When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
@jascha it's the whole point of science.
The friction occurs because of who funds studies, etc. And that can be legitimate.
But science itself is just science.
Every conversation I have had where I encountered this, I made that point. And it sticks.
There is bias in some aspects of what is *presented* as science.
But that's not science.
Science is not marketing. So I point to that. 🙃

@jascha @chirpbirb they also tend to want to talk about what they *don't* know

@jascha Yeah. Have you ever tried talking to a scientist about their field of study? I don't particularly recommend it; once you get them going, it's damn near impossible to get them to shut up! 😉

@jascha Scientists probably don't want you to listen to flat earth no-vaccines guy, but that's because someone did the debunking 50 years ago back when that seemed worth doing.

Oh please someone read this paper. Anyone! Anyone with a heartbeat please read this paper. Here.
The assholes at Elsevier put it behind a paywall but here's a preprint you can share with anyone else who has a heartbeat.
Please for the love of God. Anyone read this!!!

@knowprose @jascha one of the reasons we founded BIML was to do science unencumbered by marketing pressure #MLsec

@noplasticshower @jascha One of the many reasons I follow you.
My own writing tends toward the same thing, but I am not a scientist. I just follow coherence. It takes me to interesting places. :)

Reminds me of that jokeChild to his biologist dad:
"Dad what's an electron?"Dad: "Why don't you ask your mom, she's the physicist, electrons are her wheelworks."
Child: "But I don't want to know *that* much about it."

@noplasticshower @jascha It's a marathon, that's for sure.
The Distraction economy keeps the good stuff out of people's heads. Been writing about that, though data sovereignty has been the more prominent thing in the past week. Wrapping that up today on knowprose.com.

If anything, scientists are wary of telling you because they know you’ll take whatever they say to the most illogical conclusion. -

@jascha they put all their shit online and are begging you to engage with their ideas, if you can credibly disprove something they will change their theories because of you!

@OctaviaConAmore @jascha @chirpbirb very chatty! 😅

@jascha while I agree that it is indeed an overly generalist statement, I don’t think you should dismiss everything someone says after they made a possible mistake.
Physicians often don’t want you to know about metaphysics. Biologists often don’t want you to know about endogenetics. Computer scientists don’t want you to understand quantum computers.
Scientists are people like everyone else, and they too will often deny what you say based on bias or pass you off like a hot potato.

C’è una firma. E la firma conta o forse no. Comunque la troverete, andando avanti. Dovrebbe essere la firma giusta (vera) ma intorno tutto può essere falso. Non far caso a me. Io vengo da un altro pianeta. Io ancora...Vedi l'articolo

I have this suspicion that the ATproto stack, at least the stuff from Bluesky, is heading towards "majority-vibecoded" but that's mostly just from seeing a lot of posts from the Bluesky eng team rather than me having spent much time in the codebase
Why is def hugely responsible for Bluesky/ATProto's design and if *he's* mostly letting Claude write 99% of his code, the rest of the eng team is likely to be heading in that direction too?

@snow tornando a meshtastic, non ho ben capito la cosa dei canali. Devo settare il canale della mia regione o quello "generale"?

@cwebber all of the "ethical" startup types are doing it

Atproto is centralized because every dev there seems to rely unhealthy on claude

@francina1909 Sono passata alla coppetta quando ho iniziato a pedalare, e neanche avevo mai usato un assorbente interno. È decisamente più igienica e pulita degli assorbenti. Detto questo, una cosa non esclude l'altra: l'inquinamento è provocato sia dalla guerra che dagli assorbenti usa e getta. E per fortuna esistono tanti modi per gestire le mestruazioni.
