Tesla is literally operating a robotaxi service.

How do Elon Musk's predictions relate to Tesla achieving a robotaxi service or not? Ignore his predictions and just... look at whether or not the Tesla FSD team is making progress.

The dependency array thing is really easy if you use eslint with the react rules of hooks.

FWIW in my own testing I found Gemini OCR better than Mistral.

by fastball 1y ago
It's very relevant if any other EU firm can take open models (regardless of provenance) and fine tune them in the same way. Mistral really needs to be producing at-or-near SOTA models for them to be differentiated at all, and they are

Sure, but that's why I mentioned all the open models which are better than Mistral and you can run where and however you want.

OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b has the same license as Mistral's mistral-small-2506 (Apache 2.0). How exactly is this less serious than Mistral?

Mistral's best models are actually not open-source, and the ones that are open are not particularly competitive with other open-source models these days. Their highest ranked open model on LMArena[1] (mistral-small-2506) ranks below:

Mistral models are not very competitive with other proprietary models. Their competition is mostly from OSS models, which 1. can actually be run anywhere and 2. frequently outperform Mistral models anyway (e.g. DeepSeek 3, Kimi K2, and Qwen

What about a work computer? You're not the owner, but presumably you appreciate when can feel that your work computer is still secure.

Capability of the model itself is presumably the more important question than those other two, no?

That was definitely not the point. The author was contrasting a streaming service with purchasing digital music files, implying the latter is "ownership".

I believe there have been instances where Amazon removed books from user Kindles, which (thought these files are indeed DRM'd), that is not the mechanism by which this was done. "If I'm willing to violate the law I'm goo

Nope. You own the CD. You do not own the MP3.

Apple wasn't early, they realized that they don't own the web, and therefore that web apps are much worse for them as a business than owning an exclusive App Store.

You can download an MP3, but you still don't "own" it in the conventional sense. You are licensing it, and a downloaded MP3 is how you utilize that license. If that license was revoked for some reason (admittedly not a likely

Online banking is broadly less convenient than the banking app on my phone. With online banking I need to login with my creds every time, with my phone it is secured with FaceID, so I basically just open the app and I'm good to go. Thi

There are no quips in my comments – you might be projecting a bit. There is only one person in this conversation using inflammatory/snarky language and providing little substance. Your claims are entirely up for debate, as they are wro

Manageable isn't just from Amazon's side, it is also an argument from the side of the plaintiffs. e.g. "This class is too diverse. It will be like herding 300 million cats, which decreases the likelihood of arriving at a suit

You're being a conspiracy theorist. You can in fact replace the battery with a non-Apple battery without issue. The things that break when you replace them without a properly signed version are in fact related to the security of the de
