Because American drivers have normalized always driving 10 mph (16 km/h) over the speed limit. Cops won't pull you over or write tickets if you're not at least 15 mph over, we basically don't have speed cameras, everyone

Waymo immitates humans insofar as its neural net trained on avoiding collisions after millions of miles of video footage and LIDAR data on roads shared with humans causes it to immitate humans. It's likely manually programmed not to (i

I liked it for the interesting ideas within it. My favorite part of a story is the worldbuilding, the author's unique take on an idea, the special ways that different characters think and act. There's not a great deal of artistr

This lacks a whole lot of mobile GPUs. It also does not understand that you can share CPU memory with the GPU, or perform various KV cache offloading strategies to work around memory limits. It says I have an Arc 750 with 2 GB of shared RAM

Interesting, on desktop Firefox I can barely zoom in past the point that the object fills the FOV. I want to be permitted to navigate up close to a point where I can see the pixels and triangle meshes, as if I was a millimeter away from som

Absolutely! We're not all making that error, I've been venting about it for years. "Costs matter" is one way to say it, probably a lot easier to digest and more popular than the "Quantity has a quality all it's

No, those properties are tied to the state of mind and experiences of the human, dog, or LLM behind any given comment. When someone posts: > You could use Redis for that, sure, I've run it and it wasn't as hard as some people

Broken software causes null pointer references and similar logic errors. It would be extremely unusual to have an inadvertent ptr ^= (1 << rand_between(0,64)); that got inserted in the code by accident. That's just not t

Is the headline actually surprising to anyone? AI products that are currently live on a half dozen cloud providers are fueling thousands of people's various delusions right now . No, the LLM itself is not a human, but the people runni

You're right, I'm wrong, sorry, I was checking my memory on Wikipedia [1] which opens the section of his bio "Secretary of Commerce" with the line "Following the 2024 presidential election, Lutnick was being consid

Some additional context to your note: Howard Lutnick is Trump's Secretary of the Treasury. And also was Epstein's literal next-door neighbor.

I use the white screen backlight "flashlight" on my Fenix 6 every day for getting out of the bedroom without waking my wife in the morning. It's good enough to do that, not nearly bright enough to be useful for taking the dog

I've been a Garmin user for 14 years and I wish someone would take the GPS, heart rate, and IMU sensors out of my Fenix and put it in an open-source product. But GPS is really hard to get right, especially if you want weeks of battery

The parent is using a different definition, so they put "solved" in quotes. What word would you suggest to describe the situation where the starting position with 32 pieces always ends in either a draw or win for white, regardless

Totally agreed! This is yet another example of reduced friction due to improved technology breaking a previously functional system without really changing the qualities it had before. I don't understand why this isn't obvious to m

Easy to stretch a few pixels? Easier to move windows with super+arrows so they snap perfectly to the monitor borders, and then you'd never have this issue. I rarely drag windows "by hand" (by mouse) anymore!

The Slate truck has a small backup camera integrated into the gauge cluster, and many vendors implement it in the rearview mirror itself. It doesn't need to be a giant infotainment display.

I own one (a Kubota L3302) with a 33 HP engine, and there are a few guys around me who have 25 HP subcompacts (Kubota, Kioti, and JD) that do similar work to mine. It's astonishing how much everything around those 25hp tractors stinks

I'd assume that the inputs to the system are far, far more than 10 kW continuously. I just ordered 4 servo motors for a modest-sized industrial machine that moves steel plates around to assemble construction equipment, each one is capa

"The company can be held vicariously liable" means that in this analogy, the company represents the human who used AI inappropriately, and the employee represents the AI model that did something it wasn't directly told to do.
