People are downvoting you, but you’re right: https://news.immunologic.org/p/organic-foods-are-not-healthi...

Organic is marketing. Organic produce is more profitable.

I've heard Github makes more money from copilot than everything else combined. You can think what you want about the strategy, but it's hard to ignore that.

There’s this saying that humans are terrible at predicting exponential growth. I believe we need another saying, those who expect exponential growth have a tough time not expecting it.

It’s not under a decade for ai to get to this stage but multiple decades of work, with algorithms finally able to take advantage of gpu hardware to massively excel.

There’s already feeling that growth has slowed, I’m not seeing the rise in performance at coding tasks that I saw over the past few years. I see no fundamental improvements that would suggest exponential growth or human level of performance.

I find it interesting you are blaming the NYT on this and not ChatGPT for keeping these logs in the first place. If openAI didn't keep logs, then there would be nothing to search, and a more harmful actor couldn't accomplish something far more nefarious. Saying that there could be confidential information in the logs, so that means we shouldn't access it, should also mean the logs shouldn't be kept.

Byd recently came out saying the hyper competitive landscape and low prices needs to end soon. The Chinese government is propping up a lot of their auto industry right now. So some protectionism is needed if you don’t want one of the last bits of manufacturing strength to disappear in the US.

How many issues due large companies run into thinking they can just throw money at it? Just look at google and stadia, or amazon and their failed game studio. They have immense money and knowledge and ended up with nothing.

Each car has dozens to 100+ ecus, written in different languages, by different teams, different requirements, and different companies. Some are proprietary. Ford can’t just tell Bosch, hey your abs module needs to now integrate with our api, multiplied by 100+ companies. The legacy car makers need to revisit everything, and move most of it in-house.

In the enthusiast market we're seeing the opposite. Evs have made speed routine, but dull the driving experience part. 90's and 2000's sports cars with manuals are worth sometimes 100ks more than those with paddels, even though they are slower.

The gtr has been essentially the same platform since its release, when the competition has gotten extremely tight. Then there's nissan's issues, ceo getting arrested, money troubles, uninspiring lineup that mostly sells to fleets/rentals, thus leading to inability to invest in halo vehicles.

If the plaid was making cars like this obsolete why are we seeing insane demand for the 911?

Whilst I understand the intention in comparing the average ICE to EV in order to get the larger upfront cost for the EV, I've never known anyone to shop like that. This argument was used against the Prius as well, "it's a 40k car where you could get something comparable for 25k, you'll never make up the cost of gas between the two". But that's not how the high majority of people shop for cars. They figure out their budget, then go around that. If you're in the market and can afford a 40k car, it's unlikely you'd go and get a 25k one, and vice versa, if you're looking for a 25k car, you're not going to go spend 40k because it's an EV.

So while it's nice to known that a more expensive EV will recoup its costs compared to a lower priced IC, for most, they're looking at a 40kIC vs a 40k EV, (post savings, rebates, etc) that hit the monthly payment they're looking for, and in that instance, the EV is going to win 99% of the time.

There’s a huge aftermarket for batteries and parts. Many companies will buy and refurbish battery packs as they are useful in many applications. A “dead” battery pack likely has many good cells and worth repairing.

When having my mini splits installed I pushed for an erv system in the bedroom. The installer had only ever done them in commercial units, and he hemmed and hawed about it, but I had two c02 monitors in my room showing it getting to above 2000 whilst sleeping. I've noticed a big improvement in how groggy I feel in the morning.

The flair 58 is 600+. So it's slightly more, but from a new manufacturer and has a unique design. I expected it to be at least a $1000, so I think it's definitely price competitive. Though I'd hold off until reviews come in.

I disagree. There's a very large espresso market for those who want a cheaper device that doesn't have the complications of a boiler. I have a flair espresso machine myself.

Adding a boiler I'd guess would double the price, so I think it's a good decision to leave off.

I've heard the issue with high fructose corn syrup is that the levels of sugar in it does not correspond to its sweetness level. Corn syrup on its own is not very sweet, so to make it taste sweet you have to add much higher levels than if you had used other types of sweetener.

Even if that is the case today, how long will it stay like that, and how much will it increase the cost to get it too comparable quality? It's only going to get better, and likely it'll get better faster than other manufacturers can get their products cheaper to compete.

Look around you when driving. If you're in a small car like me, vw golf, you realize how out of place you are. Every vehicle behind me feels like they have their high beams on because their car is so much higher off the ground.

I love the efficiency of my small car, but the lack of safety to those outside of the vehicle is a huge concern. One can buy a 2ton vehicle off the lot today that can do 0-60 in 3.0, the hummer ev. I really don't feel safe in a small car anymore.

I'm not the only one who thinks this. It's a race to get bigger and beefier cars . Unless we put in regulations, it's only going to get worse. No wonder pedestrian deaths have risen.

I played games my whole life and was shocked I had near instant VR motion sickness in sim racing. Can confirm it can be grinded through, recognize the feelings and stop immediately.

Sounds more like a misunderstanding of the framework and observables. The problem many faced with angular is they chose not to learn observables, then got angry.

If you have different subscribers, all on the same state change, you may not have chosen to use ShareReplay, or filter, or bothered to use a tool like ngrx that has memoized selectors.

The same problem you're complaining about is the same thing people in the react community are complaining about because they never bothered to understand useEffect, and now have massive cascading updates.

There is a very good reason they chose to make everything a subscriber, and it helps avoid pitfalls, because it doesn't hide away the async nature of everything. Signals are just a simpler way to understand and use that same async nature.

You have literally never had to scatter each component across three files. From the first release of Angular 2, you had "single file components", with template, styles and js all in one file.

I have worked as a tipped employee, and I have never heard a tipped employee say “wow that table/person didn’t tip much, I should have worked harder”

My AirPods Pro have the same issue if noise cancellation/pass through is on. It’s a known issue, also weren’t covered .

Apple used to be known for covering things, but that changed over the past 10 years.

I bought a gas car from the last hertz liquidation sale and it’s been great.

I don’t think people abuse rentals as badly as you may think. Even the aggressive charging has only been happening for what, a year? It’s not going to cut the life all that much imo.

You really think he’s going through all this effort to sell supplements?

The community found what is likely the source of the olive oil, and surprise, it’s being sold at just about cost.

He created a team and measured his biomarkers, then came up with a strategy to improve them. That’s what blueprint is. You likely shouldn’t copy him, as you are not him, but some of the things, like improving sleep, exercising, improving nutrition, can be followed by many.

He’s just a rich dude focused on improving his health. It’s nice he’s publicly documenting his results, but it’s not expected for you to follow everything.

The world is shifting to protectionism as it discovered that globalism improved the lives of people outside its borders greater than inside.

Sounds like you haven’t had a good PM or a job that supports having one.

Saying it’s often some new grad is like saying there’s no point having an on shore dev team because the devs are often fresh out of university. If you continually hire terribly you’re going to have a bad result.

A PM should become the subject matter expert in the product they are developing. They should be able to field questions on most every part of it, and be able to build a roadmap of features. Communicate with all teams associated with it. Having the programmers plan all features is a recipe for disaster if your product isn’t designed for developers. It’s like saying you don’t need a qa team because the developers tested it.

It doesn’t seem healthy from basically every diet across the world. The amount of cultures, in history, that consumed only meat is incredibly tiny.

Ignoring that, just the cost alone will be extreme. Oh it’s fine for you, you’re probably consuming garbage meat. Oh you only buy “grass fed” you’re probably buying grass pellet fed meat that has been shown to not have the nutritional diversity of actual grass fed meat.

How is, eat a balanced diet, mostly plants become so controversial.

Last I looked it was more of a design company than an actual car manufacturer. They seem to have a prototype, but I have doubts it'll ever arrive. Hope to be wrong.

His sister would disagree with you.

It's very interesting once you experiment with it. I had a much easier time fasting between 8pm -> 5pm, then from 8pm to noon.
