Parents do not have infinite resources to 'take responsibility'. I do not think that is a practicable option, let alone a serious or optimal one.

The analogy extends to driving generally. Everyone knows it's very dangerous but people keep doing it.

It's really hard to navigate. I cannot work out what the contest is; it seems to assume you know what it is already.

I do not think that self-defense of an invading force is what just war theory is concerned with. The passage also says it is outdated, not that the doctrine is abrogated.

It sounds like the prison recordings were compulsory, which is a different kettle-of-fish. The key phrase "if they share" implies voluntary and deliberate action, and is not much of an oversimplification imo.

> What matters is that the parties intended and expected communications to be privileged.

I would contend that your summary, not theirs, is a oversimplification. Jurisdictions will obviously differ, but privilege does not attach merely because of the intent and beliefs of the lawyer and client.

I can certainly believe that the assurance the US gives to its pilots that they will never be left behind and the public demonstration of that assurance as something the US values in the billions of dollars.

It is also clear that if the mission was not a purely rescue mission then it would have taken a lot more equipment than what appears to have been used. Even for an escalade style high-risk low-probability mission it would be inadequate.

I think the most likely version of the claim would be that the Pentagon would have used the planning and execution of the mission as a valuable opportunity to learn for a dedicated mission to extract uranium in a contestable theatre. But even that is pushing it.

LLM providers are not obliged to only use LLMs to guard against hazardous output. They could use other automated and non-automated techniques. And they ought to do so if they are given good evidence that existing safeguards are inadequate. Loss of product quality or additional cost should be secondary.

It would be logical if your date of birth changed the available options for country of birth to the set of countries that were contemporaneously recognized.

You're still using outdated bio-hearts? Wouldn't it be better to just use a cronjob on a server-controlled heart?

This does not strike me as an anti-pattern or ugly. Indefinite free period would be unreasonable, and automatically kicking a user off would also probably be bad. A $200 bill shock is not great but it's also at a size that won't cause enormous distress while simultaneously being noticeable enough that you won't pay more than a month over. (As an open-source maintainer already on a Max plan, I still wince every month.) Income-constrained users should not adopt it or should set a reminder well beforehand.

Your suggestion of "we'll evaluate" individually would be a very costly undertaking for Anthropic. Not reasonable. If your suggestion was for Anthropic to evaluate at the end of the 6 months whether to continue the free plan generally, I don't see anything that prevents them from doing so.

I think Anthropic should probably give some notice in the CLI or Claude.ai in the final month of the offer. Not doing that would be a bit ugly.

Speculation only obviously: highly-charged conversations cause the discussion to be channelled to general human mitigation techniques and for the 'thinking agent' to be diverted to continuations from text concerned with the general human emotional experience.
