Don't forget "Lt Col. commissions will be bought."

>They are literally there to sell their products (and brag about "having served").

Gets you free priority boarding on all flights you take.


Some airline someday is going to figure out that if you guarantee overhead luggage space, people will pay more to get on the plane last instead of first.

I've long thought this for economy tickets.

But if you really want to pay more, and are flying on higher fares, getting on the plane first turns back into a perk cause you get some free booze. And your seat is now more comfortable than the airport seats (even many airport lounge seats, where the best seats can go quickly when it's busy).


First class effectively has guaranteed overhead space, and you still see them boarding first so they can get champagne.

Not sure it’s relevant in the cloths these guys take

Does this count as "Bought Valor?"

Kevin Weil, that tracks...


Are they buying their position?

Yes.

Get those sweet "Veteran" plates.

Get those sweet "Veteran" plates.

In my state that only requires a DD-214 with honorable discharge and $50.


Yappy one?

Inertia.


I don't agree. What do you think enterprises should be using instead?

C# and that ecosystem is much more Windows-focused, which makes it quite unsuitable for server development in general. Go is the last dying gasp of 1970s programmers who can't let go of explicit pointer management and Tony Hoare's notorious billion dollar mistake. JavaScript and Typescript are not serious contenders except in the browser.

That starts to leave more niche languages. Languages such as Rust and Haskell, much as I love them personally, are not viable for the average enterprise developer.

The widespread use of Java in enterprises is far more than simply inertia. It's probably one of the more rational choices that those companies have collectively made.


They pulled Jared Isaacman because it was revealed he had donated to Democrats.


That was their excuse. But they probably knew it already upfront, and of course Trump himself has done so and obviously knows that rich people donate to both parties just to cover their bases and that it means relatively little.

I think it's more likely that Jared was pulled at the suggestion of some staffers that never liked him or Musk in the first place but weren't able to get their way with Trump as long as Musk was still around.


Nah thats bait and the simple answer. Nothing to do with musk it was all known before the relations. Space was not ready for Jared and it denied him. Wonder why? Well if you do a little digging you will see he has some really bad news about him. Like no person on Earth would want to work with him when they listen to what comes out of his mouth. I wonder if there are recordings of him there sure is a book of his actions.


Basically they pulled a fast one on Musk, who believed that with his giant (300$ million give or take) donation would be able to get his preferred candidate to NASA.

The fact that he was quite competent and generally liked doesn’t matter to Trump, who seems set on defunding NASA and having someone there who won’t complain.


They knew that from the start. He pretty much said himself it was a retaliation in the Musk/Trump situation.


That's pretty amusing, considering Trump spent decades as a NY Democrat.


Rules for thee, not for me.


Elon too, until 2022.


>It basically gives you patch-files instead of printing out the whole code

I've noticed on the Aider leaderboard that Google Gemini Pro has an "Edit Format" listed as "diff-fenced" and things like ChatGPT have "architect" edit format where Aider asks separate "architect" and "code" models. Seems like Gemini Pro prefers the diff format.


I met a Googler when I was in Dubai for an event and he shared that he and others had access to LLMs internally for many years before it was made popular by OpenAI.

I know Google has an internal AI everything policy, maybe they internally have awesome tools to rearchitect everything based on diffs and in the typical google way they adapted it to their own internal tools. You know, Google.. like they don't give a damn about the user, the product design or actually anything other than profit/roi.

So many great discontinued products.. I think they killed RSS.


The diff-fenced is iirc specific to Gemini models, they really don’t like the file path outside of the fence. The architect mode still uses one of the other edit format, the prompt just ends up a little different.


Maybe they optimized for one of their TREEE SOLUTIONS:

- https://Jules.google

- NotebookLm

- GoogleCollab

How can a company have 3 contenders to Windsurf and Cursor, which are VSCode forks with a little sugarcoating and not make any impact?? The CPO should be fired.

I think also after seeing Google Gemini's Video that their entire department is now fully Indian, including the CEO. If that isn't racially biased, then idk. See yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GO7bPb5cTA&t=2270s


Sounds like an amazing attack vector if your prompts get mixed with other's.


I don't know why you're so insistent that anybody who can't tolerate CPAP its a titration or fitment issue. I've talked to people who have loads of interaction with sleep doctors, mask fitment specialists, trying different CPAP/AutoPAP/BiPAP/auto-titration settings and I'm one of them. I'm glad medical science is pursuing other treatments that can help the 40% who can't tolerate CPAP and maybe help some of those who don't want to be tethered to a machine every night.


Because it usually is an issue of titration or mask fit.

There are some cases of people have complex sleep apnea, or having awfully non-compliant airways that require uncomfortably high pressures. But the vast majority of people can tolerate PAP just fine.

There are certainly improvements to be made. And thankfully some of them are being worked on (e.g. VCOM or KPAP). And some people could benefit from bilevel or even ASV, and it's a shame that those are often way harder to get. But even if we're being generous, the article's suggestion of 22% of patients who can get by on just the drugs is incredibly underwhelming compared to PAP.


>Because it usually is an issue of titration or mask fit.

I think it may be in some cases, but not the majority. Talking to my sleep doctor recently I don't think she thinks so either. She starts everyone out on AutoPAP with 5-20 ramp as the standard now. Either way I think people who can't tolerate CPAP will welcoming having a drug as an option before more extreme measures like the Inspire device and Maxillomandibular advancement.
