The person nominated by that company as their age verification guardian? Or the CEO. Or both. The defence for either could be that they took reasonable steps to know what was going on in their companies or were actively mislead. This isn’t

You might not like this law (and I'm agnostic on it) but I think the principle that individuals should be held accountable when laws are broken is important. Otherwise we just have token fines and corporate non-compliance because the r

Even if the current subsidy is 50%, gpt would be cheap for many applications at twice the price. It will determine adaption, but it wouldn’t prevent me having a personal assistant (and I’m not a 1%er, so that’s a big change)

Even in the loosest sense, I struggle to see how the uk is any more theocratic than any other European country. The lords spiritual have minimal practical influence over policy. And while I’m a republican, I don’t think the monarch has much

The uk is a lot of things, but theocratic really isn’t one of them. If you’re referring to the House of Lords then you don’t really understand our government. The general population is as atheist as anywhere outside of Scandi countries.

For a sense of scale here. One guy had brought a bag of sex toys to a first date. Another called (a different woman) a “dirty bitch” when she declined a second date. Amongst my female friends, I’ve become aware only in my late 40s just how

From memory I think those numbers for men include those in same sex relationships. Also worth noting that men are much more likely to be physically or psychologically attacked by other men than they are by women. I’m not minimising the ide

You’re worrying about the wrong thing here. The fact that so many men do these kind of creepy behaviours, and that men who do them are largely indistinguishable from men you meet every day, means that from women’s perspective “men do creepy

They can, but rates of domestic violence are so high that it seems reasonable to want to do something about it. I dated online a few years ago and met my partner. In that time I met 4 women for dates who talked about really scary behaviour

But the signs are not good that the US will become more trustworthy again any time soon. The only back pressure on trump seems to be MAGA conspiracy theorists who look - if it’s possible - even less reliable than trump.

I think Trump has guaranteed that European countries have ended all real intelligence sharing pretty much unilaterally.

We should be clear that what is today termed extreme left in the uk and us is I) historically pretty centrist and ii) pretty normal in most of Europe. It’s the right that are shifting, not the left.

Should we include an equivalent analysis of the declines in cognitive function after 70. In my experience they are much more marked than any deficits teenagers may have.

Let’s see how well Germany deals with afd in the next 10 years before getting too complacent about European consensus politics.

The thing is, drinking to excess, smoking, eating ‘badly’ just aren’t pleasures at all if you don’t do them all the time. It’s hard to take the perspective, but there is more to life!

You don't need to take that much. LD50 is surprisingly close to the normal dose, and possible to do if you don't realise that cold remedies contain it (or that aminocetophen and paracetamol are the same thing!)

> But in most cases, at a startup, you should be going after wins that are way more impactful and end up having p-values lower than 0.05, anyway. This was the part I was quibbling with. The size of the p value is pretty much irrelevant u

Or collect some data and see if the net effect is positive. It’s possibly worth collecting some data though to rule out negative effects?
170.
by bigfudge 1y ago
The idea you should be going after bigger wins than .05 misses the point. The p value is a function of the effect size and the sample size. If you have a big effect you’ll see it even with small data. Completely agree on the Bayesian point

Will this apply to Azure OpenAI model APIs too?

I don’t think it’s weird to worry about this sort of stuff, although I think trello would be quite far down the list. I’d worry about the impact of Ms being weaponised first.

I think you mean one and three times more expensive. 3 orders of magnitude is 1000 times more expensive!

But this is not comparing apples to apples. Smoking weed in moderation is probably fine too. The trouble is criminalising it means you can essentially only buy the weed equivalent of cask strength moonshine, and nobody knows how to mix a ni

They are meaning the same thing. The original comment pointed out that people’s qualitative description and mental model of the 95% interval means they are overconfident… they think 95 means ‘pretty sure I’m right’ rather than ‘it would be

That isn’t being validated though. That would involve actually listening and understanding your problem.

It also has the unfortunate resonance of being the word for a collaborator in concentration camps.

The US already had pretty favourable trade deals with most of the world. The trade deficit wasn’t because of tariff barriers to US goods overseas.

Brexit is going to look like a minor bump compared to this. Even the stupid deal the UK negotiated didn’t try and seal the borders to imports.

Surely a brain drain of liberal arts professors is part of the plan though? Will be interesting to see engineers/pharma/mathematicians also leave. US doesn’t look like a nice place to be in the next few years so perhaps they will.
