One aspect that intrigues me is it's well positioned to take advantage of solar power. I think solar capacity is growing faster than any state and it's behind only California now? I live in Chicago and just got finished with a 10F

What about "o1 Pro mode". Is that just o1 but with more reasoning time, like this new o3-mini's different amount of reasoning options?

This is a good point, though at the time of my comment it's already attracted several "that's racist" type responses. I think generally you might be getting at Simpson's Paradox[0] where an aggregated trend is in on

All right, off topic but I've seen this a bunch lately and the term just really irritates my brain for some reason. What's its origin? "[adverb] based" just feels so wrong to me. Shouldn't that be a noun: "Evid

It's interesting to me that this is in Phoenix. Does that mean good things for the city? I thought they were in a desert and running out of water, and not well positioned for climate change. On the other hand, maybe with more solar pan

I love these ideas! I've been thinking about the "fully relational" language ever since I worked with some product folks and marketers at my start up 15 years ago who "couldn't code" but were wizards at cooking

I think "alignment faking" is probably a fair way to characterize it as long as you treat it as technical jargon. Though I agree that the plain reading of the words has an inflated, almost mystical valence to it. I'm not a pr

If you're using a build.gradle file then you probably won't see any benefit to this implicit class, yes. But it's useful for little one-off scripts, where you just go `$ java foo.java` from the command line.

I've been using Java 21 for Advent of Code this year, and I've been surprised at how much less clunky it is than I remember. `var` and `record`'s are especially nice for how I like to code. It's still not perfect, but it

I appreciate that there's no mention of "AI" on the page. :) Can this tool support mTLS? That's a feature of webhooks that's sometimes a little hard to use right.

That's kind of going in a different direction. The big picture is that LLMs have until this point gotten better and better from larger datasets alone. See "The Bitter Lesson". But now we're running out of datasets and so

It seems like it would be a neat, happening place to be. But how dangerous would it be to live and work there? Is there the potential for the rockets to blow up and destroy the city or anything like that? Working at SpaceX that may just be

You don't necessarily need to believe the AI is a human for it to tickle the ingrained social instincts you're looking for. For example, I'm quite aware that AI's are just tools, and yet I still feel a strong need to be

I think direct indexing with TLH is a useful tool particularly when you are looking to diversity out of a large existing holding (say a bunch of RSUs or something from a public company you've worked at for a while). The direct indexing

That's the opposite of how PPP usually works. Purchasing Power Parity means that although you earn much less in China, things also cost less, so your cost of living and relative wealth are the same. So PPP usually is a boost to the p

Congrats to everyone involved! LiveView is one of those things that almost seems like it was "discovered" rather than invented. Like, in the early days Phoenix was just a "better rails", but it had this neat little &quot

Do you have a source? I've only ever seen it defined the traditional way. Besides, you can increase the money supply and not get inflation (defined the usual way). Inflation happens when the money supply increases more than the econo

I'll never understand this "corporate greed" theory of inflation. Are corporations not usually trying to maximize profits? Are prices not normally as high as the market will bear? The interesting question is not "did the
