- Comment on Brazil condemns US after deportees arrive handcuffed 2 days ago:
most people hate this shit.
Apparently, thats very much not true. Around 22% of Americans hate this shit, everyone else is too young or too sick/old to have an opinion, or really loves this shit, can’t get enough of it.
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but preferably both
- Comment on YSK: The US is currently giving away free COVID tests to all Americans 3 weeks ago:
It absolutely does. New strains are a bit less deadly, and enough of the population is vaccinated so it’s not that terrible, but they are more contagious and they still cause lasting damage even if they don’t kill, so it’s very much a problem

You get a small loan of 20 million dollars from your patents, obviously

- Comment on California lawmakers to begin special session to 'Trump-proof' state laws 1 month ago:
The laws are dead, the court is a joke, and the convicted criminal is in charge. A bunch of other states are doing crimes already, and nobody really did anything.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024 2 months ago:
Yeah, the scary thing about LLMs is that by their very nature they sound convincing and it’s very easy to fall into a trap, we as humans are hardwired to misconstrue the ability to talk smoothly for intelligence, and when computer started to speak with complete sentences and hold the immediate context of a conversation, we immediately started to think that we have a thinking machine and started believing it.
The worst thing is, there are legit uses for all the machine learning stuff and LLMs in particular, so we can’t just throw it all out of the window, we will have to collectively adapt to this very convincing randomness machine that is just here all the time - Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024 2 months ago:
As someone with degrees and decades of experience, I urge you not use it for that. It’s a cleverly disguised randomness machine, it will give you incorrect information that will be indistinguishable from truth because “truth” is never the criteria that it can use, but be convincing is. It will seed those untruths into you and unlearning bad practices that you picked up at the beginning might take years and cost you a career. And since you’re just starting, you have no idea how to pick up bullshit from truth as long as the final result seem to work, and that’s the works way to hide the bullshit from you.
The field is already very accessible for everyone who wants to learn it, the amount of guides, examples, teaching courses, very useful youtube videos with thick Indian accent is already enormous, and most of them are at least trying to self-correct, while LLM actively doesn’t, in fact it’s trying to do the opposite. - Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024 2 months ago:
Don’t overestimate LLMs, it can’t code and never will be. It can create templates convincingly enough and do boilerplate parts that are nonsense only sometimes, but those aren’t the fun parts of the coding process anyway. In my experience, LLM isn’t helping at all and I spend more time fixing it’s nonsense than I would do if I don’t use it at all, so I don’t

And for the crime of being send to death they should be punished by not having the newest divers. That’ll show them.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 2 months ago:
But social media don’t have to burn tar. They chose to because this way they can get more money, but it’s not an inherent part of the system, it’s an exploitation of it for profit, and can be separated
- Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index 2 months ago:
I bike and rock climb, I walk long walks and overall in a good shape, not great, not terrible. When the doctors see my bmi without other metrics, they immediately tell me to lose weight and don’t take anything else seriously. I missed very serious illness because of that, every symptom I had was thrown into a pile of “your bmi is bad, lose weight”, until one doctor was smart enough to check on me for real.
BMI is incredibly oversimplified and gives lazy or overworked doctors easy way out of doing their jobs, which kills people. - Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 2 months ago:

- Comment on Over 2 percent of the US’s electricity generation now goes to bitcoin 11 months ago:
Bitcoin is anything but reliable and independent. And it’s 2% for the miniscule inconsequential amount of transactions it does compared to the amount of transactions happening.
