You might not think so, but there are many people that believe Tesla marketing that FSD is better than paying attention. I struggle convincing my parents that they shouldn't drive if they are likely to fall asleep behind the wheel and it's helpful to categorize an FSD crash separately from a human driver crash.

The funds that are confiscated are the 25b of released frozen assets. I do think that the US will uphold its agreements, as it absolutely should.

If the US and allies didn't want to spend the 300b they should've stuck with the existing agreement that didn't include 300b in repairs.

I think you'd find more examples of people spending much much less money to influence elections, or buy certain positions than you will people spending money to make the public vote for them. The money influences policies, regulations, wars, etc.

The problem isn’t necessarily that some one can buy a seat for themselves (though some people out there could spend 1000x as much as half a billion and still have 500 billion to spend), it's that for less than half a billion, someone can buy 20 house or senate seats for more conventional candidates that are willing to vote the way the financier wants.

Sometimes links take the form of `.../post/{id}/{extra-text}` where `extra-text` is not used at all to match the post. Amazon links are (used to be?) this way where the product name is added to the end of the link but can be removed or changed and still will route to the product. Maybe the author is surprised the LLM is providing the irrelevant portion of the link verbatim.

The amount of things that would have to go wrong for the craft to get an accidental gravity boost and be ejected would be significant.

I feel like the original claim paints the whole thing as on a knife edge and barely achieved by virtue of not making a single mistake. In today's age with so many moon landing deniers and worse I feel like we should be specific about where the actual dangers challenges and unknowns there were here. In reality, the orbital mechanics are one of the simplest parts of the entire problem, at least when we're talking about a moon flyby

You seem to intentionally be ignoring the original quote that any error may have caused them to be flung into space. This is patently false unless the one math error is pumping in hundreds of pounds more propellant and burning far longer than the scheduled burns. NASA would need to make a significant series of mistakes beyond orbital math for the "flung out into space" statement to be true.

They certainly could've gotten the return wrong but with a perigee of 119 miles they arent even in a stable orbit and likely could deorbit themselves using only rcs thrusters at apogee, or by just waiting a few orbits.

I just did this to my MacBook not because of the sharp edge but because the pitting turns a sharp edge into a sawblade. Something about the grounding on on the frame when plugged in mixed with my sweaty hands leads to damage along this sharp edge on every MacBook I've ever owned.

Very cool, I'm a big fan of web component libraries over vue/react ones. I did notice a couple places where mobile doesn't seem fully supported.

- Disabled outline buttons get a focus color - Dialog close modes all seem the same on mobile, click the backdrop to close. Maybe this is intended?

What's your concern here? That she lead nonprofits? She seems overly qualified to run a separate nonprofit to me.

Why would the government dump any programming language for anything non security related, let alone for the actions of a third party nonprofit? PHP is still governed my a committee of approved voters like always, not by the PHP foundation.

You're forgetting that they are also training with real data from the 100+ million miles they've driven on real roads with riders, and using that data to train the world model AI.

there's probably no examples in the training data where the car is behind a stopped car, and the driver pulls over to another lane and another car comes from behind and crashes into the driver because it didn't check its blindspot

This specific scenario is in the examples: https://videos.ctfassets.net/7ijaobx36mtm/3wK6IWWc8UmhFNUSyy...

It doesn't show the failure mode, it demonstrates the successful crash avoidance.

A well designed dark mode UI is just as readable as a well designed light mode UI. The issue is a lot of designers design light mode then just try to invert for dark mode rather than actually designing for dark mode. I'd imagine your post would exist for light mode if we had started with dark mode as the default.

What fundamental human rights are being lost by outing someone's ideology? I am not making a claim here, just asking for clarification.

Does this acquisition preclude implementing an s3 style integration for AWS bedrock? Also is IMDSv2 auth on the roadmap?

If all we did was supply arms to our allies who are under attack without making egregious profit off of it, then yeah I think folks would feel better about the MIC, but as you're well aware we are only granting small shipments of weapons along with big demands including currently asking Ukraine to give up it's land to russia. We also have a long history of giving weapons to sow chaos around the world leading directly to things like isis and others. Arguably worse than that, we're now using these military weapons to suppress liberty in American cities.

Sure, I can agree that companies using gender dysphoria as only a way to increase profit is a bad thing, and I recognize that pharmaceutical companies are this way with _every_ drug and not just ones that benefit people. However I do disagree with the idea that people should be stripped of their right to free speech if you disagree with their statements, or stripped of their right to choose how to live their own lives.

I would offer that this is entirely different than the lack of choice we have in regard to how our government uses the military to "spread democracy at the point of a gun" while taking more and more of our tax dollars and liberty without improving our lives or tackling the problems that ordinary Americans face.

Waymo is firmly SAE self driving level 4 "automated driving" vs Tesla at level 2 "driver support". You're correct that waymo has operators that can jump in in the event something unusual happens, but the vast majority of the time the vehicle is operating autonomously within their defined area. All that is described by SAE level 4 where no human is driving while automatic driving is engaged.

The 2025 model of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has NACS and is my favorite alternative in terms of looks, features, and price. Rivian has been in a different price category so I have a hard time believing the $45k starting price.

It really isn't that challenging to get going with JWT auth in AWS. Gitlab has pretty good documentation for how to use Gitlab ID tokens to assume roles that includes everything other than how to generate a JWT here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/cloud_services/aws/

And of course generating OIDC PKI JWTs is pretty easy and well documented elsewhere.

The harder parts in my mind are:

  - Updating this OSS project to serve a JWK from OIDC .well-known
  - Convincing people that this method of authn is safe and that those keys are securely stored

An LLM isn't providing its "best" prediction, it's providing "a" prediction. If it were always providing the "best" token then the output would be deterministic.

In my mind the issue is more accountability than concerns about quality. If a person acts in a bizarre way they can be fired and helped in ways that an LLM can never be. When gemini tells a student to kill themselves, we have no recourse beyond trying to implement output filtering, or completely replacing the model with something that likely has the same unpredictable unaccountable behavior.

There is no other way to use an LLM than to give it context and have it give its best guess, that's how LLMs fundamentally work. You can give it different context, but it's just guessing at tokens.
