The 9800X3D iGPU is definitely handy in some situations, but I tried using it with a 4K wayland desktop for a little while and the performance is really not good enough just for that, unless you're OK with some sub-60hz redraw. I was hoping that the driver situation would be better than Nvidia (lots of issues failing to come back from sleep/unlock). The driver was more reliable but I couldn't live with the occasional choppy redraw. It's really not the kind of CPU that you'd buy and expect to use without a high-end GPU anyway.

I didn’t mean to suggest that GLP-1s don’t count as assistance.

Informing people that they can avoid pregnancy and STDs if they’d just stop fucking each other doesn’t work at scale either.

Practically speaking, any person could starve themself (short of death) and lose weight. In almost all cases there is no magic to storing more energy than you need.

I think it'd be more accurate to say that informing people that they should change their behavior doesn't work. A person changing their behavior can escape obesity. The reality is that most people won't be able to change their behavior without some other kind of assistance.

We shouldn't want them to have self awareness, we shouldn't be seeking to make self-aware actual slaves. We want machines with perception and knowledge, and that are capable of reasoning. But nothing capable of self-determination.

I do some work in laboratory automation and it was quick to refuse the first thing I asked it to do. There wasn't anything spicy in the request, just basic liquid-handling protocol implementation. Their position seems to be that they're too stupid to classify requests safely, and that seems reasonable to me. I'd guess the classifier will improve rapidly.

It's difficult to overstate how horrible the performance is.

A post to the Truth Social account for Donald Trump included: "The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!"

That's the closest thing I'm finding. Not seeing reporting that he literally said "war is peace".

Tesla does collect LIDAR data (people have seen them doing it, it's just not on all of the cars) and they do generate depth maps from sensor data, but from the examples I've seen it is much lower resolution than these Waymo examples.

The answer is not in the article. The question is: why isn't there a registration process for the person that leased the car? How are rented or company cars even relevant, since that's a different company between Tesla and the driver that would have the information about the driver? It seems like a weird quirk that there's not a registration process closer that leads somewhere closer to the actual driver. Is it a privacy issue? Is it just because enforcement is easier against a larger company?

Seems like some kind of weird quirk that the government doesn't already have this information readily available. Why isn't there a registration process for the person that leased the car?

You can't buy it at all, yet.

Also, with the way these kinds of things have gone in the past:

- It's not certain that you'll ever be able to buy it. - If you can buy it, it'll probably be closer to $40k than $25k with no add-ons. - It's not certain that you'll ever actually be able to buy it with no add-ons. - Orders that include all of the most expensive add-ons will be heavily prioritized, so even if you can order it without add-ons, the queue could be months or years long. - The ones that you can actually get in a reasonable amount of time will be closer to $50k than $25k.

I don't think it's a huge stretch to consider supporting circumcision of children as being a call to violence against children, though. Just because it's being done for religious reasons and it has been done by a large population for a long time really doesn't change what it is: involuntary body modification of children.

Hang on, my understanding of the situation is that only PEs are allowed to sign off on the design of a thing. They don't have to design it, and they almost certainly don't build it. Am I wrong?

Adaptive headlights have only been approved for use in the US for ~3 years. They were sold in cars in the US before that, but the adaptive function was disabled.

A version that is just plainly nerdy (and more comfortable) might not be a bad idea; maybe call it the developer version or something to avoid any association with fashion or luxury.

Doesn’t that make the wrist accessory the important part? The chunky glasses look like they’re still too early, not enough tech.

No, L5 is a car that can drive itself anywhere in any conditions.

It's not an exact quote, but it was on The Charlie Kirk Show, on July 13th 2023. The video is still available, it's around 53:45 in.

It turns out, at least so far, we can still choose violence.

The objective was clearly dismantling institutions, not saving money.

How much would it cost them to catch it, though? Not just in money, but time. How do you know it doesn't make sense?

Tesla's "Acceleration Boost" is $2000...

You can tell gpt to write a program to count the n's in 'banana', and then run the program to find the answer, and it can do that.

Windows 2000 in a JS VM is available: https://bellard.org/jslinux/

This is an instrument that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. More than half a billion considering the others in the program. It is still producing data. If you are arguing in favor of destroying this asset, then you have ulterior motive or terrible judgement.

The lawmakers that demand ID for voting also work to reduce access to ID. The most obvious way is just closing facilities that issue IDs, but also through fees and documentation requirements.

They didn’t trust the government and wanted you to stop trusting the government too.

They know that their own public statements are not trustworthy (they are peddling weird bullshit for profit in their private lives, after all).

They got themselves elected and so now you don’t trust the government.

Mission accomplished.

This kind of thing is a key point. Tell Claude Code to build the project, run linters, run the tests, and fix the errors. This (in my experience) has a good chance of filtering out mistakes. Claude is fully capable of running all of the tools, reading the output, and iterating. Higher level mistakes will need code written in a way that is testable with tests that can catch them, although you probably want that anyway.

It is the duty of the Congress to right this wrong and they will fail this test.
