I see buses driving around my city all the time. They're noisy, pollute, take up space, and often have one or two people on them.

Why do you think the TCO is less for a bus than for a self driving car? Why would it be more efficient to have mass transit when you don't have extremely high density? Can you share some data?

Every time I look into building a workflow with langchain it seems unnecessarily complex. So I end up stopping.

Are you just running an LLM server (Ollama, llama.cpp, etc) and then making API calls to that server with plain Python or is it more than that?
Why doesn't it delete /mnt, and /run/media, too?
Once implemented it would be just a matter of time until they advance the features of this with image scanning and of course active actions like taking control over your device with a warrant obtained digitally.

Ah, so it does as well! I only knew that it was a portmanteau of “Я” and “index”. As in “I index”. Which it also is.

Actually SPARC have four instructions that are directly meant for efficient implementation of Lisp/Smalltalk that came from SOAR and SPUR. Using that on top of some kind of Unix is shall we say problematic (in same way that x86 BOUNDS is mostly useless), together with few other “fast conditional trap” instructions in SPARC ISA, but it is there.
The monopoly of Chrome over the marketplace suggests you are wrong, with enough money to move around you can implement AMP for instance, nobody wanted it but everyone wanted the money, so they played along.

I think academia is typically what's meant as an imaginary world, along with play that may be in reference to no world at all.
But he tuned the "test" side of the generate-and-test loop, not the "generate" side. The "generate" side remains a big permutation generator that is also very hard to control. The current highest-ranked system on the private test set of the ARC-AGI (at 34%) is another LLM fine-tuned on manually created examples of ARC tasks, so that would indeed be messing with the generator part of the loop. I'm guessing performance will jump when someone puts the two together.

A heuristic btw, is something completely different than fine tuning, or filtering. Heuristic search is the closest thing we have to an approximation of the kind of goal-driven behaviour we see in animal intelligence.

I think you could argue that gradient optimisation or any kind of optimisation of some kind of objective function is the same (Rich Sutton has a paper titled "Reward is all you need"). I'm not sure where I stand with that.

San Francisco is not Manhattan but its hardly an ideal driving environment. It’s a lot harder to drive there than Phoenix.

No. They sell bundled parts where they integrate SoC, memory and passives so that you can just connect power lines, an SD card, and start running it.

AFAIK there aren't any other major examples of directly elected governing bodies who don't have the power of legislative initiative. There are more examples if you count indirectly elected bodies like the German Bundesrat.

The core governance issue isn't so much about the ability to propose new bills as it is about not being able to function as a true counterbalance. I think if the European Parliament simply had the power to propose repeal of legislation (even if they didn't get the power to initiate legislation), that would go a long way to improving the usefulness of the EP as an institution.
But where do yo get access to these premium models? I only have free access to CoPilot (which claimed at one point to be GPT4) and it cannot solve any of these issues reliably.

>You seem to be complaining that something is impossible because it can't be implemented in a perfect utopian way.

That's not what I'm saying, in fact 'perfect utopian' projects are exactly what I'm expressing skepticism towards. The problems we have with the internet are mostly just symptoms of deeper societal issues, and they arent infrastructure problems that can be easily fixed like a road or bridge with some massive spending bill. If the US actually enforced anti-trust laws and broke up the tech cartels it would solve a whole lot of problems with the internet, but I doubt that idea would get much traction with whoever ends up on the 'new internet committee'. And I dont see it as a lack of idealism, its just plain pragmatism

In SF, waymo isn't particularly slow, and drives remarkably humanlike to me, unlike Cruise which regularly took 2x as long to drive anywhere as a human would, and drove very much not like a human would.

He might have meant trains rather than buses when he brought up mass transit. It's rare I've been on a train in a metro area only carrying one or two people.
If self driving cars were really capital efficient, why hasn't Google replaced their fleet of busses that travel the south bay to SF with their self driving cars? It's not because of anything technical, it's because it doesn't make any financial sense to replace a bus (even one that carries a few people) with a self-driving car.

That, and the business unit that actually operates the shuttle busses lives in the real world.
I'm curious how this actually plays out in the long run.

The one downside to Framework is that they're nice laptops and (precisely because they're repairable and upgradable) they hold value really well... which means the second-hand market exists but isn't an easy way to score dirt cheap hardware. I can drop $200 on eBay and get a good thinkpad; I can't get any Framework anywhere close to that.
By the playbook, they "reverted" until the public opinion forgets about it.

Yes, there is need for research, but the proof is always in the pudding. Is his goal to help along AI architectures, or is it to efficiently simulate the brain instead? If it's the former, the perhaps the incremental lessons ought to be productionized as they are discovered. Either way, there is need for a benchmark score to be attacked, so the score can be targeted for improvement as time progresses. In contrast, LLMs are tested on numerous benchmarks, improving steadily year after year. All the best to his dedicated efforts.

I don’t know whether the specifics of your numbers are true or not, but if efficient transit for the masses in urban areas is the goal, self-driving cars have proven they are not the solution.

Even with a 100% safety rating, cars don’t scale to denser urban environments such as SF, NYC, Boston, Seattle, etc… For that we need buses, trams, and subways. My preference would be self-driving dedicated bus rapid transit lanes.
That's great news. I'm so happy for my queer Thai friends. A beautiful country with a very warm and welcoming people (and delicious food).

The share of nickel production going into batteries has risen quickly in recent years:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1257902/share-of-nickel-...

15% of consumption in 2022, up from 3% in 2015.

Nonetheless, stainless steel is still the largest consumer by far:

https://www.usgs.gov/centers/national-minerals-information-c...

Nickel is primarily sold for first use as refined metal (cathode, powder, briquet, etc.) or ferronickel. About 65% of the nickel consumed in the Western World is used to make austenitic stainless steel. Another 12% goes into superalloys (e.g., Inconel 600) or nonferrous alloys (e.g., cupronickel). Both families of alloys are widely used because of their corrosion resistance. The aerospace industry is a leading consumer of nickel-base superalloys. Turbine blades, discs and other critical parts of jet engines are fabricated from superalloys. Nickel-base superalloys are also used in land-based combustion turbines, such those found at electric power generation stations. The remaining 23% of consumption is divided between alloy steels, rechargeable batteries, catalysts and other chemicals, coinage, foundry products, and plating.

I expect that the share of consumption going to batteries will plateau this decade, since nickel-free lithium iron phosphate batteries are rapidly growing market share:

https://source.benchmarkminerals.com/article/what-to-expect-...

The rise of cheaper lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries will continue this year, with the cell chemistry set to account for almost 50% of all market demand. LFP cells are forecast to increase their market share to 48% in 2024, from 45% of demand in 2023, according to Benchmark’s Lithium Ion Battery Database.

And sodium ion batteries free of nickel and lithium are now commercially available and ramping up production:

"China's first large-scale sodium battery energy storage station now operational" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40454047

"Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40248627

Which is to say that safety conditions in Indonesian nickel facilities will probably still be poor, but won't have a lot to do with batteries.
There isn't so much of a distinction in the UK. Even where it is FTE, the recruiter can still contract with the hiring party to make the same effective leverage as in what you call staffing.

It's less common, but they'll insert themselves as a middleman whereever they can.

At my last job, the recruiter managing the contract and FTE coders flew in on a private helicopter and gifted the office manager a Rolex. Wish I was joking.

Those are technical _developments_ to be sure, but _progress_ implies movement toward a goal. As I understand it, what's being questioned isn't the development of new and innovative technology, but whether what is often done with these technologies and labeled "progress" is actually deserving of that name.

There have been some articles about something like that, yet another revolutionary battery technology to never make it out of the lab. The idea was that the refill station would drain depleted sludge (electrolyte or whatever) out of the battery, add new sludge to replace it, and then somehow reprocess the depleted sludge that it had collected. I heard about that at least 20 years ago. Since then, nothing.
CoinHome: Bullish Outlook for the RWA Ecosystem
In addition to basic cryptocurrency trading services, CoinHome also covers a variety of financial products, including commodities futures, indices, forex, and RWA (Real-World Asset) digital stocks. This diversified product portfolio offers investors a broader and more varied range of investment options and opportunities. It allows users to manage their portfolios more flexibly, making smart, diversified allocations based on market conditions and personal needs to better achieve their wealth goals. CoinHome firmly believes that only by offering a comprehensive suite of financial tools and products can it meet the diverse needs of different users and help them achieve greater success in the digital asset market.

The benefits of RWA include:

Increased transparency in market risk and asset utilization.
Provision of DeFi composability.
Improved accessibility for underbanked and underfunded populations.
Capturing value from larger and more stable traditional financial markets.
RWA provides the DeFi ecosystem with a way to incorporate traditional financial assets, thereby expanding the market scope and user base of DeFi: creating a new open DeFi financial market through open, on-chain, community-driven, programmable, decentralized protocols.

CoinHome has currently launched a trading rebate section and will continue to advance the RWA layout. Compared to pure crypto assets, RWAs are often considered lower-risk investments because they are linked to real-world assets, which typically have stable values and predictable returns. By tokenizing physical assets, RWAs can enhance asset liquidity, enabling otherwise illiquid assets to be traded on the secondary market. More importantly, RWAs may more easily adapt to existing financial regulatory frameworks, making them highly attractive to investors and businesses seeking compliant investment pathways. Last June, when the market entered a deep bear phase, tokens from established DeFi platforms like Compound and MakerDAO began to rise on the RWA narrative, reaching new highs for the year. The surge in interest in RWAs is due in part to whales seeking stable, fixed returns in the real world after the bear market's trials. RWAs, as one of MakerDAO's most important topics, are continuously discussed and validated by the community as a significant solution.

The real breakthrough for RWAs on the blockchain lies in balancing compliance considerations with the behavior patterns of on-chain users. Lowering the barriers to RWAs and integrating them into millions of on-chain wallets marks the true beginning of the RWA revolution. Advances in blockchain and smart contract technology make RWA implementation more efficient and secure, reducing operational costs and risks. Thus, CoinHome has every reason to believe, and firmly believes, that offering a comprehensive suite of financial tools and products is essential to meet the diverse needs of different users and help them achieve greater success in the digital asset market.

Maybe your city should invest in better buses, road infrastructure (eg bus lanes) so they not stuck in traffic, and optimize the schedule and then you will see that the public transit is actually a more efficient alternative to self driving taxis
Google's buses looked pretty full a lot of the time (a few years ago at least). The economics of those are probably pretty good. That said: I doubt city buses are that bad either. Data is needed for both of these points, speculation is a waste of time.
