are not separate problems per se, just various metrics about one underlying problem.

Of note, one of this year's ballot measures is purportedly to fund necessary medical research, but a close examination reveals that it's basically a $4 billion taxpayer payout to a single sketchy nonprofit. That's why it's important to read the fine print.

What? No. Building more is not a problem. Difficulty in doing so is. The problem is rent (and housing in general) is too expensive for many people. Rent control helps for a few lucky people while hurting everyone else. Building more helps everyone who rents.

Aaron Denney @aaron-denney.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The better way is to just build more housing.

More directly, it’s about having enforcement mechanisms that destroy trust abusers. If society makes it rational to trust people, you will get trust. If society lets Biff Tannen con you out of your life saving, you will only trust non-law mechanisms for ensuring trust. And in-group will be one.

Hoo boy is it not. It requires taste, discretion, and knowledge of who’s fakers and who’s makers. Setting regulations and testing if people follow them, while not easy are relatively straightforward, especially when you can lean on 2016 and 2024 for imperfec, but sane defaults.

Those infinite branches also exist in Copenhagen until collapse, and then are recreated until the next collapse. It’s a singular wave function. That you can describe it as infinite non-interacting branches is just linearity.

It can be a bit hard to piece together.

Aaron Denney @aaron-denney.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It is actually more elegant. But it doesn’t matter, and when doing calculations you really do want to choose a classical cutoff. Just be aware it’s arbitrary. Also be aware that “classical” quantum mechanics is itself an approximation. QFT has even worse foundational and interpretability issues.

Also, there is no way to create an experiment that would distinguish them.

Aaron Denney @aaron-denney.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It often is evidence of absence. If you look somewhere and don’t see it, maybe you missed it, but maybe it’s just not there. It can be weak evidence, if you didn’t look well, but it is evidence. A stricter statement is “absence of proof is not proof of absence”.

That does seem technically correct, but a rather loose upper bound.
