Exactly this. “I want to win the market. I would prefer that it be a regulated market, but if not, so be it. I’m still playing to win.”

The number of children per family has been plunging since 1800. https://populationeducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/a...

We’re reaching further into the past than great great grandparents to get to the large families for farming but sure. Calling it a “fine” to have kids is really bizarre framing tho…

25 minutes on the toilet means you’re either sitting there doomscrolling or you need to do something about your digestion.

We address the vulnerability by retreating to a private space. The phones come out just to address boredom. Sitting on the toilet is boring. > I will say that playing my Nintendo D…

> Your great great grandparents didn't effectively get fined for having each child. It was quite the opposite. What are you talking about?

I could imagine how a potential interviewee might say something like “I’d tattoo myself with your logo for a chance at a job” and a CEO might respond “Hell, yeah! That’s the kind o…

“You disagree with me about the meaning of this word so clearly you have a poor grasp of the language” is absolutely an insult.

I hope this weird redefinition of bike shedding doesn’t take off. It’s a useful and meaningful term and repurposing it to mean AI slop is negative value. Thankfully until this thre…

I don’t understand how LLMs make more stuff “bike sheddable”. What LLMs do is allow people to contribute low value garbage to all areas, but we have a word for that and it’s not “b…

> But I'm prepared to accept it was just variance. The problem is, that variance undermined the competition for many people Honestly I found it really frustrating that Balogun got …

It’s a good term. :) I originally heard it in the context of picking paint color for the bike shed, which is probably more on point for software engineers, most of whom would not b…

Bad management will certainly tank a team, but he’s right. The draft structure also helps to even out the teams. In the NFL, winning is more about quality management and coaching (…

Dude, this is gross. Stop calling people racist for disagreeing with you about Argentina. It’s not racism to call out concerns about Argentina’s play or reffing bias. You should be…

Thanks. I know what bikeshedding is. I’m asking what cyandees specifically means. The normal definition of bikeshedding doesn’t seem to make any sense in his sentence. I’m assuming…

What is bikeshedding supposed to mean here?

Fernandez deserved each of his yellow cards. Especially the second for that reckless and dangerous tackle. Cucurella did not violate the rule. He touched his mouth for an instant. …

> Now, you seen more countries qualify, and you see countries who used to not qualify, dropping ASAP (in the deathmatch 16th matches, right after poule). > So what did we get out o…

The NFL is so balanced not because it’s a “super” league but because every team has the same salary cap. The best team and the worst team all have to spend essentially the exact sa…

I really hope AI is going to help turn the tide from this “everything runs a copy of chrome” architecture. It’s never been cheaper to build fast native UIs than right now, but ever…

This is getting way into the weeds but the fact that costly signals are more trustworthy doesn’t mean all signals are costly. An “in this house we believe” sign is signaling but if…

They aren’t trained on compressed plaintext so I’m not sure of the relevance there. But regardless it’s my understanding that’s modern models are trained with orders of magnitude m…

These models are trained on way more than just books. GPT-3 was trained on about half a terabyte of filtered plaintext and the training corpuses have grown significantly by then by…

The books in question are not antique. The Twitter post makes this claim but so far as I can tell it’s not based in fact. 404 Media published a story about this as well and cites a…

That would be a clear case of copyright infringement under current law. You can’t make a copy of a book and then give the original to someone else.
