I take this announcement to mean he is leaving. So he's a perfect example

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 a…

That's not an agent, it's an LLM. An agent is an LLM that takes real-world actions

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 theor…

Probably this NYT article on de-anonymized phone data? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/19/opinion/locat...

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 …

Which is to say, the least efficient

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…

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…

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 succ…

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 correspon…

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 t…

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 signi…

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…

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 fa…

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 th…

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 …

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 so…

What are the cheaper options?

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-neut…
