If someone is paid 500k-1.5M, do they suddenly lose interest in further enriching themselves? I don't understand this argument.

Maternal mortality rate was 100x higher in the past. Not sure I would call that "doing just fine."

Doesn't change that this patent is very silly, though.

On the page you have linked, there is a section titled "Skeptical explanations," which contains explanations of the event that are both plausible and satisfying. If you stare at the sun for a while you're going to see some weird stuff. Don't try it at home.

I would hope that fathers would also say that being a father is their most important role!

I have been a software engineer for a decade. I derive a good deal of personal satisfaction from my work, and from being able to provide financially for my family. There are some things that only my body might be capable of, compared to my husband's, but otherwise I would hope that we are able to equitably divide responsibilities and impart the varying positive aspects of our worldviews and personalities onto our children.

Bio clock is a mild concern, but people can struggle with infertility at any age. I would not want to tie my entire personality up with motherhood/homemaking and then find out that it wasn't in the cards.

I think society would be better off if all people were raised to focus on creating stable, responsible families and being resilient to adversity, regardless of gender. Roles within the relationship should be negotiated based on individual strengths.

I say that as a woman without children in a very equal marriage, working in software, who worries regularly about the impact of having children. I dread being expected to take on a less "worldly" and more "homemaker" role.

> someone who can create a stable, responsible, potentially loving environment for a family, someone who can endure a lot of strain and responsibility while still holding it together

How is this different from a woman's role?

Huh... I know about deidentifying, but what does it mean to de-deidentify?

I saw (probably) the same video and thought he was saying the company's lifetime fuel costs were $1M.

It's in the name of the model - "Vicuna-13B" implies there are 13 billion parameters.

Materialistic became buggy for me in terms of UI elements arbitrarily switching to different themes (pixel 5a). I switched to Harmonic and have been very happy with it.

Completely agree. More or Less and Business Daily (both BBC) have replaced Planet Money for me in the last few years.
