That’s true globally, but in the US, iPhones are 60% of the smartphone market. In the US, iPhone users are also younger, more affluent, more educated, and I suspect more likely to fly than Android users. iOS users also dominate in app spend

According to the post, this result was first derived for gluons in a previous paper. That paper was provided to the model as context, and then the model was asked to derive an analogous result for gravitons, which presumably has not been do

To be fair, productivity and writing tools are a better fit for LLMs than a lot of other use cases.

Exactly right. It's totally plausible that someone could build a mental health chatbot that results in better outcomes than people who receive no support, but that's a hypothesis that can and should be tested and subject to strict

I feel this way about some of the more extreme effective altruists. There is no room for uncertainty or recognition of the way that errors compound. - "We should focus our charitable endeavors on the problems that are most impactful, l

As the others have mentioned, the goo.gl step isn't necessary for linkjacking, but it is a reputational risk for Google.

It may help prevent linkjacking. If an old URL no longer works, but the goo.gl link is still available, it's possible that someone could take over the URL and use it for malicious. Consider a scenario like this: 1. Years ago, Acme Corp

They're not explicitly asked for, but everywhere I've worked that's tested them has found that they improve conversion rates.

There's a few reasons. The biggest one, IMO, is that it lets non-technical users change things quickly without having to go through the engineering team. Obviously there are limits to that, but in many cases, a product or marketing tea

But presumably you could have built it before, just slower, which is the point. For now, that speed-up just looks like a win because it’s novel, but eventually the speed-up will be baked into people’s expectations.

Normally, if you compile the same code twice on the same machine, you'll get the same result, even if it's not truly reproducible across machines or large gaps in time. And differences between machines or across time are usually s

The biggest ones are the ones that are going to cost $70-80, which is what we’re talking about.

There are some people who make gaming their whole identity, and when something happens that they don’t like, they act like gaming is a fundamental right instead of a luxury.

Did you feel that way in 2005 when the Xbox 360 was released and $60 was the new standard? Because $60 in 2005 has the same buying power as $97.41 today. This game, in real terms, is cheaper than Xbox 360 games were.

I don't necessarily think Ive is going to succeed, but if you're going to make a lot of bets, taking one bet on someone who succeeded before seems pretty reasonable. He wouldn't be the first person to rise to great heights, f

That’s not cynical at all. They’re not saying it’s wasted effort. “Sunk cost” just means that you can’t get that time and money and effort back, so go where the evidence leads you today, even if it strays from your original vision.

The article you linked says that 60-75% of Anthropic's revenue comes from API calls (which would include things like Cursor).

That's not the simplest possible explanation. The simplest explanation is that he did this because he believes in it. Trump has been saying the exact same thing about tariffs since the 1980s—there's video of him talking to Larry K

It’s not like I said it was 100%. 55/45 or even 67/33 is pretty noisy and will fail a lot. Still beats 50/50.

In the case of Airbnb, wouldn't that show up in the listing's reviews, requests for refunds, etc. and ultimately drive down the listing's LTV? Nobody leaves reviews on an ad, and I imagine that very few users report inappropr

My point is that the validity and soundness of the inverse proposition has no bearing on the validity and soundness of the original proposition, so you’ve proposed a meaningless experiment. I also think that your hypothesis that voting and

In addition to what everyone else has said, if Europe goes through with the new "Big Tech tax" and/or tariffs on digital services, AWS would presumably take a big hit.

Yep, that's the talking point. Howard Lutnick has been out there saying this. For better or worse, though, voters don't judge politicians based on the impact their policies have in 10-20 years. They're going to judge these ta

"If p then q" does not imply "If q then p." Besides, there's a ton of easy ways to beat 50/50 odds without explicitly asking who they voted for. You can ask whether they graduated from college, and that will ge

America doesn’t do it for political and cultural reasons. It has absolutely nothing to do with scale, economics, or America’s “inability” to do it. Americans (unfortunately imo) have consistently chosen not to do it by not electing politici

I agree that an observational study cannot prove that the reduction in these cases is due to the rise of cashless payments. The researchers themselves say it is “multifactorial.” However, that has absolutely nothing to do with “sample size.

by MajimasEyepatch 2y ago
Is sample size even relevant here? If they’re working with NHS data, presumably they have pretty reliable population data (i.e. not randomly sampled) to work with. And regardless, even if it was a sample, I don’t see how a sample of thousan
