  • Companies are able to add this many jobs even with higher interest rates because they are still flush with cash from decades of low interest rates, lobbying, income inequality and PPE loans.

    Raising interest rates forces companies to spend their own capital to add these jobs instead of using money that the Federal Reserve prints to keep the interest rate low.

    Raising interest rates sucks in the short term but it is required in the long term and severely overdue.

    We can’t print free money forever just to have low interest rates.

  • sooo....

  • I’ve been an Automotive Technician for a couple decades now and I can safely say combustion engines have way more parts that fail and if you can use a youtube video to diagnose your ICE (very rarely is this possible) then you’re smart enough to do the same with an EV.

    There is way less parts on an EV and they are way easier to fix.

  • The article is an opinion piece that is intentionally leaving out what topics they claim are not being debated.

    At a time when science has been politicized, it is safe to say these topics are not up for debate. Reality isn’t up for debate. Especially when it is evidence vs opinion.

  • I smoked for 23 years technically. I was mostly vaping the last 9 years of that and used vaping to lower my nicotine gradually. When I got to the point I was vaping without nicotine it still took a while to finally quit, but I finally did at the beginning of 2020.

    Now I hate the smell and don’t crave them at all. I wish I would’ve done it sooner.

    Remember that you don’t actually want it. It’s just a chemical your body is addicted to.

  • In other words they require exponentially more input because the AI doesn’t know what it is looking at.

    It uses its perfect recollection of that input to create a ‘model’ of what a face should look like and stores that model like a collage of all the samples and then uses that to reproduce a face.

    It’s perfect recollection with an extra step.

  • The reason they fuck up hands is because hands are usually moving during pictures and have many different configurations compared to any other body part.

    So when these image AIs refer back to all the pictures of hands they’ve been fed and use them to create an ‘average approximation’ of what a hand looks like they include the motion blur from some of their samples, a middle finger sticking up from another sample or extra fingers from the sample pictures of people holding hands etc and mismatch them together even when it doesn’t fit in the picture being created.

    The AI doesn’t know what a hand is. It is just mixing together samples from its perfect recollection.

  • This is incorrect actually. The models these AIs run from by definition have perfect recall and that is why they require ENORMOUS resources to run and why ChatGPT became less effective when the resources it was allocated were reduced.

  • Human brains don’t have perfect recollection. Every time we retell a story or remember a memory or picture an image in our head it is distorted with our own imperfections.

    When I prompt an AI to create an image it samples the images it learned from with perfect recollection.

    AI does not learn the same way humans do.
