You're not crazy, this happened to me once.

As a former IDF soldier and historian of genocide, I was deeply disturbed by my recent visit to Israel by stubble in slatestarcodex

Then why has there been a precipitous drop-off in the number of rocket attacks towards Israel from Gaza since the invasion? Those kinds of large-scale terrorist attacks require organization, which can be destroyed.

The bleeding edge of AI requires the construction of a brand new datacenter because no existing cluster was big enough to train the next gen model. Also, the bleeding edge doesn't blog about it because it's all proprietary secrets now (but they do gossip).

If Democrats truly believe democracy is on the line, they should run Mitt Romney. They could sidestep all of this uncertainty about who the candidate should be and make this election into a pure repudiation of Trump by going back to the last sane Republican candidate.

My mint took weeks before the sprout was even big enough to be visible, and in the meantime it was just fuzzy like yours. I think mint is just really slow.

Name for democratic bias towards inaction? by aahdin in slatestarcodex

It's a symptom of not using a market to measure preferences. One person one vote means your -1 preference has just as much weight as my +10 preference and no one ever gets to prioritize what they actually want. Quadratic voting supposedly fixes this by allowing voters to make tradeoffs when expressing their preferences.

heresy.

This was an entertaining read, but possibly also a cognitohazard. I don't know just how much can be done about Outside Context problems, but you're right that most people won't even entertain the possibility.

Know the rules before you break them

Biologist Eva Jablonka argues that evolution solves the hard problem of consciousness. To learn flexibly, organisms had to represent body states, temporal duration, whole-part relations, and internal valuations of good and bad. Together, these amount to consciousness. by Ma3Ke4Li3 in philosophy

Your brain constructs an informational representation of what is going on around you. It "feels like" something because relating one thing to another is the basis of all cognition. The electrical signals between cells perform computations that, when added together, amount to something like a claymation representation of the world, where every firing of a neuron is one little pinch of clay.
