Tools vs services in my mind. There is no guarantee any provider will continue to do what they are doing for you at the price they are doing it. The object permanence of not having to reinvent the world every time a model gets sunsetted has

Really wish they’d host more models for us normies. My guess is OAI will buy / subsidize them with terms that will close off open models.

Turns out we ended up with paid search, but paid for by who? :D Seems bad.

I think the catch is there's no money to be made in mirror molecules / life... YET! If that changes, say mirror molecules some how extend life or have a therapeutic use then we're like to see the tune change.

Drives are cheap, data is expensive. I work in several labs where I have to give this advice, which some labs are smart enough to make an ersatz backup that we store somewhere (PI's house) as a cheap offsite. Even a partial recovery is

hahah this is all well and good until the 20k+ line a day person is considered the good engineer, based on kpis alone. Your VPs aren't reading any of that. Bonne chance fired senior! I have depicted you as the 100 line a day weakling,

I feel like we've probably spent more for less! Any interaction with the medical industry for less than 1k feels like a steal to me.

Not really sure what you're getting at there, I was a hired gun for about a year, founded a company and am having a great time. Last time I was at a corporate gig, I got a 2+ year old base model MacBook Pro to do a data science. 16gb o

I added sounds: https://github.com/gpurkins/waiting-for-claudot which has become a bit pavlovian. This along with notifications in iTerm is good enough to juggle some claude sessions.

I would have guessed nutrition, we live an in age of vitamins and fortified foods. You can get a lot of zinc and other metals from clams and oysters.

Is it? When you're inside the fence you get some IT cast off from the last guy that was cleaned up and re-spywared from 2-3y ago (sometimes worse!). As a hired gun (data science/engineer), I have an m3 128gb 1tb all sliders to the

Pros buy their own tools. This is why working for yourself is better than working for a corpo, you get to choose your weapon.

Not your problem under the hot potato model. It's not impossible and here's the other thing: it often doesn't matter if things get broken to your megacorp as long as you keep up appearances with clients. Sorry if this sounds

How is the payvider model better for customers? I see why it can reduce costs in a runaway cartel based system, but how does it prevent the two wolf scenario? (It's the same wolf in this scheme.)

I think in the case of Optum + UnitedHealthCare being the Scylla and Charybdis of a healthcare situation, we should break up this style of business. Owning both sides of the equation means there is no competition if you are unlucky enough t

It's about offloading blame. If a server nukes, it's on infra to get a guy to unscrew it. If a service nukes, infra guy says "welp it's down", keeps on clicking. It doesn't matter what happens 6m-2y down the ro

Hi, sorry, this is so disingenuous of a statement I cannot pass by it without commenting. My bona fides are 10y of lab work, specifically in bioenergetics. I can tell you that 5% is a dramatic UNDERESTIMATION on the value of animal models f

Software is a tool to solve a problem, as long as you keep finding problems that you can solve with it, you're likely to get paid to do it. If your crowning achievement is: "I can 100% all leetcode hards" I have bad news for

I had something similar to this happen to me, where some kid was causing trouble during nap time in kindergarten. I was an obsessively good kid, my parents took me everywhere with them and treated me like a peer, within reason. I was well b

With dynamic pricing and other consumer predatory schemes out there, Costco feels like the only one that fights for the consumer. The checkout is lightyears faster than any local supermarket, return policies are good, and I don't feel

That's the edge of what's possible, it's quite common even for researchers to have problems replicating results at the edge. There's sometime implicit knowledge in a technique that either doesn't get written down, o

A reason for the thick air of paranoia is that now, everyone knows someone that has been laid off. Simply so many that it is starting to hit home. Estimates are near 2008, and if you lived through that you know that help is not coming on a

Programming Windows is THE authoritative source on Win32 programming: https://www.charlespetzold.com/books.html It is a fantastic book, I learned everything I know on Win32 from it. Wrote real time scientific software in wi

This also feels like "we're about to build a bunch of datacenters and we cannot meaningfully verify the quality of the concrete at our sites." This enables them to monitor the variables and probably not pay if it's out o

Those 50y mortgages won't pay for themselves! Probably a good first step in life extension, I know a lot of first peeks at this came from hypothermic people. Those lessons are now used in heart surgeries to slow metabolism and limit ce
