Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

yeah i noticed yesterday there's a link to (one of) Zack's blog(s) in SSC's sidebar.
so what precisely is Zack supposed to be good at in Rationality other than Blancharding?
Word count.
when you need to add an exponential notation option to wc
wc --tldrhttps://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/wc.c#n507
The word count variable is an
intmax_t, so assuming ISO C (it's GNU so probably not but whatever) it has to be at least C99 and thus support at least 64 bitlong long.Looking forward to the nine quintillion word LW posts. Wonder if I should submit a patch to make
wc(1)use GMP for future proofing purposes…
