I'm excited about this. I hope this starts a snowball of other manufacturers. The NACS plug is much nicer than the monstrosity that is CCS1. Hopefully, it gets us to a less fragmented ecosystem here in the US. Yes, I know Tesla could h

What's wrong with EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested)? It seems sensible to me without knowing too much about it.

This doesn't seem technically feasible to me. The state of the art will for a long time require a lot more hardware to run than it's available on a consumer device. Beyond which, inference also benefits from parallelization, not

Look, there's nothing unusual or ironic about the use of "silver bullet" in either the top level comment or the first response. That's just how the idiom is used. I would be curious if you could offer an example of &quot

> No, it's just a bit complex, but it depends on use - and today it is for a number of reasons more common to see "silver bullet" for "ineffective but seducing". It is a (non-)"solution" that /is b

I don't quite understand your comment, but I think you have your definition of "silver bullet" backwards. It means a solution that works incredibly, almost magically, well.

I just want to say, as someone who was of the "but is it really that bad" opinion before, this was helpful for me to understand the situation a lot better. Thanks! It's actually a really interesting problem. I had a vague ide

The video overview says the journey in data is "just starting". That's exciting! Any ideas or vision for where it's going in the future? Also, I noticed in the demo that installing polars was very fast! Was the video tri

This is fascinating, thanks for explaining this use case. It sounds like it's a fancy way to get a generic LLM to understand your domain by including the relevant context in a prompt. What about specializing the LLM in the first place?

Does it work...? The examples given at the bottom of the post were pretty great, but could easily have been cherry picked. I'd be curious to see how it performs against standard benchmarks. But I love the thought here. I didn't re

Do we know how much it cost to train GPT-4? (Or would cost, if done by someone not trained in Azure by someone partnered with Microsoft?) My impression, without looking into it now, is training GPT-3 was on the order of $1-10 million. GPT-4

Looking at the repo's mix file it seems to use poolboy for pooling. Given that dashbit and José helped out, was nimble_pool considered?

I hear people with these outrageous examples and I have to wonder how or what you're actually trying? I just asked GPT-4 (via chat.openai.com): > Which is more similar, Apples & Oranges or Lisp & Almonds? and it said: > W

The thing they're all missing is volume. I bought my Tesla in December, because my old car was dying and I was ready to get an EV. I drove an hour and a half away to test drive a Bolt, a VW dealership near me had a 2021 id.4 to test dr

lobste.rs is pretty good, in terms of higher tech discussion signal to noise, I think, though it still does have a bit of a political bent. Email me if you want an invite.

If you have a garage, by far the biggest benefit is charging overnight, starting the day with a full charge, and never having to go to a gas station. If you don't have convenient home charging, I'm not sure I'd recommend an E

One thing I don't understand well is how much computation using GPT-4 takes. Some of these discussion remind me of Bitcoin as a global payments processor: sure, it can work, but it's doing a tremendous amount of computation and th

I'd really like something to help with that issue. I really appreciate Zig's error handling right up until you need to pass along any info other than essentially an error code. Then you have to throw away a lot of the syntax nicet

Be careful out there reading blogs. Maybe I'm biased because I have a degree in Econ from MIT, but I'd highly recommend starting out with the "orthodox" treatment of the subject, as you'd learn at a university. To t

I don't really understand the threat model here. Surely "launch the nukes" is not available as a public API. I would expect anyone with networked services (at least those that are important or serious) already take precaution

I feel like we're missing a key part of banking infrastructure: somewhere to just park cash. Start-ups who raise a Series A aren't looking to earn 1% on it - it seems silly that they can't really do anything with it that does

The introduction of Mix.install in Elixir 1.12 was huge. Prior to that single file Elixir scripts could only use the standard library, which is decently sized, counting Erlang but notably misses a good HTTP client and JSON encoding/dec

Are there any good up to date Phoenix books yet? I have Programming Phoenix, but it feels like these days with LiveView and unified function components, best practices are kind of different now.

I was disappointed to see this is just a cheap joke. I'd actually be interested to see how well one of the new LLMs does, if you give it a description and some of the code and ask it to name the class for you. Naming is hard. I think i

Sanderson is very transparent and has weekly fan updates for what he's working on, and annual recaps and stuff. He's mentioned being in talks with Hollywood several times. So it's only a question of when, not if. But, yeah, I

One round of layoffs at every company is just coming off the hiring bender of the last few years. But a second... that portends a third... and a general collapse of tech a la the dotcom crash. I had't been too worried yet, despite feel
