Also that “speed up” is actually hiding “less compute used” which is a proxy for cost. Assuming this is 200% faster purely because it needs less compute, that should mean it costs roughly 1/3 as much to run for a 10% decrease in qualit

Your assumption that customers will not buy accessories until they have repaid the Klarna loan is a long way from certain. Loans like this also encourage customers to increase spend, because adding an extra few dollars (cents, etc) to you

I would imagine by the time you get to day 4 of drinking 4-5 litres of beer per night, you’d be disgusted by the idea of another beer. You have to build up to numbers like that.

I completely agree. But autism is what we say it is (until we understand better and find some kind of absolute test). A bacterial infection doesn’t care what we think it is. Anyway it feels almost like the crux of what you’re saying now is

Sounds like you might be over proving it. If you’re at a high altitude, or live in a warm place, or it just keeps happening, try knocking half an hour off your proving time, and keep going until it starts getting worse.

I wonder whether ChatGPT and the like use more en dashes in Finnish, and whether this is seen as a sign that someone is using an LLM? In casual English, both em and en dashes are typically typed as a hyphen because this is what’s available

A bacterial infection is an objectively verifiable condition. You can see the bacteria under a strong enough microscope. There’s no such definitive way to diagnose autism, it’s diagnosed based on the definition we came up with to describe a
