you're correct that this sort of persistent world modeling is needed for self driving cars, but from what I've heard from friends who work in the industry, both cruise and waymo have it. they're very far from using a plain CN

hmm, that explains the color, but it doesn't explain the coherence. it is cool though, aerogel makes a lot of sense to use for this.

huh that's really interesting about fire's emission spectrum! regarding 6400k - even assuming the sun's spectrum matched the black body spectrum of its surface temperature, its surface temperature is closer to 5770k. but even

psa: you can get this thing, which isn't the most precise ever, but lets you see this spectral information about lights for cheap: https://www.amazon.com/EISCO-Premium-Quantitative-Spectrosco... - I got one and WHEW CF

No, there are more dimensions than just data efficiency; what I would say is that humans are just about as data efficient as you could possibly hope for _at that wattage_. It's easy to do better than evolution at something it wasn&#x27

As someone who went, I agree. I think most people who do it right now consider the high price to be a donation to help them scale, rather than an actual product-for-money trade. I'd pay $500, maybe, if I thought the marginal benefit th
