Fourth, these hundreds of solved problems are the result of OpenAI attempting tens of thousands of problems and failing. When you hear claims that the average result took about 3 hours of model time, I simply do not believe it. If you account for all the time spend properly, it's probably orders of magnitude more.

The runtime looks very weird. The +2 can and should be dropped. This reduces my confidence that the bound is tight. Who knows how the model came up with that expression.

run them in a VM that doesn't have git installed. Sandboxing these things is a good idea anyways.

The biggest problem with Electric is the battery weight, so it makes sense.

Ships deliberately use cheaper, less energy dense petroleum products (heavy fuel oil), for pretty much the inverse reasons why airplanes use kerosene.

This is a problem with the (lack of) environmental laws in many countries. All things considered, landfills are really cheap.

No, people get ill from excessive quantities of alcohol.

Something assumed to be true without proof.

Think of it as one layer of abstraction above the model under discussion. Like a hyperparameter. In later years, students get taught the same topics again, with the hyperparameter tuned to be more realistic.

not the OP, but I think they meant to imply that the AU government is grifting. It does look like attaching a $520k bill to the man's freedom. Totally not part of the punishment...

Yeah, when I visited down there I initially misinterpreted what the "CBD bakery" was selling... xD

In this case, they're vaguely gesturing towards the "money being better spent elsewhere", instead of making a cost-benefit analysis including the time value of money.

Do you see how the argument is overly general? You can use it to shoot down anything that's not immediately useful. It's especially silly at the level of nations, which can obtain money much more easily than a random individual. Cash flow is much less of a problem at that level. The way it's phrased exploits people's tendency of thinking about a nation's budget like their own household budget, only bigger.

Not defending the overall claim, but there's a plausible reason why being underwater matters: the mammalian diving reflex. Holding your breath on land is not the same.

> instead of knowing there was bias

Why do you automatically assume this? Might be related to why people wanted to hide these numbers.

or still do it, but know that YC's incentives and yours are pointing in different directions. Sometimes taking their advice is good for both of you, sometimes it is only good for them.
