To expand on this further: You can make a well balanced meal in less than an hour. You can make 5 well balanced meals by cooking 5 times the amount and dividing it up for 15% extra time Cooking takes hardly any time when you're smart a

As someone that moved to the US somewhat recently.. the portion sizes here still blow my mind. My girlfriend orders chinese food and makes 3-4 meals out of it + food is viewed strongly as entertainment here + everything is very noticably sw

I don't think you need to do the things the author says. Based on their definition I'm in both a physical and mental fat trap.. but I've maintained ~12% body fat and a healthy BMI my entire life. I also: - can gain weight,

are you saying that's a bad way to judge a model? Not sure why we'd want ones that choose bad snacks

Agnostic, at least as I was using it, was intending to mean 'who knows'. That's very different from a 50% possibility "You are a human brain, we know that an intelligence up to human intelligence can be physically reali

Some will be heavily curated, by those who care about quality. This is a lot slower to produce, requires some expertise to do right, so there will be far less of it The vast majority of content will be (is) the fastest and easiest to create

There's no evidence we're even on the right track to have human level intelligence so no, I don't think it's realistic to say that Counterpoint: our brains use about 20 watts of power. How much does AI use again? Does th

I think it's more nuanced than that. The original React model of UI = f(state) is pretty simple and solved the state management issue. Building your UI with function composition isn't a massive jump in complexity ..but then they k
