Yep, I learned that the hard way when we bought our first house a long time ago. I naively thought I would be a more attractive buyer because they don't have to pay my agent. There ended up being two other offers. Anyway, I remember seeing in the closing documents the amount allotted to their agent, the full 6%. Wtf, indeed.
> The automaker subsequently engineered a system that prevents Autopilot from executing the turn which caused the crash.

So, nothing wrong with the system but they patched it anyway. Riiiight.
Religion and its associated anti-science (etc) is the majority reason for home schooling. The groups in highly-skilled co-ops are a small minority and are not what the word normally invokes.
Reclaiming the physical storage of an unused column is often a costly and sometimes impossible operation, which is why many legacy applications end up with the equivalent of my_column_final_final_v2. Database administration requires compromises like this sometimes in the name of uptime and data integrity. Big migrations are always inherently a little risky, and from the view of many DBAs, why even risk it just for a bit of clean up? Your schema shouldn't be totally transparent to your application's business logic anyway, so there are better places to enforce naming hygiene.
Ayup, another example I can remember of is that swedish professor who went ahead and hired services of a PMC to extract her grad student and his family from Iraq[0].

If you think thats weird, don't look up how many cops commit crimes.
The standards are public, yes, but that does not mean they are standards that a majority of the public agrees with. They are set by unelected bureaucrats.

School boards are elected, but I don't think "broad democractic oversight" is a fair description.

In any case, none of the things you mention prevented the US public school system from being explicitly set up to indoctrinate children, as explicitly described by the people who set it up. So to the extent that society in the US cares about educating children, it cares about educating them according to a particular political agenda that many people do not agree with. That is a major reason why homeschooling continues to increase in popularity.
> Sure, they didn't have to pay with money, past a certain point they didn't even use money, but they paid with (much) shorter lives. Money is just the cost of self-determination.

the cost of a clear night sky does not have to be "no technology". We don't need nearly as many streetlights, lighted signs, houselights, etc as we have.

I've lived in areas where regulation restricts lighting choices; it is a good thing.

Excess lighting is called light pollution, and it is a societal choice to put up with it. Society can choose otherwise and help us rediscover our wonder at the world.
I agree that funding isn't necessarily the problem. We live in a wealthy county and have more to spend per pupil. Unfortunately that doesn't translate to higher test scores. The extra dollars go to administrative positions in the central office which may or may not translate to better academic performance.

I think this assumes that the price of real estate is set by the post-fees price that sellers receive. I don't think that is true.

I think the strongest factor in real estate pricing is what buyers are willing to pay. In some cases that is influenced by how much the buyer was able to keep after selling a previous property, but I don't think that is the most significant factor.

Another factor that influences the sale price is the psychology surrounding the pre-fee sale price. Many sellers become fixated on a particular sale price. A common strategy for getting a lower effective sale price is getting sellers to include more in the sale price. One particularly notable example is seller financing.

Technically, the 6% goes to the Seller agent. They promote on the listing how much they're willing to share with the Buyer's agent; half is customary but not set in stone.

There are agents for your situation. They'll collect the 3% (or whatever it is) and rebate it back to you at or after closing; less some fixed fee ($600 in my experience). They are not going to do much for you, but if you already found the house yourself and are familiar with the buying contracts/process. It's an option that can save you a lot.

This may differ by state of course. My experience is limited to Texas. But I've bought and sold property using these type of agents. When selling, you just do all the work (hire a photographer $200-500, write the description $0+, and they load it to the MLS for you as the listing agent). I'm of the opinion that for most properties, the only value added marketing is the MLS. When they talk about their websites and portals and ads they run in print media I roll my eyes.
Wars That Nearly Happened (But Didn't)
Exciting. In my past experience at Uber we were looking at leveraging Kafka and Pinot for replacing some large on the fly index queries and calculations we were doing.

To the folks in this thread comparing the model with GPT-4, are you comparing it with GPT-4 in ChatGPT, or with GPT-4 on Phind? Because it should be the latter for a fair comparison. The Phind response seems to be heavily based on the top search results, which may affect the quality of the response.

(An even more interesting question would be to compare ChatGPT GPT-4 with Phind GPT-4, i.e. GPT-4 with relevant web results in context.)
While you only wrote that that website provides the "tools" it would have been very reasonable to infer from your comment that you were also implying that they agreed with Bible-alone teaching.
I agree with this sentiment, and I'm especially in favor of selling where you purchase services "a la carte" (e.g. pay a fee for a real estate attorney, a separate one to the escrow company, photographers if needed, etc.).

However, if you say "it isn't hard by any stretch", I invite you to take a look at listings in your area and compare for-sale-by-owner listings with those listed by an agent. Half the time it looks like the photos on FSBO listings were taken by a flip phone from the early 00s, often times the pictures look like the person didn't even clean or there are garbage cans in curbside pics, the descriptions have glaring typos, etc. My point being that I believe it shouldn't be hard, but I am often dumbfounded about how the average quality of FSBO listings (at least where I live) is abysmal. These people are easily losing out on a lot of money by not putting a minimal amount of effort into selling the biggest asset they own.

Straw man, slippery slope, false dilemma, causal fallacy.. do they teach rhetoric and Aristotelian logic in public schools?
The concern is perhaps less one’s ability to “market” a house better than a realtor than it is whether the realtor’s services, both individually and as a combined effort between buyer and seller agents, is worth anything remotely like the fees charged. The answer is clearly no to the latter.

With prices where they are today and the combination of effort and skill demonstrated by the realtors I have worked with—each of whom was highly regarded—I would give them perhaps a 1% commission split between them. In all but the most unusual cases, even that would be an overpayment at a reasonable hourly rate for their education and skill level.
First off, congrats on building such a cool product. I love that I can just "jump into it" which is great.

Note that I'm not really a power user of these GPT style tools- here are my questions:

Is it possible to get right to the code without the ELI5 and general information?

Do you guys offer an API? I was browsing on my small iphone so maybe I missed this info.

Could you give an overview for someone like me how something like phind works technically? You mentioned those H100s, but at a very high level without revealing any "secret sauce" how does this GPT work from my input to getting a response?

Good luck!

> but it's actually a whole bunch of very dissimilar things.

Even in the same kid it can be very dissimilar.

The main reason I was homeschooled was that the local school system's ridiculous "whole word" approach to reading and writing was failing me badly, and by age ten I still could barely read. So that part of my homeschooling experience was very traditional, hands on, drilling in phonics and other time tested techniques... and soon I finally could read and write fluently.

Meanwhile for math and science, I had no problem figuring it on my own with much less input now that I could finally read. I wasn't quite unschooled for those subjects. But it was close to that.

Funny thing is I actually learned basic programming _before_ I could read fluently. I remember the hardest thing about it being struggling to read the books I was learning from. Programming itself seemed pretty straightforward in comparison.

> the parents' "values" are almost always some crackpot nonsense

"Almost always" is way, way too broad. Yes, some parents' values are crackpot nonsense, but many are not. One does not have to be a crackpot to prefer homeschooling to US public schools.

Also, the values that the people who set up the US public school system explicitly said that system would indoctrinate children into are nothing to write home about either.

> Have some humility

Take your own advice. If anyone is being way overconfident here, it's you.

> let the kids figure out what they think for themselves

It seems to me that homeschooling is far more likely to let kids do this than public schools are.

> The public school gives them a reasonably neutral basis to do that

In the US? You must be joking. Public schools in the US are anything but neutral.

Honestly this axis is pretty good. It's scaled for easy reading, the scales are identical for both, there's not logarithmic or power scaling going on, etc.

A fixed jump, solidly different colors that aren't TOO associated with normal western biases (red bad, green good; this is pastels so somewhat escapes that), scaling accurately without visual tricks. For this data this is a really good graph.

Read some Edward Tufte or the like to get an idea of what bad and good visual displays of information look like.
Kids are in school for 5 or so hours per day, but for many kids (especially those who are bright), they are learning for perhaps 1 hour of that time. If you can take an hour to teach them something, and another 10 minutes to assess their progress later in the day, they will learn at least as much as they would have in school. Of course, the time commitment also varies by grade; younger kids need lots of attention, whereas older kids are more self-sufficient. It depends on lot based on your particular kids.
Not a Tesla owner but I would have thought that Musk & co would be able to state exactly when the Autopilot wasn't engaged and when it was just from the logs and yet they are 'unclear'. Is that another way of saying that the AP bailed and went "here human, fix this" in the final seconds? I mean, how hard can it be to check the logs from moment of impact backwards and state "it wasn't turned on for the journey" or "it was turned off 3 minutes before the crash". Unclear huh?

I've worked with some databases that are 20+ years old and have outlived multiple application iterations. There's always going to be cruft in this kind of situation, it just comes with territory of supporting applications with real production users for a long time.
Those examples sound pretty reasonable, what's the issue?
Good points. I totally forgot about the whole home inspection process and how ridiculous it tends to be. Even when they aren't in house, you know it will be someone that the realtor has worked with before. It will certainly catch things because it has to demonstrate its value, and those things will be worth at least hundreds of $$s. Unfortunately, it will also offer no real guarantee that those things were worth catching or that other things weren't missed.

You are right, a party trying to fix this will need great funding, large scale, and they can't be someone that will just sell out (ala zillow). With the NAR's ability to block out parties that they don't like, it might not even be practically possible.
Some games do have different matchmaking based on control type. The problem is some people use devices that let them use a KBM while pretending its a controller.

KBM is a huge boost.

> If we make something that will functionally become an intellectual god after 10 years of iteration on hardware/software self-improvements, how could we know that in advance?

There is a fundamental difference between intelligence and knowledge that you're ignoring. The greatest superintelligence can't tell you whether the new car is behind door one, two or three without the relevant knowledge.

Similarly, a superintelligence can't know how to break into military servers solely by virtue of its intelligence - it needs knowledge about the cybersecurity of those servers. It can use that intelligence to come up with good ways to get that knowledge, but ultimately those require interfacing with people/systems related to what it's trying to break into. Once it starts interacting with external systems, it can be detected.

Well, sorta.

The contract between the seller and their broker/agent definitely reserves (typically) 3% for the buyer side broker/agent. What happens to that 3% is definitely under the influence of the buyer. We negotiated a 50/50 split of the 3% back to us as the buyer in the most recent house that we bought. I guess we could have instead offered it as an incremental incentive to the selling party to sweeten the deal.
