I know the area well since we had a family business around there. It's a few blocks away from a sketchy neighborhood; rapidly gentrifying today, though. At one point it was the intersection of 3 sketchy neighborhoods, but it's bee

I'd say there's a selection bias during big international events. You feel it more than say, NYC or Chicago, because baseline ridership is low in Miami. So when Ultra comes to town there's a larger effect size, IMO.

Inspections for aerospace parts are, in theory, a bit more involved than just 'looking at it.'

I watched this video recently and found it really informative w.r.t. commercial aviation near misses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIiPt1YVkP8 It gives just enough detail around the classification system, rate of inciden

I worked at a startup where the CEO wanted each technical contributor to write a blog post per month, every month. I wrote two internal memos and then quit. Exactly zero got made public. Imagine thinking this is a good use of time for a sta

I'm confused, I used (what I thought was) DirectFile for Massachusetts via MassTaxConnect (totally free). I make more than that threshold. Did I do something wrong? Edit: I understand now. DirectFile is for Federal and MassTax is for S

I've seen generative models for molecular structures produce results that looked non-sensical at first glance; however, when passed along to more experienced medicinal chemists they identified a bit 'creativity' that only a v

password managers are growing, but I'm not sure that 'most' people use them. Maybe 'most' software engineers or techies, but the average person probably has no idea what a password manager is.

You'd think, but VCs are lemmings and the moment you convince one to invest a clock starts ticking that makes thorough diligence difficult for everyone else. Get one person to fall for 'just trust me bro' and the hype train f

I think LLMs provide more utility than further dependence on cars.

Maybe I'm too corporate-pilled, but if the 'taped up heuristics' provide noticeably better performance for real-world problems, then I don't really care that there is a facade layer around the model itself. In fact, I wo

Is it possible they are using some sort of specialized prompting for these? I'm not familiar with how prompting optimization might work in LLM benchmarks.

I mean, I use GPT-4 on the daily as part of my work and it reliably delivers useful information. It's actually the exception for me if it provides garbage or incorrect information about code.

It's worth mentioning the altitude. I climb several grades less at ~3000 meters (Colombia) than near sea level (Chattanooga, New England, etc). I cannot imagine what climbing at 6k meters+ feels like. And these guys are hauling gear wi

It's an arms race. To feel safe, you need a larger car. When you get a larger car, now other people feel unsafe. And so the bloat goes, until the best selling cars in the US are glorified tanks and Ford doesn't even manufacture se

For some reason, searching for conversions can fetch the wrong result for me. But writing the conversion in the search in for Google Chrome (and waiting for the response) is always correct.
