The toll will be just a bit under what it would cost to divert the supply.

Well even today you have the UAE and Qatar warning them not to do this. It’s likely to me that the fighting won’t stop until the situation is different, even if the US were to pull out today.

> But the markets think everything is... fine? So... what are we missing here?

You are missing that the current governance is very ready to print money to bailout any situation. The market can go down in nominal value but still up in dollar's.


I have found it depends on how comfortable the earplugs are. If I feel they are uncomfortable in the ear, there is a good chance I'll get an infection/inflammation in the next few days.

This argument actually doesn’t work in Google/your-point favor since finding pirated content on Google is now practically impossible.

The reality is, Google is driven strictly by incentives and there are no consequences for letting spam/scams run wild vs. pirated content which gets automatically removed when a DMCA notice is received.


There is 100% pirated content on Youtube - not too much from Hollywood and you won't find anime on it - but if you watch foreign language media, there is very often the Official account and then like 4-5 others just blatantly providing the identical content, which is promoted alongside the legitmate content, so its fairly easy to start watching legit stream and find yourself not watching legitimatly a few episodes later, playlists are huge to prevent that.

The problem with this is the piecemeal enforcement all but proves they only care about stuff they get a cut of and that fact became more clear to me recently when I was watching a random drama made in Asia that I wont name due it being one of the best historical and educational shows I've ever watched - but there was a scene (this was made in the 90s btw) that was entirely innocent, not sexualized - it was done humorously, but I'm not a pdf file either so - anyways, there were fully naked children, with absolutely no censorship, on Youtube - 100% long enough to be noticed by their trackers - they obviously just are not reviewing certain content, at all.

I don't care about piracy at all - I'd still use Youtube if it was the primary source for pirated content, the idea that there may be some obscure content, that seems totally fine, in a language nobody really uses - except for Epstein types, if ever that was discovered - that Youtube had become a haven for pdf files bc of lax application of standards - I would want Youtube split away from Alphabet and force sold on the cheap to a more responsible owner (like Tiktok minus the responsible owner part) - plus an enormous fine.

I didn't believe that such content could exist at all on the platform - until I literally saw with my eyes that it obviously can.


I am working on simpler, faster and lighter alternatives to CI/CD containers and merge queues.

Currently two products are beta-ready (merge conflicts/codeowners) and the demos are available here: https://codeinput.com/products/code-owners/demo and here: https://codeinput.com/products/merge-conflicts/demo


Doctors talk to patients?

I know. I know. Part of it is that talking to patients on average is useless but still this can’t be really used for an argument against AI.

Still doctors can have a more broad picture of the situation since they can look at the patient as a whole; something the LLM can’t really synthesize in its context.


There’s really nothing preventing an LLM from having the context a doctor does. The two avenues of context gathering by the doctor are:

- looking at their medical history/charts

- asking follow up questions

An LLM based system is trivially capable of doing both of those.


> looking at their medical history/charts

I think you'd be incredibly surprised how often charts are super, super incomplete or wrong. Like "pt has no pancreas and presented with pain and weeping from a 6yo pancreatectomy scar" but the chart doesn't mention the surgery or the entire missing organ wrong. Like "pt is a twin whose sibling died traumatically of cancer in front of them a year ago and presents with probable hypochondria about cancer" but the chart doesn't mention any family history wrong. Like "lifelong history of severe cognitive impairment substantiated by a psych eval; attended annual physical before being sent to imaging for head trauma because of observed impairment" but the chart doesn't mention cognition (someone was too polite to note it) nor the psych eval (records sharing wasn't allowed) wrong.

Those are a very few examples off the top of my head. I worked in EMR. I don't know shit about medicine, but man, do I know a lot about the complaints physicians and their staff send when they think it's the records system's fault that the chart was wrong or missing info.

In a big chunk of cases, the MD/NP/whatever's in-person role is determining what's not on the chart so that they can then ask appropriate follow-up questions. Given the massive range of possible dx for a given issue, and how much of getting the right dx doesn't have to do with probabilities/numbers of similar patients with the same symptom:dx data that'd be in the training set, I have major doubt that an LLM can appropriately intuit or appropriately question in order to diagnose.


It's not. And LLMs don't do well with YAML either. I've had the agent/model struggle with `sed` trying to count how many spaces are in there multiple times to get the file to pass. It's the worst format you can use for LLMs.

    Dear Claude,
    I hope this email finds you well.\
    I am writing to ask if you could please do another task for me.\
    Start by running \`npx @acai.sh/cli skill\`.\
    This will teach you everything you need to know about our process for spec-driven development. Then, proceed to plan and implement the features specified in our spec files.

    Love,\

Honestly, I can no longer tell parody from reality. Whether in politics or AI.

Not sure why he is being called for this (or maybe he edited his comment?) but I re-read it a couple times and he is not saying Iran is an Arab country but comparing to the other Arab countries.

It's normal. They can't debate the actual statement, so they talk about something irrelevant to derail the conversation.

I'm not interested in whatever it was you were debating. You referred to Arab countries, someone said (correctly) Iran isn't Arab, you said "I understand it's not an Arab monarchy", and I was moved to point out it's not an Arab anything. I'm not a party to whatever other debate you believe is happening here.

Here is a comparison for SVG generation for the top models: https://codeinput.com/s/5KEGl1e3rB3

Open AI has GPT-5.5 Pro which only difference, I think, is in the price. Billing is from open router but the breakdown is roughly

    - GPT 5.5 Pro: Super expensive it makes no sense (cost is around $2)
    - Gemini/Opus: $0.2/$0.1. Opus is cheaper as it consumed less tokens
    - DeepSeek/GLM: $0.019/$0.021 10-5 times cheaper than Gemini and Opus
The example Simon generated just shows that larger models don't necessarily produce better results.
