As you gain weight, your base metabolic rate also increases. Having fat means you inherently burn more calories, even if you don’t exercise any more. Take one person, say they eat 2000 calories to maintain bodyweight. If they start eating 2

I think there are 2 different ways to interpret the title. First, is AI itself replacing workers - article is referring to this case says no. 2nd case is what you are mentioning, the AI race has companies reducing hiring in non-AI areas in

Alright bub, I guess the dying Canadian fisheries you have second-hand experience with are exactly representative of everything that’s going on. I’m glad we can give up looking into why fish aren’t doing well, now that you figured it out.

Fisheries definitely can be mismanaged. Furthermore, there are issues like international waters, where regulations are hard to create even when they are desperately needed. It’s unclear to me what your conclusion is, is it that all commerci

Yeah there’s definitely regulatory changes that need to be made, it is insane to see that some practices are still legal. I just disagree with the notion that all fishing is harmful

If you’re implying that fishing is the main culprit, I’d invite you to do some further reading. These fisheries are carefully managed to ensure that salmon are able to spawn. Granted, there is the existence of trawling boats which do cause

Is the TikTok debacle not a way higher profile case?

I don’t ever expect everything to be perfectly efficient or even close to it, but how many jobs are there that really truly matter? A job “mattering” is binary either, a doctor is probably essential, and an artist isn’t, but it still matter

Correction to myself, I believe we have more than enough people to provide the labor. I really don't mean to get into the nitty gritty details - I'm not an economist and I'm not providing solutions, just stating what I see as

My take is that saying the problem is birth rates is misguided. Surely we have enough labor to provide for the elderly, why can’t our economy be structured to get this labor to the people who need it?

Yeah I guess part of my point is that such market would probably be better served by owning a car instead. Most of these trucks with tiny beds I see have roll top covers or canopies on them anyways. If you need 4 seats and a some cargo spac

I live in a town/area that has a high percentage of truck owners, definitely higher than i.e. west coast cities. An area with lots of people who do outdoor activities that a truck is nice or necessary for, and with people who do use th

Safety standards do change for the better, but insurance and legal risks do have gyms on edge. I think his point is that gyms tend to be overly strict in areas that do not matter, but are easy to regulate/check. I.e requiring you have

This sounds like more correlation than causation to me. There’s a similar statistic people like to quote in regards to backcountry skiing - that you are more likely to be in an avalanche if you have taken an avalanche safety course. Sure, t

Look, you’re taking my response out of context. I’m just stating that the reason Hilbert failed is not that he didn’t have a computer. Lean devs aren’t trying to do what Hilbert was.

by jmpetroske 2y ago
The reason Hilbert failed is because it’s mathematically impossible (Gödels incompleteness theorem).

I don't quite agree with your conclusion. When these companies get as huge as they are, it's quite easy for them to abuse their size in ways that harm consumers and smaller businesses. This is different than just critiquing them f

I’m summarizing, the details of the suit are widely available. Bud lights and coca colas activity isn’t enough to suppress competition. Google’s is, and the U.S. justice system clearly thinks so.

You can look up details of the lawsuit, but the idea is that Google paying Apple to be the default search engine prevents other search engines from competing with Google search. The default search selection has been shown to be quite import

It would be a tall feat to suppress close to a third the population from voting!

It’s always cases like this that make question if the dictionary is wrong, or if everyone speaking the language is wrong.

Yeah there’s some controls, but they are much less granular than what ad-tech exposes. I’ve just never really been sure why Google/meta/etc. choose to expose this information differently for ads vs content.

by jmpetroske 2y ago
Yes but it _appears_ that there are very different algorithms/classifications used for which ads to recommend vs what content to recommend. Opening up this insight/control for content recommendations (instead of just ads) would be
