I believe you are projecting your personal misgivings onto the argument actually being made. May be better to write your own rebuttal instead?

I fear you may overestimate the median benefit of government oversight.

I resonate with every example given - setting jumpers by hand, sound card interrupts, autoexec.bat. I'm also a happy user of LLMs and agents. This article captured for me what is lost - which, as others point out, has long since been lost, if ever had, in other fields (e.g. modern cars vs. the Model T). I wouldn't go back, but I can still have a sense of loss.

Beautiful writing.

It's a hard word to translate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos has a good overview.

$64B trailing twelve months free cash flow. (https://s206.q4cdn.com/479360582/files/doc_financials/2026/q...)

Strong disagree that there is no other side of the question from the employee's perspective. Personally, I don't want to be collectively represented in my work by any group other than myself.

In Nevada?

The text reads LLM-ish as well.

In response to sibling: > It's still open source because you can fork it if you really want

Yes, that's exactly what it means!

Not disagreeing, but it's also worth something to know, and say, that you are in charge of Stonehenge.

This reads like hyperbole:

The brine byproduct wreaks havoc on sea life when it’s deposited back into the ocean by raising the salt level and lowering oxygen in the water.

Managing return of concentrated brine should be entirely tractable in the literal ocean.

Reads to me like a fascinating and relevant distinction.

I assume this post was fully human-written, but ironically, there's something quite LLM-ishly overconfident about this assertion: > They're also confidently wrong about every decision that matters.

Every decision that matters? Some, yes. Is the author only noticing the decisions that go wrong?

Not that it necessarily applies here, but as a heuristic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect

This reads very AI. Pangram [0] agrees [1].

[0] Not perfect, but I think as good evidence as any: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.15654 [1] https://www.pangram.com/history/44cd07d3-ba94-4331-8c7f-a626...

I've heard this often enough from English speakers from India that I think it is accepted grammar in that region.

That will apply to only a smaller percentage, even in early days. It's very typical for one human operator to remotely oversee many robots.

I wish academic writing were not so needlessly dense. E.g.:

The bridge is a multiscalar and multilayered notion...

Pairs well with also-on-the-front-page https://app.oravys.com/blog/mercor-breach-2026

There are definite problems with the American system, but what is considered unaffordable healthcare there is lavish compared to much of the world.

Disappointing article. As another commenter mentioned, the very last sentence of the article reveals a potentially positive impact on batting average, which is extremely relevant to how well a bat works! But this seems to be ignored by the conclusion of both the researchers and the article, which focuses on hitting power.

OP is aiming to help a quite common problem. Curious: how many others have you met with as spare of an email inbox as yours?

Ditto. Worked perfectly and nice UI. Great work!

Our school district uses this same math software. If one wished to design an experience to instill a hatred of mathematics into children, it would be a pretty solid approach.

We've informed teachers, nicely but firmly, that we will not be doing any of it at home. Some of them have pushed back, but barring any real consequence, I am not going to subject anyone to this counterproductive torment.

One of the challenges with trying to achieve IRL human-level latency is that we rely on nonverbal cues for face-to-face turn-taking. See e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001002772...

Cognition certainly declines with age at the population level. See e.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4906299/.

I suspect that name recognition for PRISM as a program is not high at the population level.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Ironically given the topic, the very first sentence on the page ("The size of your plate can influence how much food you eat.") is based on observational research that has not replicated in controlled studies.

An anecdote: someone close to me had written some of the diplomatic cables Snowden leaked. After the leak they (and others) received stern warnings to not access stories about the leaks on their unclassified systems, because those systems were not authorized to access the classified information (in the New York Times).
