Opening up the NACS standard is nice too. They have a wall at the Deer Creek office full of patents underneath the next "all our patent are belong to you".

Sycophancy in LLMs is a real problem. Here's a paper from Anthropic talking about it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.13548

To be fair, the original article was rather terrible. Like what the heck is with the "modern embellishment"?

Yes I am very bad at arguing. But it doesn't change the facts which is that Tesla FSD is vastly better at driving than anything else out there.

In that "worst system" result it actually scored full marks on Adaptive Cruise Control Performance and got dinged points on subjective points such as "Driving Collaboration". The conclusion states that it excels at drivi

Not really. 1. the AEB may run on a different codepath than FSD 2. AEB needs to decide when it is appropriate to override the driver, e.g. if the driver is behaving as though they are paying attention, e.g. by repeatedly stepping on the acc

AEB has nothing to do with self driving or Autopilot.

It doesn't, but it can't go faster than 40 mph so it wouldn't be pleasant to go 40 mph while people are zooming past you at 70 mph on the empty autobahn.

Waymos offer truly driverless rides in San Francisco. I just took one last week, without anyone in the driver seat. It's great!

I'm sorry, you're right. I got confused with some other papers like Plenoxels that use voxels.

by porphyra 3y ago
On the contrary I'm quite surprised how well FSD performs. Of course, it's not fully autonomous like Waymo, but here in the Bay Area it works remarkably well on the suburban stroads outside of San Francisco. I basically never have

I'm sorry but there's no way that Subaru EyeSight can "trounce" FSD. Maybe it is slightly better in some scenarios than legacy Autopilot which came out many years ago and hasn't been updated since. Tesla FSD is vast

Do you know of any that support HDMI 2.1 properly for 8K 60 Hz monitors? I currently just have a USB switch and two HDMI 2.1 cables, and manually change the input on the screen each time.

Keeping door and windows open while it's very cold or very hot outside can lead to extremely high heating/air conditioning bills. Meanwhile, high quality energy recovery ventilators that can exchange air with the outside without r

The original NERF paper had a voxel-like grid, but instead of regular voxels with a single color per grid cell, they had an MLP in each cell that models the color as a function of position and angle.

by porphyra 3y ago
More like point clouds since they are not constrained to a grid. NERF is more like voxels though.

In chess positions, a similar sequence of moves starting from a slightly different position would result in a completely different position. For example, imagine playing 10 moves identically in two games, but in one of them, 20 moves ago, a

One piece of evidence that LLMs form some sort of internal reasoning model is the stochastic parrot chess engine: https://parrotchess.com/ Despite it being statistically improbable for it to have seen every chess position b

Do they still count over-the-air software updates as "recalls" that negatively impact the reliability? I don't have the CR subscription so I can't see the detailed breakdown...

Tesla puts a lot of effort into battery and powertrain reliability but relatively little effort into more visible things such as panel gaps, lights, interior trim, etc.

I appreciate that there are higher end devices but as someone who can definitely tell the difference between different sushi bar rice, I'm still satisfied with my Zojirushi rice cooker.

How do you prevent the sun from damaging the sensor over time?

That's a very cool anecdote. What did she end up doing? I guess you'll need something like an integrating sphere? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_sphere Photography reviews often measure vignetting

That makes sense. What kind of sensor does it use to track the stars though? Stars are very dim.

How does it see the stars? Even modern CMOS image sensors cannot see the stars during the day.
