I don't know about the mercury fillings, but the times I've completely stopped eating anything with added sugar have had dramatic effects on my health.

They’re lucky Antifa stopped punching, doxxing, and harassing people who explicitly espouse anti-Jewish sentiment.

It’s also arrogant to believe you are an honest arbiter of what crosses the line. There is a good reason the U.S. errs on the side of free speech. People forget we used to throw people in the stocks for gossiping about their neighbors or sp

Man I totally agree with you, but you have to understand how bad meth has made things. The schools used to send home coats and clothing too, but the parents would sell them. In a just world the state would throw those piece of shit parents

The title made it sound like the schools were installing malware on students' devices, but as far as I can tell this is just a central database bringing together data from different government agencies. I'm not sure I see the prob

If we want to optimize economic growth with the most powerful force in the universe, compound interest, shouldn't we pay people the market rate which is usually some combination of the scarcity of labor and the economic value of that l

You might try a happy in between like something along the lines of Streamlit.

The real question is why did they want this? Is the UK suffering some giant crime wave or are the powers that be just really intent on making sure people are using Bad Think in their private chats?

Cartels are directly selling their goods in the open in San Fran. You won’t be making their money source, just further streamlining it.

I mean your statement right there is full of misinformation. No one said to inject bleach and no one massacred Americans, unless you mean by housing the infected in old folks homes, which killed far more than any right wing shenanigans like

This is wonderful news. Maybe next a fine tune based on OpenAI’s function API, which I consider their killer app.

I don't know how the US treasury and the Fed can pump that much money into the economy and you don't think demand changed at all. You know the basic definition of inflation is having more money than goods and services?

by merpnderp 3y ago
Yeah, the fed money printer made a lot of really wealthy people even more wealthy, while the ruling class mocked the idea of it being inflationary (bald faced lying). And yet here we are with food and housing out of control, and the only pe

They Mayo clinic says obesity (plus inactivity) is either the cause or closely linked. So while we can't say for sure, it seems pretty obvious that people who stop eating over 2k calories a day and get 30+ minutes of high quality exerc

Since peaking in 2009, the US prison population has dropped by 2.3% per year, with a 14% drop during COVID. This has gotten a lot of innocent people murdered as there is no theory of justice that can rationalize only giving someone a single

In the past, these people were usually in prison for a long stay. But we just had a person go threaten the life of a judge, leave to go commit two armed robberies, after just getting out of prison after serving one year of a five year sente

I mean every household has a knife, but we still blame people when they knife each other.

How man modern hits songs, even grammy winning songs, have pretty low-brow or even dumb lyrics? ChatGPT will certainly put more soul in it than many of those.

Oh heck yeah, the scam artists, and petty thieves all of whom will do anything for their next fix, are unshockingly looked down upon. What the hell, did you think people who supposed to feel sorry for the person stealing from them, stealing

My library is across the street from a half-way house, and now it's just filled with methheads transitioning back to their normal scams. When I'm looking for some place to work or read and be comfortable in my surroundings, it&#x2

In the long run, life on Earth would expand from the extra CO2 in the atmosphere. Pre-human CO2 levels were on a long downward trend, likely just a few million years from dropping too low for photosynthesis.

The good news is that after it is paid for, it will cost about $20-$25/MWh. The bad news is that at least for the few decades it will cost $75, which is about the same as solar+battery LCOE today.

Building an electric car is far simpler than an ICE. The batteries are by far the most important part.

You need to use the new OpenAI Functions API. It is absolutely bonkers at returning formatted results. I can get it to return a perfectly formatted query-graph a few levels deep.

Sure, but I don't know of any models you can get local access to that work nearly as well.

It's the continued alignment with fine-tuning that's degrading its responses. You can apparently have it be nice or smart, but not both.

The courts have historically taken a dim view of the government's "chilling of free speech."

It’s not racist to assume giant ballon structures sent over your secure sites by a country with 500 nuclear weapons pointed at you and a whole military complex devoted to war with you, might be spying. It’s pretty crazy to just assume they

Nuclear weapons sites had a lot more leeway from regulation and oversight than nuclear power sites.
