    PolyCast 440: PAX and Direct

    We would never admit to that.

    Crime and Punishment

    how rich is rich? assault and murder w/o consequences by people who ostensibly enforce against crimes seems to be trending up. any investigation of this incident is invalid unless done by 3rd party. any scenario other than a no-knock warrant on that specific house means the police committed...

    Speed of Civ IV, V, VI, VII... A descending trend?

    You can get trend lines that are sloped down overall despite the occasional uptick, but yeah doing this with 3 data points is a bit awkward. I would argue less along the lines of "trend" and more along the lines of "it's been well over a decade since anybody genuinely capable of designing an...

    Hammurabi Deity Isolation

    "Trolling", was it? We all do a little trolling sometimes, haha. I did some fun stuff with doctoring maps a few times in the past, making advanced minor nations hidden on islands or deliberately adding rivers so that the most likely religion founders would auto-spread at much higher odds etc...

    STOP RISAA, the FISA Mass Surveillance Expansion

    the government has been breaking the law without consequences an awful lot lately i don't like the end conclusion of that, because historically the only recourse is for the government doing so to stop existing.

    Cargo ship destroys interstate bridge in Baltimore

    we'll see wrt cause. situation sucks though. i doubt any deliberate sabotage, this has all the makings of a tragic accident where maybe they'll find someone to blame and maybe (or maybe not) that will be fair to assess on someone who didn't have benefit of hindsight. my family used to drive...

    The 2024 US Presidential Election

    not intentionally violating the constitution many times over would be nice. between lockdowns, osha abuse, and conspiring with big tech as agents to suppress speech, biden admin has far surpassed trump in flagrantly violating rights. trump admin was marginally better at that. but he did...

    Crime and Punishment

    the problem with the police trying to claim imminent threat of harm is that they created imminent threat of harm...very little showing they were "law enforcement" and not potential felony assailants...probably because they were, in fact, criminals. the one thing i will agree with is that this...

    Consciousness: what it is, where it comes from, do machines can have it and why do we care?

    you can test for "consciousness", the problem is first defining and accurately modeling it. the problem with "testing for it" right now is that we don't really know what we mean when we say the word. it's not the same as testing for magnetic force or how much friction there is...

    General News Regarding China & Hong Kong

    it's hard to be optimistic about long term gdp growth when population is nearly guaranteed to contract at a scale only seen in history very rarely over the course of a few decades. accurate financial reporting isn't something i'd bet on from china too. population shrinking won't just be a...

    Trump Indicted!

    has not been debunked. with civil war, we had evidence of insurrection. they headed a rebellious state that started firing bullets. with trump, there was not even sufficient evidence to charge him or literally anybody else with that specific crime. thus a judge ignoring that fact and...

    Trump Indicted!

    he isn't even charged with that. the ruling class hates him though, which is one of the few things i like about him. it's amusing that somehow an out-group arrogant narcissist riles them up so much that they're expose their own corruption blatantly in broad daylight to go after him.

    For how long do you play (continuously) a computer game?

    i voted 2+, but this isn't every session. it depends on the game being played, to some extent where i am in that game (late game eu 4 can be grueling, and i often run that < 2h so that i don't lose play quality to fatigue), whether i have somewhere else to bee soonish etc. this while many...

    Trump Indicted!

    the evidence simply isn't there though. in this case, judges made the ruling against available evidence, not with it. it is an extreme outlier for a judge to (effectively) convict someone for insurrection while even people responsible for charging didn't make those charges in the first place...
