blanket statements are always correct.

@ibuildthecloud totally agree except for visual UI. I keep giving the same prompt to gpt and claude and the difference is always staggering, claude is just so much better at frontend that isn’t completely ugly. For everything else, it’s the opposite experience

I don't like dealing with different model providers. On top of that I have no desire to use other models. With the exception of a two-month period, I've exclusively used OpenAI models and I haven't missed out on a thing. And the cost is fine.

@adastroworld @ShadowyZephyr I also don’t like the choice of “Fascination”, but how was his prediction not correct that there would be a stark difference between how people protested / approached the issue now versus then? I mean people are literally still going to Kamala speeches to protest for gaza 😭

@tort995 @ShadowyZephyr I think it’s bad to be true to yourself, if the “yourself” in question can’t genuinely understand why people think bombing kids and hospitals is bad “Fascination with …” is insane phrasing for a … we are funding

@adastroworld @ShadowyZephyr can we really argue that people by and large understood what they were protesting for when so many couldn’t discern a difference between how Trump and Harris would handle the issue?

@ShadowyZephyr @tort995 You can think that if you’d like, that doesn’t make Yglesias correct even if that’s what he meant. The idea that they wouldn’t know what they were protesting for is pretty odd unless they were offline entirely, everything was in social media/in the news

@ShadowyZephyr @adastroworld For sure, it’s the only reason i can stand his takes on my feed. He’s remarkably true to himself

@tort995 @adastroworld my tl;dr is that I think Yglesias is wrong about many things. But he makes falsifiable predictions on his blog and sometimes confesses error. Any evidence that he's worth "ignoring forever" would apply just the same to Robinson and the pundits he likes.

@ShadowyZephyr @adastroworld the utter mishandling of gaza by the left will need to be thoroughly studied. it feels like a perfect storm in many ways. re-reading his tweets, I agree with your perspective on Yglesias. But you really have to be generous to him to get there

@tort995 @adastroworld I do think a lot of the Israel/Palestine stuff was driven by social pressure rather than serious thought about humanitarianism and a lot of people didn't even know what they were protesting for. So I think that's what Yglesias means when he calls it sus.

@adastroworld @ShadowyZephyr I also can’t help but feel that Darfur, being a civil war with no western backing, is a particularly strange example

@tort995 @ShadowyZephyr I do wonder what other war he would expect them to protest against But, we also have protests for a lot of things at schools, so idk

@ShadowyZephyr @adastroworld is gaza getting more media attention really surprising? the US directly arms and funds Israel

@adastroworld Robinson pulls some stuff out of his ass to say Gaza is worse than any other war, but more people died in Darfur than in Gaza, so it really depends on the metrics you use. Regardless, Gaza got like 100x the media attention of those.

@tenobrus Definitely non-fiction because I expect non-fiction books to at least be a little bit correct/real/true If it were somehow confirmed that it was 100% hallucination-free, then I wouldn't be annoyed either way

you read a long written work, posted pseudoanonymously. you genuinely enjoy it as you read it and find it entertaining/valuable. afterwards you find out it was fully AI generated (unattributed) are u more annoyed by this if it was fiction or nonfiction?

@adastroworld @AnniesLute @ShadowyZephyr fair enough, i feel similarly. but it’d be helpful to have numbers that back up this feeling. i’m not sure if this divide in consumption has meaningfully changed recently

@whatisevenn @adastroworld Not to mention that it doesn’t really explain anything since the ratio has barely shifted since the 2010s

@adastroworld @tort995 This in itself is meaningless. If the 10th percentile have a strong standard of living compared to other countries then it doesn’t matter if ultra rich people exist in the same place as them.

@AnniesLute @adastroworld @ShadowyZephyr I think you might be focusing too hard on the headline here. Moody’s analysis hinged on income for both the “top 10%” distinction and the target statistic calculation itself.
Antoine Levy@LevyAntoine

Using a national personal savings rate (from the Financial Accounts) of about 7%, this can be rearranged as: Z=(Y/0.93-X*0.07/0.93) But this is completely wrong (and by construction not a measure that can be released every quarter...).

@adastroworld The monthly vs. ever-poor rates one is really interesting. But are the others compelling? #1 seems to go too far back to be an explainer, #2 and #4 I wouldn’t expect to impact every economic class in the way we’re seeing, no?

@theo i made a thing where i gave different models different skillsets and they sit around and argue until they reach consensus on a plan turned out to be pretty useful

The "branch off with another model" feature in T3 Chat is still my favorite thing ever. So easy to get a 2nd opinion
