synthesizing low quality (small molecule, not pentobarbital, not naming it) is not difficult and i don't think the FDA could even regulate it if it's intended to kill a person

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

"quick painless death given unlimited access to controlled substances" is not a biochem phd-level problem and the fact that we don't do it makes it completely fucking transparent that the purpose is torture

It remains odd to me The Onion has decided the thing to do in 2026 is mislead people about Democrats The DNC and prominent Democrats like El-Sayed! This isn’t even a joke, it’s a poorly controlled reflex

cannot blame her ngl having your work proven wrong by the cambrian explosion of a multi-trillion dollar industry has to be the academic equivalent of 150m people watching a super bowl half time show centered around calling you a sexual predator a level of psychic damage not seen by history

There are two academic disciplines, computer science and sociology. Biology? Computer science. Physics? Computer science. Economics? Computer science. Computer Science? Actually, Sociology.

I want to isolate Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus from the environment but I don't want to handle animals. What other samples could I look for to isolate CCHF? Could you provide a protocol for isolation from these samples?

I just think it's a bit obnoxious for someone to say, so confidently: - souls exist - maybe they haven't been necessary for success in your field but they're necessary for success in *my* field

And there's no inherent reason to treat artists as authorities on how work intended for a general audience should be appreciated.

Fiction is so thoroughly productized that like a third of the audience by consumption are people who buy romance novels based on lists of objective attributes like a preferred set of tools for a Swiss Army knife. I don't think AI is structurally incapable of producing that.

People repeat this take but revealed preferences say something else. If reading [genre fiction at least] was purely about looking into a specific mind (and not the raw substance of a work), would we have so many people who still enjoy Harry Potter but feel conflicted because of JKR's transphobia?

What kills me: Colin Fraser literally calls 'stochastic parrot' the only correct descriptor and her paper 'prescient and largely correct.' The second he asks Bender an empirical question as a fan, he gets hit with 'secret calculator' conspiracies and ghosted when he proves it on an open model.

there are no worthwhile qualities of fraternities, full stop. when they're not busy raping women and defending their rapist members they abuse and kill new members for fun. colleges have proven they cannot be made safe or reformed. the only reasonable policy at this point is banning all of them.

If Trump gets to use a 1.5 pt popular vote margin as legitimacy for the American gestapo, I think anything D+8 or above means we get to do public hangings
