To point out that even your average human with 2 Mk. 1 eyeballs is not that awful at driving. We can absolutely do better with computers but the baseline is reasonably high.

What senses do you need for driving besides sight and sound? All of the rest of this is just saying "the human brain has a well trained model for objects moving around in meatspace", the replication of which is literally the resea

It is not a conspiracy that elements of the western security establishment want to ban open weights models and have been engaging in a PR war to this end, supported by Anthropic.

Because the goal of these evaluations is to generate scary headlines about cybersecurity, in order to get the normies to support banning open weights and/or restricting cyber capabilities to the chosen few blessed by the government to

Even the average human ends up with about 1 fatality every 100 million miles and 1 serious injury every 10 million miles. The typical person will drive somewhere in the six figures of miles in their lifetime.

I wish I were as rich as Elon but alas I'm just an ordinary person who appreciates more than one company competing to deploy autonomous driving technology. Appreciate the vitriol though, it tells me a lot about you as a person.

In terms of dynamic range and color space? Yes absolutely. But for driving you don't really need a huge color space and for dynamic range you can just use separate cameras for daytime and nighttime.

If 2x Mk 1 eyeballs are good enough then I figure cameras can get there too. Or are we going to outlaw that as well because of competitive incentives of Waymo?

So do you want to outlaw espresso martinis? Or rum and cokes?

But you can do a backdoor Roth IRA by maxing out your 401k and then rolling it over into a Roth IRA with recharachterization. You lose the tax benefits of the 401k but gain the tax benefits of the Roth IRA which can be a good trade dependin

By taking nominal wages and then normalizing them to some specified year’s dollars using a price index. Yes I know you believe that price indices are made up but if anything CPI overstates inflation slightly because it doesn’t properly acco

Real wages are higher today than they ever have been. The whole story about median real wages falling is entirely a result of Simpson’s paradox as applied to women entering the workforce from 1970-2000. This sort of axe grinding is just exc

In this particular case it was literally arson.

The fundamental obstacle is that we have no conceivable way to produce the energy levels to test the predictions that new theoretical physics would produce. We are like over a dozen orders of magnitude off.

Glad to know you uncritically will sign up for the moral panic of the times.
47.
by ls612 2mo ago
No it is just a moral panic because college students like to drink vodka Red Bulls, as opposed to drinking Irish coffees or any similar combination of caffeine and alcohol.

It is on par with Portal 2, both the original and the sequel, imo. Some people think the sequel took a step back but I don’t really see why, if anything I liked 2 better than 1.

The thing that makes this argument ring hollow to me is that all of the tech giants have the same interest in their code being protected by copyright, and afaik no big tech giants haven’t adopted coding agents en masse. Presumably they have

Side note, but playing Talos Principle after the AI revolution hits different than it did back in 2014. So much of what Milton says feels a lot less hypothetical today.

Apple TV the app has ads for Apple TV shows. Apple TV the device doesn’t have ads built in.

I think that this is the big divide between pro and anti-AI people in tech. I learned to code not because I liked coding intrinsically; I didn't. Especially debugging. Especially especially debugging low level languages like C++. I did

Mine are WD Red Pros. I also have a 2TB WD Black SSD as a cache VDEV for the pool.

I have 3x22 TB drives in a RaidZ1 pool with roughly 20TB of data and a scrub takes 18 hours. This sounds about right to me tbh.

To misquote Bismarck, only fools, drunks, and Americans actually believe the rule of law is real.

by ls612 2mo ago
There is no law. There is only power, and the will to use it. Remember and internalize this at all times.

Fiber optic drones are real but the fully autonomous drones others are describing are also real (but less publicized due to the bad PR around killbots)
