Apparently, they've decided to go with "just not report the numbers."

That interview was unfortunately timed (taped before nomination, broadcast afterward). My takeaway was that they are not trying "just not report the numbers" _yet_.

Its not really dissimilar to sports like golf, gymnastics, track and field (the high jump), etc. I certainly believe there can be rivals in those sports, so I don't see why we'd exclude football QBs from this conversation.

That said, American football is altogether inferior to the real football.

Nah, soccer is real boring, would take American Football anyday.

The strategy department may be laughably bad, but at least with pitstops they've got it nailed down. They currently hold the fastest pitstop of the season [0] and they've been consistently faster than the rest of the field with pitstops so far.

Oh they're just waiting for the strategy team to get their act together.

Driving to the mountains is often more dangerous than climbing a mountain. Things change at the elite levels, but that is true for any sport.
temp_praneshp · 4 months ago
In the context of the article, instead of your parent comment, this sounds like a weak excuse. Is driving to the Huascarán mountains (and it's ilk) more dangerous than climbing it?

>Chime also allows a meeting to start before (or even without) the host attending. How often have you had a meeting scheduled by senior leader, then they get pulled away and everyone is stuck in the virtual waiting room and end up coordinating/meeting in Slack instead? With Chime, the meeting starts anyway and the host can join when (if) they become available.

Not sure about other videoconferencing services but I never had this issue with zoom.

temp_praneshp · 6 months ago
I'm almost sure this is a pretty common Zoom feature, I have run into this at least once a month the last 6-7 years.

IMO, it's less a Zoom problem, and more a setting on the host's side problem. Same category as "guest cannot move a meeting invite unless explicitly allowed to" on google calendar.

Can you share the date and the flight number? It would be great to map which aircraft had bedbugs.
temp_praneshp · 8 months ago
We took TK 79 on Oct 5 2024.

Also, my search brought up this final response from Turkish, which infuriated me enough that I wanted to share:

"Thank you for your feedback.

At Turkish Airlines, we strive to provide all our passengers with the best flying experience possible and to make them feel valued at every stage of their journey. As giving our passengers who choose us on their travels the service they deserve and delivering this excellently are among our priority targets, we again have experienced how important your feedback is.

We took a Turkish Airlines flight in September (IST-SFO), and the seats were teeming with bedbugs (as in, multiple passengers were able to visually point them out when we were still boarding).

Some passengers were able to switch to other seats, while multiple others broke out in hives (including my wife). The cabin staff were polite and understanding, but once we landed, escalating to Turkish airlines was pretty useless. We've filed a case with the DOT which got the airline to respond.

Glad the media is covering this, we heard from multiple folks that this has been a problem.

temp_praneshp commented on Building Effective "Agents"   anthropic.com/research/bu... · Posted by u/jascha_eng

Yes, our previous lead dev built a lot of our infra using LangGraph. I've been slowly ripping it out since assuming ownership of this part of the codebase.

I've been replacing LangGraph with simple primitives, relying on native Python constructs, etc. For example, instead of building this verbose graph of computation with LangGraph, you can just...call functions in the order you want them. Or declare them async, add them to a list, then await the resolution of all of them.

For a time I was maintaining a spreadsheet of all the refactor PRs, and I had a cumulative reduction of over 1,000 lines of code from these changes. Eventually I stopped keeping track.

^ That's a 1K LOC reduction with no functionality changes. I feel pretty strongly that LangChain/LangGraph are a net negative for our use case.

temp_praneshp · 8 months ago
So all you achieved from a spreadsheet's worth of PRs was a 1k LoC reduction?

Why do people feel the need to jump in and police tone like this? Who are you? You're not doing yourself any favours, either.

>common literary technique to emphasize a point.

"Common" is a stetch, and who cares.
