Given that tokens are supply constrained right now for Anthropic and OpenAI (especially a problem for Anthropic), stepwise efficiency advances for either would give it a leg up on the other. It would also help them better compete on price w

The best thing to do is to tell the model itself what you'd like from it, and to help you craft a set of user preferences. Every so often I'll have a new suggestion for it, and it will revise the entire set for me. My Claude user

Free births without free discussion of experiences and information within the group- what could go wrong?

Here's my guess- your post reflects your honest opinion on the matter, with some LLM help. It elaborated on your smartphone analogy, and may have tightened up the text overall.

Because historically we haven't handled mental injuries as well as the physical ones. I don't completely disagree with your original points. I think depth, nuance, and accuracy of the conversation matters most of all. There is ple

If you are interested in learning more, there is a podcast series by New York Magazine called Cover Story: Power Trip that goes pretty deeply into MAPS. It is just one perspective on it, but a very valid one. Many of these concerns have bee

There might be some deliriant that produces altered states of mind, such that a patient with no MDMA/psychedelic experience could be blinded. That could also potentially work for the therapist or facilitator. If the control was essenti

It only makes sense for Deckard to be a replicant — something that Roy would know, and choose not to tell. Maybe I should have recognized this earlier, but I really like this point and feel it adds depth- whether or not the screenwriters

I think the movie is definitely set up with the premise that humanity is a stabled fixed point of reference, with Deckard representing that viewpoint. But once you had Deckard falling in love with Rachel, and then the ending with Deckard an

Replicants can try to fake the appropriate emotional reaction — might even be programmed to fake it to themselves, such that even they don’t realize what they are — but there is always a split-second delay, which the trained operator can

These guys were literally just filming themselves playing the piano, when they were approached by people completely outside the view of the camera telling them to stop.

Besides wanting to keep all the revenue, the NCAA talks up all that sanctimonious crap to justify their non-profit status so they don't have to pay taxes on it either.

I have been to two vegan sushi restaurants (I live in Los Angeles), one was okay and the other is surprisingly good. I remember the second place having a surprisingly good salmon substitute, but it obviously wasn't from this new startu

I am 100% for decriminalization, but understand it's not a black and white issue. I don't disagree with your point, at the same time there's a part of me that thinks, "You can't outlaw stupid." I feel for the g

There's also the situation in American football where the team on defense purposely lets another team score a touchdown rather than stop them for a field goal, in order to have some time left to try to regain the lead. Also vice versa,

Yeah, I can't think of a plausible rationale for this rule. FTA: -------------------------------------------- No match could end in a draw; if the teams were tied at the end of regular time, they would go into sudden death extra time.

It's a real movie review (though pretty short): > BlackBerry has everything Apple's Tetris film lacked: human drama grounded in actual history, without the need to spice things up with car chases and fantastical storytelling. O

Everything you guys say rings true to me. It ended up not adding a great amount of value for either businesses or consumers, and without true added value there's no revenue bite for Groupon. The stigma of using a coupon didn't bot

I agree with your point, just wanted to add that 'implicate' is not even the right term to describe the paper in question. Metaphors and analogies don't prove or even implicate anything, but can provide new perspectives for c

IIRC when you add items to your shopping cart, the little display shows what you added? I think it would actually be harder to have a bunch of people watching and recording your items manually, than the actual system they set up with 4 scan

I think the mystery and ambiguity of our dreams is what makes them so powerful. I personally prefer to let my dreams be, and explore them immediately after waking. I write them down in complete detail first, then slowly let their meanings r

They should have literally lit the billions on fire instead and made an NFT of it, then they might actually have something of 'value'.

Complacency and greed can just as easily exist in a dictator as it does collectively in a democracy. That being said, I think there are particular factors in the United States that favor corporations and their profits over the general good

Maybe the answer is to turn your indoor crops into juice packets, and charge customers $700 for a machine to squeeze the juice out of them.

I am not excusing any grift, poor planning, overpromises, or shoddy work done at any of these projects. But man to put so much faith (and money) into foreign banks and companies to be able to plan and carry out huge infrastructure projects
