A study that shows the board test is effective, sponsored by the board?

I might be reassured by more detailed statistics about the analysis. Even top 25% vs bottom 25% - how much actual variation in score are we talking about? What is the probability that someone scoring in the top 25% is actually in the top/bottom 25%? We imagine a big gap but that’s not necessarily true. Consider exam scores of 85 90 90 95…

Apple and its iOS ecosystem has problems, that cannot be denied, but it catches more flak than it should given that the primary competition (Google/Android) is in many ways just as bad or worse.

Xcode gets ragged on all the time for example but Android Studio in most respects sits somewhere between not anything to write home about and bad. Just off the top of my head, dependency management and code stripping are massive pains in the rear (with both being substantially better in Xcode/Swift) and yet there’s never posts harping about those issues.
step 1, focus on llm that generate slop. wait google get flooded with slop

But now you have the problem of being too specialized - Ive seen many specialists that think a problem lies within their specialty- when it does not. And how do you deal with problems that are multi-disciplinary (problems that require multiple organ systems) when you have an army of specialists that are each fighting for their own fiefdoms?

Congrats. A free tier is definitely needed.
Well, for a start, the longer it takes to burst, the worse the burst is going to be. Right now, the fallout if it bursts would be fairly limited. Give it another few years of hype, and it may be structurally dangerous when it does go.

Also, it’s inefficient allocation of capital. Every cent being spent on this is money that could be spent on something useful (of course, absent the AI bubble, not _all_ of it would be, but some of it would be).

> would you apply the same rigorous standards of proof if the algorithmic changes benefited different political figures or viewpoints?

That's the whole point I'm basically making: I think this is an obviously bogus study, but one side will happely take the conclusions as granted because it falls in line with an agenda or narrative - furthering the divisions in society. Which by the way doesn't mean that the other side doesn't spew garbage as well.

But in these specific case, where it's so obvious... We can go on with corona virus lab like I mentioned. In these cases, where the common sense is "turned off" in some people, I really wonder what's going on and speak up. It's absurd.

> The study made an analysis, and concluded that they might point towards there being an algorithmic change.

Yes but you can't do that for the reasons I mentioned. But still doing it and then another study referencing that crap, shows to me that science is not at play here.

> From the information we have it seems like everything points towards this being the case.

Well if Greta Thunberg at the height of her popularity fell from a wind mill, someone could've made the claim Twitter is suddenly boosting a certain group of accounts. The CEO of Twitter even wrote condolences, something is up here!! Sorry, but this garbage.

> What other means exactly? We have no data to go on except observations of what happens on the platform.

Yes that's an issue, but that's not my problem?! If the circumstances do not allow for a proper study, you don't make it. I would look whether the boost in republican engagement came down again. If it stayed on the same level (maybe til today?!), I would agree, something is very fishy. Maybe there is a study that did that already? I don't know.

> The case for manipulation happening furthered even more by Elon Musk repeatedly showing he is full of shit, and has no qualms lying and totally making stuff up.

But this is not a science approach you can enrich a crappy study with. You can surely have that opinion - I have no problem with that. That's an opinion without proof, which I have too on certain topics. But then producing bogus studies to try to turn this opinion into some sort of fact where people point to as "proof" is what makes me upset. It doesn't help the cause, only causes division, because the people pointing think they have science on their side, instead of just having a opinion.
Using WebKit doesn’t make something a Safari derivative. There are many WebKit browsers out there, Chrome used to be one them.

John Gruber had the Kagi CEO—Vlad Prelovac—on in December. I yoinked this from the auto-generated transcript in Apple’s Podcasts app:

> Orion is still in beta. We are nearing V1. There was so much to do.

> One thing that differentiates building on top of WebKit to Blink is that for Blink, there is Chromium, which is the web browser app framework. You get the entire browser out of the box. You can just change the name.

> And you have a browser for WebKit. There is no Chromium equivalent. You have to create every menu, every button, everything, which is why it took us six years to get where we are.

> It's basically written from scratch. And on top of that, we also decide to port web extensions, to port API to natively to WebKit. We're doing all these hard things that take a lot of time.

> And I know many people [aren’t] happy to see Orion is buggy. This extension doesn't work. Well, yes, it takes time to do this properly, but we are determined to do that properly.

> And of course, it also has the native ad blocker included and all these good things that a browser should have. But for various reasons, all the mainstream browsers cannot do. And yeah, that's the origin story for Orion.

Notably they have been porting in support for Web Extensions APIs that even Safari doesn’t support. You can see a full breakdown comparing Orion (Mac) and Orion (iOS) vs other popular browsers here: https://kagi.com/orion/WebExtensions-API-Support.html

I have no idea what Americans overpaying for healthcare has to do with a Danish drug company participating in the Canadian Healthcare market.

I’d rather thank the Canadian government for having a drug pricing review process.

If these companies don’t want to sell their drugs here, no one is making them. They are still here, so I think it’s safe to assume that they are still making money.
The top 1% make ~800k pa. The bottom 1% make ~15k. Thats over 50x difference.

The difference in life expectancy is 15%. That's 1.15x. And that's including that steepest part right at the front.

You've been bamboozled by the y axis not starting at 0. Someone making 10x more than someone else gets a few % extra life expectancy. Significantly less than just taking a 30 min run a few times a week.
Reminder that one experience with hallucinogenic substances can give you a lifetime of visual or mental abnormalities.

Personally I've had visual snow for over a decade from a 5 minute Salvia trip. This means that instead of looking at the color white or black and seeing a clean color, I see a static cloud all over it. I'm one of the lucky ones - most of the people I've known over the years who messed with these substances ended up dead, with persistent mental illness, or brain fog that took years to clear up.

You roll the dice on your mental and physical well being every time you ingest a hallucinogen. The characterization of these substances as ones which induce visual hallucinations without mentioning the lifetime of mental health issues they leave people with is dangerous.

Anecdote: I recently opened VScode on my personal laptop for the first time in a year or two and, having got used to the internal AI assistance we have at work, my own non-AI-enhanced VScode felt so primitive. Like using Win95-era notepad.exe or something.

It was palpable - that was "a moment" for me. Programming has changed.

Iron is used by the organism to make hemoglobin, the molecule that transports oxygen in blood.

Many recipients of blood transfusions need it because they lost a lot of blood: car accidents with open fractures, gunshots, etc. A single blood transfusion won't restore their blood levels to normal; it's just a temporary fix to keep them from dying. When they're "out of the woods", they restore the rest of their hemoglobin levels on their own, in time. It takes a lot of iron to do that, so the extra iron helps a lot.

The problem with extra iron happens when the patient can't fabricate their own hemoglobin, and as a consequence consume almost no iron. Some of these disorders require repeated transfusions; the patient can't live without them: thalasemia (severe forms), porphyrias, refractory anemias (MDS), aplastic anemia.

If the hemoglobin is low, the body's chemical mechanisms assume there's insufficient iron. The body then absorbs more iron from food and does it's best to store it and not lose it. In these cases, hemochromatosis appears even if blood transfusions they receive contain regular iron levels.

I've tried using basic AI completions before and found that the signal-to-noise ratio wasn't quite good enough for my taste in my use cases, but I can totally understand it being good enough for others.

My comment was more about just asking questions on how to do things you're totally clueless about, in the form of "how do I implement X using Y?" for example. I've found that, as a general rule, if I can't find the answer to that question myself in a minute or two of googling, LLMs can't answer it either the majority of the time. This would be fine if they said "I don't know how to do that" or "I don't believe that's possible" but no, they will confidently make up code that doesn't work using interfaces that don't exist, which usually ends up wasting my time.

That system only works so long as you are prepared to be completely self-reliant, which is fine for a largely agrarian society. But at some point, technological complexity requires continued reliance on outside groups or you don't progress or even maintain.

Consider a scenario - the US falls into some weird anarcho-libertarian dystopia. This works fine for a while, but no one is making new computers or new cars or new anything and the only way to get these things is to open negotiations with outside groups. But what do you offer them? The currency is worthless because it used to be backed by a central government but it isn't now. If you don't have something that is valued by the outside group, you have nothing to bargain with. And if you don't have superior force of arms, they don't have to accept it anyway. And even if you do, you absolutely cannot trust them.

Modern government is built on trust. It has value because, even if it is somewhat corrupt, or even totally corrupt, it keeps society functioning in a way that provides value to everyone, even if it is unevenly distributed. By reducing that uneven distribution, we increase the overall value to everyone both inside and outside the system. It's literally the definition of win-win.

If the government system has some value, then its currency has value, regardless. The US dollar is valued because it is backed by the word of the US government. Other countries have lesser value because, while their word might be good, they aren't as trusted or don't have the might that the US government has at its command.

Trump and Musk and the people they're working with don't get that. They only see win-lose. They don't understand that their value is in trust and that they are rapidly pissing away that trust.

We are unimaginably fucked.

Maybe I'm preaching to the choir, and badly at that, and I apologize for that. I'm sitting down here, so far from being able to do anything effective, and it's so unbelievably frustrating.

> Presumably you're trying to trigger ketogenesis.

Only if you're actually on a keto diet; most weight loss routines run a calorie deficit without triggering ketogenesis.

Also there's this whole thing about set points - you probably got to your weight somehow, and if it wasn't through consistently making stupid choices over many years, chances are this is what the body learned to consider an equilibrium state. Which means that, if you start running a calorie deficit, it's going to fight you every step of the way. It will happily scale down performance to conserve energy instead of burning the accumulated fat, so you'll just be slow and groggy but not lose weight. There's been reported cases where people got mental illness-level obsessive thoughts about food, which appeared when they were hungry, and stopped when they ate enough.

The degree of this problem varies between people, but it's generally not that easy to effectively lose weight, and some people simply lost the genetic/environmental lottery on this.

Even so.

Food can evoke the same neurochemical response as hard drugs or sex for some people. It is even more readily available than either of those things, and it is advertised and produced by multinational conglomerates with huge advertising budgets. They have the resources to maximise the attractiveness of their products and optimise the way they taste to be as pleasurable to eat as possible. Usually that means filling them with terrible ingredients.

It's not much different than social media. People get addicted to social media because they don't stand a chance against social media companies that employ an army of people to optimise every facet of their product for addictiveness.

Modern lifestyles are more sendentary than they used to be, and that plays a part in the explosion of obesity, but so do the conglomerates that produce the junk food.

None of these are "expected." It shouldn't have to connect to Apple when you launch it. The installed executable is all that is necessary to run the thing. It -can- launch without a network connection, therefore it should not initiate a connection without the user's consent. It's none of Apple's business when I launch Xcode. Same for opening a project. A compiler does not require online assets just to open a project file. It's none of Apple's business what project I'm opening and when I do it. It should not need to make a connection to Apple when it builds either, only when it is signing (assuming the signing cannot be done on device).

As a user, I wouldn't expect any of this kind of telemetry, at least out of the box without opting in to it.
