The bigger issue for pedestrian injuries on Manhattan's streets is box-blocking and hazardous turns, not really speed. Congestion pricing will probably cause a slight increase in average speeds, but we're talking about going from 5 MPH to maybe 10[1]. It's not ever going to be fast for cars, just faster.

Most cities have posted hours you are technically allowed to be at the park. The majority opinion actually discusses this exact point:

"Grants Pass’s public-camping ordinances do not criminalize status. The public-camping laws prohibit actions undertaken by any person, regardless of status. It makes no difference whether the charged defendant is currently a person experiencing homelessness, a backpacker on vacation, or a student who abandons his dorm room to camp out in protest on the lawn of a municipal building."
Anyone who thinks NYC simply needs to pass more laws & taxes should sit on a condo/coop board for a few years. Thankless job, and dealing with the city bureaucracy is awful.

Lot of mechanisms setup to punish & tax buildings but not to facilitate the timely curing of whatever they are fining you over.

One favorite was after an elevator incident a few years ago, the city passed some new law that required mostly software updates to elevators. It was essentially an update to prevent elevator repairmen from overriding the safety mechanism preventing motion when the door is open. So putting a safety on the safety.

However of course there are only like 2 companies in the city and they colluded on how much they'd charge. So in effect it was a $10k per elevator tax on every residential building in the city. Not huge in the grand scheme of things, but in my condo that was a random 4% of budget blown away at the stroke of a pen. And they do this all the time.

We had to do facade inspections and the city institutes all sorts of rules & fines around it, but then we ran into a stubborn neighbor with axe to grind with sponsor disallowing access on adjacent side for our scaffolding. City of course does nothing to force compliance by neighbor, it's your problem. Eventually had to be paid off in some manner.

Very much city of no.

It could be done and it might actually be useful. You could fine tune one of OpenAI's models on the material owned by the company and use RAG to create bespoke summaries or quotations to fulfill the user's request but if you're going to do that it might be better for each of those companies to provide an API that ChatGPT (or any other LLM) can call directly and provide a few capabilities like getting all pages published within some date range or by a specific author or in such and such category and also provides a search endpoint that can handle both full text and similarity search. Then as long as ChatGPT correctly makes the function call when asked for a link it should be able to return the exact URL or a handful of results in cases where it is unclear which article the user is asking for e.g. if they misremembered the title and author and provided a vague recollection of the content.
It doesn't seem to - 2 of the top 3 people might be ex-CEOs, but that doesn't mean that all board members are CXOs. That's why I was asking how we see it for all board members, and not just the top 3.

You also have to look at who controlled the Senate in those years.
That’s actually one both parties agree vehemently on, it just depends on who can get what they want most out of the approval.

It’s a negotiation tactic effectively, and no president wants to be behind the failure to do so, which leads to the opposing party having the upper hand to negotiate substantial wins in the process.
It seems interesting that they aren't coming out with any clear indicator that it was an issue with the plane itself? If there was some faulty sensor/software override that caused the nose dive, it feels like they would've mentioned that was a suspect.

Driving is honestly pretty inconvenient. You have to find a huge space to put your car every night (difficult when trying to rent in an urban area) possibly with electrical service, you have to pay for the car which is likely tens of thousands of dollars, you have to maintain the car with regular oil changes, new tires, etc that's at least 4-8 hours a year.

I think we feel the pain of waiting for a subway, and think boy it would be so much easier to drive, but few people think while they're working an extra <period of time> a week to pay for their car+parking+insurance+maintenance+... boy would it be nice to not have to own a car.

What one really wants is a target temperature. There are two pieces I'd use here:

- Baseline open-loop controller based on power usage (integrated over some time; e.g. past 30 seconds)

- Closed-loop controller for fine-tuning with feedback from measured temperature to fan speed (PID is fine, but the integral term is critical)

The latter can be used to periodically calibrate the former.

You do not want a simple mapping of temperature to fan speed.

The odd issue about the above is that done wrong, continuously-changing fan speeds can be upsetting to users. Once can use a discrete approximation with hysteresis to avoid that.
Sorry it is my bad. I meant words per line.
I've started taking longer train trips when I need to get from NYC to anywhere in the Northeast corridor (between DC and Boston), instead of driving or flying. Often the price is the same or higher than flying, and the time is longer (even accounting for getting to/from the airport), but the ride is much more pleasant, with plenty of leg room, pleasant views, more quiet. A few times I even had a pleasant conversation in the meal car.

I used to live in Japan and I'm intensely jealous of the high-speed trains there. A bullet-train equivalent in the northeast corridor, or between LA/SF would be a dream. I can't imagine that it wouldn't pay for itself in under 10 years and reduce air traffic considerably.

In the HN discussion of another recent SCOTUS ruling (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40813369) somebody mentioned how clearly written these decisions are and this one is no exception. Additionally, I found the detailed discussion on how to interpret an “otherwise” clause in law fascinating: context determines meaning.

>From what I understand, theoretically speaking you are okay

One does not rely on theory when you could spend a decade in prison for interpreting it wrong. For edge cases you'd better consult your compliance lawyer, your state department contact, and your god before making assumptions. Exports do happen all the time and there's a pretty open culture of declaring them. Usually it's a matter of an email getting sent to the wrong person and actually harmless which comes with an administrative bitch slap from the state department and maybe a moderate fine (like 5 digits, enough to get somebody's attention but in the way a parking ticket does). If you're brazen or particularly foolish or there's real harm though...
The NYC metro is a far, far safer way to travel than driving. 121 people die in traffic yearly in New York City. In the highest-crime year in recent memory (2022) there were 10 deaths in the metro. Generally it's 2 or 3 yearly.
Do these stories come out for cars? The level of unreasonable fear in flying is past the point where actual harm is happening. My wife is so afraid to fly that she cries at even the smallest turbulence. Is flying unsafe? No. It is incredibly safe. Does the occasional uncomfortable event happen? Yes. So? This article fails on many levels. Where is the context in this article? Where does it discuss what is normal to see and how often things like this happen to give an idea of how dangerous and abnormal this was or wasn't? Where does it compare aviation to other transportation sectors to give an idea of how dangerous the industry is or isn't? None of this happened. Instead it used bombastic terms to get a quick headline. This was bad journalism and caused real harm and should be called out.
Every prompt is hallucinations, it's fundamental to how the technology works.

One humorous one I found was whenever I did a typo looking for information on Microsoft's new dev drive or Resilient File System (ReFS), I put `demonstrate "Build, deploy, and develop faster by using an QeFS-based Dev Drive.`

and it will just go on about Microsoft's new Quantum-enhanced File System. You can continue to ask leading questions and it will keep going.

Sometimes you can switch out letters, if it doesn't do an online search it will do the same making up different technologies to fit.

Someone upthread said that Chevron deference is a useful hack; that's absolutely right. Sure, there's technical debt there, but the power structure and individual incentives for legislators have made the hack a useful way to keep the system running.
Do you think if these planes were manufactured by e.g. SpaceX, or another company with a less cozy relationship with the government they'd still be flying? It seems me to that Boeing can do no wrong by regulators even though they can do no right in terms of competence. And it's not only in airplanes but also rockets.

For those who only casually followed the maiden manned spaceflight of the Boeing Starliner, the astronauts barely made it to the ISS after numerous malfunctions, the exact sort of malfunctions that have been repeatedly cropping up in literally every single testflight, but NASA gave them the green-light anyhow. The astronauts were scheduled to return on June 16. That was delayed to June 26th as Boeing tried to figure out a way to make their craft safe to fly in. And their return has now been delayed indefinitely. [1] There's a real chance either SpaceX or Roscosmos will need to come rescue them.

I just think the government actions following these degrees of ongoing and serious failures would be so starkly different if it was a company other than Boeing.

> should be a little ashamed.

Aren't we though? In my experience people that are super proud to be working close to things like adtech or social media are generally early-career, and haven't worked out for themselves yet how these things are a huge net-negative. At least you could make the argument that AI is more ambiguous.

And whether you're a data-scientist, application developer, or infrastructure engineer, the situation is the same. I think we'd all rather be curing cancer, working on climate change, maybe even doing meaningful work in the government sector. Those jobs mostly don't exist, and where they do: they don't pay market rates, and they aren't like other tech jobs where meaningful experience is much more important than things like academic credentials.

Regarding market rates, one could argue that tech workers are in a privileged position and should have the luxury of concluding that money isn't everything.
But even without dependents, even with a tech salary, for lots of people housing is still pretty unaffordable, healthcare is nuts, retirement pushed back or seeming impossible. This kind of insecurity understandably leads to scarcity mentality where honesty/integrity and other ideals of how to be a morally upright citizen are on hold, and slimy behaviour or at least associating with slime is just normal.

Most money of any kind isn't clean if you really look into it, and it seems like there's fewer ways to earn an honest living in tech compared to say blue-collar work. Coding was still mostly fun and games maybe as recently as 10 years ago, but weaponized disinformation is bringing it closer to something like chemistry, where even if you're not working on nerve-gas you're probably still trafficking with adjacent big-pharma, oil companies, etc. But there's a lot more tech-workers than chem PhDs.

Shame seems like it's still required, but actually feeling guilty requires responsibility, and responsibility requires viable alternative options.
It does not help that on time performance, outages, and safety on subways have all gotten worse versus 5/10/15 years ago.

> "Randomly reading from various memory addresses might give the modern programmer some concern about security holes, maybe somehow reading leftover data on the bus an application shouldn't be able to see. On the Apple II, there is no protected memory at all though, so don't worry about it! Loosen up! The hacker doesn't need a security hole if there's no security."

I miss computers that didn't have the capability to send all my important data to an unknown address in Belarus in the blink of an eye.

Maybe someone could design a modern desktop operating system whose outgoing network requests are batched and processed once a day, so you can look through the batch before letting it out. This would of course mean that applications must be designed to be extremely thrifty about what data they want to send, or users would simply ban them for making large opaque requests. No more telemetry, no more ad profile updates, etc.

> that doesn't mean that all board members are CXOs

Yes even one contrary example would disprove this statement. I thought the original sentiment was boards are dominated by top executives in industry, and not that literally 100% of board members are currently a CEO. The former isn't obviously untrue to me, the latter is easily disproved.

It isn't even necessarily wrong to have mostly CEOs or ex-CEOs on boards. You really do want experienced businesspeople as board members. But that conflict of interest or "class loyalty" should be kept in mind when discussing whether CEO pay is set by a competitive, open market.
It's easy to think of the models in this context, rather than the application built on top of the model, in this case ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is not simply the gpt-4o model, it's the model, a system prompt, tools and a virtual environment running python.

Loved this and the detail - thank you. It’s the best inside detail on the engineering work behind these models I’ve ever read.

Two things I’m curious about- first, what, if any difference would you imagine in training a 400b parameter model? It seems that you have plenty of vram across the cluster, but I want to know what you think.

Second, do you think this sort of architecture is the end game for model training? It seems sooo fragile. Are there better shared training mechanisms/architectures? Are there better cluster geometries?

Thanks again - great read.
Why is Scrum special and needed to be fixed? The question is making an assumption. The point of agile is for the team to self-organize for effectiveness. My question would be where does Scrum fit into that, and how is a "one size fits all" hammer, agile?

For my current team, I like either sync or async (in Slack) standups that basically say if anyone's blocked or could use some extra eyes, and what's next in their sights. For a team project board, I prefer Kanban style without estimates--I've never seen velocity tracking used to any purposeful effect. If you want a team to build good features fast, don't bother them with "process theatre", instead ask the team lead/PM the questions and they should either have a good sense or be able to find out soon by having human discussions with the team.

You've misunderstood what she's saying.

I think I need to give more context here.

So I own resume builder - resumefromspace.com

The guy approaches me and says he has some job postings.
He uses some kind of aggregator to get those.

He displays them on big website (FAANG type). Let's say I type in "React engineer" in Bing search and they have employment TAB, where they show his job postings.

When user clicks on that posting he is redirected to jobs.resumefromspace.com/jobId=123 where they will see:

- Header logo - that would be my logo with option to create resume
- Job listing - where they would see job listing
- Apply button - button to apply

Why I like it.
- I think job search is relevant to my site (resume builder)
- I will have additional traffic (like 5k visitors - if they need resume built)

Why I don't like it
- Google may rank be down (for some reason ???). I have a good amount of organic traffic & I really like my small project.

Thanks, Dan
That's a false dichotomy. There's a huge range of applications that fall between "just a demo" and "must be reliably correct". They are just harder to productize for a broad market.
This is not true - you do own your phone if you pay for it outright. Apple cannot take away your phone.

This article omits one interesting fact about lithium.

'7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his St. Louis–based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920. Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1948.'

With that definition it literally is just the git log though isn't it, which was GP's point?

I know you're writing in agreement, but it sounds like your changelog is an intermediary step, and I don't understand why it's needed? To fill in the gaps from lazy commit messages?
