If you'd read the wikipedia article, you'd know that actual research shows that Betteridge's law is not true. The majority of articles with a yes/no question in the heading, answer the question with yes in the body.
Only accepting bugs with a fix is not a solution. Because who is going to vet the patches? Are you going to accept a Chinese patch for some obscure security issue? This is how real security problems are introduced.
Why not? The three letters are not going to send their backdoored patches under a pseudonym people like you would find suspicious. They would send it (and very likely are doing that already) under the name of "James Smith".
You really should check out much much code in e.g. the Linux kernel is written outside of "the West". It's not the 90s anymore.
My split was more 40% GPT-5, 60% GPT-4o. I think GPT-4o was better at communicating over interpersonal issues, but it ultimately depends on your perspective.
Yes, that accruing is linear. I mean there are exponential examples in the religious system, such as more karma required for different things, the lifespans of deities in various realms and the length of the kalpas/ timespans of the ages.
And compared to saying it aloud by yourself it's orders of magnitude more. And when they cram the text into like neat folds with dense text, thats a few more. I just googled, yeah I still google because perplexity on comet is not my thing, 100 trillion prayers on a microfilm is an example I saw.
Maybe "exponential" means "big" to non-math people. Years ago in a writing class I took, English majors kept using "hyperbolic" to mean "exaggerated". That was hard to parse for this physicist.
Actually gym classes are a dumb leftover from the turn of the century (no not that turn, the 1900 turn). It serves no purpose anymore. Modern students get no meaningful skills, no lasting health benefits. It's mandatory exertion for a grade.
Learning to drive a car at school would do a whole lot more good!
What's wrong with making sure every kid gets to move a bit (exert, as you put it)? It doesn't matter for kids that are already fit, but I think that it's great for health of the bottom 30% who doesn't exercise and doesn't have a proper diet (both are their parents fault, to be clear).
Patient reviews. So you can tell a patient they can lose weight, but if you do they might leave you a bad review. If you get enough of them, your practice might not keep you. Try few doctors own their own practice these days, so they have to care about patient satisfaction surveys.
Granted with such a device you still have to do something with the data for it to make you better, but I think this makes a lot more sense. Many people are diabetes 2, or close to it, and they have no idea. A continuous glucose measuring device could very quickly be a real eye-opener, in a way a fitness tracker does not. --> I don't need no Fitbit to tell me, I skipped my 5k again, but I do need a sensor to tell me that my blood glucose is too high.
A glucose monitor is not the best way to tell if you have type 2 diabetes. It varies throughout the day, by a lot.
You judge diabetes by your A1c, which is a cumulative effect over months. That's part of a standard bloodwork panel, which you should have every year -- which is plenty of notice.
That isn't necessarily the wearable RFKJ means. The article also goes on to point out that nobody has measured health benefits from wearables, and that the surgeon general nominatee has a company that makes wearables, a giant conflict of interest. None of this is surprising, in that RFKJ testified under oath in his confirmation hearings that he would keep the vaccine advisory committee in place, but then fired them summarily. He's a known liar.
