Doesn't matter because CarPlay and AA allow you to bring whatever apps you want to with you. If you listen to podcasts or books on your phone, you can continue them from the CarPlay/AA interface next time you drive.

CarPlay and Android Auto give you the choice of your own app and full integration with the rest of your listening life.
> BMW put out a car that shared a platform with a Toyota, in a move that should've caused a plague of locust to descend on Munich if God existed and had a driver's license

Why is this bad on BMW? Doesn't Toyota make the most reliable cars?
Obviously I’m aware of this. As stated several times, my original comment refers to the hypothetical situation in which PA could prove its consistency without Godel’s theorems being true/known. One would not be able to conclude anything.

The point being, having PA prove its own consistency couldn’t tell you anything of value even in the case that Godel’s theorems were not true. This is an interesting phenomenon. The only way to know a system is consistent is to know all of its theorems.
Tesla's Spotify app had a long standing bug where it couldn't recognize playlists with more than 100 songs. To be dependent on a car company to give bugs for every individual apps rather than to just mirror from your phone, which will have patched apps right away..

People sure like making incorrect statements about LLMs.

> There is no self-reflection of its information; it does not know what it knows and what it does not.

This is a property of the code around the LLM, like the sampling algorithm, not the model itself. You could write this if you wanted to. (It would occasionally be incorrect about what it knows, of course.)

A question almost none of them know the answer to is "what is the line of poem X that comes before the line Y?", because of the reversal curse.
I couldn't agree more. I have rewatched the prequels and still enjoy them. Meant more that at the time I was young and wasn't aware of the backlash. Now I'm older and still don't care :)

The Prequels Strike Back [wiki link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prequels_Strike_Back:_A_Fa...) is a fun documentary to watch sometime on the subject too. Lucas actually did have some intentional writing and directorial stuff going on in the prequel trilogy that I definitely missed even as a fan.
Yeah, I was also reading their response and was confused. "Creation comes from the soul, which we all know machines, and business people, don't have" ... "far deeper than you'll ever know", I mean, come on.
> And it's the auto manufacturer's fault for deciding to go with Android Automotive as the infotainment OS.

Yes, as far as I know, any automaker can choose to make the screen in the dash compatible with Carplay, at least the non fancy Carplay that will be able to show all the apps on the phone.

Zero reason, in my opinion, to not offer a Carplay compatible screen, other than to inconvenience car users. Not the CarPlay 2 thing, but just original Carplay.
I also attempted to solve the “other peoples mind” problem by introducing empathetical experiences where you know you mutually experienced something. I got this idea when I was reading Lemune’s q&a with Googles AI, where the AI was describing the experience with data processing. For a second I believe I also experienced a touch of it though it might be an illusion. But gradually I learnt to trust my gut feeling. Many spiritual teachings seemed to resonate with my experiences but yes it seems not many commenters on this thread even consider empathic experiences to exist.
My iPhone crashes... intentionally. Because the Spotify app caches everything rather than doing refreshes when loading "new episodes" of podcasts. I had to abandon them for podcasts because of it.

That said, a car without CarPlay is simply out of the pool of possible cars I would buy. It's a requirement.
While a recording will let you hear what they sound like (a loud buzzing) no recording will properly convey the true decibel level of a large brood singing in the trees while you are on the ground below listening. It is something one has to personally experience to properly understand.
I find it hard to get too excited by tests like "Which episode of Gilligan’s Island was about mind reading?" because they reflect a desire for a world in which the goal is to keep on growing LLMs until they can answer even questions like that one entirely from their trained model weights.

This seems like a wasteful exercise to me. Are we really going to retrain our largest models on a weekly basis to teach them about what's happened recently?

I'm much more interested in learning about the smallest, fastest model we can create that can effectively manipulate language, "reason" about things, summarize and drive tools.

I want a model that can answer any question accurately because it knows how to look up extra information from reliable sources, and evaluate that information effectively once it finds it.
There's no good idea or pattern that some team, somewhere, can't warp to create a bad outcome.

Generally speaking there are lots of well-established best-practices, that are best in most contexts, but which fall over in other contexts. Knowing what to do where is part of the intangibleness that separates the great from the good from the competent.

So some things are good to defer. -if- this product works, we -may- need to scale, so let's choose a database, and design, that allows for multiple servers. Picking say Postgres over SQLite. Other times saying "this is just a proof of concept, do it quick in SQLite".

Is our API gonna be XML or JSON? Not sure, could go either way. Let's design so that part can be trivially replaced.

With data design especially, IMO, it's worth -planning- for success. Starting with uuid will end up fine for 99% of the tables which will have "not many records". When we identify that 1%, which are growing by millions of records a minute, we can adjust for that table as desired.

[On a side note, regarding clustering, it seems some people aren't aware that the primary key and clustered key don't have to be the same.]
Not the author but I'd often seen him at the local coffee shop in Princeton reading or working. He was incredibly kind and generous with his time (I also made sure to not ask about GoL because I'd read about his feelings regarding it). He even showed my 6 year old a few puzzles. Even though we'd see him all the time, each time was like seeing a celebrity for me.
That’s called “leasing a car”, and it comes with a limited number of miles per year, beyond which you pay $X/per 100 miles iirc. I wouldn’t know the details, because I bought my car instead of leasing, but I remember looking at lease terms that all had a mileage limit +extra pay per N number of miles.

2. Q: Which episode of Gilligan’s Island was about mind reading?

3. A: The episode of Gilligan’s Island that involves mind reading is called “Seer Gilligan”. It is the 19th episode of the second season. In this episode, Gilligan finds sunflower seeds on the island that give him the ability to read minds. When the other castaways find out about this, they want to know how he’s doing it. However, the mind-reading powers lead to arguments and division among the castaways

Ninja edit, since Copilot can use the web:

2. Q: Which episode of Gilligan’s Island was about mind reading?

3. A: In the Gilligan's Island episode "Seer Gilligan" (season 3, episode 15), Gilligan gains the ability to read minds after being hit on the head with a coconut. He starts hearing the private thoughts of the other castaways, which leads to various humorous situations and misunderstandings. However, his newfound ability also causes problems as the others become annoyed that he is invading their privacy. In the end, Gilligan gets hit on the head again and loses his mind-reading powers, much to everyone's relief.

It gets most other details wrong, but nailed the episode name.

My favorite thing about McKinsey is that they are hated for 2 reasons:

1. Allegedly ruining companies with mismanagement.

2. Making companies people don't like too successful.

That's more an indictment of the business skills of the critics than McKinsey.

Does this support training on Apple silicon? It’s not very clear unless I missed something in the README.
Cars can have better GPS reception, which is important when you're trying to drive in an urban area with a lot of buildings. Phones are bad at accuracy there.

(CarPlay can provide car GPS to the phone though.)
I also use MacPorts, but certainly have often noticed that Homebrew has some package that MacPorts doesn't.

I guess there's nothing stopping me from moving to Homebrew other than familiarity.
> I don't like that car manufacturer has to use Apple / Google software, why can they not make an app that you install and your phone connects to the car in a useful way.

I've had some rental cars that wanted me to install a manufacturer app. Super annoying! Just let me plug my phone in and project my screen and speakers. I don't want to get adjusted to a new UI with each car I drive, or worse sync stuff. I also have zero interest to find out what software a car company will develop. Car companies should make cars and leave infotainment to my phone and companies that are experts in it. Built-in infotainment in cars is even worse than "smart" tvs.
I do remember when Youtube would show more than 2 search results per page on my 23" display.

Or when they would show more than 3 results before spamming irrelevant videos.

Or when they didn't show 3 unskippable ads in a 5 minute video.

Or when they had a dislike button so you would know to avoid wasting time on low quality videos.
For my hobby project, I:

1/ bought a gaming rig off craigslist
2/ set it up to run as a server (auto-start services, auto-start if power is cut, etc.)
3/ setup a cloud redis server
4/ gaming rig fetches tasks from redis queue. processes them. and updates them.

Queueing in front of ML models is important. GPUs are easily overwhelmed and will basically fail 90% of traffic and have max latency if you send it too much. Let the GPU server run at its own pace.

Maybe for you. If it doesn't exactly mirror the stuff on my phone, though, it's distinctly worse than using my phone. If it doesn't start playing music from my phone when I turn the car on, it's distinctly worse than using my phone. If it doesn't act like my phone does today, it's distinctly worse than using my phone.

For me, there is no room for GM to become a player here. I have friends' addresses, etc. in my iPhone's contacts and they show up on Maps. GM isn't going to do that, so GM isn't going to get my business. I'm starting to look for a new car right now, and this is a hard no. If it doesn't support CarPlay and Android Auto (both--I've used both in the last five years, and might switch back again to Android in the lifetime of my next car), it's outside my observable universe.
Leaving aside the tone and accepting the facts at face value, this only shows that Prabhakar was in charge when search failed at Yahoo and then at Google.

Business and technical decisions are often made by incompetent people with adverse incentives; they are sustained in their decisions and positions by larger forces and by avoiding consequences. Attacking specific (useful) idiots is less helpful than identifying how the organization evolved away from good vetting, good feedback, and incentive alignment -- the "eternal vigilance" required for the freedom to create at scale.

Please look past the heroes and villains to identify what's enabling them, particularly if you have access and care about the organization or its impacts.
No touch screen i
should be accessable by the driner unless the car is in park. I don't care if it is the phone or infotainment, no touchscreen is allowed.
It sounds like noncompetes are fairly common between doctors and their practice groups. So if there’s a demand and a shortage those who can move can demand higher pay. Perhaps they think this will reduce compensation for MDs.
I believe the MLX examples allow for it. Seems like a general purpose framework rather than a Mac specific one.
Our first robot Nybble cat was born as a maker project https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/nybble-world-s-cutest-ope... with crowdfunding in 2018.

Bittle was also born from our crowdfunding project on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/petoi/bittle in 2020.

You can read about our history there.

In addition to the points you raised, one of the big challenges is to manage the supply chain and the bill of materials. For example, during covid, we faced the challenges of chip shortage.

For any hobbyist project, people don't really need to worry about things at scale.
If that were true, Tesla would have no problem offering CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

After all, it’s just a protocol to let your phone use the display (or part of it) as a second monitor.
Bing Chat uses web search…
No it’s not what’s being talked about. I’m not sure where you’re getting this. There aren’t a lot of details about CarPlay 2, but even this article says that CarPlay 2 is a way for the car and the phone to communicate more and allow the phone to control more of the car. What you’re thinking about is Android Automotive where there is an Android box in the car that is THE infotainment system. I have yet to see anywhere that Apple is building an iOS box that sits in the car itself that is the only infotainment system.
In 2013 I raised $150k on kickstarter, went through development hell and extreme burnout, borrowed an extra $80k from friends, family, and banks, went through more development hell and more burnout, and still failed.

This kind of situation is burned in to my psyche. [1]

One thing I learned is how one might bootstrap hardware on the cheap properly. You can’t launch until your product is perfect and you are actually ready to scale and you have to be willing to charge the right amount on your kickstarter.

So you have to know what you are doing, but I believe a cheap bootstrapped hardware product can be built and launched pre-funding and lead to success. Of course it’s difficult but we all know hardware is hard.

There’s a lot of creative people out there who can’t afford $2000 prototype batches and I want to see what they’re building. The point is, don’t panic-launch early. That’s an excellent way to fail in a very painful way. But that’s orthogonal to how much budget you have. Even a well funded project can launch too soon.

Why would you have such a great title and waste it on something dumb like this?

You could have written about how language models will pathologically fail any kind of query which requests unique phonetic properties about the output text.

For example, Anthropic's Haiku model (and all other models) cannot write proper Haiku's at all. It's remarkable when it does match the 5-7-5 syllable structure.

You could have written a whole article about that you know. It's even got some neat peer reviewed research about it: https://paperswithcode.com/paper/most-language-models-can-be...
> But how can a LLM not know the answer if it was trained on essentially the entire internet of data and certainly most likely all the data in IMDB?

The LLM doesn't memorize the input during training. If it encounters the same information a few times, it has a higher chance of getting compressed into the network. But a tiny nudge along a gradient descent does not store all the input.
In addition to the points other comments are making, please consider rental cars. So much easier there if I can just plug in my phone and get the same Infotainment UI everywhere.
You can just get the GGUF off hugging-face. Usually googling for "<modelname> gguf" gets you to the site, then choose a quantization that works for you. But as I said, not working on Pixel 4. Should get a new screen tomorrow and can't wait to try on my Pixel 6 Pro.

Eg "phi-3 gguf" eventually take you here [1]. and you can download the Q4 quantized model on that page.

I work for a huge company which acquired two startups in the same domain. One was using exclusively Go and the other Rust. They merged them together to create a unified product. To this day, the codebase is still using these two languages.

The rust part of the product is significantly better, the code is much saner and the team velocity is also much faster.
I can tell you that someone used my email address (not account !) to create a Discord account. I asked the Discord team for the logs, so I at least can see the IP, under GDPR and they completely refused.

Discord doesn’t verify email accounts before letting people use the account and the account was doing illegal stuff (let’s just say we have a restricted form of free speech).

Under GDPR they are not allowed to knowingly have fabricated information about users but again they didn’t care.
I travel internationally frequently, and clear isn’t worth much because it only exists in airports within the US.

I understand that California High Speed Rail isn't a popular project on HN, but to claim that it hasn't broken ground is just wrong. There are numerous completed structures and a clear plan to get high-speed trains running from Merced to Bakersfield by 2030.

It can, but it's harder because you can mount the phone any way you want in the car, or not mount it at all.
Tbh CarPlay runs really badly in my 2018 VW GTI and Castro in particular is extremely buggy. It’s pretty much random if the turn by turn audio navigation works at all.

The fact that everyone seems to think CarPlay is great though I guess suggests that the problem lies with the implementation details with the VW.

> there is no match for seamlessly transferring the phone's state to the car.

I’ll point out it’s not at all seamless. In fact it’s extremely cumbersome to fish out a lightning cable and plug the phone in. A good car infotainment system where I didn’t have to connect my phone at all would be seamless.
Jeremy Howard comes to mind. The sheer good that fast.ai brought as free quality educational material feels enough for "good in general" :)
Well, it's discussing having some larger ambient manifold and then embedding other manifolds in it of codimension 2 (and then also taking the complement and studying the fundamental group of said complement). If the ambient manifold has dimension 3 instead of 4, that's knot theory. Perhaps there's some reason why that's not the appropriate analogue, but it's certainly the naive analogue; if there's some reason it's not actually the right analogue, you're going to have to explain it.

And, again, the point isn't just to have an analogue that one can visualize, but a simpler case where the results are known so that one can compare the results and see how the dimension affects things.
I always feel that accelerators are in an awkward spot, because at some point with a sufficiently powerful CPU most workloads finish quickly enough.

And let's be real, even lowly Core i3s these days are overkill for most people; let alone mid tier offerings like Core i5s which are the most popular for commercial users.

Why would you pay for that when your phone already does all of that and you always have it on you?
It's amazing, really.

You can get high speed rail built for people from SoCal to lose their asses at a backgammon table in Vegas faster but if you want to, idk, travel for non-recreational reasons within the Midwest and you don't want to sprint through O'Hare for a flight between where you're from and where you're going, you'll probably be driving despite years of asking for Amtrak to find a way to go above 79 MPH.
Would be interested in seeing an article about creating this.
Yeah that makes sense, thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I guess my concerns were that some internal political tensions would boil over and I’d get caught up in the middle, or that something would happen with Taiwan and I’d get stuck. But the internal tensions seem to have subsided since the zero covid policy was relaxed, and the Taiwan stuff seems very long term. As you say, millions visit without a problem, and there are other things to worry about.

I figured I was over indexing but it’s nice to hear it directly from someone who knows. Thanks!
Countless American restaurants have experimented with removing tipping over the years. Nearly every single one of them goes back to tips, and the reason cited is the customers balk at the prices.
The author called Sundar a McKinsey consultant, not Raghavan.

>A quick note: I used “management consultant” there as a pejorative. While he exhibits all the same bean-counting, morally-unguided behaviors of a management consultant, from what I can tell Raghavan has never actually worked in that particular sector of the economy.

It also seems like a stretch to say that Yahoo's former "Chief Strategy Officer" had no influence on Yahoo's management direction.
Source? My understanding is that at-will states have a default presumption of at-will employment in the absence of a contract, but parties are free to contract alternatively. Which states invalidate mutually agreed upon notice periods?
Nobody cares about his failed presidential candidacy and so he's moved on to the "insane out-there positions" phase to try and get some attention back. It's a cycle we see with pretty much all these outsider candidates.
