HappyPanacea··on It wasn't AI that flipped Proton's charge
Please teach us your ways privacy guru (no, really) (also make it convenient and easy to use)
HappyPanacea··on Classification of Finite Simple Groups Formalized in Lean
The stronger AI become the easier it should be to develop and move to alternative foundations.
HappyPanacea··on AdFection: Targeted ads turned into a pipeline for zero-click mercenary spyware
You continue to fail to substantiate the claim Israeli companies are dangerous to their costumers which is what I dispute and talked about irrelevant stuff with whiff of conspiracy of Shin Bet's implicit cooperation.
HappyPanacea··on AdFection: Targeted ads turned into a pipeline for zero-click mercenary spyware
That's not a state of war. So you have nothing to support the delusional claim that Israel is at war with the rest of the world as expected.
HappyPanacea··on AdFection: Targeted ads turned into a pipeline for zero-click mercenary spyware
Yes, it is clear talking point (which I have seen and refuted before) to convince people not to buy from Israeli companies but as I already explained that doesn't apply and in the scenario with NSO - you aren't their costumer anyway.

> I wouldn't put it past the Mossad to blow up my phone, if they had the option. Yitzhak Rabin was killed for less.

Unless you are a member of Hezballah I doubt it. Yitzhak Rabin wasn't killed by Mossad and you have delusion of grandeur if you think your actions matter more than those of Yitzhak Rabin.

> The pager attack is a single stone in a mosaic of misanthropic Likud tactic

The pager attack was designed by Mossad, no reason to believe any particular relation to Likud.

HappyPanacea··on Why is every rationalist blog post way too long?
> Sorry but I don’t believe that HPMOR holds a particular draw to normal Harry Potter fanfic readers.

Believe as you wish but I found about it through r/HPfanfiction.

> That’s about the level of endorsement I’d expect for that book. “Technically, even worse writing exists”

It is a fanfiction, you shouldn't expect a good published book level writing. Sturgeon's law apply very strongly to fanfiction.

Please explain the state of war between Israel and Mongolia.

"tel aviv impressed" - not a very good comment for HN, is it?
HappyPanacea··on Why is every rationalist blog post way too long?
To the author credit I remember the 40k words climax sequence of confronting March was really good and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
HappyPanacea··on Why is every rationalist blog post way too long?
No, Brockton's Celestial Forge for example, a true masterpiece in excessive verbosity and meandering writing which makes The Silmarillion look like a riveting and concise short novel.

> Anyone dedicated enough to get through it is a believer by the end.

Got through the end, not a believer in anything. Not only your statement is wrong (because most absolute statements are) even the weakened statement of most who finished are believers is likely wrong because likely most people who read it are just fanfics enthusiasts like me.

> The ridiculousness of it all serves as a type of hazing ritual.

I have read way worse btw.

How would you prove something is overly verbose?
HappyPanacea··on The Escalation of War in Ethiopia
Not really true, first German taxpayer euros don't go to Israel, second without Israel could pay for USA taxpayer dollars from their aid with some debt increase.

> Then there are many jews living in the west who sends weapons en masse to Israel

Individuals in the west can't buy and send weapons to other countries.

Is Christianity European or Levant by origin?
HappyPanacea··on The Escalation of War in Ethiopia
Not everyone believe in religious freedom, and even those who in paper do might discriminate against those who convert
HappyPanacea··on The Escalation of War in Ethiopia
"And they would be correct. Most people never "chose" their beliefs. It was systematically embedded by people who have had power over them." - nothing about this statement is isolated to modern discourse about European colonisation. It is sometimes true in other contexts and noted in those contexts. Although you can always argue about how systematic something is.

> Houthis used to only attack Israeli ships

Houthi attacked non-Israeli ships as well. So it does change the route or at least make it riskier and before opening the "pandora's box".

HappyPanacea··on September 2026: The world today, as seen by one Polish guy
What does the Hormuz have to do with Bab El Mendab? The Houthi attacked red sea routes before any "Pandora's box" was opened.

> United States decided that our children shouldn't have the right to grow up in this world.

What makes you believe this great exaggeration? If it was true USA would have nuked Iran and Iraq to kingdom come ages ago.

HappyPanacea··on If math is more than proof, we need to better celebrate the rest of it
“You are right. There is nothing in yesterday’s mathematics that you can prove with exterior algebra that could not also be proved without it. Exterior algebra is not meant to prove old facts, it is meant to disclose a new world. Disclosing new worlds is as worthwile a mathematical enterprise as proving old conjectures.” Gian-Carlo Rota in “Indiscrete Thoughts”

HappyPanacea··on Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds
> If a soldier on the ground had called in the airstrike, there is a good chance they would be in military prison.

No, they wouldn't and neither would they in any other military; most militaries don't punish most war crimes let alone what looks like negligence.

HappyPanacea··on An update on Wayback Machine access
This tells us more about your bias then Wikipedia bias, observe that WWII and Bosnian War have their own Wikipedia articles regardless of any genocide occurring in them.
HappyPanacea··on An update on Wayback Machine access
This is not really true in my experience aside from protected articles; however it is true that sometimes another human will make an edit which degrade the article quality or insist on keeping something that shouldn't be kept. Also, Articles on contentious subjects tend to be problematic.
HappyPanacea··on Mistral X Mozilla: Private, Multilingual AI Browsing
very few people like or use it -> browser loses market share

I very much doubt trying weird things meaningfully changed their market share (aside from UI redesigns)
