When the story input parameters are too close or similar to an existing work, you'll receive output containing training artifacts. For example if the parameters for a story included topics such as a castle in Norway featuring a princess with powers. While the overall story will be its own thing, you'll definitely get names of characters and story elements from Disney's Frozen. The main ways to avoid this is to increase the top_p and temperature of the LLM requests, as well as add additional specifics to the story prompt. Are there any other techniques out there that would help in this?

Tesla produces vehicles in batches based on order statistics. Vehicles are then matched with customers based on their selected options. Vehicles may be awaiting matching, or vehicles may be awaiting transport. International transport across the ocean happens when they can fill an entire ship to capacity.

Wouldn't it make more sense to charge by the hour? Or perhaps you live in a location with low housing prices. In either case, it seems to highlight the fact that the system is broken.

It blows my mind that the fees are percentage based. The amount of work required for an agent on a 100K house is very similar to that of a 2 Mill house. Presumably the seller agent wishes to get compensation for increasing the value of the house, but for both the seller and buyer agents, the number of deals done far outweighs slight incremental selling prices. In which case, both would prefer to settle on a lower price and move to the next deal. So frustrating. I wish the lawyers all the best!

There is a fatalism mentality when it comes to writing about big technology ambitions like this. Maybe people are just jaded and used to being let down so much. There is zero doubt in my mind that this endeavor will cost more than expected, take longer than expected, etc... but at the end of the day the effort alone is going to spur other tunneling companies to push for innovations as well. Who knows if any of these early prototypes prove useful, but it sure is clear that Elon sees a lot of room for improvement in the technology, and at this point I wouldn't bet against that.

It singles out Tesla and provides no broader context. Specifically there is no mention of the policies of other car companies. It is like saying that Kumo tires have been in 5 million car accidents. Sounds bad for Kumo, but there is no context to other types of tires. Will BMW or Lexus provide vehicle data after a crash? Will Google provide Android Auto data upon request?

Doing it perhaps for the click-bait karma?

Edit: I'm one of those people that believe in what Elon is doing and while I don't consider myself a fan-boy, I get plenty frustrated by all of the biased negativity I somehow feel the need to inject some balance by saying something. That may come across as only ever defending, but the amount of negative fluff articles is astonishing.

Isn't this true of any car company? BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus aren't going to hand over vehicle data. You can't just ask Google for your Android Auto data.

Having been a fan of Apple for over a decade now, over the last year I've come to the opposite point of view. Their iPhone and airpods are great products and of course they can ride a long time on those, but in every other area from Macs and accessories I feel they are falling flat on delivering great user experiences. From FaceTime to Siri, to crappy Apple TV remotes, Home Kit... there are just a LOT of mediocre products that sit idle for years. Of all times, the company is at the point most worth criticizing. I do blame Tim Cook for this stagnation in product development. And indeed their lack of ideas means they have nothing better to do with their cash, that they are buying back shares. Ehh, I'm so jaded these days on Apple.

They have been around so long you could likely get an Apple refurbished one for a few hundred less than new.

I did the same. While I used to use my account regularly 5+ years ago, my feed was just full of stupid updates. People posting food pics, family commenting on news, and old viral videos, and lots and lots of ads. So, hey, I deleted my account. While Facebook isn't loosing any revenue from me, it certainly didn't ever attract me back into the active user status. Good riddance.

At the very moment it is scheduled for Feb 6th.

I like it too. If you want to be a runner, act like a runner. To me this means, dress like a runner, eat like a runner, and get out of bed and run every day like a runner. When your are educated about what it takes to do something and you match those behaviors, you will be well on your way to being exactly that... And when you are actually doing those behaviors, there isn't any more pretending.

The possibility is there, but one might also have imagined that Microsoft, Nokia, and Blackberry would be dominating the smartphone market today.

The Model 3 was aimed at the BMW 3 series audience. The Bolt is much more in line with a Toyota Yaris, but twice the price.

There are plenty of instances where I might want directions while I'm on a run, but there is no way I'm paying $10 a month to add the device to my plan. Hopefully it is just shared data with my phone plan. We'll see what the carriers do, but I think it will make or break it for a lot of people.

I would really like to see the names of people who are working on the research. They reference other papers and give their authors credit, but was disappointed to not see the Apple employees get credit.

On the pro side, Trump can say he followed through with a campaign promise. The accord was non-binding self-enforced, so from a day-to-day business impact, not much changes from regular Trump policy setting. On the con side, foreign relations will be stressed and global climate policy will be set without US corporate input (possibly a good thing?).

But if I got 400000 preorders for that $1200 mug?

But they do turn a profit... then turn around and invest in growth.

Sitting on a jury yourself should alleviate you from worries about jurors not being experts themselves. Jurors are not experts in law, yet every case they sit on the lawyers bring in people to educate the jurors on the law and all aspects that pertain to a case. It is incredibly educational sitting on a jury.

Chris did work under the leadership of Steve Jobs for 5 years.

I often click ads with no intention of buying... just to redistribute money around to Google and website owners.

"Tesla also includes the tax credit in their price." This is false... Tesla advertises their model 3 targeted base price as $35,000. This is before any tax credits.

"Tesla loses money on every car too." This is false, Tesla averages $18,000 margin on every model S & model X it sells.

"So how did GM pull off a $30,000 car with 200 miles of range?" It didn't. It is $30k only after $8000 of federal tax credits.

These are the topics the jury received evidence on, heard from expert witnesses about, and was argued thoroughly during the case. Perhaps your questions will be answered if you look into the case further.

Autonomous trucks and cars will be here long before drone delivery is actually a thing. For now Amazon can get easy free press for delivering popcorn... they might as well start a group focused on carrier pigeon delivery.

Both the noise and sight of drones is unpleasant. I can't imagine rich people wanting a stream of drones flying over their homes. One more thing poor people will have to put up with in the future.

When will humanity have enough sensors and computing power to give a similar forecast that Dark Sky provides today, but 7 days in advance? What will that system look like? It seems like it is a mostly matter of time, but I just don't grasp what all will need to be done to get there and if it is 15 years out or 100.

This is only interesting to think about, but this nuanced level of logic would not actually ever be programmed into self driving cars. Once you go past the avoid hitting things level, lawsuits from many vectors come into play, and high risks of false positives. The podcast Hello Internet covered this topic and I'm convinced this is far more relevant to one's personal prejudice in every day life.
