Small rich counties with vast majority homogeneous populations?

Not popular.

We know exactly where the majority of crime is in the US, you are correct, down to the neighborhood.

Now… let’s say you were to call the national guard in to safeguard those areas, how do you think that would go over by those cities governors and reaction media? I guess the answer depends on the year.

This comment really confirms the "everyone is twelve years old now" theory.

"If there's crime, let's send in the army!" Of course you'd suggest that, you're twelve.

I don’t remember suggesting that. But, go on with your strawman, you are doing great.

"Now… let’s say you were to call the national guard in to safeguard those areas"

Ah yes. Good point.

Someone uses a scenario as reductio ad absurdum, you can yell “THEYRE ONLY 12” and claim it was an endorsed suggestion.

I mean it, you’re doing great. Keep digging.

Well… let’s be fair… outside of tech specific posts, this place is Reddit/r/poltics maybe the lite version. This is an echo chamber on at least a dozen major topics.

I’ve found a few times that it was easier to not start with a blank page. Have Claude write a thing, see instantly how wrong it was, but use the idea clay to get started. That’s a legit AI use.

Treating it as an intern has not let me down yet. Treating it as a co-worker has.

Correct.

Great output is a good model with good context… at the right time.

Google isn’t guaranteed any of these.

Shit, explain Reddit with a P/E much higher than nVidia.

Makes pretty much no money, has no real opportunity to make money, only a small segment of fanatics actually like it… and yet… infinite stock price.

I’ll give you the point they aren’t actively and intentionally losing money. My point is that everything is fake and… lame.

Meme aside, I’ve honest seen more people switch to Linux this year for “windows really sucks now” reasons than ever before.

I was there last year myself. Decades of “eh, it’s not that bad” to “nope no, no fuck this”.

I assume he’s mostly joking but… how often do you look at the assembly of your code?

To the AI optimist, the idea of reading code line by line will see as antiquated as perusing CPU registers line by line. Something do when needed, but typically can just trust your tooling to do the right thing.

I wouldn’t say I am in that camp, but that’s one thought on the matter. That natural language becomes “the code” and the actual code becomes “machine language”.

And you could say that the difference is that high-level languages are deterministically transformed down, but in practice the compiler is so complex you'd have no idea what it's doing and most people don't look at the machine code anyway. You may as well take a look at the LLM's prompt and make an assumption of the high-level code that it spits out.

So… the sun is hotter now than it was what… since the 1950s? The 1850s? The Jurassic period? What scale is do you need to make this claim reasonable?

Also, I see a lot of things presented as facts in your comment, you seem to have convinced yourself quite thoroughly.

10% every billion years. So negligible on our timescale, but it is significant if you talk about ancient climate conditions like this thread does.

complex life on earth is half a billion years old (cambrian explosion 550ma ago), so the sun shouldn't be that much of an factor.

What about the possibility that the models so far have always been wrong and if they wrong in the wrong direction you would never hear about them?

Precisely, it's just a selection effect. There's always uncertainty, and scientists are heavily incentivized to "prune" models that show large effect sizes. The result is the observed systematic underestimations, punctuated by (suspiciously monotonic) upward revisions any time the new data comes out.
