The three year myth 5 months ago

I have to say the same, but even as someone who isn’t really “relied upon”. The best asset for my own independent well-being has always been knowing which way the wind blows and sailing in that direction.

I have to imagine if there was some internal Polymarket-esque platform I’d be a rich man... (facetiously speaking) Unfortunately knowing the way the wind blows is not as much of an asset to those in charge.

"Everything expanding at the same rate" sounds vaguely similar to the truth that what we feel as gravity (standing on earth) is us and everything around us accelerating upwards from the center of the gravity well - and what we feel as "pressure" on our feet is from the earth "holding us up" (in crude terms). So, it sounds crazy but it's not too distant from the truth.

If you read the release, it explicitly does not include the likenesses of human actors. Only animated and illustrated characters are included. (Although, that does cover animated/illustrated versions of characters that are typically portrayed by human actors...)

This is almost certainly due to the photographic/human likenesses of actors being under an entirely separate license and royalty contract than pure IP from Disney.

The ping-ponging is certainly a Gen1 problem. (My Gen1 does this.) Gen1 was essentially an off-the-shelf Mobileye unit, and the performance was, as expected, not good.

Gen2 autonomy stack is completely unrelated to Gen1, and from what I hear is a completely different level of reliability.

(also - this presentation covered yet another, unrelated, gen3 autonomy stack, which shares none of the hardware or models with the existing gen2 stack, either.)

Seems like the search is based only on the transcript/dialogue - not an image embedding. Would be super cool to actually use some CLIP/embedding search on these for a more effective fuzzy lookup.

This is AI-written.

- Ten em-dashes

- "not just A, but B"

    - wasn’t just a vacuum cleaner; it was a small computer on wheels
    - they didn’t merely create a backdoor; they utilized it
    - they hadn’t merely incorporated a remote control feature. They had used it to permanently disable my device
- incessant bullet points/markdown-style formatting

- And an overly dramatic/promotional tone

Obviously the image is AI as well, but /shrug

Oh boy. Is this not essentially a neuralese CoT? They’re explicitly labelling z/z_L as a reasoning embedding that persists/mutates through the recursive process, used to refine the output embedding z_H/y. Is this not literally a neuralese CoT/reasoning chain? Yikes!

This is almost certainly LLM generated.

Six flowery “from-to”s in one article:

from beginners to seasoned professionals

from seasoned backend engineers to first-time data analysts

from GPU acceleration and distributed training to model export

from data preprocessing with pandas and NumPy to model serving via FastAPI

from individual learners to enterprise teams

from frontend interfaces to backend logic

And more annoyingly, at least four “not just X, but Y”.

it doesn’t just serve as a first step; it continues adding value

that clarity isn’t just beginner-friendly; it also lowers maintenance costs

the community isn’t just helpful, it’s fast-moving and inclusive

this network doesn’t just solve problems; it also shapes the language’s evolution

And I won’t mention the em-dashes out of respect to the human em-dash-users…

This stuff is so tiring to read.

It’s still my strongly held belief that things like this are one of humanity’s grandest achievements.

I’ll give it a shot. Zippers/velcro are critical for most modern military gear. Elevators are used to increase the storage capacity for warplanes on aircraft carriers. Thermometers (well, any temperature sensing device) are important for many weapons systems, guidance computers, etc. Wind turbines… hmm, the infamous Stuka siren was basically a wind turbine welded to the side of the plane!

(This is mostly facetious)

From my experience every hotel integrated charger is barely 5V 0.5A, much less PD or anything else. Parent comment was talking about the integrated usb chargers in rooms, if I’m understanding correctly (hence the need to still bring their own)

As a counterpoint, Rust is one of the languages that AI is worst at writing - currently, at least.

Perhaps there could be a future where the compiler/checker will be able to integrate more closely with whichever agent is attempting to write Rust - more closely than the current paradigm, where a hapless Claude repeatedly bashes its head into the borrow checker to no avail.

I couldn’t stop reading the GPT-1 responses. They’re hauntingly beautiful in some ways. Like some echoes of intelligence bouncing around in the latent space.
