The issue with the MCAS-fiasco was that it (by design) was not communicated to the pilots, so when it failed, they didn't know immediately what to do. If they had known, they would have cut out the trim motor and left it off and trimme

Same experience for me, reported several clear scam ads and just get a reply from G that they don't violate any policies... :/

Agree, I don't know what Transportstyrelsen has to say about the interruption in their service this provides. My guess is that they do have the contract with PostNord and are just pretty hesitant to break that and rather wait and see i

What was this interview? Sounds like fun :)

by l33tman 3y ago
Don't know why this was downvoted.. This is not Postnord's decision, it's the workers, and the same workers at UPS or any other postal delivery service could do the same.

Second this, if you need a database and users, Django is better than the headache of thinking about this yourself with all security pitfalls. I've built several production APIs around Django (like, not CMS at all) and I find it a good

You're directly or indirectly making sure the company you've invested in will get boosted if you as CEO owns a stake. Therefore it's a conflict of interest - what if that particular company is only the second best to deal wit

The worst thing with google maps the last years is that you can't see many venues until you zoom in to the absolute max zoom-in, even if there is PLENTY of room to show it at a lesser zoom-level without cluttering up the view. Sometime

FWIW Spotify's latest big banner in their web/desktop app (something about christmas playlists) takes 100% CPU. I started noticing it after a while when my laptop got really hot and the Spotify Helper Process was stuck at 100%. Na

I've booted up my Amiga 1000 with external harddrive enclosure several times during the last decades and it is still working (including the drive and floppy drives). I'm kind of amazed. I have lots of older PC hard disks that have

Certainly: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.05720 It's a very interesting paper. "Even when trained purely on images without explicit depth information, they typically output coherent pictures of 3D scenes. In this

You usually say 2.5D when it's a 3D but only from a single vantage point with no info of the back-facing side of objects. Like the representation you get from a depth-sensor on a mobile phone, or when trying to extract depth from a sin

Research into the internals of the networks have shown that they figure out the correct 2.5D representation of the scene before the RGB textures (internally), so yes it seems they have an internal representation of the scene and therefore c

As a non-profit with the charter they have, their board was not supposed to be in business (at this scale). I guess this is where all of this diverged, a while ago now..

I'm annoyed that the author knows perfectly well what the code does, and yet he multiple times draws the clickbaity wrong conclusion that "the kernel has been hardcoded to use only 8 cores for 15 years" which is just patently

To be fair the use-cases in Apple's Vision Pro release were equally misguided. Like the dystopic one where the father has this gigantic hockey mask on his face when asking his kid to blow out the birthday candles. Or the girl packing h

The Narrative Clip is 18g, this is 55g... I can tell from experience that 18g on your t-shirt is OK, but just barely. A 55g is clunky like crazy. It's OK if you're going to do some action cam footage in a session, but not wearing

Direct gas collapse would work if there was little angular momentum in the region compared to the overdensity that starts to collapse. I'm sure this has been simulated, how probable is that?

Because we can see the distribution from the CMB, 380,000 years after the big bang. It's almost perfectly homogenous and isotropic. The images you see of the CMB are amplified a lot, the deviations are on the order of 10^-5 or somethin

The issue is not that caution is warranted or not, it's that it's cynically used by Sam Altman to increase the value of his company. I don't trust a silicon valley rich guy with this more than I trust anybody else. Why should

You don't need to go through Gimp or Inkscape, this is built-in to the auto1111 ControlNet UI. You just dump the existing photo there and you can select a bunch of pre-processors like edge-detection or 3D depth extraction, which is the

If the context was to use in a VR/AR headset it has to be real-time. And I guess that use-case, and the related that you interactively want to walk around a scene are two of the main use-cases

I remember fondly that I did a masters thesis back in 1997 implementing an MP3 decoder on a 40 MIPS DSP, that was also network connected. It might have been the first networked audio streamer in the world :) But I had to go with their super

Yeah I write CUDA kernels for my own projects as well. There won't be a shift if someone launches something that is 10% better, but if someone launches something that is twice the performance for the same price the companies with huge

I agree, there is a current technical limit in the token context but that's a limit in practice, not in theory. There are plenty of wrapper tools around LLMs that cleverly use the token window to keep a longer "state of mind"
