Have a look through the rest of the images. TMPI has some pretty obvious shortcomings in a lot of them.

1. Sky looks jank 2. Blurry/warped behind the horse 3. The head seems to move a lot more than the body. You could argue that this one is desirable 4. Bit of warping and ghosting around the edges of the flowers. Particularly noticeable towards the top of the image. 5. Very minor but the flowers move as if they aren't attached to the wall

Ah, fair enough! I read this as saying almost exactly that, but yeah, I get what you mean.

but not appropriate for a mobile phone that you may want to operate untethered for hours at a time.

I do think this shifted a little when the first M1 Air came out. Anecdotally, many now associate it with being more than capable unless you’re an actual professional.

iPhone Air 11 months ago

Did you uhhhh read any of the announcement, or just jump straight to writing this comment?

The 17 Air reports 27 hours of video playback - the same as the 16 Pro.

It was in response to your original, unedited comment: "Pretty well understood" or something to that effect.

My point is that discounting historical accounts with a link to current information is neither particularly useful nor interesting.

IMO it is much more interesting to understand how our understanding has changed over time.

Where did I say it wasn't? That's a straw man.

This isn't a straw man - I'm not claiming you think life is all about movie optimization. I'm making the point that the effort of optimization might not be worth it in the broader context.

Straw man again. And again -- why not choose quality instead of choosing ignorance and rolling the dice?

Also not a straw man. I'm illustrating that the downside of a bad movie is so minimal that extensive optimization might not be justified. This directly addresses your argument about opportunity cost by suggesting the cost is actually quite small.

Again, straw man. Nobody's talking about ruining your life. But why intentionally choose a bad movie...?

Again, not a straw man. I'm making a proportionality argument about how much a sub-optimal movie experience actually matters in practice.

To the contrary. For a lot of busy people, the plane is one of the few moments they have time to watch a movie. So it sure does apply.

Even on a plane, the stakes just aren't that high. A less-than-perfect movie isn't going to meaningfully impact your life regardless of how busy you are.

You're arguing in favor of choosing bad things, because it's not going to ruin your life. Huh?

You're interpreting my position as "arguing in favor of choosing bad things," but that's just not accurate. I'm suggesting that the effort of optimization might outweigh the minimal downside of occasionally watching something mediocre. There's a middle ground between actively choosing bad things and obsessing over choosing only the very best.

1-800-ChatGPT 2 years ago

Life is about more than optimizing the movies you watch.

Watching a bad movie is not going to harm you. Maybe you'll take something away, maybe you won't.

Much like having a bad day is unlikely to ruin your life - it'll just give some nice context to the good days.

And we're talking about watching them on the plane, so the "busy person" argument really doesn't apply here.

There's a big difference between compensating skilled professionals for their work and running healthcare as a profit-maximizing business. Doctors deserve fair compensation for their expertise and time, just like any other skilled professional.

The issue with for-profit healthcare isn't about individual compensation - it's about corporate entities having the power to make sweeping decisions that affect access to healthcare. When large healthcare companies control substantial market share, they can unilaterally raise prices or restrict coverage in ways that leave patients with few alternatives. Unlike choosing a different doctor, patients often can't easily switch insurance providers or hospital systems, especially in emergencies or in areas with limited options.

If you don't want to use your own product, why should anyone else? Empathy and understanding for your users is what drives a great product.

My experience reflects this too. My hunch is that GPT-4o was trained to game the benchmarks rather than output higher quality content.

In theory the benchmarks should be a pretty close proxy for quality, but that doesn't match my experience at all.

There are more options than store in git, or flip willy nilly.

For systems of sufficient scale, it's fairly standard to keep flag changes outside of git so that they can be flipped without a pr. That way the flag change UI can apply other validation steps before any change is attempted such as ensuring valid enrolment ranges (no accidental overlap, and no accidental rollouts to 100% instead of 10%), and the associated rollout analytics can be shown alongside the changes.

You can also override things in emergencies more easily, which is the parent's point.

How the jury be considered unbiased given the amount of media coverage this has had? It seems near impossible that none of the members have been exposed to any of the coverage during or prior to the trial.

I don't think anyone is saying that a mother needs to take acetaminophen for their child to have ASD, just that there is an association between a mother taking acetaminophen and their child having ASD.

It seems that the cause of the connection is/was not known, but there is evidence that acetaminophen during pregnancy has an impact on the child's microbiome, and now the study this post is on points to a connection between an altered microbiome and ASD.

There are no doubt many other things done during pregnancy that can also affect the child's microbiome, but this connection is no less interesting given how freely acetaminophen is taken.

Fun to imagine such a dystopic setup but entirely unrelated and not even close to equivalent.

Food producers and sellers need to meet certain standards to sell their food. We take these standards for granted but they aren’t without cost. We like the standards because it means that we can generally trust the safety of the food we buy without needing to know much about it.

This is the point Apple sells on. Users are able to download apps and configure their phones without _any_ concerns of compromising their device.

Not everyone wants these guidelines and protections but for a large number of people they are worth a premium.

What "chants" are you referring to specifically re differences in markets? AFAIK it has always been pushed as a decentralized alternative to sending money, but that has little bearing on the way the traded price changes?
