> And the best thing of all: they crawl the stupidest pages possible. Recently, both ChatGPT and Amazon were - at the same time - crawling the entire edit history of the wiki. And I mean that - they indexed every single diff on every page for every change ever made.

Is it stupid? It makes sense to scrape all these pages and learn the edits and corrections that people make.

It seems like they just grabbing every possible bit of data available, I doubt there's any mechanism to flag which edits are corrections when training.

Requirements:

  Mac Plus or higher
  5.5MB of hard disk space
  1.5MB of RAM
  HyperCard 2.0

Sure, that's why archive offers a macintosh emulator that starts by clicking the large image at the top of the page.

Thinking of all the baseball applications here: catcher signals, third base coach, head coach etc.

Why would it be useful to have technology detect signals? Aren't people already going to be doing it?

Genuine question, I don't know how baseball works.

Hand signals are commonly used in baseball to surreptitiously communicate intent to teammates without giving away your strategy to opponents. I think what GP was getting at is that this technology could be used to automate the reading of hand signals. I'm not sure it would be effective, as the pro baseball players are already quite sophisticated at both reading and obfuscating hand signals, at least at the highest levels of the game.

I'm not sure if the complexity of the codes is significantly higher in the pro teams, but I found this video on baseball code decoding pretty fun.

Combined with this, it certainly seems like there's potential for a fully automated pipeline

Likely they have some anorexia/thinspo guidelines that this ad didn't adhere to. Search google for "thigh gap thinspo"

Here is an article on a block of East African countries trying to prevent this [0] and the backlash [1]

I wonder why the out of pocket price of Oxycontin spikes so dramatically each January (see figure 4)

Insurance deductible.

What is a dating websites incentive to couple people up? They have seemingly reverse incentives too. The better a dating website is the less potential users it might eventually have.

I don't think that anyone here is trying to say that this is the only industry in existence that has reverse incentives (in that their success could limit their future).

I think it's a bit of a stretch to compare online dating to an industry which, quite literally, destroys peoples lives and often unfairly targets disadvantaged groups.

the article talks about treatment with Vivitrol which is similar to suboxone, except it can't be abused (and therefore has no street value) and is a monthly injection instead of a daily.

Naloxone/Narcan is for immediate treatment of an overdose

they should add "1997: When this website template was created"

a friend of mine spiraled into years of undiagnosed anxiety, depression and fatigue and was told by many doctors it was all in her head. a few years later she was diagnosed with lyme disease, got treatment and now has a new lease on life.

The effectiveness of placebo treatment is well documented.

Which raises a good? question: "Should we treat people with placebos [without their knowledge] if it might improve their lives?"
