“Usually”, “not intentionally” does not exactly convey your own sense of confidence that it’s not happening. That just stood out to me. As someone who knows how all this is unfolding because I’ve been part of implementing it, I agree, there

Are you aware you are saying that on HN of YC, the home of such wonderful projects as Flock?

What you or your politician friends may not understand is that “good people stopping bad things” is a very easily manipulated group, because it often is emotion based and reactionary. It is how America has been dismembered, little by little

That’s what’s so pernicious about this manipulative tactic; you’re protecting the children, after all, right? The real motivation behind this effort is not protecting children (the signal for that is all over the place), it’s about interrup

My bet is on that there will be some kind of interaction of the metal catenary in the environment and maybe causing friction in the cables and shorts, which no one thought of since 1890 when they chose wood due for its insulating properties

Or maybe if they do trade, their trades have to be on a month long delay. The transparency should take out any corruption on the duration and it will incentivize their investment on long term gains and allow the public to also participate a

Even though it may change with technological developments, are you aware that EVs are the heaviest vehicles on the market, by somewhere around 140% the weight of ICE vehicle equivalents?

It seems to be a reasonable comparison since that is the primary/differentiating characteristic of the model. It’s really common to also and seemingly only ever see the comparison of closed weight/proprietary models in a way that

You are mistaken to think that zealots can be reasoned with. They have been conditioned to react upon anything “Russia” like a Pavlovian cue, a command of the trained animal. They are a herd that moves as a herd, based on cues of lead anima

You’re not crazy and don’t let your wife say that to you, since it’s clearly ignorance or possibly rationalization to justify her positions during that time. People will rationalize immensely just to avoid having to admit they were wrong in

Are you familiar with what the understanding is that differentiates/causes (very) sensitive vs (very) resilient kids, and whether and how that can be modulated in children or even the effects of it overcome in adults? I believe this is

This is not exactly an unbiased forum to discuss this matter since Flock is a YC backed program, but what do you think will happen in short order? Maybe that car thieves will simply slap on fake license plates to get out of the area? What y

Is it just a coincidence that the recent action against archive.today and all its other TLDs is also based out of France? It also at least tangentially involves state action against an element outside of state control, i.e., being able to k

You bring up a bigger issue that also really cannot even be discussed openly here, that politics is inherently about warfare among groups, psychological warfare when it is not physical warfare. He who has qualitative control over the minds

I just don’t get the sense that we are at the model T stage yet. This feels more like the Cugnot Steamer era, not the Model-T era.

What is the “normal” way? Is that defined in a technical specification? Did you provide the definition/description of what you mean by “normal”? I would not have expected a language model to perform well on what sounds like a computer
