Since when is someone trying to build a difficult thing on a tight timeline referred to as a "promise"? He sets extremely ambitious goals and usually/often misses them, but the end result is that despite missing the ambitious

In many parts of the world, you can walk into a Tesla store and tell them you're not interested in purchasing but would like to try it anyway. More likely than not, they will give you a free test drive. You'll be able to decide fo

They literally sell BB-8 toys that can roll around and say on the blog that the Olaf robot is coming to Disneyland Paris and special appearances at Disneyland Hong Kong.

What do you mean "every browser advertises English"? In my experience, users who genuinely don't want English will most definitely have their browser language set to the language they do want. I think what you might be seeing

It's really difficult to give up the convenience of cloud-based accounts. It would be nice for regulators to step up and protect consumers when it comes to this kind of thing.

You're using a strange definition of "within". It's 7% over.

I think it continues to be under-appreciated how much of a lead Tesla still has in EVs. Even BMW can't make something that is practical. First people said "competition is coming" for about a decade. Now the competition has fi

I think you need to go back and rewatch Will Smith eating spaghetti. These examples are far from perfect and probably not the best model right now, but they're far better than you're giving credit for. As far as I know, this might

I wonder who eats the cost of this? I presume it's the airlines. So the immediate cost to Airbus of grounding the fleet is quite low, whilst the downside of not grounding the fleet (risk of incident, lawsuits, reputation, etc.) could b

Thank you; that makes sense. I had the impression it was the entire fleet.

I've noticed that some carriers seem to be suggesting that there might be no impact to flights, but isn't this an immediate grounding for each aircraft until the update is made? How is it possible that this wouldn't impact up

Yes, the web is fairly good these days. That's only adjacent to the topic under discussion though, isn't it? In terms of downloadable apps & games, there hasn't historically been anything that solved the operating system

The market for operating systems naturally falls into oligopolies. It's usually not financially feasible for third-party applications to support more than a few of them. Users tend to have strong preferences toward operating systems th

For how many seconds after FSD is disengaged do accidents still get attributed to FSD?

The sycophancy makes LLMs useless if you want to use them to help you understand the world objectively. Equally bad is when they push an opinion strongly (usually on a controversial topic) without being able to justify it well.

I think it's a lot better. Rechargeable batteries built into a device degrade over time. The vast majority of people will discard a device as a result of battery degradation.

Have you published details of that anywhere?

Maybe they will be more cautious due to being unfamiliar with the system & car.

Either of web or Android would be great. Looking forward to trying it once one of them becomes available.

Looks good. Hope you'll do an Android version sometime.

I have been working on Jigsaw Pic: https://jigsawpic.com My 7 year old niece loves jigsaw puzzles, but a lot of the time I see her during family trips where taking puzzles along wouldn't be feasible. We usually have an iPad

Also check the author's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jamesondow.bsky.social It can't be healthy to be so obsessed with something/someone you dislike.

Dangerous for some humans. If a self-driving system is taking a blind corner, I would expect it to be approaching it at a more appropriate speed.

Can you explain this a bit? How does Tesla enable ICE cars to stay on the road?

A major downside of any service once it becomes too large is that the overall complexity introduces lower reliability. From Google's perspective perhaps each rule and feature makes sense, but from a customer perspective, there might be

And "much blood" is (globally) to the tune of ~1.2 million lives lost, and many more injuries. Compared to that, autonomous vehicles have barely harmed anyone. Also they will probably save most of those lives once they become good

Also OpenAI pioneered but now the many competitors seem to have either caught up or surpassed them. They might still retain a significant brand recognition advantage as long as they don't fall too far behind, though.

You're absolutely right that AGI and ASI are not well-defined, but we also need to recognize that they definitely are actual things even though we lack a definition. For any AI concept, I think it might be instructive to consider the h

A computer virus that can access brains is a scary thought and I'm not sure what would alleviate that concern for me. That said, if you need this, the security side of it is a secondary concern to the very immediate quality of life imp
