Yes, especially interview questions that include a stupid "real life example" that is usually irrelevant to the question.

Easily half of the crap I learn from over 2 yrs ago is completely worthless. Mental models of code bases that I no longer work on as one example.

They are overbearing, this UK-esque "do you have a loisence for that" governance, is exactly why we have a permitting crisis in SF.

I mean, it quite literally is a slippery slope. Its only a fallacy if the causal indicators aren't so obvious.

This is the conclusion I'm at too, working on a relatively new codebase. Our rule is that every generated test must be human reviewed, otherwise its an autodelete.

It's pretty amazing considering the product is literally calling openai with a prompt.

The ORM auto migration tools are a 100% a DX feature. Obviously any serious application will have complicated migrations that outgrow the generated sql; doesn't mean its not a nice to have feature for quick iteration.

My chip friends constantly complain about Qualcomm owning a bunch of FPGA related patents that stifle any meaningful FPGA progress.

I think is pretty reasonable for people to be suspicious of spraying aerosols into the atmosphere. What's the effect of breathing this stuff in long term? Can you even construct an effective experiment around here? Do you know what the

CC on github just looks like Codex. I see your point, but it seems like all the big players basically have a CLI agent and most of them think that its just an implementation detail so they dont expose it.

As far as I can tell, terminal agents are inferior to hosted agents in sandboxed/imaged environments when it comes to concurrent execution and far inferior to assisted ide in terms of UX so what exactly is the point?. The "UI nice

I think the current valuations imply at least 2 magnitudes of improvement over existing functionality.

All of this game of thrones is going to create an amazing documentary if AI capabilities taper off and valuations vaporize.

Some arbitraries are better than other arbitraries. For bitcoin, you'd need 50% of supply to arbitrarily make decisions which is a pretty high threshold, and for all its faults, there hasn't been any egregious soft forks on bitcoi

This blog post basically reads as, AI doesn't always adhere to my leftist values.

That part is completely opaque to the user. It's at best a dark pattern, but really it just takes advantage of a certain group of people who depend on ridesharing for primary income. And btw, the no one really knows the exact mechanism

Except its not a real bidding because because you as a loyal employee don't have access to the "high value" rides at all.

You're basically penalized for treating uber/lyft as a real job and having loyalty, ie. getting paid less for the same amount of work. You don't think that's unfair?

by wagwang 1y ago
Uber/lyft pricing models are extremely unfair. They "purchase" marginal rides and marginal driver hours using bonuses and meaning those bonuses go towards riders and drivers who are the most price sensitive, like a mom who on

1. is that even in the airline's control? 2. sure but the baseline needs to be against other forms of transit? What's the vacancy rate in a greyhound or amtrak 3. I guess? It's unclear to me if a merger is bad though? What if

Aren't flights at an inflation adjusted all time low and most airlines operating at a razor margin? Seems like the market doing their job. Also price discrimination sounds a lot worse than what it really is? Idk, I don't like that

You're falling for the is ought fallacy. Moral views are completely orthogonal to intelligence.

Re; Section 3.1 This is a question on how human do we want AI's to act, which I think could just be set thru system prompts. Section 3.2 I think this is an argument saying that AI's are fundamentally missing certain sensory inputs

I went to a cafe in kyoto near the bamboo forest where it was literally an old ladies house and in the moment, being there conjured deep resentment within me towards urban planners and zoning.

The big problem is that human values are similar to neural network weights that can't be clearly defined into true/false axioms like "human life is inherently valuable" and "murder is wrong". The easiest axiom
