There was already a lot of ML bullshit from the big data bubble ~ 2010 and before ChatGPT, together with all of the fuss about data scientists. But now it’s a 100 times worse.

The link doesn’t work for me.

Even if the initial intention is positive, I think this degree of dependency on external services is not realistic even if mega corps were not as bad as they are currently.

Could be that the unusual characters make the comment less readable.

Most gamers don’t want to get involved with PC building and just want something as convenient as a console to play their Steam games with good performance on a big screen. This can be priced quite above what a nerd would be able to build by himself with PCPartPicker.

Guild Wars 1 has a very interesting team based PvP with a deck of skills among hundreds you have to pick beforehand, it generated a lot of team creativity, metas, counter metas, updates breakings metas and generating news ones etc. It’s in my opinion way more interesting than the generic 5v5 with fixed skills per character that has dominated skill based PvP games since then (including League of Legends and Guild Wars 2, at least on release), probably because it’s more accessible for the mass.

This Wikipedia page agrees with this comment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_universities_in_continuous_operation. It lists University of Bologna as the oldest one in continuous operation from 1180–1190.

I looked for the original article, abstract:

Human capital—encompassing cognitive skills and personality traits—is critical for labor market success, yet the personality component remains difficult to measure at scale. Leveraging advances in artificial intelligence and comprehensive LinkedIn data, we extract the Big 5 personality traits from facial images of 96,000 MBA graduates, and demonstrate that this novel" Photo Big 5" predicts school rank, compensation, job seniority, industry choice, job transitions, and career advancement. Using administrative records from top-tier MBA programs, we find that the Photo Big 5 exhibits only modest correlations with cognitive measures like GPA and standardized test scores, yet offers comparable incremental predictive power for labor outcomes. Unlike traditional survey-based personality measures, the Photo Big 5 is readily accessible and potentially less susceptible to manipulation, making it suitable for wide adoption in academic research and hiring processes. However, its use in labor market screening raises ethical concerns regarding statistical discrimination and individual autonomy.

I don’t have the time nor the expertise to read everything to understand how they take into account the bias that good looking white men with educated parents are way more likely to succeed at life.

If that doesn’t work, see a plumber.

All of them have a negative side effects of the prescription is not respected. It seems the toxic dose per kilogram for aspirin is similar to the one for paracetamol, and the one for ibuprofen is about twice more.

Which is generally even safer than aspirin and ibuprofen.

Maybe one starting point is the 2 tones of CO₂ estimated to be the annual budget per person to stay at 1.5°C of global warming (already passed). For people living in rich countries, staying under the 2t requires active efforts, it’s possible since developing countries do it, but they are often considered too much of a hassle by the average rich country person: little to no individual car, little to no plane, home energy performance investments, smaller home, less animal food, shopping local etc.

As far as I understand, for the basic needs, it’s totally possible to sustain the demographic peak that should be around 10 billion humans in 2100. But certainly not with the current level of resources consumption in rich countries.

See also the 8 other planetary boundaries that we would need to respect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_boundaries

climate change, ocean acidification, stratospheric ozone depletion, biogeochemical flows in the nitrogen cycle, excess global freshwater use, land system change, the erosion of biosphere integrity, chemical pollution, and atmospheric aerosol loading.

Does that mean I will have more choice in which surveillance agency I want to be spied by?

I heard eels love neck kisses.

My cousin in Darwin, OP also means original post, I got the joke. The comment was about the science behind, so that’s what I replied about.

It’s not clear apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_DNA.
Although OP seems to confuse non-coding DNA (the ~98%) and junk DNA. Some non-coding DNA has clearly identified roles, so it should be well below 98% of junk, and there’s a lot left to explore.

Candidates, as you said, not candidate. Again, that means there’s a choice. Having a single candidate per party is normal, most democracies work like this. But there are multiple parties, so multiple candidates can be voted for by the people at the general election. I am confused why you don’t consider this difference with a single party system. Please explain.

I think you missed “The Party”, there’s a single party so there’s no choice. Although the two parties situation in the USA is also bad for democracy.

Also I think Russia is way more interested in destabilizing Western countries while China is focused on Asia and Pacific.

It will keep happening. LLMs are the perfect tools for those huge meat grinding consulting companies. Their industry is all about looking good, not factual quality, just like LLMs.
