    Well veganism is about reducing suffering. If the cows didnt suffer to produce that milk, like no forced insemination, calfs aren’t separated from their mother, male calfs aren’t slaughtered, the cows don’t have unnaturally large udders, you only take the over production and not steal the food from the calf and the cows live a good life then you could argue that the milk is vegan. But milk is not produced like that so milk is not vegan.

    I sit on a IKEA barstool without cushioning behind a jury rigged standing desk. Actually solved my back pain that I got from an office chair. Probably because I’m forced to sit more at the front of the chair since it’s hard to push the chair close to the desk once I’m sitting on it. I can’t lean back, so my back stays straight for longer than when I used an office chair.

    I’m of the opinion that using a really good comfy chair everyday for 8 hours that relaxes your body is probably not good for you in the long run. It makes your body weak. It’s like sitting on a sofa all day.

    I know people that sit on the floor all day on a sturdy cushion in a lotus position behind a coffee table they use as a desk. They never have pain in their back or anywhere else from sitting. If you can sit with your back straight and your hips are at 90+ degrees angle so your knees are below your hips you will reduce the chances of getting issues with your back significantly and it doesn’t really matter what kind of chair you use.

    You get cavities from sugar not crooked teeth. It’s that our food has become softer over the last few thousand years. Our jaws don’t get enough exercise during their developmental years. So they don’t grow large enough for our teeth. It’s also why many people have impacting wisdom teeth.

    Yeah. I remember a story about an anthropologist who went to a indigenous tribe, IIRC somewhere around the pacific, he took photos of everyone’s teeth. Everyone had straight teeth from the kids to the elderly. Then a generation later someone else did the same thing. Went to that tribe and took photos. Many kids had crooked teeth. The only thing that changed is that they adopted a Western diet.

    Can’t remember the name of that anthropologist, though.

    Problem:

    A fruit vendor receives a shipment of 500 apples. It is known that for every bad apple in a bunch, the entire bunch spoils. The apples are packed into bunches of 10. After inspecting the shipment, the vendor finds that 5% of the apples are bad.

    How many bunches of apples will spoil due to bad apples?



  • It’s not a bug. Just a negative side effect of the algorithm. This what happens when the LLM doesn’t have enough data points to answer the prompt correctly.

    It can’t be programmed out like a bug, but rather a human needs to intervene and flag the answer as false or the LLM needs more data to train. Those dozens of articles this guy wrote aren’t enough for the LLM to get that he’s just a reporter. The LLM needs data that explicitly says that this guy is a reporter that reported on those trials. And since no reporter starts their articles with ”Hi I’m John Smith the reporter and today I’m reporting on…” that data is missing. LLMs can’t make conclusions from the context.
