He's got a habit of self aggrandizing, antagonism, and deception in an effort to promote himself and his brand, I worry that his explanations are designed to maximally benefit him, rather than to maximally explain the topic. He's

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a book that would cover the underlying ideas behind LLMs? Google ends up giving me a lot of ads, and ChatGPT is vague about specifics as per usual.

Er, no. Culture isn’t one specific thing, of which you either have or lack. Our culture can be a rich one and also not value the things the IA represent.

Shit on the US all you like, but any country could step up to save the IA… This isn’t an American problem, it’s a drawback to the economic system the globe has adopted.

You end up missing Django's ORM when you can't use it, as well. I've tried my best to recreate the experience with Prisma in JS but it took me awhile to get to a place where I felt like I wasn't duplicating schema...

It's in quotes because it's not actually innovative, in every case (so far) it's an NIH instance.

Right, my thinking here is that the dream of running away from the very society that granted you the freedom to run away seems like you're not "paying it forward" enough, to enable others to have the freedom you'd be tak

I'm the lead engineer at one of these and you nailed it. If I catch anyone "innovating" we have a talk about what it is they're working on to make sure it's part of our core business. It very rarely is. I probabl

There are zero credible peer-reviewed journals that publish the idea that height or any other genetic traits are attributable to a single "racial group", as the biological concept of "race" does not exist. So no, you hav

Your first sentence and your second sentence are profoundly unaware, and I find that kind of funny. You made a claim, then got pissy about being asked to cite it, and are now asking me to cite something instead, as if you hadn't jus

Yeah, we agree then. I just wanted to make it clear that the racial arguments in explanation of this study aren't going to hold water.

We've already more or less entirely ruled out genetics as a factor in cultural diversity, so there's no need to, again, try to control for it here.

Fair, Pygmy genetics are minorly distinct. No other group is, and unless you're suggesting the urban Pygmy population exploded to account for these changes, it's irrelevant.

Except those groups didn’t just move into cities recently, so even if that were genetically true (it’s not), it wouldn’t explain the change.

Height is a quantifiable value heavily influenced by genetics, race is not even a biological concept amongst humans.

There is no meaningful genetic variance in height between cultures, so there’s no need to control for it. Or are you suggesting that non-genetic cultural factors could be at play here too? Possibly!

Hey GPT-5, write the code implementing a limiter designed to prevent the abuse of AI by bad faith actors without stifling positive-intent activity in any way. It goes both ways!

Yeah, seems like the real problem is the desire to clear the backlog. You can have a bucket, just don't expect it to ever empty.
