Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 12hI tried watching the critically acclaimed star-studded movie Tous les matins du monde but I'm sorry this movie is awful. 000
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 12hI would like more acknowledgement from the rationalists that they're not really being rational about things. Like, risk aversion is not irrational, being indifferent about risk is the actually irrational thing 010
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 12hpersonally I think Cincinnati could reduce the brightness of street lamps to like 10% of what they are now and it wouldn't really decrease visibility because they'd be competing against less light pollution, and they could adjust the height and direction bsky.app/profile/theg... 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 12hhas anyone noted how weirdly infantilizing the whole "clean your bedrooms" thing is? It's basically talking to grown men as if they were still teens living with their parents who have essentially nothing else to take care of besides their little bedroom 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 12hpersonally I think it's cute how the rationalists managed to derive opus dei from first principles 010
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 22hso the thing is, hollywood isn't like book publishing, they don't have any real "writers" per se. Executives are coming up with premises and plots based on what they think will make money, and contingent, temporary writers are hired to ad-hoc some dialog for it bsky.app/profile/erin... 171
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 22hBiden read the politics of the Israel-Palestine conflict correctly, but also as the war has dragged on the politics have shifted dramatically. Both can be true. 121
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026this bill has some obvious problems and because of them, I don't think it will pass. It is notably not something Mamdani is pushing bsky.app/profile/crof... 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026also people have forgotten now but the convention through the 1950s was to always put your bread in a bread basket. So strong was the convention that early built-in kitchen cabinets usually included a bread-basket drawer, a drawer that contains the built-in basket for your bread 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026ok it's fun to make fun of the longaberger inheritance but actually the real question is where are all the missing baskets? There should be a lot more baskets when you consider how many were used in the era before plastic youtu.be/Wr4xPSmQjwM?...youtu.beThe Longaberger Baskets Obsession was Insane | Millennial InheritanceYouTube video by The Millennial Inheritance with Nick Fox 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026a subset of the materials used to make one renaissance outfit 020
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If you boiled any kind of meat, that is called broth. If you strained the liquid for use in anything else, that is called stock. That's literally it folks. Nothing to do with bones or how long it takes. All stock is broth. 121
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I believe this is what's known as Middlesexit bsky.app/profile/kate... 010
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Ok let's talk shoulder capes. I've been doing some experimental archeology with two styles of shoulder capes and I'm ready to draw some conclusions 130
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I kind of wonder how effective "they need to be punished" style political ads would be. Show a life-long republican voter who's like "I've ever voted for a democrat once, and that was because of the Mark Foley scandal. But the perverts are at it again so I will vote dem again" or some such 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026yeah another thing that's annoying about him is how he acts like he's the senior most researcher in the united states and doesn't have to argue with us peons bsky.app/profile/joho... 030
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026he legit should sue. They will settle. Practically guaranteed payout imo bsky.app/profile/lexr... 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026*calling to place a reservation* My stomach leads me to believe he would graciously accept an invitation to your establishment for dinner. He will arrive at 7pm with the fillet mignon cooked medium rare, I will be there before hand to approve the arrangements 000
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026"if we teach. people humanities they won't do another Nazi" is probably the same category of fallacy as "if we regulate guns there will be fewer mass shootings." Missing the big diffuse benefits of the thing by focusing on the scary but very rare subset of incidents 020
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm a little confused why we don't hear more about the SPR these days. Are the reserves empty? Does anyone doubt Trump would use the reserves to win an election? bsky.app/profile/chri... 000
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's weird how the narrative on this just ignores the mountain of right-wing funded slop in sociology. Like does nobody remember Mark Regnerus's study of "gay parenting" in which it turned out almost none of the households he coded as gay in his dataset were actually gay bsky.app/profile/alon... 000
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's not possible to make the fandom happy (been unhappy since literally 1980) but you can make a good movie. They won't though, because hollywood won't pay for real writers anymore. bsky.app/profile/andy... 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026this is a weirdly narrow headline for an issue that's affecting everyone about equally 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I don't really get why parents continue to allow their kids to be in frats with the relentlessly negative press they get. What exactly is the upside? 130
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026my advice to normies: you should usually ignore the entire "controlled for" section of a writeup. It is not relevant to you. It is neither good nor bad. It is necessary but not curative, bad experimental design is bad whether or not they used the right control variables bsky.app/profile/us.t... 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026everyone wants to blame Cornell's response here but seems like more of that should be directed to the prosecutor. Cornell did expel 2 students plus the fraternity itself. We don't know if the essay thing about additional students is actually true bsky.app/profile/mjfr... 210
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026ok I'd like to turn this around. I want to hear from patients what yall see as the advantages of further improving interoperability? bsky.app/profile/opin... 120
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Grand Teton is one of the more delicate ecosystems for a national park. The parks where the ecological impact would be less of a problem are the eastern ones like Mammoth Cave or Smokey Mountains. bsky.app/profile/dean... 010
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026also I just want to add that a milk jug is not a valid way to measure out a gallon of liquid. Being able to hold a gallon is a very different task from being able to tell you *whether* you are holding a gallon. You need a graduated cylinder, that won't bulge or contract, with calibrated markings 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026An old farmer's trick (not advice, do not do this) is wash your hands with gasoline if soap and water won't get something off. Gasoline is a very effective solvent. I mention this because, like, don't put gas in a jug it can dissolve a wide range of materials 230
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026there was a viral meme someone told me recently about gas stations out west manipulating the pumps to give you like half as much gas they said you got. I'll just say I'm skeptical since I think this would be pretty noticeable, you wouldn't need special testing to detect bsky.app/profile/hype... 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026also I'd just like to reiterate that it would be a lot more useful if car dashboards told you how many gallons of gas you have left in the tank, instead of a janky estimate of how many miles you have left 240
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026can somebody explain the 70% thing to me bsky.app/profile/arst... 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I don't like that "rice" here refers to a processed protein powder and yet is presented alongside natural whole foods like chicken under the heading "plants offer more protein than meat." Many plants are rich in protein, rice is not, sorry, no bsky.app/profile/carl... 010
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Also there's a bayes problem here that's a little reminiscent of the ivermectin craze. This all started because tut's tomb was a little small and unusually laid out, which led to speculation that it was a sealed-off section of a more normal tomb. bsky.app/profile/did:... 100
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My take: Tut's tomb was originally made for someone else: probable Tut's tomb has remaining undiscovered chambers: pretty much ruled out Tut's tomb was originally for Nefertiti specifically: highly improbable Nefertiti is still hiding in Tut's tomb: no bsky.app/profile/disc... 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Hannah Gann is going to get outsized media attention for the same reason as Arday but this really isn't the kind of fraud I'm worried about with the online Palestinian accounts. I'm actually not sure she even actually committed fraud www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...nbcnews.com‘Temu Rachel Dolezal’: Philly activist confesses to years of identity fraud faking Black and Palestinian heritageHannah Gann admitting on Instagram to lying about having Palestinian and Tunisian heritage after years of activist work. 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I've thought that the fact that the text of the voynich doesn't make sense has distracted people from noticing that the images also don't make sense. Anyway this is an interesting video about what seems to me like one of the bigger decryptions of the images in voynich ever youtu.be/SnRrE9PLU6Y?...youtu.beI found pee in the Voynich Manuscript.YouTube video by Voynich Talk 220
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Youtube seems to think pan sauce is the bees knees but tbh I've mostly been disappointed whenever I've done it 110
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Deep Space 9 was acquired by the Federation just before the show begins, which implies that for most of TNG the federation has at most 8 deep space stations 120
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026it's kind of interesting how frontier AI is either profitable or not depending who you talk to. The big money-loser is either training or usage, depending what report you read. All we can tell for sure is that AI as a whole is losing money right now bsky.app/profile/enbu... 030
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think it's pretty clear there's more human direction in both the big AI math breakthrough headlines and the hacking headlines than those articles usually recognize bsky.app/profile/pond... 150
Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I get the impulse here, and it's probably correct that LLMs do not experience consciousness or sentience.

Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 24/09/202616 you say. What an interesting age cutoff. Why would the deranged west coast sex cult pick a cutoff age that doesn't match either traditional college or high school ages bsky.app/profile/fain... 251

Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney @hyperplanes.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Star Wars presents a special kind of magic that really appeals to young people's imagination and draws them in.
