New comment by kgwgk in "AWS Bedrock to require sharing data with Anthropic for Mythos and future models"

If you were just repeating the commenter’s point about « choosing to pay 10X to 20X because you trust AWS more than Anthropic » what was not the point?

What is the point then of a submission about how you will be required to share data with Anthropic? I’d say that the point is precisely that it’s an issue when you don’t trust them as much as Amazon.

What’s “new” is indeed the “new” bit in cleaning up new projects.

You may not have heard of TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) but they give you certainty even if inflation is uncertain.

Currently you get 2.75% yield in real terms for the 30 year maturity: https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/US30YTIP

> would expect to see a withdrawal of funds from the market by anyone following equal weight funds

Would you see funds reducing their equity exposure and going into cash or what? Which funds would do that? Trackers wouldn’t do that so where would you see that withdrawal of funds?

> New entrant means you have to pull money out of existing stocks to re-allocate to the new entrant to maintain equal weights.

If you mean someone tracking an equal weight index the weights would be essentially the same after the inclusion of SPCX replacing some other constituent. Except for the stock being replaced, of course.

>> S&P 500 is not the most popular US equities benchmark for pension funds. Russell is the preferred provider

> Where are you getting this from?

At least it seems correct for a subset that may or may not be representative: “This report intends to provide insights into the overall and asset class benchmarks selected by the 50 largest U.S. public defined benefit plans. [.. ] the Russell 3000 index was most frequently cited to measure U.S. equity performance.”

You say you didn’t see it happening and I’m asking what would you have seen if you had seen it. What would have been different? Where would have you seen this pretrading that you didn’t see? Who is that someone that would have been selling those shares but didn’t?

It’s true that S&P 500 is not the most popular US equities benchmark for pension funds. Russell is the preferred provider - and they will include SpaceX 5 days after the IPO.

Again, what would it have looked like? What does “other components trade down in anticipation” mean when SPCX doesn’t even exist?

And if you had seen it what would have that pricing looked like?

Not sure about “dumber” - it may be better than SOTA models at identifying which days of the week contain the letter “d”.

People are routinely prevented from being where they are not supposed to be. Whether you put the baggage pick-up point in a publicly accessible area or on a restricted area is a design choice.

That's fine. Other people may not want to pay 300x more and will rather make do with last year's SOTA.

Maybe you meant "For coding I always want to go with the best model"?

It doesn't. Your initial assumption that the heat capacity is a thing that doesn't depend on temperature did (because it may apply to ideal gases as opposed to water where it just doesn't stay constant as you noticed later).
