In my personal testing, Argon is exceptional at writing tasks. After a few simple eval loops of you correcting things into your own voice you can have it sound almost exactly like you.

I think the rollout was phased. I couldn't see Argon in Antigravity on my personal AI Pro account until late last night.

No way to run OAI on a machine with monorepo access even if you wanted to. Claude runs on Vertex so it's not leaving Google infrastructure.

Posts about Meta must bring up general distrust of the company and its leadership. Posts about Google have to mention them sunsetting products often.

It's just tradition at this point.

I think our AI systems are essentially massive Central Executive Networks. But novel ideas (creativity) come from the Default Mode Network.

These are the difference in what Kahneman called System 2&1 thinking and what the ancients called the Ratio and the Intellect.

LLMs are all ratio. They depend on our intellect for guidance.

A question I've often wondered: is the "cost" of bad recycling higher or lower than the cost of not recycling?

We've moved a few times over the years and it's often surprising what is and isn't recyclable in different jurisdictions. This means I often find myself putting something into the recycle that isn't recyclable in my current jurisdiction.

Is this worse than just not recycling, let's say on a per unit basis? I.e. is one unit of recyclable material in the landfill more or less bad than one unit of trash in the recycling pipeline?

Not sure there's an answer, but it's a question I've pondered often.

More than half of states have significantly more permissive abortion laws than OP's gone country of Denmark (18 weeks). Most of Europe limits at 14 weeks.

You are misinformed.

More than half of the US has more liberal abortion laws than Denmark (25 states and DC). 6 states with a combined population roughly 5-6X that of Denmark legalized gay marriage before your home country.

You are misinformed.

The US is objectively one of the most liberal states in the world in all three of those metrics, especially abortion. Who are you comparing us to?

Arab Orthodox Christians have been saying "inshallah" longer than Muslims have been around.

No, welfare is when you're given money for value you're not providing. It's a net drain on the system.

This is a government entity procuring a product they need from a private entity.

You can dislike it, but it's not a handout. Words have meaning.

The Department of War is a customer, there's no handout here.

The government does procure services from private firms, this isn't new or special.

No, I have the feeling that “feeling safe” is “unhealthy” because these online communities children get access to are full of predators who wish them harm.

The online communities in question do more damage than good. They encourage isolation and spread social contagion.

We should do more as a society, absolutely! But these places are not “stop gaps” because they’re NOT helping.
