I also got the t-shirt from Google, when they announced they were coming to Austin. I don't remember which year that was.
Google did come to a couple of neighborhoods, but that's it.

And while that spurred the AT&T fiber sales critters to come out of the woodwork, that didn't inspire much in the way of actual fiber investment from AT&T.

The sales critters came to our neighborhood several times, but ultimately stopped. I think I may have had some influence there, because I kept asking them if they could actually deliver fiber to our house, and they kept failing to be able to answer the question. I kept showing them the AT&T website on my iPad and to show me where they could actually provide service, and they just walked away.

Still no AT&T fiber here.

But Spectrum was happy to walk around the neighborhood recently, offering their same sub-1Gbps cable modem service that they've had for years and years.

Sadly, when Time Warner Cable was here, they could do symmetric 1Gbps connections, at least if you signed up for business class service. Not so much with Spectrum. They can give you 1Gbps down, but nowhere near that for upstream -- not even with business class.

Sigh....

Denver, Colorado

Pros: Beautiful seasons. Very easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Unlimited outdoor activities available. Fairly progressive, with a libertarian streak. Lots of people from elsewhere, easy to make friends. Lots of outgoing people, easy to chat people up. Weather is really awesome to behold (50F+ temperature swings in a single day are not unheard of). Plenty of jobs. Cost of living is going up, but not as outrageous as California or big East Coast cities. Living in Denver at altitude is a great way to crosstrain - when I go on vacation to cities at sea level, I feel like I have unlimited energy

Cons: The winter can suck for weeks at a time. Not as bad as the Midwest or East Coast from what I hear. I hate the 430PM sunset, but this is common across much of the US in the winter. The food scene is terrible, although slowly improving. Very little diversity, there are thousands of carbon-copy 20-something tech bro/ski bums wandering around cluelessly. Bland culture - bring your own.

This is awesome! Can’t believe I haven’t seen it before. Reminds me of HTMX in a way. Did this project come before or after it? Can you differentiate them? I’d like to use this in a hobby project but am not sure how it differs from HTMX. They seem to overlap in some areas?

Sam Altman calls it the "alignment tax".

There were some papers on ArXiV showing that as GPT-4 was aligned, it got measurably stupider. For example, the test where it was asked to draw a pink unicorn using a the TikZ vector art format: during training it got better and better, and then worse and worse again as it was aligned.

A friend of mine put it well: biases are just our Bayesian priors of reality. If you remove biases, then you're erasing some of those priors. Bad priors lead to bad predictions.
If you believe you can find even just all unintentional bugs, let alone deliberate security vulnerabilities, you've never looked at the underhanded C contest [1].

> All you have to do is view the changes/new commits every time you want to update.

These can be thousands of lines of code per day in busy projects.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underhanded_C_Contest
When it's all private entities, all this is legal right? Like trade windows, and trading laws and all that apply only in public entities correct?

So Sam could decide to have Open AI hire all his family to executive roles, invest out money into his own companies or his family and friends and it all would be legal right?

Using him/OpenAI here as an example.

I thought you must surely have meant `2'` vs `6'` (i.e. feet) and simply used the wrong symbol.

I don't really understand how a 2" deep nano trench is meant to last any serious amount of time (compared to a regular conduit fully buried under the road), given how asphalt roads (particularly in a city where there is a fixed-height curb, and resurfacing works will regularly be ripping up a layer of the asphalt to be replaced.
I went to a tiny Catholic school that didn’t have a playground. We had a parking lot with two moveable basketball nets.

We played “touch” football on the asphalt where touch was only a strong suggestion. We went to the nurse a lot.

United Kingdom joins Horizon Europe programme
"The association Protocol adopted by the Committee is an integral part of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. The UK will contribute around €2.43 billion per year on average to the EU budget for its participation in Horizon Europe, and roughly €154 million for participation to Copernicus."

"Horizon Europe is the EU's key funding programme for research and innovation with a budget of €95.5 billion for 2021-27."

It seems the UK bargained well; about €15 billion of payments or about 15% of the whole budget.

Most huge cities have IT companies that can absorb english-only workers. There's gonna be some "hard mode" stuff involved in any case with living abroad of course.

And my general impression is that outside the US visa stuff is relatively straightforward if you're going into a skilled job.
No, you’re right, it doesn’t work reliably

I just think the y combinator crowd underestimates the human obstacles and ancient tech in the path of getting AI implemented
I don’t think it required a hack, I don’t remember that. However they did have a serial number built-in that the software would send to the retailer when you scanned things for tracking purposes.

I think the hack was to disable that, it might’ve been as simple as cutting a single trace.

The article clearly posits that investor-owners tend to charge more than other owners, either in resale price or rent, disproportionate to the value of the improvements they make to the property. That is, the article asserts that investor-owned properties cost more than non-investor-owned properties.

Maybe the analysis in the underlying report is flawed (and it very likely could be), but that's the claim. It's not a claim about what might happen, it's a claim about what is happening.

Yeah imagine if someone built a bridge and was like, yeah, we need to do regular updates or else it will fail and come crashing down.

I feel like software engineers who preach that everything must be connected to the internet and update from the mothership regularly are fundamentally disconnected from reality. If your design is robust to begin with you should be able to depend on it without constantly fiddling with everything.
What exactly do you think is the "risk" of going with Google in these situations as a consumer?

I know people who have Google Fiber, and love it - super fast Internet at reasonable prices. If it got turned off, they would just go with someone else. What exactly do you think the downside is? As a municipality, sure, as the article explains. But as an end consumer, what's the problem?
I definitely miss the experience of hearing “the usual?” once I tell them my address.
FCC Low-Power Radio, Time to Apply 1 Week Now!
This will be the first Low-Power FM (LPFM) filing window to apply for a legitimate broadcasting license since 2013.

This is significant because it allows for a small enough transmitter to broadcast over the regular FM airwaves, that the purchase cost of the transmitter as well as the energy needs are small enough to be affordable to an individual, even though only organizations not individuals can qualify for this type license.

Looks like there is also no application fee, very uncommon.

This is the hobbyist size of transmitter no bigger than a shortwave Ham radio operator would have, that is otherwise forbidden or rarely licensed for use on your regular local FM radio airwaves.

Outstanding rare opportunity for educational nonprofit or Native American organizations.

https://www.fcc.gov/document/lpfm-new-station-application-fi...

Anyone eligible should really jump on this before it's too late.

The application appears especially bureaucratic, but Prometheus seems like they are there to help.

"LPFM Application Window Rescheduled to December 6-13

November 9, 2023

Today the FCC released a public notice delaying the upcoming LPFM filing window 5 weeks. It is now scheduled to be open from December 6, 2023 to December 13, 2023. The delay is a response to a request by LPFM advocates including Prometheus, Common Frequency, REC Networks, National Federation of Community Broadcasters and others.

With the additional time, we have expanded capacity to assist nonprofit organizations applying for LFPM licenses. The best way to reach us is by email to info(at)prometheusradio.org or you can call 215-727-9620."
What a joke. This is just a band-aid.
The biggest reason I hear from farmers whey they don't switch to organic farming practices is that yields are too unpredictable (and usually much lower) with current organic methods for field crops.

So maybe someone smarter than me could chime in: Could we expect similar results with field crops like corn, soybeans, wheat?
It's a sort of truth. Creators' intension isn't so special for consumers.

I’m kinda joking, but I genuinely feel bad for people who live in places where cycling makes their health worse because of the air pollution. I had to deal with that situation a few summers ago when wildfires caused ash to rain from the sky and made the air quality shit. It felt like a low-level hell.
Useful Full-Self-driving is arguably harder than "useful automated medicine" in two ways. First, you need insane reliability to match human performance. Much higher reliability than doctors even. Second, it's not "just" information processing somewhere in the cloud. It has to run in real time inside a car. Both are very hard in that the conditions are very context dependent and vary a lot (a.k.a. the real world is messy).

I’m not sure it’s that they’d go easy on you, I think it’s more that they would go extra hard as a deterrent when they catch you trying to cover things up.
Not too jargony, but it possibly conflates the regular calibration settings (brightness, contrast, etc.) which are actually worth tweaking because they let you get closer to the original signal. The settings this article discusses generally let you stray farther from the original signal.

About the same. Nothing they did was as significant as making chatgpt. Research was not a factor.

I just spent six weeks there. I liked it in general but I felt like the air and the traffic were both dangers that would get me eventually if I lived there permanently. I do like how the old quarter is closed for traffic at the weekend. Gives it a festival vibe.
In NYC, before Seamless and the like, restaurants just offered free delivery when you called over the phone. It was just part of the deal; didn't have to be profitable on its own (the business it brought was enough). Restaurants evidently did fine back then.

Seamless et al are really just siphoning money out of restaurants’ pockets because you cannot, these days, be the only restaurant who still makes people call over the phone.
Basically, it's a very oil-rich country that uses its wealth to invest in its people

Agreed. It's done good for its people with its oil money - but the first thing it needed was oil.

I think a more impressive country is Singapore, which has no natural resources, but projects well above its weight.

Is there any reason to believe that there will be a future trial in which he gets in trouble for purposefully crashing the plane as well?
Probably, because he was stupid enough to record a video with cameras in the plane. But there’s plenty of ways to achieve it which could pass as accidental:

Accidentally lean mixture (e.g., grab the wrong control).
Set to use an empty fuel tank.
Set the fuel valve to off or in between settings.
With some preparation, destroy a spark plug or two, only enable those spark plugs in the air - extreme misfires will be obvious on video.

There are plenty of pilots who wear chutes (and there are special chutes which basically replace your seat) but he also had a fire extinguisher strapped to his leg which is not a normal occurrence.
I don't know what your internal architecture looks like, but on the face of it, arguably you should be running Dev and QA loads on the same cluster. Either you have an organization where an SRE team is responsible for running clusters for teams, in which case why not run Dev and QA on the same cluster, or you are responsible for last-line-of-support for teams responsible for running their own clusters, in which case you say, here's a new version of Kubernetes (e.g. a Terraform module) and in this sprint you are responsible for deploying it through dev, QA, pre-prod, and production clusters. Especially if you have separate Kubernetes clusters per product line (do you really need separate dev Kubernetes clusters per product line?).
No worries; I only meant to comment on the headline within the work itself and didn't even notice a discrepancy!

I’d argue that good (and certainly not nonexistent) regulation is a necessity of a well-functioning, efficient market.
That only concerns the time needed to implement it though, not capabilities. If an AI is known to be significantly better at diagnosing than your GP, and you know and believe this (this of course has yet to happen and then take time to be noticed by people), then you will use it. You will demand it is used. People actually care about their health.
