I don’t think the word lab inherently implies anything about profit motives. Only the focus on frontier research

True. But also -- how do humans do it? There are docs and there's other similar driver code. I wouldn't be surprised if Claude could build new driver code sight-unseen, given the appropriate resources

One thing I noticed: because you're tricking your eyes into thinking they're observing at a different distance, your brain doesn't seem to correctly account for head tilt (my theory of the diagnosis). Anyway, I think you&#x27

It feels like a significantly more likely explanation is that younger, newer companies are going to embrace the younger, newer agile methodology. Younger, newer software companies are also more likely to take on risky projects and fail than

Which office are you specifically talking about? Hochul just got a bunch of funding through: > But the biggest lifeline arrived in April, when Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers agreed to include new and recurring funding for the M.T.

Even so it's a maddeningly complicated system. If you end up in front of a doctor outside of your magic network, you might end up with a sudden several thousand dollar bill instead of $400. Minor mistakes and games can also create odd

Pedestrian and bike deaths are climbing [0]. 44% of New Yorkers are considered rent burdened [1] and sure as fuck can't afford a car in the city. Cars can only be considered a successful mode of transportation from a fairly wealthy and

It's also very across the harbor between Staten Island and Manhattan. Any bridge or tunnel would be multiple times longer than any other bridge or tunnel in the area (and correspondingly expensive).

There's a cause and effect issue here. It requires lot of money to go from an unloved public transit system used only by the poorest individuals to a fast, reliable, clean system that the wealthier classes with options would choose to

That's exactly what Silicon Valley Bank did. While federal bonds are nearly risk free in terms of default, they still suffer from interest rate risk -- that is, they may lose significant value if interest rates rise. In the case of SVB

This is possible. But the the evidence in that link is Tucker Carlson. I don't think we can know whether this is actually happening and we're seeing a lot of speculation about what China could or would do given the power they

There's no bridge to the day from Manhattan* where Camus appeared to be spending time. There is indeed the Verazzano narrows bridge to south Brooklyn. But that would be a pretty far walk

There's no bridge to this day. There's the start of a tunnel on both ends, but not very far along. He likely took a ferry.

Oh duh. Sorry, I could have sworn "Raft" was in the title. All is well here

I'm surprised not to see Raft on the list. I'm pretty new to the world, but it seems like it's become the replicated state-machine of choice.

I was taking the referenced chat conversation in the post to have occurred after the legal hold was put in place. It seems far more devious to explicitly avoid records in places that would otherwise have records when a court has already s

Investors love layoffs thus far. Has this generally not been the case in the past? Or specifically repeated rounds are not taken well?

You can buy an S&P 500 index and short exactly the holdings in the three stocks you want to remove to achieve this. Shorting comes with fees, but it's the closest you can get with normal human amounts of capital

I was reading this as an undetailed description of state available WITHIN the interpreter. Probably there is a table of globals that you can simply check last modification on or something like this. Whether you hit it with eval or some othe

The "proof" given that hedge funds can't beat the market is very cherry-picked. The "hedge" in hedge fund is about hedging systemic risk, typically attempting to remain market-neutral. A perfect hedge-fund should ha

Modeling the price of this product in USD results in a higher price than if you model it out in BTC. This implies that there's a risk free arbitrage opportunity. I have no idea how to exploit it.

The air-gap is specifically to prevent exfiltration of data. The air-gapped systems I have worked on had literally zero checking on software added to the system. But all the USB and media ports had super glue in them. An exploit that can&#x
