Interesting point I guess, much to consider

To be clear, I am not agreeing that people only upvote their favorite billionaires, just that if this particular thing was done by a Chinese model it would not have gotten the same attention

Yeah

Log odds ratios are less misleading. Or at least odds ratios.

Road safety is a social good -- it depends on the cooperation of everyone on the road. Choosing to put down your phone or slowing down make everyone safer, including you. Choosing a bigger car makes everyone less safe except you, who get marginally more safe. It's obviously antisocial and the kind of choice that makes the world worse for everyone.

Appreciating that there are some benefits is differwnt from adhering to the church

It's not a question of whether it's biased to say that, rather whether it would tend to bias the model's response (e.g. toward weighting the stated downsides as more imported than the implicit upsides). But that said, choosing to highlight particular facts while leaving others silent is a very common sign of bias.

The other issue is that it is going to depend very strongly on how you ask.

It's an antisocial, even solipsistic way to do that. Offense evidently intended, even if you convince yourself it's not.

You decrease the risk to you but you dramatically increase the risk to other people, especially pedestrians. The total deaths go up.

The only virtuous goal is to type some fun words imo.

Database problems are math problems too.

If you look at his GitHub it does seem like he's obsessed with the tools

Since I can't upvote @thrance's reply, I'll second it here: certainly complaints about postmodernism date to the 90s or earlier and fear of Marxism is as old as Marx (less sure about when "cultural Marxism" specifically became a scare-term of art)

By "word on the street" do you mean "word that they are leaking to the press so they get favorable coverage, and based based on opaque and questionable accounting"?

If we're nitpicking metaphors I think it's more accurate to say it's like they were taking requests to rekey the lock on your door.

Individuality is not to be tolerated.

Nice work. I guess "vast majority" is overstating the case, but majority anyway.

But also all of their multiples. I suspect that those account for the vast majority.

The 2^64 in gps argument comes from the number of pairs of 32 bit numbers, not from the upper bound of multiplying two 32 bit numbers. So for the addition case the symmetry argument is still only good enough to get you down to about 2^63, which doesn't help you at all because you have much stronger information from the upper bound.

It's a bit more subtle than that -- most n>2^32 are not prime in which case 2 x n has more factorizations you would have to check.

(Just by way of example, for n=2^33, 2n=2^34 but also =2^17*2^17)

My man, you suffer from capitalist realism. I don't think I can help you.

You underestimate how much of the cost is the chassis, hinges, screen, speakers, keyboard, which add up. Sure the CPU is the single most expensive component, but CPU + mainboard for the fw13 is less than half the price of a new fw13. And of course part of the idea is that you don't know what you'll have to replace first, when you're staring out. You might bust the hinge, or get excited about their touchpad upgrade, or decide you need a higher resolution screen, long before you need the new mainboard. The flexibility, in other words.

Humans own inference power efficiency by a much bigger margin

For lots of things, yeah. Don't try to fold proteins or open Facebook or whatever, but if you want to run a 3d printer or make some drawings or organize a bunch of notes and docs it would be way more than enough.

Let's hope software gets enough less bloated to make that workable.

I don't think the idea is that the upgrade will take it from decent to stellar compared to other things you might be able to buy for the same money, it's about paying a bit extra now to be able to go from decent-in-2026 to decent-in-2031 while paying a fraction of the cost that you would buying a full replacement in 2031, not to mention saving a bunch of waste. And then in 2036, and 2041, and 2046... They haven't been around long enough to be confident it'll work out that way, but that's the bet in my mind.

You could stop using it first I suppose

New York is the Ljubljana of America

I don't know what starvation and gulags have to do with anti-capitalist reform. In this country (the USA), capitalism is what produces gulags and starvation.
