The US stock market is a lag indicator. It is built on perception and whim but, ultimately, is forced to deal with reality. Stories like this don't shift the market, and economies, overnight but they are showing what should be decades

Sounds fun/stressful/rewarding. I'm most interested in the update at the end though 'Launch was a success! 400K+ views, and multiple companies reached to use my IP.' I too, like probably 1 in 5 of the people reading

We have age verification for many things. The problem now is trust. There is, for obvious reasons, negative trust that this won't ultimately harm people. That it won't be used to harvest more data and invade our digital lives even

I had my (somewhat) breakup when they started advertising their code assistant at me. My IDE is my home. You push an advertisement at me and I get mad. I killed my subscription (with 1/2 a year left) and loaded the old version and have

They do training all day every day in these planes. Air shows are probably less exciting than the stuff they practice to do. Also, while they a generically '18's' they are EA-18g's and possibly have enough differences to

The future is fixed size state with a massive token history that the model can look back at like reading a journal. A reframing of the model this way opens a new kind of agent, one with essentially unlimited context, that packs perfectly on

Actually, yes. I have seen this specific industry mature from the very first fully automated note and kept tabs on it. The accuracy has increased massively and continues to increase due to several factors: - Speech recognition and frontier

This is not a popular view 'AI sucks at X but so do humans' but I think it is valid and we should take wins where we can, especially in healthcare. It is pretty clear that initial accuracy issues will become less and less of a pro

Hmmm... This isn't evil enough. This could actually work. This data is valuable which means there are entities that will pay to bias it. If you want a business to look more traveled, create fake driving tracks to it. If you want insura

We need more posts like this. I'd love a follow-up where instead of removing it injects fake data to the system. I am tired of passively being digitally assaulted. If they are going to do this to me without my knowing consent I want to

Language wars are, in a word, silly. You use the language that your team knows best 99% of the time. All the arguments about performance and safety have fallen flat for me because the majority of times performance and safety are most impact

Short, medium and long-term this will spur the world to move off of fossil fuels. I'm not a fan of war, especially this stupid one, but that one benefit may be, unintentionally, worth it.

I don't think China needs convincing. They have likely already hit peak emissions and will start dropping, potentially rapidly, going forward. Europe is big. It just needs to move forward with purpose and things will happen. Getting th

So many of those 'could maybe happen' are, in fact, happening right now. The researcher is also quoted as saying 'more likely than not' which is pretty big when it comes to something like the AMOC shutting down. This rea

You are thinking of air supremacy, not air superiority. We clearly have air superiority. We can conduct operations of our choosing in the places/times we choose, we just can't do it with no ability for enemy intervention. This is

We are past the point in history where it was hard to tell who the bad guy was.

Again, not having a feature doesn't mean they don't send telemetry back. They can be stripped down AND steal my privacy. In fact, I expect them to considering the backers.

Wow, that is evil that they steal your data to send telemetry back via carplay. I always assumed that was possible so I have never actually hooked my phone up to a car but it really saddens me that it actually happens. There is 0 requiremen

So far I have seen slate position itself as stripped down, but the thing I haven't seen is that they will be privacy aware. These are two totally different things. I want a simple but functional vehicle which does mean a comfortable ve

This one issue, privacy, has stopped me from buying a new car. It is stopping me from even buying a used one since it is hard to figure out how far back you need to go to be rid of these things. Screaming at the wind though isn't helpi

Isolated information isn't a problem. If it takes effort to access information then mass information abuse doesn't scale, it is free of cost, and consequence, access that is the issue here. Flock is attempting to destroy barriers

This is, in a word, crap. We give you a fake option to turn off data and make it egregious by killing features that shouldn't need it like lane keeping. How about instead a real privacy option that actually is true? 'Block identif

So it seems that Anthropic has a hidden list of special words that redirect billing without warning or disclosure. And when this is pointed out as a billing error they say they won't refund until it gets the HN treatment. If they can&#

And once this gets in use improvements will lead to bigger, longer range, etc etc etc. Batteries too are rapidly improving and this will push more emphasis on that. The first Write flyer couldn't do much either.

But at the same time you had to design an aircraft to be able to shed that much weight and handle a load that sloshes around. That has cost. Again though, the core point is you can't compare directly. It is more about the final design

I am really excited to se electric aviation start to enter the market. A lot of people point out the battery density / jet-A difference and it is valid, but it isn't the whole story. Jet-A has a much lower conversion to useful wor

We do build new ones (I26 is happening now) and that doesn't cost hundreds of billions of dollars. We can and have built big projects. We can and will build bigger ones. This is just sabotage at every possible chance. I have seen this

Other countries do this just fine and we can easily build freeways and highways. This is because of intentional sabotage. US politics are actively harming citizens by sabotaging projects to 'prove how bad x is' when in reality x i

It will be fine to print a gun but there will be laws outlawing your ability to print an iphone case and printers will have to detect parts from any registered manufacturer. So we will get the worst of all worlds. printers only for guns and
