Curious to hear more about the grave censorship that ChatGPT and Claude are under. Specifically where non-western models are not.

Excited to be able to share this with everyone today! A lot of hard work has gone into getting M3 to 1.0, so this represents a major milestone. In getting to this point, we've focused quite a bit on stability and resilency, performance

Sigh, don't perpetuate this. Being an underrepresented candidate may (or may not) help you with getting your foot in the door for an interview, but no one is getting hired if they're unqualified.

Loosely related, how do you pull this off? Given that interviews effectively take up whole days, I feel like it'd be really tough for me to routinely work four day weeks and everyone at the office be OK with it.

To properly prepare for these interviews you have to invest quite a bit of time. At this point in my life (late 20s), my time is one of my most valuable resources. So, the last thing I want to do is spend that time effectively preparing f

The openings also aren't very visible (or I'm not looking in the right places, which is entirely possible). I'm surveying the job market after shutting down my own business, and I've seen very few openings from companies that are working o

Barely. Check out http://www.quakeservers.net/ for server lists. Seeing this thread actually inspired me to get Quake running on my Mac. Just left a free-for-all deathmatch that I won handily using a trackpad. Still got it :).

Ah, sorry, I wasn't clear in my response. I didn't mean to imply that adding a comma to the original sentence in question was the correct way to write that sentence. I was simply trying to state that without the Oxford comma, according to

From purely a grammatical standpoint, it does. If one was trying to indicate that George was, in fact, a policeman, then the grammatically correct thing to do would be to add a comma after 'policeman' because it is a parenthetical phrase (

I think you could do that just as easily without the lifestyle tourism. Volunteering at a shelter/soup kitchen is something that comes to mind.

I see that as a false dichotomy. There are many other options between staying in the ivory tower and playing homeless.

I don't want to be insensitive, but some of these individuals' behavior smacks of privilege. When I think about the fact that someone whose family "owns a major medevac company" is taking up space at a shelter or panhandling on the street,

"Stupid college kids" are going to drink in excess regardless. More importantly, though, I don't think price is an issue that's stopping a substantial amount of college students from getting bombed. Unless something has changed drastically

This is definitely a good idea. I think a lot of talented groups struggle with finding an idea because the two easiest means of doing so -- solving a personal pain point or uncovering an opportunity in your current domain/job -- are bearin

Anyone up for organizing one out here in the Bay Area for the same weekend (or the near future, if Nov. 12th is too last minute)? I have an iPhone app I've been trying to finish for a while now, but real life keeps getting in the way. This

OK, you are correct. Though I still think the statement, "any state where nonhispanic whites are a minority (e.g., CA), they are typically an underrepresented minority" is very much hyperbole, which was the point I was trying to make.

by nbroyal 15y ago
Non-hispanic Whites are not a minority in California [1]. And even if they were, I'd be very interested in seeing any statistics that show them as underrepresented in any context of significance (i.e. not prison). [1] http://en.wikipedia.

I think this is a bit disingenuous. I highly doubt Michigan's unions are fighting him tooth and nail on plans to lower taxes and ease the burden for smaller companies. They are, however, fighting him on the ability to deploy to cities in f

Strangely enough, this is actually true. One of my ex-girlfriends used to use mayo as a conditioner every now and then. Although, I still don't buy mayo as a bedroom lubricant...

I desperately want to drop cable, but I'm a huge sports fan which means no viable alternative to ESPN really hurts. Anyone have any suggestions?

This type of comment has always bothered me. I'll admit it, I don't really understand what the guy has against spell check. However, is it really THAT big of a deal that this guy's work may contain some misspellings? Furthermore, neither

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'm in the same boat. Does anyone have any recommendations for podcasts or audiobooks that discuss/teach various concepts in computer science or software development without being impossible to follo

Just a quick note, the exact command is ':TOhtml' (lowercase h). Tripped me up the first time I tried to run the command.
