Ryan Bateman @boat.horse · 05/10/2026Applied for German citizenship. Now... we wait. Will the UK have rejoined the EU by the time my application is processed? Will the AfD have gained power and rejected my application outright? Either is entirely possible within the time spans that German bureaucracy typically operates. 140

Actuaries - whose jobs depend on getting death rates right regularly publish age-standardised mortality rates. Post-pandemic, back to a steady year-on-year improvement. 37427

Ryan Bateman @boat.horse · 24/09/2026It isn't pronounced how you think and also he is/was quite an important figure in South African politics and history. He is only called Tokyo because he learned karate as a kid but as far as I recall he was only ever referred to by that, including only government things. 210

Ryan Bateman @boat.horse · 20/09/2026The world will not end because a 'super-intelligent thing' has a grudge. It'll be a money-blinded billionaire whose hubris and greed release an dumb, agentic grey goo. And 'end' is a huge overstatement. 110
Ryan Bateman @boat.horse · 20/09/2026And no-one should be talking about Roko's Basilisk, even in jest. Not because of the premise, but because it's a dumb, catchy idea. Cognitohazard, yes, but not like that. 310
Ryan Bateman @boat.horse · 20/09/2026Really dislike the NYT podcast giving the Rationalists a "but it's based in probability" credibility bump, even as they position it as a sex cult (without ever actually talking about the sex or cult parts). 120

Ryan Bateman @boat.horse · 20/09/2026And as a result (from my sloppy week's worth of reading) for the full connectome no-one seems to be able to create anything other than a bi-stable state: it's either absolutely quiet/barely responsive or stuck in a self-exciting loop. 120
Ryan Bateman @boat.horse · 20/09/2026And for all that Google et. al say it's mapped, so many of the neurons and groups aren't understood - whether they're excitory or inhibitory or their energy thresholds.
