Highly recommend Shield. Interned there a few summers ago (through an HN post!) and valued the culture and engineering environment.

As an aside, what is up with the design of clearly vibe-coded websites? You can tell it's AI from intuition, but is there a list of "tells"? Like black background, gradient text, font? Would love to learn more and how to combat

This part of the EO is peculiar: “The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall determine whether “the Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio (or any successor organization)” are complying with the statutory mandate that “no person shall be subjected to discrimination in employment . . . on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.” 47 U.S.C. 397(15), 398(b). In the event of a finding of noncompliance, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall take appropriate corrective action.”

Why is the Secretary of Health and Human Services the one responsible for this?

The startup Physical Intelligence has a domain of π.com, which redirects to/from https://www.xn--1xa.com

How is this character represented in the domain name?

I'd say the 'nitpicking around the edges' is actually incredibly important, but as you also said, people don't care. Yes, all the attention is on the use of Signal, and not the bombing/killing innocent Yemenis to score some political points.

Hi! Looks pretty interesting - few questions/thoughts:

1. Could you talk a bit more about your behavioral-training? If ace-control is trained on behavioral recordings, would it choose the most efficient path for the agent to take to complete a task? I'm guessing humans choose naturally take less-optimal steps.

2. What causes the huge speed increase? I'm guessing there were a lot of optimizations made, especially since this behavioral-training seems very different from vision models. I'm guessing the model is smaller, so it's interesting that accuracy is highest. I'd be interested to see a comparison vs. 4o-mini

3. Would be neat for it to handle instructions offline/locally - like "connect me to wifi" ;)

4. Would be cool if agent could work in the background so I can do something else in the meantime. ;)

thank you for sharing this, as someone going through a rough Q1 too, it's nice to hold this feeling with someone else across the universe as well. Onwards and upwards.

Or at least, I'm having trouble accessing LinkedIn and a few other Microsoft sites right now

is Petal open to having interns this summer and/or fall?

Hi! Are you open to having data science/research engineering/data visualization interns this summer or fall? CCV looks really neat and would love to contribute!

Hi, are you open to having summer/fall interns at Paige? Love the mission and would love to contribute!

Hi, I don't see the intern positions available on the Lever listing page

love this perspective! thank you for sharing your experience across the changing (or not-so-changing!) web landscape!

https://www.usajobs.gov/ is a good resource as well , for example, for a software engineering position: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/590441900
