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 focu…

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'…

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 everyo…

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 thi…

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'…

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 …

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 t…

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 com…

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…

"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 fr…

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 uncover…

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 fo…

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 muc…

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 o…

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, ho…

Here's a fun one: http://www.gonegoogle.com/presentation/63a3f4b2b8a546a481447...

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?

Maybe that's because you haven't really tried looking? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lrVO3pPDP4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc80CmGOR9o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqeRvZO8…
