@ilyasu model releases remind me of being a kid, getting excited when the DX2-66 came out

@ElliotGlazer This sounds a bit like your computer running out of memory. Are you running Lean by any chance?

@AlexKontorovich there’s probably something really cool and mathematical you could do in the Sphere in Vegas

@ONagel33303 @3blue1brown It’s no 3b1b

[Kevin Lacker @lacker]

@3blue1brown @ONagel33303 We need a good video explainer for every single lesson in K-12 math education. You personally are never going to be able to scale that far. Even if the AI gets to "50% as good as 3b1b" that would lead to a lot of great things.

@typesfast my 6th grade daughter was not large enough to play her preferred instrument, the baritone sax

@arram I think the dynamics would be quite different in a world with many earrings. I imagine hundreds of early adopters, lauding how great the earring has been for them

@davidmanheim @TheZvi @adamvsteele The alternative is just using the Chinese models that don't security-reject. In practice I find that even with Daybreak access it will still sometimes refuse to fix security bugs.

@Mercuriusdream @adamvsteele @TheZvi yeah I've run into this as well

[Kevin Lacker @lacker]

@thePartyPartyUS @TheZvi @adamvsteele If it's too annoying then use OpenCode + GLM for your cybersecurity work. That model is pretty good and doesn't seem to reject anything

@jhong We just aren't spending the money it takes to compete nowadays.

@m0nle0z It just swaps the view

[Kevin Lacker @lacker]

The UI behavior on https://t.co/AHpkJC3xsD is strange right now. If you have a browser tab open in "Codex", open a new tab, and click "Home" in that new tab, then it also switches the UI in your original tab.

@TheZvi @adamvsteele I did have to buy a yubikey so it was not a quick procedure

[Kevin Lacker @lacker]

@adamvsteele @TheZvi You probably can just get access. I did. It's more like applying for a passport, they make you jump through a bunch of verification hoops, it's not like you have to work for a cybersecurity org.

@devahaz I think the shift happened in 2010-2011. I did YC in both years and it changed, from "most people peninsula" to "most people SF". In 2011 nobody could find office space in Palo Alto any more, specifically because Palantir started renting tons of small offices.

@kavehmoini40387 @ilyasu more that, from the perspective of someone growing up in Cincinnati, there are a lot of reasons for Midwesterners to want to stay in the Midwest, and many of the people I grew up with had those reasons, and combined with the "ambition-based" ones you mention, ended up in Chicago
