Assuming this is correct there are still only good guys in this story. It's good to formulate plausible hypotheses about how to help the poor. It's good to rigorously test them. If they don't work, it's good to know so that, over time, we know more and more about what to do.

Good sanity check from @KelseyTuoc on all the Boeing news: “The NTSB lists 12 incidents on commercial aircraft in the US so far this year. Last year, during the same time period, there were 13 such incidents. From 2010 to 2023, there were on average 36 incidents a year”
The data are on a 1-5 scale, the mean is 4.61, and the standard deviation is 1.64 . . . What’s so wrong about that?? statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/04/19/the…

Economic Growth Makes Physical Stuff Cheap and Time Precious
Many-shot jailbreaking exploits the long context windows of current LLMs. The attacker inputs a prompt beginning with hundreds of faux dialogues where a supposed AI complies with harmful requests. This overrides the LLM's safety training:
Terrible to see the many reports about rising suicide rates among young people in the US. I wanted to see whether this is also happening in other countries. In many other countries it isn't happening, and rates are mostly constant or falling
The xz backdoor was the final part of a campaign that spanned two years of operations. These operations were predominantly HUMINT style agent operations. There was an approach that lasted months before the Jia Tan persona was well positioned to be given a trusted role.

no i’m not! I am not morally obligated to simp for any murderous theocrat, whether they be Israeli or Palestinian!
You're just going to have to get used to the reality that most Palestinians are at the least sympathetic to the Al Qassam brigades and want them to hurt the IDF. Maybe you should ask yourself why you find this to be so unreasonable. It has nothing to do with "outside agitators".
One of the nightmare AI scenarios is happening right now. A mind blowing article about the way that AI prediction of Hamas militants combined with a steep lowering of Israel’s traditionally very high bar for a strike (and civilian “collateral damage”) has helped lead to massive…

Economists see inspiring John Oliver segment on debt relief, conduct a randomized trial to forgive $169 million in medical debt, find this has no effect on quality of life or future financial distress at all.

At some point everyone realized that Putin's real ultimate objective isn't Ukraine, but Poland.
As Ukraine aid heads toward passage, it's worth watching Johnson's press conference from earlier this week. And I mean watch, not just read. Because he truly sounds like he's been terrified by the intelligence briefings he's received. c-span.org/video/?535006-…

fascinated by this because looking back on past suffering is so pleasurable to me I have to take care not to idealize it to the point that I lose touch with how hard it actually was
Addressing his crew of exiles in a terrible storm at sea, Aeneas tells them, famously, "Perhaps one day it will even be pleasant to recall what we suffered." This line puzzles me. Is it ever pleasant to look back upon periods of suffering?
The weird thing about people still defending the logic behind RBG's decision not to retire is that the result was one of the most predictable, and predicted, developments in American politics. Here's me in 2014. I deserve no special credit here because all this was very obvious!
I think it was @jmhorp who first made me realize how often these false comparisons are made - in this case, the average of *all* 1 bedroom apartments to the average of *entry level* jobs.
“I’m not voting until the economy is so good that an entry-level worker in their 20s can be absolutely assured of living alone” Look, call me a troll or whatever, but I think some of the economic gloom among young people might be coming from totally unrealistic expectations

There's a European upper middle-class cope which basically says "yes, America might look richer, but there's no work-life balance, culture, or accessible healthcare." What I've learnt moving here is that, no, for genuinely comparable professionals, America is just much richer.
