It sounds like you know what the problem with your AI workflow is? Have you tried using an agent? (sorry somewhat snarky but… come on)

I actually claim something even stronger, which is it’s what’s in your heart that really determines if you’re American :)

> inflation adjustment: Inflation.hs provides a Pandoc Markdown plugin which allows automatic inflation adjusting of dollar amounts, presenting the nominal amount & a current real amount, with a syntax like [$5]($1980).

Car insurance companies in CA actually lose money on the state, if that makes you feel better: https://money.com/car-insurance-policies-problems-california...

There are laws that prevent them from charging enough to even break-even on the policies.

Are you sure about that?

The internet is a series of tubes! You can get a dedicated gigabit sized tube but it’ll cost 1-2 orders of magnitude more.

Yes! You are the noisy neighbor getting lucky that your neighbors aren’t also noisy!

That's like... the whole point? You have some kind of hardware-based measured boot thing that can provide a cryptographic attestation that the code it's running is the same as the code that's been reviewed by an independent auditor. If the auditor confirms that the data isn't being stored, just processed and thrown away, that's almost as good as on-device compute for 99.999% of users. (On-device compute can also be backdoored, so you have to trust this even in the case that everything is local.)

The presentation was fairly detail-light so I don't know if this is actually what they're doing, but it's nice to see some effort in this direction.

E: I roughly agree with this comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40638740) later down the thread -- what exactly the auditors are verifying is the key important bit.

> * Specify the desired length of the output

You should do this if you ask a human to write something too, given no other context. Splitting things up with delimiters helps humans understand text. The desired length of the output is also very clearly useful information.

> * Ask the model to adopt a persona

This is maybe a bit more of a stretch but if you hired a writer to write for you, you would tell them who you are so they can have some context right? That’s basically what this is.
