I agree that the model being fuzzy is key aspect of an LLM. It doesn't sound like we're just talking about re-using phrases though. "Simple as pie" is not under copyright. We're talking about the "knowledge" that the model has obtained and in some cases spits out verbatim without attribution.

I wonder if there's any possibility to train the model on a wide variety of sources, only for language function purposes, then as you say give it a separate knowledge vector.
It's funny, the last time I got pulled over in Sydney (in the 90's), the conversation went something like this:

Cop (agitated): "Do you know why I stopped you?"

Me (apologetic, talking fast): "Yep"

Cop: "You're a fucking idiot"

Me: "I agree, that was really stupid"

Cop: "What the fuck were you thinking?"

Me: "I don't know, it was indecision"

[...]

Cop: "When I get back to the station I'm going to write you a huge fucking ticket"

Me: "Fair enough, I deserve it, it was really stupid"

The guy was a plain clothes detective in an unmarked car driving directly behind me and I'd just run a red light quite late, obviously speeding.

I've always found Sydney cops fair and reasonable, but I would never try this in the US.

I never got the ticket.
They didn't 'reverse the decision' - the current Bolt is dead, and the factory will still be switched over to producing electric trucks.

They announced that they are going to redesign and relaunch the bolt at some undetermined future date, and have not announced where it will be built.

> This reads like you are moving the goalpost. I do not have to dis- or agree with the article. I have to trust the fact checkers actually check facts. Alas, I cannot. How could one trust and rely on fact-checkers that "fact-check" comedy, satire, and similar sites?

This reads like you are, in fact, moving the goalposts. While I respect you as a person, you don't have to do anything. What you personally do or don't do, trust or don't trust, doesn't affect whether the fact-check was correct or not. Your goodness and value as a person notwithstanding, 1 person distrusting something is both negligible and ignorable in the grand scheme of things.

On the other hand, if there were data saying a significant majority of people share your views that a particular source's fact-checks are actually counter-factual, then there might be reason to discuss it as an issue*. How many others believe that a fact-checking source need to be a polymath to view videos and verify that the president said something in their speech?

tl;dr: Are we sure there is actually a problem that needs solving here? Let's fact-check that. There totally could be, I'm just a fan of letting data do the talking.

I have a hard time believing any of that. It simply doesn’t make any economic sense.

This is the data sheet I’ve found for one full motion flight simulator, which seemingly indicates a single (albeit 24-core) machine used to run it.

If I have understood TFA properly, whether or not the fact checks mentioned anything about context in the hypothetical politically important 0+0=0 case, they would at least all agree that this particular tautology is a fact?

In politically important cases, should we ask for anything more? (can we ask for anything more?)

I like Linebarger's theory on these cases: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/48612/48612-h/48612-h.htm#:~... but maybe wartime propaganda is important enough that they strove to be factual; while modern journalism is just the cheapest way for publishers to fill necessary space between the ads?

(I understand that those in the business have done studies, and know for each genre of publication exactly what the optimal ratio of article text to ad spots may be; publishers are not journalists, and if they could've retained an audience while running 0% content/100% ads they would already have done so)

Widevine L3 is implemented in software and typically allows screen recording—and media providers only allow a lower bandwidth as a result. My guess is that the first browser used a form of DRM that uses hardware decryption. This probably wasn't Widevine unless you're using ChromeOS or Android (in which case it would be L1, the more trusted version)—it'd likely be Fairplay on Apple browsers or PlayReady on MS Edge (I'm not sure if 3rd party browsers on these platforms use them instead of Widevine software decryption). These do decryption in GPU hardware, then promptly re-encrypts it to send to a trusted monitor. There's no opportunity for screen capture to read the framebuffer. If you did use Brave with a plugin, I believe it would use software DRM that allows recording.

Politics at work are dandy, so long as they're the right politics and you agree with the company. Just like the time at a previous employer of mine, where we had a morning tea fundraiser for the national animal welfare organisation on the Monday and then a lunch with betting for an annual, national horse race on the Tuesday. Nobody seemed all that interested in the irony there. Elsewhere here in Australia, a number of fast food places made a big song and dance about introducing plant-based options For The Environment TM, but just recently they've quietly removed them from the menu. It's hard not to see any ethical comments/stance as simply an extension of marketing. At best, a company could be selectively ethical, but only where it doesn't affect profit negatively; I just can't see 99% of companies foregoing profit over ethics.
> company C should be liable for their choice of bolt, company B should be liable for any false or incorrect claims for the characteristics of their bolt

I agree with what you're saying. I don't have enough of knowledge of EU law or the full text of the CRA to make a judgement about it specifically. I was just sharing my point of view on software regulation generally.

> Company B should not be held liable for the misuse of their bolt by company C

Putting aside this specific analogy, but on this topic: I do generally think that implied warranties are a good thing, and I don't think it should be legal to disclaim them in all scenarios. Most other professionals are held to professional liability standards, and it is expected that they follow certain basic standards when they practice.

Consider basic best practices, like testing and documentation. It probably is fine if a hobby video game developer doesn't do these things, but if you are putting out software that claims to be intended for "enterprise" or "commercial" use, it is certainly reasonable for others to expect that this software is "fit for this particular purpose", and was built with good software engineering methodology.

I do think it shouldn't be permissible to hide behind a shrink-wrap liability disclaimer when publishing software claimed to be of "commercial" or "enterprise" quality that doesn't even meet basic standard of rigor.

What software really needs right now is a standardized way to measure development quality, and some legal guardrails around standards for dependency management.

I was in a resident territory 60 miles from the home office and we stocked a good supply of parts but far from any part you would ever need. My branch office stocked a higher level of parts and would send them to me via taxi if needed. The regional parts center in Atlanta would air freight over night to the Birmingham airport and I would meet the airplane. I had a part removed from a production line machine and sent to me for a repair. Part support was very good. In the 1990s when I was working for TSS we did get vans so we could have some parts with us.
>This rant is spot on and it's disappointing (but not surprising) that there are so many commenters here that don't get it. Honestly a few years ago I'm not sure I would have got it.

Nailed it. A few years ago, I was deep enough in the zeitgeist of Rust (or whatever project) that I would maybe even be offended by a blog post like this; bro, do you think you're better than Rust? Keep up like the rest of us!

"Gate-readout and a 3D rectification effect for giant responsivity enhancement of asymmetric dual-grating-gate plasmonic terahertz detectors" (2023)
https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/nanoph-2023-0... :

> [...] An antenna connected to the source and gate electrodes of a single-gate-type of these transistors feeds AC THz voltage between them, resulting in excitation of 2D plasmons in their channels and generation of rectified photocurrent by their hydrodynamic nonlinearities [11, 12]. Alternatively, we have developed the so-called grating-gate transistors [12–17] as a type of plasmonic THz detectors. The grating-gate structure serves as a deep-subwavelength coupler that enables direct, efficient, broadband conversion from the incident THz waves to the 2D plasmons, rather than a coupling through an integrated antenna as in the single-gate transistors.

Every power generation technology needs ‘backup capacity’ and energy storage.

If your transmission line to your nuclear power station trips, you need reserve capacity elsewhere to serve the load.

Gas and coal generation all need storage to run reliably.

If you are going to be an armchair power system designer and you want to ‘gross up’ the cost of capacity and storage into the cost of renewable generation, then be consistent.

Thanks for replying. My suspicions were raised because absolutely everything is effusive. Like:

This might be true but in light of recent events you might temper the enthusiasm for Unity a bit by calling it beleaguered.
Not silly question at all. To my knowledge the Falcon uses helium to pressurise the tanks. So the gas you can see is helium. It has several benefits: does not burn, and does not freeze at the temperature of the liquid oxygen. It is also a relatively simple system. They “just”[1] have liquid helium in a composite overwrapped pressure vessel inside the tank and most likely they have a regulator on it to release gas as the oxygen/fuel is used up.

1: this is not easy at all, they lost a rocket due to the helium bottle breaking free once: https://sma.nasa.gov/SignificantIncidents/assets/spacex-falc...

> wouldn't pulling a vacuum in the tank on the way up make it a lot harder to pump the liquid

It would make it impossible to pump. But that is not the only reason you need a pressurant. The tank wall is relatively thin. It would implode in the lower atmosphere if you would have vacuum in it.

Oh, authority is fine. For example, if you're a medical professional, I'll assume you have more knowledge in that domain and defer to your expertise unless I have reason to suspect you're talking out of your ass and hoping I won't notice.

But the thing with medical professionals is that they can't hold a gun to your head if you disagree with them. Law enforcement on the other hand requires no expertise (often even being ignorant of the exact laws they're supposed to enforce) and its own claim to authority is by the barrel of a gun.

You presumably don't accept the authority of a schoolyard bully, so why do you accept any "authority" only backed up by a threat of violence? And if you presumably seek relationships that see eye to eye in a romantic partner or your circle of friends, why would you accept a "social order" that puts any man below another, let alone so many below so few (even if you might happen to be among those few)?

That just doesn't sound very sensible. I don't want to oppress others and I don't want to be oppressed either. A literal armed officer who can get away with killing me is the perfect representation of that so why would I have any warm feelings towards them? Especially when modern police training in the US often literally involves telling them they're the "sheepdogs despised by the sheep because the sheep mistake them for wolves".

We know that familial violence can be cyclic with children suffering abuse by their parents normalising the abuse to cope with their experiences and then replicating the abuse when they themselves become parents. We know this takes conscious effort to break out of. We know that subjects of authoritarian governments will likewise often quickly adapt and rationalise the abuse they suffer.

What makes you think you're the sane one rather than the victim who rationalizes the abusive system they can't escape their black iron prison?

- Brands only matter a little. Most brands have a variety of price/performance offerings.

- For most drivers, more tread is better, and more channels (and a variety of sizes thereof) are better. CA roads don't shed water very well for example, so in heavy rains you need the tire to get the water out from between you and the road.

- Assume tire manufacturers are pareto optimal. Grippier, safer tires have lower MPG and expected lifetimes. The latter is usually somewhat advertised. Buy the 30k tires instead of the 80k mile options.

- If you're not driving in cold (<15F or so) weather, don't get all-season tires. If you are driving in cold weather, get snow tires (better, Nokian studded options don't tear up the road and offer excellent grip if they're legal in your locale). If you are driving in cold weather and not springing for snow tires, do get the all-season option.

- Properly inflated tires matter a lot more than you might think, making cheap tires outperform good options. Checking (or asking a mechanic to check for free) after any major temperature swings or every 3k miles or so is a good idea.

- Several tire sizes fit most rims. The wider options perform a bit better (total tire grip scales sub-linearly with road pressure, so distributing the weight over more area slightly improves grip). You won't pick up more than 3-5% with this parameter, but all-else equal (and if you don't mind worse fuel economy) it's good to know.

The best tires vary from year to year, and there's an inherent tradeoff between the different driving conditions you'll subject them to and how many sets of tires you want to keep around (most consumers want 1 set, most northern consumers at least recognize that 2 sets isn't a bad tradeoff if you have the space for as much of a grip improvement as proper snow tires offer). If you have a competent mechanic you trust, just tell them how you drive and ask what they would do for their car. They test drive a dozen cars a day and have a pretty good feel for what works well enough and gives you a good bang for your buck.

Actually answering your question now, AutoBild, Consumer Reports, Tire Rack, MotorTrend, and a number of other organizations test at least a few models (some of those test lots of models) of tires each year. Actually ranking the best from second-best is hard and maybe prone to bribes. Generally though, they provide objective measurements, and those measurements correlate pretty well with how the tire will handle when placed on your car. If a few choices are close, choosing based on what you can easily find locally or price or shipping or other factors is probably a good idea.

Maybe you read a different report, not the Reuters one that highlighted premature failures of suspension or steering parts described as:

chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
