- Comment on OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws 18 hours ago:
One interesting consequence of the rise of AI is that fools place them in higher and higher positions of information parsing and decision-making, it will be the AI marketers will have to bullshit, and depending on how decent that AI ends up being, this could be quite difficult.

Im not a Bible scholar. I have always taken the distinction between abolish and fulfill here to be, I’m not here to say the old law was wrong and so let’s get rid of it, I’m here to say we have completed the period of time for which the old law was right, and we have a new way going forward for this new time.

The Federation doesn’t attempt communication or diplomacy.
I understand where you’re coming from broadly with your thesis, and I agree with you more than I want to. The above line struck me, though, because The Left writ large at least has been trying to communicate and attempting diplomacy with our Bugs for decades, and especially lately it’s become essentially useless.

I get the slightly-downvoted state I found this comment in, but I thought it was a perfect reference.

I saw the reply in my inbox and had a reaction to “females” there, like “ugh, not one of THESE folks who still talk like that.” Because I didn’t remember the nature of this thread until I got back into the comments :)

Bonus points if you instead say she is being hysterical.
- Comment on McDonald’s CEO is grappling with a ‘two-tier economy’ as he slashes prices on value meals—and signals backing for a minimum wage increase 2 weeks ago:
I definitely get that from a reasonable perspective. But then I think about the words being used, and part of me wants terms like “upper” and “middle” to represent portions of a whole that have broadly similar sizes. But that doesn’t really reflect the realities of the meaningful differences between two different lives usually meant by the terms, so that part of me needs to take a back seat.

I’m not even sure I would say we are arguing. You provided your version I offered mine. We disagree, maybe, but I don’t think either of us is concerned enough to make a concerted effort to change the other’s opinion.
Yes, I did just argue over the semantics of argument itself. What of it?

Not to mention “an object” is just a construct describing a collection of molecules that themselves don’t necessarily sit still or all stick around.

I’d go with 20% as upper class. I think of “wealthy” as having money that lets you come and go as you please, just buy a fancy car if you want without really having to think about the finances of it.
There is a D&D-type game that measures wealth as a rating of 0 to 5, and you can make essentially unlimited purchases of items costing up to 1 below your wealth rating essentially at-will. So someone can buy a sandwich whenever, someone else could take a decent vacation/cruise whenever, another could buy a decent car without worry, one could buy a nice house like it’s nothing, and finally someone who could buy a mansion or private jet without real concern. Those in the couple-hundred-million to billions range.
I’d draw the Wealthy line somewhere in the mid-4 range on that scale. You could also consider it as “the point where safe/moderate investments could continue supplying a family plenty of comfort without working for two+ generations”.

I was curious how many U.S. households earn at least $170k, and this website responded to asking about 170k by saying that the 80th percentile is $165,068.

I wasn’t making any kind of reference, myself, to be whooshed by. I’ve used this name around for a little while and just wanted to agree with your statement, then noticed the partial similarity in our names and wanted to comment on that, to, as if someone were trying to say my handle but got stuck on an audio loop: “Major— major— major— major—”

As someone who used to work with “large” (to normal people; 10k-60k rows up to maybe 70 columns) datasets in Excel exclusively, I also hate Excel.

As someone whose name escaped the skipping record that your name is, I concur.
