Iceland isn’t in the EU?

Thanks a lot, this is what I’ve been wondering. I know that there’s a link and that cannabis can trigger e.g. psychoses especially if there’s a genetic predisposition, but this is extremely tricky data to work with and to draw inferences from.

They do mention the bidirectional nature and I think that’s where it becomes really hard to model. If you would properly try to isolate the cannabis effect you’d need to identify a cohort of individuals similar to those that got diagnosed and that have (self-reportedly) not consumed cannabis as a control group and then compare these two groups to their overarching population and then determine if the mean difference (if there’s any) is statistically significant.

Here you could argue that this is what they’ve already been doing and I may have a flaw in my thinking, but I think there’s just some control variable missing.

Of course if we knew how to describe such population this would be an easy exercise, but since all we know is that the population is teenagers living in the same area, along with some other demographic metadata this is a limitation that I‘m not sure can be overcome so I don’t blame the authors of the study.

I think that the connection is there in some way or another is an interesting finding and probably a good reason to try and stop teenagers from smoking weed. Personally it also helps me against depression but also I‘m not 14 anymore.

It’s not. They disclose the conflict of interest and source of funding part but that doesn’t tell me who the funding sources are and what’s their agenda? I only have this question because I read the article information.

Also this doesn’t tell me anything about journal ranking, I don’t even know if this is a proper journal, let alone if it’s peer reviewed. If you drop a link to the Lancet it’s cool I know it, I’m still not going to abandon my critical thinking but I will give the benefit of the doubt.

It’s not so much that I necessarily think their findings are implausible or anything, it’s just that I want to discuss science in a scientific way in a science community, and those are normal things to ask.

Ah yeah thank you! Im used to stuff like SSRN where you can’t miss the link

Idk what to say, that’s wild

Thank you.

Maybe someone can tell if this is peer reviewed and if this is actually published in a reremovedble journal and also what’s the agenda of the institutes funding this.

Lot to ask I guess but I have 0 clue about this field and don’t really know how seriously I should take this

But where is the study? Maybe this is my bad but I couldn’t actually find the paper that explains the methodology, nor could I find in which journal this is published and if this got peer reviewed?

This was a fascinating read even though I couldn’t follow a lot of stuff tbh

I did actually work on some crypto prototypes using AI and LLMs do hallucinate wallets. I was curious once because there was some wallet connected to my project so I sent like a fraction of a cent to it to see what would it happen and it got immediately drained so I checked out the wallet and I think someone’s private keys ended up in the training data. Was pretty funny to observe but it’s scary to think that people might actually lose money like that.

Sick, imagine it gets actual crypto, will it be a real wallet? Imagine they’d have money what would they use it for? Ideally, they’d start a company and actually outsource work to humans, making them essentially the bitch of a clanker and the clanker‘s constant u-turns. "You’re right, the client doesn’t need encryption for their auth endpoints. This isn’t just about security — this is about responsible user choice and not overengineering things. Good call out!“

Sounds like the same old Germany move as relying on Russian oil & gas

Now that people are running openclaw I think it’s only a matter of time

I mean I’m equally worried about China and their genocide against e.g. the Uyghurs as I am about the western genocide against e.g. Palestinians or the Russian genocide against e.g. Ukrainians. The problem is with the concept of empire, not any implementation of that concept specifically.

Eh I don’t disagree with you, it’s just the reality for me that I am now expected to work on much more stuff at the same time because of AI, it’s exhausting but at least in my job I have no choice and I try to arrange myself with the situation.

I sure lost a lot of understanding of the details of the codebase but I do read every line of code these LLMs spit out and manually review all PRs for obvious bullshit. I also think code quality got worse despite me doing everything I can to keep it decent.

With proper prompting you can let it do a lot of annoying stuff like refactors reasonably well. With a very strict linter you can avoid the most stupid mistakes and shortcuts. If I work on a more complex PR it can take me a couple days to plan it correctly and the actual implementation of the correct plan will take no time at all.

I think for small bug fixes on a maintainable codebase it works, and it works for writing plans and then implementing them. But I honestly don’t know if it’s any faster than just writing the code myself, it‘s just different.

I think it doesn’t help that with AI coding tools you can now work on 5 different codebases at the same time and you’re able to get shit done so much faster. The maintainability is 0 but the code does the job, until requirements slightly change lol. But for business oriented folks that’s good enough so they just keep operating like that at the expense of burnt out engineers.

Guess it depends if you can blend in. I definitely agree that most people are just trying to get by but also if you can’t blend in it can get dangerous. Also people fuck each other over so much. In TV there’s always this romantic idea that people are poor but stick together, ime people are not like that unfortunately. Source: I grew up in a very shitty neighborhood.

It’s kind of an interesting situation because it seems like he’s not in the Epstein files, and while I don’t believe he’s anything but a typical corrupt, opportunistic politician his opportunism is at least left-leaning and not pro-Zionism big tech.

Sadly this is a rare thing in today’s world, but also a reason why the surveillance tech apparatus hates him so I understand the urge to regulate them, but as usual this is at the expense of our freedom and just self-serving.

What do you need?

You have discovered .ml? Yeah the lead devs are tankies lol
