How do you know those aren’t the same thing?

Their cohort studies are across three completely different populations. I would be willing to listen to an argument that for some specific population there’s a firearm ownership level above which there are diminishing safety returns, but I

Try the audiobook, although I’m sure purists would consider it cheating. You can zone out and it keeps going and something will pull your attention and you can rewind to get the context.

Do you consider it humanitarian to further weaken a nation where the average gdp per capita is less than $3000 and who are in no way a threat to us? In what way do the immigrants arriving from there improve America? Can you give a coherent

Are you implying that we should be trying to weaken Haiti?

What about the immigrant groups that don’t dramatically out-earn American-born citizens?

So what prevents the incompetent and lazy from immigrating?

so in order to increase our median intelligence, we should make the process super easy?

It’s a shame they were so anti-nuclear. Best song on that album was Ohm Sweet Ohm.

oh, believe me, I can just tell from the way they're talking about stuff, just like a webapp/psychology double major is well-versed in evaluating data systems

What credentials does this author have to cite social science research in their determination of the competency of other people? Their only other article is about eschewing native apps - why am I supposed to take their opinion about measuri

This is really cool. I vibe coded almost exactly the same app, mine also tracks saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and fiber (I'm getting older so these macros are pretty important to me). One of the really cool things you can do if y

Nice. I vibe coded a similar kind of system, you can dump a recipe into the chat window and it will use tool-calling to lookup macros for any foods it doesn't have in the DB and put them in, estimate raw -> cooked changes in nutriti

Maybe people who choose blue do so because they assume there’s some kind of monkey paw involved in the choosing the red option, like your wife and kids die or something like that

by jerkstate 5mo ago
If your goal is to reduce the number of dead, is red really the one to campaign for?
51.
by jerkstate 5mo ago
I wonder if red choosers really don’t understand that they are choosing to live in a world where half of all people, the more selfless half, are dead. It’s like living through a nuclear war except all of the nice people are gone, not just a

The means of production are for sale, they can own them if they want!

Thats fine, the cost for me to re-implement your code is nearly zero now, I don’t have to cajole you into fixing problems anymore.

Nobody actually understands what they're doing. When you're learning electronics, you first learn about the "lumped element model" which allows you to simplify Maxwell's equations. I think it is a mistake to think t

after looking into it for a little while, Docling and Marker work pretty well but are very slow. I haven't found anything else that extracts math suitably. It takes 10+ minutes per pdf, so I'm going to run it on a batch of these p

Cool! I'll definitely check it out. The great thing about LLMs is I can probably have a trainer and renderer using this technology up and running for my platform in a day or two, OR I can just pick and choose parts that would work well

My understanding is that those models create gaussian splats from a text prompt, kinda like a 3d version of nano banana. I'm not doing that (yet), what I'm doing is creating splats from a set of photos - aka "splat training&q

this is actually a great question - I just extract the text with PyPDF, but did a brief search on the functionality I'd like to have (convert math equations to LaTeX, extract images, reformat in markdown, extract data from charts) and

With AI, VR is even more promising. I have been working on a Gaussian splat renderer for the Quest 3, and by having Claude and ChatGPT read state-of-the-art papers, I have been able to build a training and rendering pipeline that is getting

I bought a copy of Office this year to do my taxes with the excel1040.com template and Claude for Excel, and dropped my 1099s and stuff into the chat window and Claude just transferred the numbers to the correct cells and Excel did the calc
