Ignoring the actual poor quality of this write-up, I think we don't know how well GenAI is going to be honest. I feel we've not been able to properly measure or assess it's actual impact yet. Even as I use it, and I use it ev

One thing I think we should better emphasize is that it's best to avoid foods that are bad for you, than to eat foods that are good for you. If you can't do both, you should focus on cutting out bad foods over eating healthier foo

I think generally people are optimizing for health outcome and longevity, not peak athletic performance at your prime age. But also, I've seen people often assume vegetarian or vegan diets are "healthy". But many people in In

The only difference from the previous guidance is that it's suggesting eating more meat and dairy, which would come at the expense of veggies, legumes, nuts and seeds. To be honest, I don't totally disagree from a practical angle.

Is it? The change in recommendation is to have less veggies in favor of more meat. From all the recent research and meta studies I've seen it doesn't track. It's still decent a guidance, but the previous one was as well.

The only change from the previous dietary recommendations that I can see is that they recommend a bit of a smaller portion of veggies and a bit of a bigger portion of protein. Everything else seems exactly the same. Am I missing something?

I feel like closing off access is a bad long term strategy. Instead of being forced to compete and match or outmatch competition Canadian manufacturing can get complacent and lean on restrictions. But the whole thing feels like a ticking bo

Historically, institutions were widely believed to be selecting the best available candidates within the accepted social boundaries of the time. They did not call it meritocracy, but it was assumed. AA advocacy exposed cracks in systems tha

Yes, that's what I'm saying. These systems claimed to be meritocratic but empirically weren’t. AA was introduced as a corrective, not a rejection of merit. Was it successful at correcting it, did it introduce other defects, I don&

It depends, there were a lot of studies that showed prejudice and bias in the meritocratic process. You had examples of CVs with woman names removed getting more callbacks, and anonymous interviews having higher rates of hire and such. Due

There's an interesting psychology at play here as well, if you are a programmer that chooses a "fast language" it's indicative of your priorities already, it's often not much the language, but that the programmer ha

That's quite a shallow view: Unemployment has increased. Number of gig workers is at an all time high. Layoffs have continued. Polls show most people have financial anxiety and feel squeezed. Inflation is not under control. Buy now pay

What I'm wondering is, why couldn't the AI generate this solution? And implement it all? Why did they need to spend human time and effort to experiment, arrive at this solution and implement it? I'm asking genuinely. I use Ge

I think you're asking a good question and it's not unreasonable at all. The way I see it, the private sector is in a place to even potentially be able to fund research because of prior publicly funded research. The capital expendi

As an aside, this is an example of why I always take history with a grain of salt. All historical knowledge is akin to LLM, most of it is hallucinated. The actual evidence is often meeger, contested, incomplete, hearsay, hard to understand

None of them matter that much. They're all just ways to bring in context. Think of them as conveniences. Tools are useful so the AI can execute commands, but beyond that it's just ways to help you build the context for your prompt

There can be a Django template skill for example, which is just a markdown file which reminds the LLM the syntax of Django Templates and best practices for it. It could have an included script that the LLM can use to test a single template

I agree with this. I think a lot of people try too hard, and it backfires, as exhaustion, or strain, that end up contributing more to failure than success. I believe it's because working hard is actually easier than having good discipl
