An “ interview ” with ChatGPT where it explains ChatGPT
I asked ChatGPT, the language model I’ve been talking about a lot recently to explain itself in simple terms.
I want you to tell me about ChatGPT but you must assume I have no specialist understanding of any jargon terms like “AI”, “language model”, “algorithm”, so your response must explain those terms if they are used in your explanation.
ChatGPT is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that is specifically trained to understand and generate human language. It uses a type of machine learning called deep learning, which involves training a computer to learn patterns in la...

Journalistic malpractice
Here ' s a chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, just released today:As you will recall, the corporate media, and a lot of politicians, were all screaming and yelling about inflation right up until the November election. Roaring inflation was ruining American families, forcing the Federal Reserve into draconian interest rate hikes, and dooming the Democrats ' prospects.Do you see what I see? The inflation spike ended, abruptly and completely, in July. So how did CNN, the New York Times, and the rest of the gang maintain the fiction that inflation was still out of control? They stopped reporting on monthly increa...

Biden ’s New Legal Migration Border Plan Could Work If He Wants It To
ConclusionPresident Biden has announced one of the largest expansions in legal migration in decades, and if he succeeds in drastically reducing illegal crossings with these new procedures, it will likely lead to expansion to other nationalities. This is the first serious intentional effort to use legal migration to secure the border since the 1950s Bracero Program. Whether it succeeds depends more on how it is administered than the policy on paper, but the administration already knows the blueprint, so failure will have to include an element of intent.

USCIS Adjudicators Have Grown Less Efficient For 82% of Forms
David J. BierImmigrants and U.S. sponsorsare waiting longer than ever to receive responses to their applications to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the agency has released a new proposed rule today that would dramatically increase fees for most applications to help process them quicker.But data in that rule reveal one important reason why processing times are increasing, and it has nothing to do with money: for 82 percent of form types, USCIS adjudicators are simply spending more time reviewing the form than in the past, leading to a backup of applications sitting at the agency without anyone to ...

Fed Chair Powell ’s Story about Service Price Inflation Is Untrue
Alan ReynoldsInThe Wall Street Journal’s “Year ‐End Review& Outlook,” Sam Goldfarb deftly summarized a recent shift in the Federal Reserve’s focus away from PCE inflation —which slowed to a 2.4% rate from July to November— to a diverse hodgepodge of services prices.“In recent remarks,Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has emphasized that, even in recent months, there has been only a modest slowdown in price increases for core services outside of housing. That is an area of the economy seen as most sensitive to labor costs, which have shown few signs of decelerating.”Although Mr. Powell ’s latest s...

Solving Healthcare ’s Labor Problem May Mean a Change in Strategy
Discussions about the uncertain future of the industry’s labor force intensified in 2021, as hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers left the field. Analysts and experts once predicted that the full effects of this shortage would be felt by 2030, but it appears that day may now come even sooner. More recent estimates have the U.S. reaching a gap of up to 450,000 nurses alone by 2025 — and that remains true despite the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projection that healthcare will add over 2.5 million jobs in the coming decade, outpacing all other sectors.
To navigate the ongoing healthcare labor shortage, many ...

Association of LDL-Cholesterol with Mortality

Researchers here report on a study of LDL-cholesterol and mortality risk in older people. As they note, data on this topic is conflicted once one moves beyond the matter of cardiovascular disease.
