The resolution has declaratory power only but provides international backing to those countries that want to take additional steps against Israel.

Here's the full quote:

Case in point: in addition to having to pay a guy who he bet $5 million couldn’t prove him wrong $5 million after that guy proved him wrong, and after he went to court to try to avoid paying the money, Lindell will now have to pay some of that guy’s attorneys fees, which were incurred in court.

There's nothing technically wrong with it, it's just really awkwardly worded.

I mean yeah, not exactly new news. Although I have to make a correction:

Manifold is a startup that runs Manifund, a prediction market – a forecasting method that was the ostensible topic of the conference.

Manifold is the name of the prediction market. Manifold the company also runs Manifund, which distributes money to various EA efforts.

Also, "Manifest has no specific views on eugenics or race & IQ" does not give me confidence in Manifest's views on eugenics or race & IQ.

ChatGPT makes you a 10x developer, so using it for one year is like ten years of experience ^/s

Indie studios do in fact exist. I haven't bought a game from a major publisher since... uhh... well, I guess I bought Portal for $1 last year, does Valve still count as a major publisher?

From some searching around, it looks like the hole tilts as you stand on it. It doesn't look dramatic but it could definitely induce falls in people who are prone to such.

I thought, "1.4 billion pounds of cheese can't be a real number, right?" Turns out, it kinda is. 1.4 billion pounds (actually generally 1.45-1.5 billion) is the amount of cheese the USDA stores in cold storage warehouses across the US. And indeed, much of that seems to be in caves in Missouri. But any particular cave probably only stores a few million pounds, although getting specific numbers is rather difficult.

On the other hand, spontaneous generation was very much still a thing at this point, so a lot of the basic rules of the world around us were really not worked out yet

If you use the Japanese name of a show with a well-known English name while speaking English just to be more obtuse, I think that's fair to criticize.

Which comes out to about 1/7 of a person in that room being shot per year.

This is standard for how they do technical inspections. They can't check every rule on every car, so they check just a few important ones for every car (fuel, weight, etc) and then do random checks on a handful of cars each for others. The idea is to prevent it from being worthwhile to break the rule, while also requiring substantially fewer resources. That's probably also why the penalty is so steep: if it was a slap on the wrist that you had a small chance of being caught for, you might as well just always run out-of-spec.
