Ironic that even the downfall of a major competitor can't save other exchanges from their own mistakes

If the model gets as good as they strive for, its outputs would be indistinguishable from those of PHD level students. There would be no point in augmenting its results with human contributions

From what I understand from Dominicans, there is a strong animosity towards Haitians in the DR. A lot of it is racial, but also cultural.

You're strawmanning here. Parent commenter clearly meant healthy as in containing only "healthy" foods. If you eat 4,000 calories of brown rice, chicken and broccoli a day you will get fat. Colloquially, though, their diet wo

I don't take issue to that. I think using facial recognition paired with a database of naughty / nice individuals is going to pose a plethora of societal issues down the road. It is evocative of China's social credit system s

It's an accessible interface that has gone viral enough for non-technical students to catch wind of & use it.

AFAIK (not an expert) there are two common problems with nutritional research 1) Mechanistic data we don't fully understand the implications of. This basically means we observe mechanisms that we believe ought to have some effect on

Yeah, the trials were done with ~2 TBS of honey daily or around 128 calories. Could definitely see people going way above that or using low quality honey. YMMV on products like honey and olive oil based on the quality of the manufacturer

This is my recommendation on diet soda to people as well. The literature points to diet soda being a productive replacement for those currently drinking soda and desiring to lose weight. But the jury is still out on potential effects of die

Yup that would basically be my response lol. Could it be conceivable one or two lone actors in the CIA did it? Maybe? But on an organizational level the risk to "reward" is so high it just seems absurd to consider.

I wasn't aware that the belief he was paid by a powerful organization is regarded as absurd. I don't think that's silly. I do think it's far fetched to believe that the CIA as an organization orchestrated it. That was

Have seen this conspiracy theory propounded by several people now. Two things: 1) SBF refused to testify right before he was due to anyways: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/12/former-ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-f... 2)

Yes... that is why it is explicitly listed under conflicts of interest. For better or for worse, there isn't unlimited free capital to study things without vested interest. We should hope that despite influence, good scientists priorit

The reason this is different is because the fee does not go to Coinbase at all. It goes to the Ethereum network. If cash app could prove they got zero profit from a service fee that could be one thing. In this case, Coinbase can prove exact

I have to agree with this. While I don't like to victim blame usually, the VCs are too much in a position of power to truly be victims here. They absolutely could have pushed for more transparency or a board and likely would have smell

I think the main argument is whether to recline on flights, say, less than 5 hours in duration. If everyone is trying to sleep on a long overnight, most everyone would like to recline

Couldn't some goods in the basket be slightly negative while others are positive? For example if rent went down relative to last year's baseline but groceries, gas, etc were all very much up.

the tone here is a little uncalled for.

Some elements of the crypto space may not need to be regulated, but centralized exchanges should be regulated as hard as banks and should regularly undergo liquidity stress tests. If FTX does turn out to be insolvent, execs should be gettin

Wouldn't this apply to many hardware companies? And though I agree that they wouldn't have much hardware to sell in that case, their services business is still doing ~76B on an annual basis which is no joke.

Because most of Amazon's profits come from AWS (74%). So I would say it's more like comparing Google or Oracle to Apple than you think.

Had a coworker who was fired for this, though we found out about the second job after he was let go for performance issues. Especially as an engineer, this is just done out of greed and disregard for coworkers who may be counting on you. Ou
