Viral vector delivery is indeed harder to sell with PopSci, what with movies like "I am Legend".

The model itself is absolutely RLHF'd for safety.

Well it reads them, but (at least for me) it reads them in a way where it filters out the actual key values.

Claude code is actually very good at not reading your keys these days.

What is your effort level?

Was Google Translate millions of lines of hand-rolled code? The Transformer architecture was invented for Google Translate, before it was used to build "LLMs".

Believing government should be big for some things and small for others is not intrinsically hypocrisy.

by fastball 4mo ago
No, I am directly addressing the parent's implication that for things "we care about", small (central) government is somehow bad or a curious choice or hypocrisy. I'd like to make a cleaner point, but the parent itself i

Right, but you didn't answer my question. How are you measuring impact of the DoEd?

by fastball 4mo ago
Not sure I follow. What happened to student attainment after the DoEd was introduced?

Stripe processes like $2T in txns per year – how do they look bigger than that?

Well he did retweet another tweet that kickstarted the convo, very possible he saw that tweet, said to himself "I have some of these to share!" and then proceeded to... do so.

How do you define insignificant? From 1950 to 2000 (50 years), the foreign born percentage of the UK doubled from 4% to 8%. In the 20 years after that, the percentage doubled again to 16%. In the five years since 2020, the percentage has

Seems to be right on time. Hard to justify putting a mobile chip in your laptop until performance has reached a certain threshold.

Is "keeping your mouth shut" dishonesty?

Would you really be surprised to discover that Americans in general might be more inclined to assume that American intentions are better?
137.
by fastball 4mo ago
Americans wanted to beat the Soviets to the moon the first time around, and I don't think it was because they'd "been propagandized into the position that they alone are exceptional".

I think this desire is reasonable, but also completely misses two of the main reasons Tesla did their "everything mediated thru the touch screen" in the first place (besides cost, which TFA mentions). 1. It allows for having &quot

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this more criminal? BAM / new franchisee claims that any consignment deal is null and void after their takeover. If they knowingly possess items that therefore do not belong to them lega

TIL that morality is actually objective, glad we finally cleared that up.

Fairly certain it was actually someone affiliated with corporate who took over the franchise, but it is still a franchisee.

Not sure I follow. Anthropic included benchmarks where GPT 5.5 outperforms Claude 4.8. Sure maybe that is a strategic error, but that doesn't seems to indicate benchmarks can't be trusted (I personally don't trust them, but n

Seems reasonable? Presumably Claude also performs better under the Claude Code harness.

That is actually their SDK / provider agnostic library. The better parallel to this new Cloudflare offering is Vercel Flags[1] (confusing I know) [1] https://vercel.com/docs/flags/vercel-flags

SpaceX has been specifically engineering both the tiles themselves (e.g. manufacturing) and the way that are used on the ship to be much more rapidly repairable than the Shuttle.

The "to vibe code or not to vibe code" holy war is now in full swing.

You can have your cake and eat it too? Sensor fusion isn't free. Lidar requires more power consumption and more onboard compute. Cycles that could be spent on "intelligence" are instead being spent on sensing.

by fastball 5mo ago
This is why I personally feel like Tesla's approach is more likely to "win". The fundamental blocker to self-driving cars is not sensing / sensor fusion, it is intelligence. And the Tesla approach seems much more likely

They are operating without drivers in Austin.

Tesla is one of 3 companies currently operating a driverless taxi service.
