This would have been true until ~50-200 years ago, and the advent of modern capital markets. Now, credit is center stage and cash is the sideshow.

Say I'm a lab.

I train a new model. I publish my training data and my training code/workflow.

I then secretly do additional post-training to poison it. I do not release the data or workflow for this.

Now, I publish the poisoned weights and an md5 hash of the poisoned weights.

To you, the user - you have no way of knowing this happened.

You might ask "why not publish intermediate training checkpoints" but those are nondeterministic (in the sense of being not bitwise-reproducible). Anything with shuffling, random initialization, distributed races, driver versions changing roundoff, compiled vs. eager, and a million other factors introduce slight differences that yield totally different training trajectories. So publishing checkpoints does not yield verifiability.

This is not a constructive way to engage with people. Please reply in good faith on HN - there are other platforms if you prefer otherwise.

$5 does not make sense, and there must be some qualifer on that we're missing.

Napkin math:

(27 minute flight) * (25000 lbm TOGW) * (Earth gravity) / (~10 average L/D) * (160 KTAS average) / (70% propulsive efficiency) / (97% coulombic efficiency) * ($50/MWh) = $30

(Add residual kinetic energy upon landing too)

Side note: Heart also has a weight issue here they'll need to overcome if they want to certify under FAR Part 23 (as their 19-pax spec implies); TOGW limit for that is 19,000 lbm.

There is a word for that. It is "heaviest", not "largest".

> Largest Electric Aircraft

"Largest" is just straight-up a false claim. [Solar Impulse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Impulse) and [Helios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroVironment_Helios_Prototype...) were electric and had over double the wingspan, just to name a few of the ~dozen examples.

Heart's engineers should be proud of this genuinely impressive accomplishment, but they need to rein in whoever is writing their PR pieces.

`uv sync --upgrade`? It's in the docs

Why use this over Equinox's Module, plus jaxtyping? That seems like the cleaner (and more established) solution, but maybe there are pros/cons I'm not seeing.

Seriously going to use AI to write a reply that would take you 30 seconds?

Thank you for the kind words! :)

This is a desperation move from the LLM providers here. Just think: if you were Sam Altman, and you actually had strong evidence that practical AGI was as imminent as claimed - would you be spending your time building AI-slop TikTok and a smut bot?
