> How do you think right-to-repair intersects with cars? Strongly. You don't own the thing you purchased if you can't legally repair it or legally obtain the knowledge to repair it. At beat you're paying an overpriced leas

This is... not a great take.

I believe it was Strongtowns reporting a few months back that HOAs are generally being driven by developers, the only folks with (a) land to build in bulk; (b) capital, relationships, and experience to get fully through permitting in bulk;

If your buyer is an institution like Carmax or similar, lower. If your buyer is the end owner, probably increase a little bit unless they are surveillancemaxxing.

Much like owning a home without an HOA attached, it is becoming harder and harder to meet this requirement. It also seems to conflict with `right-to-repair` laws if the capability is legally required.

How can this be stopped, from a technical perspective? Can I wrap the comms in a Faraday cage? Obviously it would be better to have this action be illegal. But with legal privacy protections eroding in the US and other countries, it seems p

I'm a practical optimist. I see us as being in the age of engineering for AI -- like the early days of the steam engine. We're going to get a ton of things wrong and impractically implemented. But we don't anticipate the trai

It's a semantic saying that misses what people typically mean when we speak about simultaneous events. Someone sends an email or speaks on a voice call on the other side of world and a receiver still gets that note at the speed of ligh

This seems unnecessarily harsh. My prior experience with science popularizers is that they are typically telling a potential, and either objectively likely or subjectively hoped for, narrative plausibly supported by the evidence. "Scie

And thus $9k of <something they got that $9k worth of value for> is injected into the economy, either assets sold or work performed.

Your claim confuses me. This history of math is replete with people doing it for the love of the game.

I've seen a number of these too. Slimy is the word that comes to mind. Spamgents are going to bring about the dark forest in email above and beyond spam calls.

Again. Weird. Doesn't jive with my experience. One or two in the dozens I know, sure, but not enough to be a stereotype.

Say they do. What then? Will people buy from them? What if we decide not to?

> Job protectionism for elite mathematicians under guise of caring about student development. Huh. Weird. This hasn't been my take of mathematicians at all. The dozens I know are quite humble and dedicated to math and the beauty one

Nah, they only recently got FedRAMP high. The real traffic still can't use it.

Hacker News is genuinely one of the few communities that seems to improve as it ages and grows. Somehow, despite strong concerns about an eternal September, it seems to say "Hey, come in and lets learn together." I just think its

In more accurate assessment rather than assuming no maliciousness nor incompetence, remembering also happens. Unless we fail as a society, the simpler explanation that "OpenAI is training on all data it can and resetting config toggles

This is a great way to think of it, idiotsecant. That flavor profile is known -- it's typical behavioral distribution is somewhat understood (and, often, common failure modes addressed). If JSON breaks about 20% of the time, and that d

Nope, strong disagree. The model is one small part of the process harness; behaviors are usually routable with expected propensities. Unexpected model changes avoiding change management messes with monitoring and observability thresholds. S

I'm working on a practical review implementation on this! Great to hear others are thinking along the same way.

Timely. I'm also looking at this now, actually! We tend to throw benchmark after benchmark at systems, but miss that models are one part of the system. Harnesses are more than models and need tuning too, and in doing so there can be ga

Sweet. This will be a great layer for our hazard prediction engine.
