> The first is that a drain on individuals is a drain on society.

Citation needed. I don't outright disagree, but I do think you state this as if it's a much simpler fact of life then it really is.

> That's why we outlaw risky behavior like lethal recreactional drugs,

Outlawing drugs is a perfect example, that's something we've done in the US that has gone flawlessly. No one has any notes, complete unambiguous success.... oh wait!

You even elude to this, I assume, by restricting it to just lethal drugs. That's misleading at best. There is plenty of space to say this is more likely to harm the community, than it is to support the individual. PCP is a popular example where the misapplication directly causes said individual to become a direct danger to the community.

> driving without seatbelts, driving without a driver's license, etc. We try to protect people from themselves in some of the worst aspects that we can.

It's legal to drive a car without a license. You need a license to prove you're able to do it safely on public property. It's very different to say, you can't do X ever, and you can't do [something unsafe for other people], around other people who are being safe.

> Second, of course, is health care costs. Activities that constantly result in injury wind up raising the health care costs for everyone, since that's how insurance works.

> You already have to have car insurance, yes. And yes lots of kinds of guns are banned in lots of places.

> We draw the lines in different places.

Right, I'm aware, but prove that's actually a bad thing? That's what I'm asking. Is it sane to go "AHHHHH THAT'S RISK! All risk is bad for society! Quick, ban it!". Again, using "Non-lethal" drug, seem to suggest that the risks of banning something out weight the risks of that thing. We already learned that banning alcohol was a net-negative, and we seem to be figuring that out for marijuana now too.

> It is a pretty interesting thought experiment to wonder whether people shouldn't be allowed to engage in organized sports that are risky, without paying an additional health insurance premium? E.g. if you play professional football, then your league has to pay extra money into the health insurance fund to compensate for all the extra health care treatment their players need and will need.

Is this a good idea? Car insurance protects others from your carelessness. Sports insurance protects you from... you? Is it reasonable for society to subdivide itself like that? Should old people have to pay more money for insurance? Should people with diabetes pay more? Should women of childbearing age pay more? Or should we as a society, look down from a higher level view, acknowledge that healthy individuals are better for society, and decide that we're not going to treat individuals differently, that because everyone is in this game of life together, where nobody gets out alive, that we're all going to make it as easy as we can for everybody to be their best, while refusing to define best for any individual.
Assuming they do it correctly. There was a series of Pixel cases (the 9s, I think?) where they used the same alignment between the Pro and non-Pro Pixels on the case, despite the coils not being in the same location on the actual phones... which apparently caused poor/non-existent charging and excessive heat.
I don’t think you know what an auditor is
This kind of thinking is what leads to zero progress. Also I think most people will be surprised how unless a lot of the data is compared to private sector data. I.e, in 2017 Equifax leaked data on 150 million people and no one cared (you get a free 6month credit check). That data went to foreign governments and private databases and it is easy to access on darkweb so real actual scammers and criminals have it. Millions of people were targeted for scamming because of this. That is just ONE leak. Now imagine the amount of data Visa has on your for example, all your purchases. Apps that have collected your browsing history and actual GPS location. Don't think this data isn't sold and combined with other databases. There are companies that just collect data and buy data. And you are worried about 1 database with people given explicit access makes me think the real objection is something else.
Seems like it? Except curl already has decent syntax and lets you directly control what you're doing so you know what the generated request is going to look like. No magic.

I can't see how these tools are powerful enough to replace curl, so you still need to know how to use curl, but at the same time this DSL isn't self explanatory.

I'd rather just use curl, and my team will be careful I didn't ask them to learn another DSL. They already know how to use curl.

I get the impression there’s a language model sending high level commands to a control model? I wonder when we can have one multimodal model that controls everything.

The latest models seemed to be fluidly tied in with generating voice; even singing and laughing.

It seems like it would be possible to train a multimodal that can do that with low level actuator commands.

> if you were in charge of addressing this problem, how would you tackle it differently?

I would start by not firing people doing jobs I don't understand. They do that a lot, even for very, very important jobs.
How so?

"kill" = "cause to cease living", "living" is pretty well defined (it's not entirely obvious for edge cases, like viruses, but quite obvious for cells)

"human" = pretty obvious as well, simply look at genetics. I mean, obviously an offspring of two humans is a human (for the next 100k+ years)

Yes there is. Germ theory is settled science. Is it theoretically possible that we'll overturn it? Sure. Is it likely? No. In the absence of any groundbreaking experimental results, it worth wasting time entertaining germ theory skepticism? Also no.

> It's unproductive to treat science as anything more than an ongoing, constantly improving process.

It's unproductive to constantly re-litigate questions like "is germ theory true" or "is global warming real" in the absence of any experimental results that seriously challenge those theories. Instead, we should put our effort into advancing medicine and fixing climate change, predicated on the settled science which makes both those fields possible.

> The fact is meat is often the central peace of the dish, second the carbs and then salads, cabbages and roots.

This is one meal, dinner, and the fact that it is more protein-heavy is not the problem. Nevermind ratio, some diets are devoid of fiber. The secondary "carbs" are just pasta, white bread, crackers, etc.

If you consume a whole-foods diet, with a dinner that has a larger meat component, you will easily, easily have enough fiber.

If they'd gone bankrupt, the employees had all lost their jobs, the shareholders got wiped out, the CEO's stock options were worthless, and burly men were carting the office's aeron chairs to the auction house - that would be a different matter.

It's interesting you invoke the constitution and law here when law is being violated per the constitution - funds are being unilaterally revoked by unelected individuals, funds that were voted on by congress.

You can do all of that in a code review; the point is that it actually allows for better stratification because you can incorporate different challenges in a reasonable time frame and without having to do take homes and get working environments (you'll end up reviewing their code anyways in a followup session).
> Her video on autism is considered super harmful and misleading by actual autistic people.

I’m autistic and I just watched her video. I found it to be one of the best primers on autism I’ve seen. Not complete, of course, and there’s a lot more nuance to it, but very even handed. She doesn’t make any judgements. She just gives the history and talks about the controversies without choosing sides, except to say that the idea of neurodiversity seems reasonable to her. When compared to most of the discourse about autism, it stands up pretty well. Of course, there’s a lot more I want people to know about autism, but it’s an ok start.

Actually, many autistic people (myself included) would find your statement far more harmful. You assume that all autistic people think alike and believe the same thing. This is false. You try to defend us without understanding us.

Don’t do that.

I suppose there’s a possibility that you’re autistic and found it harmful to you. If so, don’t speak for me.

> While xAI's model isn't a substantial leap beyond Deepseek R1, it utilizes 100 times more compute.

I'm not sure if it's close to 100x more. xAI had 100K Nvidia H100s, while this is what SemiAnalysis writes about DeepSeek:

> We believe they have access to around 50,000 Hopper GPUs, which is not the same as 50,000 H100, as some have claimed. There are different variations of the H100 that Nvidia made in compliance to different regulations (H800, H20), with only the H20 being currently available to Chinese model providers today. Note that H800s have the same computational power as H100s, but lower network bandwidth.

> We believe DeepSeek has access to around 10,000 of these H800s and about 10,000 H100s. Furthermore they have orders for many more H20’s, with Nvidia having produced over 1 million of the China specific GPU in the last 9 months. These GPUs are shared between High-Flyer and DeepSeek and geographically distributed to an extent. They are used for trading, inference, training, and research. For more specific detailed analysis, please refer to our Accelerator Model.

> Our analysis shows that the total server CapEx for DeepSeek is ~$1.6B, with a considerable cost of $944M associated with operating such clusters. Similarly, all AI Labs and Hyperscalers have many more GPUs for various tasks including research and training then they they commit to an individual training run due to centralization of resources being a challenge. X.AI is unique as an AI lab with all their GPUs in 1 location.

https://semianalysis.com/2025/01/31/deepseek-debates/

I don't know how much slower are these GPUs that they have, but if they have 50K of them, that doesn't sound like 100x less compute to me. Also, a company that has N GPUs and trains AI on them for 2 months can achieve the same results as a company that has 2N GPUs and trains for 1 month. So DeepSeek could spend a longer time training to offset the fact that have less GPUs than competitors.

A huge problem with this is that from all accounts, these engineers going in don't seem to have any accountability. No one knows who is in charge and making the decisions (presumably Musk though official statements say he's not the DOGE administrator, but no one knows who is), they come into offices like an FBI raid demanding access but won't give reasons, say who is in charge, what they are doing, or even their names.[0] Its much worse than an FBI raid, and reminiscent of Gestapo tactics.

So even if DOGE is benign (and I don't think they are, but lets assume for a moment), if something goes wrong, who is to blame? Where is the transparency they are expecting of government agencies?

Would you trust an outside team like that, say some brash McKinsley team of "experts", to come in and do whatever they want with your systems? What company would allow that?

Also turns out that they're making up shit. $8 billion "saved" was actually $8 million because they didn't do their homework.

Thank you for your feedback, you have a valid point about the /metrics endpoint. We're planning on providing a /metrics endpoint in the future. I mentioned this previously as well in another reply.

This isn't a custom system at all we're simply removing the need to install / configure / manage another external package by implementing a data shipper into uplink using elixir broadway. The end goal is still that Ops / SREs can still use their existing favorite monitoring pipeline whether that's Grafana / Prometheus / Loki or Elastic / OpenSearch stack. There are several advantages, it means less things to install / maintain / patch / secure as mentioned in the post. We believe doings things this way leads to a more robust / secure system in the long term.

As for the 15 seconds scrapes we can tune that and provide that as an option for customers as well. These are things we can improve and provide to our customers as options. For now for MVP we're shipping data to the elastic stack certain decisions are made to help simplify and reduce the amount of things we have to do to get the product to an MVP.

We can provide the /metrics endpoint in the future, it's just a matter of time and priorities.

There are reasons why we're shipping data into elastic that will be clearer once things mature a little more. There are things Elastic can do that we need at a base level for our internal product plans, there will be a follow up post about this later.

Will provide more blog post articles giving you more details as to the decisions we've made and why we made them. Always happy to read feedback.

"Past performance is not indicative of future results"

People are unreliable. They change their behavior based on circumstance. The person who posted the pledge may well mean it right now, but then some things change and it all goes out the window.

Even worse is that companies change hands. The old owners sell or, heaven forbid, the previous owner dies. When companies change owners, all previous promises have no meaning.
Feeding a teenager going through a growth spurt a healthy diet is no joke, and even harder when they’re athletes. Anything that gets them to eat whole foods instead of junk food to fill that gap is far from crazy. Twelve eggs is on the order of 700-800 calories anyway, it would barely get a third of the way there.
It was an election thing, right?

It was not really plausible for Republicans to say they are going to do something about healthcare or insurance (I mean, hopefully that isn’t controversial—it isn’t like they are lying about that, healthcare just isn’t part of their platform). It was a folksy way to complain about the economy under Biden without complaining about capitalism.

Now it is a folksy way for Democrats to complain about the economy, that doesn’t require bringing up the fact that there was some inflation under Biden. And it has some vague healthcare relevance (since bird flu might jump to humans).

The way stuff gets talked about in America now is intense focus on extremely niche stuff. Our legislative branch is not really functional anymore, so we can’t talk seriously about solving big problems. So, let’s put a on our blinders and talk about eggs. The eggs represent our whole system, it is dumb as hell.

>There's value in having speedbumps that keep 51%* of the population from shooting 100% (or 99%) of the population in the collective foot... or in this case, head.

That metaphor breaks down here and is not really applicable. If two people are chained to each other at the ankles, they can both plausibly argue that the only way to save their own life is to take that of the other person. Whining "but I'm the good guy, I deserve to cut off his foot and let him be the one to bleed to death" is asinine.

The solution here is, of course, to not be chained to the other person irreversibly. But any time that is suggested, we hear a bunch of "We're stronger together, that's crazy talk!" And here we are. 330 million people all chained together, and now people are upset that the other team has the hatchets and is menacingly staring at their ankles.
