LLMs have room for improvement (we show that their scores are medium-low on several dimensions).
Maybe the average human also has lots of room for improvement. One thing does not necessarily depend on the other.
the same way we can say that LLMs still have room for improvement on a specific task (lets say mathematics) but the average human is also bad at mathematics...
We don't do any claims about human therapists. Just that LLMs have room for improvement on several dimensions if we want them to be good at therapy. Showing this is the first step to improve them
The US has never really been either. At its core, the US has always been an oligarchy with the veneer of democracy to keep the pleebs in check.
Any country that has only ever really been able to choose one of two political parties who both represent the interests of wealthy elites above all else can't really call itself a "Democracy."
We’ve discovered the review that says the thing is bad, is actually an ad for the thing, because the buy link has an affiliate code.
Am I understanding you right?
I feel like we have stumbled into a classic HN tarpit, where people try justifying something obviously wrong by asserting one prong of it can be twisted into one segment of the obviously wrong thing
The billionaires seem to have settled on New Zealand as the right combo of “stable-enough liberal democracy that they probably won’t seize my treasure hoard” and “hard enough to reach that climate an political-instability refugee waves cannot get there”.
Ah, yes. Of course, in the wake of the fall of the United States, everywhere else on earth will immediately flourish. Just my 2 cents, but before you leave, you might want to talk to some immigrants about what brought them to the United States in the first place.
Australian here, grew up in the great south-west, and then I lived in the USA for 15 years, decided it was bunk, switched to Europe and have now been in middle-Europe (Austria) for 18 years, with a year in the UK and a year in Japan, for context.
My quality of life has increased dramatically with every move. Europe as a place to live is just so much better than Aus->USA ever was .. better health care, better food, better people and culture.
Only thing that falters is the weather - but I tell you, there is nothing more joyous than Vienna in spring time.
Anyway, I've run the gamut on western civilization. I won't go back to the USA or Australia, no sir - and even if, only as a tourist, never to reside again. Ask me anything.
But the tires are individually controlled - less slippage - and the brakes are regenerative. As a bonus, NYC is pretty much best-case scenario for the latter.
The latter is a 4-core machine with 8 HyperThreads. This doesn't actually matter to your price-performance metric but is worth mentioning: it's the reason why the Intel part performs so comparatively badly.
Silly argument. Empires rise and fall. USA isn’t the end of history. If USA sinks it won’t be great for the rest of the world but no not everything else will fall.
This is great! The only part that broke the immersion (for me) was that the cloth bits fell at a constant rate - I'd expect them to accelerate due to gravity, and maybe flutter as they fell.
> I wish I knew what you were so I could say "one of the many terrible things about __" about you.
I'm a software engineer, so I beat you to it.
> I always thought intentionally applying an emotional distance was a strategy to help us see what's really happening, since allowing emotions to creep in causes us reach conclusions we want (motivated reasoning) instead of conclusions that reflect reality. I find it a valuable way to think.
And the problem is taking that too far, and doing it too much. It's a tactic "to help us see what's really happening," but it's wrong to stop there and forget things like values, interests, and morality.
> And people tend to vastly overvalue our "humanity" anyway.
WTF, man.
> I'm guessing the ones that displaced horses didn't give much of a fuck about what happened to horses.
Who cares what "the ones that displaced horses" thought? You're the horse in that scenario. Another obnoxious software engineer problem is taking the wrong, often self-negating, perspective.
Yes, the robber who killed you to steal your stuff probably didn't mind you died. So I guess everything's good, then? No.
> Anyway, I think you have an unhealthy emotional attachment to your emotions.
Emotions aren't bad, they're healthy. But a rejection of them is probably a core screwed-up belief that leads to "aloof galaxy-brain, passively observing humanity from afar" syndrome.
There's probably parallel to the kind of obliviousness that gets you the behavior in the Torment Nexus meme ("Tech Company: "At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.'") i.e. "Software Engineer: 'At long last, I've purged myself of emotion and become perfectly logical like Lt. Cmdr. Data from the classic sci-fi Logical Robot Data Wants to Be Human and Feel Emotions."
I wish as a society we'd use this form of taxation more, and widely applied taxes less. In theory insurance is supposed to have the actuarial people who figure it out and properly price the choices in, but it's also surprising how crude they can be-- lumping very distinct situations as "the same". eg aggressive drivers are only penalized after they hurt someone, like the phrase "no harm no foul" (until there is harm). It'd be better if telemetry was collected and penalized in realtime.
So far every image I've seen of this thing is too professional to trust. It looks like they solved the kaleido contrast problem, but none of the reviewers are actually saying that in the text. I'd really like an amateur side by side against something with a carta 1300 so I can judge the b/w contrast properly.
What does Netflix has to do with AV1 codec? While Netflix’s Norkin has contributed some minor add-ons like film grain, Daala folks should have been mentioned along with x264/x264 guys who were at the origins on AV1 development, Google VP9 guys for their contributions and Intel maybe for HW porting, among others. Basically whomever pays for the show, gets to wear the crown. Nothing to see here…
