It didn't show up on my credit score at all. I also wasn't too concerned about that because (a) I believe medical debts don't affect credit scores for a long time. (b) I believe medical debts are required to have complete era

Just leaving this here for reference: In 2022 I was denied full insurance payment of a routine, preventative echocardiogram at Stanford Healthcare to monitor my heart issues. I was balance billed $5000+. The insurance company was HealthNet.

other than the command line UX of submodules being crap, i think they are actually a good system.

I feel the reverse, actually. Small businesses probably store personal info in a random Excel file on someone's USB drive and are much more likely to have a data leak that actual bad guys can get a hold of. Amazon is a big mega-corp bu

Yep. I definitely don't really like friends handing my residential address to third parties to mail me stuff without my consent. They can mail me stuff directly if they want though.

I mean, Indonesia has 280 million people living in a tropical rainforest climate ... that's 80% of the US population, on a a bunch of tropical islands. Deforestation is an issue, as those 280 million people do need to be fed. Mosquitoe

The only thing I don't like about this is if you're not careful it's very easy to accidentally commit a cleartext file. And then goddamn github doesn't let you delete a commit, you can only commit another commit that und

Personally I think manager/report mismatches are far greater than hiring errors. When A doesn't like B it doesn't mean A or B are necessarily unfit to work at the company, but it generally results in the subordinate being fra

Also not to mention while navigating Google Maps stupidly hides all the business names en route. I want to see every single business along my route, damnit, so that I know where I could possibly go to eat or stop for a rest along the way. T

I hate it when city and street names disappear on Google Maps as you zoom in and out. Sometimes a street or business name only appears at one particular zoom level and not higher or lower. Just show the name of every street damnit. I don&#x

It will also mean 405B models will be uninteresting in 3 to 5 years if we follow the curve we've been on for the past decades.

Exactly, I think the current crop of models is capable of solving a lot of non-first-world problems. Many of them don't need full AGI to solve, especially if we start thinking outside Silicon Valley.

I wish all these guides used better notation. They all use the scariest possible Greek symbols (pi epsilon feta etc) that are hard to make sense of without a degree in anthropology, instead of nicely named variables like programmers use.

The popular vote is not a good indicator. I live in a deep blue state, the fact that my vote doesn't actually influence the electoral college reduces the incentive to go vote, drastically.

Mine still makes a lot of grave mistakes on local roads, stops for overly long at stop signs (long enough to confuse other drivers), and has very poor merging behavior, especially when there are trucks around. It works fine 99% of the time.

A chunk of the output still goes into the transformer input, so the arbitrarily-long path still exists, it just goes through a decoding/encoding step.

I mean, transformer-based LLMs are RNNs, just really really really big ones with very wide inputs that maintain large amounts of context.
