Whether it is Elon or Altman that controls it has nothing to do with how open or not openAI is. And it has become very clear that OpenAI is nothing but Microsoft in a trenchcoat. No matter his motives, I applaud this lawsuit. Who cares if h

I would give just about anything to watch an NBA game played on the moon. Make the court 4x bigger, the hoops 3x taller. The revenue for this would pay for several Starships.

I know nothing about wood but does this mean that the heartwood has relatively wide ring spacing (since it grew when the tree was low and small?

Yes! I have diabetes. Believe me I am aware of this. A vial of my humalog approaches $300. A visit to the endo is $500 on the bill. But there is no reason why these things are so expensive! Other than that I have to have insurance so I have

It's expensive because I can't move doctors, and I and my employer have to buy a stupid financial product to even see a doc. How much of that $400 goes towards the doc anyway? Towards payments on the MRI machine? Towards the offic

> the shuttle Sort of proving the point here, no? There is a reason SpaceX has gone to orbit more times than the Shuttle has. Soon they will have launched more Starship prototypes than the shuttle ever did. And they will be safer, becaus

It makes sense that you don't see the value of Rust if you spend most of your time developing solo. The value of these checks is not just to reduce bugs in production code. It's nice that that happens, but that's not even the

Luck tends to average out over many trials.

I completely agree, but even further: health insurance is itself a silly thing. Insurance is for: - costly things - that happen rarely - in an unpredictable way These are characteristics of things that are well suited to insurance. Healthca

It does make sense though. Accurate global illumination is very strongly represented in nearly all training data (except illustrations) so it makes sense that the model learned an approximation of it.

Nuclear material has the fantastic property that you can precisely measure the danger. Regardless of the specifics of the material, regardless of the geometry, size, surface coating, chemical composition -- a geiger counter will tell you ex

CVXpy is a frontend that transforms problems into a form that different solvers can understand. It does make it very easy to format problems in Python but you still need a solver like Gurobi on the backend. You can use a variety of solvers

The embedded Rust story, at least for small projects on cortex series MCUs is pretty good. There is embedded-hal which just reached v1.0. This lets anyone to write a HAL against those traits and have drivers and application code across the

Why spend almost $1,000 to rent an A10 GPU? You can purchase a used 3090 outright for that much.

I am skeptical of benchmarks in general, to be honest. It seems to be extremely difficult to come up with benchmarks for these things (it may be true of intelligence as a quality...). It's almost an anti-signal to proclaim good results

I'll just say: I have Type 1 diabetes, and in my lifetime, we have invented - fast acting analog insulins that are metabolized in 2-3 hours instead of 6-7 - insulin pumps that automatically dose exactly the right proportion of insulin

They must be using techniques from NeRF in here, maybe in tokenization? The artifacts are unmistakeable.

Pricing doesn't make sense. What does a CPU hour mean for this framework? How many do I need?

Any article about e/acc that does not mention cryptocurrency is missing something fundamental. It smells funny, because it is. People in e/acc claim to be "building" something fundamental that will change the world, chan

The quad these guys are using is a Crazyflie. Small, mostly prebuilt, targeted at researchers. It has a few "addons" like optical flow sensors and external position trackers that let you extract ground truth attitude/position

I'm not convinced. I'm sure some of the people talking about alignment have commercial motives, but it's a minority. For most, it's a philosophical/ideological position. And that isn't even OpenAI's wheelh

What's so enraging about this "I can't answer that because it might..." is that it's patronizing. It places whoever was in charge of aligning the model above the user. It doesn't remove bias, it bakes it in. We

There are some good things in here, like not closing the door on yourself early, not giving lowball numbers, the overall mindset that you're in a negotiation with a corporation that negotiates salaries all day every day. But what he de

One thing that surprised me when moving from mechanical CAD to EDA programs is the lack of "relations." I have not used the more professional tools, just KiCad, but it surprised me that there are not more variables, relations, con

Making something like youtube would be much easier technically than it would have been in 2006 or so. A solo dev could create a small scale streaming service for HTML5 video pretty reasonably. It's the copyright that's the problem
