What? Is your claim that every photo will be labeled as AI-modified, or that people won't label AI-modified images? If the latter, just penalize the listing agents. Trivial. The entire issue is that the platforms are already inundated

Drugs are approved for the specific uses based on extremely high-quality evidence. That evidence balances the benefits against the detectable downsides/costs/side-effects. Those downsides are also on the label . That's almos

Yeah I work in clinical trials so I'm very comfortable with all the caveats the need to be applied to correlative studies like these. Which also answers your other question of why doctors don't recommend it: we don't actually

The reason people can't save is almost entirely due to the cost of rent/mortgage, which is overwhelmingly driven by the cost of land, especially since the cost of land is modulated directly by the local wages (so there's no s

The first paper shows no evidence of any effect from Tylenol...? But yeah seems like lots of support for the ibuprofen protective effect, interestingly.

Strongly disagree. Google (and Apple) need only be near the frontier. Their incredible distribution and integration will propel them far beyond the next marginal billion dollar benchmarkmaxxing.

"Robbery" is a very immature and totally counterproductive way to think about rising costs.

It was a US-specific thing created by massive post-war infrastructure investment (read: suburban sprawl) and cheap automobiles. This entire problem more or less resolves to the cost of land. It became effectively super-cheap post-WW2 for th

No, they're definitely the reverse. They're "the singularity." Most obviously clear in Grok's which is a literal pictogram of a black hole. But these are entities that suck things up , not produce things. The men

Right, but the crux of OIG's finding is that there isn't a hard difference between the two. The plane was not built to the spec that FAA type-certified. But at the same time it wasn't clearly out of certification either

No actually there was a pretty specific transition in American business culture to shareholder primacy in the 70s-80s with measurable behavior changes across corporate America, including executive incentive structures.

No what you see down the chain of comments are people confidently repeating the exact pattern that the OIG report on this failure actually blames for it. They keep insisting there's some binary distinction between type certification an

Not sure if you just gave up halfway through the 4-sentence long comment, but I was actually suggesting that you use it to go find the thousands of pages of high-quality source information.

You should go read the OIG report. Kind of a bummer because they put all this work into a document that you're just sitting here exemplifying the exact misunderstanding that they found as the major issue.

No, an early, low-risk version of MCAS was proposed and given type approval by FAA. Then the MCAS design was changed iteratively and continuously without prompting another type approval process. Thenceforth, Boeing's ODA self-certifi

In the above OIG finding, can you please explain what "ODA" means? Maybe DOT OIG is confused? Big if true!

Design changes de facto are part of the self-cert process because it had no requirement for FAA oversight of post-flight design changes. DOT OIG disagrees that this played no role. Here's from Page 2 of their report, i.e. the entire

As has been noted in the actual reports, the crashes (as is true of all crashes) were the result of a specific chain of failures across several functions and organizations. One component of that chain of failures is the self-certification

Well that is profoundly lazy. Here, put it into your favorite LLM: "Is there a suspected or established relationship between Boeing's self-certification and the 737 MAX crashes?" That will almost certainly link to the thousan

Very well-supported argument by the fact that obesity tends to accumulate in the well-off who can afford lots of food, while poor folks tend to be slender. So yeah, clearly lower spending on food would reduce obesity.
