They need to be in a separate risk pool. It isn’t a penalty.

There seems to be an explosion of drugs for fat loss. No signs of slowing down.

It’s super dope, and you can have it talk to people for you in the local language when you go there. I’ve busted it out to explain what I’m thinking for me. Watching travel shows on TV or reading travel magazines is sadder.

Curious what type of metal object and if you tried factories in different regions. Jewelry is pretty smooth… This 500W superlamp thing is effectively an appliance and seems quite brave for this guy to work through.

There is death by old age. You’re just not supposed to write it on the statement because the age is there already.

That’s a bit cynical. Religion is more like a technology. It was continuously invented to solve problems and increase capacity. Newer religions superseded older and survived based on productive and coercive supremacy.

Eh 1953 was more about what’s going to happen to the people left behind, e.g. Childhood’s End . The vast majority of people will be better off having the market-winning AI tell them what to do.

I mean an F50 went for $9M at Sotheby’s last year. That’s probably enough info to rule out salaried work.

There’s a whole vibrant industry of people you can pay to market whatever you want on Reddit. They can’t all be competing for the same few popular subreddits. They must be differentiated by targeting niche subreddits.

Why not vote for some law limiting the government’s buying of this data? After all, I expect a say in how the government is run, so that seems like the appropriate path. I don’t see why I should expect a say in how AT&T is run. AT&T

Bike helmets are for safety but reading the article the ban is more for some kind of societal change. I don’t know if it’s really comparable.

I mean as of 2011 over half the native women are obese [1]. I don’t know what to make of it other than that’s a lot. Dr. Anne Becker may be really into preserving traditional Fijian culture or whatever but it sounds like some of the local g

I don’t know if this counts as activism, but I was at my university’s Faculty Club and a faculty member walked over and immediately started bitching about Donald Trump without introducing themselves. Like, you’re supposed to be in the busin

Sounds like when people are politicking he just takes a “whatever” approach haha. That seems reasonable.

Literally everyone raising money is just searching for the magic combo of stuff to make it happen. Nobody enjoys raising money. Wouldn’t read that much into this.

Ok, I am a Constitutional Scholar and there is no way that not getting to jump the line at the airport is a “material adverse action” because you can simply get in line. In general, there need to be damages when you talk about liability.

Reddit’s been fake for a while dude. They’re just taking top posts/comment chains and asking LLMs to generate similar content.

This is great and has lots of practical stuff. Some of the takeaways feel over-reliant on implementation details that don’t capture intent. E.g. something like “the LLM is just trying to predict the next word” sort of has the explanatory po

Would be tough to pull that off in Switzerland, having lived there for a stint. Can’t imagine the tax guys would be that happy.

I was curious but it’s surprisingly hard to find info. These guys [1] are pretty stoked about “nowcasting”—which seems to be on sub-10-minute timescales to issue local severe weather warnings and such. It appears current sounders don’t scan

Wonder about suitability for habitat construction, especially extraterrestrially. Apparently some plants have been grown in regolith samples. Would be wild if there’s a way to close the cycle on building materials very quickly.

So why the car company? Also I was told there is no voter fraud. Is that just because nobody’s looking?

By the article it sounds like Ross Stevens wanted his money to go towards excellence. Perhaps he didn’t find that at today’s Penn. Taking him at his word, he seems to have found that with the US Olympians.

They’ll self-sort pretty quickly. The ChatGPT people will talk to the ChatGPT people and be happy about it. I think it’ll work out.

If you read the article, the author frames the discussion around a retroactive tax in California applying to those resident in California as of January 1, 2026 so that it cannot be dodged by moving. Also, the words “US”, “US-ian”, “American

Looks great. Hope the team polishes it up before release. The visual nits in shipping Google products make my eyes bleed.
