I’m not a “plant-based person”, and that you use this as a sort of insult is telling. But I am into science, and everything you’re saying isn’t supported by the facts of nutritional science. If you don’t enjoy oatmeal, fine, eat something else. But this misconception that grains are somehow bad...

55 is the cutoff for low. You must be thinking about instant oatmeal, which has reduced fiber and typically a lot of added sugar. The diabetes council says to start your day with oatmeal if you’re diabetic. Other grains, like bulgar, are really low GI. https://www.thediabetescouncil.com/10-d...

Corn and oatmeal are both low GI foods. What are you talking about? Corn is a “resistant starch” that improves insulin sensitivity. Again, the “avoid grains” mantra is almost always wrong unless you’ve a particular condition that requires it, and general overweight-ness isn’t such a condition.

Eat massive amounts of oatmeal and you’ll lose weight and become healthier in the process. I guess you didn’t actually read my post before ranting. It was all about weight. And I used “healthy” as a synonym. End of the world eh? I’ve never met anyone who become obese, or couldn’t lose weight...

Why skip grains and starches? Oatmeal and corn are incredibly healthy, they are also grains (corn is a starchy grain). I challenge anyone to become overweight from oatmeal... not gonna happen. Ditto starches. The key is to eat the actual grains and tubers and, vegetables in general, instead of...

Because it's 2019 and employees don't all work at the same facility and take lunch break at the same time. I have no idea how I'd even reach my colleagues all over the world if not by company email. If I wanted their personal email address, I'd need to use company infrastructure to even ask...

Having contract stipulations is a normal thing and is unrelated to status as an employee; in fact all contracts have stipulations. This may well be anti-competitive given Amazon's position, but it has nothing to do with other recent debates about employee vs contractor status.

What’s the “huge difference”? One is more crude, but they are both insults.

Well, it’s a wheel kinda thing

I started reading this from book 1 in the 80's. Funny thing that I've never realized it was popular or well known. Edit: Mixed up my 80's with my 90's. Good thing because that means I'm 10 years younger...

just "less"? I imagine you mean "fewer" but don't understand the logic. More but smaller towers would be preferred. It builds in redundancy and requires less energy.

You're creating a narrow range of ML implementations where "black box" would be a critical failure and then extrapolating to all possible ML implementations that "black box" is always and everywhere a failure. This is wrong, and inductive reasoning is a dangerous game.

I'm sympathetic to your point, but this really isn't true. I don't believe that "being better than people" is good enough, I believe that being better than "not AI" is good enough.

You're selecting a scenario to assume your conclusion. But in traffic safety, for example, we could easily demonstrate the efficacy of AI if/when it exists. The point is that the "black box" can certainly be a critical failure in certain cases, but it isn't necessarily a critical failure in all.

"as much" is a critical element of the first sentence you quoted. Even then, the context is that even with the black box and the implied difficulties of error correction via root cause analysis, the outcome is far superior to non-AI solutions that allow for error correction via root cause...

It’s slightly further than the kill radius of an M67 hand grenade (5m). Fun stuff.

As are most trucks in the US.

And the south has a monopoly on tasteful truck design? And you represent the collective views of the south?

What you are quoting is “equating”. It’s an analogy and can be useful framing to demonstrate logic. I so often encounter statements just like yours that confuse an analogy with “equating” then followed by righteous indignation. It’s silly but can be quite frustrating to engage folks who default...

It’s an appeal to law fallacy as justification for one’s priors.
