Define your terms. Do contractors count? Do patent lawyers count? Do outsourcing services to other companies count?

GPT5 is some sort of quantized model, its not SOTA. The trust that OpenAI would be SOTA has been shattered. They were among the best with o3/o4 and 4.5. This is a budget model and they rolled it out to everyone. I unsubscribed. Going t

Yep, this caused me to unsubscribe. o3/o4 and 4.5 were extremely good. GPT5 is worse than both.

Absolutes, monastic take... Yeah I imagine not a lot of people seek out your advice.

Well, like, thats just your opinion man. And probably close to wrong if we are looking at the sheer scale of use. There is a bit of reality denial among anti-AI people. I thought about why people don't adjust to this new reality. I kno

I remember when HN would literally shadowban you for suggesting they do this. Now with 'troll farms'/'reputation management' being so ubiquitous, we'd call Apple irresponsible to not be doing this.

But I like the walled prison where I can't screw up and make choices for myself. I appreciate that Apple makes it so I can't accidentally give my coordinates and have some Monarch track me and murder me or leak my noods. +4500 upv

I am so happy I learned about Philosophical Pragmatism. If its useful use it, if its not useful don't use it. Replicated studies can likely be replicated under the same conditions. N=1 means you might be able to believe it, but if the

If the findings are replicated, thats fine, you can begin to trust. But the findings are often not replicated.

I'm not entirely sure how to do this, but I think it would benefit society to have Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus taught, and probably William James's Pragmatism. Wittgenstein is a difficult read, Pragmatism is

Thats the one thing about Apple products. You get all the features of SOTA but 5-6 years after its already been in use.

Hahahahahaha 4 years to pay off education for the most lucrative profession in the US. (And you assumed 80k/yr for living expenses... whats the median income in the US? 50-60k? hahahahaha) Yeah thats a steal. You can't really pain

'Easy' Well, I didn't know about this. I didn't consider it. I also would then need to spend a non-tax deductible amount on this. And IIRC Tesla entered the Fortune 500 before 2022 when that TSLS started. Then I'd h

Uh... You are talking about the highest paid profession in the US. There is no debt problem. I joke about how bad doctors are at math, but this is a pretty obvious case when Physicians are making 200-500k/yr and complaining about 300k

Why is the government paying for graduate education? I paid for my own graduate education.

I probably wouldn't care much about Tesla and Elon, but he scammed his way to become a fortune 500 company which made SPY and my 401k autobuy Tesla. Buying SPY, my mistake. Being incentivized to put money in my 401k... That is a bit ha

I'm not sure where you got this information, but it does not apply to Physician services who have gotten 5% year over year increases in medicare reimbursements. Physical Therapists? Sure. But the American Medical Association is a fierc

by resource_waste 1y ago
The longer I live, the more I see Physicians as people who are bad at math and/or who have parents who are physicians. There are a few people that are nither, but I think its safe to say at least 50% of physicians qualify as this.

Thank you for the heads up, I just uninstalled that app. I had it from 1 or 2 years ago and havent used it since. I feel like I'm being proven right that when selecting software, it should be open source and hosted on-site. Even if thi

It doesnt really matter if Pragmatism is 'Truth'. Its useful. If its useful, use it. If its not useful, don't use it. There is no knowledge claim here. It does matter if Platonic Realists are claiming circles are special pr

You could have an existential crisis if you keep reading about ontology and epistemology. I'm 50/50. Def sad there is no universals, but its also liberating. You would be classified as a Platonic Realist or Scientific Realist. I a
