Having thought about it, I wonder if Klein, Ferris and maybe some of the others were there to give talks.

Interesting to see that the progressive journalist Ezra Klein was in attendance. Also Kaja Kallas. Not quite sure what to make of that.

I was a diehard spaces-over-tabs person until I saw this scene in Silicon Valley. I had rather naively assumed that the tab-indent default in emacs was an oversight rather than a considered decision. This scene actually educated me.

It raises an interesting moral question:

If an un-guardrailed version of a model is capable of detecting security flaws, should it be kept secret? Should everybody be able to use these models to find (and fix) security flaws? Are we ok with the fact that those with access to that model have, in effect, the ability to hack lots of stuff?

What I actually want is a no-tech, half-price, electric car with a long range.

Personally I find that every llm I use is unable to consistently identify the latest npm version numbers of the node packages that I use.

> The entire AI industry has been (not so secretly) paying a lot of experts in many fields to generate large amounts of novel training data. Novel training data that isn't found anywhere else--they hoard it--and which could actually contain original ideas.

Really? Any references to read more?

Can confirm that this is the one and only reason that we use Claude through AWS

Agreed- node/npm are exceptionally well run and designed. Personally I also prefer the non-TypeScriptiness.

Reminder that New York Airways used to operate helicopter flights to the top of the Pan Am building until a 1977 accident killed five people.

I'm missing some context here: Why do we want to extract strontium nitrate anyway?
