I said it above and I’m going to repeat it here: what’s the point of adjustment? I might have completely different cost structure than you. The lifestyle was so different for people I worked with in Berlin.

Cost of living doesn’t have to be taken into account in a salary analysis because everyone has a different cost of living. It’s not called a “quality of life” analysis.

I went to Twitter and read what ML scientists say. They don’t think it’s anything like a layperson imagines it to be(I’m also a layman when it comes to LLMs). But it’s an impressive technology IMO. I just think we don’t know all the limitat

I think it’s a wrong question to ask. It’s an impressive piece of technology for which people are trying to find use cases. But the right questions are: 1. What are the tasks where LLMs out-perform humans, or, at least deliver similar perfo

Several things come to mind. First, you don’t need to remove viral DNA from cells. Just make them over-express HIV and trigger cytotoxic lymphocytes or antibody-mediated killing. You end up wiping all the infected cells. But then, of course

You don’t need to control an individual. You need to control the population as a whole. Which governments do now, with taxes and other policies.
