An update on the research reliability (SRE) team and tmu at OpenAI: https://t.co/Wthd4NPv68

(yes, that kind of update). :-)

I don't often use twitter but it is something of a habit/fetish of some people so thought it would be useful to post here as well.

@ShriramKMurthi It's not happy. Wishing someon "easy fast" is ok. Certainly not happy. It's not supposed to be.

@McJeff (obligatory: Surprised this site is still on. Came here to check one specific thing and here this was).

I was there recently. It's all weird, anti-city hype. SF is fine. I was in Union Square, the mission and even walked through Civic Center at night. Fine. No poop. Few drugs.

Now I want all my favorite shows in lots of languages. In particular, I want all my Latin American news/commentary in English/Spanish both! I used to do translation so I know how hard it is, but I don't care. I want it. @LatinoUSA : ¿que creen ustedes? @Maria_Hinojosa @julito77

He estado escuchando la 2nda temporada de L Brega de @AlanaLlama . Coño, quánto me encata. Para Boricuas y les demás. Escúchanlo:

(Amazing podcast about Puerto Rico that's also in English for the rest of you).

@brettabecker @ShriramKMurthi @gohar94 @Joel_Emer @vivsze I'll be honest: I've seen careful analysts publishing extremely detailed estimates of the "cost per query" for stuff I know relatively well many times. The most recent one I saw was off by a factor of 10. It doesn't matter in which direction, just that it was that far off. YMMV

[todd underwood @tmu]

@ShriramKMurthi @gohar94 @Joel_Emer @vivsze Also on the specific question: most of us who could tell you can't tell you. :)

[todd underwood @tmu]

@ShriramKMurthi @gohar94 @Joel_Emer @vivsze Also depends on where the energy comes from. Google as a whole has been carbon neutral including all datacenter power since 2007. Microsoft has pledges to become carbon negative (not sure progress). In general, power analyses here ignore this.

@woodyatpch @jtodd How many containers do they have? Front loaders? I'm just not sure how they'll keep him interested.

@anxiousears @geekitarian @EricYager3 No. No no. No. Also no.

@funkwit Are you claiming some second law nonsense about momentum?

[todd underwood @tmu]

@samdavidson @profgalloway This is just the multi-decade trend of Bowling Alone, right? https://t.co/bDznL5yhfN Nothing really new here.

[todd underwood @tmu]

@chwolfson Even more important: disabled voters can designate someone to cure the ballot for them! There's a form at the same website.

@JanePitt We used to have Yo. We can revive it as Yoy.

[todd underwood @tmu]

@funkwit @isosteph Anyone want to revive Yo for realz?

[todd underwood @tmu]

@funkwit @isosteph Yo.

[todd underwood @tmu]

@Dr_Tammy_Landau not me! :-)

[todd underwood @tmu]

It's incredible and humbling that people are reading the book that we wrote. I sincerely hope it is useful and that when we fall short that we are able to learn from that.

We're super happy to support book clubs reading it.

Thanks, @sophiamyang !

[Sophia Yang, Ph.D. @sophiamyang]
