If X isn't worth Tesla's advertising strategy, it's unclear what value the app holds for other companies.

If the CEO of Yelp tried this, everyone would rightly call it extortion... which is something they have had to counter: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/03/is-yelp...

When the carnival barker stands in the center ring and claims those not in attendance are political or unbelievers, it ceases to be fun and no longer resembles a carnival.
because Boeings don’t normally autotrim

Yeah they do. On the 737/757/767 they have a mach trim system to account for mach tuck. On the 737, at least, they also have a speed trim system to keep the plane under control at lower speeds when autopilot is off.
The problem is Tesla are not really good at battery tech. Their 4680 batteries are not competitive, many of their cars just come with blade batteries from BYD nowadays.

Surprised to see Benz so low - does anyone have any particular insight on that?

The article title is "most reliable new cars," so it's fair advertising of what it is.

Most reliable old cars would certainly be a good read though.
It’s clunky and bloated.
> To me more surprising is that Fiat 500e was higher in the ranking, despite costing more and having smaller battery.

The buy Price tag is not the only thing that people are looking when buying a car.

People do care about maintenance and after sell service. In France, you can be pretty sure that anywhere you are, you are almost sure to have a Stellantis garage within 25km of your home. For MG... probably within 150km.

People care (maybe too much?) about that. This is especially true for an EV under warranty that your random neighbour garage will refuse to touch because he miss the know-how on it.
I initially parsed the headline as "Lidocaine induces (apoptosis in head) and (neck squamous cell carcinoma)". I suspect being familiar with the phrase "head and neck ... carcinoma" is what's critical.
There is a version of BASIC, a QuickBasic clone called Qb64 that is lightning fast because it transpiles to C++. By your admission a programmer should think that BASIC is fast because he only does BASIC and does not care about the environment details?

It's actually the opposite, a Python programmer should know how to offload most, or use the libraries that do so, out of Python into C. He should not be oblivious to the fact that any decent Python performance is due to shrinking down the ratio of actual Python instructions vs native instructions.
Just wanted to say I wish you all the best in your fight! I'm really happy that you found a way out, even if it's long and difficult. I know firsthand what "unexplainable levels" mean.. Good luck!
I would love to have a look in your customer feedback questionnaire responses :)
..but ofc I would say the same in your position.

Edit: Just so you know we are still a customer of yours with over 3k users but not for long anymore. We tried to work with you for over 4 years now and got absolutely nothing. Neither performance nor features.
"Well-known?" The top F1 team is manufactured by Honda and Honda is near the top of this Consumer Reports lists...
Yes, articles like this pillory historians for not aligning with their worldview.

Of course the people they reference are anthropologists.
I don’t belive that was the meaning.

Rather, yes things keep happening and a lot of people’s and media attention is focused on the latest big thing. Therefore, while the recent events at OpenAI and AI in general are in focus, it is wise to stay quiet. When the focus shifts, then you can communicate and hope it stays mostly within the circle of people that you wish to engage with.
you're very kind for apologizing
I am in the US, but otherwise your situation highly resonates with me, and I feel your description could be used to describe my own search.

I've been looking, applying, and interviewing (though not as often as I would like nor expect from my volume of applications) for 8 months. After some recent disappointing news, I am looking to be moving away from software development and systems-at-scale roles, and spending more time and effort at IT support / system administration roles in the future as I can't help but feel the industry just isn't interested in any desire to grow and develop professionally, they just want the perfect applicant that has already used the technologies they need for 2-5 years and won't waste time on anyone else.

It doesn't help my own confidence that I have "FAANG" experience (I'll leave it to the reader to decide which FAANG belongs in quotes), and it hasn't helped my response rate or evaluations.

In any case, it's disapointing, and I feel your struggles. I wish you the best, and hopefully your newfound perspective separating the CV and the interview will help you spend less time and anguish over the less important parts
This is a very narrow view of how LLMs can interact to improve inference accuracy. Different LLMs have different capabilities. They can be used in coordination to improve results.

Your objections seem to rely on a restricted view that says "we can't do better" but with no evidence. Whereas we have plenty of evidence of massive, continual improvement in the very areas you are holding up as problematic.
I don’t avoid a GUI. I just use it for what I find it efficient (complicated diffs and merges, complicated history, etc) but use the CLI for other stuff I find the CLI more efficient for (simple history lookups, diffs, merges, staging changes, commits, cherry-picks, rebases, bisect, etc).

There are many reasons why the CLI is far more efficient for me for this.

1. I’m rarely ever just doing GIT operations in isolation. Depending on the kind of project there’s a whole lot of other stuff going on as well…builds, unit tests, etc… I can’t run that out of Git Tower. But I can run all of those from within the same CLI environment.

2. I can never modify the way GIT tower presents information to me. However, I have a lot of tools to isolate exactly the information I want using git on the CLI where it makes sense because the CLI allows me to compose GIT outputs with an extremely large library of tools in a way no GUI application does.

3. I love scripting. If I do the same action more than a few times I will write a script for it. And the CLI allows me to do that in a way GUI tools don’t.
You make a good point, especially around isolation. While I use docker and I know the basics of it, I'd hate to try and debug it if something went wrong (i.e. postfix container wouldn't start). For that reason I've stayed clear of using it for "critical" life things, like our email. For a number of years there my wife's business email I was also sending through my mailserver, so it needed to be super reliable.
I'm not saying docker/mailcow isn't reliable, only that if it did break in funky ways, I don't have the knowledge domain to fix it. But I'm familiar with all the individual programs and running them on a "flat" linux system, so that's what I did.
But yes, you certainly make some good points that are worth considering if someone else is reading these comments and thinking about doing it themselves!
The problem is, people in the humanities are often intelligent, and as a result know how insignificant their impact on humanity is compared to the sciences (barring the top 0.001% of those in the arts), thus these modern essentialist narratives are about raising the stakes, casting humanities and arts purists as more important, and constructing a "hero narrative" around now commodified intellectual pursuits.
Mine didn’t come with a dip stick.
it's an inanimate car that is dispensable. your family's life is not. there is a DRASTIC difference in safety and survivability of newer cars. I would switch over yesterday
What is your basis for this statement? We have absolutely _numerous_ examples of people throughout history receiving and accepting horrible conditions cast upon them. Even today. And as far as I can tell, we still have similar power structures that would enable those situations to continue occurring.
When you hire according to which candidate has worked hardest to fight against oppression, it isn't surprising when their academic work is about gathering evidence for the fight against oppression.
Meta unveils plans to prevent misinformation and hate amid 2024 global elections
Meta has set out its plans ahead of the 2024 elections.

Sir Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta - which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads - has laid out the measures it's putting in place to prevent misinformation and hate spreading as the battles for power commence.

Like in previous years, Meta will "block new political ads during the final week of the US election campaign."

Advertisers will also have to "disclose when they use AI or digital methods to create or alter a political or social issue ad in certain cases."

The blog post read: "Next year, more than two billion people will head to the polls in elections across some of the world’s biggest democracies, including the United States, India, Indonesia, Mexico and the European Union. Over many years, Meta has developed a comprehensive approach for elections on our platforms. With so many important elections approaching, we are setting out how the policies and safeguards we have established over time will apply in 2024."

Clegg said the "top of new challenges" is AI.

He continued: "No tech company does more or invests more to protect elections online than Meta – not just during election periods but at all times. We have around 40,000 people working on safety and security, with more than $20 billion invested in teams and technology in this area since 2016. While much of our approach has remained consistent for some time, we’re continually adapting to ensure we are on top of new challenges, including the use of AI. We’ve also built the largest independent fact-checking network of any platform, with nearly 100 partners around the world to review and rate viral misinformation in more than 60 languages."

Clegg concluded: "This approach is consistent with how we have sought to prevent abuse of our platforms during recent major elections in Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey and Argentina, and this year’s state and local elections in the US. While we are conscious that every election brings its own challenges and complexities, we’re confident our comprehensive approach puts us in a strong position to protect the integrity of next year’s elections on our platforms."
I hear mass catapulting passengers into the air is a thing now.
Edit: While I'm still dubious about these metrics I was ranting about an entirely different company here. Sorry. A very similar report has been making the rounds recently from JD Power, probably part of a marketing campaign of some sort. The JD Power list is even more hilarious because it is book-ended by two brands: Dodge and Chrysler. Also it suggests Alfa Romeo for reliability. https://www.cars.com/articles/2023-j-d-power-initial-quality...

This is just "initial quality" which has always been a bullshit metric invented by JD Power to sound good in automaker advertising.

The way it works is for the first 90 days of ownership every problem that bothers the owner counts as one point. So expensive cars that cater to fussy people score poorly compared to cars bought by people who only care about reliability and getting from point a to point b and don't pay attention to their car. Also, there is no weighting to the issues.

So you might have a situation like:

CR: So what problems did you find in the first three months of owning this expensive luxury car?

Owner: The glovebox latch is too loud and the heated seats heat up from the back first instead of the front first like I prefer and the power mirrors adjust too quickly.

CR: Ok, that's three points.

CR: Next person, what problems did you have?

Owner: Well, the rear wheel fell off after about 50 miles and after I owned it a couple of months it burst into flame on the highway.

CR: I'll mark that as two points.
The point is, yes his grease flew out. And dirt got in. But his CV joints aren't being used, they are just free spinning around all day not moving any torque. So yes his torn cv boot didn't give him trouble in a Toyota 4x4. It wouldn't have given him trouble in a dodge 4x4 either..
Is there a Bloom filter equivalent for efficiently searching whether a variable-length string is (or, more challenging, contains!) a substring of a very large string?

I think the classic Bloom filter is suitable when you have an exact-match operation but not directly suitable for a substring operation. E.g. you could put 500,000 names into the filter and it could tell you efficiently that "Jason Bourne" is probably one of those names, but not that "urn" is a component of one of them.

For the "is this output in the training data anywhere?" question, the most generally useful question might be somdthing like "are the last 200 tokens of output a verbatim substring of HUGE_TRAINING_STRING?".

A totally different challenge: presumably it's very often appropriate for some relatively large "popular" or "common" strings to actually be memorized and repeated on request. E.g., imagine asking a large language model for the text of the Lord's Prayer or the Pledge of Allegiance or the lyrics to some country's national anthem or something. The expected right answer is going to be that verbatim output.

If it weren't for copyright, this would probably also be true for many long strings that don't occur frequently in the training data, although it wouldn't be a high priority for model training because the LLM isn't a very efficient way to store tons of non-repetitive verbatim text.
I’ve had malfunctioning servos that can’t seem to keep still. It affects the recirculation and air controls but that’s about it.
I’m guessing it’s not a popular opinion around here, but what’s described is so insanely dog shit I would have been fired and sued if I had been responsible for developing anything even close to how stupid this system was.

I know people who have worked with military systems, and as dumb as the process around developing these things tend to be, due to the asinine cluelessness of the decision makers, none of them would have accepted even a fraction of the idiocy on display here.

I mean, not “slaving” the cursor still feeds garbage data into the system, immediately reusing 4 digit codes in a way that is pretty much guaranteed to create confusion, no real cooperation or coordination between the same system running on ships in the same battle group, supposedly essential data displayed without the actual essential details shown to decision makers in charge of death and destruction…

It would be laughable if it was the worlds strongest military we were talking about.

The people in charge of deciding to make this “system” in this way should be in prison.
I think that this would primarily have military/police applications. Being able to tell in real time where the people in confined space are just by hacking their WiFi sounds invaluable.

Lots of sensors and features on my 2016 Honda have trouble. Not as bad as a Cadillac or Mercedes, but bad nonetheless.

I've missed comments in JSON myself, when writing stuff like configuration files. But interchange formats are a different beast, not really meant to be read by humans. And if they need comments to be comprehensible, one might wonder whether the scheme chosen was insufficiently self documenting in the first place.
“ and said that on X, Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension.”

So calls for Violence is ok ?

Only Extreme Violence decided by whom one wonders will get a Suspension ?

Elon error: 404 - Lost the Plot
Is it because of academic historians, or because medias like the discourse around racism these days? When we know that science publication is not exempt of human greed (https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02192 for a recent exemple), it's better to look for articles that make consensus.

I also think the discipline won't die, plenty of bad research have been made and forgotten later. The title is a bit dramatic.
Same here with Joplin through Joplin Cloud
As a car nerd, a popular opinion is to avoid cars with computers because they could fail anytime, and can't be macgyvered into a repair roadside.... but after ~50 years of computerized cars, it seems that simple solid state computers, ruggedized and often potted in epoxy essentially never fail. And moreover, they can both give early warnings before you're stranded, and diagnostic data that can be used to pinpoint and fix a problem in the middle of nowhere.

I especially love the mid-90s and newer VWs, which will report through VCDS software literally every part failure, or sensor output, from any system in the car.
I have a few qualms with this app:

1. For anyone with a GPU, you can already set up your own language model for chat. It’s a simple weekend project: grab an open-source LLM, feed it some data, and voilà, you’ve got a personalized AI buddy.

2. It doesn’t actually replace real friends. Most people I know crave genuine connections, not just pixels on a screen. No amount of clever coding or witty AI banter can substitute the unpredictability and depth of human friendships.

3. It does not seem very “viral” or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
The 4Runner hasn't been redesigned in a long time. A 2024 4Runner is substantially the same as a 2010 4Runner.

Bureaucracy is not the problem being posed here. It was a question of technical possibility.

When I said it's trivial, I meant trivial. You can simply just discharge one pack preferentially over another. It's something that would be inherent to the power management circuit.

Whatever you're imagining, this is not that. There is no giant lever to changeover the packs. The circuit is never broken and power is never interrupted. It really, truly is as simple as drawing power from one battery and not the other.

Given the ridiculous power requirements involved, 'simple' is perhaps a bit generous. But the complexity is in physically handling that amount of current, not in switching it. Again, these are solved problems with standard solutions. This is stuff we've been doing industrially for years.
Yea, I think Kia and Hyundai are awesome. And my head swivels every time I see a Genesis on the road.

Meta Enhances Election Safeguards for 2024 to Tackle Misinformation
In 2024, over two billion people across significant democracies like the U.S., India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the European Union will participate in elections.

Meta Platforms, Inc (NASDAQ: META), recognizing the importance of these events, has outlined its comprehensive strategy for managing elections on its platforms, Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs, mentioned in the company blog.
This approach involves significant investment in safety and security, with 40,000 personnel and over $20 billion allocated since 2016.

The strategy includes advanced AI usage and an extensive fact-checking network, covering misinformation in over 60 languages with nearly 100 partners worldwide.

Meta applied its approach to election integrity in recent elections in Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Argentina, and the U.S.

Their methods focus on preventing platform abuse and maintaining the integrity of electoral processes.

The company also offers transparency around political ads. Since 2018, political and social issue ads must include a disclaimer and undergo an authorization process, with a seven-year storage in the Ad Library.

Next year, advertisers must disclose the use of AI or digital alterations in certain ads.

Meta also implements a one-week block on new political and social issue ads before U.S. elections, a policy since 2020, to prevent last-minute unverifiable claims.

This block lifts the day after the elections. The company's policies combat election and voter interference, hate speech, and coordinated harmful activities.

Additionally, Meta labels state-controlled media and blocks their ads targeting U.S. users, enhancing transparency and preventing government-influenced misinformation.

Alphabet Inc's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google launched similar image-customizing generative AI ad tools to prevent the perpetration of misinformation. TikTok and Snapchat owner Snap Inc (NYSE: SNAP) bar political ads.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV uses a GKN 'multi-mode dedicated hybrid' transmission with some notable differences than a standard auto gearbox.

Some Lexus & Toyota hybrids and PHEVs use the eCVT transmission, which uses 2-3 electric motors inside to adjust torque rather than a belt.

The Subaru Crosstrek PHEV (internationally also called the e-boxer platform for the Forester hybrid) uses a Toyota eCVT variant that also still facilitates symmetrical AWD instead of a separate electrical motor driving the rear axle.
