So you're saying, you don't mind having cancer?

The biggest shift, in my mind, is that there will no lower bar for morality. Companies goals do not need to be aligned with society to trade for labour. The only lever we have is to block new data centers from being built.

This is like saying cancer is perfectly normal.

That’s really cool. I think you nailed it, English isn’t the best way to encode my intentions in code. A pseudo language is likely much more efficient.

For me, LLMs tend to engage the 'language center' that drains me faster than the 'problem solving center' I usually reserve for writing code. We really need a different abstraction the bridges the gap between human and p

Seems like Localsend doesn't currently work reliably with Tailscale enabled. This is a bummer. Hope they also allow sending files between clients on the same tailnet, that'll be super neat.

Super cool, lock-in is very real. We are overflowing with Duplo and Lego sets because I just don't want to deal with another system. There are, of course, other models on Thingiverse, Printables, etc., but knowing these are properly de

I think it’s not right to blame teachers, because you cannot control that right? Agree it’s far too hard to find aspirational teachers, but they are naturally in demand and will be snatched up by well paying positions, like private schools.

It’s human nature really, and we see this in our jobs, instead of using LLMs to learn to do our jobs better, we replace work with automation. It’s going to be quite hard to motivate students to learn now that they know answering can be auto

Was about the mention this, -CC has been working perfectly for me

Anyone has done mesh WiFi (ideally triband) using off the shelf parts and Linux? I have an Orbi AX system which works reliably, but now I want to upgrade the radio to WiFi 7 and that means I need to upgrade all the hardware. Hoping to move

That distinction is obviously quite apparently from the context. I’m using atomic clock to be consistent with what these radio clocks are marketed as.

by tanvach 7mo ago
That’s a very good point but the transmission power is extremely weak and won’t propagate more than 1m.

Related - we have an atomic Seiko wall clock expecting to have the time automatically adjusted by the WWVB LF atomic clock broadcast. Turns out, the signal is very weak where we now live. Manually setting the time on these atomic clocks is

Long computing embedded in confusing texts should be sufficient.

It might work for crude actions, but my take is that touch signal is nuanced and won't get transmitted via mechanical linkage well. Love to see it prototyped though.

Before, I was humbled, learned and mastered. Now I feel frustrated and numb. I’m not an AI skeptic, but more and more I feel the joy has been sucked out of doing anything that AI has touched.

Indeed :) Ah yes I agree! That was awful to everyone (and to analyze!).

During the pandemic, we had a natural experiment at my previous company. Our org had started an org wise auto ‘meeting starts 5 minute past’ while others had the traditional meetings start on the hour. Also conveniently, we also had the cal

People looking into this a little too much, looks to me like random walk. You should try reinitiating the trial (or have multiple running) and see if the ranking is robust.

Coincidentally we were on the Robotaxi during the black out (didn’t know about it, we were going to Japan town from the Mission). Noticed that it navigated through the non-working traffic lights fine, treated it like a stop sign junction. O

A plug for tidyverse adjacent data.table - really should be combined someday :)

A little meaningless with one-shot, should try recreating a few times per model and see what the variance looks like.

If you really care, I would suggest helping with documenting how the process should work for others to reference going forward.

by tanvach 11mo ago
How so? Can you describe more of your experience if you don't mind sharing?
28.
by tanvach 11mo ago
I find it more straight forward to just model the failure rate with the variables directly, and look metrics like AUC for out of sample data.

by tanvach 11mo ago
Agreed, these type of analyses benefit from grouping by cohort years. Standard practice in analytics.
