friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Yes, and Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg, etc are obvious counter examples if "went to college" means "for more than a year" :-). 020
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025In order to reproduce their methods, you would want to use the same or similar eye tracking equipment, yes? It's expensive, yes, but lots of labs already have it. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025If they could somehow immobilize the eyes - no blinks, no involuntary or accidental saccades away from fixation point - then maybe they would not need an eye tracker. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025"There is no eye tracking in this paper" is not accurate. I see several mentions of the use of eyetracker in the Methods section. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Sorry, but calling BS. Getting a bare bones pupil size demo project working might be easy, but getting robust eye tracking working is notoriously difficult. Tobii, Pupil Labs, and many others have large teams of experts working for years on this. Their change logs are a measure of the difficulty. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Scotus even allowed NYT the right to publish classified information. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Yesterday, a District Court judge ruled that 1) non-citizens do have a right to free speech and 2) that Noem and Rubio violated those rights. So, Hegseth's order limiting what the media can write should be an easy win, a slam dunk 1st amendment case. Has anyone media organization filed a suit?storage.courtlistener.com 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 13/07/2025And being the leader of a Democracy is now the only job where a career criminal can a) obtain a get out of jail free card, b) while padding his/her bank account and c) use the power of your position to build a large gang of thugs and grifters indebted to you and happy to break the law for you. 010

friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Can you ask if he has consulted lawyers to ensure he is free from legal liability for depriving citizens of acknowledged experts when he has publicly stated that we should not take medical advice from him? This is not "negligence", this is deliberately harming public health. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 11/06/2025o3 failed but O3 pro replied correctly: "Ralph, I wasn’t able to retrieve the full content from either Medium (the article appears to be behind a member paywall) or Substack (their server is blocking external access), so I can’t give you the careful editorial analysis you’re looking for." 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Tested with o3 pro and it correctly declined. "Ralph, I wasn’t able to retrieve the full content from either Medium (the article appears to be behind a member paywall) or Substack (their server is blocking external access), so I can’t give you the careful editorial analysis you’re looking for." 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 11/06/2025An earlier attempt that simply asked it not to lie, and to report any issues accessing the articles worked for 3 of the articles, but it went ahead and gave an academic sounding analysis of your "how to leave your body" even though it could only access a preview. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Great post. FWIW, here is a prompt hack that got it to abandon analysis. "before analyzing any of them, for each url, tell me the number of words in the article, including the title. do not lie or make any assumptions. I am looking for empirical validation that you can access these articles." 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Yes, so, it can match humans at endless BS. It has reached Trumpian AGI :-). 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 10/06/2025This seems to be one of the best use cases for LLM tools, put them in the hands of domain experts who can quickly spot/ignore the LLM errors and profit from any of its lucky finds. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 10/06/2025I strongly agree that AI is not reliable, and is far less reliable than human reviewers, so should not replace or even be rated/treated as equivalent to human reviewers. Of course, human reviewers are also not error free, and are overworked and underpaid. AI tools could assist peer reviewers?? 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Bingo. Trump wants the flimsiest of excuses to declare Marshall law. The more crimes he commits, the more he needs Marshall law and he has committed soooo many since starting office. How about stadium sized protest rallies led by a member of Congress, to make Marshall law tricks/scam more obvious. 010
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Sorry for the delay. Are you really asking me to provide a counter argument to why speculation is not reliable? That seems fruitless to me, like me arguing with a flat earther. Want to just debate/discuss healthcare for all? I love the idea, but Trump and Doge make it a huge risk. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Lesson One in Donny's Art of the Deal must be to "insult your trading partner on the global stage whenever you are getting desperate to make a deal to fix a big mess you made" :-) 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Freud was also a huge fan of speculation. Read his analysis of Hamlet. He problematically claims that the lack of evidence of Hamlet's lust for his mother is the very evidence that proves he is repressing it. Donny boy and the Emperor with no clothes would both be very proud of him :-) 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Sorry again, but "speculation for an unelected official" is not a rigorous research topic. Donny Boy loves to speculate and ignore the hard evidence, e.g. the lost 61 out of 62 court cases. Do you really want to ignore the fact that you don't have hard evidence on what causes Pete's position? 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 22/05/2025which one? "I haven't seen a politician yet that's received corp cash that didn't vote in the interest of the Corp. Have you?" ??? 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Sorry, but OpenSecrets is not sufficient data for research. This is turning into a flat earth discussion. I'm saying correlation is not causation and you say that is not personal? For additional "substance", I cited Ickes on how inaccurate we are when we try to guess what someone is thinking. 210
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Your overconfident assumption that no politician ever goes against a donor is a great example of folks overestimating the likelihood of a correct guess, btw. You are in good company, so no worries, but please don't confuse this guessing with accurate research. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Are you are claiming that you have extensively examined all empirical data and there are zero cases where a politician voted against a corporate or other donor's interest? Would you care to put money on that claim :-), if so? No politician ever accepts donations from competing interests??? 200
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 21/05/2025So, folks concluding that Pete voted for X based on donation Y are not doing research, they are guessing, and their accuracy is dubious. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 21/05/2025We love to guess what other people are thinking, and often assume that we can make accurate predictions/guesses based on limited data. Data from William Icke's empirical studies may surprise you. For people who don't know each other, accuracy is 25%, 30% for married couples. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Ty, I like OpenSecrets and rigorous research. What causes Buttigeg to vote for medicare for some? Is there a casual relationship, in either direction to Pharma donations at time X? Donation data correlations can not answer that. It would not be research, but speculation to assume otherwise. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 24/04/2025"likely" is not data, of course, but speculation. Opposing Medicare for All is not inherently a Pharma position, by the way. What is one huge risk of Medicare for All? Would you want DOGE and Trump to be able to dismantle it/F with everyone's health care? 020
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Please follow-up with any additional data. Genuinely would like to know if I'm missing something. For whatever position, the ratio of supporting data to big claims/speculation is a good indicator of propaganda. 200
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 24/04/2025So, are you claiming that voters wanted none of the things Pete has done or will do and big corporate donors wanted all of them??? Do you have an iota of supporting data for this huge claim or is this like an LLM hallucination, a plausible sounding narrative that we should ignore? 231
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Great idea! Another option for some is to enroll in a course at your local community college. It's not free, but relatively cheap 100 dollars for a year? of institutional library access. 010
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Ah, sorry to point out the macabre, but he can replace liberal justices or even Roberts with complete toadies if they fall out of a proverbial window in El Salvador. 120
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Yep. Which is why, against the odds that Scalia etc care about liberal Scotus, I hope Scotus "debunks" this fairy tale argument asap. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Bingo! Using his "courts cant interfere in Foreign policy" fairy tale, Trump could illegally abduct anyone, including liberal Scotus, to El Salvador and he could not be ordered to return them. 2112
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Chinese cars are a big thing that scares all other auto makers globally. Everyone is being out invested in factory capacity, robotic automation, battery tech for EVs etc and rapidly losing market share wherever the Chinese cars are allowed, e.g. Mexico. So, Slotkin is not operating in a vacuum. 010
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 10/04/2025The same guy who tried to have his VP assassinated and stage a coup because of election fraud AFTER losing 61 out of 62 court cases trying to prove election fraud? Yah, this is a "nuclear class" sociopath who has zero shame, and yep, he easily tells bald falsed lies to millions. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 04/04/2025With these dumbass tariffs, Donny Boy, the exalted leader of the new DEI crew - "Dumbasses Everywhere Instantly" - has imposed the equivalent of punishing economic sanctions on the US and all of our allies, but not Russia. 100
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Bingo! Donny Boy's new DEI - Dumbasses Everywhere Instantly - will continue to bring us a parade of this kind of stupidity, another masterclass on creating government waste. 020
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Hey Ronnie, your hero also "believed" that he was right about Biden stealing the election, even after he lost 61 out of 62 court cases trying to prove that. 010
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Bingo! Political polarization is a smoke screen. The distance between sane GOP - e.g. Kinziger, Luttig, etc - and Dems is smaller than it's ever been. We have an active crime scene and the MAGA GOP, with assistance from Roberts, are firing out the back window at the cops in pursuit. 020
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 31/03/2025So, when do the class action shareholder lawsuits begin? He's openly stating he doesn't care if what he says/does causes his share prices to drop, yes??? This is a multi-billion dollar case that will be over after a one hour hearing :-). 010
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Bingo! This is Donny Boy's revamped "DEI" program, Dumbasses Everywhere Instantly :-). The surprising star of the DEI hires is Musk, who apparently has concluded that nincompoops at the top of all agencies will lead to efficiency and cost savings. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 27/03/2025And through the lens of politics, this seems nuts, but America has elected El Chapo's dumb cousin, and of course he's going to lie and do everything to slow down or kill any cops in pursuit. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Bingo! But this should be the loud message of Dems. He's a career grifter who denies 61 out of 62 lost court cases to then stage a coup and try to assasinate his VP, who claims he wants to save taxpayer dollars but flushes billions, who claims the worst breach of security is perfectly normal. 060
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Bingo! Republicans, led by their fearless Donny Boy, are the great undoers, unable to accomplish anything of their own, they excel at undoing what others have worked hard to build. 000
friedokra.bsky.social @friedokra.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Yes! It is nuts that Schumer is caving to this "hostage threat". Trump and Musk will use this ploy every time to force his hand if he agrees to this. Dems have refused to cave to the many shutdown threats before and it is even more important now. 030
