I am surprised they didn't respond yet tbh, and this makes me think that it wasn't a simple oopsy.

I've spent quite a bit of time on HN frontpage, and I feel like the trajectory this post is taking in the feed order is weird, it should be near the top, as it was a while ago. Right now it's ranked 27, and there are many posts ra

I'm gonna be honest, I have no clue what this is doing on the front page - there's a whole lot of nothing useful in the article.

US is standardizing quite nicely too, on Tesla's charging standard. I can't think of a company that is not planning to use Tesla's charger going forward.

Google Lens is the first result you get on Google if you search “what is this”. It seems like Google Lens team SEOed their way to the top of Google search and since Perplexity response works by using RAG with search engine content it respon

I'm not following the news on this, but what metrics do these independent tests use and what aspects do they cover? Are they driver assistance features?

They have a relatively small team when compared to Waymo, at least at the research/state-of-the-art level. Don't quote me on this but just look at the the difference between autopilot team size vs Waymo employees size who have a P

Nothing's wrong with people angry about this. What's wrong with the company letting it happen in the first place?

Let's see, Tesla is reinventing the wheel for extracting government money extraction? They make a solid profit on each car they sell. You gonna bring up the loan. But that loan was repaid in full by Tesla, ahead of time, where as Ford

You are obviously giving very biased answers without any substantial proof.

I was gonna reply pointing our how wrong you are, bur then I looked at your submission history realized there is no point in engaging with you.

Wait, so they're saying CarPlay and Android Auto are buggy on their cars, most likely because of their errors in getting the mirroring part right, so instead of fixing the issues, they think switching to their in-house system that they

I personally love the progress they are making on some of the key hardware that actually makes it practical - increasing DoF of the fingers, force-torque sensors, compact tactile sensors in the fingers, etc. Given good hardware, planning an

Can you add some context on what T-splines are and why it's a big news? I kinda know splines in a trajectory planning sense but never heard of T-splines. Thanks!

Just so I understand this right, you're saying that the only reason Microsoft designs and releases accessible controllers is because they make money off it? I don't think that's right, given how much they have to invest in it

I've had noise canceling headphones for a while now, and I love using them in flights, but somehow I could never get to use it all the time to focus like some of my friends do. I am definitely not an expert in this area, and I have no

A simple explanation is that Grok probably used GPT3.5 or GPT4 API to generate synthetic data, most likely for RLHF.

By comparing on benchmarks that are either limited, or have data leaks, or in most cases just don't make sense in terms of usability - I've personally stopped looking at benchmarks to compare models. Personally, if I want to try a

It's just an UI issue. The plot looks fine (as in, correct Y-axis) when I opened the website on a landscape monitor.

I mean it's not like it's saas where you can expect cheaper alternatives to emerge from anywhere in the world to capture the market. Building tech for DoD takes a lot of things (i) access to ITAR restricted tech, (ii) access to ca

I'm not completely sure to be honest, but you should try it yourself with a sample page! I believe hugging face hosts it online on their demo pages so you don't even have to install the package to test on one page.

Great work! I am a bit confused with the comparison with nougat throughout the repo. Nougat was specifically trained for academic documents, and I don't think anyone ever claimed Nougat was the best OCR model out there. That's kin
