hopefully we will get somewhere with these studies. The lack of solid research on a disease that affects millions (likely a good percentage undiagnosed) is really tough for patients - and myself really, as I've found i likely suffer from this.
Finding out about autonomic dysfunction and small fiber neuropathy as I researched my own fatigue and finding out I likely have this has been very challenging.
A24 enforces a list of cinematographers you have to work with I believe.
Netflix enforces time-budget-nr of episodes per season and HDR tech spec requirements that seems to have lead to the single most recognisable “house style” in modern studios (a mix of tech specs and limited budgets I think).
The thing is they seem to have taken Romero as a template vs an exceptional individual that might have required two people to duplicate in output (which is common).
Their newest model wasn’t really SOTA. And honestly fable 5 was the most human like model I’d ever tried. It was an incredible jump.
And recently lots of Claude users at r/ClaudeAI are noticing Opus 4.8 has really increased in capability. Not new things but maybe redirected compute. It just feels like one of the best models ever, maybe because the compute that was previously assigned to Fable has been redirected? It feels incredible.
The minidisc was probably beautifully designed. I still have a player and some sample discs because I found them so beautiful. No wonder Ive and Jobs used to go “what would Sony do?” As a design round at early Apple 2.0
Decades. It took decades. My understanding is a lot of historians see the first decades as major economic growth while most British people actually became smaller and shorter due to malnutrition.
All people I know hear when they hear AI is - they are automating art, there are layoffs incoming, they want to build a data centre next to me that will make my electricity costs go up, they are automating the consumer help call center.
The positive views of AI are really increasingly concentrated amongst some of the tech heavy population.
It is absolutely a Chinese century. Even the comment above isn’t wrong per se - great power competition is normal during the interregnum, ie as Arrighi described it - one hegemon is rising while another is declining. But eventually one of them does rise and the world conforms to that - ie America in post WW2.
The issue with EU is its not one market, for funding or deploying a company of any kind. There is both no funding scale and no easy distribution scale. Same thing with any kind of lobbying you need to do to move laws to be more amenable to tech, you have to do it 20+ times. Nobody does this, which is why smart EU and UK talent migrates to the US, scales, then just uses the weight of their US business to change reality around them in the EU anwyay. For the most part.
LLM assisted search is now one of the best ways to look into dense and obscure topics though, particularly given as google search quality has degraded. All it needs is for you to read the sources.
Source hallucination has also come down tremendously.
75$ a month for a cell phone? I pay 18$ monthly for mine. This is Southern Europe where the average monthly wage is 1000$. I dont know who could afford yet another 75$ expense.
Can 5% of the population even pay for that? Some kind of huge increase in prices for compute and inference and companies maintaining large bills for AI assistants for key employees or teams (1000-2000$) seems most likely to me.
I knew this would be the conclusion. Again - good luck. You are always right.
If you’re right and everyone else is wrong about hundreds if not thousands of studies, then you should be writing a book, not comments in HN.
We started at “some studies have errors” and we ended in “an entire field of research is wrong”.
You have already decided the field has no valid studies. Even when given dozens of examples you picked one and made up a series of points about one study. You made mistakes, never admitted it, and now are calling into question an entire field of medical research.
