I'm a Waymo supporter, but I hate to break it to you, Portland gets less inches of rain per year than most major US cities.

I love when people bring this up. When was the last time anyone here had to pass an actual driving test, like where you have to physically drive a car? For me, age 16, which was more years ago than I like to count. How many licenses do we

Are you talking about automobile technology in general? Human operated vehicles kill a lot of people each year. People get tiny slaps on the wrist for breaking the law on the roads, crashing into other cars, crashing into pedestrians. It

That is so not true of humans or Waymos

My friend, have you seen the standard that human drivers are held to? One accident, one infraction should probably cancel your driver's license, at least for some amount of time, but we just say oops, pay $150 and keep going. Do you k

Ok, I guess we are talking about different eras here. I was a n00b being told to RTFM before reddit even existed

And the net result is a way for LLMs to use more variety in their writing style. Didn't Sam Altman create LLMs to cure cancer and stuff? Why does their writing style matter as long as the information they are conveying is accurate?

Really? This is what we expect from this amazing world changing technology? People will sign up for it and not use it? Good business plan, how can I invest? /s

That is so far away. There is approximately 0 public training data for chip design. Just try asking an LLM to design hardware, it's laughable EDIT: just realized I'm not sure what a "chip worker" in this article is. S

This is not my experience at all. Getting a LMGTFY or an RTFM response really did mean that your question was easily answered by Google or the "fine" manual. It wasn't rude, it was an education, even a confidence boost sayin

So, for better or worse, none of that is considered "AI" anymore. Actually, I don't think anyone ever had the gumption to call it AI. Machine Learning or Computer Vision are the terms I remember.

There are plenty of python apps that you can just apt install. You probably don't even realize some of the apps you run are written in python? And any app you run has access to $HOME, that's not a python specific thing. Look int

Not ADHD but 100% agree on rusts syntax. It's totally repulsive to me.

Have you never tried to read someone else's Perl code? Syntax matters. But complaining about indentation is silly. Other languages' compilers don't require it like python does, but the humans using those languages all absolu

Sigh. You clearly don't remember the year 2003, when your choices were basically C, Perl, bash, php, or Python. C is not a language for quick scripts or dealing with strings like web apps do. Perl was so fun to write, but impossible

It looks like the only thing you are using uv for is to set up a virtual environment? I guess it might be installing python for you too? Some of the things I love about uv that pip by itself doesn't give me If you remove a package, it

"clearly the AI we'll have in 5 years will be radically different and better" Based on past performance that's not clear at all. Remember Elon predicting full self driving by 2017. It's almost 10 years past that p

Are the knowledge cut off issues well known? I don't remember seeing them prominently displayed. Also, prompts that reliably produce hallucinations is kind of a hard ask. It's inconsistent. One day the LLM I work with quotes

It really depends what you are asking it. If the answer is in the training data, then the odds of it lying to you are much lower than if you are asking it for something it has never seen before.

Yes, you can catch many mistakes that LLMs make whike coding, but I wouldn't necessarily call it "controlled." Every now and then the LLM will run into dead ends where it makes a certain mistake, the compiler or unit tests fi

These are hilarious. 3.5 Flash Thinking High is the only one that is weirdly deformed (what is going on with the hat in 3.1 Pro??)

Search engine: crawl the entire Internet and create an index. When you ask it a question it uses that index to point you to an answer among all the information it crawled. LLM: crawl the entire Internet and train a model. When you ask it

Syncthing-fork is running perfectly fine on my Pixel 9. The web interface is definitely better than the default app interface, it's a shame they even bothered with that app interface. All you have to do is exchange "keys" wi

Which is it? Major changes or a bunch of small changes. I'm well aware of the small changes. I worked for an autonomous drone company back in 2008. It was really cool! In 2020 I started working for an autonomous car company. Agai

For many of us the release of GPT-3 appeared like a huge step function, a gigantic leap forward, but the fact is, it wasn't that huge. We've been researching computers and AI for around 70 years now. We had productive "mach

Right and that's something I probably shouldn't have left unsaid. Yes, AI can do these relatively simple tasks like porting from one language to another, but you can't prompt it to cure cancer in one window and prompt it to

Are you getting paid to do any of these? Do you feel like porting projects from one language to another is actually that productive? Like, that's fine if you are having fun, but that has no bearing on this overall discussion about auto

Seriously. The AI psychosis that has people actually believing this stuff is far scarier to me than what might maybe possibly could happen if AI somehow actually performs to the level that the people selling it say it will.

I mean, I was sold something different. Something super human, vastly more intelligent, world changing. The reality is not that. Am I allowed to be disappointed and discouraged?
