Yeah, in the US, customers need permission from an optometrist. Edit: When buying for nearsightedness.

You raise a very worthwhile topic, because both fields have expanded, and they have expanded along very different paths. The medical field has splintered. Osteopaths kind of invented their own thing and broke into medical doctors' mono

I think it's a distinction without a difference. In this context, where this is no pending legal proceeding, a subpoena is just a request with no legal authority. The function of a real subpoena is to punish the recipient for failing t

Perhaps this is naive, but in my mind it can be useful for learning. - Hook LLM to VMs - Ask for code that [counts to 10] - Run code on VM - Ask different LLM to Evaluate Results. - Repeat for sufficient volume. - Train. The faster it can g

This relates very well to AGI. There can be long periods of minimal quantitative progress, even quantitative regression, before a massive qualitative leap that's the result of making a few small changes. Planes either fly or fall. The

Oregon's move is exactly backwards. If anything, they should cancel the law school requirement and allow the public to sit for the bar exam. Schools are notorious for graduating incompetent students who's only ability was to take

I appreciate that they used the least original means of criticism that was never-the-less sufficient to agitate the Fed into threatening legal actions. It's easy to agitate a federal agency if you do something novel or extreme. The fac

A guarantee is just another promise. So, you have a promise from the bank and a promise from the government.

Yes, fractional reserve banking should be reformed, and that's a reasonable preference. However, my point is that it's also reasonable for people to want to have physical possession of their assets.

Cash is money. Cash is immune to bank runs. If you have $10,000, then you have $10,000. If you deposit $10,000 in a bank, then you have $0 and a promise from a bank that has $1,000 and a promise (from somebody else) for $9,000.
