Actually people recommend products they like to friends all the time. For example, here's you recommending a random windows feature[1]. [1] https://x.com/JarekLupinski/status/1303766512541589504

They're unrelated. Groq = chip company, Grok = model by x.ai.

How so? Covid was a problem until we had a vaccine. I would describe covid as a good example of where the social/political solutions basically failed.

IMO, if you haven’t been getting a significant productivity boost from LLMs in a technical field, it’s because you lack the basic brain plasticity to adapt to new tools, or feel so psychologically threatened by change that you act like you

GPU efficiency numbers in a real production environment are similar.

Your home setup is much less efficient than production inference in a data center. Open source implementation of SDXL-Lightning runs at 12 images a second on TPU v5e-8, which uses ~2kW at full load. That’s 170J or about 1/400th the pho

The extensions display an estimate based on how many of the extension's users disliked the video. Youtube doesn't expose an API for getting the exact dislike count, except to the creator of the video. https://github.com

It fell out of favor because it lost the density advantage in newer processes.

To save a couple clicks, here’s the main context linked in the article: “Per X, the MrBeast video is technically not an undisclosed ad. There is a pre-roll ad for Shopify in the video, which is labeled as such. X boosts posts containing pre

All of the top 3 cities are places with a low official population and a large working population - Eglin's official pop is 2.8k, but has 80k workers. It's the "most Reddit addicted" city because of an obvious statistical

No, I’m saying pay for new openings is flat. I just went through a job search, the numbers in the level.fyi data match my own job search experience looking at current openings.

Not even remotely true. Levels.fyi says SWE salaries are basically flat over the last year, which matches my experience. https://www.levels.fyi/2023/

In the news articles I’ve read, it says the vehicle was kept in place at the request of the police. Can you explain why that was the wrong thing to do? https://archive.ph/kXOoM

Probably because one word replies come across as low effort. IMO your second reply is great.

Deep learning-based recommendation models are very popular in industry. Not sure what “proof” you’re referring to, but it’s definitely not the case that random forests outperform DL based approaches in general.

by grandmczeb 3y ago
Maybe I’m not understanding the idea - if you’re saying we should punish people for demonstrated unsafe behavior (e.g seatbelt laws) then I agree, but that’s not really related to licensing requirements. Or is the idea that you’d just not i

A cool concept, but probably decades away from breaking ground, if ever - not exactly scalable. Perhaps trying to solve traffic deaths by building a bunch of new cities is not a practical solution?

Street design broadly construed. I don’t think stricter licensing requirements drove changes in attitudes towards seatbelts or airbags.
26.
by grandmczeb 3y ago
Stricter licensing requirements get talked about a lot, but as far as I know the actual evidence that they improve driver safety is pretty mixed (with some exceptions, e.g. vision tests for people over 85.) IMO it’s more likely things like

Worth stating that “something right” in this case is adopting life-saving technologies like seatbelts and airbags, exactly the kind of thing the original article is arguing against.

by grandmczeb 3y ago
Sounds great, so when do you think those new cities will be ready?

by grandmczeb 3y ago
That would be a very weird assumption for someone who works in the industry, as the OP claims.

How did you come up with 5-10%?
