They are saying since 1880 because that's when they started keeping an official record


> the "banana equivalent dose" [is] "very useful in attempting to explain infinitesimal doses (and corresponding infinitesimal risks) to members of the public"


It's not though, unless you have a strong a priori belief that eating a banana is safe with respect to radiation.


Who doesn't have a strong a priori belief that bananas are safe to eat?


You clearly fell for BigBanana's propaganda.

More seriously -- challenging "US standard" dietary norms often leads to fruitful discussions of nutrition and how off-optimal most "common sense" tends to be.


It seems banana for scale didn't come around for another 10 years


It is more local than talking to chat GPT directly. Open AI stores all your requests on their server. This saves it on your computer. The title also claims it's a UI which always, for now, runs locally.


Does a middle class person have more choices in how they want to live their life?


I didn't say being poor was better, this was in response to who uses more government services. And I'm not event stating it as a problem, I think poor people use more services because they need more services. But I thought it was important enough to correct the claim that they don't use more services.

Maybe we should have a public banking option if the government's going to give everyone their money anyway


Yeah I think the capitalist version of that is more regulation to the point where large banks aren’t able to take on so much risk to depositors.


You can call a 1.5" by 3.5" plank a 2x4


Tesla calls it FSD, not "Nominal FSD".

To nitpick your metaphor further: A 2x4 plank starts off as 2" by 4", and it is shaved down to 1.5 x 3.5 side to straighten it out. A Tesla "FSD" car has never been in its life fully self driving.


I don’t think Tesla can round up from 0 and say you can make money with a self driving Taxi service.


No one owns random strings. They can claim whatever they want to be "their" tokens


Tencent isn't claiming ownership of these strings, it's claiming that strings with a particular format have special meaning wrt. Tencent's APIs. It has told Github about that format.

This is fundamentally similar to how UPS, DHL etc. document how to recognise their tracking numbers.

"Their" and genitive in general doesn't necessarily mean ownership. It's often used for various sorts of connection. For example, "my address" doesn't claim ownership of either the street or the house, "my age", "my wife", all connected to me somehow but not owned by me.


Not your random string not your coins. Not your random string not your monkey picture.
