The paper was published in 2020, wonder what spurred author to post about it now

Since this cat is Bolivian, they would be jaguar spots, rather than leopard ones.

The conquistadors referred to the jaguars as "tigers" - they certainly aren't lions - and that custom stuck around for long enough for this to become a tiger cat!

The issue with this visualization is that it's not clear what the minutes are supposed to represent. Does 10 seconds to midnight imply 95% odds of nuclear annihilation within the next year?

The bulletin needs to perform a retrospective analysis to determine how good their predictions were in the past. As things stand it's amusing to see how their increments need to get smaller and smaller to avoid striking midnight.

Hard to take a publication seriously when its content is editorialized to this degree. Even the title is trying to impose itself onto the reader.

Maybe you can't download their weights, but you can literally try out their products right from their homepage. What's your point?

Did you reach your 500 karma yet ;)

It’s interesting to draw parallels from the Cold War to today, especially when they are so on the nose.

It's important to remember that modern social media is a complete assault on your dopamine receptors. If you take a look at your feed, a vanishingly small amount of the content Facebook belches up is created by your friends. Instead you're shown content that you're likely to interact with.

That's not to mention that people use social media as a substitute for personally reaching out to friends.

This reminds of an old joke told to all undergraduate economists:

A hundred-dollar bill is lying on the ground. An economist walks past it. A friend asks: "Didn't you see the money there?" The economist replies: "I thought I saw something, but I must've imagined it. If there had been $100 on the ground, someone would've picked it up."

I think you misinterpreted the graph, telegram has significantly fewer monthly active users than any of the other messaging services listed on the graph.
