This was listed as a hallucination but is the most accurate for my name: “A NAME THAT MAY REFER TO AN INDIVIDUAL, BUT I CAN’T IDENTIFY A SINGLE WELL-KNOWN PERSON WITH CERTAINTY FROM THE QUERY ALONE.”

Slight correction here. It is fraud if you intend to stay after getting married. Nobody cares if you get married on a tourist visa and leave the country after.

In DC too. Usually associated with political campaigns, although I recently saw one advertising Uber Teens outside a school.

Yes, the government has concocted a dastardly conspiracy to cut health system costs by reducing access to a known cause of illness.

I’ve recently been unwillingly exposed to this side of things. It’s truly an insane, there must be a better way?

A couple of podcasts in my rotation had Sarah Wynn-Williams on as a guest [1] [2], with the caveat that she was unable to talk about the book or comment on the Meta. Absurd.

Is "30 under 30" one of those schemes that require people to put themselves forward and maybe pay a fee? I've seen a bunch of "awards" (particularly for companies) that follow the same model.

Quote from the article subheading:

"The First Judicial District of Pennsylvania said the rule is designed to protect witnesses and jurors from intimidation."

It seems like a perfectly reasonable motivation to ban any device from courts.

What do you mean by “scientific”? These concepts aren’t discoverable in nature. However, they’re transparently defined in the code book and the “opinions” are available for analysis in the expert coder-level dataset.

The fine tuning endpoint is deprecated according to the API docs. Is this the replacement?

The simpler explanation is that we live in a world that is more connected than ever so politicians, campaigners and the rest can get policy ideas almost instantly. There is no grand conspiracy, just a smaller world.

For high-level football/calcio/soccer at least, Reddit is and has been better for a long time. Often goal and other key highlights are uploaded before the broadcasters.

Could this escalate to the point that Anthropic exits the US and sets up shop elsewhere? Or would the company cease to exist before it got to that point?

The bitcoin entry is off. jdoliner‘s criticism ended up being more true than false; it isn’t wildly trusted as a medium of exchange and it being an “asset class” doesn’t disprove that.

Thanks for sharing this. I attended UCL a decade ago so it is fascinating to read about its founding, 200 years ago.
