Interesting, the UHC stuff would have led me to believe otherwise. What is the current Hegelian dialectic?

My issue with this idealistic and understandable perspective is that it completely ignores all historical precedent in the modern age. That is to say: if you think the government is going to use this as anything other than an opportunity to

FWIW, my understanding is that there just isn’t a real drop in replacement for the Google Index. Kagis focus on LLM seems targeted to me, and I wonder if they’re trying to figure out how to put it to work indexing for themselves, more than

For what it’s worth, I don’t think “reasoning” and “conveying that reasoning via writing” are quite as siloed as you suggest. Many people write long and complicated sentences in a first draft, but it is the subsequent drafts where that ini

Yes. Censoring is an action, the power dynamic at play is not relevant to whether something is or is not censoring. What you’re asking is “is this specific act of censorship somehow immoral or illegal?” And the answer is no, as I expect you

Mailmate may be just what you’re looking for. It’s fabulous for handling an enormous amount of accounts and emails at once imo, and the filtering tools for power users are second to none. So performant. And you can make it as pretty as you

By this measure, one would be compelled to start with the banks. Which is not to say I’m opposed in theory, just that I hope such sentiments are applied equally.

FWIW as a counterpoint, I’ve been giving them money for 2 years now and every cent has been worth it a hundred times over. A shame that effective search is now a luxury item, but it is what it is.

What you describe constitutes an ideal scenario, frankly. Similar to paying taxes for using roads for deliveries.

How are Rule 506(b) offerings relevant in a post government world? The point I’m trying to make here is that you’re assuming certain structures will outlive the governments that created the rules in the first place, which seems unlikely giv

The trouble being that replacing drafts people creating options for the Art Director with AI creating options instead is that it removes a central path by which artists gained skill and experience in their industries (and the same is true a

Impressive work! One thing that would make this exponentially more useful immediately: if it could export the cut list as an FCP or Adobe XML, for import into a real editing program. Being able to use this as a very basic rough draft automa
