Do you want novel genes propagating throughout the food system by accident? Terminator genes prevent that problem.

I dunno, probably had religious significance.

Literally who? The young MAGA folks in congress like Josh Hawley certainly don’t. I guess Rand Paul is a free market guy, but he’s pretty much the only one. Even Susan Colins is signing onto tariffs and other nonsense.

by ch4s3 4mo ago
Not really. They’re all lousy pro tariffs, anti immigration, pro tech regulations, and so on. Paul Ryan is gone.

They haven’t claimed to be the free market party since Obama was in office. Trump very much ran an anti free market campaign the first time.

Time for someone to spin up Endo, but this time no cute ideas for real.

Like it or not, Bartz v. Anthropic established that as fair use. So it isn't legally copyright infringement as currently understood under the law. This may change but it isn't obviously wrong.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that argument re derivative work, but weights aren't really what's being shipped or sold, and I think it's reasonable to argue that the generated tokens aren't derivative but substantively tr

> unimaginable levels of copyright infringement This isn't how copyright works. The models don't wholesale encode literal information from original works and are substantive transformations. Now, you yourself as a user can use

I agree and I'd love for local models to hat the sonnet 4.6 level but nothing seems really all that close, and I'm not particularly excited about giving money to deepseek.

no argument there.

Repackaging of existing concepts is kind of just what a lot of new tech products are, right?

You authenticate and authorize them the same way you do any other frontend requests. The socket gets an authenticated user and you handle messages in that scope. It’s not hard at all. Since messages have a shape that has to structurally mat

It’s exceptional. We’ve improved throughput on new features by about 2x and sentry errors are down. Our codebase is 2-300k loc and pretty old in some places, I’ve been really impressed with just sonnet.

It can be a one way ratchet, which is my argument here. Regulations, medicare rates, and pricing power from drug companies set a floor for prices. Insurance companies already run pretty lean and have so-so margins. The 80-20 rule incentiviz

I think the criticism here is that they're pumping that water in from the Colorado river based on a pricing schema that makes it artificially cheap t grow water intensive crops in a very arid region. If the pricing were modernized and

The medicaid work requirement is pretty dumb, granted, but the COVID era increased demand side subsidy was a terrible policy that every healthcare economist said would cause prices to rise. The government should focus on increasing supply i

by ch4s3 4mo ago
Not really. They're highly regulated in their offerings, and the government mandates how much they spend on care vs. overhead. They can't effectively compete so the only option is to negotiate slightly higher payments to providers

by ch4s3 4mo ago
After the ACA passed it's really hard for insurers to differentiate on policies because so much is mandated. They're essentially all identical products that are going to have similar prices.

> but they're really a lot better than dying because you don't have your credit card This isn't a correct characterization of US healthcare either. No one is denied lifesaving care due to inability to pay by law. In fact 9

I didn't write the article. But it would be similar to me saying that everyone I know in the US has access to pretty good healthcare.

The article outline that 1 in 10 people in the UK have done DIY emergency dental care, wich suggests strongly that the availability is less good than advertised. In fact a large portion of the article is about growing NHS wait times.
173.
by ch4s3 4mo ago
I wouldn't be so sure about that. The article outlines how hard it is to get dental care in the UK, which just isn't going to be as difficult in Mississippi. Mississippi's Medicaid covers emergency dental care so it's av

It's odd to me that there's only a passing mention in one paragraph about energy costs effecting places like Stoke-on-Trent, and dwelling on austerity as though government cuts caused industry to leave. England has the highest ele

Ahh yes, Russian fertility was famously… lackluster in the Soviet period. So clearly capitalism caused fertility to decline.

The core design decision that supports everything is having a sort of multi-tool that does a lot for the language called forge. It builds, tests, runs, initializes, formats, manages dpes, and so on. It also has a search tool that apparently

Yeah I wrote my own language and obviously it’s not in any training data which end tip being an interesting experiment with agents. I’ve found that a few concise skills and an agents.md make a huge difference in guiding the LLMs. Specifical

My aim isn't cynicism so much as an interest in clear an evidence based information about these systems which are clearly important technological developments for the future. It may turn out that there is something analogous to cogniti

I'm saying that the burden of proof is on Chris Olah.

This is an incredibly strong claim and I’ve never seen any particularly strong evidence for them beyond “trust me, I’ve seen into the abyss.”
