>They can even “look”under the car in front of you and get a return for the next car in front of them, to better predict braking needs.

I miss that feature the most, even though my Tesla has radar it has been disabled via software. With that feature I would know if the person immediately in front of me was going slow, and I could/should overtake or if there were a line of cars in front. I used that feature daily, made me feel a bit superhuman.
Just chiming in to confirm this anecdote - the only difference is that the machine I gave my partner was a macbook air, not pro. Still works fine for almost all normal person use cases.
Yes, this was my logic. A model trained on bird song may make birds turn their heads when it babbles something in their frame of reference, but if you want to "use LLM" to make it human comprehensible you need a human LLM at some point, which will impose humanity on its input regardless of what you feed it, because all a human LLM can represent is human language. A human LLM can't help but make whatever it is used on human. A bird LLM would have the same effect; no matter what you feed it, you'll get something in the bird input's space.
If your only point is that “the modality of ChatGPT is that it responds to prompts, therefore it’s a next token predictor”, then sure. You’re not wrong, but it’s an extremely oversimplified explanation of what GPT is. It’s basically the most boring argument you could make about GPT.

Yes, GPT is code that only runs when you, erm… run it. It’s not an autonomous being that’s cut loose on the internet and given free reign to use as much compute resources as it wants, a la skynet, replying to random forum posts. But nobody’s really saying that it is, so it seems a strange argument to say “it’s just a next token predictor”, if by that you really mean “it only runs when you give it a prompt.”

The modality of GPT is that it responds to prompts, but the interesting question is “are the responses given a sign of intelligence?”. Saying “no, it’s just a next token predictor” is IMO a sign of a motte-and-bailey fallacy. Your motte is that it only works in response to prompts (trivially true and uninteresting), and your bailey is that it has no intelligence (very debatable and IMO false.)
I believe most of those are so-called compliance cars, cars designed to mainly satisfy imposed legal requirements, such as weighted average of CO2 emissions for a brand.
Alternative data market projected to grow from $7B this year to $150B in 2030
That's not the point.

Parking sensors are pretty much standard in this price range, and have been for quite a while.
I think you missed the point of the parent comment. My experience with ChatGPT is that it responds to each and every thing sent to it. It doesn't seem to have the ability to not respond.

The original question was, given that there were X comments which could be replied to on this page, how and why did the poster decide to respond to the one to which they responded, rather than either "all" (like ChatGPT would) or "none?"

Read_csv - yes. I just tried loading a 5MM row csv. Pandas took 5.5 secs. Polars took 0.6 secs.

.apply - might be faster in Polars but will not be as fast as using native expressions. That’s because applying a Python function invokes the GIL which kills parallelization and this is an inherent limitation of Python.

That said, I try not to use Python functions these days. I write transformations in SQL (or native expressions in Polars) and these can be executed at full speed with complete vectorization and parallelization.
This is amazing and a great panacea for the pain caused by the ai copycat products I have been seeing flooding YC.

New breakthroughs in transportation is the need of the hour.

One of the reasons the world is teetering on a recession right now is there has been not a lot of physical changes to the world around us to create new worlds which software can then eat again.

Projects like this then, give me a lot of hope.
Seems like he was gaming the various academic ratings systems by getting lots of things published with his name on them.
Thought for sure this would be about TempleOS
I feel your pain and i would lie if a k8s update never caught me off guard, but there are still policies you can set for the autoupdate of k3s or trigger them manually at will.

have a look at k3s and maybe you will like kubernetes more again. There is no magic to it. Have a faulty node? spin up a new one.

And if your hoster is kind enough, there will even be apis with cloudinit for you to do that.

Im not trying to imply that you need a managed k3s with this post, but rather trying to show how easy kubernetes can be if you leave the big clouds and try not to overcomplicate things.
Seems premature to cut costs on a system that doesn’t work yet.
The only infotainment system a car needs is a dumb screen that supports CarPlay and Android Auto.

And yet for some reason GM is planning to remove CarPlay and Android Auto from their EV lineup in the next year or so, because screw you consumers.
The use case of my neighbor is apparently backing into his garage. Though also mentioned something about sensing the garage door behind him (to make sure he pulled in far enough?). So I'm not exactly sure why it's important to him, but it's a big feature for him, at least.

As for parking, I'd let actual owners comment, but as I was sitting in the front seat, yeah, there's blind spots like a lot of modern cars, but not so much that sensors would be a requirement for me personally. Backup camera would be good enough for my purposes.

Bio: If there's a neat summary for a career that has included development on everything from original cancer research, companion interactive web experiences for live television, an in-browser user-generated content editor for a 3d javascript rendering engine, and editor tools for desktop live broadcasting software I have yet to find it.

Nearly 10 years of industry experience, primarily in the media and entertainment industries working on high-performance frontend experiences. As a senior SDE in the trust and safety space for the past year, I've spent that time working on system design and migration plans for legacy services which included tasks like rearchitecting core abstractions, schema migration from SQL to NoSQL while supporting existing application access patterns, etc.

Preference would be for opportunities in web application spaces doing novel things in the browser that would benefit from knowledge of browser internals and rendering, happy to chat about your company's product space and examples of problems your products are trying to solve.
I like the deeper sheath idea, but we moved away from that early on for a few reasons. A major one is cargo-handling, because you rapidly hit limits on how high the cranes can lift containers away from the deck. They can't start moving sideways until the entire container is free and clear, and if your container is too tall you may not even clear the stack before the crane reaches its upper limit. From a load management perspective, if you have the choice to go taller or wider, it's generally better to go wider. This also plays into the idea of using tape-spring rollers to store the sail material - it lends itself to being wider, rather than narrower. You can look in a few of our other comments below for more of a description, but yes, we plan to have load spreaders to reduce the compression load on any one stack, and tethers deployed to the main deck to provide additional tension restraints.
>You cannot have a town square where it is possible to be anonymous.

In the town square, technically everyone is anonymous until you ask them their name, and even then, no one has to give you the real one. The cops are the only real exception.

The thing that truly bugs me about tech/the Internet is that at some point it was decided that everyone is entitled to intimate information on everyone else for even the most transient silly thing.
I suspect some temporality will need to be added. There are times when writing the code you have a question because the code exposes an unexpressed choice in the requirements. When you are coding in linear time, you then know to go ask the question. I am not sure that just generating the most likely or most rewarded response will do that easily. It seems to just arbitrarily pick the most likely requirement.

I'm currently a Director at an Ed-Tech startup where I've been for the past nine years. I am interested in looking for either part-time or contract work. I'd be willing to discuss moving to full-time if the project seems interesting enough. I'm looking to move away from the management side of things and keep with the more hands-on work.

The current desired areas of interest for my next company are National security, Security (General), Climate Change, Agriculture, Automotive, and Robotics.

I enjoy the startup life so I would be perfectly fine with a pre-seed company. A big conglomerate could create interesting opportunities, so I wouldn't exclude that option either.

I love Python and have no real interest in using any other languages for full-time work.

I have no interest in anything `crypto' or `web3` related.
I 100% thought this would be about Terry Davis. Rest in peace Terry.
At least for top two EV manufacturers (Tesla, BYD) manufacturing capacity exceeds demand, hence the large price cuts in Q1.
That's what mmap is for :)

When a read call completes, you know you've successfully read the data from the underlying device. If you have swap disabled you know you can read and write from that memory quickly.

With mmap'd data, a memory read/write can trigger a page fault and I/O, and if you encounter an error like a network filesystem not responding in time, the program sees a segfault.
Kinda off topic but what’s the actual word for k3s? We have Kubernetes k8s, addreesen horowitz a16z, internationalisation i18n, founders f6s. What is k3s?
Kubernetes is often shortened to k8s, which is often pronounced "kates," which is further shortened to k3s.
> With birds eye view, parking sensors aren't really needed anymore, so they didn't place an order for new sensors.

I believe it was more that they couldn't get the sensors due to supply chain issues.
Me too. Whoever decided on that title must have known about Terry and TempleOS.

I miss him so much. R.I.P.
Because there is now an understanding of who the actual regulators are and what the legal process to operate a tech company within the PRC is.

When we talk about anti-trust and tech industry policy in the US, we know by default that means that it's going to involve the FTC (M&A), SEC (Accounting/Financing Practices), and the House+Senate Judiciary Committee (review M&A, Financing, and Accounting Practices decided by FTC+SEC)

The Chinese tech industry in the 2010s had a number of competing regulators - China Securities Regulatory Commission, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, State Administration of Foreign Exchange, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Cyberspace Administration of China, State Administration for Market Regulation, People's Bank of China, etc.

Because there are so many regulators/agencies stepping on each others toes, there was a lot of intrigue and bad practices in the Chinese tech industry from 2000-2020 (eg. Crypto companies like FTX and Binance bribing PBOC officials and AntPay arguing that as a FinTech it should be regulated as a tech company/by the MIIT and not financial regulators)

During 2019-2022, there was a massive regulatory reform across the board that divvied up the roles of individual agencies and created the norms that startups and companies needed to follow.

The resolution of Ant Group's whole saga is basically setting precedent on which agencies/regulators within the PRC do what, and now investors have an easier time understanding how to vet investment risks in the tech sector.
The market can stay irrational longer than most people can stay solvent.
Gasoline can't be manufactured in your backyard, the solar panels on my roof produce over 100 kwh per day half the year, with battery storage my house and transportation can function without grid support.
Therac 25 is another example of hardware being replaced by software and things goong terribly wrong.
I once read a lot of medical papers -- probably a few hundreds. There was often no real connection between the reported data and the conclusion. Sometimes the conclusion was along the lines of "a weak relation between X and Y was found" but the data showed a strong relation. Sometimes it was the opposite. Sometimes the conclusion was that X was good but the data showed X was bad. Sometimes it was the opposite.

It was almost as if many of the authors couldn't do the kind of math expected of high schoolers that apply to university to study science.

My takeaway was 1) to deeply distrust doctors as scientists (and as people who could think) and 2) mostly ignore the text surrounding the tables and graphs and just go straight to the data.
In addition to K3s, I've used managed K8s, custom-rolled K8s, as well as various other K8s distributions. K3s has - by far - provided the least friction for most of my use cases, and is what I incorporate in any initial cloud design.

Of course, other stakeholders and constraints may eventually mean that we adopt something else before it gets implemented, but K3s is what I start with for many of the same reasons outlined in this article.
If there is one thing that history taught us, it is that there is very little that can stop a determined populace ( Afghanistan being one recent example ). The mirror-like show scenarios are not impossible, but it would require a series of events that are hard to guarantee. I am saying that not because I think AI law enforcement won't happen. I am saying that because the moment it does happen, new equilibrium will manifest itself. And by this I mean.. do you really think people won't adjust their lives accordingly?
while true, writing "vanialla kubernetes" did not have the right feel for me.

What would have been a better title for you?
I agree one hundred percent. Life has some good bits and most of the other bits are tedious, unpleasant and painful. But to reach the good bits you have to tread over the bad ones.
Not only have I looked at a map, I have the misfortune of living quite close to Ukr. You probably don't even need to bc you live far enough to be safe and lecture others on the internet.
Are you suggesting that there are people who practice science that do not rely on trust in others in any way to establish their beliefs?
MCAS wasn't to rectify a hardware electronics problem, it was for a dynamics/physics problem.

The equivalent would be if, say, the car was designed to be overweight on one side and susceptible to tipovers, and had software to automatically turn the wheels the other direction when it felt like it.
I won't. Frankly, neither will anyone else. This is not an AI problem. It is, inherently, a very human problem.
It's funny, these guys had a presence at the New York State Farm show

https://www.canadianfga.ca/en/forage-exports/

and had brochures in Arabic and Mandarin so I'm sure some of what gets exported to the Middle East and Asia comes from places rich in water.
Not an AI bro, but it's easy to underestimate how good the human vision system is at dealing with novel inputs as well as degraded input quality. When viewed in isolation, our eyes might suck compared to a digital sensor - but the brain does a load of work turning that input into a cohesive and continuous view of the world. And this continues to work when vision is partially obscured by fog, rain, snow, or even injury.
I suppose it depends on how narrowly you define "SLC." Lehi and Utah County is brimming with tech jobs, but if you consider that part of SLC then no, not really many tech jobs outside. Further north into Davis County and Ogden, and even Logan there are some, but it's not like like SLC/Lehi.

Lakebed is indeed sadness.

> and Safari updates are tied to OS releases.

Safari is the last non-evergreen browser. As long as Apple insists on this policy it doesn't matter how good a job the WebKit team are doing; they're still hamstrung by the outdated release policy Apple enforces.

Luckily, soon Apple will be forced to allow alternative browsers. At that point, I hope Apple will spend some of its trillions on actually improving Safari, in order for it to stay relevant and competitive.

I like the driver assistance.

The early mobileeye autopilot was actually pretty good, it did traffic aware cruise control and autosteer, making driving easier. Everything after that seems only marginally better.
Isn't it actually keigths which means it should be k5s?
If Starship works out (and that's admittedly a big if), the price of launching Starlink satellites will plummet and they'll be able to boost the number of satellites in orbit from ~4k to 30k, which will improve bandwidth and cut costs.

If I had a dollar for every time Elon Musk said something that didn't pan out or wasn't true, I would be richer than Elon Musk.
As soon as Linux gets as usable as Win7, I'm switching from linux. From Win7. To KDE (most likely). And not to anything else.
DigitalOcean also cordons Nodes for no reason at random times. Currently moving to EKS exactly for this reason
The "But there are also disadvantages" of the linked pages provides some of the issues with mmap. This also matches burntsushi's experience with mmap in ripgrep:

- depending on concurrent accesses mmap can just sigbus on you (e.g. if the mapped file is being truncated)

- mmap simply does not work with virtual filesystems, and will blow up on large files on 32b systems (windows also has further limitations on mmaps)

- depending on workload mmap may not be faster than regular reads and memory buffers, ripgrep will mmap when working on just a few files, but will use normal buffers for large file counts, because when you start reusing buffer you amortise allocation costs which you can't amortise when creating and destroying mappings

- not only that but mmap/munmap are also globally blocking on the process, so in multithreaded processes it's very bad to map/unmap a lot, you can stall your own application

- the semantics of mmap on crash are also somewhat risky, in that the OS will try very hard to sync, but that may not be desirable if the application crashes in the middle of a write
When I said hardware, I meant in the broader airframe hardware, not specifically electronics hardware. The physics you mention is a result of the center-of-gravity of the airframe design. The broader point being, it became cheaper and more expedient (at least superficially) to try and fix a hardware problem with software.

(Although Boeing did also create a cringey option to incorporate already existing redundant AOA sensors only as software option, rather than as a default)
I mean obviously it must be ban travel for government officials on government business or something like that, but since this isn't clarified exactly what it means it makes the article seem like misinformation and untrustworthy.

I'd love to see where you got that statistic. IME, I have to wait months for any kind of specialist. And when I finally get to see one, my insurance underpays and then I spend endless hours fighting with both the provider and the insurer. This crap happens every single time I need to see a doctor. I can't wait to retire and move to a second world country that has US trained doctors who give you their personal cell number.
