Your comment helps prove my point because you didn’t stop at just the name. It takes more than “the name is a misleading” to be considered fraud. Tesla is guilty of more than just giving the feature a bad name. If you are arguing fraud, mention those other things. Because people don’t spend $40k+ based off a name of a feature.

I can still go to Verizon’s website today and find “Unlimited” plans so the name clearly wasn’t the problem in whatever lawsuits they might have been involved in.

And to reiterate, my point is not that Tesla is innocent. My point is that the most common argument used to point to their guilt is a stupid argument, especially considering there are better arguments available to argue the same underlying point.
Today I could be a lucky 10,000 - are emails case sensitive? I had always assumed you could pre-process (ie lowercase) them before insertion so that database case sensitivity was not an issue.
It makes the dev setup trivial, since there is no database server around.
JPEG XL was finalized 6-7 years after HEIF so I am not sure it is a good comparison. Especially seeing that JPEG XL was first finalized this and last year.
I'm simply observing that if you look at the history of these debates, there's a pretty coherent ideology to the winning side. That's all. Make of it what you will. If I got to bet on this debate before it occurred, I'd have put all my money on the "against the mainstream media" square, and then taken out a loan to get more money to put down.
One connection I've seen is energy-based models. I suppose you could try applying ML to things like fluid dynamics?

In general, it is thought that physics knowledge transfers better to ML than math because it's less abstract and physicists are more likely to be used to dealing with large datasets and software.

Well MIDI support is pretty cool, I could just go to Novation website and update SL49 firmware (after appropriate confirmation). Also Tasmota project has a firmware upload over serial, pretty accessible if you have Chrome.

I think Bluetooth could similarly be useful for e.g. heart rate monitoring apps for sports.
yes, awarded a million dollars for being fucking stupid.
Yes I do agree. But looking into many startups, many of them use it as a message queue with the ability for transformations (E.g. Spark).
If you are at a startup, sure. But many of us work at big companies that have the scale that requires specialized solutions. I just frustrated that everyone always seems to assume everyone is working on POCs at startups.
> Surely they're not meaning let front-end code hit the database directly?

Why not? You can make Postgres speak SQL or GraphQl it removes an additional network indirection and there are very clear ways about how Posgres does scale well and where it doesn't scale well. (EDIT: Or put a dump translation layer/service in-between they exist to and are cheap to run and manage.)

You can write your core logic in JS, Rust etc. and plug it into your database as virtual tables or shared procedures (it's surprisingly simple).

Any DDOS protection and similar is anyway in front of whatever you write as some form of proxyish thing.

And just needing to scale Postgres instead of a bunch of different systems is so much more simple. Depending on how you run it and what input characteristics you have it might even be more efficient and cheaper to scale that way (or it can be noticeable more expensive) and it's most times cheaper to manage.
I know many grad students at UC Berkeley who got the vaccine early because of this. If you're a grad student you /might/ be teaching classes, so apparently that meant anyone with a grad student ID (even a master's ID) could schedule a vaccine appointment before April. Most of these people weren't particularly at risk and were doing research from home.
> But at the very least I should not complain about people calling things CRDTs that actually fall under the actual definition

that's... a very reasonable response. Nice one.

I think the fuzz comes from the more esoteric CRDTs, which solve actually hard problems (traditionally solved by Operational Transforms). But I don't think I could have created a simple example in the blog post for one of these.
Tell me how it went ;-)

they do hold up for a while. but it's all ritualistic BS that is not needed. and to be clear, the teams WERE shipping. And were successful. But also quickly abandonned these methodologies in favor of some core values we implemented as a team. I don't think it's very graceful of you to assume my job was just a failure.

What I'm saying is that I was cargo culting too, because I personally believed in these methodologies.

But I realized after seeing many situations, that success is not linked to the usage of these methodologies

Please don't reduce LLM down to ChatGPT (or generative models more generally). People are using LLM for real-world problems every day. BERT and its descendants/variants are used all over the place for many different problems in natural language processing. I and my team have used it on dozens of different projects, mainly in classifying text documents and inputs. And it works very well. Multilingual LLMs are responsible for the huge improvements in machine translation; my team has to deal with text in multiple languages, and these models are vital there too. We have used LLM on real-world problems that are in production now and are saving hundreds of person-hours of tedious work.

ChatGPT? Yeah, it's neat. I'm sure people will find some useful niche for it. And I do think generative models will eventually have a big impact, once researchers find good ways to ground them to data and facts. This is already an active area of research -- combining generative LLMs with info retrieval methods, or targeting it to a specific context. (Meta just gave a talk last week at the NeurIPS conference about teaching a model to play Diplomacy, a game that mostly involves talking and negotiating deals with the other players. ChatGPT is too broad for that -- they just need a model that can talk about the state of the game board.) So in general, I'm optimistic about generative LLMs. But ChatGPT...is just a toy, really. It's not the solution -- it's one of the signposts along the way toward the real solution. It's a measure of progress.

In particular, the money was used to bail out a bunch of German banks, who as far as I can understand it ended up with all that debt because Germany was running a trade surplus with Greece directly enabled by the structure of the Eurozone without any corresponding fiscal transfers that would balance it out, and that in turm directly benefitted Germany as well.
Not surprising though. I'm sure this is just my stereotype, but I swear that most times such assumption comes along with interesting words which I don't understand at all (in this context) like "tools" "integration" "landscape" etc.

I'm not sure why you think I've done a bad job implementing these methodologies.

I've actually done a GREAT job. These teams shipped.

But I realized that they didn't ship because of the actual methodologies but the core set of values we implemented as a team.

ergo, these methodologies are a sham.
> Considering it's still being sold and marketed as 'Full self driving'.

The problem is that this isn’t what they do. They are extremely careful in their wording.

Go back through the archive.org backups of tesla.com/autopilot and watch how their wording changes.

Here’s what they say today:

> Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features, and full self-driving capabilities—through software updates designed to improve functionality over time.

Despite how you or any reasonable person reads it, Tesla can easily make the case that the cars (as sold today) do not have full-self driving available right now. The hardware in the cars does have the capability of allowing full self-driving at some nebulous point in the future (something that’s going to be very difficult to disprove).

The other thing the do is use Autopilot (capital A) as a branded feature that doesn’t mean anything like what autopilot (lowercase a) means to a reasonable person.
Thanks! The key point for me was that Russell put forward a strong case that the moral approach to the problems of artificial intelligence was to involve oneself with the evolution of these technologies where you can (8000hours style) and seek (in whatever limited capacity one can) to guide them away from the excesses and damages of the invisible hand (and the human condition it is a proxy for).

This would have been influential to me when I was a teenager and nihilistic about accelerating technology in the hands of distinctly-not-developing humankind (reading all about the Manhattan-project forebears to AI), but after devoting a decade to science and being fascinated yet boycotting of AI research and it's implications, I think it has ended up a bit too late for a change of heart and direction to have as much positive impact.

For those fortunate enough to be in a position of even trivial influence over the cutting-edge, and whose moral sophistication can therefore matter more than the next person, I hope you don't take the implications of whatever agency you may have lightly!
this is one way

Then everyone who needs an organ would register. So now you need to say this benefit is only available too far in the future to affect the calculation - and you don’t influence the healthy people either.
Increasingly I don't think the question of "what is intelligence" is so useful or relevant here. It feels a bit like arguing over whether the "artificial horse" that started appearing at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th C were actually horses. Cars weren't, and still aren't, but that misses the point.

AI isn't intelligent, and never will be, and I don't think that matters all that much.
I think that while the original composition of the team changes the traditions, attitudes and strategy definitely translates across the different generations of players, coaches and staff. It’d be different if a team was completely cycled through to a new set of members every period of time.
I think you should just take a more American view of the situation.

Greece is like the poor US southern states. The richer states fund them (no loans, just give them money, never get it back), because "we're all Americans". You could call it stealing, or you could call it the way things are.

It's a good thing for Europe to have Greece within the EU (and probably even within the eurozone). Asking them to be financially self-sufficient might be as silly as asking the same thing of Alabama or Mississippi ...
it's a huge waste of space and now you have to have triggers somewhere to keep the index field consistent.

I must have missed that memo. Do you have a reliable source for this?
but it's also oracle db i.e. expensive, especially expensive support and tones of hidden annoying complexity not publicly well documented. For most companies doing the same in Postgres is just cheaper even if there is a bit less low-code provided out of the box.
It sounds a lot like something Musk promised in 2019: "Next year for sure, we will have over a million robotaxis on the road," "The fleet wakes up with an over-the-air update. That's all it takes."

The most generous interpretation is that Musk is delusional and out of touch with his company and his technology. But I think it is more accurately described as bullshit ("speech intended to persuade without regard for truth") or a lie (making knowingly false statements).

I think the interesting question is whether that legally ends up being fraud in the context of a civil suit. Whatever was going on in Musk's head (deluded, reckless, or lying) it seems like Tesla as an entity should have known that the cars were not actually self driving and that customers could reasonably think they were getting self driving.
He does run a cult.

My father finds Musk entirely reputable. I am currently subject to at least a 30 minute call a day from him, a retired model S owner, who has nothing left in his life other than the Tesla. The calls are 30 minutes of him reeling off Tesla PR bollocks. He chased everyone he knew away, speaks of nothing else and cannot see reason or error in this or any of Musk's things. He thinks the Twitter thing is a freedom grab, he literally thinks SpaceX are building rockets to take the good humans off and build a new world order on Mars. To get the model S in the first place he cashed in his annuity pension and sold his house and is now on a downward spiral of financial oblivion.

This is exactly cult behaviour.

I'm at a loss of what to do other than refer him to mental health services here in the UK.

that's true for any sociopolitical system, and the reason why i push back on dichotomous thinking, especially "left-right" or "democrat-republican" in political discussions. this is the central exploration of Wisdom of Crowds, which i recommend to everyone even though it's considered 'old' now.
Regardless of chemistry, toxicity, or biology, I consider it morally wrong to lie to myself. Sweeteners are lies. They are lies to yourself about what you are eating. Scary effective lab-synthesized coctails or refined natural extracts, it's all LIES. If I want sweet, I eat sugar. If sugar is bad, then by applying a bit of self-discipline I just don't buy it.

People are always looking for the easy way out. Cheap, industrially manufactured lies so you don't have to face the truth: Your self-discipline sucks. Put some effort into it and you'll not only stop lying to yourself and improve your diet, you'll also become a better human being.

No, it isn't free. You have to implement the support for the AVIF container. This is why libavif exists.
This is disappointing to see, I had high hopes for JXL.
But that would just be failing to assume good faith from the onset, which is a problem on its own (especially if we’re trying to interpret legal stuff).
I think I mostly agree with you too, and what you've said has been interesting and I appreciate it.

> Who are you to say they're being a bully? Maybe their intent really is to show tough love and honesty.

I think there are two places where we differ.

1. When you are being bullied, you know you are being bullied, and you are the expert who can say it's happening. It's possible to misinterpret this, and the tactics you propose are correct, but I don't like the implication that there's simply no way to know. In my view, a relationship is an epistemology; you know someone is bullying you by the process you know that someone loves you, it may not be possible to describe, it may not be infallible, but it is real. (Perhaps part of the difference in thinking here is that I'm saying you can know someone is being a bully in this way, not whether they are, in their heart of hearts, a bully.)

2. Their intent to show you "tough love and honesty" is not at all inconsistent with being a bully. Consider the character of Tony Soprano, if you're familiar. One of his central struggles is that he deeply cares about people, but the only way he can relate to the world is through violence and intimidation.

When I say that the bullies I've encountered in my have justified themselves through "tough love", I don't mean to say that they were lying. Only that, as GGGP pointed out, it's not an acceptable way to communicate.

As much as I like and use CSV for database work, it has a problem with being poorly specified. The most common problems are when processing CSVs produced elsewhere which might not enclose text fields with quotes and thus have issues with data that includes commas and multi-line data.

AWS Aurora has been working well for me in general.
Companies sometimes do things that don't make much sense. If you are not familiar with what is and what isn't "normal", it can be hard to tell the difference.

For example, when I company I worked for sent me on a business trip, I was supposed to buy the flight ticket using my own money, then bring them then receipt, and then they would pay me the money back. Why couldn't they buy the flight ticket themselves instead? They knew when and where I am traveling; they were the ones deciding that. It would be easier for one HR person to buy 5 tickets at once whenever one of the teams went to a business trip, than for 5 developers to buy the tickets individually and figure out the rules.

This totally felt like a scam (use your own money to buy something we want to buy, and you only have our word that will get the money later back), except it didn't make sense, because it was a large international company employing thousands of people, and I have already worked there for months. And yes, it was perfectly legit. Just needlessly complicated and weird.

So the fact that a company does something weird and needlessly complicated doesn't necessarily make it a scam. It's just likely a scam when they do it before paying you the first salary.
PETA takes UK military to court for rejecting fake fur hats
I'm a history major and love classical history. My first question to ChatGPT was:

> Why was Julius Caesar murdered?

The answer was the following, which would pass a standard exam question on the topic. It exhibits [the appearance of] multi-layer reasoning and has a nice conclusion.

> Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March in 44 BC by a group of Roman senators who believed he had become too powerful and posed a threat to the Roman Republic. The senators were concerned that Caesar had ambitions to become king, which would have ended the Republic and given him absolute power. The senators were also concerned about Caesar's growing popularity with the people of Rome. They believed that assassinating him was the only way to prevent him from becoming too powerful and destroying the Republic.

It's interesting to note that most of the evidence for this answer including 2000 years of interpretation is available in textual form on the Internet. It's easily accessible to LLMs.
Omg

did you listen to what that member of the EU parliament says in the interview in the video?

In theory, that's where a lot of individual NIH grants are supposed to do - K level and R level grants. However, NIH people tend to have gotten risk adverse so they look to certain parameter to "vet" whoever gets the money amongst all sorts of applications. The idea is one thing, but also - whose lab you're being mentored in, prior funding success, etc etc play an equal if not more important role.

I think the problem then is...if you have some promising directions from preliminary work, to test an idea in clinical trials, it is not cheap. You have to hire a large army of clinicians, nurses, research people, etc etc to manage all the patients/subjects x 10,000 or 50,000. So there has to be at least some politicking to steer where all the research funds go to. And people who are better at "finessing" scientific review boards tend to bubble to the top
