Not really? It's just a version that's proceeding 4x. I don't think there's really any reason to pathologize it.

I don't find this to be true at all, maybe it has a few niche advantages, but GPT has significantly more data (which is what people are using these things for), and honestly, if GPT-5 comes out in the next month or two, people are like

My entire point the whole way through was about Sowell being wrong about the CRA, and it literally doesn't matter when it was introduced. It was an example of anti discrimination legislation regarding loans that Sowell has directly com

It exists for economics exclusively, he has never proven himself in regards to social issues to be anymore than a common twitter conservative.

Yes, as I said he literally wrote an article about it. I literally cannot understand how you can't connect Sowell's claim that anti-discrimination legislation (like CRA) is bad to my argument.

OH MY GOD... The OP brought up that Sowell said that anti discrimination legislation increased defaulting and bankruptcy. Thomas Sowell literally wrote an entire article blaming CRA about 10 years ago. I brought up how Sowell is wrong becau

He brought up anti discrimination legislation causing defaulting and bankruptcy, which the 2008 crash literally caused. I brought up a specific example of how Sowell is wrong. Sowell has directly commented on this matter. It is obviously re

It's actually an extremely common argument that conservatives make to this day. Thomas Sowell blamed the CRA himself, so I'm not sure what your point is.

Something being difficult to precisely measure does not make it a Nazi tactic. This is just an attempt to reframe the argument to be more charitable to Sowell, but no, his argument is bad.

Unfortunately he said it in an interview about 3 weeks ago on Fox News.

Right, but I had no idea HN people were huge fans of the guy too.

It completely ignores political corruption 100%. It completely ignores union stomping over the past 60 years, among other things. This is what I mean by his ultra reductionist views, he refuses to consider external factors when he talks abo

Yes, I am giving my opinion on Thomas Sowell in a post about Thomas Sowell. My post is very short, like a third of it is a quote from him. And I didn't define conservative as wrong, I said he is a standard, non-special conservative AND

No, it was a COINTELPRO operation. They made up a bunch of propaganda for character assassination that, to no surprise, never got released because it didn't exist.

by deiznof 6y ago
The idea that calling out systemic racism is like a Nazi propaganda tactic. Look up any of his other views on literally any social issues, it's just whatever Fox News-esque conservative would want to hear. Like, somehow it's not t

Agreed, it's a purely reductionist take on taxes while showing complete ignorance on who decides how much people earn in society. I wish people would stop listening to Sowell like he was the Jesus of economics. Outside of theory, he fu

His economics are sound, but I often find that his takes on social issues are extremely reductionist. His social views a lot of the time are just standard conservative views (and wrong IMO), I wish he wasn't being praised for that. One

At this point I'm not even sure what people mean when they say "slow" or "poor performance", since I have a mid-tier PC and have no problems with VSCode or anything else. Everything starts fast and I have no latency

>Your about page is not improved by using react. Well...fortunately people don't use React for making About pages. These examples of why not to use React in these comments are silly, people use them for web apps 95% of the time.

This also only goes until 2006, Obamacare didn't even exist yet.

This is only because America has incredibly bloated healthcare costs - that "compensation" mostly isn't all that valuable. A $1000 slice of pizza is still only 1 slice of pizza.

If you "needed" an MRI right away, you wouldn't be waiting 6 months, so you probably didn't need one. Not urgently, at least.

If you were on reddit this would be true, but here people aren't on "I hate Assange" autopilot.

This really just isn't true about the javascript scene anymore, and hasn't been for a little while now. React and Angular alone make up the vast majority of framework usage and they've been out for years. Honestly, a lot of j

I think people are more concerned with the invasive data collection that happens during day to day, casual internet/cell phone use. They are wondering why Company X would need to know your blood type, prescription history and your poli

Looking at what he has charged with (1030(a)(1), 1030(a)(2))...how would those charges stick? He failed to actually access anything.

HN seems to be pretty good, actually, they seem to understand that Assange has been the target of a propaganda campaign. On reddit or anywhere else I'd agree with you.
