@PennyFarringt14 @DrJBhattacharya Science and Medicine had little to nothing to do with this. The fear mongering campaigns in Britain were planned and implemented by "behavioral scientists" (read: psychologists) who admit to having become "drunk with power" as they manipulated the public will.

It was a PsyOp.

@PennyFarringt14 @DrJBhattacharya Real scientists and physicians who spoke out against the campaigns of misinformation were silenced on social media and, thanks to the lockdowns, unable to meet in person.

@PennyFarringt14 @DrJBhattacharya Here in America, some of us did some background checks on some of the "scientists" who shared their "knowledge" with us on Twitter.

2000: A Christian Professor william campbell declared to the world that the Qur'an is false, Islam is false,and proved it and found 30 errors in the Quran.
2001: No Muslim came to answer him.
2002: No mufti of Islamic countries, Mufti, Aalim, Shaykh came to answer him.🧵

2003: No ulama came from Madina University, Al azhar, Deoband and Barelvi to answer him.
2004: No Muslim responded online.

2005: Ahmed Didat died.

2006: The one who had hope died. (Rumor!)🧵

2006: With this, he started writing books for Islam with all the slanders of that Christian professor against Islam.
2006:
Spot: India 🇮🇳
A man came from Hindu majority country India. A Dr. by profession. This is his identity. Accepted his challenge for sake of Islam.🧵

1) The current Russian disinformation campaign appears to be headed towards this goal: Creating challenges to the legitimacy of the election and widespread civil unrest if Trump loses. I observed some things regarding the Hurricane Helene disinformation. Let’s begin⬇️

2) The Hurricane Helene disinformation campaign accomplished this:
A) It was accepted and believed by large numbers of Americans. So much so, President Biden had to say something.
B) It created wide distrust of federal govt institutions. Especially FEMA.

Now about that⬇️

3) In Item B, not only did it create distrust of govt, but it successfully ascribed sinister motives to it. With that, it could next advocate civil unrest and armed rebellion. Which it did. So Russian operators here learned what can be done regarding the election. And⬇️

This post is fine, reasonable posture.

...but if I may piggyback off some of the numbers in the post...

I want to repeat what the post says but with slightly different emphasis which leads to a large difference in framing.

https://twitter.com/awealthofcs/status/1845094855560638657

For example, it talks about people being in the top 5% of income or wealth being disappointed and you'd be better off having going in with lower expectations.

When I think the harsh but true reality is being in top 5% when you measure against the whole population just...

isn't that special.

When I was a kid rich was like Robin Leach stuff. It felt totally unattainable. And you know what it, it is. Rich as defined by its day is unattainable.

Of course someone will say "actually it is attainable" and my argument is...

@jabullani123 @authenticme84 @StephenKing @elonmusk You Ds ALWAYS SAY the SAME things when you have no good words to respond with!! "Seek help," whiney babies that you are, that's all you have to say, & then you just try & criticize people using words to down them. So it's my turn: "whiney baby!" You won't even say who you ...

@jabullani123 @authenticme84 @StephenKing @elonmusk ...v0t€d for in 2o2o!!! You are ashamed of who you v0t€d for, & now your favorite canidate is one that the people of the USA didn't v0t€ for in the pr!mar!€s! 🙄 You must be delusional to not understand what's going on in the US, or your just simping for the left! Are you...

ChatGPT can save you 10+ hours/week.

But 90% of people don't know how to write good prompts.

The 9 most powerful techniques:

(1/7)

1. Communicate the Why
2. Explain the strategic context
3. Clearly state your objectives
4. Specify the key results (desired outcomes)
5. Provide an example or template

(2/7)

6. Apply the thinking hats technique
7. Set constraints and limitations
8. Provide step-by-step instructions
9. Explain a specific technique (the Internet is often wrong)

It’s time for another thread! Today, we’re exploring spare SPG and towed gun barrels in Russian storage bases and looking into what’s been happening there since the beginning of the war. I would like to share with you my observations.

To start, Russian storage bases became flooded with equipment after military reforms in the 2010s. Vehicles had to be stored and organized. During this period, many SPGs and towed guns were disassembled for spare parts that remained in storage bases.

Here’s a quick 2010-2021 time-lapse of the 94th Arsenal to show how it took a while before things became organized. This is true for every base I’ll cover in this thread.

@EsheruKwaku If you know anything about EU/US & Z—ist settler colonialism—you know that w/out Hezbollah—politically & militarily, Lebanon would NOT exist.

Hezbollah IS Lebanon—T/ONLY ppl repping Lebanon, Lebanese interests, politics government, security & ppl

1/

@EsheruKwaku IS HEZBOLLAH & EVERY LEBANESE CITIZEN & THOSE OF US IN T/DIASPORA KNOWS IT

T/Lebanese standing army has BEEN WEAK b/c US bought a puppet Lebanese government that then centered itself around
Z—ist Israeli-US policy.

And now b/c Lebanon/Hezbollah (who has teeth)

2/

@EsheruKwaku won’t agree to forsake Palestinians nor yield on what t/vast majority of the internat’l community calls for as dictated by internat’l law—Z—ist Israel/Netty Pot/US intend to and are attempting to destroy/genocide Lebanon & the Lebanese ppl

ord 0.21.0 is out!

If ord 0.20.1 is working for you, you can probably skip this release!

We forgot to update the database schema version in the last release, but didn't. This can lead to an issue where running ord 0.20.1 with an old database crashes.

In any case, here is the one new feature. 🧵

github.com/ordinals/ord/r…

@raphjaph has been diligently working on a BIP-322 library in Rust, bip322.rs, and added `ord verify`, a command to verify BIP-322 signatures.

github.com/ordinals/ord/p…

ord can't actually produce BIP-322 signatures yet, but when it can, you'll be able to sign a message with an address holding inscriptions or runes, to prove you are the holder of those assets.

Lots that I agree with in this great essay and school of futuristic thought. Here are some highlights for me focusing on the theory of change around core science progress: 🧵

The framing in terms of marginal returns to intelligence rings true to me, and I talk about this here
longitudinal.blog/2023/01/10/gen…

In terms of the other "factors of production" that become limiting when intelligence is abundant, the right raw datasets seem key. Dario talks a lot about how AI can assist in the invention of the next generation of techniques like expansion microscopy that make data generation easier and cheaper (and we have FROs working on this already), but one still has to do pretty big projects to collect the right data. For AlphaFold, it was the Protein Data Bank. Today we really need whole mammal connectomes
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32946777/
(molecularly annotated cc @E11BIO)
and cell observatories
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39112799/
and more, and we aren't limited by AI in getting them, just by focused effort.
