Actually people recommend products they like to friends all the time. For example, here's you recommending a random windows feature[1].

They're unrelated. Groq = chip company, Grok = model by x.ai.

All of those are things you can do with TPUs

How so? Covid was a problem until we had a vaccine. I would describe covid as a good example of where the social/political solutions basically failed.

What’s the biggest problem we’ve solved in the last 30 years through addressing our social and political deficiencies?

So what is iRobot’s bankruptcy evidence of?

IMO, if you haven’t been getting a significant productivity boost from LLMs in a technical field, it’s because you lack the basic brain plasticity to adapt to new tools, or feel so psychologically threatened by change that you act like you do.

GPU efficiency numbers in a real production environment are similar.

Your home setup is much less efficient than production inference in a data center. Open source implementation of SDXL-Lightning runs at 12 images a second on TPU v5e-8, which uses ~2kW at full load. That’s 170J or about 1/400th the phone charge.

This is an extremely obvious fake.

Here’s a description of the actual manifesto from the NYT:

> The 262-word handwritten manifesto that the police found on Luigi Mangione begins with the writer appearing to take responsibility for the murder, according to a senior law enforcement official who saw the document. It notes that as UnitedHealthcare’s market capitalization has grown, American life expectancy has not. “To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” he wrote. The note condemns companies that “continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.”

> The handwritten manifesto found on Mangione contained the passages “These parasites had it coming” and “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done,” according to a senior law enforcement official who saw the document.

> Unbelievably saddened by the loss of my dear friend @SusanWojcicki after two years of living with cancer. She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it’s hard to imagine the world without her. She was an incredible person, leader and friend who had a tremendous impact on the world and I’m one of countless Googlers who is better for knowing her. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts with her family. RIP Susan.

It fell out of favor because it lost the density advantage in newer processes.

To save a couple clicks, here’s the main context linked in the article:

“Per X, the MrBeast video is technically not an undisclosed ad. There is a pre-roll ad for Shopify in the video, which is labeled as such. X boosts posts containing pre-roll ads, but because the post itself is not the ad, it doesn't have the label.”

All of the top 3 cities are places with a low official population and a large working population - Eglin's official pop is 2.8k, but has 80k workers. It's the "most Reddit addicted" city because of an obvious statistical artifact.

No, I’m saying pay for new openings is flat. I just went through a job search, the numbers in the level.fyi data match my own job search experience looking at current openings.

Not even remotely true. Levels.fyi says SWE salaries are basically flat over the last year, which matches my experience.

In the news articles I’ve read, it says the vehicle was kept in place at the request of the police. Can you explain why that was the wrong thing to do?

Probably because one word replies come across as low effort. IMO your second reply is great.

Deep learning-based recommendation models are very popular in industry. Not sure what “proof” you’re referring to, but it’s definitely not the case that random forests outperform DL based approaches in general.

> instituting a more intensive licensing regime (where people have to demonstrate not just driving ability but proficiency in safe driving) can change the cultural baseline around how drivers behave on our streets, our highways, etc.

As I mentioned in my original post, the evidence that implementing stricter licensing requirements improves driver accident rates is mixed (really, mostly negative but not exclusively.) Personally, it seems much harder to impact broad cultural norms compared to a specific driver’s behavior, so I consider that to be pretty strong evidence against things working as stated. The parallel to seatbelt laws also seems dubious because a) it’s not really clear to me that seatbelt laws are the specific reason for the cultural shift and b) they were accompanied by enforcement, which tends to be a much stronger way to change behavior. A more analogues policy in my mind would be one that punishes drivers for a specific, dangerous, behavior - e.g. DUI laws, which have a lot of evidence of working. But that’s a completely different type of policy from what you’re suggesting.

That said, it’s not totally implausible that stricter licensing could improve things - part of the reason it gets brought up a lot is that people find it very intuitive. But in practice it doesn’t actually seem to work that way.

Maybe I’m not understanding the idea - if you’re saying we should punish people for demonstrated unsafe behavior (e.g seatbelt laws) then I agree, but that’s not really related to licensing requirements. Or is the idea that you’d just not issue licenses to people who are generally risk-seeking? If so, that doesn’t seem like something you could assess without a socially unconscionable false positive rate (and probably wouldn’t be very effective in changing cultural norms IMO.) Or something else?

A cool concept, but probably decades away from breaking ground, if ever - not exactly scalable. Perhaps trying to solve traffic deaths by building a bunch of new cities is not a practical solution?

Street design broadly construed.

I don’t think stricter licensing requirements drove changes in attitudes towards seatbelts or airbags.

Stricter licensing requirements get talked about a lot, but as far as I know the actual evidence that they improve driver safety is pretty mixed (with some exceptions, e.g. vision tests for people over 85.)

IMO it’s more likely things like street design and cultural attitudes towards risk are responsible for most of the difference.

Worth stating that “something right” in this case is adopting life-saving technologies like seatbelts and airbags, exactly the kind of thing the original article is arguing against.

> Vaccines save lives, but kill some people too.

Sounds great, so when do you think those new cities will be ready?

That would be a very weird assumption for someone who works in the industry, as the OP claims.
