I can't imagine the legroom in a smart cart with a rear facing car seat behind me. I also can't imagine bringing home groceries for our family in a car that small. Who said anything about buying and driving cars solely based on

The bottle of Aspirin goes through many hands between the manufacturer and you including sitting on an unattended shelf open to the public. The person making the pizza is working for the same company as the person delivering it, or may eve

The thread is about tools to evaluate LLMs. Please re-read my comment in that light and generously assume I'm talking about that.

You're right. After reading what I'd wrote, there should be some reasonable expectations about a tool, such as how accurate it is, or what are the consequences to be wrong. The AI detection tool fails both as it has a low accurac

The AI tool doesn't give accurate results. You don't know when it's not accurate. There is no accurate way to check its results. Who should use a tool to help them make a decision when you don't know when the tool wil

A tool that gives incorrect and inconsistent results shouldn’t have any part of a decision making process. There is no way to know when it’s wrong so you’ll either use it to help justify what you want, or ignore it. Edit: this tool is as r

Saying what a Tesla can't do, or do well, doesn't really respond to the parent. There are people using Tesla to drive on city streets in traffic. It'd be fair to say it doesn't always work, and it isn't reliable,

Most employees don’t negotiate on equal terms with their employers in any industry anywhere in the world, yet some people are happy with their wages and workload.

You just said definitions and usage don’t line up, and usage is what it means. Now you’re saying how people use it is wrong because it’s not what it means. Can you see how that is confusing?

You can say they don’t have the power all you’d like, but after 50 years of them enforcing it, you’re not likely to convince a judge they can’t do what they do.

You're using the word soaring with Death Valley that has a long history of 50C+ temperatures. It may be more frequent, but hardly soaring. I'm not sure what local is in this context either, but Death Valley has a particular geog

by frumper 3y ago
Your comment is 5 parents deep and not one mentions wet bulb until you just now. The wet bulb temp of Death Valley is in the 70s or 80s. Hardly unsurvivable wet bulb temperatures.

Housing prices here are up 5-10% while interest rates are more than 2x a year ago. The low inventory are keeping prices high and that won't change unless an event happens to force selling.

I never claimed you can't improve CPI, or that it's even an accurate way to view changes in prices over time. My original comment was that when you choose to buy beans over another food, you are expressly showing you prefer to bu

They track each item and weight them. The point isn't to track each item, the point is to track the general costs of consumer goods over time. Over time, what they track and how they weight them changes. So no, the point of the CPI

by frumper 3y ago
Since the prices changed, you now prefer beans. The CPI isn't tracking the price of beans, it's tracking the overall price of food. Prices change all of the time, and consumer behavior changes because of it. If you choose to bu

> I might buy more beans than I used to, putting more weight on the item whose price increased less, but not out of preference for that item. You've described preferring to buy beans over other food items.

They do have protections in bankruptcy as student loans though so it isn't a normal unsecured risk for lenders. They're also not hard to get, which goes back to the point of easy money inflates tuition.
