My company paid for some people to go to one of these “accelerate your company with AI” seminars - the recommendation that the “AI Expert” gave was to ask the LLM to include a percentage of how confident it was in its answers. I’m technical enough to understand that that isn’t how LLMs work, but it was pretty scary how people thought that was a reasonable, sensible idea.
I use Flutter professionally and really like it
Idk, even before Musk went full meth head things were already heading south pretty fast - they’d completely squandered their first mover advantage and their “move fast and break things” approach was really starting to take a toll on their brand reputation. Teslas were already starting to be known as expensive cars with terrible build quality, then the constant delays and broken promises about self driving did them no favors either.
A Tesla made sense when they were pretty much the only really viable luxury EV, but when you can get equivalent cars (with better build quality) from established Western manufacturers for ~75% the price or from a Chinese manufacturer for ~60%, what advantage do they have?
Musk’s cult of personally is/was a big part of it, so they are kinda screwed either way - the stink of Musk won’t instantly vanish if they get rid of him, and taints everything while he stays
Another point on this, in events like this the cell network is often under very significant stress as every single person tries to contact their family and friends at the same time to check if they are OK. The general advice is to avoid making phone calls if you can to keep capacity free for people who need to contact emergency services
Nothing - my employer pays for it - but if I was paying myself it would be $85NZD/month for 150GB 5G data, unlimited text and calling to NZ and Australia
Over COVID I was given 3 of the widgets that my company manufactures to take home in case I needed to help diagnose a customer problem. Stuck them in my backpack and walked to my car, then realized that my backpack was now worth about $150,000. When I got home I emailed my boss to confirm that, if my house were to burn down, the widgets would be covered under the companies insurance policy
Existence is suffering
If you are going to propose a law, you need to define “stupid”
I find it telling that AGI people seem to assume that AGI will spontaneously appear as a distinct entity with its own agency rather than being a product that will be owned and sold.
People who have hundreds of billions of dollars can get mid-single-digit percent ROI by making very safe investments with that money, but instead they are pouring it into relatively risky AI investments. What do you think that says about their expectations of returns?
To me, “fine” means “legal if you are rich enough”; I’d be for a system that if you get more than X speeding fines within a period, your license becomes provisional, and you have to resit the full license test within 6 months or loose it entirely. Maybe required people to have a “P” plate in the window while their license is provisional as a bit of social pressure as well.
Pretty much you’ve shown you aren’t familiar with the requirements to operate a vehicle on public roads, and need a reminder
At a guess:
A friend of mine seems to get a ticket about once a year on average (which I don’t get - I’ve been driving for 15 years and never got one) - the thing that really bugs me though is how angry and upset she gets when she does get one; like she’s been targeted personally for something entirely outside of her control, not that if you choose to consistently drive 10km/h over the limit you are eventually going to get pinged. She doesn’t seem to have the “nothing is ever my fault” attitude generally, but for speeding fines it’s like she doesn’t feel that responsibility as a driver or something. Idk people are weird
We misunderstood, we thought that we owned you and could do whatever we wanted
So realistically, what would happen if there was a collision like this?
It’s a pretty significant hit, but not enough to meaningfully change the moon’s orbit, so no long term impacts from that. Maybe a pretty meteor shower from the material ejected? Probably not enough material to cause a significant amount of surface heating.
See, the thing is I grew up outside the US and was taught about the civil rights movement as well - did they just not talk about what the police and federal government were doing for a century? Was it all framed as a minority of whites that were being racist or something?
Check them into Git, but be cautious about credentials that might live in the env files that you don’t want to expose if you end up making the repo publicly available.
Damn, toner is running out
… so I shouldn’t use the CEOs history of bankruptcy and failed a Kickstarter when judging if I think it is going to succeed or not?
IIRC Ubiquity make a line of point-to-point ethernet bridges that operate in the 20GHz range (because more bandwidth, and if you have line of sight you don’t care about interference as much). Responsible vendors won’t even sell you one without sighting a license cos they can also get in trouble for selling it to you if it turns out you are operating it illegally
Totally - “scary” as in “this is going to cause so many issues and get people into real trouble” more than “man people are stupid”
