not sure what's socialist about it. farming is a weird sector though (and a small one; crucial, of course)

>the least efficient healthcare system in the world

and the most advanced healthcare

>ineffectual public education

actually it's better than most rich countries after controlling for race/ethnicity

that said, healthcare, education, and most of all housing are massively far from free markets, they're the most regulated parts and it's hard to innovate. the more free you make those markets, the better they'll get.

>massive wealth disparity

because, and this is no exaggeration, we are way fucking wealthier than almost anything except oil-rich Norway and tiny Luxembourg. it's a lot easier to have disparity when some grasses grow tall.

>crumbling national infrastructure

depends; California and New York yes, Texas no

>and a different school shooting every week

not that often but this is an american pathology yeah

local models will be powerful enough, can't say the same about local search engines 20y ago

the composition of HN has changed to be a lot more leftist and less capitalist, and I don't think that'll change anytime soon

>How do you know?

Well, if a European dev asked me how I could possibly know if they'd make more in a less regulated environment, I would point to American salaries.

Agree it's hard to know things and that antitrust arrangement was bad. If we're talking policy, we are implicitly accepting counterfactual reasoning (because otherwise why would we change policy).

letting AI do what it's good at, while constraining the overall system to follow the right practices, is like the ideal combo

are you a software engineer?

fwiw the article doesn't sound LLM to me whatsoever, so opinions def vary!

>I don't what you are talking about but it's nonsense and offensive

This just reads as "I don't know whether you're on Other Team.. but, I'll assume you are, here goes:"

The very first thing I did vibe-coding was commit my prompts and AI responses. In Cursor that's extremely easy—just 'export' a chat. I stopped for security concerns but perhaps something like that is the way.

>Where is the resulting software?

Everywhere.

Remember Satya Nadella estimating 30% of code at Microsoft was written by AI? That was March. At this point it's ubiquitous—and invisible.

It's hard to see how suffering gets into the bits.

The tricky thing is that it's actually also hard to say how the suffering gets into the meat, too (the human animal), which is why we can't just write it off.

I like Manus's suggested follow-up questions.

In fact, sometimes I screenshot them and use Mac's new built-in OCR to copy them, because Manus gives me three options but they disappear if I click one, and sometimes I really like 2 or even all 3.

Personally, I don't understand how LLMs work. I know some ML math and certainly could learn, and probably will, soon.

But my opinions about what LLMs can do are based on... what LLMs can do. What I can see them doing. With my eyes.

The right answer to the question "What can LLMs do?" is... looking... at what LLMs can do.

easy, let them all judge then? you guessed it...

a CEO laying off 3% scales in absolute numbers as the company grows

should, therefore, large companies, even ones that succeed largely in a clean way by just being better at delivering what that business niche exists for, be made to never grow too big, in order to avoid impacting very many people? keep in mind that people engage in voluntary business transactions because they want to be impacted (positively—but not every impact can be positive, in any real world)

what if its less efficient substitutes collectively lay off 4%, but the greater layoffs are hidden (simply because it's not a single employer doing it which may be more obvious)?

to an extent, a larger population inevitably means that larger absolute numbers of people will be affected by...anything

yeah this agency is kinda what I imagined DOGE was created to be. alas now I am just confused

>This is how people surround themselves with "yes men" >But this always results in the death of a business

I think you are conflating a "business yes man" with a "newspaper angle yes man". It is fine for a major newspaper to endorse certain values, and distance themselves from others! It's fine because it's a big country with a lot of newspapers!

I don't see how this is remotely incompatible with the parent. What percentage of the 8am-2am grind, do you think said Elon-tweets take? 1%? Less? What the team is doing during the unpublicized 99% is of more interest to me.

Wow it just ate the rook huh?

a "no-brainer"? for a one-time reduction? that severely damages America's ability to generate wealth? am I taking crazy pills today? I advise you to compare America's GDP per capita and especially disposable income per capita to any other country. wealth generation matters so much more than distribution.

Yeah with a "default yes" approach it'll be easily bypassed. With a "default no" it would work, ie you simply don't get an account at all until you prove your age.

Remarkable that it starts with "Of course"

Heh, only the laughingstock to you and your bubble, I guess

Students are more arrogant than LLMs (but still more generally intelligent)

Agree up til last paragraph: how's Altman involved? Otoh Sutskever is a true believer so that explains his Why

Special in the sense of scale does not equate to special in the sense of adapting to your business' needs/culture/sensemaking

Let them have some excitement, God knows Tulsans need it

finally a sensible metric!

"worse": in the last 10-15 years? Because the Industrial Revolution was... before that

>think about what would motivate one

to be blunt, I think just someone who thinks differently than you, clearly they do not think it's an absurd bill, that's what the whole piece is about...

Since the dawn of man we've wondered: can I make fire? Can I set this on fire? And the modern conundrum: is this material flammable, or inflammable?
