Do you not realize how dumb this makes you sound?

Better yet when your "friends" get this as well then neither of you have to waste time actually sending anything.

Just move the message into a folder too so neither of you have to waste time reading the automated message.

I think the only way to really fight this is to take it to a stupid level.

Something like try to take down all videos about aliens on the platform as misinformation.

I mean how can we take down all these videos but let videos about aliens be fine with zero proof for the existence of aliens? It is clearly conspiracy theory and misinformation.

Personally, I would never buy a "smart" anything besides the phone itself.

Such a high % of the population is clinically addicted to the phone though I can't blame anyone who makes a product to cater to these addicts.

It seems many people have a completely unscientific view of reality in that they have absolute certainty in what they believe to be true.

I think there are people who are looking for North Korea level approval ratings on things. If you have zero uncertainty in what you think is true then anything contradictory is naturally "misinformation".

Wonderful. I am such a Taleb fan boy but have been putting off Designing Data Intensive Applications. I am starting on it this afternoon from this post.

I just started on Daniel Kahneman's Noise. It will be disappointing if it isn't one of these type of books.

Absolutely. I loved Usenet in the mid 90s. Message boards just seemed like a cool upgrade to Usenet and I didn't have to bother with a reader. I doubt I even had a reader installed by 2002ish.

Terrible font and nonsensical rambling.

What would the point of a FED created USD stablecoin be over USD?

People act like you have to take gold bars to the grocery store to make exchanges as opposed to just using your bank card and electronically settling up in USD.

This Fed speak for we need to regulate Tether IMO. Of course they don't really believe Tether is a systemic risk.

Absurd. It is like saying the collapse of Lehman Brothers would be good for other bank stocks.

When Tether implodes the entire space will deleverage.

Hey yinz . My second home is PGH also although I am not there now.

Such a thought provoking post. Thank you. So much to learn from this. I would expect no less from CMU.

I just started on Kahneman's Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment 2 days ago.

I mean it took so long for Kahneman and Tversky ideas on bias to disperse that we can even be talking about bias in this context.

Bias isn't even the real problem with ML, noise is obviously.

IMO "monopoly" is possibly an outdated idea.

The real problem here is the natural preferential attachment that emerges with tech companies at this scale.

"A preferential attachment process is any of a class of processes in which some quantity, typically some form of wealth or credit, is distributed among a number of individuals or objects according to how much they already have, so that those who are already wealthy receive more than those who are not."

I don't know how we deal with this in the modern world. IMO we need to at least start with network science on the table and realize we do not have the answers if using outdated ideas.

I just can't imagine these are not non-US Military drones.

I think the problem is in the US we think of drones as the DJI phantom and not FPV drones.

I mean if you look at FPV pilots like Johnny FPV or Mr Steele on youtube then extrapolate out a few billion $ on research and development you would end up with something completely alien.
