I am curious to see that trolley problem screenshot. I saw another screenshot where ChatGPT was coaxed into justifying gender pay differences by prompting it to generate hypothetical CSV or JSON data. Basically you have to convince modern m

This paper is the product of a failed model of AI safety, in which dedicated safety advocates act as a public ombudsman with an adversarial relationship with their employer. It's baffling to me why anyone thought that would be sustaina

Where can I read about this? I’m not familiar with their history.

Any examples of this being combined with full text search to get a hybrid index?

That would help retrieve documents based on their contents. But you couldn’t query by a description of what kind of link it is. So metaphor is able to translate the language of comments (“here are some thoughtful, technical blog posts about

At big companies, leveling is sold as an objective/descriptive measure of one's skills. An engineer is at level L if and only if they meet the expectations at L. If you aren't at that level, it must be because you lack certai

I made a similar thing for the Lex Friedman podcast. It transcribes the audio and runs it through a summarization model. You can then search the entire corpus to find relevant snippets from episodes: http://lexicon.lol

People have said similar things about me as your Japanese peer. What follows is tough love for myself so take it for what its worth: If no one listens to me when I'm right, that's my problem, not theirs. Everyone has their own inc

I have nothing to add on the synth/music aspect, but thank you for sharing your personal story. The idea of programming your mind to get through tough times really resonated with me.

If lack of peer interaction was your main hangup, I think it has been addressed. The OMSCS Slack workspace has become a kind of 24/7 office hours, study group environment. But there is still little to no interaction with the professors

Based on what the OP wrote, Georgia Tech's OMSCS program would be worthwhile, especially if they are interested in the systems track. The UT Austin program is also modeled on GA Tech's program and looks especially good for its the

I'm also a proud OMSCS alum! But "the opportunity to do some research and publish papers" is certainly not the default. Can you describe how you were able to do that?

You’re not too far away. A simple next step is to directly connect me with an advisor who uses ProjectionLab. I bet financial planning is a competitive market and advisors would be willing to use your tool as a unique selling point, or even

Great work! This might be unpopular among the HN crowd, but I think you can monetize this further by bundling this with an advising service. This idea of FIRE has been spreading beyond techies/Internet nerds and into other highly paid

As a consumer, I’ve had significant difficulty getting my Schwab Equity Award Center balances to sync with apps like Wealthfront. The connection is always buggy and I have to reauthenticate all the time. I wonder if this is the problem. If

You should act on it! Your insight is important and valuable, but it’s just a starting point. Read some startup literature on validating problems. I recommend The Mom Test. You will want to talk to people to understand their existing behav

Hmm... did you happen to work at Google? The concept and the UI seems very familiar.

Strictly speaking about data analysis, tidyverse is way better. Even in adjacent spaces such as plotting and interactive data, tools like Shiny [0] are ahead of the Python ecosystem. R is definitely weird language, not as useful for general

The whole tidyverse set of packages for R. Its a DSL for data analysis that makes heavy use of R macros. The vocabulary and mental model that it has about data transformation is superior to any other analysis package I've used. Pandas&

Yes but looking at Zillow that $2M Bay Area home would go for $250K in Houston TX. In fact, I can't even find homes small enough in Texas to compare some of the houses I see for sale in the Bay...

Just draw the user's attention to this and any derived/estimated values. It's impossible to model this correctly without very specific regional data.

by sthatipamala 5y ago
This is super useful but the results were screwed up for me because of the default house maintenance estimate. For HCOL areas, 2.5% in yearly maintenance is HUGE. I'm planning on buying a $2M house in the SF Bay Area and didn't re

If that was his plan, he picked the entirely wrong company to accomplish it. There are many layers of access control at Google that would make that impossible regardless of how highly placed he is. He'd be better off at a smaller compa
