How could that make sense? The emergent capabilities of the models are obviously critical to the evolution of that whole system.

Don't "real" consequences apply for setting weights? There's an actual monetary cost to train these models, and they have to actually perform to keep getting trained. Sure it's VC spend right now and not like, biological reproduction driving the incentives ultimately, but it's not outside the same structure.

It's not an assumption, it's an extremely developed international field of tactical and strategic study that leads to these conclusions

I love location sharing with friends. "Find my Jerry", "Find my Anna" we call it in our friend group. It simplifies logistics, gives us a narrow but fun little window into each others' worlds.
"Is __ on the top of the mountain or waiting in the lift line?" I want my friends to find me, and my friends want to be found by me. It's nice!

You want to always use mineral zinc and to learn for your own body and the sun conditions of your environment whether and how often you need to reapply. You're not going to be doing that math based on SPF anyways.

It's a common failure mode and most other OTCs won't kill you if you occasionally accidentally take an extra dose or two. Agreed that it's safe at the correct dose but the hazards are severe and dosing incorrectly is inevitable at population scale.

Arguably there are some evolutionary advantages to the presence of elders in social species with cultural transmission but your point stands

Seidenberg's work is really interesting but he's definitely not arguing that sweat lodges are a part of historical Jewish practice. He's doing a compare/contrast.

Hahaha I love that idea. An LLM enters the Obsidian vault and responds to a prompt by following an arcane and elaborate sequence of calculations. Does it really understand?

I'm also not an expert here, but looking through the figures [1], that one HR result for Asperger's in a figure 4 is...surprising to see, given the headlines.
This is far from strong evidence of an effect, but you're absolutely right that this at least deserves discussion in the paper and coverage.

Nope! Rabbi Akiva, who, as the story goes, was an illiterate shepherd until he started studying in his 40s, and went on to become one of the most renowned scholars of his era. This is why some Jewish tradition teaches that for mystical study, one should wait until the age of 40
e.g. being aerobically trained and overweight may be more or less equivalent to being at a healthy weight but not training. obviously the best case scenario is to be at a healthy weight and trained. additionally, aerobic training is much more achievable and sustainable for most people long term than weight loss.
