But only because of a pure fluke. If not for that extraordinary evidence, would they have been exonerated? I'm not saying justice is useless and broken (at least not in this way), but innocent people being found guilty on insufficient

Agreed. Tesla makes the worst EVs out there, which really sullies the perception of EVs. I've test driven both a Model 3 and a Model S and I've never had such a bad driving experience. Everything is hidden: How do you unlock the d

I completely agree, but that's something that will change over time, especially as more people have EVs. Consider what it was like when the first ICEs came out: there weren't gas stations every mile like there is today; they poppe

Nobody thinks EVs will replace 100% of vehicles in the next few years. This is the premise I constantly hear from people trying to argue that the power infrastructure isn't ready. EV ownership, charging availability, and per infrastruc

You can still swap out a battery just like swapping out an engine. Both require extensive knowledge, specialized tools, and a lot of time, but it's definitely possible.

I encourage you to try driving one. Even if you don't care about the possibilities for improved energy efficiency and reduced pollution, or don't care for the latest technology, the driving experience is wonderful. Instant power,

Unfortunately it requires commercial licensing. I spoke with them a while ago about pricing and it was awfully expensive for being just one part of a larger product. We have been trying other common open source models and the results have b

I feel this is common throughout all of training, even on public data. Every time we talk about something specific at length, that becomes part of the training data and that influences the models. For example, ask a problem about a butterfl

The West did a fine job of this themselves. Outsourcing to poorer countries is what has made the West so wealthy for so long - goods whose price is subsidized by cheap labor. Now that China and other countries have caught up, the West doesn

I think people are thinking of "generation" wrong in this context. It need not mean people born in the 60s or 80s or 2000s, but just the people alive and involved in the social sphere during a time - like right now. I think we hav

I don't know about full 3D manipulation, but we used buttons and switches and levers for decades. They worked great. They are easy to see, feel, and manipulate. They can't move or change, so muscle memory develops naturally. You c

I don't have links, but look at Detroit during the crash of 2008. There were a lot of photos at the time of entire neighborhoods abandoned by people whose mortgages were underwater.

Even the last few points of their "simple" flow are overly complicated. Before all the CMS stuff, you created the HTML and CSS on files on your desktop using text editors or WYSIWYG editors like Front-page. You can render it just

Not everybody follows GPT releases so closely. I work implementing software using LLMs and this is the first I've heard of this.

by RevEng 2y ago
It's important to remember that modern LLMs are trained on bloody everything. They know every common logic problem, at least when stated the way they would have seen it. If you want to test an LLM, always make up a new problem. It can

AOSP still exists, but it doesn't include most of the Google specific apps.

Many of the fundamental apps on Android, and the Play store itself, can only be used under license. Android OSP does not contain many things that you would expect to be part of Android. Also, most modern devices won't even let you flas

If it was about paying an examiner to dig up prior art, they could just do that privately. Crowdsourcing like this is typically much cheaper, but putting money aside, many people would be happy to help simply out of principal. There are lot

I don't disagree - there are people who are capable and willing to put in the effort. But I don't think that's most people - especially people asking how to do it. There's a lot to know about how to do things properly, s

This is something that has come up many times for our company over the last 20 years. You can't sell the bean counters on quality of life. You need to show lower costs, higher quality results, or faster time to market - that's wha

Another problem is that, as an indie, you probably aren't an experienced marketing person. I've been the one managing "build in the open" with a founder on a popular Kickstarter project and it was awful. If we posted a l

Running a service is one thing. Keeping it reliable and secure is another. Especially if you are a start-up. You have limited capital and even more limited developer time. Don't waste either on building your own infrastructure. If you

What do you want to use it on? Ollama works on anything: Windows, Linux, Mac and Nvidia or AMD. I don't know if other cards like Arc are supported by anything yet, bit of it supports the open Vulkan API (like AMD) then it should work.

By that definition all current AI models are "open". That's not the meaning of the word that OpenAI talked about originally and what people expected of them. Changing the meaning is moving the goal posts.
