Austin, Texas is a great example for toll lanes of existing roads! MoPac and 183 North are exactly this model Agree that it's a more accurate metaphor than just "toll roads". My understanding is that Cintra exited the Austin

So it was unintentional behavior in a beta release? Yeah that definitely does feel like something we should be getting up in arms about

Australia is one of the top toll roading countries. Sydney had most tolled roads world record for awhile not sure who holds it now. I don’t know whether it is the state or private companies who operate them. Since you live in the area, and

I do find it amusing when I see these LinkedIn fodder posts saying “I left [Meta/Google/OtherGiantCorp] because the company I joined 10 years ago doesn’t hold the same values anymore” as if these companies weren’t already fucked u

This is pretty close to how toll roads work tbh

I don't understand why this is being presented as an either/or thing. The moat is actually the harness AND the model, and one of the reasons that Claude works so well is because the model is actually trained with its usage in that

I’ve been running an SMB trending mid market out of gitlab for the greater part of a year with no issues. One of my favorite benefits is that ci runners are colocated with the self hosted instance on k8s so suddenly a whole huge slew of shi

Of course, people actually good at security are rare and in high demand. This is totally aligned with OP’s statement. IMO you shouldn’t even be thinking of going into cybersecurity straight out of college. There’s just too much you have to

I personally as a general rule don’t hire people who work in cybersecurity if they were not traditional developers first. The chances of you understanding “cybersecurity” without also understanding how general software works is extremely lo

Indeed, but circa 2019 the max taxable amount that the value of the home can rise any given year is capped in Texas. So if you are in that situation yes eventually the taxes will “catch up” and you will pay more every year, but that catch u

“A ton” is carrying a lot of unverified weight here. Do you have demonstrable evidence that move rates are higher in Texas AND that it’s a result of this AND that people hit this with an actual interesting frequency?

True, but in my experience grandparent is a bit full of it. Yes property taxes are higher, but what op leaves out is that the values of homes are like for like 2-3x more expensive in California. So in the end I would probably pay around the

It’s the linting argument all over again. I don’t give a shit what the style is. I give a shit that it’s consistent. Form whatever opinion you want about how you want to format your code, structure commit messages etc. I don’t really care,

My anecdata from my example demonstrates it’s not the case. I hit the security guardrail, then start a new prompt, asking it to do literally the exact same thing in a different way and without the lead up context, and it happily does it

by SOLAR_FIELDS 5mo ago
Not directly, as it comes in as a not charged error but the weighted generation path used until you hit the guardrail is basically wasted tokens, so yes, indirectly. If I hit a guardrail and rewind I’ve found the training will still be bias

One interesting takeaway is the low score on Anthropic models from this benchmark. It’s not because of capability, it’s because Anthropic’s guardrails prevented it from solving the problem. I noticed with each model release Anthropic constr

Limited sample size but I've not worked anywhere in the US that didn't have a 90 day carve out for terminating people from date of hire, MegaCorp or SMB. Of course it's not cost effective, or efficient, but as the article poi

I was being facetious, sorry if that wasn’t clear. That’s just how Regular Employment works. You don’t even need to tell the employee the implications of being on the 90 day plan. You tell them up front what the expectations are for the rol

Instead of having “provisional employment”, could we instead just have 30/60/90 day plans and evaluate the performance of the engineer and fire them if they don’t meet that criteria at the 90 day mark?
