> To be very frank, if the best thing you have done for your children is getting them to use Linux you are a total failure as a parent. Where are you getting this from?

There are degrees of acceleration. My understanding, limited as it is, is that groq and cerebras are using highly optimized acceleration to achieve their token generation rates, far beyond that in a regular GPU, and this leads to lower cost

It's not obvious at all. I would never count on my children getting their role models from their daycare providers.

I'm not using ancient history to justify it. I'm saying it's been around longer than algorithmic advertising. The comment I'm replying to suggested that this was caused by algorithmic advertising, which is a non-sequitur

It sounds like this is about going to a job board and just searching for the job you want. That's the big barrier we're discussing?

I traveled to a lot of countries during my time in the military. I was also a legal officer that had to deal with legal issues in foreign countries. Traveling is no joke. Americans often act like the world is their playground, but you are s

How does what is advertised to you affect your opportunities? Opportunities are things that are available to you. Obviously people can seek out opportunities. They don't have to have them thrust in front of them.

I don't understand where there's a trick. Why is this not as simple as going to a job board and searching for the job that you want?

> invest considerably more resources Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we just talking about going to a job board and searching for the job you're interested in?

I think gendered professions are the norm across ancient history. Algorithmic advertising didn't create this.
883.
by rpdillon 1y ago
You're begging the question. The challenge is to compel belief that unequal gender distribution across professions creates a systemic harm.

by rpdillon 1y ago
You would need to connect men not being as prevalent in child care profession roles to some sort of systemic harm. Or women not being as prevalent in construction worker roles. Just because there's a discrepancy between the two genders

They accuse the algorithm of perpetuating gender stereotypes, but it's really society that's doing that. The ads are just trying to be the most efficient and in doing so they mirror the preferences of society. I don't know wh

The problem with this reply is it starts with the phrase "if Apple chooses". My point is it stopped being their choice when they sold the hardware to someone else.

You're pointing out a bunch of high capex costs (hardware, SRAM), but then concluding that their opEx is greater than their revenue on a per unit basis. Are they really losing money on every token? It seems that using hardware accelera

Would your expectations be more aligned if it's said "free trial"? That might create an expectation of a sign up where "try this" might not.

I'm not sure what you think is so harmonious about it. I think there are gobs of iPhone users that wanted a free store, created Cydia, had it shut down, and have been fighting ever since with tools like AltStore to try to restore their

I think the burden of proof should be on them to show how often this happens.

This is called the tyranny of the majority, where you're arguing that because most people don't care about freedom, therefore freedom doesn't have value. It's not a sound argument, much like saying freedom of speech does

The point is that they trust it, whether or not Apple trusts it is completely orthogonal, and irrelevant. Apple doesn't own the phone.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. This is fascinating because when I switched to a hybrid, I started tracking my MPG really closely as well, and it turned me into an efficient driver rather than an aggressive driver. It's fu

Reactions vary. I got a COVID shot on Friday. I had to massage my arm a little bit Saturday, but nothing more incovenient than that.

Wait, you're saying that when you got COVID, it lasted six hours?
