The people are in charge of congress, and they consistently show they do not support socialized healthcare systems. It will never be a politically viable path for the u.s, regardless of the economics. Even if it somehow passed, opposition w

And someone else's bottom line is also the wages of friends and neighbors. Last I heard healthcare is like the only employment sector that's seeing real growth right now.

I'm sure they're using whatever they can get their hands on, including Anna's archive. The business process of buying books to scan offers the opportunity to ingest media that hasn't yet been digitized, but also provides

It's no more a perversion of writing than the act of using an LLM to write in the first place.

The "untestable" meme is just a thought terminating cliche. It's as if you believe no researchers ever considered the brilliant insight that the framework is difficult to test. History is littered with plenty of examples of a

> My idea is mixing deterministic nature of existing tooling (non-LLM tooling) with non-deterministic nature of LLMs. This is the fundamental idea behind every LLM harness.

TypeScript's type system is extremely expressive while still allowing you to retain the flexibility of a scripting language. v8 and JSC also have decades of performance tuning across basically every consumer device.

"Gambling on a bailout" doesn't sound like an appealing investment prospect.

To be fair, a plurality of voters care more about the culture war than the economy as well.

> which is now on much shakier footing Is it though? As far as I can tell they continue to maintain total domination of web search, and LLMs do not replace search engines, they work on top of them.

Ok, now do memory capacity and bandwidth - the things that actually constraint local LLMs.

Physical reality is not software or math, LLMs can't design "equipment to manufacture autonomously".

Sure, I'm just saying, even for "mundane" computing tasks where the hardware is cheap, if you're optimizing for cost, renting hardware is always the better choice.

Well, if you only ever needed a $20 subscription's worth of tokens it would never make any sense to buy hardware since even at 2018 prices you could buy 20 years of subscriptions.

I agree, but I'd say there's obviously some verbal intelligence involved in regurgitating arbitrary knowledge on demand in a semi-convincing way. It's absolutely a stochastic parrot, but parrots have some intelligence.

I'm pretty skeptical of the LLM hype, but I'd say it's fair to describe LLMs as displaying some form verbal intelligence.

"Knowing the codebase" seems like an antithetical philosophy to LLM driven engineering orgs.

You're right. I misread your comment as attached to a different thread.

> Can't we just go back to node + npm + vitest + vite? You're kind of stating the reason for the buzz there: one runtime that does everything you need rather than cobbling together a dozen different tools. Not that there&#x27

The fact that you're likening a sparing few narrowly targeted tarrifs to capriciously applied illegal global tarrifs suggests you're not quite looking at things fairly.

Whether or not it's illegal is typically determined a few months after the act in question. Since 2024, SCOTUS has sided with Trump about 90% of the time, so most likely it's legal. Still, even if it's later determined to be

Because the model can output data in a manner optimized for training a new model, including outputs that were post-trained like RLHF and RLVR.
