I don't agree with firing the engineer, but if your company is paying for a tool that could help your productivity and you don't even try it, I would like to know the reason for that. It's a job, they are paying your time and they are paying for a tool that can help you. At least try it.

Of course, Jim Jones and L Ron Hubbard, David Kersh. I realize there have always been people that are coocoo for cocoa puffs. But so many as there appear to be now?
Internet made possible to know global news all the time. I think that there have always been a lot of people with very crazy and extremist views, but we only knew about the ones closer to us. Now it's possible to know about crazy people from the other side of the planet, so it looks like there's a lot more of them than before.

These marketing stunts from Perplexity made me stop using their product. For me, it's an indicator that they don't believe in their product, so there's no reason for me to do it either.
This effectively kills this benchmark.
Honestly, I have mixed feelings about him appearing there. His blog posts are a nice way to be updated about what's going on, and he deserves the recognition, but he's now part of their marketing content. I hope that doesn't make him afraid of speaking his mind when talking about OpenAI's models. I still trust his opinions, though.
We’re at the audiophile stage of LLMs where people are talking about the improved soundstage, tonality, reduced sibilance etc
You need to burn-in your LLM by using for 100 hours before you see the true performance of it.

> Many people (will only speak to America), view being fat as a literal moral failing. Gluttony or overeating are not the sin, but being fat.
I feel like I've seen and heard more of the opposite: The trend is to avoiding anything that might make someone feel blame for arriving in their situation.
With obesity the trend is to blame some combination of "our food supply", trending science topics like microplastics or the microbiome, and genetics.
I've heard countless people explain to me that dieting doesn't work for them. It's not hard to find people claiming they ate <1000 calories per day and still gained weight. Even Eliezer Yudkowsky, a figurehead of the "rationalist" movement, has written about "metabolic disprivilege" and claimed that his genetics do not allow him to lose weight through dieting. This thinking runs deep.
What's interesting about GLP-1 inhibitors is that they modulate the intake portion of the diet, which shatters these previous notions that some people had "metabolic disprivilege" and simply could not lose weight by reducing caloric intake. They just make it easier to reduce food intake.
I agree with you, but it's important to remember that "dieting down" is way harder for a lot of people. I am and always was skinny through my life. Whenever I need to eat less, I can do it without much effort. However, I have friends who would faint if they tried to diet down the way that I do. I don't know why that happens, but I've seen happening and it changed my perspective about this subject. If Ozempic can help with that, I will never criticize someone who uses it.

I helped my dad lose 50 lbs by finally, after 10 years, getting him to give up bread, sugar, potatoes.
It took buying him 2 months of a bluetooth glucose monitor. Once he saw what certain foods do, he believed me finally.
At 65 years old, healthier than I remember since he was 40 and I was a teen.
It doesn't require some weird injection.
Just scale that solution to millions of people and the comparison will be relevant.

I love these kind of websites. After finishing my drawing, I spent way more time than I expected looking through other people drawings.

Not only should my boss behave like he's putting down the family dog, I should be able to face my VP in single combat with my weapon of choice.
I know your comment is going to be deleted because HN is not the place for these kind of comment, but you made me laugh loudly, so thank you.
