Do you have a source for this? I wouldn’t be surprised if it were supralinear but that feels high to me. Like we have a short segment of road in my town that’s almost exclusively and regularly used by garbage trucks, which are ~10x the weig

This is it, this is the best comment. They’re all a bunch of aspiring lawnmowers, some of them just try to ride whatever the latest wave of popular opinion is to cynically accumulate some social currency.

Plus I think most decent quartz oscillators have a drift measured in single-digit PPM (or less) so even 100ms error over a single sortie would be surprising.

Or to put a more positive spin on it: Next time you screw up at work, just remember it’s not so bad - you could’ve done something much, much more stupid. Ignore what those guys get paid, of course.

I’d think some combination of all of the above, but would love to know how valuable the order flow is from an indexer – it’s gotta be worth way less than from, e.g., Robinhood right?

AFAIK, the ventilation systems are only convoluted in the sense that they use a heat exchanger to minimize the temperature difference with the incoming fresh air. It’s not a hack or afterthought: The idea is that airflow is very important,

This is a good take: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:s6j27rxb3ic2rxw73ixgqv2p/po... If he wanted to avoid losing a billion and a half dollars, he sure went about it oddly.

It was a civil case, so no government/prosecutor, and the jury awarded much more than plaintiffs asked for. EDIT: Also you can disagree with the amount, but the award is literally the jury saying that the plaintiffs “prevailed with bet

Not going to name names, but so far my favorite has been “AI for [somewhat arcane process]”. I had no idea how “AI” could possibly be of use, so clicked through out of curiosity. Hilariously, it boiled down to “we occasionally use an LLM to

“And so I listen. I feign dispassion but I'm not fooling anybody. Somehow they can tell that I care and thank me even as they admit that it isn't my fault, that it isn't my responsibility to listen. I've stood inside ano

I think it may be synthesized – I thought the reverb was a little off, and noticed there was little to no change in timbre when the dynamics changed.

Don’t get me wrong, my background is also pretty CV-heavy, and I don’t expect perfection by any means. But the display itself serves basically no purpose besides looking cool, and it just fails pretty badly at that. Also yeah, it made me ma

YES. Thank you. I rode in a Model Y last year and just could not believe the mistakes it was making. Disappearing and reappearing cars; the semi in front of us was apparently straddling the lane line for a few miles; somehow an early-2000

You can with some charging stations. Well, that’s assuming the card reader works, which is a much less safe assumption than it is with gas pumps.

Don’t think it’s even a year… should be 8-9e6 m^2 per year, or 3-3.5 mi^2 per year.

I think another possibility is if you have skills that an LLM can’t replicate, your value may actually increase.

Also, I think we are quite a ways out from a tool being able to devise a solution to a complex high-level problem without online precedent, which is where I find the most satisfaction anyway. LLMs in particular can be a very fast, surprisin

It’s an interesting question. The shares are likely not transferrable without amending the LLC agreement or whatever. If you want in on Anthropic, though, and you know the FTX estate has to liquidate, then there’s a chance you can get to

The other thing about the “crazy kid with big dreams” thing that really bugs me is that real altruism is putting others above one’s self. Effective Altruism, on the other hand, is roughly the belief that you, personally, should be the savio

I mean, Delta’s certainly not amazing (although, ok, Delta One is awfully nice), but I will still 100% go out of my way to book them over, say, United or American. Like a sibling commenter, I fly PDX so will usually fly Alaska but Delta is

Not sure what I’m missing but your link does not appear to support your claim? “For example is a common phrase used to indicate an example or illustration to support a statement. In writing, it is often abbreviated as e.g. and used to intro

Yeah, this is just debt recapitalization. And it can totally work! But it often (usually?) backfires spectacularly.
