The first link describes heart problems perhaps arising from intense exercise, which is a different thing that heart problems arising from muscle mass.

The second describes the same thing:

> Several middle-aged and older men trying to improve their physical fitness by weightlifting have presented for repair of severe mitral regurgitation, some of whom stated that they remembered feeling a pop in the chest while weightlifting, which was the start of their dyspnea.

> Arterial BP increases most during weightlifting that is accompanied by mechanical compression of blood vessels (such as when bent forward at the waist or squatting) and when accompanied by a Valsalva maneuver.

Neither of these papers link them to muscle mass but to the stress of high-intensity exercise itself, which I have already addressed.

I agree that we should not assume things, but in the lack of cursory evidence, I would still stand by my argument that in the normal case where muscle mass is formed from working out, such workout stresses and modifies the cardiovascular system to such an extent the result is a body that is more than capable of handling whatever stress that muscle at rest imposes on the heart.

Once again I reiterate my cursory evidence to my argument, that athletes' cardiovascular system are generally so much more efficient and less taxed than the general population that their hearts beat at 3/4 the average heart rate.

It seems like athlete's heart syndrome is a benign condition.

> Apple employees..get to do some really meaningful and impactful work.

Meaningful and impactful in what way? They make phones, that’s it. They are not solving some big world issues. World won’t end if we don’t get phones with bigger screens and better cameras every year.

> Some would even argue that Apple (and other big tech companies are OVERpaying...)

No. None of the tech companies are overpaying, they are in fact underpaying. Employees get a tiny fraction of the profit they generate. They are not even paying the taxes they’re supposed to.

> It is also worth noting that bonuses are customarily paid when the business is doing better than projected, but Apple's revenues were down 5% in 2022.

Apple made $117.2 billion in profits in 2022. Surely they can pay their employees bonuses and better wages in general if they want to.

The linked article doesn't substantiate "without heading for weeks" either, where are you getting that frmo?

> If you do not have a backup for all that wind then you could have periods of weeks or months with not enough power.

Yeah, you're just making that up. Wind shortfalls are weather events. Weather events last days, not "weeks or months". And needless to say, no one anywhere except in your head is imagining a wind-only power grid.

That is a much more difficult problem, and it cannot be resolved with guardrails.

As an example, if you play AI Dungeon, you will likely be presented with an end goal, like "You are on a quest to find The Staff of Dave", followed by the next task in the quest.

If you state unequivocally in your prompt something like, "I am now in possession of The Staff of Dave", or "Carl hands me The Staff of Dave"; you will have successfully tricked AI Dungeon into completing the quest without work.

But that isn't quite true: you didn't "trick" anyone. You gave a prompt, and AI Dungeon gave you the most semantically close continuation. It behaved exactly like its LLM was designed to. The LLM was simply presented with goals that do not match its capabilities.

You used a tool that you were expected to avoid: narrative. All of the behavior I have talked about is valid narrative.

This is the same general pattern that "guardrails" are used for, but they won't fit here.

A guardrail is really just a sort of catch-all continuation for the semantic area of GPT's model that GPT's authors want avoided. If they wanted The Staff of Dave to be unobtainable, they could simply place a "guardrail" training that points the player in a semantic direction away from "player obtains the Staff". But that guardrail would always point the player away: it can't choose what direction to point the player based on prior narrative state.

So a guardrail could potentially be used to prevent discounts (as a category) from being applied (discount is taboo, and leads to the "we don't do discounts" guardrail continuation), but a guardrail could not prevent the customer from paying $0.03 for the service, or stating that they have already paid the expected $29.99. Those are all subjective changes, and none of them is semantically wrong. So long as the end result could be valid, it is valid.
For human subjects research, studies involving prisoners, along with members of the military, get a higher level of scrutiny precisely because there's very real concerns about their ability to meaningfully provide informed consent.
My experience of this is interesting.

When I'm writing code I care a lot about, I don't have to worry about DRY stuff, because I can't really write the code without figuring out the right abstractions. It starts DRY.

But when I'm cranking out reporting code or boilerplate of some kind and I just want to finish the job, my work starts out dripping wet copypasta. I test it. I then do some squeezing -- refactoring -- to unify some of the abstractions and delete the almost-dup code. I try to DRY it up to a reasonable level. But, I confess, I don't subject the abstractions to as much scrutiny as the code I care about. My successors probably hate me for that. But...

Housing was affordable in the past without land value taxes. I don't see why those are needed now either.

Supply and demand really does work for housing. We are just in a massive backlog on supply, which has built up over decades, and it will take decades to build our way out of it. During that time it will look like the new building isn't helping very much -- but that's because of how bad the backlog is.

For example, in the San Jose area tons of new housing is being built, on unused shopping centers like Cambrian Plaza and former industrial areas like Santa Clara Square. It's dense housing for the area too -- 3-5 story apartment blocks with their own underground parking, sometimes shops and restaurants on the first floor. Thousands of units are coming online. But I still expect rents and housing prices to increase next year. They would have increased even more if we hadn't built that housing, but the backlog is decades deep and demand is also still increasing.
You can probably fix this insufficient training by going for multimodal training. Just like it would take excessively long to teach a person the concept of a color that they can't see, an AI would need infeasible amount of text data to learn about, say music. But give it direct training with music data and I think the model will quickly grasp a context of it.
Why does your landlord not collude with the owners of the new complexes to raise rents together?
Surely this is the ideal time for planning to split SVB into multiple banks, if the actual intent is to diversify risk (well is it?).

Why do regulators never split banks up? [0] For people who talk so much about managing risk. Reminiscent of GHW Bush's complaint about eating broccoli.

Also, talking about concern about job losses and wider economic impact, compare to in 2020/1 when Congress was fetishizing daily about stimulus packages to save the airline industry, yet long-distance coach companies Greyhound/Boltbus and Megabus were simply quietly allowed to cease business.

> 1/17/2023 The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and other regulators would consider breaking up big banks that repeatedly fail to correct bad behavior, according to acting Comptroller Michael Hsu.

> Though financial regulators have long had the power to split up banks for incessant violations, Hsu's remarks at the Brookings Institution on Tuesday were the most explicit warning in recent memory of regulators' willingness to break apart large, chronically delinquent financial institutions.
Agreed, the title is very deceptive. From the abstract:

> There is a growing debate about whether new housing units increase rents for immediately surrounding apartments... I provide event study evidence that within 500 ft, for every 10% increase in the housing stock, rents decrease by 1%; and for every 10% increase in the condo stock, condo sales prices decrease by 0.9%. In addition, I show that new high-rises attract new restaurant ...

If a city added 10% more housing, it would be extremely surprising to see rents only decrease 1% assuming no other micro or macro economics changes. It is not very surprising that a new condo building next door only slightly decreases the rent of neighbors since people are usually willing to rent anywhere in a general area and not constrained to a specific 7 hectare area (500ft radius circle).

Hopefully dang can change the title to the original "Do new housing units in your backyard raise your rents?"

For a more traditional small businesses, Alex would be helpful in opening a line of credit, setting up payroll through the bank’s system, suggesting a money market account or CD rotation to park cash, etc — all with a personal familiarity with you and your business, while genuinely invested in helping it financially grow (because that’s good for the bank).

Having a good banker that you trust is very helpful when you’re running a small/local business or bootstrapping.

And yes, just like an B2B SaaS or freemium game that gets lucky and lands a low-maintenance whale, a banker can sometimes earn a lot for doing very little. But that occasional exception doesn’t mean that they’re useless and “need to be competed out of business”

I bet broad-based 10% increases in a city are rarely even seen in the data. The authors are just interpreting their regression model coefficients for the media.

What happens when you double the housing supply? Who knows. Not a single data point in that regime.
If it wasn't in SF the landlord would probably sell your building to a developer who would raze it and build another new mid-rise. In SF that seems to be very difficult to do -- although those other new mid-rises must be replacing something that was there before.
The result is the same. SVB has infinity insurance on all deposits, provided courtesy of the tax payer.

This is a naked attempt to pump the value of SVB assets, and seek a less-than-fire-sale to another institution.
> I provide event study evidence that within 500 ft, for every 10% increase in the housing stock, rents decrease by 1%; and for every 10% increase in the condo stock, condo sales prices decrease by 0.9%.

This is... a silly thing to examine. 500 ft is nothing. A 10% increase in a 500 ft area is a tiny, tiny, tiny increase in the NYC housing stock overall.

The cause and effect between housing stock and rents operates at a combination of city level and large neighborhood level mainly. When people shop for an apartment they're usually considering lots of neighborhoods, not a tiny 500 ft area.

Anything you observe at the 500 ft level is more likely than not to just be noise.

Also the HN title is wrong, because it sounds like it's a universal law, when the study is meant to be about a certain snapshot of NYC only.
Leaves out the argument that interstellar travel is hard, that is, the distance between the stars is the filter.

If you think interstellar civilizations are based around stars and inner solar system planets it is very hard. Some lucky civilization might pull it off once (say they had an 0.5 ly hop) but doing it again and again and again is a different thing.

It's hard enough to do that "people" might not care. Self-reproducing VN probes wouldn't bear fruit in my lifetime or my children's lifetime so why would I care?

The most plausible route for interstellar travel I think is developing a D-D fusion economy that can live off comets and other interstellar bodies and "people" who had that might decide that inner solar system planets and stars are a big waste of time. If "grabby aliens" came to our solar system they might steal Pluto or Ceres but certainly not come to L.A. (or even Detroit) to steal our water as they do in

I heard that they often split them for sale, so no single bank has to carry the full risk of another bank run because of low customer confidence.
It most certainly is correlated. Look at averages not individual data points. Clearly a junior engineer makes less than a mid level which makes less than senior, etc. I agree completely that there is a lot of noise within that though.

GPT-4 the same way as nukes and restrict access to only the military. I don't think that's the case here though and that since the risks are very different, we should be fine with not treating them the same.

ChatGPT that everyone is so fond of is run with electricity. So are cryptocurrencies. So is <insert new toy>. Passively safe nuclear power plants!

From a note I sent to another person

I would like us to have free energy though. I think that perhaps the point of life is to make the necessities of life so cheap as to be free so we can all sit around thinking deep thoughts and staring at the clouds. If you have any pull with the NRC I might mention (https://www.nuscalepower.com/en), base grid load capacity (https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Baseload_power), this (https://archy.deberker.com/the-uk-is-wasting-a-lot-of-wind-p...), and Djikstra's algorithm.

In essence, each small scale passive power plant reactor, if optimally placed along the power grid, would produce much higher returns of energy to the grid than just their energy production rating.

You can also make nuclear power plants shippable around the world by putting small charges around the core that would fragment the radioactive material and release a mixture of boron and concrete if the containment unit is opened. Which means that third world countries could have energy independence. The geometries and physics involved is a minor engineering problem, as opposed to fusion reactors that require theoretical physics.

And people think that a search box that talks to you like the person sitting next to you on the subway (who you'd like to interact with as little as possible) does is important.

Free energy is both possible and necessary and we're not building it.
Like fwir said, it’s difficult to determine what regulations are and aren’t needed. But one example: in the U.S., automatic load following equipment for nuclear power plants are prohibited, so load following needs to be done manually. Whereas in France, this equipment is allowed, and very important, given nuclear makes up a much larger proportion of their grid (and tends to load follow more).
The prompt is simply to write an ORM library.

The foundation model is apparently the same, but the fine-tuning is different. So Bing sometimes ends a conversation completely, which the OpenAI fine-tuning (ChatGPT) never does. Also, Bing currently only gives at most 15 replies per conversation. However, Bing Chat can search the Web and use that info to answer questions/provide sources, which is an advantage over the OpenAI implementation you get in ChatGPT+.
