Price as a market signal precedes neoliberalism by several decades to several millennia, depending on which economic historian you speak with. Is your argument that basic research which has no immediately attributable applications is bett

I apologize that my points in my prior comment were so easy to misunderstand. Your response here shows a dramatic superficiality in understanding each of these areas I brought up, when not missed entirely. My hope is you can move past your

Let's ignore FOSS contributions for a moment, which very much contradict your claim that private companies don't contribute research to the public. Outside software technology: there is a series of papers from Grossman (going back

Roughly: A senior can write, test, deploy, and possibly maintain a scalable microservice or similar sized project without significant hand-holding in a reasonable amount of time. A junior might be able to write a method used by a class but

I wonder if you observe this when you use it in a domain you know well versus a domain you know less well. I think LLM assistants help you become functional across a more broad context -- and completely agree that testing and reviewing beco

In economics discussions regarding public funding policy, the concern of "crowding out" commercial firms or nonprofits is a real concern. It's definitely an observed, measured, and reported phenomenon. In the end, incentives

I'm consistently seeing personal and shared anecdotes of a 40%-60% speedup on targeted senior work. As much as I like agents, I am not convinced the human using them can sit back and get lazy quite yet!

Depending on the specifics regarding "intersex", "trans", and other potential overlapping categorizations, estimates range from 1 in 5,500 births (sex chromosomes inconsistent) to as common as redheads (1 in just over 50

Great question! Once lab grown meat becomes economically viable, there will be few good places for ranches that make sense.

Oof. Bad place for a ranch. Natural ecology needs those apex predators. They should consider relocating if they are deep in the ranching world. If we've learned anything since the industrial revolution, we have learned that sustainabil

Nah. FDR and the reorganization or the government and the economy, JFK/LBJ and the great society. Lincoln. There have been good folks.
