Can you elaborate on this? I’m not an expert at all but this seems so far from true I’m struggling to understand if you’re serious. Wouldn’t we expect tens of millions of casualtie…

You think Amazon shouldn’t get in trouble for this because someone else did it first?

The downside is that it causes people to buy phones they can’t afford because it seems cheaper. People don’t reason about $50 per month the same way they do about $1200. The mistak…

It looks awful on mobile too. Barely readable in many parts.

Sure, but none of this would be profitable in the context of a private enterprise.

The Apollo program wasn’t for profit and if it was it never would have yielded a return on investment.

I would hate to work on that codebase. We learn to parse code more quickly over years of looking at code written with the same conventions and style. There’s a reason why Google ar…

I don’t think it’s morally consistent to “warn” about the consequences while devoting your life to bringing about those consequences as quickly as possible. If I was in that positi…

It’s the same thing as always: with the wind of years of unlimited VC money in their sails, people at major AI organizations genuinely believe they’re smarter than everyone else. “…

One of the parent comments specifically mentioned “space engines”, not MMOs.

The improved token efficiency would only account for the output and reasoning tokens occupying context, right? What about the user messages and other context like file contents? I’…

My bad, apparently it's prescription-only for children in particular.

It's worth keeping in mind that melatonin is also prescription-only in many countries e.g. UK, Canada, Japan, Australia.

The problem with that take is that the evidence for melatonin is quite poor outside of jet-lag and certain more serious sleep disorders, and there can be unexpected effects elsewhe…

Note the “but free from unnecessary inductive biases” part of my comment. By that I meant a decision to make each expert good at a human-defined thing.

Good point! I thought you meant splitting them and then doing inference with some kind of learned router while keeping all the split models loaded at once. What you're suggesting i…

Bitter lesson is knocking. Mixture of experts is essentially what you’re describing but free from unnecessary inductive biases.

Interesting. I guess I don’t see corporations as people, and thus I don’t see this as a violation of free speech.

Conversely it isn't very cool seeing the person who grew up as a McLaren fan dying prematurely due to being influenced to start a deadly habit from a young age. And I say this as s…

What is the cost-benefit analysis that led you to that conclusion? I ask as someone who enjoys smoking but struggles to see any good argument for the return of tobacco advertising.…

We can decide to pass laws to protect people from addictive behaviors. Do you support bringing cigarette advertising back for example?

Just use cursor based pagination. How is this any different whether it’s infinite scroll or separate pages?

Are you confusing 20th century with 2000s?

Aren’t we just donating the PFAS to potentially sicker patients?
