I believe TSLA also represents their humanoid robot segment with some questionable addressable market definitions done by investment analysts. I believe it’s overvalued but they are a forcing function for the other tech companies to push ah

It's not as simple as that. IIUC the tariff is no where near the difference in the cost of production in the US. https://youtu.be/uDGkkqllQa8?t=1144&si=vxhJH-JgMf6Pk9A7

what even is the point other than "the Israel lobby said so"? Creating "liberal democracies" is certainly not it or else an ISIS mercenary wouldn't have been installed in place of Bashar al asad? US itself is not a

everyone says they want it to fall but then you look at what happened to Libya or Syria where one is in a civil war and the other is now run by an Israel/US backed former ISIS mercenary and then you think maybe that's not the righ

locality is good for resilience and latency but for privacy? how does it work? How can one audit that the bytes going from a DC in country A to a DC in the US is not the user queries but some telemetry data for example? Presumably you don&#

This comment demonstrates many just read the rage bait headlines and don't really get much useful news these days.

It seems the probability of being guilty in the current justice system is a function of how many persistent enemies you have and not how just or unjust your actions are.

I ran a few of these geo guess queries between OpenAI O3 and Gemini Pro 2.5 and O3 does much better on average. It does spend an order of magnitude longer time on inference by searching through websites and analyzing the image but it often

I believe the play here is: 1. Look "Studio Ghibli" went viral, let's capitalize 2. Switching cost for LLMs are low. If we can't be the best let's find other ways to lock our users in and make our product super stic

depends on the use case. I used GPT-4o for some image editing (adding or removing things) to an image of a person and they distort the look of the people after each edit but (Gemini Flash + image out) did much better. The main problem is th

Is all this “privacy” and “monopoly” outrage about a loud group of people wanting to watch YouTube videos without watching ads or paying a dime? Do they also get outraged when Costco “abuses its monopoly” as soon as they stop providing fre

Of course they should. The volume does not matter as much as the depth. alternatively you could ask "Should managers understand the domain in which they work"?

Two thoughts: 1. Similar to autonomous driving going from 90-99% reliability can take longer than 0-90%. 2. You can now use LLMs and public clouds to abstract away a lot skills that you don't have (managing compute clusters, building i

Exactly, the legal system's job is not necessarily finding the truth. It's who can convince the judge/jury better even if they use nasty tactics.
