Oh I know. The Mediterranean diet is universelly associated with good health outcomes. It doesn't seem to matter how many youtubers there are explaining mechanisms why carbs or vegetables are bad for you... It also happens to align with a diet that is much better for the planet than the SAD.

I started following a Mediterranean style diet for my own heath a long time ago, and when I realized the harm of animal agriculture I stopped eating animal products completely. I of course would have preferred to continue eating like before, but evidence told me otherwise.

Oh, right, well, then, that makes him an expert on everything, then. Excuse me, I've just got to take a very large dose of Vitamin C; Linus Pauling assures me that it prevents/treats virtually everything.

I mean, Gates-era Microsoft was absolutely prone to flights of fancy.

Like, for every hundred things that the industry seizes on as "this will change everything", maybe five ultimately become a thing at all, and maybe one actually does change everything.

In the 49x49x49 video, he goes over previous world records of "Highest Order nxnxn Twisty Puzzle", and I thought it was weird he didn't mention the 34x34x34. But in the youtube description, he links to this forum post where he announces it on August 10 (a few weeks before the video, but still well after May 10): https://www.twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39559 There is a comment from the creator of the 34x34x34:

> Ah there's so much I want to say, where to begin? Well, soon after finishing the 34x34, I notified Greg, who immediately notified me about the 49x49. At that point, Preston had already checkered the 49x49, so I did not consider the 34x34 a world record. It seems nobody noticed this, but nowhere in any of my videos did I claim the 34x34 was a world record :lol: But still, everyone just assumed it was :lol:

"If you were dreaming in Minecraft" is the impression that I get. It feels very much like a dream with the lack of object permanence. Also interesting is light level.

(1996) "Excessive signaling of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites has been associated with various chronic degenerative or autoimmune diseases, and intervention with the metabolism of AA is widely employed therapeutically in these afflictions. In essence, AA is the most biologically active unsaturated fatty acid in higher animals. Its concentration in membranes and its magnitude of effects depend on its amount, or that of its precursors and analogues, in the diet. The tendency of the field of nutrition to ignore the role of dietary AA will optimistically be reversed in the future." The article also said, "The underlying rationale for this symposium is that dietary AA is perhaps the single most important nutritional determinant in regulating AA levels in Americans. This may ultimately account in part for the striking differences in chronic diseases between strict vegetarians and the bulk of the omnivorous population." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8642436/

Both animals and humans have endocannabinoid systems that operate identically in terms of physiological outcomes. Consequently, excessive arachidonic acid in cell membranes has pathologically consequences. https://johnditragliamd.substack.com/p/the-other-fat-science

this is a very big stretch in my NOT LEGAL ADVICE opinion. I think uploading an image that has been modified by Nightshade is miles in separation from what the CFAA is actually against, malware, if I upload an image that may or may not have been modified by Nightshade and it just so happens that my intellectual property causes your program that steals my intellectual property to function incorrectly, is that really my problem? I'm not encouraging you to download my image and I'm not misleading you into believing my image is something it's not, much like someone would if they were attempting to distribute malware.

As long as there are no consequences (regulation checks with fines) of not doing it correctly and/or if there is no observability and enforceability, it is just talk and does not matter in practice. Essentially, until the previous applies, it is just exchanging trust with words.
In the book, “The Big Change” (1952), Frederick Allen talks about the year 1900, and (among many differences) he notes that for nearly everyone in the year 1900, the limits of their world rarely extended beyond their own town.

Isn't it even a bit interesting that GP has tried it every time something new has come out but not once gotten the expected answer? Not only that but gets the wrong titles even though Search for everyone else is using the exact Wikipedia link given in the comment as the source?

LLMs are run with variable output, sure, but it's particularly odd if GP used the search product as it doesn't have to provide the facts from the model itself in that case. If GP had posted the link to the actual chat rather than provided a link to chatgpt.com (???) I'd be interested in seeing if Search was even used as that'd at least explain where such variance in output came from. Instead we're all talking about what could have happened or not.

This is correct. Alexander is burried in Alexandria, Egypt. This discovery means that some of his artifacts were inherited by one of his siblings, moved back to Greece and burried with them.
you're probably on the spectrum, as most anyone here.

there's a tradeoff on shipping garbage fast which won't explode on your hands and getting promoted. and there's also the political art of selling what you want to other people by masking it as what they want.

This can be done for free by just beaching the boat and working during low tide. Although that can be illegal nowadays in some places.

It likely depends on the quality of the clothing. If we are talking about a fairly standardized and utilitarian outfit like a t-shirt and straight leg jeans then that would make automated sewing easier.

On the other hand, if someone wants to wear clothing that flatters their body type and sense of style, then the robot is going to need to be able to make different patterns. Things like different types of yokes, pleats, princess seams, collar types, etc.

The next step is clothing that is tailored for an individual. In this case the robot would need to be able to add darts and other modifications in order to adjust the fit. Note that this and the previous step may need to take into account the behavior of the fabric; e.g. how does it stretch.

Finally, in the realm of high end tailoring you have features that are used precisely because they must be done by hand.

That being said, there is precedent for what you are suggesting: traditionally kimonos are unsewn when they are washed and then reassembled.

Not throwing shade here on your decision, but that's still choosing Mac over Linux and every day you continue to make that choice.

It's a perfectly fine decision, but Linux was, and still is, an option for plenty of people who develop for Apple hardware/software without daily driving it, myself included.
Sure, even the successful products generally pivot from the original idea but the problem is most people doesn't give their best to succeed and blame the idea.

Personally, I'm a pessimist on this front. People assert that a model-in-training can effortlessly sift out the real data from mountains of LLM spam. But then people also assert that AI detectors do not work and can never work, since LLM output is simply too good, and any watermarking can be broken up by a light paraphrasing step. It doesn't make much sense to have it both ways.

I can only await companies' attempts to publish enough junk to create an 'alternative truth' for new LLMs to believe in. The worst part is, it might even work.

b) is it the sole claim?

c) If one person in a group does something, are all members of the group "doers of that thing"?

d) for (d), does the answer depend on what the thing is, and if so should we perhaps imagine everyone is speaking a bit tongue in cheek?
