Don't be embarrassed. This article makes the mistake of _saying_ they're going catch the under-informed up to speed but then immediately dives all the way in to the deep end.
If it wasn't clear enough, I was saying your joke didn't land. Hence - don't quit your day job for a career in comedy. Which is indeed proper usage of the phrase. Sorry if you were offended - it was intended to be repartee.
For what it's worth, while I didn't like your comments, none of them deserved to be flagged - which this site has an annoying obsession with using to censor anyone's opinion who comes across with bite or even just contrarian, which has its place on the internet despite what the mods here believe.
Can you help me understand why people seem to think of Connections as a more robust indicator of (general) performance than benchmarks typically used for eval?
It seems to me that while the game is very challenging for people it’s not necessarily an indicator of generalization. I can see how it’s useful - but I have trouble seeing how a low score on it would indicate low performance on most tasks.
Thanks and hopefully this isn’t perceived as offensive. Just trying to learn more about it.
edit: I realize you yourself indicate that it's "just one benchmark" - I am more asking about the broader usage I have seen here on HN comments from several people.
In fairness, that was actually me. May want to double check the usernames. Both start with ch - easy mistake to make.
I would have participated more in the discussion but HN is telling me I’m posting too fast so I’m guessing a moderator didn’t like some of my harsh tone.
So your investments could be used to screw other people out of their money who are similarly financially illiterate/insecure?
It’s kind of crazy to me that there are somehow still staunch cryptocurrency proponents out there who have somehow ignored all the negative press it has received.
We did? I don’t recall an accessory like that for the nano. Seems it would have been too tall (wide?) to function as a watch. Happy to be proven wrong though.
