I agree that openAI should be held with a certain degree of contempt, but refusing to acknowledge anything positive they do is an interesting perspective. Why insist on a one dimensional view? It’s like a fraudster giving to charity, they can be praiseworthy in some respect while being overall contemptible, no?
It could be D) messaging for current and future employees. Many people working in the field believe strongly in the importance of AI ethics, and being the frontrunner is a competitive advantage.
Also, E) they really believe in this. I recall a prominent Stalin biographer saying the most surprising thing about him, and other party functionaries, is they really did believe in communism, rather than it being a cynical ploy.
Not meaningful in what sense? Sure you’re right, if you mean in the sense of relevancy for the general public. But this definitely is meaningful as it relates to X and Threads relevancy to HN
This is a single Walmart and clearly dominated by outlier price swings. No, NPR didn’t make their own CPI. Surely there are other independent price baskets that actually attempt to do this, why choose this article, as interesting as it is?
I am not the one making the original assertion. I was pointing out that it relies on historically trustworthy statistics that the current administration is openly influencing.
Call the NPR methodology a canary or smoke test, if you will. Feel free to grab the brass ring if you want sources that you find more credible.
Really strange comment. You're offended by the implication that what we eat may impact our health?
Regarding the class comment, sure a access to some food is class based, but pretty much all westerners can afford basic "real food". I know because I've lived on minimum wage and could buy eggs, rice, beans, chicken thigh, etc.
Not the person you're responding to, but the thing that frustrates me isn't that they're saying to eat healthy, but that they're acting like that's the only thing we need to change, while actively deregulating pretty much everything else that also affects health.
Yes, obviously what we eat affects our health, I don't think that's ever been in dispute by any significant number of people (despite what the inbreds who love RFK Jr. seem to think), but part of the frustration is that they're acting that that can solely explain all chronic illnesses, ignoring things like air pollution (which they are actively deregulating).
Oh, also, RFK Jr. telling people to eat at Five Guys because they fry their fries in beef tallow is really dumb and is likely to lead to worse health outcomes.
I mean I guess I didn’t say it explicitly but they are saying “eat better” instead of taking medicine and doing it while medicine becomes increasingly less accessible by most Americans. So yeah. Also not offended at all it’s just patently stupid and an abdication of the responsibility of the government. The government regulates and facilitates giving out medicine and if what you’re saying is true it doesn’t need to dictate to people how to eat since it also refuses to subsidize most people’s meals.
It was only good as a way for the British to get into the north for fur trade, since the French controlled Canada/New France (and the St Lawrence/Great Lakes waterways)
Static linking will do that. Imagine you have 400mb of binary objects your app depends on. Libraries your company uses for app analytics, SSO, 2FA, Corporate service bus api, etc.
You statically link all those for your 50mb Swift UI app and bam, you’re in the 700mb range.
You'd be surprised what ends up dragged into where when you have a build system that makes it easy. Just look at the npm.js mess (and what kind of things ended up depending on what kind of other thing) if you want an example.
Is it “negative” though? I ran it through this model and it gave 99.9% positive. (You tell me if this model is substantively different from what you used.)
Hi, if you find the time, please reach out to the email in my bio with the methodology and dataset you used. Did you only test one post or a whole set? Would be interesting to compare the setup. Thanks!
