I don't have a resource for you (and will probably read whatever you get linked), but one intuitive way to think about it is that VCs/investors (and most of the startup ecosystem) are generally focused on "growth", not "performance".

You can be a stable, profitable, money-making machine with 90+% margins and amazing reviews, but unless you're doubling something (users, engagement, profits, etc) every single year, you go to the back of the potential-investment line.

A high initial valuation might be great for performance relative to other companies (or whatever reasonable metric you want to insert here), but it also makes it way more difficult to show "growth" YOY compared to a lower initial valuation.

What is a peer reviewed summary? Is it like a meta-analysis? But honest questions: how much weight do you think this has? Are the citations supporting it or criticising it?

You are asking for consensus. Do you mean an ultra majority? There's no consensus even on whether climate change is real, only 97% of scientist think so. Could you give percentages of who supports what on the science of IQ.

You said it well.

I actually suspect that many people hate him not in spite of what he has done, but because of it:

They think if they acknowledge what people like Elon Musk have done in their lives, they'd have to loathe themselves, their own choices, values and weaknesses.

Which is, of course, quite silly. Each human being has their own path in life. Comparing yourself to anyone, no matter who, is going to cause misery. But with people like Elon, the threat to the ego is particularly great.

So, hate and schadenfreude are the easy way out. "He, too, makes mistakes. So I'm not that worthless after all".

(The irony being that many of these people say that Elon Musk is self-centered. Though the question he is asking is "What do I believe is greatest good to humanity as a species", whereas they, by their very act of comparing themselves to him, are asking "How can I be greater than and more right than Elon Musk".)
Freedoms can be restricted in many ways that don't involve locking someone in a cage and covering their living expenses.

SwiftUI’s strengths are layout composition, ease of animating, efficient dataflow, value-semantics, ease of changing things up, swapping in and out alternatives while prototyping, interactive hot-reload previews, making custom controls and layouts, and again, the ability to mix and interact with the classic frameworks wherever and whenever needed.

It can be improved in a bunch of ways, but once you’ve bridged the “missing parts” and embraced using it to layout and style and control classic frameworks while handling dataflow, it is just perfect. It is also as efficient as possible or can be made so.

This ignores the other side of the calculus: the political and career benefits of high-profile takedowns. I don't claim this balances across the power spectrum. But it's a far cry from the dystopia OP posits.
Hard disagree with this. The majority don’t care about twitter, the only people who absolutely adore it are journalists and techies which is why it was such a big deal in the news and on forums and everyone in the real world just went about their business. The celebrities are only there for marketing and connecting with the journalists.

Kind of depends what your foundation in political science, international relations, etc., is.

> In the case of mandatory vaccinations, the victims are few whereas the requirement is placed on many.

> In the case of acute mental illness, the victims are many whereas the requirement is placed on few.

No. Mentally ill people harm far fewer people than preventable infectious diseases do. COVID killed over a million people in the US in three years, and seriously injured many, many more. How many deaths can you attribute to mentally ill people, that you'd like to forcibly treat in that time? A few dozen? A few hundred?

And the 'requirement' is far more onerous and invasive in the latter case. If mental illness could be cured with two shots and a day of discomfort, you might have a leg to stand on. It can't be, which is why mandating treatment is rife with abuses, and obvious moral and medical problems.

> The situations are not comparable.

They aren't comparable because the ROI of mandating vaccinations is much better than the ROI of mandating mental health treatment.

I find this a lot in comments from Americans on topics like this, this ignorance of other ways things have been done. You get comments like the parent talking about alternative ways of doing banking, or medical care, or a host of other areas as if they're impossible abstract thought experiments instead of things that have been actually done in other places in the real world.

That's not to say these other ways of doing things are without flaw or above criticism, just that they do in fact exist.
Yes, it is easy. Home buyers look at schools, crime, and proximity to work and amenities.

Clintonville is right next to OSU (100k! students and staff), High St. amenities, and all the parks along the Olentangy River, of which Linden has nothing comparable to those. A crime map of the area clearly demarcates those areas https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/oh/columbus/crime

And schools are definitely better in Clintonville https://www.greatschools.org/ohio/columbus/schools/?gradeLev... https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/oh/columbus/schools

This is what makes people buy homes; hardly a gut feel on "nice neighbors." Most people reading this would easily rather buy in Clintonville if prices were the same, based on just the things I mentioned.
I checked the "walk score" for several of my friends' addresses in Lincoln. They were in the range of 3 to 7; Lincoln is absolutely a car-dependent suburb, as is Wellesley, Newton and the rest of that list (with the exception of the center of Arlington and select parts of Watertown).
> "test a system with our own lives" is silly hyperbole and you know it.

No, I actually believe that, because I have some morals and ethics around introducing dangerous and untested black-box AI into a several-ton machine with no physical consrtaints as to it's location (aka: a moving car), as in I wouldn't do it myself nor use a product like Tesla that was developed in such a shoddy manner.

It's pretty fucking rude to assume you know what's in my head, and I wish I could insult you as hard as you insulted me with that statement, but that would just be tit for tat and HN isn't about that kind of insulting remark.
I don't have any strategies, but I've had designers also want to add unnecessary steps to a gui-driven process. One designer kept arguing about the cognitive load of having a user simply insert their credit card into the reader to signal intent to pay. They wanted a flow where the user would touch the UI to indicate whether they wanted to tap or insert or scan a coupon. There was no reason to do it that way. I don't want to get into the specifics but it's a flow everyone uses every day without thinking and we were adding a new input device. It's not like we were inventing an entirely new system. The designer just wanted to make the work more than it was.
I still don't know why they even asked for that power; the arguments given at the time were predicable clichés that had about as much connection to reality as the average stock photo of a hacker — if I assume they were sincere then they must have been incompetent, and if competent then insincere.

I dont know why you are downvoted but bad faith compliance is absolutely a thing. whats to stop city from sending such a patient to nearby private hospital in the name of 'medical necessity'. who decides who needs to forcibly hospitalized? if you fall into a puddle and somebody calls an ambulance would you rely on the ambulance driver's judgement to decide if you need the $10k ride to hospital?

with healthcare you always have to think about bad faith operators because there is zero transparency and no free market there.

I am specifically talking about your urban/suburbanites that commute daily in their trucks, and use the bed once or twice a year for small home projects.

The rest of the year, a car or SUV would be more than sufficient. The point isn't that these people should not have a truck, the point is they do not need a truck and therefore the factors that influence their purchase are different than professionals that use the truck and bed often.

It's the same with anything - take kitchen knives for example. A professional is going to be looking for something very different than an amateur home cook.

The F-150 Lightning was billed as a jobsite, professional's truck. However, it's much better suited for the other type of truck buyer in the US.

> says my next-door neighbor, who operates a small construction company

He's probably not driving 2+ hours to a worksite out in the middle of no where, hoping there's a charging station in the next-door field.

The Lightning only gets a claimed 230 miles range after all... 320 with the extended battery with an unloaded bed. Your average F-150 boasts 700+ miles range, for comparison.

Glad it works for him - but the Lightning really isn't suited for that type of work.

What does this mean? What do the quotes mean?

This seems to be nearly a tautology; the market rate is what people are willing to pay.
A little more context can make it interesting to others though. I used to struggle to explain embedded software to non-technical people (and even to technical ones!), so instead I started saying "I write software that controls mailing machines" or "I write software for medical instruments." Having a real-world "anchor" that they can relate to helps others understand what you do and if they want to continue a conversation along those lines.
> Sure, semantic text classifiers were possible for a while, but making it accessible changes everything.

Binary classification can actually take you all the way in terms of classification if you are clever with set theory. It's also one of the most traceable & deterministic ways to understand how the natural language is being interpreted at each step.

The amount of performance required to run something like an SVM is laughable compared to what is required to run even baby-tier LLMs. If you can reduce the cost of running models to a <1ms invocation over a few megabytes of black box, you can easily test thousands of these per-user-query. Re-training and iterating is much more enjoyable for these reasons. You also don't need any GPUs for this.

At the end of the day, the quality of your data will be the biggest issue with older techniques. LLMs can bandaid all sorts of weird things that crop up in the real world and aren't present in the training data. SVMs cannot tolerate requests delivered in the format of Shakespeare (if unexpected). In a well-controlled domain, you would probably be able to get away with much cheaper options that are also more flexible.
There's about as much logic in what you're saying as "we lock up criminals, therefore we should require everyone to be vaccinated".

langchain agents are a good starting implementation.

you can build your own prompt and get the ai to work by iself hallucinating tools, which may be cheaper to test out than going back and forth with an agent manager. not as accurate, but you can still extract useful work, i.e. https://i.imgur.com/AE4R3dR.png (gpt-35-turbo is traditionally failing this task completely, prompt get it to work at it)

these prompt all require the model to work off data within the prompt within the first shoot. model require a degree to introspection for that to work.

True/false questions on an exam seem a bit lazy, is that common?
The awareness can also wax and wane within a single individual. A friend of mine has been forcibly hospitalized several times and the trauma inflicted severely impacted his desire to seek treatment during his more aware periods.

When I finally got him to reach out to care providers (since as just a friend, there was no way to setup inpatient care as an intermediary) they made it so difficult for him to enroll that no only did that moment of clarity pass without getting treatment, it also burned up whatever status as an ally that I still had with him.

So while changes to commitment laws absolutely can be part of a solution, they must be paired with deep introspection into the despicable failures of our mental health system to provide appropriate care. Otherwise we risk inflicting additional trauma that will make managing future crises far more difficult.
He made the statement it made no financial sense to buy any other car than a Tesla because of the certainty of robo taxi functionality arriving in 2020. He sold people on the promise that their car would be revenue generating in 2020.

Everyone who bought a Tesla with FSD since 2019 should sue Elon for lost revenues from failing to deliver robo taxi functionality over three years late (and counting!) than originally stated.

Ask HN: OpenAI has already made AGI, but is concerned about releasing it?
The training of GPT-4 was finished in 2021. Ever since then, I think OpenAI made much bigger models on more recent data, but out of fear of public reaction to AGI, the company only released a dumbed down version of it called GPT-4. They don’t even mention what they technically did in their paper.

What fuels this theory is the fact that quickly after the release of GPT-4, tons of projects started using self reflection to boost GPT-4’s capabilities. As an engineer in OpenAI, this looks like a low hanging fruit. I doubt they didn’t already run something like AutoGPT before releasing the model. Maybe they have already achieved AGI and the AGI is recommending them to keep the public in dark.

Not the author, but I've used PG like this in the past. My criteria for selecting a job was (1) the job was not locked and (2) was not in a terminal state. If a job was in the "processing" state and the worker died, that lock would be free and that job would be eligible to get picked up since its not in a terminal state (e.g., done or failed). This can be misleading at times because a job will be marked as processing even though its not.
