Thanks! I think those could all be good heuristics.

One thing that plagues [insert current FAANG] is the large amount of corpus knowledge that is outdated/misleading or just plain wrong. I'm curious how this addresses that if it's deriving the reward function from the corpus itself.

This is quite the claim (and I'm not saying you are wrong from making it).

I just would have expected some of these institutions to be better.

Is there a situation in which your smarthome taking 30s to recover from a node failure is impacting your life? Seems like a distinction without a difference

I think an interesting point here is there is no substantial difference between allocated vacation days if you work for the government or a private employer. One would think the government would set a good example.

Doesn't stop charlatans from creating startups promising to make it work :)

> Notifications between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. also stop without parental consent, and it’s not clear how that works with travel or time zones.

It just doesn't. These fucking morons writing these laws are just pro-surveillance state. That's all they care about.

Reading Postgres queuing posts always seem like deja vu. People love to write about them

It will surely be a tough sell. It will be very expensive (comparatively), and most travelers won't even want to do it. There's a reason Ethiad is so successful on these kinds of flights because their hub creates a natural stopping point halfway.

As the country exited COVID, mainline carriers began to really push their basic and barebones fares which directly took away business from ULCCs like Spirit. Spirit never really leveraged their credit cards effectively to help subsidize the cost of seats.

ULCCs thrive when they can maximize their time in the sky across as many different flights as possible. Filling up the day with many different flights allows them to rake in checked-baggage fees, reserved seat fees etc more often than longer mainline carrier flights. All of this went out the window when a large portion of their A320 fleet was grounded because of the P&W engine issues. This absolutely killed their utilization percentage.

Spirit died way more because of business management than it did because customers didn't choose on price.

The real cost of air travel continues to go down as customers really only discriminate on price. Airlines have tried before to compete on other facets but everything failed.

The best you can do is look at specific carriers, and more importantly specifically what aircraft you'll be flying on.

A cross country flight in economy is going to be more comfortable in a Delta A220 than a United 737 Max. However, because of hubs and lack of competition many non-mega metros don't really have a large amount of choice.

The new Airbus Project Sunrise aircraft also set the record for longest passenger aircraft flight

Yep.

> We should crack down on industrial-scale distillation operations.

"We consume all intellectual property for our model but you cannot do the same"

This is a whole lot of words to say "we don't support open weight models".

It's so obvious they are hoping to regulate out their competition rather than compete

Rent Control is a settled topic in economics, bar some fringe theorists. It would be impossible for me to explain all the negative externalities that rent control has on both existing and new housing stock in a single comment. I implore you to do some academic reading.

The policies she chooses _results_ in the failure to implement them because the ideological obsession clouds rational judgement and it loses in court

> Mamdani explicitly campaigned on building more, especially housing

You can't claim to support building or improving housing while implementing rent freezes on 40ish% of all units in the city.

She also failed to secure wins when suing most big businesses because their strategy and evidentiary standards were subpar. Her ideological positions haven't really held up to court scrutiny.

Removing tiny pieces of red tape (a permit to sell ice cream) is a token gesture when he decided to install Lina Khan as Chair Of New York City Economic Development. Her entire reputation is built on being incredibly hostile to business.

General NIMBY-ism within the city combined with a ED chair who hates big business does not seem to bode well for the success of large projects.

Why are we writing articles about some random, single-event rental ad. What are we doing here?

The NYCHA is the largest slumlord in the city. The country has proven over decades that it cannot operate public housing with any measure of success.

You cut out the insurance middlemen but you introduce government bureaucracy.

There's absolutely no way the government operates more efficiency in this space.

Naive.

Anyone who modifies their car to "sound like a fire breathing dragon" is a mouth breathing loser.

The Nasdaq is a shit index to begin with. There are so many other options.

Hi there, how do you know Amazon's bond offering was "challenging"? Curious to learn more. Thank you.

Grid upgrades would have to happen no matter what. Data centers are just the catalyst and boogeyman at the moment.

This utopia that everyone has about electric cars will never come to fruition without grid upgrades.

This country has systematically underinvested and underdeveloped the electric grid for 50 years and now we are paying the price. It is a government failing.

The ability to make a case is directly related to how much free time you have and how much money you are able to spend.

We cannot just wave this away when the vast majority of people cannot take off time from work or afford to hire attorneys when their rights are violated.

> gas turbines would only be the rational choice about 5-15% of the time

Even at this rate, most rational homeowners would still push back. I absolutely do not want to be listening to gas turbines 10% of my life and I don't think people are NIMBY for holding that opinion.

I seriously can't believe all the commenters here advocating for mandated ability to spy on people
