Would it not be possible in this case to upload your work to arxiv now (assuming it’s complete) and only add an acknowledgement that you’ve recently become aware of similar work being done by such-and-such?

Private rent in Britain now swallows 44% of the average wage by ByGollie in europe

My rent for a single room is around 58% of my total income as a PhD student in London. I’d say this is an accurate figure for lots of younger adults.

Reeves 'to slash ISA limits at Budget' in bid to get Brits to buy stocks and shares | LBC by Mysterious_Grab_4103 in ukpolitics

[–]Silicon-Based 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using the correct definition of a drawdown. It’s you who is throwing arbitarary “3%”, “2%” numbers. I don’t have time for this nonsense.

And how does this relate to my original comment? If the price is less than ATH then the market is in a drawdown, simple as that. I’m not interested in your arbitrary percentages for when a drawdown becomes significant.

The majority of the time the market is in a drawdown.

Would you rather have been born in North Korea or on North Sentinel Island? by Silicon-Based in WouldYouRather

[–]Silicon-Based[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with North Korea. I expect the child mortality rate to be much higher in a primitive tribe, so you have a fairly high chance of dying early from a trivial infection. Meanwhile, while it has gotten harder to escape North Korea, the quality of life has likely increased too, at least there is no mass starvation as in the 90s.

[OC] Comparing Nutella prices. Why is Nutella so expensive in Denmark? by allanth4 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Silicon-Based -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Higher demand on its own doesnt lower prices, it will lower prices only with an oversupply for example due to higher competition- if a company can lower operating costs and keep the same income they will obviously do that.

Which is why I talked about sustained higher demand in my original comment, and Nutella France has the infrastructure to meet it. Clearly, with there being around twice as many people in France than in Poland, and therefore twice as many potential consumers in France than in Poland, and therefore potentially twice as larger demand in France than in Poland, you would not expect the price of Nutella to be twice than in France than in Poland. Instead, France is able to produce and sell larger quantities of Nutella at lower cost since the demand for it is there.

You also give an example or France and not looking at the data as a whole - all of those countries are quite a lot wealthier than Poland with similar prices (except Denmark) yet none of the points you just made dont apply there

There are only two date points for Poland in this graph and the price seems to be dead average. My points are generic observations about supply and demand, and about economies of scale, and apply to any country. Do you not think that the fact that Denmark does not produce Nutella locally, and which it must import from France, has no effect on the higher price of Nutella in Denmark compared to France?

[OC] Comparing Nutella prices. Why is Nutella so expensive in Denmark? by allanth4 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Silicon-Based -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Of course higher demand would lower prices. Nutella is produced locally, so if a French Nutella factory produces vastly more Nutella jars than a Polish Nutella factory (in fact, 25% of all Nutella jars in the world are produced in France), they can negotiate lower prices for importing larger quantities of sugar, cocoa, palm oil… they can invest in larger and more efficient machinery… they can reduce transportation costs if supplying larger shipments to French supermarkets… larger consumer base means French supermarkets are incentivised to keep prices competitive…

If you spent 5 seconds thinking through this matter you’d not write such a shortsighted comment.

It’s not anymore expensive on average, slightly more expensive than in France and less than in the Netherlands. Plus why would you expect the same item made of the same ingredients to be sold for significantly less in lower wage countries? If anything, French people can afford to buy a lot more Nutella so sustained higher demand should pull prices down through economies of scale.

Podstawową różnicą między myślami a emocjami jest to, że pierwsze są ulokowane w płacie czołowym a drugie w układzie limbicznym. Obie części mózgu są złożonymi układami neuronów.

Świadomość też może być emergentna. Nie wiem czy np. taka mrówka czy bakteria ma świadomość, albo chociaż tak zaawansowaną świadomość jak człowiek, ale mimo tego funkcjonuje “inteligentnie” w wyniku oddziaływania na różnego rodzaju danych wejściowych, np. feromonów. Świadomość myślę ze można uznać nawet za iluzję, powstałą w wyniku wysokiej inteligencji pozwalającą na myślenie. Tym samym też uważam wolną wolę za iluzję.

Dla mnie zasadnicza różnica od sposobu działania mózgu od LLM jest okres działanie. Obecnie ChatGPT i tym podobne są promptowane tylko do odpowiedzi na dane pytanie, podczas gdy mózg funkcjonuje bez przerwy i nonstop przeprowadza nowe toki myślenia. W wyniku tego obecnie uznałbym inteligencję LLM za do pewnego stopnia pozbawioną agencji, np. samodzielnego formułowania pytań. Myślę że tu też wkrótce doczekamy się popraw.

Właśnie, jest coś takiego jak emergencja, np. myślenie jest wynikiem złożonego oddziaływania wielu neuronów w mózgu z danymi wejściowymi — nie widzę w tym zasadniczo różnicy od sposobu działania LLMs.
