They are also on par in a lot of classification tasks. I did have to actually use gemma4 and fine tune it a bit but that is part of the value add.

I don’t believe Elon is even remotely related to a people manager. He’s a stakeholder and operator which require different skill sets. He finds folks who will manage to o bring the empathy he tends to lose in his pursuit of his next project. I believe your evidence may be anecdotally valuable but let’s be clear about the dynamic of a founder/ceo.

Mate, wouldn’t it make sense that these rules are applied via hierarchy? If Elon respects Karparthy he almost certainly gave him a longer leash and Karparthy’s output was strong enough to not warrant intervention. It’s clear he did not want to stay long term so I’m not sure this is a strong line of thinking.

Are you claiming it has been status quo for the US government to king make companies through the usage of the defense protection act when one entity refuses to remove safeguards? Do you have any examples or is this just the worldview that aligns with your own?

UniFi is simple to keep running and updated. It’s mostly plug and play as long as you have Ethernet lines. You sometimes have to hit update in the iPhone app.

You know, as the rest of us do, that someone has already thrown it loose in the same place where they store their banking information. Oh well, lessons will be learned about containers.

Considering the AG demanded the voter rolls for MN to remove ICE it becomes obvious what game is being played. It’s a shame the USA is a terrible place.

Prepare Canada and Greenland, you can see the standard American right wing response to unchecked war mongering right here.

On a technology note, anyone got any bets on which company gets all the free loot? Did Erik Prince rebrand for the fiftieth time? Seems like he’d be a safe bet.

I agree - you have to treat them like juniors and provide the same context you would someone who is still learning. You can’t assume it’s correct but where it doesn’t matter it is a productivity improvement. The vast majority of the code I write doesn’t even go into production so it’s fantastic for my usage.

I’m using 4o and it gets time wrong a decent chunk but doesn’t get anything else in the prompt incorrect. I asked for the clock to be 4:30 but got 10:10. OpenAI pro account.

Yup, those with capital are the only ones positioned during times of chaos to take advantage of the situation.

Interesting, it begs the question. Why block a small monetary pay out to the citizens when they have green lit a multi trillion dollar tax cut for those of us with wealth? Fiscal conservationism seems to be conveniently and selectively used.

You have a stance that would be unfair to ask you to explain via HN. Instead I’ll just ask, what’s a good starting point for understanding why you think the government needs to be unraveled? Libertarianism or something akin to anarcho-capitalism?

Is there much value in being clearer? The republicans vote in lockstep with limited exceptions for vanity votes. They haven’t deviated from that under the existing administration. There’s not much value in pretending fiscal policy is at the root of their plan. It’s fairly transparent in its efforts to privatize government to enrich those in positions to capitalize on it.

Perhaps you’d find Stephen Grossbergs models on how the ADHD brain processes information interesting. I can’t disagree that ADHD might be too wide an umbrella and I find the medicine is best taken on an as needed basis to augment other coping mechanisms.

They used the TOVA test to diagnose mine. It measures what part of the attention paradigm may be deficient or overactive. AFAIK that test isn’t purely subjective.

It’s the click on the letter test supervised by a psychiatrist for my diagnosis.

Small dumb things stop being a valid excuse when they have material impacts on other individuals. Your right to fuck around stops when it impacts me.

They are eluding to it not being secure against state actors. The distrust in government isn’t novel to this discussion so it should come as no surprise on HN. There is also a general fear of censorship which should be held more toward the base model owners and not toward cloud providers. I still think doing this in the cloud makes more sense initially but I see the appeal for a home model that is decoupled from the wider ecosystem.
