I'm not saying you did and I do think the OP is written with LLM help, but these sentences did make my AI sense tingle: "I just want it to be clear that some of us can pick up Claudisms within just a couple of sentences with no effort. A Claude-generated sentence, in isolation, may not ring any alarm bells. A few of them in a row, however, that's a load-bearing smoking gun right there." The OTT mixed metaphor is part of the problem but I think the sensational tone of the whole post is also part of it

I still pretty much stand by what I said; if my comments are ringing alarm bells then you're not really picking up on the right signals.


Painting in such broad strokes, the German system also sounds like the ACA, but it's really not: the high level description really erases key differences.

In Germany there is nothing like bronze/silver/gold plans. All statutory health insurance covers what is required to be covered by regulations, with just a few bonus services, at the regulated tariff plus just a few percentage points of variation. So the 90% of people in Germany who have statutory health insurance [1] have essentially the same coverage. The tariff is a percentage of income (up to a cap), not a flat fee.

[1] not everyone is required to have statutory health insurance, for example employees above an income threshold and self-employed people


How do you propose to use AI to grow fruit trees faster?


Not grow faster, but to reduce the R&D effort in increasing yield quality and quantity, similar to what this guy[0] did in his garage. And to directly optimize the production itself, like automatically managing FarmBots[1] at the family and community level. Entire plant food pipeline becomes essentially free, and similar can be done re animal food as well.

"I've opposed Wikipedia for twenty years. Now I'm banned for life." would also be a correct headline, and maybe a more honest one.


Well done! I had a somewhat similar experience twenty years ago in the informatics olympiads. I had no idea about the whole world of algorithms, complexity, etc. until a friend recommended to do the first round of our national informatics olympiad. The first round was pretty simple programming, the second round was a whole new world.

By the way "Ng" is Andrew Ng's surname, it's not NG with a capital G.


Thanks, I'll correct it! Here the exams aren't practical until the very end.


Btw a visa is a document allowing entry into a country, while VISA is a word mark used by Visa, inc. for their payment cards and network. I think you're referring to the travel document, but since the context also includes payment networks, I'm not 100% sure.


It's about contracts and official government documents, so it definitely includes payment networks, but it's certainly not limited to that.


The point GP is making, is that everyday mathematics is not done in Lean, but in a language that's more like JavaScript, where equals doesn't always mean equals, + and • mean whatever seems convenient at the time, and objects sometimes change type without notice.


Emojis, however, are a Japanese invention (related but different from emoticons).

BTW, even the word emoji (from Japanese e = picture, moji = character) is unrelated to the word emoticon.


It seems TM SGNL also works when you're messaging with somebody using the genuine Signal app. They aren't gonna make a group chat with your archive bot to message you, and they might not be pleased when you add them to such a group chat.


Maybe but if that’s their opinion, I don’t think they’d be pleased to know that you are archiving their chats in any case. I guess it would depend on who the user base is.


NetHack does have ghost files (where you find the levels previous characters died on, including their ghost and their possibly-cursed loot). It's definitely not the same kind of progression as in modern rogue-lites, but it can be a boost to pick up the equipment you found on a previous run.


Do note that enemies can also pick up that old equipment and use it against you. I lost a promising character during the last November NetHack Tournament [1] because a gnome picked up a wand of fire from someone’s grave and blasted me with it.

Yeah that’s another difference. When you play NetHack online [2] [3] you run into the ghosts and graves of other players, not just your own previous characters. I have run into levels online with the ghosts of 3 different people who were all killed by various dangerous monsters that kept accumulating more powerful equipment from each victim. It can be quite ridiculous!
