The question isn't whether it can be done eventually, but whether it would get safer faster with extra sensors. Back in the day, Elon's specific objection to lidar was that it was too hard to code the sensor fusion part. With end-

Given what's happening in the rest of the AI field, it seems pretty likely that it's correct. Plus various Tesla engineers have said the same thing, Tesla does have a very large AI training cluster, and FSD quality made a big jump

Would Musk's argument about sensor fusion have made any sense back when they were doing lots of hand-coded C++? I've been thinking maybe vision-only was a reasonable decision, back when lidar was expensive and the software was han

My head contains intelligence hardware that far outstrips anything in these cars. Plus my cameras are a lot better. Despite all this, a lot of modern cars are adding lidar to make things easier for me.

Yes, but only about a third of voters are hard-core MAGA. There's a big group in the middle that pays less attention to politics, and swung for Trump mostly for economic reasons.

It's easy to argue against the stereotype of tree-hugger hippies but plenty of activists want to actually solve the climate problem, which involves lots of high-tech stuff like solar panels, advanced nuclear power, battery storage, ele

No, because activists have a basic understanding of the carbon cycle. All the carbon you exhale was recently taken out of the atmosphere by plants. You're carbon-neutral. If we start synthesizing food from fossil fuels, then human exha

Of course they'll say it. I just doubt that many people will believe it.

If rates go way up next year, I don't see how they're going to convince people the Democrats are at fault.

Subsidies are going away but they're raising the unsubsidized rates because of that. This is the key paragraph: > If healthy people opt out, the insurance pool is left with those who cost insurance companies more — people who can&#x

We're likely to lose a lot of rural hospitals due to Medicaid cuts. We might need those new urban facilities, as those patients who do have insurance travel to the places still open.

It's almost like things are more valuable when they're legitimate parts of the economy.

That would be less of a problem in a legislature, where you don't need unanimity and there aren't any comparable rules about how you are supposed to vote.

Even 10% in four months is pretty stout. But I suspect the UK has fairly precise bounds on their "estimates" of the size of the Russian fleet, and their losses. In any case, maybe you could post sources? From a quick google, Russi

US DoD confirmed that Ukraine struck the Moskva and sank it. It was the flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Moskva "Russia's Ministry of Defence said the la

It's not just about the bridge, and the drones aren't necessarily underwater. Some are basically jet skis. Ukraine has used them to blow up several large Russian ships, and denied Russian access to much of the Black Sea.

That was my thought at the time. Or maybe even that the real world we actually live in is a simulation, and that by learning to control one, Neo learned to control the other.

I've seen some of the world's top AI researchers talk about the emergent behaviors of LLMs. It's been a major topic over the past couple years, ever since Microsoft's famous paper on the unexpected capabilities of GPT4.

I once saw a paper showing that if you don't mind hours of latency, and your nodes are mobile, then a network like that scales linearly with the number of nodes. So at least you won't have to worry about congestion. (The paper was

I'm not surprised that the government does great research, but I wonder how much good does that research does, if it's unpublished and disappears after budget cuts.

Generally if a comment makes multiple points, I don't feel I have to refrain from replying if I only have a response to one of them. I'm not here to prove you wrong, just to make whatever point I have. There's plenty of music

Sure, here's a sampling with a favorite from each. I'm a synth fan, some of these guys are good keyboard players and others are just really good with synths, as far as I know. Some of the handfuls are bigger than others. Gabe Chur

Plenty of hobbyists record their music. A lot of the music I listen to is from youtubers with a handful of views.

Maybe. The backstabbing rate is unknown so far. If it's high enough, then autonomy will be poor strategy.

If this paper is right, then you might at first be outraced by a competitor using autonomous AI, but only until that competitor gets stabbed in the back by its own AI.

How are you distinguishing Falcon/Starship style recovery? Blue Origin actually attempted first-stage propulsive recovery with their first orbital test, with a hydrogen second stage. (It didn't work, but neither did SpaceX's

by DennisP 1y ago
Any large fully-reusable rocket basically fits those goals, but methane might not be ideal for the second stage, if you don't intend to refuel on Mars. Hydrogen has better ISP, so your mass budget isn't so tight. It's also si

You have to know how to evaluate and judge articles on the internet, too. Prompt engineering might not be something people do for much longer: https://spectrum.ieee.org/prompt-engineering-is-dead

That's a process that's internal to companies doing training. It has nothing to do with publishing outputs on the internet.

AI generates useful stuff, but unless it took a lot of complicated prompting, it's still true that you could "just ask the question yourself." This will change as contexts get longer and people start feeding large stacks of b
