To elaborate on this, if the individual in Somalia didn't want to die from said cancer and preferred better regulation, they would readily move to Ohio.


I sincerely hope both of you are just trying to make a joke. I don't think a web forum like this one is the right place for it, though.


hope all you want i think understanding what this site reveals about the world view of investor/dev types is a kind of sociological? shock.

its like everyone learning during covid their neighbors would kill every service worker to avoid the inconvenience of making their own coffee. it leaves a mark.

see what happened to the poor n-gate.com fellow, burned him out


Dollar street [1] (linked from the article) by Gapminder is a fascinating resource for learning about what life is really like for many people.

In 1994, the photographer Peter Menzel did a project where he photographed families with all their belongings in front of their home: https://www.menzelphoto.com/gallery/Material-World-Family-Po...


Almost a kind of domino theory, if you will?


Most likely is that you are in some control group to determine effects of ads in general.


Nah. I get ads in the app and on other browsers. It happened after I was futzing around with dns settings years ago. There’s some combination of whatever I did that keeps chrome ad free. It has persisted through iOS updates as well.


The intersection of entities whose security is based around "responding to every CVE quickly" and the entities that care about supporting OSS projects has measure zero.


well... our core users are ISVs (who distribute commercial software into enterprise controlled, self-hosted environments... think big banks, governments, tech companies). They care about supporting OSS (almost 1/2 of them are open core themselves) and their customers mandate that they care about closing out CVEs quickly in the software they're consuming from them.


Mathematics is such a wide field and the questions asked here are ill defined.

If the comment is "the AI founder bros are hyping it up and it's not as good as they claim", I think we all agree that's true. LLMs are good, but exactly how good depends on many subjective points.

If the question is: "can we come up with questions that are easy for some tiny niche set of experts, but basically impossible for an LLM", I think the answer will always be "yes", especially if you can make "niche set of experts" more and more niche every time.

If the question is "will mathematicians be unemployed in a few years", obviously the answer is also "no".

If the question is "can LLMs be used to speed up mathematics research", the answer is "yes and no, depending on what you're doing".


This is my favourite book, it's hilarious and it kind of mirrors how I go about my life: pondering every little detail and how everything fits together.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing as dullness though?


In the US, that is an unthinkably bad swearword for some reason.


That's heavily dependent on regional/cultural factors. Among a younger and (mostly) gayer demographic, the once-feared "C-word" is very commonly used, especially in its adjective form.


How do you use it as an adjective? The bad thing was always labelling someone with the word, but there isn't really any other way to use it.


We Aussies have many ways to use it as a compliment

Sick cunt, Mad cunt, Good cunt Etc


5 year amortization is pretty realistic I'd say. A100s (came out 2020Q1) are still in heavy use. (I think V100s from 2017Q3 are starting to be phased out a fair bit.)


Another similar thing is to leave an easy sentence half-finished so when you come back to it, there's an obvious first thing to do and hop back in.
