Fable was really excellent before the whole fiasco with the US government. Once they brought it back it was not the same at all. I have switched over to ChatGPT now for most things, its answers are way better than Fable in my experience. I

The issue is long term, high capacity storage. To store enough energy to last an entire winter using batteries just isn’t practical today. I think you’d need around 100 power walls at today’s capacity to make a house completely off grid, me

I agree, I wish more work was being done on building a hydrogen economy. Hydrogen can be generated sustainably, is a great way to store excess energy from renewable sources, can be transported, and as a bonus can be mixed with hydrocarbon f

Newb question but I’m curious what would help it to run faster? Would it need more vRAM or just system memory?

That’s very interesting, thank you for sharing. Looks like it could be a very useful tool for testing high performance networking. I wonder if something similar could be done using TC BPF instead of AF_XDP? My only reservation about AF XDP

“ Being a Guitar Hero player did not — and does not! — equal being a guitar player.” Has anyone ever claimed otherwise?

Another nice benefit of this would be location tracking. Once you had established the database of tools and the CV setup to recognize them, you could ask the LLM, “where did I last place my Stanley knife”?

Exactly. The challenge isn’t getting the LLMs to make sure they validate their own code. It’s getting the LLMs to write the correct code in the first place. Adding more and more LLM-generated test code just obfuscates the LLM code even furt

Well, the water analogy actually holds up quite well if you consider the charge field moving, not the electrons themselves. This guy has a lot of great videos using water channels to explain electricity. It is fascinating how under a high s

I am curious, what explanation would justify a full closure of the airspace over a major us city for 10 days, in your opinion? That is the real screwup here. Whatever justification they are giving is entirely beside the point. Closing the a

They have confirmed it was for testing a counter-drone weapon. They did not say why they set it to expire in 10 days, that part seems like it was probably a mistake.

Quite literally, the previous post on this blog is from 2024 talking about what a revolution the Rabbit R1 is. We all know how that turned out. This is why I give every new trendy developer tool a few months to see if it’s really a good thi

The model generates camera and Lidar data. As if it was a Waymo car that drove through the simulated scenario with its cameras running. This synthetic training data can then be used to train the driving models.

My view on Waymo and autonomous taxis in general is they will eventually make public transit obsolete. Once there is a robotaxi available to pick up and drop off every passenger directly from a to b, the whole system could be made to be sup

I would strongly recommend this podcast episode with Andrej Karpathy. I will poorly summarize it by saying his main point is that AI will spread like any other technology. It’s not going to be a sudden flash and everything is done by AI. It

The problem is it can be subjective. Some people really like the “smooth motion” effect, especially if they never got used to watching 24fps films back in the day. Others, like me, think seeing stuff at higher refresh rates just looks off.

I feel like I’ve figured out a good workflow with AI coding tools now. I use it in “Planning mode” to describe the feature or whatever I am working on and break it down into phases. I iterate on the planning doc until it matches what I want

A nice practice that I try to follow it to always spell out what any Three Letter Acronyms (TLAs) the first time they are used. Then from that point onwards the simple TLA can be used. In this case, BPF (shorthand for eBPF), stands for Exte

The same problem actually already exists for non-drone planes, because they must be able to operate in poor visibility conditions. FAA issues notams for construction cranes if they pose a risk to nearby airports. One solution for drones wou

I would tend to agree, I think dev time is better spent supporting Proton. I have even seen benchmarks where Proton on Linux outperforms Windows. As a Steam Deck owner, Proton is fantastic. https://www.forbes.com/sites/

Yeah I’m not seeing any evidence that this actually works. I would’ve like to see some testing where they intentionally introduce a bug (ideally a tricky bug in a part of code that isn’t directly changed by the diff) and see if Claude catch

I swear I read in a text book once that Fourier discovered this while a boat. He looked out at the waves on the ocean and saw how there were many different sized waves combining to make up the larger waves. I could never find it again, but

This seems like a smart option, that would also allow power cycling the machine remotely I’m assuming, in case it goes totally out to lunch.

Honestly the train system in NYC is so good, I have only taken a cab a few times since I moved here. I’ll probably take a waymo once if they roll it out here for the novelty of it, but I’d rather see people getting exciting about public tra

As long as they make it easy to add a “made with AI” tag to the PR, it seems like there’s really no downside. I personally can’t imagine why someone would want to hide the fact they used AI. A contractor would not try to hide that they used

I’ve had more success this way as well. I will use the model via web ui, paste in the relevant code, and ask it to implement something. It spits out the code, I copy it back into the ide, and build. I tried Claude Code but I find it goes of

Not to mention, at that point they are essentially just serving as the middle man between you and a LLM. Instead of paying for Duolingo to ask an LLM to generate a bunch of Spanish phrases for you, you can pay for the LLM and do that yourse
