Novo Nordisk is a good company? News to me.
weirdmantis69··on I'm skeptical about efforts to revolutionize schooling
That's true. I'm frustrated for example in how they teach math at my kids school. They don't do rote memorization of how to multiply. No quizzes, no reciting... they teach the conceptual parts of it which is fine, but without memorizing I feel they will never have fluency. And my daughter never did get fluency in math now I'm drilling my younger son every day.

lmao. "religious nationalism"? What are you referring to here? The USA's new tighter immigration standards? What pray tell is China's immigration policy? Ignorance? Are you referring to perhaps San Francisco progressives eliminating enhanced schooling because it makes some students feel bad about themselves?

Fear? Oh I know, you are talking about how in blue states they can't even build simple housing never mind mega projects like high speed rail and that's why red states are acquiring population and capital at accelerating speeds.

weirdmantis69··on Does Employment Slow Cognitive Decline? Evidence from Labor Market Shocks
I mean, that just isn't true. There are amazon tribes today where they just send them down the river to die... your ideas are a disney-fied version of a false past that never existed.

I take it you haven't studied those cultures you deify in any great detail have you.

weirdmantis69··on Show HN: Brutalist Concrete Laptop Stand (2024)
I love concrete as a medium but that's got to be heavy af and I would manage to smack my elbow on it all the time as well as smash my coffee mug on it.
weirdmantis69··on What came after the 486?
Sadly still in the far future
weirdmantis69··on Goodbye to Sora
As opposed to the kardashians and real house wives and Chappell Roan?
weirdmantis69··on Show HN: Will my flight have Starlink?
Because your concern is not real. It wasn't a nazi salute period. You are seeing things. Get your eyes checked.
weirdmantis69··on Elon Musk pushes out more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters
lmao
weirdmantis69··on Elon Musk pushes out more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters
You wouldn't want to work for a genius? Probably the most significant person alive today?
weirdmantis69··on Asian governments roll out 4-day weeks, WFH to solve fuel crisis caused by war
Why don't we (Canada, America I guess) do this too?
weirdmantis69··on Ireland shuts last coal plant, becomes 15th coal-free country in Europe (2025)
Your link is from a disreputable source though. Their literal purpose is to gaslight people.
weirdmantis69··on Government grant-funded research should not be published in for-profit journals
The problem with communists always seem to be their math is ridiculously bad. 1 billion in profits to the journals seems like a rounding error in an industry with almost 1 trillion in annual spending.
weirdmantis69··on Qwen3.5 122B and 35B models offer Sonnet 4.5 performance on local computers
How much computer do you need to make them work like Sonnet 4.5 from claude but locally?
weirdmantis69··on Can Europe break free of Visa and Mastercard? MEPs stall digital euro
What about visitors like a Canadian coming to Europe for vacation? This is what in my view mastercard/visa fixes and any solution has to be basically a drop in solution for that.
weirdmantis69··on Warner Bros signs $110B deal with Paramount
Seems like they are overpaying a lot considering what Disney paid for marvel and Star Wars.
weirdmantis69··on How Neoliberalism Broke Britain (2023)
So you are saying it was basically immigration that broke Britain. Looks that way to me too.
weirdmantis69··on Danish government agency to ditch Microsoft software (2025)
It is way more ridiculous to ask USA to protect you from Russia when you are funding the Russian military with your oil purchases.
weirdmantis69··on AI-generated replies are a scourge these days
Seems like it would be relatively simple no? They control the app itself? Wouldn't it be trivial to put a signature to the app and see the typing speed, user actions, etc?
