@cullenroche Yeah, I guess this varies a lot by person. I've got three kids entering college, and tuition is completely unpredictable because of how random scholarship levels seem to be. Mortgage feels very unpredictable because I don't know how long I'll want to work before downsizing.
@cullenroche The variance of liability magnitude and timing feels higher to me than that of the market. Maybe the kid doesn't marry, maybe you're forced into retirement - or never quit, maybe a relative needs support. If you plan for high enough variance, it just becomes a total return plan.
@cullenroche Please do! I absolutely don't understand liability matching for anything but the most ideal notion of liabilities. Maybe with a 20 and done government job and a mandate that your kids must attend the local state university at full tuition?
@lymanstoneky Karpathy's autoresearch is not a tool to produce academic research. It's a small AI system that does experiments autonomously to improve AI.
@KSoltisAnderson Yeah, this guy had a bad take. If the bots are trained on human conversations, don't you want them preferring the polite ones for input when generating output for you?
@acesounderglass I recently worked for Peraton Labs (a defense contractor) nearby. They mostly do DARPA contracts now but are the Bellcore offshoot of Bell Labs. They still have employees who have been there since the breakup!
@EricTopol Thank you - this was interesting and helpful. I take some issue with casting shade at protein bars as "ultraprocessed food," a confounded category not helpful except as rhetoric. Also it's not clear how much of the (non-leucine) harm might just be red meat / meat preservatives.
@LinchZhang My guess: higher turnover of individuals would increase the rate of adaptation, and there would be a (species-specific) tradeoff with the amount older individuals are able to aid the fitness of the young.
@conorsen Maybe this is the counter cyclical policy tool that people don't mind. Once the economy cools, you're just a few executive orders away from putting your foot on the gas.
