LLMs are an approximation of all the human media they consume. An LLM cannot exist with out human circuitry. It's at best an ersatz language user.

I checked sources, turns out literally tens of millions of people vocally and loudly disagree with you. I think it's not helpful to anyone to come in here and be so resolute and so…

"People who I am critical of don't like me" is not particularly surprising, to be honest.

Makes total sense in hindsight, here's hoping this gets confirmed. It's also just generally a good way for young kids to develop. Kids learn a ton by figuring out "can I climb this…

If you are considering investing tens of billions into infrastructure for manufacturing in a country, it seems like a business risk to choose a country that is currently facing gen…

> Principal repayment is not an expense. In the links I posted several comments above, you'll find that it is considered an expense for the purposes of personal savings. I don't di…

The original poster is correct, the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. With no savings (in the personal finance sense). Example: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/bankin…

> There is nothing about savings that implies they must be liquid. Here are several examples that disagree. Yes, in a strict Keynesian economic sense it is saving but saving is dif…

> Which means that when a home is not underwater, the owner has savings (or breaking even, of course, but that is as equally unlikely and is for all intents and purposes considered…

Being underwater on a mortgage and not being able to save aren't the same. A mortgage that is underwater means the value of the home is less than the loan balance. That can happen …

Okay bud, you win. I'll go tell all my gardening buds that the no till practices are "um actually, that's tilling". Any other pedantry you want me to pass along while doing so? I c…

Does it need to be a force in the AI industry? Are we confident the ai industry is healthy and sustainable? I'm certainly not. Could Apple continue to just make good, desirable har…

They didn't even cover the chemical composition and harsh structure of the regolith, which makes converting it to soil impossibly difficult and probably a good source of novel lung…

I appreciate this. Suggesting that mental health is "just" a chemical imbalance is maybe addressing a very complicated system with a narrow fix. That said, I'm likely biased to be …

They have on label use as weight loss medicine. It might be discovered first as a side effect, but it's genuinely considered a primary desirable effect these days.

You keep saying it's my confusion. My friend, there is no lazy speaker. It is merely the accepted and understood use of the term in casual conversation. I understand your semantic …

This post mortem is sort of classically underdone. It describes a step that was taken that was in the path of the error, but is not the root cause. The root cause here is not "we c…

The farmers I know, who farm thousands upon thousands of acres, are also no till. Plenty of farmers doing the same.

Breaking up soil into large, mostly intact chunks, without turning it over, aeration. See the links above from the peer poster.

Yep, that's the one.

Have you use a broad fork? It's like 4-6 blades spread across ~4 feet. The mechanism of action is totally different, and no, it does not break up the soil in the same way tilling w…

The point is to build, over years, the kind of soil that fosters germination. You can mix in additives every year and till, or you can build a small ecosystem over time. Maximizing…

This person never made any claims about reduction of labor. No till farming and no till gardening are about regenerating soil, not reducing labor.

Tilling, in gardening, usually refers to lifting spadefuls of soil up and out of the ground, turning them over and breaking up the clumps. It's like a kitchen aid stand mixer on yo…

Mechanically, tiling and aeration are wildly different operations. What's your "hmmmm" all about?
