Right, but the article doesn't make that point. It is full of magical thinking that openness is the one hurdle we need to clear.

The average number of occupants in a road vehicle is under two, yet they drive a massive tank. The typical pickup truck on the road also has an empty bed.

Meanwhile, I can fit four people and some light cargo comfortably in my hatchback, or put all the seats down and carry more cargo than the typical SUV.

I don’t think the perspective of selling product X should be judged in a vacuum because it can do things like subsidize battery costs.

For video cards they got to the point where average consumers could buy them and then that started the road to accelerator cards. Saying that people shouldn’t buy something is naive and disingenuous. People will buy things regardless of anything else.

GIF stands out as a widely understood file format [1][2].

To kick things off, delve into the GIF file using a hexadecimal editor. HexFiend [3], for instance, offers a template for visualizing GIF file structures [4]. Another excellent option is Synalyze It! [5], which comes pre-loaded with an extensive list of file formats, encompassing GIF among others.

These visualizations serve as a guide to pinpoint any irregular byte clusters that might pose issues when loading the file into an application with an image reader lacking support for that specific byte group or its arrangement. Once you've identified such a cluster, consider it the bug.

Buddy, trying to pretend your comment didn't exist in the contextualized space it did, when you replied, is not viable. And your response is way out in left field.
I think on of the reasons we require so much data is that we try to bake all that "simulated experience and internal dialogue" into the snap responses. I bet if you could do an efficient sim/test retraining, you'd do data-driven responses on the fly.

There is a reason reduce is the first R. Not consuming energy in the first place is less carbon emitted today and less generation capacity that needs to be transitioned. It really is an 'every little bit helps' situation. Dismissing solutions as too small ignores the fact we need hundreds of thousands of small solutions along with many, many big ones.
Because good luck finding those three roles where they’re from a technical background?

I’ve worked with a grand total of one PM who was from a technical background. He was actually a great engineer but he was absolutely the exception to the rule.

Sure, if you can flesh your team out with entirely technical people filling those roles, great for you, but that’s like asking why you wouldn’t only hire 10x engineers. Well of course if you could find and hire only 10x engineers you would, but it doesn’t work like that. Especially considering those are all industry positions that are typically taken by people who never went into technical roles.
When you say "we need" do you mean... "you want to see" ? The highest selling vehicles are trucks and so the company that makes the best selling car wants in. Seems logical and good for the industry
Any undemanding mesh network, right?

Yes, but as the saying goes, anything can fly if you strap a powerful enough engine to it... so we've demonstrated basic capability, and the rest is now optimizing its performance a couple orders of magnitude.

> Odd for me all my friends who farm or do construction own either the F150 or the equivalent dodge RAM truck.

From what I've seen at local lumber yards, new F150s and Rams are the trucks that the boss usually drives, not the workers who are actually picking up the material. They are buying and driving cheapest truck that gets the job done. It's an F-150, it's an older one. A lot of Toyota Tacomas though.

> Now I’m in Canada, perhaps you’re European?

I'm in the US.

> The other trucks either don’t have cabs big enough to fit multiple workers or fit full sheets of drywall.

Large sheet goods either go on the lumber rack or if it's enough, is delivered on a delivery truck. Usually not in the bed. That's for tools, bags of material, etc.
I guess a question to ask is "What is GPT-4". Is it the algorithm, the weights, the data, or a combination of them all?

To put it another way, the researchers at Rad AI consumed every paper that was out there including very cutting edge stuff. This included reimplimenting GPT-2 in house, as well as many other systems. However, we didn't have the same data that was used by OpenAI. We also didn't have their hyperparameters (and since our data was different it's not a guarantee that those would have been the best ones anyways).

So with that in mind it's possible that Rad AI could today be using their own in house GPT-4, but specialized with their radiology data. In other words them using a specialized model, and them using GPT-4, wouldn't be contradictory.

I do want to toss out a disclaimer that I left there in 2021, so I have no insights into their current setup other than what's publicly released. However I have no reason to believe they aren't still doing cutting edge work and building out custom stuff taking advantage of the latest papers and techniques.

> My advice to engineers is that it's nearly always easier to learn business/sales

Technical people mispredict the value of a business co-founder in a similar way to how this video talks about tech co-founders being misvalued. Cue jokes about sales-droids. But there is a mirror between businessy people undervaluing tech and tech undervaluing business.

A key point of the video is recruiting (albeit a form of sales): it is hard to sell "adventure" and belief.

We see this every time an engineer tries to shift to a managerial rôle and fails. In theory business skills can be learnt, in practice it is hard and perhaps easier to co-found with someone with the skills already. There are risks, but if you can't judge ability and integrity then you're already hosed.

The best example I can think of who cogently explains how they learnt is Jim Keller - talking about how he changed AMD.

Yeah, with the QML example, if the programmer instead had used a raw pointer, he would still have a problem. Since if he chose to call free, he would have the same crash that the example had. And if he chose to just never call free, he would have a memory leak.
The tax credit is guaranteed as long as you made less than 300k this year or last year (150k if not married), and it is now given directly at time of purchase instead of later when you file. Seems OK to include. The gas savings is much more speculative.
Sure. Prosperity gospel is a minority belief even among Pentecostals and other charismatic groups. “Charismatic”, as your article mentions, simply refers to the belief in very free distribution of the specific “charisma”/gifts of the Holy Spirit, most famously speaking in tongues, a very common practice among Pentecostals. This is indeed essentially the only faction that believes it at all, but its still not common and even many of the (alleged) famous adherents, like Joel Osteen, will deny having anything to do with it and condemn it - because they know they’d be deemed heretical for it.

That’s really saying something, when speaking in tongues is sufficient for many orthodox and Catholic figures to suggest charismatics are being influenced by demons.
The evidence could be questionable but it's not inexistent.

That's why station wagons and vans exist. SUVs do not provide more space, they just occupy more (on top of being dangerous to others)
I’d say around 1% of new pickup trucks have an 8’ bed, if that. You ever seen a super duty (1-ton) crew cab truck with an 8’ bed? They’re like 22-23’ long, it’s ridiculous.

Not being able to carry sheet goods in the bed is something it shares virtually every other truck on the road. On a short-bed regular truck, you can get a roof rack along with posts that go in the back corners of the bed to create a rack capable of holding sheet goods, pipe, lumber, ladders, etc.

Regardless, why would you schlep around sheet goods in a pickup bed when you can have the supply house deliver them? The contractors I work with don’t waste time running to Home Depot to buy material, it’s delivered to the site by a supply house, courier, or company truck.
People won't care until something major happens and after that they'll implement some draconian half-measure that doesn't fix anything like snooping on office WiFi.

Compaq Deskpro 386/16 Original Design Specification with Schematics 1986
I found a treasure on eBay this year and I shared it on Archive.org (link above, scroll down below the image) and Minuszerodegrees (Manuals > Third parties > Compaq).

It is a Compaq internal document of 1986, a full technical documentation of the first commercially available 80386 PC.

It is of interest for historical reasons (read abstract on Archive.org) and for people who would like to re-create a free x86-32 hardware respecting the original design... Something like a PC NuXT upgraded to 80386 or better.

I did a quick look to search to see - I mean if anywhere has retained evidence of schools it should be Pompeii - I did a cursory search through Bloomer's book 'The School of Rome', and here are some bits from it:

"The physical requirements for a grammar school were minimal: school, like any small ancient business, could be held on the street, under or above a portico, near an important public building such as a temple, or at a rented shop. A wall painting from Pompeii, now lost, showed school near a portico and decidedly amid the bustle of the city. School could be held “in private,” at the teacher’s home or the house of the patron."

"Graffiti indicate schooling took place at several locations in Pompeii and at Rome. The places of instruction are unremarkable shop stalls. Two exceptions to these modest locales merit attention, since they seem to have dedicated space and indicate an education that is decidedly not modest. The emperor’s palace had a slave-training complex known as the paidagogia , and the villas of the wealthy had as part of their design semicircular recesses, or exedrae. The latter, like private libraries, are places of culture, perhaps of poetry reading or rhetorical training." (It links to footnotes which reference an Italian paper apparently saying there are disputes as to how to recognise schools as such).

Anyway, yeah, very good point!
I feel like it already has limited social value except as a sort of MAGA hat for Elon. I predict it’ll have some rabid adherents but also develop a reputation as a vehicle for assholes - already in a lot of circles the Tesla brand has a negative association due to Elon behaving like a nepo bully.

I've never had much luck with the pit keeping it from browning. Onion, on the other hand, is practically magic.
Yeah what a weird comment from GP. The refrain that no one needs a full-size truck, that they're mall crawlers or compensation for undersized you-know-what is common on this site but I've never seen it taken to the level that "trades workers largely don't drive full sized trucks, actually".

If only EPP parties were really right-wing. I say this as an actual conservative. EPP parties generally are "our position is whatever the left espoused ten years ago". Which is, basically, a very progressive position.

> a sports care faster than a 911

Eh, it's not really interesting if you can't corner. Lots of trucks aren't actually bad at it, all you need is a ton of torque, tires that can take it, and enough weight and length to keep the front end down. Easy enough any automaker can do it if they choose, but 1/4 mile numbers are a mostly meaningless pissing contest unless you are actually building drag cars.

Now if Tesla built anything that handled up near Porsche territory, that would be interesting. I guess they sort of did with the 1st one, but that was Lotus's chassis.
Funny that the cheaper model's 0-60 time is listed as "4.1 SEC. 0-60 MPH", but the more expensive model is listed as "2.6 SEC. 0-60 MPH With rollout subtracted."

The whole rollout for 0-60 thing is a big fuss in the car magazine subculture - instead of counting zero to 60 from a standstill, they now count zero to 60 in a drag race style, where you have to trip the starting light by going forward a foot or two.

What that most likely means is that the fastest model doesn't have enough grip to keep the tires from spinning off the line, so they are basically spinning the tires for a fraction of a second (or longer) and then once they start to move forward, they start counting the 0-60 time. I imagine if you did the same for the cheaper model, it's 0-60 time would look better as well.
You don't just press the button and see what happens?
Yes, but if you keep shoving tests at it, including brand new tests, and in total more than it could've ever memorized, and it keeps passing, then perhaps it's no longer cheating.
Pet theory: Musk's justly hated destruction of Twitter,

and accelerating descent into open literal racism and antisemitism,

are both meant to distract from the stupidity and imminent utter failure of the abomination that is the Cybertruck.
The 911 Turbo S has a 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds, but Car and Driver clocked it at 2.2. Its quarter-mile time is 10.1 seconds.

https://www.caranddriver.com/porsche/911-turbo-turbo-s

I don't know what's going on with that video. If we take Tesla's numbers at face value, which I definitely don't given their history, the 911 Turbo S is dramatically faster on the straights. Is Tesla claiming that the Cybertruck gets faster with a 911 in tow? If so, why isn't there an option for a 911 trailer?

Methinks Tesla is up to their old tricks!

> “Instead of dividing the time between one midnight and the next into 24 equal hours, they divided the time from sunrise to sunset into 12 "seasonal hours" (their actual duration depending on season), and the time from sunset to the next sunrise again in 12 "seasonal hours".”

It would be interesting to try this in the modern era. Though to do this really well you should probably vary the duration of the hour smoothly throughout the day (with no overly jarring shift at sunrise or sunset), so the difference would be felt quite extremely around noon and midnight whereas the hours around sunrise and sunset (6AM and 6PM with perhaps half an hour of dawn and twilight respectively in non-polar latitudes) would be close to normal.
No, I'm not. the black veins are mold. Some edibly-soft avocadoes have much less black veins and black spots than others, but they all have some. Also by the time mold is visible, it is basically everywhere in the avocado.

But 5 out of 6 people can detoxify mold toxins, and those people can probably eat avocadoes without long-term problems.
Show me the researchers and companies where the people in charge and the people doing the work don’t think it’s possible to get better than GPT-4 and are slow-rolling things.

I suppose maybe there are ones where they are slow-rolling because of their opinions about existential risk of AGI. But that’s not contingent on what OpenAI says or does.
The language that taught me systems programming should be all about, with proper security, modularity and good high level code, no need for lack of security shortcuts.

I was blessed to have learnt TP before C.

Happy birthday Turbo Pascal!

Why I don't:

1.I'm a cheap wad.

2. I don't f.want to. Maybe I'm old school, I like Web Search. I like to be give a half-ass answer that I have to hack with. I like reading different articles around the topic and increasing my knowledge.

3. I don't want to be given an 300 line code answer for me to paste in, only to find out the AI was hallucinations. I also don't want to review PRs with this sort of thing

This is all very disheartening.

I want google to save me from this and for me not to notice they are trying to introduce their own (Bard).
Ah interesting. That makes sense. I had no idea.
Yep. And that's also why SUVs are the way they are - they fit the regulatory definition of "truck" and get different emissions and fuel efficiency rules as a result.
