congrats on the launch, agentic testing makes a lot of sense.

how does this fit in to fixing the bugs? how do we close the loop with the agents we have coding?

I’ve been caseless for a while and have had a couple of drops and the phone has been fine. When I eventually upgrade my phone, I’ll probably stay caseless, or add minimal protection. Mainly cause if the increasingly rare catastrophic drop happens, it’d be unpleasant to deal with.

I do like some cases for their design elements, I might use one to just further personalize my phone.

I wouldn’t say I trust ChatGPT without verification yet, but it definitely accelerates me by generating good enough code for me to quickly debug.

I am a much faster debugger than a from scratch generator, so ChatGPT/etc helps accelerate me through those moments even when I know exactly what I want to write.

This makes it useful enough a tool to use anytime I’m writing code

I don’t know anything about the algorithm, but my dumb lizard brain take is that I often find comfort in watching the same stuff again. Whenever a 3blue1brown video pops up in my feed again, it’s like seeing an old friend and I’ll watch to the end again.

I can think of many videos like this, that pop up in a feed after many years and you’ll see the comments like “see y’all again in a year when the algorithm brings this back” or “I always click when this video is recommended”.

I have several friends who’ll rewatch whole shows again and again for a similar reason. There’s the comfort of something familiar.

So I guess I don’t mind when youtube does this

This sounds awful. I honestly don’t know my mom’s birthday and perhaps interestingly she doesn’t technically know it either. Papers lost (and probably made up) multiple times when her family fled her home and then country before ending up here.

And she definitely has a birthday on her driver’s license now, but I think she might have to look at it to make sure she got it right.

I think that’s 6 out of 100 instead of 1/6

I think it would cover interest rate risk because an increase in rates causes bond value to decrease, implying the bonds SVB held lose value and they would not be able to cover capital.

And if they have to value it appropriately every quarter, the issue likely would have been seen earlier and maybe they could have changed their positions as the rates were rising instead of being in a hole and trying to do it all at once.

At least I think that’s how the regulations might have worked here.

For what it’s worth, the book this article is based on explicitly talks about these two different responsibilities and why a manager (by title) will always have to do both in some capacity.

And the amount of each responsibility a manager holds varies depending on level, like a “Director of Engineering” will be more on the “leadership” side setting direction but they still need “management” of their direct reports (other engineering managers or managers of managers), whereas an “Engineering Manager” will likely spend more time in “management” at the service of their team of IC engineers.

Down 80% from IPO but with a market cap above 10 billion. Compared to when YC invested I think that’s still pretty good

That link doesn’t indicate “accumulating evidence that they have no effect”, and the link explicitly states “it would be imprudent to recommend the removal of facemasks from surgery”.

It is a literature review that didn’t find strong evidence for surgical mask effectiveness more because it hasn’t been researched deeply. And it notes that the absence of evidence does not indicate ineffectiveness of surgical masks, and rather a more significant research trial would have to be performed (and there were caveats to the feasibility of doing that as well).

Specific quotes from that article:

“What literature that is available on the subject tends to be dated with poorly explained methodology. There is also uncertainty over whether the results of such studies can be extrapolated to current surgical practice given the advent of new antiseptic techniques since they were completed.”

“It is clear that more studies are required before any absolute conclusions can be drawn regarding the effectiveness or, indeed, ineffectiveness of surgical masks. The published literature does suggest that it may be reasonable to further examine the need for masks in contemporary surgical practice given the interests of comfort, budget constraints and potential ease of communication, although any such study would undoubtedly have to be large and well controlled to prove causality given the low event frequency of surgical site infections.”

“It is important not to construe an absence of evidence for effectiveness with evidence for the absence of effectiveness. While there is a lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of facemasks, there is similarly a lack of evidence supporting their ineffectiveness. With the information currently available, it would be imprudent to recommend the removal of facemasks from surgery. Instead, in the medical field where common practice can so easily become dogma, it is necessary to recognise the constant need to maintain a healthy scepticism towards established beliefs and to periodically re-evaluate and critically assess their scientific merit.”
