I think that FSD v12 is at a point where it went from a useless liability to a useful product. It's definitely not perfect though.

Yeah haha I mean even when you buy a consumer camera like, say, a Sony a7 or whatever, it doesn't come with the lens.

That's true, but this article was also from before the Starlink Generation 2 Mini satellites with magnitude > 7 came out. > Darkening satellites to 7th magnitude would simplify removal of some artifacts in LSST images, but there

> If these LEO satellites can be darkened to 7th magnitude, then a new instrument signature removal algorithm can remove some of the residual artifacts. The current generation of Starlink satellites is already above the 7th magnitude, so

Wow yes, 10.31 m (f/1.23) overall (optical diameter of 8.360 m). That's insane.

3200 megapixels custom CCD array cooled to about -100 °C sounds amazing. The 3.5 degree FoV is around 700 mm focal length equivalent on a full frame camera which makes this relatively wide field by telescope standards, allowing it to captur

Astral is really doing God's work in the land of Python. Ruff is an incredible time saver.

because writing python is a lot easier for most people than writing rust but changing from pip to uv is like a one liner?

And then five people died after a commercial airliner hit an earthquake aid plane in Tokyo literally two days after 2023 ended.

Yeah but by the time you're able to afford one you will be married with kids and therefore prioritize practicality over drifting.

Sports cars, in general, are much loved but seldom bought.

Low end torque is not that relevant to electrical generation, which typically involves the motor constantly running at a constant rpm. So, since low end torque is a weakness of the Wankel engine, that actually makes it more suitable for ele

nit: it's spelt Wankel not Wankle. Also for those who don't know, it's pronounced /ˈvaŋkl̩/ or /ˈvaŋkəl̩/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). In German, "W" is pronounced as "V&quo

There's now a whole generation of 20 year old programmers who have never used the toolbars of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Tiny buttons toolbars were the norm for decades in, say, Windows Explorer and Microsoft Word, before Microsoft transitioned to the "Ribbon" style in 2007. Personally I think that people who enjoy those buttons do so for nostalgia

The video explains that he needs beefy specs for programming and video editing so he got the Ryzen 7 with 32 GB of ram which is hard to find in other "2-in-1" laptops or tablets like the Yoga 9i. Plus, due to wrist pain and stuff,

Yes that "qu" kerning is a problem indeed, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. There are also some small technical typesetting issues in the samples, for example, by using straight quotes instead of true quotation ma

It would still be good to have AI as a fallback to help the fishies out when no humans are online though...

bluray also just has better image quality and it is a little sad that the image quality of the average movie watcher has decreased slightly from bluray to streaming.

Does it have search by keywords/semantics? That would be my main need. For example if I need to find photos of red algae I could just search for that. OpenAI open sourced CLIP a couple of years ago: https://github.com/o

My understanding is that nowadays most of the heavy lifting is done by magic going on in the firmware, so the actual driver is relatively simple and is open source: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

Indeed, compression is just the dual problem of prediction, so the better you are at predicting the next move, the better you can compress.

The new satellites are 18% as reflective as the original ones despite being bigger.

This seems very obvious in retrospect but I literally didn't think of that.

Just curious, how does one get to the middle of the Dark Sky Sanctuary to do some astronomy stuff without driving a car and ruining everyone's astronomy with the headlights?

> LED lights are probably a bigger problem though Yeah white lights can't be filtered out whereas sodium vapor lamps' narrow emission spectrum can be easily blocked by special filters.

FWIW, SpaceX has been actively working to make the Starlink satellites darker --- painting them black, adding a sun visor, working with the International Astronomical Union, etc --- so it is a bit disingenuous to suggest that they are &quot

For comparison, Groq [1] has (price per million tokens of input vs output): Llama 2 70B (4096 Context Length) ~300 tokens/s $0.70/$0.80 Llama 2 7B (2048 Context Length) ~750 tokens/s $0.10/$0.10 Mix

That makes sense but the principle of "more data = more better" suggests that maybe training an LLM on all the possible data and then fine tuning it to only spit out the best answers might be better than only training it on only t
