To describe this as reasoning is incredibly misleading.The technology is amazing, but stochastic processes can't reason, its simply not how they work. The output may have the appearance of a reasoned response, but that is not even synthetic reasoning, amazing though it is.

Beyond reasonable doubt doesn't mean impossible,any more than on the balance of probabilities means beyond reasonable doubt.

And even the headline gets it wrong. They asked 1,000 people, over half of whom say they lacked basic statistical understanding.

The first question was: “How much do you understand about statistics and p-values?”

not probability, p-values.

I had to look up p-values to check it meant what I thought it did to avoid making a fool of myself in this comment. I knew I was probably right, but possibly wrong.

The same goes for my assumption that this survey was engineered to deliver a bad result. Why? because it makes it easier to get funding for a the author's solution to the problem. Again, probably right, possibly wrong.

Statistics, like math, is a language, first learn the vocabulary, then you can judge the meaning

So what is the mechanism that the administratuon would use to block access? I get how China could block access to Chinese LLMs, but any startup that can't or won't bypass a US imposed block on a Chinese offering was going to fail anyway.

This makes complete sense in an environment where people transition from noob to senior engineer within the same company.

It makes less sense in an era when tenure is better measured in months than years.

It makes even less sense in an era of LLMs.

One area where it might be relevant is the military. People are more likely to stay for longer (unvalidated assumption) and the same personnel jacket follows them if they are transferred.

It might also be thought of as a guide as to when to jump ship. If you have managed to get yourself categorized as a C, then leave. Start fresh somewhere else, take the learning with you, and discover if you have what it takes to make it as an A or B.

So firstly:

The guy who created Gmail is now 49 years old.

Why does that blow me away?

Secondly, where else does this apply beyond hardware, beyond the world of tech even?

It would have been interesting to see if there was any difference relating to CYP1A2 (Cytochrome P450 1A2), the fast metabolizers and the slow metabolizers.

This is why I never go on vacation to South Beach Miami.

This also works for kitchens. What is most interesting is that it begins to impact what one buys. It turns out that, after a decade or so, one can predict which 'must have' gadget or appliance is actually just a very seductive dotless wonder.

Stop buying from/submitting to discredited publishers.

This also applies, on a larger scale, when one adds data to a medium like a sheet of paper, the graphite or ink adds to the mass of the storage medium. But does this constitute data? The maximum mass would be achieved by covering the entire sheet with graphite/ink which, it could be argued is not data (unless you consider it to be a binary cell in a larger byte of data). I don't know the physics of thermal paper, but I suspect that it might be the opposite. My point? This is not evidence that data has mass, it is evidence that transcribing data onto a storage medium may change the mass of the storage medium, and that change maybe positive or negative.

Perhaps I should have this carved on my tomb stone...

Feeling smug as I type this on my 'boring' pixel 10

Pay to enter would increase the risk of submitting a bug report. However, if the submission fees were added to the bounty payable, then the risk reward changes in favour of the submitter of genuine bugs. You could even have refund the submission fee in the case of a good faith non bug submission. A little game theory can go a long way in improving the bug bounty system...

if everybody eats the whole foods they can afford, they will be healthier than if they eat an ultra high processed food diet.

The cost of living issue could actually work in favor of those with less money as they can afford less of the unprocessed meat and cheese, and would have to 'settle' for more lentils, frozen vegetables and other incredibly healthy and inexpensive food.

yes, I know the cultural reasons that will make this switch highly unlikely, but that is disconnected from the pyramid.

The popular takeaway from the pyramid will not result in a decrease in the popularity of takeaways, ready meals and other UHP foods.

The polarization of the debate is as unhealthy as the eating habits that desperately need changing.

"The first food group listed is literally meat and dairy."

that's because the pyramid is presented pointy end down.
