Why not just let the LLM write a test instead of a "verifier"?

So why will everyone not do that, make their own food and clothes? Why will we ever need to trade? The comment specifically mentions people who are not peasants so in that model, there are people who do not grow food but do other things. If

Why does the economist always looks at China like a villian. The war came too soon for China? To do what? Is the article insinuating that China is still evil but is not doing anything evil right now because US crumbled too quickly? What a r

This is a pretty simplistic take as well. Like you end it with saying be glad our civilization isn't built on sustenance farming but in the previous line you say it was built on force, taxes and rent extraxted? Here's a simple cou

Yes, we are unlikely to get to a point of an 1800s civil war, of course. But I mean, if things do get that bad, we cannot rule out a divided military as well. How that would work in practice, I'm not sure, since, as you mentioned, ar

Why are we assuming using the terminal is the only way of "telling a computer to do things"? Every way you interact with a machine, you are telling it to do things in theory. For example > At a fundamental level, I wasn’t able

How would a soviet style implosion of the US work in real life? A civil war is far more likely and we already have historical precedence for that. And your AI robot cybernetic splinter group thing sounds a lot like the biblical story of Noa

It proves it? How? This is more like an exception than the norm and Berkshire is not really something to generalize. Most investment funds of that size do chose to maintain proper websites. This is more like Berkshire branding, look at Warr

If by majority of the population, you mean no women, no slaves, then yes, sure. And even from an American or NE perspective, you're still overestimating its popularity. Literacy rates in the 1800s across different regions in Western Eu

Yeah, but the Pentagon is not Hugging Face, and that smaller company is getting rekt if they actually "hacked the Pentagon."

So it's kind of like AI hype growing up and rediscovering its roots because the future isn't futuring soon enough.

Yes, true, but in the 1800s, literacy rates were extremely low as well. Most people didn't read then either. By the time literacy improved, we already had competing media like radio, television, etc. But books still won because they we

I mean, it kind of does, though, no? Since it is backing the contract in the first place? Why else would anyone buy those contracts if they didn't know they have value provided by onionfutures.com in the first place? Why can't I j

I think with the desert thing, you are getting at what was once described as "aura" of original art work. Things like photography have already made us question things like synthetic art and how it relates to "real art" a

The subject is interesting and I am not doubting that. The story is interesting as well. But the headline is just weird, especially for an outlet like that. Why do we need to resort to goofy theatrics to attract people to science (interesti

Why is the headline written in a magical realism style in an article about the analysis of the apple tree? "Solved mystery of ancient tree"? "Rewrote the history of fruit"? Like okay, it's cool but it's not Gam

Yes just how Google was aligned with the interests of the Earth and the human race when it was supposed to "do no evil". If it follows it makers, ofc it wouldn't outright say it will destroy humanity lol.

I mean, it's the opposite of that; it's forced illiquidity when people lose access to their keys. There is no way to gain access to those coins and you cannot "force" liquidity on the bitcoin protocol.

Yes the point is that they wouldn't have to adjust unless they are merged into one. Precisely because one size can't fit all, yet they insit on one size now.

You are still personally legally liable if you break the law in a criminal matter. It is literally law 101 on when it is appororiate to lift the corporate viel. I'm very sure you are not a lawyer but you shouldn't go around callin

yeah the alternative test is to arm a toddler with an account and just have it randomly guess what to do. Even it might outperform the best fund managers over a given timeframe but that's just how the markets work. Over the long run, t

please do not use the "bloomberg for" thing as a marketing phase. You fundamentally misunderstand what the core value of the bloomberg terminal is. This is not it. Its a basic LLM tacked on to financial data. That doesn't mak
