Thanks! Glad that you like it:)

We haven't trained or fine-tuned on neither of USMLE or MedQA. We use several LLMs in our system, and honestly I don't think there is any single thing that I can point to which is different to how other people do it. I guess it's a combination of many small improvements.

Sorry for the vague answer. We are thinking about publishing a report at some point.

Sure, but you’re in the 99.9+ percentile for height. The vast majority of people do not have human height as a reason for selecting a large car.
Sybil resistance is important in any sort of UBI system that preserves privacy, which may or may not be important. I like the idea of a privacy preserving UBI, and feel like it's definitely a lot more equitable than having it based on existing passports, or bank account numbers, or something like that.

Part of the challenge is that everyone wants a large vehicle at the same time, i.e, for the long weekend road trip.

The average full use of a large vehicle is low, but peak usage is quite high.
Myke Hurley said that reading text on a simulated display with an Apple Vision Pro looked retina-quality to him, and I trust him enough that I'll give Apple's claims the benefit of the doubt for now.
Doesn't fully help? Could actually be more difficult if you let the driver do the TCP ack. And you are likely going to back yourself into a situation where you need TCP between the application and the driver... Remember, at that point, it is just a message pass, as well.

There is a good article somewhere about how you have to do end to end for any of this to really work.

I took from the study that, the rate of outages is going up for the entire country. The total is trending up.

Its just that Texas is also increasing, but at same rate as everyone else.

>We would appreciate any feedback on what information you find most important in a car listing

The only things that matter in a listing (to me) are:

- make

- model

- color(s)

- condition (per KBB (or similar) standards)

- number of miles

- size of engine

- number of seats (if there's a variation within a certain model)

- type of transmission and drive train (auto/stick and fwd/rwd/awd/4x4)

- price

- any/all extra fees the dealer is going to add (beyond state-/locality-mandated taxes/registration/etc)

- any known issues (CarFax report, previous owner maintenance history (if single owner and/or always serviced at the same dealer), etc)

- link to manufacturer specs for the given model

Beyond that ... I need to actually test drive a vehicle before deciding to buy it: I filter on make(s), model(s), mileage, and price

Once I have my list, I go check each one that's fitting those initial criteria before making a final Buy/No-Buy decision
It's subtler than that. You are not the customer.
How good does RabbitMQ do in terms of availability nowadays? Because one thing a message queue should offer is high availability - otherwie it loses one of it's most compelling benefits.
I wrote, illustrated and self-published a book about mental health, psychedelics, sex and meaning in life. It's meant as an anti-dote to self-help (while diving into those topics) and a memoir of a strange part of my life where I had to rebuild my mental health from scratch.

I was incredibly proud to have copies in my hand, and it's sold around 100 copies, which is more than the 5 I expected.

At 6' 8" (in freedom units) you're taller than average and most "lay down" cars aren't going to work. You need something where you sit upright (like a minivan/SUV).

Nothing really prevents a "taller car" besides some worry about tip-over, but they don't really exist.

By lay down I mean if your legs are NOT bent at the knee, you're gonna have a hard time.
I fear that you (and others in this thread) may be underestimating the size of the driver/passenger seat of an American make's sedan (e.g. Ford, Chevy, etc... IOW, the same people who make these trucks.)

You can already rent a truck any time you want from Home Depot, Lowe's, and UHaul.

But you have to travel to the location and go through all the paperwork hassle every time you do the rental, which means either going there with another adult or leaving your car unattended in a parking lot until you do what you need to do.
> bad results with anything niche and unusual

In a way, this is exactly the problem. Product discovery for consumer items is pretty much solved. However, product discovery for niche industrial or scientific items is a difficult area. If you have tons of $$$, it's easy to find representatives for the big suppliers. However, for each of these large suppliers, there are 10 or 100 smaller or even "cottage industry" suppliers. The problem is how you find them in the first place, and how to gain confidence in the quality of what they offer.
I'm not sure what you mean. In California, at least, they do. But different states have different laws w.r.t. emission standards.

WarpStream is Kafka protocol compatible, so we do support topic-partitions and consumer groups. We do not expose support for transactions or idempotent producing today, but the internals of the system support that and we will probably work on the idempotent producer sometime in the next month, with transactions coming shortly after, depending on demand from the Developer Preview users.
Morally culpable, but also defensible since you’re defending yourself from others in large cars.

We are likely reaching a point where it is becoming absurd, to have a huge, 4,000lbs vehicle carrying one person most of the time. Feels like an arm escalation, I need a bigger and heavier vehicle so I feel safer.

Not sure what is the best way to bring some sense to this trend. Regulation could put some boundaries I guess. Clearly there is little incentives for car manufacturers to go small & light.

If that trend keeps going, I could see some cities banning cars in some streets (e.g. only bikes or pedestrians) as having foot traffic close to car traffic would become too dangerous.

Cute but a Chevy Cruze is 27" shorter than a 57 Chevy. Cars are shrinking.
To the extent that large SUVs were a thing in the early 2000s, perhaps, but the US isn't bigger than twenty years ago, yet our cars are.

Emissions standards changed in a way that benefits larger vehicles, and the size of cars exploded.

We use gentoo because a linux system without problems is boring.
The question for me is, what is safer for my family? A huge proportion of the cars I see day to day are full-size SUVs like Tahoes, Yukons, and that QX80 monstrosity from Infiniti. There's a decent chance if I'm involved in an accident it will be with one of those cars.

You can't seriously tell someone they have a moral obligation to buy a smaller vehicle when doing so puts their family and themselves at increased harm.

If you want to ban vehicles above a certain weight or a certain displacement, fine let's talk about that. But until that happens I'm not going to intentionally make my kids less safe to reduce some wishy-washy definition of my "moral culpability" for accidents and deaths I've played no part in.

I find that -ffast-math is not so bad, so long as I develop and test with it from the beginning. It's much like any of the other more aggressive optimizations in that sense.

> This is especially true for someone internet famous like Julia Evans - she has so many followers, what does it matter to her?

She's human, just like everyone else. It matters precisely because of "internet fame": you become an incessant target. Anonymous randos love to take down people who are more famous than them. From the article: "I realize this section makes me sound like a Perfectly Logical Person who does not get upset by negative public criticism, I promise this is not at all the case and I have 100000 feelings about everything that happens on the internet and get upset all the time."

> But I guarantee it mattered to the ones she blocked. It probably really hurt them, even if they wouldn't admit it.

I guarantee it doesn't. In my long experience of blocking people on social media, I can't recall the blocked person ever being sad or repentant. They're mostly self-righteous or vindictive.
You are literally less than 1 percentile of the US male height population. Are you saying all cars should be built to your comfort standards?
Most of my designs include a message queue, and I would not use Kafka unless there was a strong need.

Right now my preference varies a bit depending on the rest of the tech stack, but for the most part I use Redis or RabbitMQ.

If the stack is already hard dependent on AWS or another cloud, then SQS or whatever is also fine.

I also wouldn't overlook just using your existing DB (like postgres)! At low and even medium scale this can be totally fine, and also comes with lots of benefits like single-source-of-truth, normal relational DB constraints, transaction wrapping, and more. One of the highest scale apps I've worked on uses Postgres for queueing. It's take a number of optimizations over the years as performance starts to fall due to scale, but it's doable.

You certainly can what the hell. Nowhere is it guaranteed that moral necessities align with comfort or safety.

Yea learning how to use the core API directly should be the focus for any engineer. Lots of frameworks built on top of LLMs are being made very quickly each with their own philosophy. It's a good time to stay with the fundamentals as much as possible until the dust settles. Learning langchain will take you less than a day if you have fundamentals don't worry about not staying up to date.

Now's the time to learn how LLMs work from the ground up not being a framework chaser. (watch Karpathy's GPT from scratch video and read through huggingface's LLM documentation from RLHF to PEFT fine-tuning)

Funnily enough, actual seating capacity maxes out in the minivan class and all the bloated SUVs out there walk that metric back.

SUVs are purely about status and, for many people I've asked, a feeling of greater security at high speed on secondary roads from being higher off the ground. It's pretty problematic that people seek out a vehicle specifically so they can falsely feel more secure driving in a less-safe manner.
Agreed. I can’t see the benefit of all this analysis at this point. Why not just wait until the v1 is out and you can try it yourself?

Prologue to an Anti-Therapeutic, Anti-Affirmation Movement
I've lived in country where symmetric Ethernet connection is norm for ~15 years (yes, 15 years ago it was something like 10/10 Mbit/s and now it is 100/100 or even more Mbit/s) and white, unfiltered, static IPv4 costs about +$2/month as option.

Yes, it is for big city, but even small ones have something comparable, maybe slower like "3 years ago in big city".

Typical ISP firewall for these IPs are "Port 25 is closed". And it's all.

One problem - typically you can not get good PTR record, your back-resolve will be something like "ip12-45-67.pool34.isp.tld", which is pity for SMTP, but irrelevant for all other protocols.

Unfortunately, this country has started bloody war, and now I'm living in civilized 1-st world country with crappy DOCSIS connection and without static IP :(
No, they mean actually having the vehicle available when you ask for it.
They do, but they're not as common. I can really only think of higher end vehicles - BMW 7/i7, Audi A7/A8, Lexus LS, etc, but I'm sure I'm missing some.

Some midsized cars of today have grown to the size a full-sized car from 25 years ago. For example, a BMW 3 series is roughly the size of a 5 series from 1998 (185.9" vs 188"). A 5 series from today is the size of the 7 series from 1998 (195.8" vs 196.2").

I believe you may have misread them. I read this as saying they have been through several episodes of mass hysteria ( which is eminently believable, and many of us have in fact lived through several such episodes in our lifetimes, even if we aren't that old ;) ).
I think that while the first revision won't be terribly practical as full monitor replacement, it will probably be the biggest step towards that to date — something you might pull out when you want a canvas unmitigated by physical size constraints that's entirely free of the distracting and fiddly scroll/pan/zoom interactions.

It could be pretty incredible for travel, where you're typically stuck with a small 10"-14" screen. For my day to day work in IDEs for example I'd take a virtual ~24" 4k screen over a real 13" one any day.

"If You Want a Car This Heavy, You Should Pay Through the Nose"
https://slate.com/business/2023/01/electric-cars-hummer-ev-t...
In some states it is. The total price for registering a car in Colorado takes the weight of the vehicle into account (along with the price and the age).

I remember having a minor panic when registering my car at the DMV and hearing the person in front of me paying well over $1000 for the year. Turns out they were registering a brand-new, very large (and heavy) pickup truck.
Compared to other cars, sure but still negligible compared to semis and other _heavy_ machinery
Try and think what else the government has. Police, military? All those are second order effects. Think how the government controls those institutions. Money & the ability to spend it as a person or an organization. If you control people's legal existence in your own monetary system without alternatives, means all the government has will become yours.

This is how the USD works by the way (in systems like the petro-dollar), and why so many are trying to replace it. It's not easy. But they'll keep trying. And when they succeed, the American hegemony is over.

In Mexico there's technically a government. But really there are the vast networks of drug cartels. They have their own military, they control politicians, they choose who is and who isn't. It all started by them making a ton of money. The rest followed. If you control the money and who can spend it, you control the economy. If you control the economy, you control everything.
How about the VW Id Buzz?
