Why might moderators remove a scientific comment from a news subreddit?
Irrational anti-AI prejudice, maybe?

‘Scandalous, irrational and irresponsible’: French beekeepers’ fury at lifting of pesticides ban
Allowing use of pesticides to combat crop-ruining disease will kill bees and reduce harvests, union says

Of course it didn't make a difference, but my irrational, non-specific worrying was vindicated yesterday. Received some very bad news about a close friend. Also, my dog got into something and is having butt issues now. Trying to find some humor in the way I'm telling myself "I told you so!"

If your uptime is an irrational number, it almost always contains infinite 9s •somewhere• in the decimal expansion. Just saying

On the sharpness of Denjoy's theorem

Abstract: Let $\omega$ be a concave modulus of continuity that is weaker than Lipschitz, meaning $\omega(t)/t$ diverges as $t$ approaches $0$. We construct a diffeomorphism of the circle with irrational rotation number, in the regularity class $C^{1 \omega}$, with a wandering interval. This construction implies that Denjoy's 1932 theorem is sharp in regularity, unless additional restrictions are imposed on the rotation number. The construction in the special case $\omega(t) = t\log(1/t)$ settles an open problem dating back to Herman's 1979 work on circle diffeomorphisms, which gave constructions for $\omega(t) = t\log(1/t)^{1 \varepsilon}$ for every $\varepsilon > 0$. Our examples arise as limits of periodic circle diffeomorphisms with rapidly converging rotation numbers.

I have a theory that MAGA Republicans adore & worship #Trump just like diehard sports fans root for a bad football team. (Jets, Cardinals, Raiders, take your pick.)
Both are self-defeating & irrational. Both are notoriously poorly run organizations that consistently make bad decisions... but both fan groups passionately & blindly JUST. DON'T. CARE.
The problem is one is…

I will go on record as still backing Arne Slot, which for many will brand me as a heretic. I can live with that.
I don't always agree with Tomkins, but his piece today was excellent and I fully agree with the vast majority of his arguments.
I would go even further, suggesting the failure (not Slot's) to land a proper CDM, has been a hole below the waterline for two seasons.

As always, I wonder what the hell investors are thinking. But I always keep remembering the same thing:
- Investment isn’t about •actual• value, except maybe asymptotically. Investment is about correctly predicting what others will •perceive• as valuable.
- When some asset is hot but sketchy on the fundamentals, it doesn't matter whether some people know it or everyone knows it. It's just a game of chicken: just don't be the last to bail.
- Thus the old saying about betting against ill-founded popularity: the market can stay irrational a lot longer than you can stay solvent.

#Obit: Alan Greenspan kept interest rates too low for too long which significantly contributed to the housing bubble. He did have that great line about "irrational exuberance" of markets, though the man loved the stock market. Like, a lot.
