I could probably be using the word boilerplate wrong, but to me, it's anything that isn't logic. So anything with basic interfaces, interacting with databases, etc is boilerplate. It's not literally the same code every time,

Except that's why it isn't insurance at all, because people DO know. That's the idea of pre-existing conditions. People with pre-existing conditions don't need health insurance. They need healthcare. The whole healthcare

No. I don't know a lot of people that don't wear seatbelts, but they all smoke weed. All of my friends that died in car wrecks weren't wearing seat belts and would have definitely tested positive for THC. I don't know an

It's seat belts. People who die in wrecks are overwhelmingly not wearing seat belts. I would think marijuana users as a group probably have average seat belt usage, but people who don't wear seat belts probably have much higher

It's a hard sell because most self employed and middle income people actually had reasonable insurance and then the ACA completely screwed them. Sure single payer and universal coverage would be great but how could you trust Democrats

Similar but a little later and when I started it seemed like everyone smoked, but by the time I graduated it was basically no one.

Not likely at all, most likely the drugs wouldn't have even been illegal, but an addict would certainly have been housed and institutionalized. More than half of mental patients were alcoholics and addicts.

What would a bad trip that makes you homeless look like? Like you burnt your house down or something. The number of people that became homeless due to a bad trip may be non-zero but it had to be really close. That's just not a realisti

What countries have fewer tariffs than the US? Yes tariffs have the ability to support domestic production, be that via bringing manufacturing back or creating jobs. 100%, these are actual results and why almost every country has them. The

Believing that tariffs shift costs downstream means disregarding the idea of supply and demand. Companies are not altruistic actors they price goods at the maximum the market will bear. If they could just pass costs on to consumers then it

When it's as cheap as 5 cents per million tokens I don't see "trillions" as being a particularly large number. Even at the most expensive level($120/1M for 5 Pro) 100 trillion tokens is only like $12 billion dollar

Why would they need ads on API though, API is paid usage. They just need a few years of scaling for it to be profitable. Some models are already a net profit on API usage.

I mean we really don't need something to be conscious, would just need it to be accurate, the current models simply aren't built on a framework to be accurate. I think that it's possible, and already being done to effectively

In what way do you consider that to be the case? IBM's Watson defeated actual human champions in Jeopardy in 2011. Both Walmart and McDonald's notably made large investments shortly after that on custom developed AI based on Watso

Yeah, but the report citing that number doesn't make clear how they calculate that. But maybe that's just a failure of my comprehension though I know some people like to spin words. So is 700 million unique users each week? Or is

I don't think co-mingling is a thing anymore. It was a terrible idea anyway.

The agent reviews the code. The agent has access to tools. It writes the code, runs it through a test, reads the error, fixes the code, keeps going. It passes the code off to another agent with a prompt to review code and give it notes. The

Realistically if they were capable of being happy doing something other than acquiring more currency they would never become billionaires. Any reasonable person would simply live life enjoying their 10s or 100s of millions.
