wesleywt··on Japan chain uses AI to gauge staff smiles, speech tones in QoS push
Using smart tech to do stupid stuff. We have millions of years of developing our social interactions to know when someone is fake.
wesleywt··on Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain
We are going to need to know the rate of this happening. And who said it happens?

One of the propaganda strategies Russia uses is to disengage the population from politics. It might a be protection mechanism but you will see many of them say that they are not political. It is interesting to see that this strategy is being used in Western politics too.
wesleywt··on I've stopped using box plots (2021)
You need to develop the intuition in the first place to read box-plots. The author argues that there are other plots where you don't require intuition.
wesleywt··on I've stopped using box plots (2021)
This is exactly why the author says you should stop using Box plots. The plot is easy to misinterpret.
wesleywt··on Monitoring marine litter from space
You stop production by showing it's harmfulness.
wesleywt··on Apollo calls AI a 'bubble' worse than even the dotcom era
Bitcoin is at a two-year high.
wesleywt··on Earth just experienced its hottest 12 months in recorded history
There are always these strange very dismissive comments that show people on the opposition of climate change have no clue what they are talking about. A one-liner on an internet forum does not disprove climate change. But it intends to muddy the waters and confuse.
wesleywt··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
Why did the board fire Sam in such a weird way? It shows that they are the wrong people for the job. If they wanted to get rid of him they should have done a better job than alienating everyone at the company.
wesleywt··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
Yeah, Sam will not turn 40billion into 0 billion
wesleywt··on UK Parliament undermined the privacy, security, freedom of all internet users
And so America was born.
wesleywt··on A study on robustness and reliability of large language model code generation
Just as AI is being overhyped. There seems to be an equally silly trend on HN to undercut its obvious and massive impact.
wesleywt··on A study on robustness and reliability of large language model code generation
Yes, GPT is an aid not a programmer. You should still be doing the programming while ChatGPT gives you quick solutions to problems without having to look up Stack Overflow.
wesleywt··on A study on robustness and reliability of large language model code generation
Meh. I started coding professionally in the age of AI. My productivity is way higher than it should be. I don't let the AI "write" the code for me. I use it as a companion that I asked question of and suggestions.

It suggests solutions to problems, I add the complexity. So far my code has been both clear and performant. This should not be the case at my level.

wesleywt··on LK-99 isn’t a superconductor
This is not bad science. This is science working as intended. Claim followed by verification. I only wish other fields was this good.
wesleywt··on LK-99 isn’t a superconductor
What did Nature do wrong in this case. Be specific. And show us where the findings are replicated. That should be easy.
wesleywt··on LK-99 isn’t a superconductor
Do not judge for yourself because you are not a dense material scientist. Comments like these pose themselves as intelligent. But intelligent people know that they don't have the expertise to judge everything and do defer to experts in the field. And the experts currently are not able to replicate the findings.
wesleywt··on Open Letter To Nature Medicine – Call to retract "Proximal Origin" paper
Give the evidence of lab leak. Biological evidence or GTFO
wesleywt··on The Rise of AI Girlfriends
Weird replies. It is obvious the women are dating men over 30.
wesleywt··on Sinead O’Connor Condemned Church Abuse Early. America Didn’t Listen
Should speech targeting violence and discrimination against a minority or "protected" group be allowed on a private platform? It is certainly offending people to call for their extermination.
wesleywt··on UK version of “Online Harms Bill” wants to prefilter content without due process
You are committing massive hasty generalizations.
wesleywt··on UK version of “Online Harms Bill” wants to prefilter content without due process
The Great Firewall of China will become the norm of the internet not the outlier.
wesleywt··on Sinead O’Connor has died
We all thought that, because we did not realize at the time how corrupt the abusive the catholic church was.

What she did was real bravery to stand in the face of so much opposition and mockery from us at the time.

It seems for some people they are still from that time.

wesleywt··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
X-genius throwing a brand in the toilet.
wesleywt··on Climate records tumble, leaving Earth in uncharted territory – scientists
Amazing that now the effects of climate denial by the right, the right-winger in the comment tries to deny it.
wesleywt··on Stanford president resigns over manipulated research, will retract 3 papers
The problem is not with science, it is your science illiteracy. You never accept scientific research as "true" until it has been verify and repeated by independent sources. It has become the culture to glorify unexpected and "interesting" results in the media and society at large. But you should find these "interesting" but not necessary believe it to be true.

We do get unbelievable findings such as CRISPR, but beware these will be very few and far between.

wesleywt··on Kelly Rowland couldn't have used the =HYPERLINK() function to message Nelly
Not caring about Excel does not make you stupid.
wesleywt··on The Nova Kakhovka Hydroelectric dam in Ukraine has been blown open
No. Russians are trying to stop the counter offensive. This move will free up troops to defend Melitopol. Capturing that city effectively blocks land supply route to Crimea.
wesleywt··on Over 70% of US household Covid spread started with a child
The link you provided does not discuss retraction rates. Rather its about papers citing retracted papers. I hesitate to make conclusions about your bias at this point.
wesleywt··on YouTube will stop removing false claims of 2020 US election fraud
I don't think you understand any of the words you have just written.
