Here’s some sources:

A $1,000 increase in per-pupil spending over 3 consecutive years led to a full grade-level improvement in both math and reading achievement

A 10% increase in school spending improved test scores by 0.05 to 0.09 standard deviations

Out of 18 statistical estimates examining the relationship between spending and test scores, 11 showed positive and statistically significant improvements

Oh wait these sources agree with you and that guys probably full of crap.

Not only that, he’s never running again, he has literally nothing to lose, and doing this isn’t going to affect votes/popularity of whoever runs next.

99% of people in his position would do the same.

I haven’t been there in a while but I remember there was a sub of volunteers that were around for years that went around just describing images, way before AI LLM were really a thing.

I’m assuming this is something new being pushed by reddit itself, but as you said, it’s a good thing regardless.

You want to know what the stats were calculated from? Because it sure as heck wasn’t “how many bombs has USA ever dropped ever”.

Over 337,000 bombs and missiles dropped from 2001-2021. This equals an average of 46 per day over a recent 20 year period.

Facebook doesn’t need to spy, the users give it up willingly.

Disagree, if every user of these 10 apps did this it would end up a lot better for them all than every user choosing their favourite and giving them $50. If they choose randomly it would end up roughly the same, but in general people are going to end up skewing towards certain apps over others when forced to choose a favourite.

And if doing it randomly ends up the same as splitting it on a large scale, I think this is the more sensible approach personally.

I’ve made custom flashcards for anki to study stuff and I tested this for some similar things and it was a lot faster and easier. Anki feels like it takes forever so the investment to make a custom set is only worth it for things you need to study for a long time.

If all you want is to generate a bunch of flashcards fast and you have a pdf with the info presented clearly it’s an easy method.

I’m not in USA but if there are 2 movie style bad guys and 1 says pick me I’ll kill strangers, and 2 says pick me I’ll kill strangers and your friends and family, maybe you as well, and then some random 3rd guy says, pick me or no one and I won’t kill anyone, but one of those 2 bad guys will be picked for you via a coin flip, but at least you get to feel good that you didn’t personally pick the death of people, it’s not illogical to pick the first one.

Maybe you have such good morals you can pick the 3rd or refuse to pick at the expense of possibly additional people you care about, or maybe you don’t personally have anyone in your life that would be affected by the 2nd bad guy so it doesn’t matter to you, but if that’s the case, you’re equally guilty of choosing the choice that makes you feel good just because you don’t have to deal with the consequences of your choice and can ignore what’s actually happening.

First, I do get a different brand, that’s my point. Second, now you’re telling me to buy it in bulk to always have around? I don’t want to spend that much on an already expensive chocolate and it’ll probably just go fast from my kids anyway. Plus in summer it’ll either melt from the heat or be rock hard from being in the fridge, neither is ideal.

Also, usually I’ll just buy it as a treat when we’re already out. If I’m trying to split a chocolate between 4 people at a shopping centre, I’m not going to be carrying around a knife, I want to be able to just easily break it into 4 sections. Nor am I going to think before we leave “I should grab 4 of those chocolates I bought online in my pocket in case we want some”.

I have no problem just getting a different brand to avoid the hassle, all I’m saying is maybe I’d get theirs if it wasn’t designed so stupidly. But I’m sure they don’t care enough about getting business from 1 random guy to change it, so I’m fine getting others.

So now you’re telling me to order a small bar of chocolate online to come God knows when, and pay postage for an already expensive chocolate… If I want a single serve of chocolate I don’t want to wait for it to come by delivery days later, these aren’t reasonable solutions.

Tony’s only comes in 180g bars where I live, there is no smaller size. If you’re going to say I should buy a different one then, well I thought I made clear I already do because of their stupid design, but if I wanted to support them because of other good reasons, they only have the one stupid option either way.

If I have to get a knife out to eat my chocolate bar it’s already become more hassle than it’s worth.

They could have rectangles and squares of uneven sizes that still have normal break lines, they choose not to. Heck they could even have triangles that break neatly if they really wanted to by putting a diagonal line down some squares or rectangles.

The perfect solution is to research which to buy for 9 months and then end up buying none.

I use DWService. Now everyone go ahead and tell me why I’m stupid.

If someone doesn’t know the answer to something and they guess, or think they know the answer but don’t, they are wrong. If they do know the answer and intentionally give a wrong answer, they are lying.

If someone is in a competition or playing a game and they break a rule they didn’t know about, they made a mistake. If they do know the rules and break it, they are cheating.

Lying and cheating fundamentally requires intent. This is important no matter what you’re referring to. If a child gets something wrong, you should not get mad at them for lying. If they make a mistake in a game, you should not acuse them out cheating. There is a difference and it matters.

ChatGPT literally cannot think. It’s not sitting around contemplating it’s existence while waiting for inputs. It’s taking what you say, comparing that to everything that it’s been trained on, assigning a bunch of statistics, and outputting something based on more statistics that hopefully is correct and makes sense.

It doesn’t know if it makes sense. It doesn’t “know” anything. It’s just an incredibly sophisticated version of “if user inputs ‘Hi how are you’, respond ‘I am well, how are you?’”.

It can’t do things with intent. Therefore it cannot lie or cheat. It can simply output wrong or problematic text based on statistics.

They also have hydropower which provides a constant base load, and basically they have just heavily optimised their distribution of power to be very efficient. In emergencies they are also able to import power from neighbouring countries.
