I imagine it's the same foundation model on the 4 series, with Fable 5/Mythos being a new or upgraded foundation model. Then the point releases are fine-tuning plus post-training alignment with desired outcomes. The "thinki

This looks wonderful! After playing Cities Skylines 2 for the last week, all I can say is that as long as you have a half-decent traffic system, I'll be happy!

Plus the SUV is usually point-to-point, leave home, go to work, come back. Whereas the bus is going back and forth ten times per day. In Europe, the numbers differ even more. Lighter weight cars typically 1.5-2 tons, a new London bus can

I work on ML problems in the healthcare/life sciences area, anything that enhances explainability is helpful. To a regulator, it's not really good enough to point at a black box and say you don't know why it gave the wrong a

Oh god, the bad mocks are the worst. Try adding instructions not to make mocks and it creates "placeholders", ask it to not create mocks or placeholders and it creates "stubs". Drives me mad... To add to this list: - D

In the UK and a few other countries (Norway, Hungary, Canada, ???), EVs will have a green "flash" on the number plate. Makes it a bit easier to identify!

Forgive me if I find it somewhat difficult to take seriously an argument by a person judging progress on the Kardashev scale... You could pick some slightly less sci-fi measures like "number of trivially preventable deaths from disease

> Where did I mention being an amazing programmer? I mean... that's what the title and context of the discussion thread is all about?

Because an autistic person can be an amazing programmer? As could a blind person, a deaf person, etc... Simple accommodations can be made if needed and then there's no need to exclude people on old-fashioned prejudice.

In the specific case here, 7z is your friend for all zips and compressed files in general, not sure I've ever used unzip on Linux. Related to that, the Unix philosophy of simple tools that do one job and do it well, also applies here a

Seems to me like many research institutions, but well funded, attracting great talent and able to operate for a long timescale - they asked a lot of wrong questions too and we just highlight the great ones.

Big fan of DuckDB! Has saved us a number of times when having to deploy at a remote client with limited on-prem customisation for security reasons (ie. no to installing a big Postgres or other RDBMS solution). Powerful tooling; all local to

And don't forget that SpaceX had to sue the government/Boeing/Lockheed/ULA, multiple times, just in order to be allowed to compete for these contracts rather than having it locked down to the usual suspects.

Sure, but I've got serverless computing with Aurora v2. I've got upto 15 read replicas, blue/green deployments, upto 128 cores per replica at a cheaper price... I'm just not really thinking that a bit of branching will

Yeah that storage pricing is a killer. Given Aurora is $0.1/GB, I just wouldn't even consider this.

Was there anything else at Sensyne that could have been open-sourced and/or of value to the community? I may be in a position to open some of that up before it's lost.

Eh, Azure has a big delete button for any Subscription. Seen it happen and take down a production system. Thankfully they also must've realised this was a stupid button and provide a 90-day cooldown period on deleted subscriptions...

Exactly. I love the car in so many other ways that it just really makes some decisions stand out as ridiculous. Why try and skimp $50 manufacturing cost on stalks and sensors in a $50k vehicle when it's otherwise such a great car? Ul

Good. My Tesla doesn't have a stalk for wiper control and it's just awful UX. The auto function is erratic (often triggers on a sunny day, doesn't pick the right level in the rain). Might be fine for sunny California infreq

Yes, but that's still kinda crazy. One turbine every square km means you'd never be out of sight of a turbine anywhere in the country... No unspoilt views, no hilly (therefore windy) landscape untarnished, etc.

Biggest glaring problem for me is that they think it's somehow feasible to build on 7% of all land (for wind and solar combined). The current estimate of all land built on in the UK is only 8%, they think it's doable to nearly dou

I don't think people are against VR/AR, it's just that Horizon was so underwhelming given the hype. Ideas like the metaverse tap into a lot of established sci-fi, pop-culture concepts which are generally very cool. I genuine

FHIR is about as far from what I'd call a standard as you can get. Each individual country/region/hospital/department/lab can define "profiles" that configure the data to their specific use case and no-on

Yes, they're in the 8.5%. I think something like 4% is direct agriculture in terms of fertiliser, methane, etc. The rest is transport, energy consumption, etc. There is a further 10-15% of land-use degradation (eg. Amazon rainforest

It's very dubious to be putting our efforts advocating this as the "single biggest way", certainly it's terrible marketing if you want to really convince people. According to the IPCC: https://ahdb.org.uk&#x2F
