  • That's incredibly offensive.

    Implying that a holy being could speak french makes me wanna barf

  • I think we're talking about two different things and at vastly different magnitudes.

    Being inside doesn't make your eyes worse because of like... the air in there. Or a roof. It's because wile you're in there your eyes aren't ever focusing on something far away.

    And it doesn't happen overnight. It's over the course of tens of thousands of "missed outdoor hours".

    If you stared into an abyss with nothing distant to focus on over tens of thousands of hours, it'd be the same problem. It's not because it's dark. It's because it's an abyss.

    When he was warning about "too long" into the abyss, it's tens of thousands of hours (which displace outdoor time). You can look into the abyss a little bit. Sometimes. As a treat. Just not for too long.

  • Too Real

  • We do. I think a stronger innate understanding of the relationships involved makes it a lower-stress affair.

    "I'll do my best. It might work out, it might not... but even if I fuck it up and my mom is annoyed, I think that's ok, because I can navigate my mother being annoyed effectively"

  • I dont know what "winning" even means in this environment.

    Jump

  • There is a specific brand of terminally online "if it isn't perfect it isn't worth doing" contributes-nothing-naysayer that you see all over the internet, and every time I see them I think of this poem.

    Their knee perk reactions are so automatic that I genuinely do not think a single thing could be done to thier satisfaction.

  • Ah so it's worse than imperfect in your mind. It's intentionally malicious.

  • Not necessarily reading in the dark, but I imagine staring into the dark for long periods of time means that your eyes aren't ever focusing on anything.

    Too much "indoor time" where peoples eyes aren't getting exercised by focusing on distant objects often enough strongly correlates to myopia.

    I still think staring too long into the abyss would be detrimental to eye health, even if not for the exact reason the other person said!

  • It pretty meaningfully solved a specific problem for some people?

  • The legislative branch are just cowards, period. Don't like the way the SC has interpreted a law? No fucking problem: re-write the law. It's LITERALLY thier fucking job.

  • Just the market regulating itself

    Jump

  • I will argue that the introduction of many sales taxes were a mistake...

    But once they exist, removing them won't help consumers because the market will just raise prices to suck up the difference. It's a ratchet effect.

    Edit: If we ever want to "reverse" a tax, then the solution is just to send people thier cash back after the fact. Like the Carbon rebate program (that 80% of Canadian households ended up getting more back in rebates then the paid in carbon taxes. Great program. Good politics to reverse, but terrible policy to reverse)

  • I worked at a Tim Hortons when GST was lowered from 7 to 5.

    The day it went into effect, we raised the price of everything such that the customers paid exactly the same amount after-tax than they did before.

    All that happened was It moved that 2% from going to the budget of the government to pay for Healthcare and roads, to going to a holdings company to pay for executive bonuses.

    I remember when the doofus conservatives in my town understood that absolutely nothing got cheaper for them, they were like "nothing gained, nothing lost, big deal. Who cares"

    Like, no, doofus, something WAS lost. Those taxes were paying for services we all benefitted from.

    I will NEVER support the cutting of a sales tax.

  • nice

  • I'm sorry for glossing over it, you're right. You said a few times that you feel like humans don't measure "intelligence" fairly towards machines.

    You're right. We probably don't do this fairly towards animals. We probably don't even do this fairly to other humans.

    It's a fair mirror to hold up.

    Acknowledging that we're susceptible to bias isn't evidence that a conclusion is wrong, though. Some blondes actually ARE dumb.

  • Me? Personally? Tough to say, you're entering into the realm of philosophy at that point... but it's a more fruitful avenue of argument... even though I know you were just trying to be a dick.

    I genuinely think it would be an easier task to argue human minds don't even qualify and then to argue LLM equivalency than it would be to argue an LM has semantic comprehension.

  • Give me toxic womanizing female Bond

    Jump

  • The line, this line, I just see as arbitrary.

    We already cast different actors to play Bond. They're already quite physically different. They have different accents. Craig looks to me like he was hit by a truck, contrasted to Brosnan.

    Why exactly is it OK to cast across many dimensions but gender is the "bad line"?

    I have my own answer, and that whenever Hollywood does this, they just can't write the character as a woman. Like, thier idiot writers and algorithms and focus groups and marketing departments just fuck it up every time, just assfuck the source material with the express goal of buzz.

    But this post?? They GET it. If OP had creative control, I'm genuinely ok with it.

    I don't have issues with different actors playing characters. They just have to be written in a way that respects the characters and by extension the fans.

  • nice

    Jump

  • I mean, the provable lack of semantic comprehension is literally the mechanism for a subset of academically rigorous papers on LLM attacks.

    There are plenty of things you can debate in the body of discourse around LLMs, this just flatly isn't one of them.

  • How does a ~20% reduction in oil supply translate to a ~60% increase in price?

    Jump

  • Completely agree, actually.

    This isn't what I think someone should do. It is morally abhorrent. This is just a contrived scenario to try and prime an intuition to help OP understand why small changes in supply can have outsized effects on price.

    If at any point someone sees human suffering or danger and thinks "profit opportunity", I have a hard time understanding why that person should be permitted to continue to participating in society freely.

    little take

  • Nuclear waste is safe IF handled properly. Guns. Fluorine. Antimatter.

    I get your point, but I think "apples to oranges" is a bit far.

    Just because something can be safe with adherence to established safety procedures, doesn't mean you can't compare it with things that are safe without them.

  • If there are 300 life jackets on a sinking ship being sold for $10 each on a ship with 300 people on it. No problem.

    No, imagine there are only 299 life jackets on that sinking ship.

    The 2 people who want the last life jacket might be willing to bid quite a bit higher than $10 for it, even though the supply only shrank by a fraction of a percent.

    In short, supply reduction doesn't carry enough information on its own to imply how much the price will increase. "How fucked are the customers competing to buy the remaining product if they can't get it" is the other key factor.
