I recently learned that this idea of the responsibility of a business as being to maximize shareholder value is kind of recent, and that in the 50s and 60s, in the US, they actually applied a stakeholder capitalist idea, where the purpose o

Not just less in that sense, but also, they are no longer focused on growth, so the question is, how do we maintain the current offering but lower the cost of operating it. You need less people to maintain, and by losing people you also red

Well, she resigned in protest of the entire newspaper becoming an opinion piece. But the idea that news is without bias/opinion is a bit controversial. They have limited space, what they choose to report on and not, promote, etc. are a

Is that a temporary state, until both powers converge, as is happening now?

Europe now has access to a model R1, which is as good as the best US model o1, but for free. This is because of competition.

You said a lot of controversial things. I'll just zoom in on the last bit: > I have the impression that EU is doing everything possible to keep us, European citizens, behind, just mere spectators in this tech war. We are already irr

No. AI learns to predict reasons, and doing so as it predicts the answer improves its accuracy at predicting the answer. In summary, even though they are called "reasoning" models, they are still based on prediction and pattern ma

I think I'm missing your point? You still want to enjoy doing math yourself? Is that what you are saying? So you equate "Can AI do math in my place?" with "Can AI drink and watch TV in my place?"

> The ultimate answer is that it doesn't matter that much who controls the means of production, as long as we have access to its fruits. That mattered a lot in communist places, we saw it fail. Same thing with most authoritarian reg

In free democracies, politicians are elected representatives, not rulers. They are accountable to voters through regular elections. Power is distributed across multiple branches/institutions. Citizens have protected rights and freedoms

In a free democracy, I think Progressives see the ruling class as those in a position to influence democratic rule with an outsized influence compared to 1 person, 1 vote. And that are those with money, or with too much centralized media po

I'm skeptical of these benchmarks. I mean, look at the problem it's solving? I'm sorry, this is our benchmark of AGI, it will never fly with the common person when someone claims AGI, and all it did was fill a grid of pixels.

by didibus 2y ago
All the benchmarks provide substantial scaffolding and specification details, and that's if they are zero-shot at all, which they often are not. In reality, nobody wants to spend as much time providing so much details or examples just

I feel that will depend on what you prefer eating to some extent no? I admit carbs, especially simple ones, can leave you hungry. But when you calorie count, you really start realizing how killer fats are. A slice of cheese, the oil or butt

That would reinforce my causal suggestion no? We have two places that fat shamed, one got fat, one stayed lean. That tells us fat shaming doesn't seem to be a factor in getting fat or not. But the place that has low level of obesity st

I think it's a matter of tact, that not all doctor will have equally. How they approach the topic, how compassionate they are when doing so, and how much they pester you about it.

That's fair. I admit I am not envious of the Bay Area, because I've heard what you say about the cultural desert. When I think of what I'm envious, I think LA, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Long Beach, etc.

I feel it's just jealousy, and I don't even live there, but I'm envious. It's a great place, the nature, the climate, the coast. Every time I visit I think to myself, why do I not live here? I can't think of many mo

I know a few people who lost weight and got super fit out of body positivity movements. In general, the body positivity movement I've seen is about respect, encouragement, and support. It's not about encouraging bad habits, but be

> not even wanting your doctor to talk about it There's been a lot of misdiagnosis due to doctors just thinking it's a weight issue. I think that's one of the reason people have an issue with doctor's handling of weig

America got fat from a culture of fat shaming. So like, we know that doesn't work. Or at least this is not how I see the cause/effect. To me, it appears that being fat was unacceptable and shameful culturally, but everyone still g

I still feel like the root causes are not well known. Blaming sugar is the current trend, but this article talks about weight, American have a fat heavy diet as well, which is very high in calories. Sure, cutting our sugar helps you lose we

My first thought as well. I feel there's a catch I'm not seeing, someone tells me I'm going to get ETF returns for only 12$ a year, no year over year percentage cost of any of it? Seems like this can only work up to a point w

I'm getting confused about the word "agent". They just mean an AI model? I don't see any level of agency here, it doesn't seem to connect to any API or such thing. I'm also a bit confused how this differs from

Right, but you're thinking as someone who has a vision for the image/video. Think from someone who is needing an image/video and would normally hire a creative person for it, they might be able to get away with AI instead. Th

I understand what you are saying, but this is also historically how authoritarian regimes are enshrined, by persuading people in misleading or corrupted ways. I feel your attitude is a bit defeatist. I think there are mechanisms that can wo
