I don't claim it's a sign of despair. Rather, it's a boots-dug-in belief that one does is special and cannot be done autonomously. I think it's wholly natural. Work, time, education ... these operate like sunk costs in o

Couldn't you load the whole thing into a database or memory and use it as a RAG source? Not sure if that would fully scratch the itch.

I get the angle you're coming from, but in multi lingual countries where it's table stakes to be at least bilingual, an expressed rejection of not using language A over B is used often as a social cudgel.

"Keep going" is great advice, but what we're looking at here isn't ready for primetime by any stretch.

While I agree that they probably aren't, their intended customer base is. And even so, nothing precludes people from pursuing civil damages if there's a data breach - this is far more likely with sensitive data coming from a medic

Well it's something she is at least invested in and cares about as a narrative and product, whereas Amazon solely wants to turn it into money. I don't think we're looking for heroes, necessarily, but if you care about a franc

Oxygen is literally toxic to anaerobes in the clostridia class. Which means their endospores are likely to be where the bacteria is. Like botulism or bacterial gangrene, tetani can survive for short periods (as can humans sans oxygen) but i

And to be fair, there's physical modeling, which in general comes much closer to simulating, well, physical instruments. I think FM is inferior at this if only because harmonics/overtones have less variability.

Interestingly, the thoughts on boosters have shifted a lot and the recommendation to receive every ten years may soon be dropped, since the vaccine is considered to have a longer effect than originally thought. Since Clostridium tetani is a

But there's a demonstrable one - a longer lifespan. In most animals (including mammals) a longer lifespan gives more time for reproduction.

I'm not really sure what you're arguing, because the initial claim was there's no evolutionary benefit to undereating. Yes you can store visceral fat and I'm not arguing there isn't a benefit for that, just that the

Not that a LLM wouldn't shine at this, but topic classification is a fairly well-solved problem with smaller, easier, cheaper ML approaches.

TikTok was always full-throated, immediate engagement fishing. You watched a video on [some thing] for 30 seconds, you were going to get fed a bunch of that right after. Twitter used to soften the edge on this a bit; you engaged with a few

You could rotate them at random so you're only printing a dozen or so. But again, still more hassle than helpful and if you forget to switch it the problem remains.
