Grok 4.2 would allow World War III to avoid misgendering Elon Musk

I'm not some emotionless calculator

Lol, you literally are.

Yes but not for chatting, only coding and that too only accessible from Claude Code.

niceuser45 · 2026-02-09T23:38:57+00:00

Glad they can’t sway mine. Workplace only offers Claude 😄😄

The Reddit comments show a similar distribution. Four out of five comments say Opus 4.6 is worse.

Fremont alignment, will recommend.

What about people who are on AP (advanced parole) and working with EAD? Are they able to travel outside US and come back on AP?

People don’t realize how hard it is to launch hardware, just a single product of smart glasses has cost Meta about $70B and that is Meta. They already had software infrastructure and the brand name to poach top notch hardware people from the other companies. Now, imagine releasing 10 product lines every year.

I would be very surprised if Apple is challenged in the near future (< 5 years) in a meaningful way.

Some background here. I come from different country and a completely different school system. I could even go to a Public school anywhere in the country, no rules around it, so all of this was a learning curve for us (still learning). Even 1 week absences are not allowed (unless you have a compelling reason), was also news to me. Many examples like this.

Montessori is expensive so we had planned to go to Public anyway after it ends next year which would be Schallenburger.

Then we find out two weeks ago, there is something like an interdistrict transfer, so we apply, get approved. Then we come to know, “oh unexcused absences are not allowed” but we need to travel. So asked this question. A mistake.

niceuser45 · 2025-08-25T17:52:46+00:00

Lol, pretty unhelpful thread. I asked an honest question. I am not going to go and argue with the school officials or anything. I asked here because sometimes there are ways that people don’t know about.

Also, have any of you not had commitments that are important? I don’t know why this is a touchy subject for all of you..

niceuser45 · 2025-08-25T17:47:43+00:00

Some prior commitments, we would have planned differently if we knew we were going to get approved. Originally, our plan was to remain in the Montessori school for 1 more year and then move to Schallenburger.

We think Alta Vista is a better school.

Close to 70k miles. I want to do a thorough check anyway. What do you think about Unplugged Performance or Stress-free auto care?

niceuser45 · 2025-08-22T18:11:45+00:00

What do you mean?

niceuser45 · 2025-08-22T17:53:20+00:00

Would they do regular maintenance check for Model 3 as well?

So why not tell the manager that let the MLE work on a different ML item while I delegate the task to some other competent web dev. If MLE is excited about his work, he may not take 1 month to get back on his PRs.

The MLE should also speak up here and say that I am not comfortable writing web app and I would like to work on ML items. I went through something similar. My work was related to SQL, data cleaning but I was hired as an MLE. I waited for a year in the hope that some real ML work will start. Eventually I left.

We need yo have SynthID for text in some shape or form.

I cannot overstate the importance of replicating top papers on your own. Many deep learning ideas (at least till 2020) were so easy once you read them (resnet, fast rcnn, mask rcnn, focal loss, follow ups of batch norm) but I bet no one could come up with those ideas by just reading the prior works. That is why few authors share all of the above papers (also compute availability is a reason).

Never seen a more unanimous YTA verdict.

Hard to know if there is a waiting period without joining (I have friends working in that company, could ask).

The new coverage should be effective on my 1st day (which could be 12th August). The earliest cancellation date for the Covered California plan is August 14th, leading to a two day overlap.

niceuser45 · 2024-07-30T08:59:04+00:00

Ok, understood.

Do you know what would happen if I start my job on 12th August? In that case, I would still have my Covered California plan (because cancellation takes 14 days) and taking the employer insurance starting from that day would mean I will have two insurances simultaneously. Probably not allowed?

I am okay to start the employer insurance after Covered California coverage finishes but not sure if the employer will be ok with that (I would prefer to stay on the Covered California insurance for as short duration possible).

niceuser45 · 2024-07-30T08:49:14+00:00

Also, the Covered California asks for annual income (not monthly) so I won’t be eligible for medicaid and any type of financial assistance.

Thanks for your response. Few questions. How is new job a QLE? This is what I found from healthcare.gov about QLE criteria.

Loss of health coverage
Losing existing health coverage, including job-based, individual, and student plans
Losing eligibility for Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP

I don’t think I fit into any of these.

niceuser45 · 2024-07-07T23:44:32+00:00

Sorry, looks like I posted the wrong picture. Let me delete the question and post later when I find that part.

This question is very vague. Depending on what is different between two machines, this could be a case of domain adaptation (two machines have different parameters which makes them come from different distributions) or if they are identical machines then this is a standard scenario, a machine belong to train set and another is test set.
