Such an inconsiderate and loaded question.

Screening an embryo that could not survive outside the womb and deciding to stop the pregnancy based on the results is not the same as "wishing the kid wasn't born".

I would say that recall is the most important metric here though. I'd want it to catch all the issues.

False positives are easy to ignore.

That's a very concise and illuminating way to think about what's happening, IF (and only if) you already know how these models work. Thanks for that.

Why is Haiku the benchmark though, with code generation don't we primarily care about the quality of the code - not the speed or efficiency at which it's generated?

This is a mostly American forum and some people want to piss on the EU to elevate themselves. Europeans do the same to the US but about politics, health care, work life balance, and quality of life. You know, the stuff that matters :D

> overall embarrassment

You're right, and it's also why this device is such a non sequitur for Apple. Almost all of their successful products are trendsetting and cool (iPhone, mac, airpods), this is one causes embarrassment and I just don't think it's fixable.

Germany went from labour shortage to hiring freezes in like two to three years. This has nothing to do with unions, which have been on a long downward slope for decades. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1356608/trade-unions-ger...

Yeah, because (and here's the trick) they are clever and do less work.

Optimizing things usually means "think of a way to do the same thing with less effort".

It's a "you can't tell me what to do" reaction, to be honest.

I wish I could upvote you twice, because that's exactly what's happening.

THANK YOU!

So many people, including very intelligent and well-informed ones, do not understand this. The US gets truly outsized benefits from having the reserve currency.

akie — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:21:44 +0000

Every post about the EU here gets absolutely flooded by negative comments of people who tell me that whatever the EU proposed won't work, governments shouldn't do these things, the proposed legislation is ineffective, it doesn't go far enough, they're just trying to extract money from our successful American companies, and so on and so forth. It's just a neverending diarrhoea of anti-government anti-European underbelly sentiment.

If the people in the Netherlands can do it - where it's flat, windy, and rainy most of the time - then most people in the US can also do it. If it's too hot, go in the mornings.
