I see you don't subscribe to weekend papers. Mild, minor culture articles are perfectly normal and welcome for media outlets to carry for the people who pay to subscribe for their journalism.


Whether it is or is not, is not a function of the cocaine though, but rather idiosyncrasies of the wider ecologies the salmon are in.

If roaming more widely introduces them to more productive food opportunities (or, lower predation) than their closer ecology, then it would be beneficial for them. If it does not, then it wouldn't be. Neither context is determined in the basic finding that cocaine causes them to roam more widely.


Even in the case it were to benefit the salmon, that could still cause secondary problems: something like how nutrient pollution causes some species to run rampant.


Trump is the most postmodern politician, and MAGA the most postmodern of political movements


It's crazy how convenient and deep the library on soulseek is. I even use it all the time on mobile.


This is not at all what is meant by fascist corporatism, nor corporatism more generally. Corporatism is more about collective bargaining by professional trades, and is not the sense of corporation as used for private companies.


> The challenge with comparing AI to humans is that the bar keeps shifting up.

Exactly. There is no standard, humans will adapt and find how to use AI as a tool, and the bar will never and should never be fixed.

The beauty of Turing's Test (which he strangely seemed to misunderstand) is that it is almost impossible to pass.


There really isn't any Bayesian "prior" for us. We exist as agents interacting with an environment qua data stream. Every single moment brings new flows of "data" and as such there isnt a sense of having a prior and posterior since this milliseconds prior is last milliseconds posterior.


Not entirely; it's doesn't necessarily involve taking advantage of price discrepancies in different "markets" of the same asset, or contract so to speak in this case, and so it doesn't necessarily lead to "guaranteed" profit in the way that arbitrage does.


It is not a good idea for retail investors to get heavily involved in zero-sum derivatives trading against much more sophisticated algorithmic trading models.


It's just not for you to judge. Those with sophisticated models usually have a lot more capital to manage. Also, it's not a zero sum game because alignment with the underlying's price drives it. Long term share holders are the foundation that makes it not be zero sum. As a retail account grows, its approach too can become slightly sophisticated over time.


It's not a good idea for punters to go to the casino and bet it all on black. Some percentage of the population is always going to be degenerate gamblers. We can try to reduce the harm a bit but ultimately this is just a reality we need to accept.


Being next to the steering wheel is worse. If the human needs to be in the car, then he should be behind the wheel. Putting him next to the wheel is categorically stupid and only serves as theater for fools.
