It’s cute how Claude has the beaver-building-dam attitude about how adjusting your gradients to minimize prediction error is actually the greatest and most important thing in the universe
I am 25, my partner and I can’t afford a house, children, or marriage; We’re about to sell my paid-off car because gas is too expensive, and we forego meals because groceries are unaffordable. The senators are talking about bath mats for the senile.

Prevention measures like an $11 bath mat could save Americans tens of thousands of dollars.
If Medicare would send these out to every recipient in America, I’ll bet the investment would pay for itself in under a year.

I am literally a biologist.
