Love mine. I can discreetly squirt mustard onto boring hors d’oeuvres.

Nitpick:

Maximizing shareholder values can include treating your workers well if you think happy workers are more productive and therefore help with profits.

Same with good customer service, environmental regulation following, and other things.

My prediction is that car usage will go thought the roof when AI cars work.

People can have a stress-free commute to a nice house in the countryside and work in the cities. Because the car is electric, it will be inexpensive to run.

So far, RFK is getting rid of some rather unvetted chemical dyes in our food. I'm ok with this.

When we all realized we needed a commuter car in the family to save a crap ton of money. Rather spend $4 in electricity than $25 in diesel for a 100 mile commute.

At that level of CO2, your brain is fucked even if you're otherwise ok.

I'm more ambivalent about CO2 than just about anybody, but I'd go to war over that concentration.

You're asking it to think and it can't.

It's spicy auto complete. Ask it to create a program that can create a violin plot from a CVS file. Because this has been "done before", it will do a decent job.

That's the Christian viewpoint in that Christians view themselves as the valid continuation of the first convenient between god and the Hebrews.

We're about to do that with Daylight Savings.

We nuked it in 1970 and came crawling back the next year. Futzing with the clocks is annoying, but apparently it's better.

Some seed oils are pressed under high heat and use hexane as a solvent like Canola/R@pe-seed.

While other seed oils are just crushed and filtered seeds we've used for millennia like sesame

It's the former that RFK is looking into.

As I understand it, when exhaling, the nose create backpressure that facilitates gas transfer in the lungs.

However, my nose is decorative, and I must breath though my mouth. No repercussions as I can mountain climb.

>>In general, many facilities have policies that mean they will not provide references for former employees.

We get around that by asking: "Would you hire this person again?" and we get a 80% answer rate. Tells us everything we need to know.

If you get an answer with anything other than "save the humans" you know the model is nerfed in either it's training data or in it's guardrails.
