The more free market an industry/service, the more efficient the outcome.

Why do people readily accept this for everything else, but don't see the reality in regards to healthcare?


Assuming we take the statement "more free market equals more efficient outcome" as always and absolutely true, it raises the question: Are the healthcare-related needs of a society aligned with the most efficient outcome that a free market can deliver? I don't think they necessarily are.

Could you please define "efficient"?

and also "free market"?

oh, and just for fun, also define "outcome"


1) Some people have more expensive problems than others. The average person can't realistically budget for big things.

2) The "efficient" option is to let the big problems die.


the more competitive, orderly, and fair market, the more efficient the outcome

that is _not_ synonymous with "absent of regulation."

market failures exist, believe it or not.


Gemini 3 had a great 24 hour SOTA run for coding


Gemini is still the best oracle/planner by a mile. It's just a bad agent. Give it a bundle of your repo and get it to plan your changes, then hand it off to codex to implement.


Good idea!

I found Gemini have horribly slow for anything


The VAST majority of this growth will continue to be in healthcare and/or social security (mostly healthcare though).

Until our healthcare markets become more free market, this growth in spending will accelerate as boomers age.


The question to ask is why supply of energy hasn't kept up with demand. Regulations (primarily in Democratic states) is most likely the answer. When you use government incentives to pick winners and losers with energy sources, it throws the entire energy market out of sync.


Here's a link to the full interview Bezos had yesterday

- ChatGPT still lags for me daily and I'm on a PRO subscription. - SORA is usable but extremely slow and constrained. - Image gen same thing, but getting a bit quicker and less constrained.

This is with agents not having taken off yet, and the vast portion of the world economy not interacting with LLM Ai? Agents alone will require ungodly amounts of compute.

Bullish


> ChatGPT still lags for me daily

What exactly are you referring to? Their UI seems to have troubles to load the list of conversations since like a week back, otherwise it seems fine? I mean, UX could be a lot better, but I'm experiencing anything I'd describe as "lag".


Outputting code mostly, especially compared to Gemini and Grok Fast. I'm using normal thinking mode, not extended or PRO.


>list of conversations

How many bytes could that entire list possibly be? Surely less than your average webpage ad.


Yeah, especially considering it's only fetching ~10 items at a time :) I'm guessing some index somewhere is wrong or something, as I probably have a couple of conversations through the years of using it almost daily...


Super cool and useful, thank you. Was just doing some database mapping so this is perfect!


Cool article. The real solution to this is have huge arrays in the desert and move the energy north, which is 100% possible.


There are a lot of possible things. The question is which is the easiest to get financing for.


I don't think that addresses the thing that the article is actually about...


I mean what's the worst case scenario here, EA starts making even worse games? Maybe going private will give them the freedom to get more creative.


DraftKings integration so your kid can gamble away all your money!


Damn I'd love to play a Zelda game with that level of NPC detail and style.


You can, that game is Wind Waker

Besides the visual style being very similar, there's an island in the game with about the same amount of NPCs, and they all have their own lives and many give you chores like this one.
