I constantly hear about this, but I've never experience bowel issues from antibiotics, nor has anyone in my family, adults or children, from a wide array of them. I know gut biomes must be different but they must be orders of magnitude

If the US government outlawed crypto to save the USD, they'd have to also outlaw gold, because that's where all the money would flow to instead. The rest of the world wouldn't outlaw gold and crypto, so the effort to kill alt

>For some reason, people are more comfortable with inflation as a tax than taxes. Because everything doesn't inflate at the same rate at the same time. That means the average person has some theoretical room to reconfigure their spe

If mRNA is better, then why didn't the Chinese ever use it or produce a version of it? Maybe you could argue they were slow to get on the mRNA train at first, but years into the pandemic there is no plausible reason for them to not use

>Yet you internalized a belief that we have to do it [keep laboring] when so much of the labor it would produce more of is already abundant. Why? If there is so much abundance and labor isn't needed, why is almost every country on E

It states that if an LLM is good at the LSAT, it must have trained on many practice LSAT tests. How do we know this? The test measures things like reading comprehension and logical reasoning. LLMs have reasoning ability with novel material,

It's possible to have certain things be abundant and other things be scarce simultaneously, because technology doesn't make everything abundant at the same time. That means certain types of labor are abundant and others scarce at

But what are the workloads costing MSFT? If the credits are part of the acquisition deal, maybe they're considered capex not opex, and MSFT gets to amortize the credits' operating cost over decades. What is the true marginal cost

Try to clearly define what is gambling and what isn't so people can reliably avoid gambling. You won't be able to do it because the financialized economy is a big unavoidable casino. You can define extreme cases of clear gambling

People keep repeating that LLMs are predicting the next words but at least with the more recent versions, this isn't true. Eg, LLMs are generating their own intermediate or emergent goals, they're reasoning in a way that is more c

Do we have the capability for advanced socialism? Because I recall all the smartest economists circa 2021 saying inflation wasn't a thing, it's transient, it's only covid affected supply chains. In reality we are in an broad

It's a distinction without a difference. In the past maybe they didn't know there was toxic cadmium in the cacao, but it's obvious now. Yet they continue to make and sell cadmium cacao that is going to kill people for sure. N

Who is relying on the cashflow from these loans that haven't been paid in 3 years? With every other loan or bond, someone's business model or ability to stay solvent relies on interest payments coming in. Apparently student loans

Maybe they didn't "chose" to not hire one. Maybe every competent risk manager they wanted to hire wanted nothing to do with SVB because a competent risk manager would have been able to foresee what happened.
