20 yrs ago my wife had a near-fatal car accident. They screwed up the spelling of her last name when they checked her into the ER and the hospital tried to bill us $50k, and that was the "you have no insurance and we want to help" price. Later, when fixed, we saw that the insurance paid like $5k.

He literally gave a woman non-ship ftl capabilities. I bet he can handle it. But whatever. Gorgeous, fun movie anyway

I think it's equally dumb, honestly. If you can build a teleporter on a whim, why would you assume the billion year old space God doesn't have a portable one in his pocket? I can see sending him to another universe, but across space? Pfft. He'll be back in an hour.

Get those Gremlins twice.

No no see, it can't be biased. This time it's with "AI"

Do it! I had some mild problems with it, but it's still super fun.

Honestly, I think he's talking about just having everyone pay the hospital/doctor/whatever out of pocket. No insurance needed! Cut out the middleman!

Oh, huh. Making me think. I wonder if they could have done the show with the partner still "alive". Hard to say, so far. Carol might have ended up a lot more like the other normal people who had surviving family, and her isolation (and anger over it) seems to be a central driving point of the show.

The problem is, it remains to be determined if there is merit in showing the work to a llm INSTEAD of people. There probably is, to some degree, in the same way that you can waste a shitload of compute power to use an llm to spell check. But I don't think you should, necessarily.

I'll second that. Even if I think AI review - or any LLM usage in science communication at all - is probably going to be bad for science, I still think the experiment should be done, and I will be happy to be proven wrong!

Yes. This is the system that is deeply flawed. Peer review serving as a roadblock to scientific communication should go away entirely.

FWIW, in this case, there are probably some decent reasons for reflexively loathing the idea of taking humans further out of the scientific communication process in order to perpetuate publishing processes that are deeply flawed to begin with.

Then that will be one more reason to burn the scientific publishing business to the ground and salt the earth where its corpse lies.

"Bad thing is going to happen anyway" is not an argument for doing the bad thing.

If a superhuman intelligence came into being and we said, “how do we end scarcity?” I promise you the people who had one hand on the plug to that superhuman intelligence would pull that plug if the AI gave the actual answer, because they don’t want to end scarcity.

In fact, still there.

Literally everything Trump's second administration has done was on his campaign website, with video of him directly saying he was going to do it, or was in Project 2025. Usually both.

Awesome. I remembered it as turkey, but I think I was remembering the Post's "assault with a turkey club" gag headline.

FWIW, I had to get to the 6th paragraph in the article before it was clear that it was Kash misusing flights, not the senior official. Unclear use of "his". I mean, I assumed correctly, but wasn't sure.
