of course, but you're missing the point being discussed here, which is "why are (some) people vaccine resistant but not resistant to medication in general?"; it becomes an issue when vaccines are _mandated_ (or quasi-mandated through heavy social pressure), because that's when the trust issue comes into play.

Better check on that. I know of a few countries that have no problem with foreign-owned radio stations. I assume that applies to television stations, too.

That's not actually correct. You need to pay for reserved power in the grid, which can be significant amount regardless if you are using that power or not. So installing big DCFC charger where nobody is going to use it will eat you up on fees for reserved power.
Again a logical choice.

Much like banks the boards of airlines are incentivized to have high levels of debt supported dividends / buybacks because it’s a highly volatile industry. Money isn’t clawed back from investors, but cash reserves disappear in a downturn.

Really any high risk industry where profits can be extracted in good times faces the same issues. The possibility for concessions from governments or people they owe money to like retires and bond holders etc, then repeat the cycle while maintaining control incentives high risk strategies because they are leveraging other people’s money.
The "China collapse" claim is indeed not new, and it is as wrong as ever.

The demographic situation is manageable, especially given how the generation entering retirement are factory workers, who are being replaced by automation on a massive scale. The generation which enters the labor market has a much higher number of college degrees.

Real estate bubble doesn't concern most Chinese citizens, but only those who used it to speculate, despite being warned by Xi not to[1]. If you own a house for living inside, you don't need to care if its resale value goes up or down. Still, deflating the housing bubble was painful, but China managed to grow the economy through this anyway.

About war, I don't think so, at least not in the next 4 years. Trump and several Republican leaders made it clear already that they don't want to defend Taiwan, so the Taiwanese government will likely refrain from things which could trigger armed conflict. Even if things escalated, a naval blockade would be more likely, and the US public largely doesn't support entering into direct conflict over that[2].

Yes, it is as I mentioned in my 2nd paragraph, mathematical conflict resolution is not semantically relevant for humans much of the time. That is why I don't think automated merge conflict resolution with no human input can really work, that is why Git asks you to resolve merge conflicts before committing again. CRDTs can only really help when users edit disparate pieces of data, and if editing the same piece of data, some set of users need to be there, as in an online rather than offline capacity, to facilitate the merges, such as in Google Docs where if I edit a sentence with a spelling correction and you delete the sentence entirely, I will ask you directly what's up.

Now, what some Git merge software is doing is using LLMs to coordinate merges, which I think might be useful to do so in plain text editing too, perhaps embedded into these CRDT libraries, but fundamentally, there must be someone to facilitate merges, whether it be a human agent or an AI one. It is impossible to do so with an entirely automated solution simply because the machine does not know the intents of all its users.

Building military is much much more expensive than paying influencers.

Russian propaganda machine is incredibly strong, because it was perfected on their own citizens for basically century now. They spend billions on pure propaganda:

- discrediting news agencies without actual reasons
- cultivating "free thinkers" festering on real problems
- offering variety of narratives and providing state sponsored falsehoods to justify them
- overloading people with information to point where they don't care
- generating so much outrageous (false and true) news that people spend all their attention on bogus
- supporting 'nobody cares' atmosphere where people feel no agency

While with military - they relied on propaganda as well. They projected power while not picking conflicts with anyone who can punch back.

Ukraine appeared too big to swallow this time and everyone can see, that king is naked. Russian military is a sham compared to US. Like, incomparable to be honest. But problem is that propaganda is much stronger than military. So west made a mistake dismissing russia because of their weak corrupt military while being invaded by propaganda.

West has nothing against russian propaganda machine and this is what truly terrifying to be honest.

I don't understand the comments excusing the CEO of his responsibility. I work for a scale-up insurance company, and the CEOs are pretty clear with their mandate: customer service is paramount, we make money by streamlining our processes, negotiating hard with our network, and pricing properly our products. NOT by denying claims. This philosophy is enforced from the top all the way down, with Chinese walls between pricing and claims handling, proper training, and continuous NPS surveys
Or it may be straightforward (the people in control know they're in control) but not reflected in the books as it's not an accounting issue, and therefore the accountant doesn't really know (and doesn't want to assume wrong).

I agree there's a lot of decisions that have to be made on the basis of "the tech and how it looks on resume" (as I'm finding out by not having React Native on mine).

If anyone else finds themself in this position, I highly recommend you sell what you can, pack the rest up into a storage unit, and travel, 4 or 6 months in each location.

$80k can easily last you 4+ years of very comfortable living in much of the world. Enjoy the food, really try and learn some of the local language, and enjoy yourself.

You can do it, and there won't be another window.
Even the strongest possible interpretation of the results wouldn't conclude "ARC-AGI is dead" because none of the submissions came especially close to human-level performance; the criteria was 85% success but the best in 2024 was 55%.

That said, I think there should be consideration via information thermodynamics: even with TTT these program-generating systems are using an enormous amount of bits compared to a human mind, a tiny portion of which solves ARC quickly and easily using causality-first principles of reasoning.

Another point: suppose a system solves ARC-AGI with 99% accuracy. Then it should be tested on "HARC-HAGI," a variant that uses hexagons instead of squares. This likely wouldn't trip up a human very much - perhaps a small decrease due to increased surface area for brain farts. But if the AI needs to be retrained on a ton of hexagonal examples, then that AI can't be an AGI candidate.
I suspect the biggest issue is the cost of having children today. Most big cities lack enough space so they are turning to apartments to house people. So that means most families will have one or two kids at most. Then there's the costs of raising them. It's just too expensive for even a 2 parent families. Say nothing of single parents. Also, birth control makes it less likely to have unwanted children.

If anything computer are a distraction to fill time not the cause of the reduction in births.
> There's a reason you don't see immigrants from all over the world coming to the US to open charging stations the way you saw them opening gas stations.

As the other commenter said, AFAIK, the majority of a gas station's income comes from the convenience store, no? Profit margins on gas are really low - Google says it's around 2%.
I dislike the anti-immigration far-right in Denmark but for the past 25 years they have been electorally and influentially more successful with one simple trick: Don't support the geopolitical adversaries of the West. Maybe the AfD and LePen should have listened instead of publicly fellating Putin.

> I thought levels of fructose weren't as important as other qualities, like fiber content.

> Dates are often referenced as a good fruit option

fyi, 100gr of dried dates it like 3 to 4 times the average amount of sugar recommended per day. Just 2 medjool dates and you hit your daily sugar recommendation.

At the end of the day your body will have to process the stuff you ingest, if it comes with fibers the digestion will be slower, but if you eat too much of X Y Z day after day it's just a matter of time before your body gives up
At the limit, it would probably look like an LLM, because it's akin to rules-based AI in the '90s vs neural network AI today. Expert systems had programmers write many rules in order to process information, which is what this "intent declaration" language would also be like, users writing many rules that would be followed. But this approach didn't work because even humans didn't even know all of the rules needed, therefore we turned to the statistical approaches of current neural network AI.
I feel like fruit used to be food but now the available cultivars resemble candy. Or maybe it's just my taste buds changing, not sure.
> Still, deflating the housing bubble was painful, but China managed to grow the economy through this anyway.

China hasn't deflated its housing bubble yet. Yes, real estate turn over has basically ground to a standstill, but that doesn't mean many have been forced to take a loss yet. The reckoning still hasn't come, and should look something like a larger Japan property bubble pop when it happens.

Still, the US is screwed since China is basically going to own automation via its current investments (along with investments in EVs, green energy, and HSR). If they can figure out their chip and jet turbine problems (still not solved, they can't make fast chips economically yet, or even expensive ones without western equipment), they have everything in the bag, so to speak.

Perhaps this is a sign that a health insurance company is inherently a poor way to provide health care to a country.

And they increase their profits by rationing more. And as is so often pointed out to me, the highest priority of a private company is profit.
That's a farcically absurd statement given the context. Following this logic, Japan and the US being adversaries is the only justification you need for Japanese internment camps.

Meh, IMHO the actually important rule is that parliament has to consent to the PM. He appointed someone else that had a majority tolerating him, and then parliament changed its mind and now Macron has to pick someone else. The left only has a plurality not a majority. Why should that guarantee they get to pick a PM?

If the results were 30% centrists, 30% leftists, 40% RN would you be calling for a RN PM?
I feel like I came across some similar research years ago.

It brought up a question that I'm hoping someone in this field could answer:
Does it make sense to speed up cancer cell replication while providing chemo drugs?

It seems like this would result in greater discrimination between fast-replicating cells (cancer) and normal cells. In turn, this would allow faster chemo treatments, or less collateral damage.
In table sugar each fructose is conected to a,glucose in a single molecule (so 50% and 50%).

In high fructose corn syrup they are disconected.

This cange a lot of things like how fast they get to the blood and how fast cells can use them.

I'm skeptical of a lot of good/bad reported health effects, but it's not obviously a nop.
nobody here was drawing vast conclusions from Steve Jobs eating fruit; there is nothing for you to deflate

Just as celebrities with diseases can draw attention to that disease, for the good with regard to other sufferers, a study about fructose and cancer can draw attention to "Steve Jobs diet was fructose".

Attention drawn. There's nothing you can do about it.

And you are not debunking anything because nobody asserted anything except a single fact; you're just shouting in a mirror about how clever you are.
HR departments generally have no authority over individual claims. Rather they work with insurers and independent employee benefits consultants to construct a health plan with certain benefits and coverage rules which they think will minimize costs (based on predictive analytics) without hurting employee retention too much. Large insurers offer employers a menu of options with various provider networks (narrow versus wide), negotiated rates, deductible / co-insurance / co-payment amounts, carve outs, special extra benefits, etc. Once the plan rules are set at the beginning of the year, the insurer just enforces the rules as written and passes the claim charges on to the employer.

Of course, sometimes health plans just make errors in claim processing and deny a claim that should have been approved. Or the provider makes an error and submits a claim with incorrect codes or lacking the necessary documentation to establish medical necessity as per coverage rules. Or there are gray areas where it's not always clear whether a certain service should be covered or not, and it comes down to a judgment call by a nurse or doctor employed by the insurer (medicine is still more art than science and the best treatment plan isn't always clear). This can be a huge hassle for patients dealing with serious medical conditions.
I mean, it's a lie by omission - which fundamentally needs familiarity (and oftentimes intermediate+ knowledge on a matter) to spot and scrutinize. The people who write these press releases are led by smart people that often talk to smart lawyers - it's easy to get lost in the sneaky language sauce.

> Thanks for the article but I don't think I have the sequence reversed

I suppose I read your first sentence as being in future tense when it might not be. The thrust of my argument is that Meta already successfully built those ad targeting models (Advantage+), and they preceded the Llama releases, so they don't need to use Llama-derived models for ad targeting, as I understood your comment to be suggesting. The sequence was not/will not be "Llama -> ad targeting", but was "ad targeting -> Llama"

Meta didn't have to release the weights of the models. Ad revenue doesn't explain why they did so.

"Doctors won't mention that losing weight and exercising more will make you healthier" is quite a take.

I've heard exactly the opposite from any number of people: that if you're overweight at all, many doctors will tell "lose weight and exercise" and then usher you out the door, rather than pay attention to the specifics of your medical problems - sometimes missing serious issues as a result.
