bleuchase··on Not by AI
The number of AI luddites on HN is fascinating.
bleuchase··on AI for developers and Google Workspace
Perhaps. That’s my standard for my team and the managers that report to me.
bleuchase··on AI for developers and Google Workspace
If you’re only talking to your directs for 10-15 minutes every two weeks you are neglecting your duties as a manager. The standard is 30 minutes 1x week with every direct report.
bleuchase··on Facebook LLAMA is being openly distributed via torrents
> Hundreds of men (and yes women) full on acting like they lost a spouse and posting constantly about it for weeks.

How can you claim to know any of those “people” posting there are authentic? Even amongst technologists I don’t feel the implications of technology like this are well understood.

They’re keeping Slack. Zoom is going away.

Copilot is already built on Codex, which was built by OpenAI https://openai.com/blog/openai-codex/
bleuchase··on US annual inflation declines to 7.7% in October vs. 7.9% expected
Stupid people exist. It’s happened. In fact, it’s a pretty easy mistake to make if you don’t understand fractions. 4 > 3.
bleuchase··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
> The irony of talking about vegan "propaganda" and "grass fed beef" in the same sentence...

Those statements are in two separate sentences. Now please, finish your attempt at a thought. Is it a conspiracy theory that cows eat grass?

bleuchase··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
> Turns out that basically the most common oils and red meat have ratios of 20:1 (the wrong way) and so just avoiding oil and red meat ends up accomplishing the same goal.

It’s inaccurate and misleading to group red meat and oils together.

Beef, and grass fed beef in particular, is generally 5:1 ratio. Or less. Chicken has more omega 6 than beef. And seed oils (not all oils) have many times that. Some >50:1. Thanks for the vegan propaganda though.

bleuchase··on Google pays ‘enormous’ sums to maintain search-engine dominance, DOJ says
> The word "lie" is kinda hysterical, don't you think?

No, it’s 100% accurate. Your response is delusional and a poor attempt at manipulation.

> What do you expect -- the engine collects all 2 billion and puts them in a queue somewhere, just so that the one person in 500,000 who actually tries to see them all can?

If it isn’t possible for users to see those results then you should only display the number of results that can be accessed. That would be “not lying” in this case.

bleuchase··on $250k for your AI-first product startup
Capped means the investor is putting in a floor for the minimum stake they’ll accept in the next round. So regardless of next funding round they would get own (original investment)/(new valuation with maximum value of cap) = % of company owned. Uncapped means the denominator will be whatever new valuation is.

Same service OP is talking about? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32434474
bleuchase··on A Master Perfumer's Reflections on Patchouli and Vetiver
Check out Aaron Terence Hughes. Truly unique perspective on the chemistry of fragrances you won’t get elsewhere.
bleuchase··on Learning The Elite Class
Hell, Harry did it too.
bleuchase··on Manhattan rents cross $5k threshold for first time
> Housing and land is a non-transable good, and therefore there should be heavy state intervention on it

That's a bold claim. What led you to believe that's the case? And what is a "non-transable good"?

bleuchase··on BMW heated seats subscription costs $18 per month in South Korea
You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.
bleuchase··on California Law Requiring Board Diversity Is Struck Down
That’s a parody account. Not that anyone can tell the difference at this point.
bleuchase··on Hackers gaining power of subpoena via fake “emergency data requests”
> The statements about this being "unfixable" are utter nonsense.

It’s not unfixable. It’s broken by design.

bleuchase··on Google will soon ask Australian users to show ID to view some content
> Since EU already has this, it's been very few videos on yt where this has been asked. I just avoid them.

Do you think that may be part of the purpose of such a system?

bleuchase··on I'm Too Risk-Averse for Index Investing
And what about the other half? Probably options with fewer or no stocks. You can also do in-service rollover to an IRA somewhere else with more options and no custodial fees.
bleuchase··on I'm Too Risk-Averse for Index Investing
> This is disingenuous advice

It’s not advice. It’s reality. You don’t need to hold stocks in your 401k if you don’t want to. What happens as a result is your responsibility.

bleuchase··on I'm Too Risk-Averse for Index Investing
Risk comes in many forms. Eg the risk of under-performing market indexes vs the author’s approach. Incomplete picture without that.
bleuchase··on I'm Too Risk-Averse for Index Investing
> There's something really insidious about tying 401ks and other retirement accounts to the stock market.

Insidious? That’s a bit rich. You can allocate money in your 401k however you want. It’s self-directed. If you don’t like stocks keep it in bonds or cash.

bleuchase··on Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date
> I haven't read any story that said: "It's a horsey drug for horses! If you take it, that means you're a horse!"

That’s been said multiple times. By government agencies and media conglomerates. Amazing what you can find when you look for it.

Like the old saying goes, a leopard can change its spots.
bleuchase··on Just Say No to Central Bank Digital Currencies
> So as govt has the power to seize bank accounts anyway, CBDC would not make any difference at all in this case, it's a question of govt accountability.

So because it’s possible we should consent to a system that makes it programmatic and infinitely scalable across the whole population?

You don’t seem to get the implications of government-controlled programmable money.

> but the climate crisis needs direct attention in order to stop, reverse and survive the impacts of climate change.

Since you brought it up, are you aware of how global average surface temperature is measured? Or the adjustments that have been made to historic records?

bleuchase··on Ask HN: Gun control in US in light of Russian invasion of Ukraine
So it’s “absolutely delusional” to arm Ukrainian citizens against the Russian army too?

Stupid idea. Move on.

Yes? Not use it?
