Science!
I feel like the general spirit of that rule should be extrapolated to all areas of life
Adding another data point to this thread:
My childhood home recently sold for 10x the amount my parents bought it for in 1980 (in raw numbers, i.e. add a zero to the number on the price tag)
The exact same jobs as my parents had in 1980 for the same employers now pay 2x as much in raw numbers
Yeah, that's the problem I'm thinking might be mitigated by doing it yourself first and then comparing it to AI output.
If you do it with your own brain first, you're less likely to go "Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, sounds good" - you'll notice "I got something different - I should look into that"
If you own a shovel and have the ability to clear a path on your sidewalk, you'd be doing your neighbours a kindness - this slush is riskier than regular snow!
I looked out the window to see if people were penguin walking before I headed out and no one was, but that's because the buildings across the street cleared their sidewalks.
There are definitely portions that require penguin walking!
Unshovelled sidewalks are slushy and unpredictable, with above-average difficulty in visually assessing tractions.

One application I've seen mentioned is reading medical imaging.
I could see potential added value in having a human read my ultrasound, *then* see what an AI flagged and taking a closer look at those areas.
But just glancing at what the AI did and going "Yup, seems right" is too high risk.
Also, doing it this way would help develop a more nuanced sense of where and how the AI can be wrong.
When I was beta-testing it for work, so much stuff got past me because I didn't think it *could* go wrong that way! (e.g. changing numbers and units of measure)
Currently, the standard approach is "take the AI output and look it over for any problems." Which, of course, leads to problems slipping past you, because AI is inconveniently good at getting errors past the "seems right" intuition gained from long life experience
I think AI would do less harm (not zero, but less) if the standard approach was "Do the thing yourself, then see what the AI says, then look into any discrepancies."
I have also noticed significant price tag increases in some grocery items, but I'm in the extremely fortunate position to be able to just absorb them.
It's the ratio of housing to paycheque that has the most impact on quality of life.
Similarly, using the 1/3 rule that landlords tend to use, I couldn't afford my first apartment or a comparable one on the salary that my first job actually pays today.
(Bog standard starter apartment in a mid-20th-century building. Like, picture a starter apartment, you're picturing that one.)
The big thing is housing costs.
I was fortunate enough to be able to buy my condo pre-construction in 2012 and move in in 2016. Since 2017, condo prices have been so high that I would no longer be able to afford this exact condo on my actual salary (which increased by about 25% in raw numbers)
Lance is being so diligent about protecting his human from the leaf!
FYI to all who want to see where former Toronto pre-amalgamation(s) borders were. Fascinating to look street by streets - you can still see 'ghosts' of these here and there in the city.

That's why it's like that!
Thank you, I've been looking for information with that granularity for ages!

I can read it in that format! Thank you!
Has anyone on the internet yet transcribed the fine print/easter eggs next to the baby photos in the #StarfleetAcademy closing credits?
Do you happen to have a link to that map so I can zoom in and see the street names? I've been looking for one with that level of detail about the pre-amalgamation boundaries
I like Reno in teacher mode #StarfleetAcademy
The word "simply" collapsing under the overwhelming amount of labour you have it doing in that sentence

If I buy tomatoes, I never end up eating them in time.
If I don't buy tomatoes, I end up craving caprese salad at 2:30 a.m.
In the wikipedia image, is "pitsa's" meant to be "pizzas" or "pitas" or something else?
OMG there is so much beauty in this picture!
