If every step of the supply chain needs 10% more then the consumer pays a lot more than 10% markup.

All those “bona fides” were self assessed. Pass. And the thing is, I am not in disagreeement that the hype has gotten ahead of the reality. But the rationale for a collapse has more to do with human and market dynamics than “LLMs hallucinat

I do wonder if Tesla put its resources towards crash avoidance instead of FSD, maybe we would be more enthusiastic. I don’t really need my car to automatically drive straight, I need it to have inhuman reflexes to make the instantaneous dec

This might be really neat, but apparently it's for people who already know what it is. The website does so little to explain it that it feels unwelcoming.

I'm not that trusting. I just think that if it came out that Alexa devices were recording outside of their wake word then it would do tremendous damage to the brand and they'd not want to risk it. I feel like the incentives are al

My kids have grown up with Alexa devices. They use them as speakers, to listen to Audible, and as ways to communicate with us. I've been under the belief that the devices do not spy on us, based on a few test articles I read. If I ever

I argue against this in that I don't think anyone was acting with such precision. This was an aggregate effect of money supply increasing dramatically. There would no doubt be a spike in prices upon the rollout of UBI, but maybe it wou

I don't think it matters where it gets put in terms of inflation. What we learned from the stimulus is that taken in aggregate, the population became less price sensitive because they had more money, and sellers felt the increased mone

I used to support UBI but after seeing the US stimulus money get socked away into savings and the stock market, leading to rising prices and inflation, I no longer support it. I think all it will do is raise the cost of nearly everything an

We don’t know how to talk about metabolic disease because we are afraid of offending people.

I am curious how they handle motion sickness, aka "vection" which we are so familiar with now because of VR. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4403286/ The basic rule is... don't acc

It's not easy. I missed once but struck gold the second time. I'm sorry you haven't felt supported. It's really hard when you don't feel like you can just be yourself.

This is a wonderful post and articulates something I've also struggled with over the years - and I'm much older than 16! To me, it can be distilled down to human decision making... how flawed we are in terms of cause/effect,

Sarno had ideas about the brain’s ability to restrict blood flow from areas of the body. His thinking was that it was specifically to cause pain, with the end result being a relief from emotional distress (due to distraction of the consciou

Yep, I also have recurrences. They coincide perfectly with stress. Now instead of thinking I am physically falling apart, I focus on the idea that I am emotionally falling apart. :) Works so much better!

You got me to upgrade to V2! They are running a 50% off deal that's pretty sweet. The channel editing so far looks like it's pretty ok?

I had some terrible back issues a few years ago. An MRI even showed I had a bulge in one of my discs. I did walk every day, and it helped a bit. I also tried a zillion other things to get over it. Now, I know people have all kinds of opinio

I'm a game developer and Affinity Photo is missing a couple key features which make it nearly useless for us. In particular, it doesn't have individual channel editing. This is sort of baffling because it's only a UX issue...

I would love to know if and how Adobe has obstructed a FOSS competitor to Photoshop (akin to Blender in 3D). There must be a good reason that nothing has emerged over the years. My guess is there are some features they get territorial over

Critics of this game have moved the goal posts so many times they are out of the stadium. Face it - Star Citizen exists. People play it, enjoy it, and pay for it. The devs are trying to make something crazy and huge. It is entirely on bran

Yes. I scanned the OP link for any mention of nutrition, the gut or microbiome and there was nothing. Such a disappointing oversight for a supposed expert on depression.

Yes, I felt the same way. It felt like Allen Iverson's "Practice' press conference. Just because you repeat your opinion over and over doesn't make for an argument.
