Uber's in a business where you have some amount of network effect - you need both drivers available using your app, as well as customers hailing rides. Without a sufficient quantity of either, you can't really turn a profit. LLM p

> So there will be a point when camera based systems without lidars will get better than human drivers. No reason to assume that. A toddler that is increasing in walk speed every month will never be able to outrun a cheetah.

Looks pretty cool. After checking out spec.md, one thing I might suggest is using UUIDs for external codec ids. There's a lot of codecs/formats out there, and limiting to a u8 might lead to collisions. It might also be nice to pro

The youtube video currently has ~1.4 million views. Colbert averages 2 to 3 million television viewers per night, plus some number of youtube views that I haven't looked up the stats for. That is, this interview has been seen by fewer

One downside is that money lent for a student loan cannot otherwise be invested. If paid back later with no interest, the money will likely have lost value to inflation in the meantime. I think I agree with your broader point - just quibbli

One problem is that it's exceedingly difficult to tell, as a reader, which scenario you have encountered.

Yet more LLM word vomit. If you can't be bothered to describe your new project in your own words, it's not worth posting about.

Aren't LLMs lossy? You could make them lossless by also encoding a diff of the predicted output vs the actual text. Edit to soften a claim I didn't mean to make.

From looking at some new car options lately, it seems like you're lucky if you can get floor mats for $200. This doesn't take away from your point - I suppose I'm just griping.

Having an LLM write your blog posts is also lazy, and it's damn tedious to read.

Very cool, I love electric conversions. I will confess though, that removing the belt drive makes me nervous - they're often important to protect either the machine, or people, when the blade meets an obstacle.

So, most of the power that Starlink satellites use go into the comms, right? Blasting out electromagnetic radiation to receiver stations on earth, and also the laser(?) backhaul between satellites. Modulo some efficiency losses, most of the
