silver92bullet··on Incident with Github.com
I think for Github to redeem itself in the community eyes, it should come out with a very detailed technical analysis (short of proprietary details) what went wrong technically and what went wrong from a management perspective. I think it is hard to believe the line about the LLM influx at this point. I think nothing short of a full postmortem break down will restore trust in Github at this point. Even then it Github has probably lost nearly all trust and ability to turn around its reputation in the short to medium term.

If this is an Iranian attack this should get more press. This is one of the first times that another country that the US has been at war with can significantly affect us without a physical presence. This is not getting enough attention and once these attacks become more significant they will cause chaos.
silver92bullet··on Why Are Birthrates Down? Two New Studies Point to Phones
Yeah I am not going to say "I care about those things too," because I was thinking about adding something about that before you responded. I don't think the manosphere and sexually explicit media are far a field from each other. I think it is often the case that men go from one to the other. Typically from a life filled with meaninglessness in pornography and the objectification of women to a life ultimately that ends up in another meaningless pothole of objectification of women and other groups of people for a different end but ultimately achieving same thing. It is in the end that Nietzches Madman was trying to warn us of.

I am not just trying to ban content for the sake not liking it. I generally air on the side of free speech over and above banning content becaue I am not in favor of it or disagree with it. I think there is legitimate concerns about how it is affecting both the mental health of young men and the ability for young men to be able to have social relationships with women that are not skewed by the active objectification that they practice when viewing sexaully explicit media. I am not saying that low fertility is mono-causally caused by this issue but I don't believe enough research has been done on this on the cause and effect.

I think the thing that is not mentioned here and hardly ever explored in these situations is how the IPhone/Smartphone made sexaully explicit media vastly more accessible. There have been studies that show addiction to sexaully explicit material is equivalent neurologically to using drugs. (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...)

Either way I do believe this may have more affect on general fertility but generally it goes unspoken, generally, because no one wants to admit allowing free and and nearly unfettered access to sexaully explicit material to both adults and minors is a bad thing.

This would be a good candidate if the Wingspan Game would create an African Expansion.

I found this recently and the author features some really interesting blog posts about the geography of wildfire.
silver92bullet··on The tired you can't explain
I appreciate that you want to see if the techniques work before you promote those. I know many would just push a technique to get folks to buy something without actually testing it themselves.

So I like the work on this article to deep dive into some of the phenomena but it doesn't really give a way to cope with the exhaustion. I think knowing that would be more helpful so that the load of the career doesn't cause burnout.
