Toronto AI startups: list of companies pushing the envelope

At my license renewal I clearly failed the vision test yet they passed me anyway. When I finally got to the eye doctor they said I really should not be driving until getting corrective lenses. Thankfully I was able to minimize driving until getting a cheap pair of glasses.

In the US the only way to legally kill on multiple occasions is by vehicle accident. Yet the system is afraid of taking away ones 'right' to drive as it degrades quality of life so much. You can report someone you know is unsafe, though in some states they'll be notified who reported them, causing a chilling effect.

"unpopular populism" is definitely a thing; policies presented as populist that are only supported by a minority. Usually because that minority is "swing" voters.
"It isn't illegal to replace odometers and it isn't even illegal to sell vehicles with odometers that have inaccurate mileage readouts. However, to do so, a disclaimer needs to be made by the seller, indicating to the buyer that its mileage readout is inaccurate and that the odometer was replaced."

How is it even legal? "You can lie but you have to admit to it".
> When he sold the truck, his buyer hooked it up to a computer that told them the real mileage was around 400,000 miles.

I’m not knowledgeable about odometers at all, but if it’s as easy as “hooking up to a computer” to get the real mileage, why don’t people do that when they buy the trucks?

When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?
Yes, and I’m not saying that it’s necessarily a bad thing either - rather that we could make a justification to subsidize anything if we tried hard enough under the logic.
While true, people also get mocked when they are perceived as being uncertain. Words like "maybe", "possibly", "likely", "hypothetically" tend to subtly piss off the 68th percentile because we all like certainty. People want answers, plain and simple. Anything in-between requires more thought, and thoughts make your head hurt. Similarly, while it's said that it's okay to admit that you don't know something, my experience is that most people don't react well to this, though they will try to tolerate it in a corporate environment. Unless you're speaking with someone who appreciates intellectual honesty, at best you'll be faced with a subtle disgust reaction, and at worst you'll be called out for not knowing something.

So to the credit of those who profess strong positions, I think society is... unsophisticated enough that such strong positions are implicitly encouraged.
> In theory inflation cannot occur without money printing, because a rise in prices of something like oil or food must be compensated by a fall in prices elsewhere as demand for that less essential thing disappears.

This is silly, inflation existed before "money printing" existed as a concept. We had inflation when we had gold standard. Inflation existed even when we used physical gold coins to pay.

More plainly, the most important factor in the economy is velocity of money and you completely ignore that it exists. Higher velocity of money can allow inflation to rise, with a fixed supply.

No, anyone can definitely email them and ask for the code. If they refuse then thats a GPL violation and the copyright owner can sue them. The Software Freedom Conservancy are also working on a case using the legal theory that downstream recipients of GPLed code are third-party beneficiaries of the GPL agreement between the copyright holder and the redistributor, and as such, they are entitled to the source code and can sue for it. Hopefully they win, send them some donations towards legal costs if you want to help out.

Sometimes you need to replace the odometer (or the module it’s built into) and you can’t always update the new one with the correct value. Sometimes parts break and the odometer is no longer accurate, it’s reasonable to say you can still sell a car in that condition if you disclose the situation
The lawsuit states that a number of people from different states are making the same accusation. That the trucks were utilized by Fedex for nearly 200k miles after the odometer swap is a worthwhile indicator that Fedex was complicit.

Because you're not lying at that point? You've just told them that the odometer reading is wrong, and unless you can find some other way to backup your mileage claim, they'll just be priced as if they were nearly maxed out?
Another approach I've seen suggested is to start with what's essentially a randomly initialized embedding vector and have a way to turn any embedding vector into text, then what you'd do is diffuse the embedding vector for a number of steps before turning it into text at the end. This is kinda similar to what stable diffusion does with images, but is a bit more tricky to get to work well with text than pixels.

It is a stupid argument too because it devalues their own position.

I listened to about 6 hours of Marc Andreessen on this topic this weekend and he just smashes all the doomer arguments.

Even in the context of nukes he made a great point that the invention of nukes most likely caused WW3 to not happen. An all out, devastating war between the US and Soviets over Europe that was only averted and transformed to the cold war because of MAD. I have been thinking since then how nukes probably caused my father to not fight in WW3. Who knows how many of us reading this would never have existed if nukes hadn't been invented. You can't make the argument 'the Manhattan project, we blow the planet up, the end".

He also makes the point that you can't be worried about a super intelligence that is super intelligent in every way besides being so dumb that it turns everyone into paper clips. You can't have it both ways.

Odometers break and get replaced (and you can’t set the new one to the old value).

If your odometer breaks and you need to replace it, what else are you supposed to do?

It has to be legal to have an incorrect odometer reading otherwise, unless the odometers are easily changed to display arbitrary readings, entire cars are scrapped as soon as they need replacements.

I agree with you, especially because the crux of the matter is convenience of car versus public transit.

Cars are VERY convenient, so public transit needs to be on time, frequent, and very close by to compete. The other option is to make cars inconvenient, which is politically unpopular.

If anyone is considering to use this, I think the code has a couple of concurrency bugs but I do not know if this was ever intended to be used in a multithreaded setting. vrb_get() contains the following code.

//-- Limit request to available data.
if ( arg_size > vrb_data_len( arg_vrb ) ) {
arg_size = vrb_data_len( arg_vrb );
}

//-- If nothing to get, then just return now.
if ( arg_size == 0 ) return 0;

//-- Copy data to caller space.
memcpy( arg_data, arg_vrb->first_ptr, arg_size );

If at the time of the check for the amount of available data there is less data available than requested but additional data gets added to the buffer before arg_size gets updated, then this might get more data than requested and overflow the target buffer. At least vrb_read() and vrb_write() have the same bug.

Two things:

1. Representation is representation of interests, not of people - what is in your best interest may not be the same thing you think you want

2. Representation doesn't mean you need to hold the same opinions, representation is symbolic by definition.
