That's why I clarified that the current clinical guidance is probably too aggressive. Severity of symptoms, length of time on the drug, etc seem to be important factors but still the side effects are very personal.

I think it is more about tapering at a tolerable rate than any particular extended duration.

It will be interesting to see how the guidelines change once they're updated.

Did you read the post at all?

Their definition is clearly stated in the first paragraph:

    Using data compiled by the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the True Rate of Unemployment tracks the percentage of the U.S. labor force that does not have a full-time job (35+ hours a week) but wants one, has no job, or does not earn a living wage, conservatively pegged at $26,000 (in 2025 dollars) annually before taxes.

No, the strategy in Wordle of solving hard mode by guessing the target word vs in Not Wordle preserving along as possible in Not Wordle by not guessing the target word are not the same thing at all.

Huh?!

By playing Wordle well, you are essentially eliminating as much unknown words as possible each turn, e.g., SALET alone takes 12974 words down to 34 here today.

But this is like Wordle hard mode with the forced letters, so the optimal strategy is probably to invert and eliminate as little words as possible each turn.

I got pretty far here using weird words, but PIZZA turned out to be a terrible first guess for Don't Wordle (eliminating ~75% of the words):

    *      12974
    PIZZA   3169
    AQUAS    290
    SAWED     17
    MEASE      7
    LEASH      0

Is this an AI generated comment?

What do any of these words have to do with a person disassembling a camera in a surveillance dragnet?

The post is overloaded with false generalizations like this.

The post is just full of half-baked conjectures masquerading as facts... combined with "things they read" by unspecified authors and sources... the author seems to prefer engaging in AI doomerism as opposing to actually understanding.

> Diseconomies of Scale. Every new technology I can think of thrived, in part, due to economies of scale, where the larger the industry grew, the more efficient it got. AI is going in the opposite direction, where every new AI model consumes more resources than its predecessors. This may turn out to be the fatal flaw – the bigger the industry gets, the more its operating costs increase.

[Agreed] Newer gens of models are more power-efficient per task, not less.

This is a low quality post full of basic errors.
