I was really hoping this would be an article about how friction is utilized in mechanical engineering, i.e. in crimped connections [1] which depend on static friction due to compression. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

You just need better training data. Your internal language model can't follow a non-linear argument or understand basic logic.

A million galaxies in a survey of 1/20th of sky (I suspect, haven't run the numbers) manages to get most of the galaxies in our local Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex [1] that fall within the field of view, especially if the surv

See Moravec's paradox [1], which has formulated decades ago. The more we build these models the more it's starting to seem like the paradox is basically true: that the hard part of intelligence isn't higher reasoning but the

Thank you for the links, it's fascinating! Fact is, without a feedback loop that can run physical experiments like infants do from the moment they're born, I highly doubt they will develop a useful intuition using just video. Henc

It’s not just a safe bet but almost guaranteed. Humans combine their internal language models with physical intuition and experimentation from the moment they are born. There is zero chance that an AI can understand the physical world witho

Normally those cycles would peter out locally, but with the internet I think we may have a self-sustaining social contagion. I remember a decade ago when r/conspiracy was all about Area 51, Orwellian surveillance, and the X-Files born

You're probably right because the max GVW on a single axle is 20,000 lbs but my source is the USDOT sticker on the license plates of several Fedex and UPS trucks that deliver to my suburban address and my parents' exurban address.

The standard warranty on a semi-truck engine is 4 years and 400,000-600,000 miles. A million miles isn't impressive, it screams "we're so far behind, we need to distract them with flashier incentives." Maybe they can bui

According to the DOE [1]: Light duty: < 10,000 lbs. Medium duty: 10,000-26,000 lbs. Heavy duty: > 26,000 lbs. Light duty covers most of the 10-20' UPS/Fedex/whatever trucks for last mile urban delivery which is far less
