> Plenty of woman can't break out of absuve relationships, familys protecting someone inside the family even if they are rapists due to "family is family; what would others think of us" etc. and thats were you draw the line for that Human being?

I think you're being fair overall, but I would also say that OP in this thread reply is highlighting something worthwhile. If Terry were a misogynist, I don't think this thread would have taken as long to recall his abnormal behavior. But that's just, like, my opinion.


What was the business problem, broadly? How did you apply linear algebra to it?


Interesting hypotheses but I dont see / missed any preprint or publication of their tools (they show a paper published by a key scientist before he joined their company).

This sounds good but the hard thing for these sweeping experiments is making a discrete, new finding or saying something interesting about an old problem. I’ll be curious to see how they approach that goal at the level of a statement that can withstand peer review


Very fair! We're working on a preprint right now

> your belongings as well so a diary you wrote couldn't be used against you

What's the history around this? And don't these protections only relate to criminal proceedings?

edit: seems the parent is referring to the historical entity of the mere evidence rule which isn't the same as saying that the Framers believed a certain interpretation for the 4/5th amendments.


The right against self-incrimination is limited in civil trials. Additionally, unlike criminal trials where a jury will be instructed that a defendant's refusal to answer cannot be construed as evidence, there is no such instruction in civil trials, and it is common to argue that a refusal to answer indicates hiding something.

(OpenAI and Anthropic reached a similar agreement with the US in 2024, per the article)

Ctrl-[ is accepted across Vim installs

When using Ctrl where caps lock ususally is, this can be a very comfortable "pinkies out" manuver.

> How long do they last? Looks like pretty solid piece of equipment, but are they damaged easily or simply clap out after few years?

They last forever. Why would they break? This is like asking how long floor speakers last.


Speakers sometimes die while sitting unused in their original shipping carton in a dry, climate-controlled room.

The adhesives can age. Foam surrounds can disintegrate. (Ask a Bose 901 owner about foam rot.)

They also can also die from use, and abuse. And finger-poking. And environmental conditions like moisture and UV light.

I know enough enough about old speakers to know that lasting forever isn't one of their usual traits.

Are stethoscopes really as bad as that?


My first stephoscope lasted about 10 years until the tubing became brittle and started cracking. It's the oil on your skin that does it apparently. It went through a couple diaphragms and I lost an ear piece but used a replacement one.

As other commenters pointed out, rubber/plastics fail.

Littmann sells repair kits.


Fair enough. My medical classmates regularly used stethoscopes that were purchased by their parents for the parents' own studies but I understand there may be differences in build quality.

Stereotypical image of the doctor is that they carry them over their neck 24/7, so that alone would destroy them pretty quickly.

Why do you assume this? Have you ever used one?


Even the title is likely AI-generated, as are all the subject headings. I worry we're all getting inured to these writing patterns.


> Content creators are starting to include these traits into their scripts now, too.

Why would you assume this when the more likely reasonable is that the 'content creators' are just pasting LLM output?


I feel like the problem is that it's both. We're sanding off the long tail of human expression. It's not profitable this quarter, you see. Faster to let the AI do it.


I'm sure that's exactly what people are doing, but it's more difficult to tell from a recited script until someone drops a "It's not x, but Y".
