The interesting question is how long it takes enterprises to notice the capability/pricing tradeoff, and whether they respond by limiting access to the strongest models internally.

The part that worries me is that this market is still very early. Most developers and organizations are still learning how to use these tools effectively. Raising the experimentation cost this much may slow down the discovery process that makes the tools valuable in the first place.

Again, who knows. Would it have made a difference if other news channels had picked up the story? Probably. Did it make a difference? Doesn't look like it.

Look, I voted for Obama 2008, voted Libertarian in 2012, and Trump 2016/2020 (for his America first policies, not his personality, which why this election was so mind blowing). My background is in Finance, specifically Hedge Funds, and I'm relatively a newcomer to watching how Politics all works. The idea that you have to stir your constituents into a craze for 4 years and feed them lies, so you don't lose power is really sad. Both sides are guilty of it.

And this get to one of things I really hate about US politics. They write the rules, but don't seem to have to abide by any of them. There is always a loop hole or connection to save them. Pathetic.

Regarding Tucker, his show is the only show I watch every night. I think he does a great job at bringing light to the under belly of Washington. 'The sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink.' Now, do I think he's perfect, no. Nobody is.

I hope everyone realizes the powers that took on Trump, Big Tech, Deep State, China/Russia/EU, Democrats, etc. Quite the feat that it took that much power to barely beat Trump (which is debatable until we get a handle on what happened for voting. I don't know if the election was rigged, but I wouldn't put it past them and there are some weird anomalies in the voting data).

After seeing this, I lost some faith in the Election betting markets.

Open Letter: 745 Democratic & Anti-Trump Economists Oppose Trump's Re-Election

I assume most people see through this propaganda these days...

The emails show that Joe Biden was aware of his family's cash for influence scheme with shady companies overseas in China, Ukraine, and elsewhere..

What we also know now is that he was actively participating that scheme by having meetings that assisted his family's activities.

What I find so troubling about these emails, which very much look to be Hunter Biden's, is that it warped America's foreign policy. For example, in China, where Joe Biden was the point man for Obama, he went easy on China militarizing the South China Sea and he went easy on them for ripping of Intellectual Property.

In other words, China did well, American lost out, and the Biden family enriched themselves to the tune of millions of dollars.

I should have added that I think it depends on what the creator of the graphics/information is trying to show. If it's a pure death rate comparison, then sure you could lump everything together.

However, if you want to show a more real-time comparison, you choose to segment the data based on time.

Just think about it.

We barely knew anything about covid or how to treat it at the start of the year. Now, it seems like we have a better understanding and how to potentially treat it.

Compare this to Influenza/Pneumonia, which I'm just guessing we've been studying for much longer and already have treatments for.

You could probably add some sort of moving average 50 days and 200 days to provide a clearer picture of how we are currently doing.

I care that he is doing what is best for the United States and based on his track record, for the most part I think he is.

If anyone is interested in understanding another point of view, check out Tucker Carlson. He has black guests on all the time who make a pretty good counter-case and provide their perspective.
