Well, equity vesting can be one reason to stick around and underperform

Exactly! It is your responsibility, like it or not. That’s what the money’s for!

Definitely feels more like a brand building exercise than anything else…

My point is more that non-functional infotainment on one single flight is just simply nowhere near enough data to judge a whole organization.

It’s wildly unrealistic to expect maintenance to fix 100.0% of issues, and to fix them immediately at that. There’s a balance to be struck with on-time performance that will naturally prioritize safety critical maintenance while postponing cosmetic repairs until they can be performed without schedule pressure.

I mean, I think OpenAI really opened themselves up to being singled out when they framed this as being about, like, promoting democracy when it’s clearly just a cash grab.

Actually, I think if you set your referrer to boardreader.com and reload the page, the host might serve you a summary

Easily true if you include all the content he is constantly producing for X

TARP also… made money for taxpayers?

Yes, exactly - my (admittedly very limited!) experience has consistently generated well-written, working code that just doesn’t quite do what I asked. Often the results will be close to what I expect, and the coding errors do not necessarily jump out on a first line-by-line pass, so if I didn’t have a high degree of skepticism of the generated code in the first place, I could easily just run with it.

"Jeff has the unfortunate task of following a legend. It's like being a baseball player and following Babe Ruth." - Jack Welch, 2001

God that’s insufferable, even by Jack Welch’s standards.

Hopefully enough to afford another specially commissioned landscape by acclaimed painter Vincent van Gogh or a signed first edition by revered scriptwriter William Shakespeare

That'd actually only be about 1-10 gallons, or about 6-60 pounds. Regardless, I'd guess it's probably only <500g CO2.

Well at a high level, ADAS and normal law both basically function as a way to remove the steady state effort of steering, allowing the driver/pilot to focus solely on fine corrections. You can still avoid potholes, overtake cars, etc., when ADAS is on but that’s the majority of your inputs.

I think really the biggest difference between the two systems is that ADAS does not abstract away nearly so many actions. Once direct mode is activated, obviously you suddenly have to start doing all the low-frequency yoke movement, but then you also need to work rudders to coordinate your turns, trim control surfaces, etc., etc., and if you are unaware that the mode has changed then it is not going to go well.

Think of normal mode more like adaptive cruise control with lane keeping. When everything works, it’s much easier to control the car, but if the data necessary to feed the control laws go bad, the car has to drop back to the regular old gas/brake + steering wheel (i.e., direct mode) or it may crash. Getting the handover right is obviously tricky though.

In this case, if your IMU or airspeed data looks bad, your attitude estimate can’t be relied on and you can’t be certain that any derived values you’re controlling to are valid or stable. Current designs assume the best course of action in those cases is to hand control over to the pilot.

FWIW my nearest DCFC, the Electrify America station at my local Walmart, charges $0.56/kWh.

Well, 2.3% of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences. I would bet that, say, the business school has a slightly different makeup…

Okay that is very fair. But civil penalties do still likely mean you can claw a good amount of your money back if you catch the fraud quickly enough.

In every deal, there’s a lot of trust involved leading up to closing that neither side is full of shit. Post-close, though, there is just no world in which a scam like this is not going to be (eventually) found out, and obviously there are legal remedies for that.

I feel like this is, roughly speaking, the system working as intended: Minimal friction to avoid slowing down the 99.9% of deals that don’t involve fraud, and reasonable deterrence for the remaining 0.1%. I’m sure there are lots of ways to prevent deals like this from closing in the first place, but I doubt most are worth the cost.

I have always felt the same way - this article at The Verge is the only thing I’ve ever thought has gotten close:

To pick one little item, it’s pretty basic knowledge that the left doesn’t just broadly want taxes, we want progressive taxation. Tariffs are regressive.

Because it knocks out the fat, obviously

Yes, and similarly to increase the efficiency of our healthcare system, I suppose doctors should have to get good at also doing their own billing, janitorial, etc.

A car with similar range but a physically smaller battery would be cheaper and lighter; also, faster charging is always nice.

Imagine trying to do absolutely anything with weekly status emails from like 2% of the US working population!

I assume this is just a way to find the truest believers and fire the rest.

I think the comment you’re replying to was just noting that, according to Derek’s read on it, paxlovid may not reduce the risk of long covid in low-risk patients.

Ha, wow I’ve seen plenty of SAR images from MUCH more expensive systems that don’t look nearly as good. Incredible stuff here.

But the point of an endowment is to have a relatively stable funding stream in perpetuity - if you start dipping into the principal, the funding stream starts shrinking and is no longer perpetual.

Harvard’s endowment, for example, already funds a little less than 40% of its budget, and should be able to continue doing so indefinitely. If you bump that to even, say, 50% there’s a good chance it won’t have any endowment (or funding stream!) at all in the year 2100.

Aha, 4th power of axle load - that makes more sense. Thanks!
