No for China. Apparently Zhang Youxia was one with combat experience in Vietnam but got purged recently.

Kamangar, Wojcicki, Mohan were all CEOs of YouTube

Didn't at least some living generals fight in Vietnam?

Ok now do date math, does the day-of-month accurately jump over the non-existent numbers?

A lot is said in this thread about user preferences for info density, but it is really a lot more than preference. there's also a big component of it that is user productivity focu…

All models hallucinate. Everything in production with a model will too. It is not a "deal breaker"

Yes. I wished we recognized more often that hyperproductivity exists for these engineers with different strengths too. It just looks very different than Bob's twenty feature launch…

I agree, Bob is great. I think scaling a concept is also really really important. We need features but we need scalable frameworks and platforms to support these features. Bob's no…

Yes exactly. I'm not sure whether Bob is a hyper productive engineer, but in any case, Bob is an engineer hyper focused at shipping new stuff out the door quickly. Which is great! …

I bet you Bob was great at launching new concepts but that taking oncall responsibility for crusty old code that he didn't personally write wasn't for him...

Er... I think I'm used to folks putting in a little bit more homework into creating some form of a consensus or alliance around their position before selling it out in the open

I mean, there's some reason for it as EU countries have different laws and regulations, but yes, it's a dumb choice on the publisher's part

With respect to whomever this dude thinks he is, it's egregiously "main character" to frame a policy recommendation for the US in terms of what's important to his personal beliefs.…

Country availability is a policy set up by the app publisher, not a Google policy

Work out how many bowling alleys there are and how many of them are in the market for an upgrade or a fresh install, trying to get to be the king of that hill is a lot of work and …

My guess: 1) New cars are too cheap to make at scale. 2) Old cars are quite unsafe to drive, comparatively (airbags, backup cameras, lane departure alerts, blind angle alerts, etc)…

With respect to bowling alleys, for things like professional shows or food safety it's a bit more than "nobody got fired for buying IBM". The stuff's gotta be able to survive field…

I've worked with similar tools and while they're impressive, it's too often the case that the LLM literally makes up fake but realistic looking data and pretends that it's real. Th…

I agree that a lot of progress in math comes from refactorings and novel concepts that generalize neatly. My point is that those breakthroughs don't happen through refactoring in a…

All this would be way more interesting if it actually helped to demonstrate a novel mathematical fact. Right now it's more like notational play.

The boat seems to go faster with the sails on the wrong side (back winded), that doesn't make a ton of physical sense to me

Besides the legal requirement, the reason these companies go public is often to provide liquidity for early investors or employees. So they do want to have as good of a margin stor…

Terminal? We don't know if worse is yet to come.

They only have the power to mess up dozens of kids' futures each...
