I assume this will make more sense in the morning, right now I’m just extremely confused. Noam never struck me as the type to be snarky like this.

Some neat results from the last six months or so: - Significantly-improved diffusion models (DALL-E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc) - Diffusion models for video (see https://video-diffusion.github.io/ , this paper is f

It’s possible, though not quite as clean as you’d like: from IPython.display import display, Markdown as md display(md(f'*pi = {math.pi}*'))

Huge thanks to the node team for adding this, I’ve been wanting fetch in node for years now! Installing node-fetch for every project was getting kind of old haha

The lisp folks are probably wondering why it took us so long to figure out the whole “all configuration is code” thing haha

Yeah, the stock driver assists in most cars still need a LOT of work. I drove from San Diego to LA last weekend with a comma, and openpilot handled the entire trip without a single disengagement until I got off the highway. I’d be really im

Man, I saw that thing moving sideways right after liftoff and I thought it was a gonner! Huge congrats to SpaceX for landing with an offset engine like that on their first try!!!

Shoot you’re right, I read “warning light” and just assumed. Thanks for the correction! On the other hand, it’s even weirder that Boeing didn’t bother fixing it if it was just a software patch...

Yep. The "AOA sensor disagreement" light is built into every cockpit, but it won't turn on unless the airline purchased a specific premium add-on. Boeing claims they initially didn't realize the light was bundled as an a

The success of Tesla as a business will have far more impact on our progress against global warming than CA’s regulatory goals will. Maybe some don’t see it that way, but I’m quite certain Musk does, and frankly I agree with him.

I think https://www.alexirpan.com/2019/10/29/openai-rubiks.html is a pretty good take. tldr: unfortunately, even tiny discrepancies between the simulation and reality (like the size of the cube's bezels

My guess would be radar data overlaid onto the cameras, but not 100% sure

Inter-frame jumpy-ness can be smoothed out slightly by the control algorithms, on the assumption of object permanence, as long as the underlying vision NN doesn’t miss things too often.

by mitchellgoffpc 7y ago
I’m kind of impressed by how smooth it is, actually. If you watch videos of state-of-the-art object localization NNs, they tend to be EXTREMELY jumpy. These neural nets usually operate on only a single frame at a time, at least in the lower

They use both radar and cameras, but primarily cameras. Lines, road markings, stop lights, and street signs can only be detected with vision, but cars+pedestrians can (usually) be verified by both radar and cameras. In fact, they’ve mention

STRONGLY disagree. I’m just a hobbyist, but trying to read Keras models can be a god damn nightmare if the author has to do anything even slightly non-standard. Keras seems to REALLY want you to believe that you can just throw a bunch of la

I agree with this to some extent, but there are real advantages to having all your code in same framework, and PyTorch is significantly easier to iterate on and debug compared to TensorFlow (in my experience). Hopefully PyTorch will start o

by mitchellgoffpc 7y ago
Yeah probably true, I did say “approaches” though! My guess is that short interest will eventually drop below 5% over the next couple years if Tesla continues to perform well and grow their revenue stream, but we’ll see.

The base Model 3 costs $40k in the US, and even without any extra options at all, it’s a great car to drive IMO! (Although it IS a lot more expensive in foreign markets)

by mitchellgoffpc 7y ago
Well, short interest in Tesla has decreased significantly over the past six months, from over 40% of the float in June 2019, to under 20% in December 2019. As more and more short sellers choose (or are forced) to close their positions, they

I mean, there’s only so long Fiat can keep handing billions of dollars to Tesla, so either they’ll eventually go bankrupt or they’ll start producing good electric cars!

Sure, you could definitely argue that the EU’s strict environmental regulations make European auto manufacturers less competitive. On the other hand, these regulations are designed to promote social good, not the wellbeing of the manufactur

Highly recommend it! I love pytorch so much, it's basically numpy with automatic backprop and CUDA support. It evaluates eagerly by default, which makes debugging a lot easier since you can just print your tensors, and IMO it's mu

Agreed. Tensorflow kinda reminds me of OpenGL in that its dependence on global flags causes some really annoying bugs, especially when you're using third-party libraries or pre-trained models. `enable_eager_execution`, `enable_tensor_e

Yep, same exact thing keeps happening to me. I kinda can’t believe it never occurred to Apple to put haptic feedback in the touchbar, at least then you’d feel it when you accidentally press a button instead of wondering if you’re going insa

I 100% agree with you, but definitely check out pock.dev. Saw it on HN a little while ago, it shows your dock in the touchbar and you can customize it to add music/brightness/volume controls as well. At least for me, it actually m
