liquidise

This is a refreshingly candid article and was an absolute breath of fresh air. Wishing all the best to the team.

Important context that many of these dollars are counted multiple times.

Ex: you bet 100 and win, bringing your holdings to 200. You bet another 100 and lose, back to 100. You’ve gambled $200 but have arrived at the same number you started with.

I have friends who gamble in excess of 100k/yr total. In general their net is ± 3k. A lot to spend on a hobby, but the total is often misleading.

This reads like a precision vs recall problem.

If I say every model is trained on CSAM, I too will correctly identify 100% of the models that were. Says little about my false positive rate though.

Not OP but my frustrations come from it being impossible to ignore and outright distracting.

I've found the same thing showing with Claude-coded/designed front ends that overuse the same semi-monospaced fonts, Blue/Yellow/Red palette and rounded corner borders. It isn't that it is bad, but it often isn't fit for purpose.

You're right it wont change anything, but authors shouldn't be surprised when people who care about their time/attention comment on low/no effort pieces.

Gell-Mann Amnesia strikes again.

This really captures the reality of longevity, at least in US culture. Whether or not blue zones are verifiable or real, the ingredients to statistical longevity are well understood to minimally include: eat better and maintain a level of fitness.

Those are not easy to do when laziness, sedentary device time and fast food options are just so easily available. So instead, we end up with frozen meals that almost certainly don't contain the same nutrients and definitely don't include the same effort as having to prepare a meal by hand while walking about the kitchen.

Medicine has extended longevity, but the relative ease of our senior years is perhaps robbing us of the quality of that bonus time.

This may be one of the least informative articles i’ve read in a while. Apart from the headline i can’t imagine what compelled it to be shared here.

Left-footed and right-handed. I find my "handedness" follows where the activity is driven from (upper/lower body).

Soccer, snowboarding, batting, golfing: lefty

Writing, throwing, tennis, pool: righty

I have an opposite reaction for what I assume are reasons we agree on.

Social media has been a transparent race to the bottom for many years. The sooner it is shittified beyond repair the better. AI flooding content to them should help speedrun its descent, or maybe I’ve giving the average user (above child age) too much credit.

Thanks for posting this. It should be the link in the OP frankly.

The Gorsuch concurring is quite the read, but wish more Americans internalized its final paragraph (excerpts below).

Yes, legislating can be hard and take time. And, yes, it can be tempting to bypass Congress when some pressing problem arises. But the deliberative nature of the legislative process was the whole point of its design. ... But if history is any guide, the tables will turn and the day will come when those disappointed by today’s result will appreciate the legislative process for the bulwark of liberty it is.

At a big enough scale, previously large differences are effectively 0.

50k/mo is 600,000/yr vs 360/yr at 30/mo. Thats existential for a 1MM/yr company. Neither register on a balance sheet for a 1B/yr company. They are both closer to 0 than being a major cost.
