Nothing has changed. We grew up saying "as if,” "eat my shorts," "whuzzzzuuupppp," and more. Not because they meant anything profound but because kids like to repeat things. Our source material was TV commercials, movies, and cartoons because that's what we had. But I've no doubt if we had "doot doot" on the early internet we'd all still be going "67" in the same way some of us still go "all your base are belong to us" or "yattaaaaa"

From the article:

"It’s worth noting that most working professionals do a lot more than submit research reports to their boss, which is all that GDPval-v0 tests for."

"OpenAI says that it believes Claude scored so high because of its tendency to make pleasing graphics, rather than sheer performance."

So by wide range of jobs, they mean jobs consisting of only submitting research reports with pleasing graphics. And based on recent measurements, about 1/4 incorrect or entirely hallucinated.

It's not from fossil fuel production. It's from fossil fuel use.

Apple said it won't work for EU residents or those with an EU Apple ID. I interpret that to mean it will work if you are in the EU visiting and are neither a resident or have an EU ID.

I'm sorry for your loss :( And that's always the risk of a low widthrawal rate, that you're leaving money (and enjoyment of it) on the table, of course, that's your choice, and depends on where you want the money you don't use to go, be it charities or family.

The numbers have been revised a little, closer to 4.5%, and that's still super conservative (that's the amount of money you'd need to spend to survive the worst case scenario for 30 years). With 1.5 Mil in savings, you could safely withdraw $65K/year and be safe. The average of safety is closer to 7%, which means that you only need $1M to retire (yeah, with a bit more risk). Here's a really good article that explains it: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fa-mag.com%2Fnews%2Fch... And of course, there's also there's Bergen's book "A Richer Retirement: Supercharging the 4% Rule to Spend More and Enjoy More"

Shouldn't we be blaming the hackers? I mean, if I left my front door unlocked and then got murdered, am I the one to blame or is the murderer?

Exactly. I was coming to say that.

Hmmm... I don't know... an army of Chinese robots roaming the US. Kinda makes me nervous.

Please note that most of the billionaire's net worth is actually the value of the stock they own in their companies. When those values go up, so does their net worth. They're not actually "extracting" money from the economy, leaving people with no money to save. They don't have piles of cash under their mattress or in their bank accounts.

That's not what went down. The US asked Apple to make a special version of the OS that would not wipe the terrorist's phones after multiple failed attempts to log in.

Even so in the parts of Alaska outside of the Arctic Circle there's summers where the sun rises at 3AM and sets at 9PM, then in the winter it's sunrise at 9AM with sunset at 3PM.

In Fairbanks at the winter solstice the sun rises at 10:58 and sets at about 14:40.

At the summer solstice it's 02:57 and 00:47. Even though the sun officially sets year round it never really gets dark between mid April and mid August because the night periods never leave the twilight stage.

That *should* mean there are more males at the bottom end where people really need help

More at the top and more at the bottom, and the effects on earnings are not symmetrical. Once somebody is cognitively deficient enough to be considered a ward of the state the amount of resources they require to survive remains more or less constant with diminishing IQ but on the other end of the curve income potential does not have an corresponding cap.

but there are no such differences in average IQ between males and females

I've seen claims to the contrary stating that there is a small difference in the average and a significant difference in standard deviation.
