You just answered my question: Is it the case that UnitedHealth and Cigna each own (or control) one of the "big three" PBMs? If so, that is a just crazy - the control insurance premium pricing, benefit decisions, AND the pricing o

Very interesting comments and moderation discussion on this article.

I think you both make valid points, but I also get the sense that the article is articulating insights gained from pure math explorations into the theoretical limitations of learning, which in the article can sound "turboencabulator-sp

Oops, thanks. I changed it.

Basically, as LLMs scale up, the author (Soatto, VP at AWS) suggests they're beginning to resemble Solomonoff inference: hypothetically optimal but computationally infinite approach that executes all possible programs to match observed

Yes, I should have made that clear in my first comment. Thanks for doing so. I used the quote in my title because I found it a fascinating way to start a technical blog post, and it made me want to read the article to understand what the au

I found the opening quote of this article to be intriguing, especially since it was from a 1992 research lab: “One year of research in neural networks is sufficient to believe in God.” The writing on the wall of John Hopfield’s lab at Calte

So the control was the previous GILEAD drug (presumably a weekly injection?) for the same condition (HIV+)?

Ditto. The larger question is how does the linear sequence of DNA (primary sequence) ultimately drive the spatio-temporal development program that leads to mature differentiated cells working together at the organoid / organ / org

one of my favorite books since high school. I remember mentioning it to my HS English teacher before class one day (20 years ago) and she amazed and surprised me by replying "oh that's one of my favorites!" It seemed like an

Dear god, how is that an advantage? Are we all here just rooting for techno-dictator supremacy?

This comment is tone-deaf to the unique (and effective? TBD) arrangement of the board OpenAI 501(c)3 without compensation and the company they regulate. Your comment strikes me as not appreciating the unusually civic-minded arrangement, at

In principle, these costs could be 1000x less. Much like minicomputer -> dell price shift.

VSI thermodynamics is my favorite so far, it covers statistical mechanics of gasses, Boltzmann distribution defn of temperature… if you don’t know what these concepts are, I am confident you can get a good intro from the VSI thermodynamics

In my experience it’s easier to measure and thus control the temperature of a thermal mass that is much much larger than both the sensors (thermocouples) attached to it and the samples inside of it. The large thermal mass of the heating blo

Most excellent. After systematically scraping the nyt homepage and exploring some (undocumented) apis, the author quantifies “how much of the homepage is straight news vs puff/opinion/other?” Answer: ~48% Logically, the next step

Thanks for mentioning muon-catalyzed fusion, it’s an interesting phenomena that should come up more often in these discussions.

There appears to be a newer and more extensive paper that encompasses and expands on Lentz' work, while also claiming Lentz's paper was mathematically incomplete or un-reproducible in some way: Bobrick A, Martire G. Introducing p
