  • Skimmed some of the studies as well. A few of the studies reported an estmated incidence rate of 4 per 1 million. And that’s just incidence rate. Meanwhile the mortality rate of covid that year was 1850 per million cases. Some of the names themselves are dead giveaways.

    One of the other mentioned 7 kids who had complications from the vaccine. In the conclusion, it basically says “we gave them advil and they were good.”

    It’s just more fear mongering and gish gallop.


  • Agree 100%. Especially when you’re doing more complicated queries, working with ORM adds so much complexity and obfuscation. In my experience, if you’re doing much of anything outside CRUD, they add more work than they save.

    I also tend to doubt their performance claims. Especially when you can easily end up mapping much more data when using a ORM than you need to.

    I think ORMs are a great example of people thinking absolutely everything needs to be object oriented. OO is great for a lot of things and I love using it, but there are also places where it creates more problems than it solves.




  • Well, definitely fits the prompt. Can I ask a follow up question? Why do you think it’s unethical to eat meat?

    I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the concept in general. Factory farms are hell holes. But I’m having trouble connecting your two points. But to me, the ethical issues with eating meat come down to the suffering the animal endured. If it’s a meat substitute, or eventually lab grown meat, that suffering doesn’t exist. So the ethical issues don’t apply.


  • Yea, if only there were real world applications for AI. Like image/video generation and editing, text generation including code, audio processing and generation, object recognition and image classification, fraud detection, medical diagnosis, predictions in general, protein folding, or even just general data analysis. Then it might actually take off.

    OpenGPT is just an LLM but that’s only one small facet of AI. When people talk about AI and only mean LLMs or even one specific guy/company, it’s a clear sign they don’t know any more about AI than that one Vox article they read 2 months ago.
