That does not mean however, that their "diet" cannot coincidentally have been healthier than what some people eat today. They surely ate food back then, that was less processed and less unnecessary stuff added to it. Eating whatever you can get your hands on in a less developed time, can mean, that people ate healthier, at least when they had something to eat and did not starve. There does not have to be a nutrition expert around at the time or any intentional process by people to "keep a diet".

Tbh, it sounds like we don't need more oil, we need less people.
Story time. I graduated into the recession (2009) and got a grueling EE job on my J-1, after about a year and some change I could not take it anymore. Hundreds of applications and many months later “you are pretty good but we aren’t going to bother with sponsoring your visa” was basically all I got.

I was facing the reality of having to go back to “my country”, but I had no surviving family, no money and no support system. I didn’t really have anywhere to go back to. It was scary. Ultimately I ended up having to get married to remain in the country where all my personal belongings were.

No it would not. We have to do many things to solve it, not just one thing or another.

And nobody argues that we should stop eating ... that would equal stopping driving. But as we can drive electric instead, we can also eat something else than animals.

We already get majority of calories out of plants ... animals supply only 18% of calories and 37% proteins (https://ourworldindata.org/land-use).

Mea culpa. That max 5% is non-industrial farming. How big part of it is sustainable i do not know.

I shop at costco a lot.

I have been working pretty hard to improve my diet and now mostly eat vegetables and meat. Very little processed food, and we prep our food daily.

The last time I was there for some reason I started looking at what everyone else had in their cart. 90% of people just had straight garbage. A lot of snacks, processed foods, almost no vegetables. I never really paid attention to it.

Maybe it is caused by two parents working and just not having the energy to prep food? Social media and shorts stealing free time? Or poor education?

Almost entirely, the existence of Chief Diversity Officers - and to a lesser but still prevalent extent, this "off-to-the-side" teams you mention - are just jobs programs with an identity politics twist.

CDOs exist so that the "right" people can have a high-power (even if only via public perception), well-paid C-suite role. These ethics teams exist so that a group of the "right" people can level up their resumes. Instead of being a developer at a bank in Omaha you can be on the AI ethics team at a startup.

> People are upset that time after time the rich make blunder after blunder after blunder and time after time are protected from their own idiocy and hubris in circumstances where everyone else would be left to rot.

I actually think this has created a precedent that will protect deposits of over $250k at small banks. Which is not the domain of poor people, but also not necessarily that of billionaires. So this whole fiasco has created protections that more-or-less ordinary people may well benefit from.

Plus, although $250k is a lot for an individual, it isn't necessarily a ton for a business. For example, I once encountered a small software company of about four people, funded by "friends and family" investors (mostly immigrants), that had about $500k in the bank. The employees were solidly middle-class, and the founder was maybe on par with your typical dentist.

So I don't view this as only a bailout for billionaires, because I think bank failures can affect anyone with a little money.

However, I will grant you -- or volunteer -- the following comparison: Compare this rescue, to what hasn't been done for the residents of East Palestine. That situation is a little different, because the railroad can surely pay for it, so there's no need to consider passing any liability through, say (by analogy) to the railroad industry as a whole. If the executive and judicial branches had been as swift to act in that case as the FDIC, Fed, and Treasury have been in this case, then the people of East Palestine would have been evacuated immediately to comfortable digs, their houses bought for their pre-accident market value, and Norfolk Southern sued to pay for it all.

So while I think the right thing was done in this case, and think it will even benefit fairly-ordinary members of the upper-middle-class, I will grant you that the little guys too often do get steamrolled.

Sure, when you compare the absolute best with one of the worst, there will be a clear difference. Still, note that you made the point yourself about tweaking - which is done in software.

We have lots of examples of generally intelligent systems, they're common and they evolve by themselves, so the idea that it might not be possible at all just seems ridiculous.

Large language models might not be capable of general intelligence by themselves, but a model network that includes a LLM as part of a generalized game playing model would certainly have the potential to get there.

I live in Germany and went vegetarian some 15 years ago. Traditional German food is hardly agreeable with a vegetarian diet, so I learned other dishes. Then at some point, I started eating fish again, and that's where I ended up.

Intuitively, there is a threshold above which increasing the number of threads decreases throughput (for example reaching your total number of cores if you are CPU-bound, might be a different number for different workloads). It would be nice to have the controller try to find that number, this PID approach just tries to scale more if there's more input.

It might be more suited to infinitely-scalable situations like cloud VMs, where you are trying to optimize money spent.

From the link you just posted:

After serving with distinction in the Great Illyrian Revolt, he was sent to Germania to aid the local governor Publius Quinctilius Varus in completing the Roman conquest of the Germanic tribes. While in this capacity, Arminius secretly plotted a Germanic revolt against Roman rule, which culminated in the ambush and destruction of three Roman legions in the Teutoburg Forest.
> If I switch the choice, I react to the new information

This assumes that him opening a door is new information. It isn't unless you make an assumption about the game masters intentions.

If the host doesn't want you to win then you will lose 100% of the time if you switch, if the host wants you to win then you could win 100% of the time by switching etc. But people think that these assumptions are "obvious" so of course you must make them, but that makes the riddle bad.

If the riddle doesn't say that the host always opens an empty door after you pick a door, then the typical solution isn't correct. People does the typical "X happened once" and assumes it means "X always happens", that is a typical naive assumption but no, just because it happened once doesn't mean it always happens, you can't make that assumption here unless stated in the riddle.
I think you should bite the bullet on this one: those officers he describes are excellent resources for the heads of other departments with the accountability to use as a resource, but they aren't unilaterally setting policy for the entire org., nor dictating specific rules to the rank and file. A Chief Diversity Officer could be useful in a similar capacity, e.g. a CFO decides that the company's charitable contributions should better reflect modern sensibilities, or when a head of HR wants to know how to recruit a more diverse pool, or when a CMO wants to brand-target better. But the Chief Diversity Officer isn't running his own parallel competing initiatives.
I think this equally applies to all knowledge workers. LLMs are not going to cut the human out of the loop just yet, but building them into the workflow is going to end up being so powerful that anyone not using an LLM will be uncompetitive.

I see this being at least a few years out. Performance is stil scaling up and cost is still scaling down. It’s going to require collecting a lot more specialized training data to produce fine tuned model. Business will need to adapt and people will need to learn how to accelerate themselves. But eventually, I see this going the way of the introduction of the computer to the office. No productive person will work without it.

As a thought exercise, I’m going to assume you’ve used same GPT model to produce some code before and been impressed in a narrow kind of way. Then project that forward a few years, through GPT-4 and GPT-5. Add some better training data and a better understanding of how to fit the LLM output into day-to-day work. Maybe add the ability to fine-tune on the existing code base and design documents. The trend-line is at least going to hit junior dev level, so the job will probably turn into a senior dev supervising a “team” of LLMs.
