I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...
I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding.
The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.

“Agent of the government empowered to use violence in its name to enforce its laws” is a pretty old invention, actually. This is what I’m talking about, this is just like magical thinking: you need *someone* to maintain and exercise the state’s monopoly on force. It’s literally unavoidable, sorry!
“we should simply not have cops” is a good solution tho. policing as a concept is a very recent invention in human history
Law Enforcement being a culturally chud profession is actually a huge problem in the near (surviving this admin & reasserting rule of law after) & long term (the actual governance problem of enforcing liberal laws) & solutions that aren’t “we should simply not have cops” are in pretty short supply

I dislike self-deprecating humour. While it can appear humble, it often masks self-hatred. Over time, it fosters complacency and a mindset of being inadequate, rather than encouraging action and growth.

So, I was skimming through the JavaScript edition of SICP, and I found this monstrosity. This is not idiomatic JavaScript in any way, and seems to be a direct translation from the original Scheme which used S-expressions.

We don’t need misleading charts to show that housing is in crisis.
The truth is absolutely enough. Use real wages, mortgage data, and a time-constant metric of work: Hours.
Clean code, real data, honest storytelling. That is how messaging needs to be done.

This is one of the most econ things ive ever seen (laudatory)
Men brain poisoned by the rationalist community: men are superior to women because we make decisions using data and evidence and not our emotions
Lady economist: I have looked at the data and it says there's little benefit to dating men
Men: no, not like that!

This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
