jfc, @thedailybeast.bsky.social how are you going to write “The Daily Beast has chosen not to publish the image.”

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Three numbers every American should know today.

Bezos paid Trump $40 million for the 'Melania' documentary.

Now, Bezos saves $8 billion because of Trump's corporate tax cuts.

While 17 million Americans lose health care.

Corruption, plain and simple.

Carl, perhaps the shoe is on both feet here 🧐? If you took two seconds to look at my profile, you would see it has nothing to do with dogshit Instagram. Indeed, it seems that Instagram isn’t the only who wastes people’s time…

Jon, I actually hate IG/Facebook/Big Tech. If you took 3 seconds to look at my profile, you would probably know that. Nonetheless, there is nothing I can do for you. Good luck.

@studiogently.bsky.social I do not promote any AI profiles—or any profiles at all—so you must be mistaken.

One thing I do admire about Smurf culture is how each one has an equal and unique role in their society where some of them are actual jobs like Housebuilder Smurf, but then there’s a guy just called Jerk Smurf whose job it is to be a jerk and that makes me feel like I have value as well

SHORTENED ABSTRACT: How should we update these probabilities when we discover new evidence? An epistemological theses that has been utilized in these debates is evidentialism, which claims that our doxastic states should reflect our evidence—and nothing more. So far debates have mostly focused on updating imprecise probabilities by a version of conditionalization. Instead, I consider the issue using Kyburg’s system of imprecise probability, where conditionalization occurs only as a special case. I provide the first detailed discussion of the circumstances under which Kyburg’s system avoids inertia, which I reveal to be very broad. I also argue for its general compatibility with evidentialism. I end with an irenic point: this system and the standard ‘imprecise Bayesianism’ are not entirely rivalrous. At least from the Kyburgian side, there are computational virtues of imprecise Bayesianism that mean it might often be the best way to revise our beliefs as we acquire new evidence.

What worries me a lot is that I think a permanent and irreparable gulf has opened up in society, because a sizeable faction has adopted an entirely new metaphysics based entirely on intentionally gaming viral reach. But it's more than that, they're not trying to discover the nature of reality>>
