It's crazy to me how entitled some people are. I've seen many posts on Reddit where people think they should be able to use a service like YouTube for free without ads. YouTube isn't free to run, and they offer an ad-free ser

Mixed reality headsets can already do holograms, and there is a clear path to improving them.

Seems like the Teslas in that video do better than most ICE vehicles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmm7AfLMAqY

In most cases, I'd guess that an EV would outperform an ICE vehicle when wading through water, as the battery can be fully sealed and there's no risk of water-locking the engine due to the absence of intakes or exhausts.

I'm guessing they actually waded through a significant amount of water, like this, instead of merely driving in the rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzA0U53HF2g

Really? I was under the impression that it is available to everyone. Are you attempting to access the API? There might be a waitlist for that. But, it should be readily available for use here: https://www.anthropic.com/index

From what I've observed, companies lean on Leetcode primarily to discern one of two things about a candidate: 1. They're inherently adept at problem-solving and can navigate these challenges with negligible practice. 2. They'

Consider a mega consulting firm with millions of von Neumann-like analysts. Together, they've processed the same vast data that LLMs have, but individually, none could. It's not an LLM, but its purpose is like ChatGPT: assisting c

Don't humans operate similarly? We gain knowledge through experiences. These AI models effectively condense a vast amount of experience data into weights. Considering the global race in AI advancements, I'm skeptical about the suc

Tesla's role in shaping the EV landscape is undeniable. Their advent redefined the trajectory of electric mobility when major automakers were largely dismissive of the concept. With the success of their Model S, and more the Model 3, T
