It seems like you're missing the distinction being drawn between high blood sugar (but adequate levels of insulin to prevent ketosis) and very very lowlevels of insulin. The former is bad over longer time scales; the latter can become

Claude is smarter than this model. So spilling over to a less preferred model when you run out of quota is a thing.

Note "converging to zero" doesn't really mean zero because economics includes opportunity costs. It just means that outsized gains don't exist over the longer term without some kind of market power. In the long run,

The problem is, 2750 + 750 injured is less than 4000, and it doesn't make sense that none of the injured were targets but >30/42 of those killed were. We're talking about a tiny amount of explosives in each pager. Sure, it

I haven't seen a report of 4000 civilians injured. I have seen a report of 4000 people injured across the two attacks, but presumably some fraction of these are targets. 42 killed, of whom Hezbollah said 12 were civilians (later admit

It's true -- you'll have a worse time on average and a higher chance of severe side effects. If you had an overwhelming chance of getting chicken pox, getting it in early school age reasonably seemed to be the best option.

This is only true as long as there's enough of a market left. You tend to end up with oversupply and excessive inventory during the transition, and that pushes profit margins negative and removes all the supply pretty quickly.

Yes-- I think most of us are familiar with regulatory capture. But the solution to regulatory capture isn't "no regulation."

Well, compliance itself is costly, but the cost is stuff that society decided it wanted to spend money on. But uncertainty in compliance and time spent navigating compliance is nearly pure waste.

They -are- decent modular chunks. They have a bit of opinion pushing you in certain directions as far as sound goes. Each one does a pretty limited set of things and combining them can be annoying. But you get a lot for the money you spend

That's true, but the number of paperclips you'll produce if you only devote effort to things that directly produce paperclips is also very low. It can be really difficult to strike that productive balance.
