This runs into both the ideals and the limitations of the Free Market. Ideally, there's incentive for people to collectively reach the most efficient solution through aggregated laziness and greed. In practice, people only have so much

I wouldn't call it metabolic if parts were missing or otherwise had communication malfunctions without any issue in acquiring/using energy itself. But I'm sure lots of things go wrong when the brain doesn't get the energ

This reminds me of how 'interesting' it is when people defend their use of language by downplaying the effects on other people. We really do have so many ripple effects from everything we broadcast to others, and tacking a negativ

I do find it funny that this discussion thread has tried to represent language as a universal form of thought when it would be messy to encode the inner workings of a LLM (the weightings/relationships) themselves as natural language. Y

The usefulness is why the term is so widespread in familiarity but I think the term would have existed to describe the linguistic mapping even if they hadn't proven to have direct problem-solving capabilities.

I think this entire thread of discussion would benefit from remembering multimodal models exist. In other words, pictures are worth a thousand words and have their own place in thought. The existence of a way to translate between modalities

Yeah this is sort of what I was trying to allude to with legacy support but I guess I should've generalized to their control over the ecosystem and efficient interaction between components.

I don't have numbers, just a hint-motivated question of how much improvement Apple's silicon has seen post-M1 compared to the competition. I've been lead to believe x86 has improved more in the same time period, but I'm

The idea that ARM solves power issues seems a bit overblown and driven by Apple purchasing the most advanced nodes sooner than competitors, causing people to associate the efficiency gain with the architecture even though a lot of it is the

Classic tragedy of the commons and hypercompetitive destructive incentives which hurt everyone in the end, sort of like this- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRz54V7rU4U

I was too abstract. I meant that when a message is misunderstood by a large enough chunk of the audience it's the speaker's fault for not knowing their audience and their needs. To be clear, you demonstrated the bias I was referri

It's like that story of the pilot who, after his refueling technician almost caused a crash by using the wrong fuel, insisted that he always have that technician because they'd never make that mistake again.

As your sibling comments mentioned, there's a difference between giving a chance for someone to learn from a single mistake without punishment, and allowing them to make the same mistake twice without taking matters out of their hands

They also didn't prevent the abundance of pesticides and herbicides which may cause immune responses to other things in food. Then there's all the microplastic and teflon and whatever else seeps into the food supply from industria

It's always easier to assume that the fault lies with the listener rather than the speaker. That doesn't mean it's the most effective bias to hold.

I'd argue there's an even more fundamental reason for the hazing process, as you call it, which is that the voting system itself incentivizes negative campaigning as just as if not more effective than positive. In other words, a d

That might still be more comforting emotionally than whatever painful uncertainty about something they didn't feel control over from the past which led to the self-medicating in the first place. Knowing what you can avoid to stay saf

It is most important for the regulations and enforcement to be implemented with a focus on constructive win-win interactions. Whether older constitutional interpretations or more centralized ones do that more effectively is ultimately deter

Do those red dwarves have the heavier atomic elements necessary to make diverse biological interactions, on a planet geologically active enough to protect the biosphere with a magnetic field? I recently encountered a description of how Eart

It's far from guaranteed even then for the executives to have the skills necessary to determine who is best, or even qualified, within a given timescale of operational metrics.

Didn't Apple agree to store data inside China for their citizens in a separate server system, thus making it subject to scrutiny on a national level? If that has been the case and people think otherwise...well, it shows how hard it is

By trying to impose such restriction on the use of 'they' as a singular (what about 'you' short for "you all" as plural?), you are creating conflict of your own rather than letting life go on. Those who see the

There are always new people learning old things about the Internet. Much like cleaning, you will never get to 100%, but without effort the problem will be far worse.

I like to imagine the Universe with the effects attributed to inflation and dark energy actually being explained by inverse curvature from antimatter (think relic antineutrinos). Every particle (including photons) would follow the curvatur

If the ego of the person in command is dependent on a certain outcome, evidence of that outcome's impossibility will seldom be met with rational thought.

There's another way of looking at it. Debt can be an investment. Compare the rates of inflation vs. the interest rates on bonds. Please let me know if I'm wrong, but... isn't the government making money with them at this po
