Yes, it is an excellent reason to discard it as a slop.

There is difference in taking pride of not knowing things and considering it as regrettable necessity.

Giving access to the same info to more people is reducing privacy. I prefer to not give to even more people. In the same way as my doctor knowns some private health info but to keep it private I would prefer to not give it to my employer.

I am still waiting for something that would support your claim rather than mention something sort - of - related.

by purple_turtle 10mo ago
Links to materials that would support your claim. And at least mention terms you used.

No, ones that would support your claim. And at least mention terms you used.

by purple_turtle 10mo ago
Can you link any evidence supporting this claim? This term sounds like a standard-issue woo.

Your first linked page has no word "depression" on it

Note that I am not saying that "throw away regulation, always less regulation is better". That would be asking to drop all regulations. I am saying that regulations have cost so you should have as little as regulation as possible

Sadly, sometimes people are wrong. This applies also to enacting monstrously stupid regulations. Or even ones that were introduced entirely as revenge or to create opportunity for corruption.

What is the point of car that on Mondays changes colour to blue and on each first Friday of the year explodes? If neither you not anyone else can fix it, without more cost than making a proper one?

I am not going to collect old clothes (used as rags and ready to be thrown out) for months. For start, my flat is not large enough for that. I just throw them away with rubbish and get less supportive of people and institutions that created

Less regulation is a good target. Just not sole one. Harm reduction (a good reason for regulation) also needs to be balanced with it. But piles of regulation have costs - both in reduction of competitiveness, increasing expenses, reducing w

> LLM is a lookup table which tells you "if the last N tokens were s_1, s_2, ..., s_N, then the following token will be t_1 with probability p_1, t_2 with probability p_2, etc...". No, LLM is not a lookup table for all possible

> The last 30 years have been dominated by deregulation Maybe in USA, and not everywhere. From what I heard deregulation had not happened in USA healthcare. And describing last 30 years in EU as dominated by deregulation is clearly wrong

This one is about housing crisis, not "western homeless crisis". At least in Europe it is not (yet?) causing very large scale of homelessness problem.

The problem in USA is that producing insuline is so regulated that setting up and maintaining production is obnoxiously expensive. Note that if you cause by regulation or stupid laws something to be expensive to produce/import and then

Existence of specific bad US regulation and overregulation caused this. Bad EU regulations and overregulation caused other problems. For example it is illegal for me to throw old socks full of holes into trash, I am supposed to take it to r

Maybe technically LLM can be converted to an equivalent Markov Chain. The problem is that even for modest context sizes the size of Markov Chain would by hilariously and monstrously large. You may as well tell that LLM and a hash table is t

In my experience (European country) even email with magic words "clear risk to health and life" can jumpstart the process.
