I was being unclear about my opinion on the timing. I meant to say take the timing out of the equation all together.

But yes, as a relative of someone who has been assaulted and sexually assaulted, my opinion is speak out loudly and immediately when faced with this kind of stuff. Every minute you waste speaking out is another minute the assaulter roams free. I get that some may be uncomfortable with that, and they should speak out as soon as they are emotionally able to.

Not to play semantics like the insanely bad take from Linus, but this isn't just a conversation, her accusations are serious.

I was clearly being unclear, the timing isn't important here. The me too movement showed that a lot of people who faced some of the same things she did stayed quiet for years.

I do think a healthy amount of scepticism is healthy here. Her accusations are worded very carefully to not directly target anyone in particular and there is no proof of her accusations nor any way for LMG to dispute her claims because of how they are worded. Regardless of the timing. It's all a little too convenient.

That said, scepticism doesn't mean blind faith in LMG, and it doesn't mean tearing down the accuser. The new CEO getting an independent investigation is the best thing possible and we should hold our judgement until the result of that investigation.

Edit: made my point regarding the timing more clear.

I'm glad to see lemmy so active, even if it is negatively against my comment

As far as I know, he has never had AMD stock.

Personally I don't see the framework investment as an overwhelming conflict of interest. It's an amount of money that's not excessive for him(using the figures from the GN video), so if it were to vanish it wouldn't be life changing. It's also unlikely to be a life changer for him if it were to 10x. It sounds like even if it were to 100x, it would only increase his net worth by 20%.

It's disclosed frequently and the investment is very public, so the viewer knows to be aware of that potential bias.

The much larger issues are the countless errors in the video that can mislead millions of viewers with bad data and poor testing oversight... and of course how those errors are handled once they are pointed out. I'd wager 95% of viewers would never read a pinned comment. These errors and their treatment cast doubt on the multi million dollar investment into a lab dedicated to guiding purchasing decisions.

Yes. That was my point. Definitely not that children are a handful and many people would rather not have that responsibility thrust upon them.

Canned soup is especially bad about sodium, and they're sneaky about it. They'll say that each can has two servings and each serving is like 800mg of sodium.

Yep. My favorite hot sauce has 1200mg of sodium per two tablespoons... And I would drench my food in that shit.

Same with soy sauce. Each of those little packets you get from your favorite Chinese place is probably at least 300mg of sodium.

I feel like you're undereducated on how and when AI models are trained. Especially for the gpt model, it's not "constantly learning" like other models. It's being tweaked in discreet increments by developers trying to cover their ass, and get it to less frequently say things they can be sued for.

Also, AI are already training other AI, that's kinda how AI are made.... There's an AI that detects how well a given phrase follows another phrase, and that's used to train the part of the AI you interact with. (arguably they are part of the same whole, depending on how you view the architecture)

CGP gray has a good into video on how bots learn, it's pretty outdated and not really applicable to how LLMs learn, but the general idea is still there.

2000 Cal is probably within 30% of what most people should have daily. But your typical American food is going to be 100-200% higher than the daily recommended amount. A Panera Bread French Onion soup in a bread bowl is literally 90% of the daily sodium, but not even half of the daily calories. Remove the bread bowl and it's still more than 1200mg of sodium for less than 400 calories.

The biggest thing I look at now when picking out meals is the sodium to calorie ratio. Anything over 1.2 is probably not good.

Stories I've heard in the last year from my friends and co-workers:

• Bragging about how they got 5 hours of sleep last night because their newborn finally slept until 6am
• A "funny" story about how their 5 year old managed to get a hold of some chewing gum and got it stuck in their hair and all over a rug
• A potty training "success" story about how their toddler remembered to pull down their pants, but remembered mid shit they should have sat on the toilet, so they shat all over the bathroom.
• They found a juice box their kid bit a hole into and then tucked under their car seat... By smelling it rotting

Trojan just needs to get a group of parents together to tell stories about their kids and paste them word for word on the back of their boxes.

It's definitely gone down hill recently, but at the launch of gpt4 it was pretty incredible. It would make several logical jumps that a lot of actual people probably wouldn't make. I remember my "wow moment" was asking how many M&M's would fit in a typical glass milk jug, and then I measured it myself (by weight) and got an answer about 8% off. It gave measurements and cited actual equations. I couldn't find anything through Google that solved the same problem or had the same answer that it could have just copied. It was supposed to be bad at math, but gpt4 got those types of problems pretty much spot on for me.

I think that most people who have tried the latest AI models have had a bad experience because its power is distributed over more users.

Congratulations on your resistance to chemical addiction then. I still seriously doubt your claims though.

That's a fair point. But there is definitely a "tolerance" you build up and can be reset. After being on a low sodium diet, anything like what I mentioned before is almost inedibly salty.

I'm calling bullshit that you get minimal effects going from regular (the most important part is regular) over 400mg (and upwards of 1000mg) caffeine in a day to zero.

Unless you're just a natural freak who doesn't become dependent on stimulants, you absolutely should feel like crap for at least a day or two.

In the same vein, salt.

Try to stay under the daily recommended amount of 2500mg of sodium and see how limited your food options are.

Everything is loaded with salt now. Especially fast food. For example, my previous go-to meal at Zaxby's (the boneless wings and things plate) is over 4000mg of sodium for one meal. Add on a 1300mg sausage, egg, and cheese mcgriddle and a fried rice with soy sauce for dinner and I had several days worth of sodium without totally blowing my calorie budget.

I love Japanese architecture and Japanese food. And I've watched my fair share of anime and read my fair share of manga.

Anyone who doesn't know how terrible Japanese culture is to outsiders needs to educate themselves, there's a reason they sided with Hitler. That culture never really went away like it did for Germany. Talk to an actual Japanese person, who went to school in Japan and see how much they know about their war crimes, and then talk to a German.

Maybe it's the anglophone in me, but going 1 - 10 then 11,12 (3+10) - (9+10) then adopting a repeating pattern to infinity is more explainable than going 1-10 then 11-15 then a regular pattern for fifty numbers then getting freaky with that pattern up to 100, then keep that pattern until one thousand, then just repeat that pattern til infinity.

What I've found helps me is picking three or four character traits I'm going to roleplay and run them through a translator twice (ex. English -> Hawaiian-> Czech turns 'tenacious' into věrnost. Then I'd judge how badly I'd pronounce it and English-ify it a little to Verno or Varnost)

It helps to pick languages that have a few language barriers between where they originated. Like English -> German doesn't work because they share a common root language and half of German speaks English as a second language now.

I can understand using a knife and fork, especially if it's a really messy slice... But starting with the crust is some serial killer shit.

I mean, doctors and nurses are for sure skilled positions. They should probably make a little more to justify all of those years of skill learning.

Doesn't mean cashiers should starve, but it's okay for them to be payed not as much.

And each should stand up for the other when they are being mistreated.
