Actually people recommend products they like to friends all the time. For example, here's you recommending a random windows feature[1].

They're unrelated. Groq = chip company, Grok = model by x.ai.

How so? Covid was a problem until we had a vaccine. I would describe covid as a good example of where the social/political solutions basically failed.

What’s the biggest problem we’ve solved in the last 30 years through addressing our social and political deficiencies?

IMO, if you haven’t been getting a significant productivity boost from LLMs in a technical field, it’s because you lack the basic brain plasticity to adapt to new tools, or feel so psychologically threatened by change that you act like you do.

GPU efficiency numbers in a real production environment are similar.

Your home setup is much less efficient than production inference in a data center. Open source implementation of SDXL-Lightning runs at 12 images a second on TPU v5e-8, which uses ~2kW at full load. That’s 170J or about 1/400th the phone charge.

This is an extremely obvious fake.

Here’s a description of the actual manifesto from the NYT:

> The 262-word handwritten manifesto that the police found on Luigi Mangione begins with the writer appearing to take responsibility for the murder, according to a senior law enforcement official who saw the document. It notes that as UnitedHealthcare’s market capitalization has grown, American life expectancy has not. “To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” he wrote. The note condemns companies that “continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it.”

> The handwritten manifesto found on Mangione contained the passages “These parasites had it coming” and “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done,” according to a senior law enforcement official who saw the document.

The extensions display an estimate based on how many of the extension's users disliked the video. Youtube doesn't expose an API for getting the exact dislike count, except to the creator of the video.

> Unbelievably saddened by the loss of my dear friend @SusanWojcicki after two years of living with cancer. She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it’s hard to imagine the world without her. She was an incredible person, leader and friend who had a tremendous impact on the world and I’m one of countless Googlers who is better for knowing her. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts with her family. RIP Susan.

It fell out of favor because it lost the density advantage in newer processes.

To save a couple clicks, here’s the main context linked in the article:

“Per X, the MrBeast video is technically not an undisclosed ad. There is a pre-roll ad for Shopify in the video, which is labeled as such. X boosts posts containing pre-roll ads, but because the post itself is not the ad, it doesn't have the label.”

All of the top 3 cities are places with a low official population and a large working population - Eglin's official pop is 2.8k, but has 80k workers. It's the "most Reddit addicted" city because of an obvious statistical artifact.

No, I’m saying pay for new openings is flat. I just went through a job search, the numbers in the level.fyi data match my own job search experience looking at current openings.

Not even remotely true. Levels.fyi says SWE salaries are basically flat over the last year, which matches my experience.

In the news articles I’ve read, it says the vehicle was kept in place at the request of the police. Can you explain why that was the wrong thing to do?

Probably because one word replies come across as low effort. IMO your second reply is great.
