I think you mean all systems by design do not distribute wealth and prosperity evenly. Thats actually not a thing.
kryogen1c··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
> That's not responsive to OP or coherent

The claim was Ds are more procedural than Rs. Asking what process the Ds followed to attempt to run, and then back out of running, biden (who again, was very obviously and publicly mentally incompetent) is clearly a rebuttal to a presented point.

Oh? Thats why Biden tried to run in 2024? Because democrats procedurally try to elect obviously incapable presidents?

kryogen1c··on OpenAI expands ChatGPT ads with Sponsored Agents
> Who actually wants this?

I mean, not to be rude to this and all sibling commenters, but obviously everyone? I feel like this comment has no basis in reality.

People want things cheaper and they tolerate ads. Those two things put together means everything gets ads and gets cheaper? YouTube exists for free and costs billions to run. Companies A/B test ad tiers and paid non-ad tiers, and the results are always the same.

kryogen1c··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
> too much faith in the professionalism

I dont know that its a matter of professionalism. Everyone in the world has known that AI can generate video and audio that is imperceptibly fake, for years. And thats to say nothing of man-made forgeries in the years prior.

I have a hard time seeing people on the front line throwing down arms and running away because of an unsourced twitter clip.

I have no idea, but Im certain that twitter recordings do not put frontline forces in disarray.

an encrypted private communication channel is very different than public social media

kryogen1c··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Can't read the Twitter link, but that sounds made up.

Where in the battlefield decision making process are they listening to social media recordings to make combat decisions?

This is not what happened on J6, and is specifically why it was not an insurrection.

I assume youre being sarcastic, but ive heard serious thinkers, like sam Harris, sincerely make this argument.

kryogen1c··on When fruit is scarce, these monkeys hunt animals
Yup. Lots of stories of old timers dying of a heart attack in the pen and only finding glasses and watches left.
kryogen1c··on When fruit is scarce, these monkeys hunt animals
Its probably true of most animals. I raised a couple of pigs and we intentionally never fed them any meat, even though they'd probably eat it, because we didnt want them to get a taste for it

kryogen1c··on St Lucie Nuclear Reactor Unit 1 manually shutdown, 3 control rods drop into core
> Of course, but that's not what happened here

They dropped rods and had to scram, unclear what part of that you think is not relying on a safety feature. Why do you think they scrammed?

>this is largely the design operating correctly and prioritizing radiological containment.

Is that largely what is was, or entirely what it was? Im not sure what your point is.

> there are maintenance and procedural questions about why the rod was dropped.

I agree, that's why I said it.

> People will likely get fired over this.

I dont know why youre telling me this, you're the one that called this a nonevent

kryogen1c··on A SAT Attack on Tarski's High School Algebra Problem
Man I wish I understood anything you said, or anything in tfa. Math has to have my personal gold medal for highest desire to learn coupled with total unwillingness to.
kryogen1c··on St Lucie Nuclear Reactor Unit 1 manually shutdown, 3 control rods drop into core
>generally a non event

depends on what your priors are. Is a dropped rod a fukashima or chernoble international emergency? No.

However, depending on the design characteristics of the core, dropping rods lowers the heat distribution proximal to the dropped rod(s), but may result in higher peaks distal to the rods as physics characteristics attempt to maintain the average, which may exceed design limits.

Furthermore, rods aren't supposed to drop. How that came to pass is a matter that requires honest investigation - manufacturing/quality control, maintenance practices, personnel error? Much to learn to ensure safety.

Saying "we just had to rely on a critical reactor safety feature and scrammed, this is a nonevent" doesnt quite hit the mark.

Rabbits are a good input calorie to output meat ratio, and their excrement makes good cold compost. They breed and litter relatively easily. Theyre also easy to house.

A Gaylord is a type of box that fits on a pallet. There are multiple ways to palletize products, like shrink wrapping or metal banding

kryogen1c··on How Doctors die. It’s not like the rest of us (2016)
Did you read what you linked? It's not a study of the effects of cpr, it's a list of facts about cardiac arrest that occurs outside a hospital. It explicitly says cpr is life saving:

>Survival chances decrease by 10% for every minute that immediate CPR and use of an AED is delayed.

You may be shocked to learn that practices such as this exist in the modern US military as well.

kryogen1c··on The bottleneck might be the air in the room
>that's 0.2% CO2, it that CO2 is the result of respiration, it means that about 0.2% O2 was consumed,

I dont know anything about human respiration, but I know a little about chemistry and theres no reason to assume this is true. Basic stoichiometry.

According to a random article on the internet[1], nominal co2 production is 80% of oxygen consumption.

Your point appears broadly correct, just wanted to point out some faulty reasoning that could lead to incorrect results in the future.

> For complex recipe graphs beyond vanilla train routing is also way more efficient

This had never ocurred to me. Starting to develop a picture in my head that looks a lot like train-served dropshipping. Continuous vs demand signals like top-up and running out? The space savings seem extreme.

Guess I have to do a train play through :-/

kryogen1c··on I used Claude Code to get a second opinion on my MRI
On the flip side of this problem, novel best practices lag the medical standard of care, other human failures like corruption and competing priorities notwithstanding.

For example, we had to advocate for certain practices during the birth of our first child that became routine during our second several years later.

So, neither side is guaranteed correct, doctor or citizen researcher (which did not include LLMs in my case, for the record). The truest answer is also the most useless one, applicable to all fields: it depends.

The real question is: if you embrace being a layman, whom do you trust more: LLMs/the internet or experts, like doctors? I think the answer is pretty clearly experts.

This still confuses me. It's clear they wanted to 10x licensing costs and /10 customers which assumably raises margins, but i still dont see it working out.

My international enterprise and all our business partners moved every broadcom product we have to a competitor. On top of that, they were very aggressive and combative with their sales+cease and desist threats.

They earned enemies for life. Some of us care about business relationships. Broadcom is dead to me and anyone that will listen to me.

FTA: First, “seed oils” is a marketing term, not a nutritional category. What we’re actually talking about are vegetable oils high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats
