I’ve seen the advantages firsthand. The test guys would drive across town and pick up some chips hot off the fab, put them on the scope under various conditions, and then be pushing updates in a day or two. The designer could actually sit

I’ve found the interaction between memory and sycophancy to be a major issue. I was trying to help deal with a difficult and confusing medical issue, and based on some lab tests, GPT had determined it was likely condition X. I had also as

I started walking to school at age 7 in the mid 80s. Granted it was only three blocks and there was a crossing guard for the busy street. At my kids school there’s a crossing guard too, but you hardly ever see a kid crossing without their

I completely agree. That said when I was a kid there was always a kid in class with a cast or a sling for their collar bone, and these days you hardly ever see it.

Me too. One thing I noticed in the 2000s was kids being more and more restricted and then they started getting drivers licenses later, living with their parents after college, etc. It felt as if parents thought that when their kid turned

So that's an 8% drop in two years. Put another way, 13% of people who drank alcohol in 2023 no longer do in 2025. That seems like a fast and dramatic change to me, but I guess it depends on your perspective.

It's such a huge drop in one year, you have to wonder how much of it is Ozempic.

You’re just shooting the messenger. The insurance companies don’t really make huge profit margins. There are also many mutual insurance companies that are non-profit. If they’re raising rates dramatically it’s because the risk is higher.

I think that's the trick. These university admissions committees are essentially choosing the ruling class for the next generation. What makes a good ruling class depends on more than just test scores and grades, so admissions commit

I'd argue that the insurers are a big part of the problem, but not for the reason you state. Their profit is capped as a percentage of revenues by law (Obamacare). In order to get more profits, they have to increase costs, so it&#x27

Yeah it may be that previous training data, the model was given a strong negative signal when the human trainer told it it was wrong. In more subjective domains this might lead to sycophancy. If the human is always right and the data is a

This. We don’t have the shipbuilding capacity to replace our current navy as it wears out. We are living in a twilight period while our adversaries build like it’s the 1960s.

Expectations are a factor, but also practicality. Back then you could get a decent job with a high school education or even less. If you had a good job, you could afford a house and a car with one income. My uncle worked in the GM plant f

In the baby boom generation it was pretty normal to be married, have a (small) house, and a kid or two by 26-30 or so. From the families I know of that era, usually they had a lower end car and probably just one for the family. This seems

Under certain circumstances you can price shop for hospitals. For certain types of procedures, especially self pay ones like elective or cosmetic ones, the market works fairly decently. There are other circumstances, that I recently dealt

by cameldrv 1y ago
Just because a hospital is non profit doesn't mean it's "socialized." A lot of places have county or state hospitals, but most non profit hospitals were originally started by a religious or community organization, or a

We shouldn’t have for profit hospitals.

That was a long time ago and it was a Polar watch with a chest strap. These days I use a Garmin watch, but you could just as well use a Fitbit or an Apple Watch or a heart rate strap and your regular phone. Honestly I don't even look

This was exactly my experience years ago. I tried and failed to make a running habit several times until I got a heart monitor. When I finally did, I figured out that the pace I thought was what I “should” be running at was actually putti

This. The iPhone was a huge success because even without any apps, the web browser, phone, music, and maps made it a very useful device on its own. The Vision Pro is mostly screen mirroring natively and for most people that’s not compelli

The strange part psychologically is that saying it lasts 10,000 years somehow seems worse and more unmanageable than say cadmium or arsenic which last forever.

The funny thing is that YouTube has ushered in arguably the golden age of DIY. If your appliance fails you can very often fix it fairly easily. Plus, you get the satisfaction of fixing it yourself and you get to strut proudly as you tell

I'm not going to rent from Hertz anymore if they do this. If you've ever rented a car, most rental cars have a number of scratches like this one. If they're charging the customers to repair every little scratch, does that me
