RE what you are missing -- from your other comments I feel you haven't done much prior reading on the topic. There's lots out there, so go for it!

There has been lots and lots of writing on the phenomenology of mental illness and modern mental health culture. There is lots to not like: for instance it tends to encourage excessive rumination and negative feedback loops and over-identification with these designations, as you say. This is why I prefer to think of my diagnoses as models -- they are approximate descriptions of my behavior, and the treatments prescribed are also approximations, and it's up to me to use these as tools to improve my life. But you might enjoy reading some prior art on the topic

But in any case, if the tools aren't useful, then discard them -- I was diagnosed with PTSD in my early 20s, and at the time it was a tremendously helpful and eye-opening -- it hadn't occurred to me that the violence I experienced was impacting me so many years later, but when someone pointed it out to me, I was able to adjust the ways I related to myself and other people, and for the most part, my symptoms are in remission today. I no longer think of myself as "someone with PTSD" -- it's no longer a helpful lens through which I can understand myself
The reason for determining who is a "great power" is systemic, not based on individual country characteristics. India could be much stronger than russia, but if its surrounded by countries that are quite strong, it's hemmed in and not capable of dominating its region and hence not able to rival the real world powers (/ great powers).

A great (or "world") power is one which can leave its region militarily and could withstand an attack from the biggest power in the system (ie., the US).

All world powers see non-world-powers as their instruments: the EU was the US's instrument -- by bribery, threat, and protection racket it would get its own way, enrich itself, etc.

From the pov of these powers only they are soverign: hence vitnam, iraq, afganistan, cuba, etc. Hence the US engaging in a proxy war in ukraine in the first place.

India has pakistan and china to deal with, and its very unclear it can actually leave its area of the world. Hence the US doesnt have to treat it seriously. The only threats (to the US) are the powers that can withstand the US and "go on expiditions" with their militaries in regions that undermine US interests, and so on.

Here the US, mostly quite correctly, believes it can establish a detent with Russia -- but cannot with China. Russia is well-integrated into the western system, and only seeks to dominate a region the US has no interest in. The riskto it from china is far greater. It is very easy to imagine China in the western hemisphere, with a navy in a south american country -- it's nearly impossible to imagine this from India (and its highly unlikely from Russia).

India poses zero risk, nor is it clear it could ever. So regardless of what criteria you use, it will not factor into the thinking of the world powers.

The US in the 90s wanted poland (et al.) to be within its sphere of influence in the EU -- it's own instrument. It got its way. It over-reached trying to bring georgia and ukraine into the system, thinking Russia too weak to do anything about it. Well Russia isnt too weak, it has rebuilt its global status. So the US is running away and trying to reformulate a less ambitious foreign policy which its actually capable of executing

Infinite Retrieval: Attention enhanced LLMs in long-context processing
No, we're replacing finite oil and gas with other finite resources. Sun and wind require hardware to be converted into usable energy, that requires finite materials.

Sun and wind also require massive energy storage solutions to replace the ease of storing energy in the form of oil. Again that energy storage requires finite materials to make, maintain, and replace as they degrade.
On purpose, no. In practice, yes.

And why they are so expensive.

General aviation is still running on pistons. Not because small jet engines can't be built, but because they don't get cheaper as they get smaller. 6-passenger bizjet sized engines seem to be the lower economic limit.

Williams tried and tried. They built good small jet engines, all the way down to jetpack size, but those never got cheap.[1] There are "very light jets", but the smallest in production, the Cirrus Vision Jet, is around US$2 million.

It baffles me how the LLM output that Google puts at the top of search results, which draws on the search results, manages to hallucinate worse than even an LLM that isn't aided by Web results. If I ask ChatGPT a relatively straightforward question, it's usually more or less accurate. But the Google Search LLM provides flagrant, laughable, and even dangerous misinformation constantly. How have they not killed it off yet?
Can you clarify this assertion? If a lot of public servants are left leaning, make no mistake about them: they’re working for their incomes, regardless of political affiliation.

As other commenters have pointed out, a staggering amount of federal funds are paid to red states who are not working for these payments.

If this doesn’t debunk what you’re saying, then what exactly are you saying?

Like my comment, it's technically true and completely not worth discussing, because it will never happen.
What came to mind first is a situation where like, your company has a public API endpoint that sends emails for your SaaS. It accepts destination and email content as parameters. One day you find a deposed member of Nigerian royalty has used it to appeal to an entire address list worth of strangers to help them get money out of the country. They're clearly desperate, that's why they used your password reset form's API.

If your infrastructure is set up correctly, you can intercept that opportunity before it reaches the masses. Cut out the middleman. Deal with the prince directly. It's all yours now. It's your time. Daddy's eating steak tonight.
>Even with this, there are still limitations, but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater -- the goal is to produce an actionable explanation that we can use to reduce suffering, and for many people this explanation does exactly that.

Red states and billionaires. It’s not surprising that they’re politically aligned, and the government is run by billionaires.
I think a lot of these issues could be avoided if, instead of just a raw model, you have an AI agent which is able to test its own answers against the actual software… it doesn’t matter as much if the model hallucinates if testing weeds out its hallucinations.

Sometimes humans “hallucinate” in a similar way - their memory mixes up different programming languages and they’ll try to use syntax from one in another… but then they’ll quickly discover their mistake when the code doesn’t compile/run
If you aren’t buying something frequently, you drive to the big city when you need it, or you order it. Most specialist goods just aren’t available in a small town same day at any price.

Plumbers and other non niche service providers are also generally cheaper in small towns because cost of living is higher for the plumber too, all potential customers have less disposable income, and because the market isn’t perfectly efficient.

Housing and basic necessities like groceries are so much more expensive in thriving dense cities than in rural small towns, that they swamp out any costs for the vast majority of people.

Listening to music?

When I was a teenager I recorded vinyl, cassette, cd and even music from the radio on reel to reel tapes just because I liked using the Akai reel to reel tape deck my father was no longer using. Everything in it felt just more satisfyingly sturdy and mechanical to use than my other audio devices made with shitty plastics.

Sometimes the ritual matters more than the outright audio quality.

Curious if you believe you have ADHD (obviously you're prescribed so you "have" it per someone's assessment)

Taxes aren’t hard but people have been encouraged to talk about it like it’s a colonoscopy by Roto-rooter. Someone can have all W-2 income and only take the standard deduction, but thanks to that messaging they’ll act like filing your own taxes is incredibly dangerous with a high chance of ruining you for life (I know someone whose parent worked for the IRS as an auditor and they noted that many people ended up neutral or even getting a refund because an audit for someone who wasn’t trying to cheat would usually find deductions that they hadn’t claimed).

That’s not accidental: the rich have been funding anti-tax messaging since the introduction of the income tax, and it’s heavily promoted by the media voices they fund. The tax preparation industry is similarly biased since it’s with so profitable for the median voter to think that they need to pay hundreds of dollars every year to fill out a couple of forms.
Apologies! Tbc I haven't seen any responses from you before, not sure if I missed them somehow.

It’s also called Major depressive disorder. It’s basically depression that isn’t a temporary response to something. It’s long lasting depression that doesn’t go away.

> If I am 60 and you are 30, I can do the job and do it well, I should not be excluded because of my age.

On paper, yes, you shouldn't be excluded because of age. In practice, it doesn't work like it. 60 is basically retirement age for a reason, and it's been stretched to ever higher numbers due to demographics and strain on social spending pyramid schemes.

60 year olds do do not perform like 20-30 year olds unless they have some extraordinary secondary characteristics that make up for it.

Nope there's no attack here.

The training data is the Internet. It has mistakes. There's no available technology to remove all such mistakes.

Whether LLMs hallucinate only because of mistakes in the training data or whether they would hallucinate even if we removed all mistakes is an extremely interesting and important question.
Revenue is an incomplete signal of the complexity and waste. It’s just a signal of the money flowing through. A “single payer” system would probably also show a huge revenue number even if the profit was <=0. There’s just a lot of money and a lot of people who are patients.

I don’t disagree that the system requires change and is extremely complex, however.

The real problem is that it’s nearly impossible to “scale” healthcare and keep it personalized, and people want personalized healthcare - because that’s shown to be more effective healthcare. Doctors can only see a limited number of patients a day, and they need to be paid some compensation commensurate with their skills and efforts. That alone makes it hard for everyone “healthy” to see a doctor often enough and for long enough to get deeply personal care. Most people realistically can pay out of pocket for preventative care. $100-200/yr for an American isn’t crazy. Even most drugs are super affordable out of pocket if the profit margins are kept low (which is started to be available, bits at a time).

The real complexity, of course, is the long-tail where a few people get cancer and car accidents and other serious conditions which swamp the costs of everything else.
Doctors in the US do not suffer for the lack of patients. In most cases, psychiatrists are booked for months in advance. A lot of ADHD med prescription renewals are now handled by nurse practitioners as a result.

It's literally a 5-minute call: "Do you have any unusual side effects? How would you rate your depression/anxiety? OK, the prescription was sent to your pharmacy".

> The gross margin on amphetamine salts even at $20 must be insanely high. We're talking about what, a couple grams of active amphetamines in a month?

This is about as low as drug prices go in the US. And for amphetamines there's an additional overhead of having a pharmacist checking your ID, storing the drug in a safe overnight, filling out the DEA forms (for every link in the supply chain), etc.

Good Rx shows the price for amphetamine salts at $15 now (in Walgreens in my area).

I can definitely tell that the profit basis for ADHD diagnoses is just not there. There isn't much money in it for doctors or pharmacies.

Nope.

The law is sometimes a large barrier, but there are plenty of places in the world with high housing costs which have minimal regulations.

The problem is the cost of land.

Developers are severely capital constrained. They take massive loans from Banks. Most of those loans go to paying for the land.

Additionally, a large portion of their profits come from the increase in land value that they create from building. Land prices per unit area are higher in a new subdivision than they are in an undeveloped lot(Obviously the majority of the property price increase comes from the building, but the land also increases is my point). It doesn't cost anything to squat on the empty lots while building, so developers purchase multiple undeveloped lots near each other to capture this increase and minimize their purchase cost. Unfortunately, a side effect to this is that the developer basically becomes a monopoly on that area and no other developers or builders can compete with them. This lack of competition is one of the reasons that quality of new build construction has been on decline.

In a world with a land value tax, the acquisition cost of land is significantly lower, but holding it is significantly more expensive. This means that a builder is incentivized to purchase smaller tranches, and hold each lot for less time before starting construction. They will be able to invest more into larger teams because they did not need to loan as much to pay for the land. This will speed up development and also improve efficiency by allowing for more competition.
