The Nazis agree.

The semites in question do not agree.

Fuck the Nazis.

When asking questions, I think it is polite to spell out initializations in the title.

People not in your field will read the title too, and would like to know if it is worth clicking to read the whole question or not.

Not sure, but I think "GTM" here means "Google Tag Manager".

As everywhere, immigration is not an issue for people who do not have to live in social/cheap rented housing in ghettos and have jobs that require a good education.

For the other half of societies, the half you did not meet in college, it is a problem and they are voting for racist parties because the other parties have not reduced immigration it and they think the racist parties will.

Wouldn't predators have worked out how to fake-announce themselves, from a different solar system to ones they occupy, and then destroy anyone who approached it and revealed their home systems ?

AFAICT, the problem in the UK is with too many people being allowed to stay for spurious reasons, not with people not being removed when they (legally) should be ?

New comment by damnitbuilds in "A study linked various SAT test scores to favorite bands"

damnitbuilds — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:19:16 +0000

So the widths of the labels come from the length of the name in them, not the spread of SAT scores they correspond to.

And I guess the position of the label is the average for people who say they like that band. Why didn't they plot the spread ?

And where is the data used to make this ?

Looks bogus.

... yet he has not handed back his Master's degree.

It's one thing to have (childish, misguided) principles, another thing entirely to inflict them on other people before looking at oneself.

How do we square this with claims that Claude has a high IQ?

I would love to see this repeated for other LLMs, with the same data and prompts.
