  1. This is super cool. Would love to see a Z80 simulator set up with these examples to play with!
  2. You know, I'm no hydraulic press expert, but I'm pretty sure that isn't a hydraulic press.
  3. If you read the release, it explicitly does not include the likenesses of human actors. Only animated and illustrated characters are included. (Although, that does cover animated/illustrated versions of characters that are typically portrayed by human actors...)

    This is almost certainly due to the photographic/human likenesses of actors being under an entirely separate license and royalty contract than pure IP from Disney.

  4. The ping-ponging is certainly a Gen1 problem. (My Gen1 does this.) Gen1 was essentially an off-the-shelf Mobileye unit, and the performance was, as expected, not good.

    Gen2 autonomy stack is completely unrelated to Gen1, and from what I hear is a completely different level of reliability.

    (also - this presentation covered yet another, unrelated, gen3 autonomy stack, which shares none of the hardware or models with the existing gen2 stack, either.)

  5. I think the revenue source times number of people using Plex for audiobooks as a total market value for Rivian is approximately zero.
  6. That was specifically for their existing Gen2 highway assist expansion. Not the Gen3 custom silicon full autonomy that they were discussing for the rest of the presentation.
  7. Seems like the search is based only on the transcript/dialogue - not an image embedding. Would be super cool to actually use some CLIP/embedding search on these for a more effective fuzzy lookup.
  8. That is something that Macs do at the system level (if you were experiencing this on a Mac)
  9. This is super cool, and exactly what I’d want! Although I just tried creating a Drop (twice) and it didn’t seem to work.
  10. This is AI-written.

    - Ten em-dashes

    - "not just A, but B"

        - wasn’t just a vacuum cleaner; it was a small computer on wheels
        - they didn’t merely create a backdoor; they utilized it
        - they hadn’t merely incorporated a remote control feature. They had used it to permanently disable my device
    
    - incessant bullet points/markdown-style formatting

    - And an overly dramatic/promotional tone

    Obviously the image is AI as well, but /shrug

  11. Oh boy. Is this not essentially a neuralese CoT? They’re explicitly labelling z/z_L as a reasoning embedding that persists/mutates through the recursive process, used to refine the output embedding z_H/y. Is this not literally a neuralese CoT/reasoning chain? Yikes!
  12. This is almost certainly LLM generated.

    Six flowery “from-to”s in one article:

    >from beginners to seasoned professionals

    >from seasoned backend engineers to first-time data analysts

    >from GPU acceleration and distributed training to model export

    >from data preprocessing with pandas and NumPy to model serving via FastAPI

    >from individual learners to enterprise teams

    >from frontend interfaces to backend logic

    And more annoyingly, at least four “not just X, but Y”.

    >it doesn’t just serve as a first step; it continues adding value

    >that clarity isn’t just beginner-friendly; it also lowers maintenance costs

    >the community isn’t just helpful, it’s fast-moving and inclusive

    >this network doesn’t just solve problems; it also shapes the language’s evolution

    And I won’t mention the em-dashes out of respect to the human em-dash-users…

    This stuff is so tiring to read.

  13. The fact that the first ad on the page (for me) is a scam for "Free Robux!" is hilarious.
  14. It’s still my strongly held belief that things like this are one of humanity’s grandest achievements.
  15. I’ll give it a shot. Zippers/velcro are critical for most modern military gear. Elevators are used to increase the storage capacity for warplanes on aircraft carriers. Thermometers (well, any temperature sensing device) are important for many weapons systems, guidance computers, etc. Wind turbines… hmm, the infamous Stuka siren was basically a wind turbine welded to the side of the plane!

    (This is mostly facetious)

  16. From my experience every hotel integrated charger is barely 5V 0.5A, much less PD or anything else. Parent comment was talking about the integrated usb chargers in rooms, if I’m understanding correctly (hence the need to still bring their own)
  17. As a counterpoint, Rust is one of the languages that AI is worst at writing - currently, at least.

    Perhaps there could be a future where the compiler/checker will be able to integrate more closely with whichever agent is attempting to write Rust - more closely than the current paradigm, where a hapless Claude repeatedly bashes its head into the borrow checker to no avail.

  18. It’s always been Craugh for me.
  19. Ah, I’ve tried that one, but I must be doing something wrong. I give it a fully specified working program, and often times it gives me back one that only works 50% of the time!
  20. Why don't I remember the Ueno station being an electronic office telephone ringtone...
  21. I couldn’t stop reading the GPT-1 responses. They’re hauntingly beautiful in some ways. Like some echoes of intelligence bouncing around in the latent space.
  22. Yeah. I’m sure the technical content is great but the AI style is overwhelmingly distracting.
  23. Technically, a quintic superellipse, in modern times.
  24. DF cares much more about frame timings, not necessarily framerate. In many of their videos they praise games which achieve a locked, stable, hitch-free, 30fps. In some cases, frame time stability can be almost as important, or even more, than absolute average framerate.

    Especially when Unreal has been infamous for shader compilation stutter, where even a on-the-surface 60fps average can feel terrible due to inconsistent frame timing and hitches.

  25. $14US in Seattle will barely get you a side of fries. A popular place near me (not fancy!) lists their pretzel+dip appetizer for $17US, or €14.50.

    With these prices, restaurants and eating out in general has become completely inaccessible to a huge swath of people. And even for those who can afford it, it’s a less frequent treat. It has a noticeable impact on the liveliness of the city and the social vibe, from my experience.

  26. > a ∼3B-parameter on-device model
  27. This research has been done, it was a core pillar of the recent Anthropic paper on token planning and interpretability.

    https://www.anthropic.com/research/tracing-thoughts-language...

    See section “Does Claude plan its rhymes?”?

  28. They did.
  29. I believe they are talking about how the range/capacity is significantly affected in deep cold weather. It's not about life-or-death that you'll freeze to death - it's that your 300mi EV turns into a 150mi EV and that makes range planning unpredictable and more challenging in rural areas.
  30. As a genuine human I am really struggling to untangle that story. Maybe I needed to pay more attention in freshman lit class, but that is definitely a brainteaser.
