the zeekr model is indeed being tested; however it does have a steering wheel (and the article you linked mentions this.)

The steering wheel is required by law in various places, and is also needed because when Waymo's get stuck they send people out in trucks to 'complete the trip', unstuck the car manually, etc.
Yes. That's a moronish decision to have back to back courses. For all participants. Teachers and students the same.

Is there a reason for back to back accept tradition?
I think there can't be a pro reason, but I think of a few contra reasons like no time to attend the washing room between the courses, no time to prepare the stuff, etc..

Hmm.. may be, just thinking of.. the classes may stop 10min earlier. That could work out, then..

In my experience in teaching students -> never ever I finished on time with certain subjects. And if someone told me the course time is over, he/she/it was free to leave. Seldomly the students left.

So for me, Berkeley time is the way to go. Even better is having the European kind of course/break.

> constantly ask yourself how can I make the company more valuable

Ya only if you have some ownership in the company. Otherwise much better to do it for your own company / projects. You are hired to do a job, don't need to go beyond for a company who will not pay you more.
Article says yes steering wheel until regulatory approval.

There’s also a 100% tax on Chinese cars imported to the US, so hard to say if this demo is a realistic model.
I also don't know how true these stories are. Is there any proof?
The Pico W connects the RP2040 to a CYW43439 over PIO. Works pretty well.
From the Introduction:

> After the past several decades of humanity putting all of its collective
knowledge online, we are seeing more ways to prevent us from accessing it.

This hits so hard, especially for someone who saw the Internet becoming this awesome, huge open library that everyone can access and contribute and then witnessing it being paywalled, drowned with ads and slop, monetized to oblivion, sometimes straight up disappear. It's heartbreaking.
I think many things can be true at the same time:

- AI is currently hyped to the gills
- Companies may find it hard to improve profits using AI in the short term
- A crash may come
- We may be close to AGI
- Current models are flawed in many ways
- Current level generative AI is good enough to serve many use cases

Reality is nobody truly knows - there's disagreement on these questions among the leaders in the field.

An observation to add to the mix:

I've had to deliberately work full time with LLM's in all kinds of contexts since they were released. That means forcing myself to use them for tasks whether they are "good at them" yet or not. I found that a major inhibitor to my adoption was my own set of habits around how I think and do things. We aren't used to offloading certain cognitive / creative tasks to machines. We still have the muscle memory of wanting to grab the map when we've got GPS in front of us. I found that once I pushed through this barrier and formed new habits it became second nature to create custom agents for all kinds of purposes to help me in my life. One learns what tasks to offload to the AI and how to offload them - and when and how one needs to step in to pair the different capabilities of the human mind.

I personally feel that pushing oneself to be an early adopter holds real benefit.
Note: There are today completely formal systems of proofs which are much more concise than what Russel had. You can now prove 1+1=2 after a few pages of rules (say of Martin-Löf type theory), a couple of definitions (+, 1 and 2) and a very short proof by calculation.

In practice, one would use a proof assistant, which is like a programming language, such as Agda. Then it is just the definitions and the proof is just a call to the proof checker to compute and check the result.
I’ve found it to be much faster and far more convenient than downloading the image I want and writing it to a usb drive.

I did at one point keep a few stock images on my tftp server but even there, they would go out of date quicker than my need to use them. So I ended up sticking with NetBoot.xyz for convenience
For small scale use cases resource heavy does not matter, but only the ease of use. Amazon proprietary APIs are notoriously hard to work with.

From what I gather, the intent seems good. Identify if your product is likely to be used by children, how old these children are, ensure no harmful contacts or content is possible, collect only the minimal amount of data, don’t use this data to profile them, and make it easier for children to remove their data, as well as store it for a minimal time period.

The problem might be in the wording, like “likely to be used”, “dark patterns” and “harmful content” without specifying what this entails.
Haha, yeah - although their comment was only considering the 2D case, same as the book.

You can make a (very efficient!) diffuser from 2-channel rotations, but you have to tune it a bit to get it smooth without having a slow attack. With more channels, it's much easier to get right.
Your second part is how I think and how I think most people think. That's exactly what I meant.
> They might have some success because they put a slick interface over a shoddy backend, like Robinhood making a nice UI while farming out the actual clearing house work to a third party because they don't understand it.

Robinhood went self-clearing in 2018 and don’t “farm out” their clearing house work.
The main benefit of having a car is that it's right there the moment you need it, you can take it as far as you need to and you can load it up with whatever you need - none of this applies to waymo or a taxi without getting too expensive.

And saying taxis are like public transportation, because another person is driving you, is going in favor of OPs point out people here being out of touch.
> any car

I had a friend who avoided a situation like this because he was in a 1989 Miata and was able to see the child who was looking at the stickers that my friend placed on his rear bumper at the time. So yes, there are cars that exist that can do this.
> which he apparently took on his travels!!

He definitely did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babou_(ocelot):

“In the 1960s, Babou was frequently seen with Dalí, who claimed to have been given the wild ocelot by the head of state of Colombia. Dalí had always been a cat lover and had an interest in exotic animals. He enjoyed a visual pun and would sometimes wear a cat pattern or coloured coat when travelling with Babou. In 1969, he was photographed leaving a Paris metro station with an anteater on a lead.

For a time in the 1960s, Dalí was more often than not accompanied by Babou. In a restaurant in Manhattan, although Babou's leash was tethered to the table, a fellow diner became quite alarmed until Dalí assured her that Babou was an ordinary cat “painted over in an op art design." On another occasion, when Babou and Dalí were visiting a gallery in Paris, Babou "made a nuisance" on some valuable 17th-century lithographs. Dalí claimed that the connection with him could only increase their value and the dealer increased the price of the lithographs by 50%. Dalí also agreed to sell the dealer a batch of his lithographs to placate him.

In 1970, Robert Wernick reported in Life magazine that Babou had a younger companion named Bouba who were led into the hotel Meurice on a leash by one of Dali's assistants and made sick by the hotel's revolving doors. The Meurice was a luxury hotel in Paris since 1815, where Dalí was a regular guest for 30 years in its best known suite, the Royal Suite, which had been home to King Alfonso XIII during his exile from Spain. Writing in his memoirs, the actor Carlos Lozano (a friend of Dalí) stated, “I only saw the ocelot smile once, the day it escaped and sent the guests at the Meurice scurrying like rats for cover.”

Babou also accompanied Dalí on a transatlantic crossing on the SS France.”*
Yep, AI art is being used all over the place.

People just notice the shittiest ones where some marketdrone uses Dall-E to create the most stereotypical shit and puts it on a massive billboard or poster with zero thought for anything.

With local models + local learning, you can create stuff that looks like the company's IP and use it as a jumping off point or for inspiration.
Thanks for checking it out! Working on it right away :D
What I get out of this is that even for teams that prioritize trust and velocity and eschew the use of pre-commit code reviews, there's a strong argument to be made for putting all new hires on an approval-required list for the first few months!
There is still a slight difference between having to take a packed subway between A’ and B’ (while you’re trying to do A->B) and doing A->B in a car of your own with a driver you don’t know.
Linotype didn’t come out of nowhere either. Printers used to cast type manually.

And don’t just gloss over TeX’s astounding correctness. It’s a truly remarkable feat of the human intellect to design something so large with so few errors.
From China? Does Waymo have to pay the 100% tariff on electric cars from China?

(Detroit is terrified of EVs from China. Detroit went all-in on "more crap per car" and much higher price points. Consumers didn't go for it. Meanwhile, there are good US$25,000 EVs from China from multiple manufacturers. Even Tesla says they want to make one.)

Well, maybe because people and companies still overwhelmingly seem to think LLMs == AI.

AI ain’t going nowhere. And certainly isn’t overhyped. LLMs however, certainly are overhyped.

Then again I find it a good interface for assistants and actual AI and APIs that it can call on your behalf
Investor Carl Icahn charged with hiding billions in loans
If they're using the pictured CM1e, five seats. The concept had no steering wheel but my understanding is that the laws in a lot of places require one to be present (even if they don't require a human to be sitting in the driver's seat) so the production version might have one.
Too bad. The unused driver position wastes so much space inside the vehicle.
Can you give some examples of the tasks you did manage to offload successfully?
Imagine completely standardized cable runs.. you could have small,induction driven robots, travelling the system laying new cables, checking and removing old ones.
"The CM1e concept does not have a steering wheel, but until that setup is permitted by local regulations, a production version would be equipped with one; steering and braking are by-wire. All the self-driving hardware is by Waymo."
This is probably the case for some, but not for all of them. There have also been attempts at completely replacing something like our digital registration for elections system. Basically every adult is issued a voter card when we have elections, in the “olden days” you’d register at tables with people with big voter books, where they’d need time to find you which can generate some rather large queues in rush hour. With the digital system every voting card has a barcode as well as the other info and they can just scan your barcode which is much faster.

Anyway the old thing was build when the public owned their own IT. It’s been something like 25 years since that was privatised and nobody has been capable of replacing that old system, meaning that the old organisation which is now a private company has a monopoly. Which is against our law.

There is really not a lot to it technically. But apparently it’s proving impossible to replace the mainframe way of dealing with it through the CISC input terminal thing. I have no idea why, we’ve had some of our biggest IT suppliers taking turns at cracking it and nobody has been able to so far. I think the ultimate “must not break” deadline was 10 years ago.

This was the “easiest” example. A lot of the others have decades of stuff build on top of them. There is the COBOL core and what has been hard for people to replace here is the bi-temporal data. But on top of the maintain there is a myriad of different Java services (only Java if you’re lucky) which turn the data into something which can be worked with and consumed by well, http.

This post shouldn't have been flagged.
Me too! I think it's the pontification presented in a self-aware, humorous way.

I strongly agree with about half of the essay, while I want to agree with the other half in principle, but instead I think it is indeed "...so ridiculous that [he is] obviously out of touch with the real world".
What on Earth? :(

Was it a lot cheaper than the Elgato one?

https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Stream-Deck-Pedal-footswitches...

I'm thinking this remapper would get some buttons working on some old USB keyboards that have driver issues. BUT, the cost and time to make one of these remappers makes it only useful in very extreme circumstances where buying a alternate replacement device is not possible, feasible or desirable.
I have no clue why people here are comparing a Raspberry Pi with an ESP32, while those products have some tinkering overlap, they are entirely different product categories.

Your Raspberry Pi will have some difficulties running from battery for months while your ESP will already have a hard time driving a reasonably high resolution display for HMI
Given the number of connections/nodes in my design, I'd be interested to know what the performance is.

For Web Audio, there's an increasing trend of compiling WASM and running it in an AudioWorkletProcessor, which is maybe 2-3x slower than native. It's actually how I do a lot of my prototyping now, because the Emscripten build times are faster than a full plugin, and I can send it to people without them having to install anything.
Close! It was 1 dev and 1 artist for a long time. Eventually the runtime and support load became too high and it's slowly grown to 9 people. Running lean was satisfying but exhausting.
I love the Give and Take one.
Your link shows that Jellyfin isn't recommended for video encoding, but nothing about using Kodi (as OP is doing) implies doing anything of that sort.

How's power consumption on those N100 boards these days? The RPi has always been quite good for the "I need to run a daemon but don't want to pay more than a USB charger's worth of power" segment. The N100 itself has a reasonable TDP but the boards and storage always seem to draw more power, especially at idle.
I disagree, I think the current approach actually makes for a better and more open web long term. The fact is that either you pay for content, or the content has to pay for itself (which means it's either sponsored content or full of ads). Real journalism costs money, there's no way around that. So we're left with a few options:

Option a) NYT and other news sites makes their news open to everyone without paywall. To finance itself it will become full of ads and disgusting.

Option b) NYT and other news sites become fully walled gardens, letting no-one in (including Google bots). It won't be indexed by Google and search sites, we won't be able to find its context freely. It's like a discord site or facebook groups: there's a treasure trove of information out there, but you won't be able to find it when you need it.

Option c): NYT and other news sites let Google and search sites index their content, but asks the user to pay to access it.
Anrdoid and iOS don't support USB HID natively. The iPod does with Rockbox, but I'm probably the only person still carrying one around.

The best solution I've found for pocket-sized USB HID is an EspUSB Tiny:

It's an ESP8285 acting as a USB keyboard, with the keystrokes coming over WiFi from a nearby phone.

> It doesn't have the hardware video encoders the Pi4 had

Yea I included that under GPU, but spelling it out is a good point. A major step back. I use some of my Pi4s with a camera module for other uses, and rely on hardware encoding. The N100 can encode 4+ 1080p streams in hardware without breaking a sweat.

> maybe less once you factor in a PSU, case, storage etc

Most certainly. For a mini-pc application you'll need special USB power supplies, since the Pi5 doesn't fully support USB-PD (it won't accept >5V), so the USB-PD supplies you got for your phone, laptop etc probably won't cut it. And to use M.2 storage you need a separate HAT. And you want a case for it, and some cooling. Between those three, price for a 8GB RPi5 comes very close to a N100 box.
That's great if you want a tutorial, I guess. "How does this work" is different from a tutorial though, IMHO.
That's people's passive aggressive way to tell you "we want more from AI"
Rich Harris, creator of Svelte, worked at the Guardian. Svelte has been adopted at NYT however [0].

You might be thinking of Mike Bostock, the creator of D3.js and ObservableHQ.com, who led data visualization work at NYT for several years [1]. I'm not sure if they have people of that magnitude working for them now.

For me the experience was quite different. On windows I was constantly out of RAM for some reason, windows idling was already chewing through 6 GBs and didn’t seem to free a lot when memory pressure increased. On Linux I barely run into RAM issues anymore since everything seems to run more efficiently
I use an Apple keyboard on my work PC, but would rather use Command-C and Command-V instead of Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.

This remapper should be able to remap the Command/Windows key to Ctrl.
I went to an art school so a lot of my friends are artist of various mediums and some use A.I. for fun and profit and I haven’t seen any of them say negative things about it. I feel like the artist who hate A.I. now are modern day luddites.

It’s just a tool, adapt or get left behind. I wonder if this is how painters felt when photography became accessible to the massess.
Good read and good direction for the project to take. I hope that the solutions to these challenges end up materializing (pun fully intended).
I would advocate that anything substancial is better off with a JIT, even a dumb one e.g. template JIT, we aren't dealing with 8 bit home computers memory constraints any longer, except in some IoT deployments.
Broadly agree.

But the people who use a tool like this aren't doing "slop" in the fist place, any more than they're importing the first stock art matching a keyword and calling it a day.

The stuff that gets the flak — I've seen some on posters in the U-bahn here, with a man exiting an airport luggage scanner while a robot scans his belly to reveal he's pregnant with a cat — are done by people with IMO no artistic standards to understand why editing is needed.
Their (human) reply makes me suspect it's a human using an llm without realizing how obvious it is that they're using one.

Edit: Just realized they're probably the author too of the post
Here's the protocol I use: for any new project first use the 8GB version. Let it settle for a while, then check what do I actually need, and swap the board for a cheaper one. Minimizing the specs makes sense it you have many RPis running a variety of projects. If you just have 1 board that is a catch-all device for your small projects/services then by all means go wild. But then I'd actually recommend an x86 NUC (if GPIO is not needed). You can buy a new or even better a used one very cheaply.
No. You will definitely not get peak capacity even in the sahara. They got those numbers under perfect conditions in a laboratory, not under real circumstances.
Well, they've been successful in that they seem to be far ahead of any other self-driving company* in putting level 4 vehicles on the road carrying paying customers. Whether that pans out as a viable business of course remains to be seen. (Although I expect it probably will be economically viable, and mainly a matter of getting the public to be indifferent to fatalities the way we are for human drivers.)

* I think maybe Mobileye is the nearest while being pretty far back, but I'm not too familiar with what's going on outside the US.
From a neuroscience perspective , current AI has not helped explain much about real brains. It did however validate the connectionist model of intelligence and memory, to the point that alternate theories are much less believable nowadays. It is interesting to watch the deep learning field evolve, hoping that at some point it will intersect with brain anatomy.
The problem is that this might end with a bad incentive structure that I think would lead to bad quality: it would push you to write the kind of articles that everyone wants to click on/pay for. So mostly clickbait. Emotional content instead of factual one. It's unlikely that this could finance the long-term, high-quality investigative journalism that actually defines high quality journals.
Well revealing the car mfr Zeekr is a big deal, perhaps it has been done before but I hadn't seen it.

I took a Waymo this past weekend in SF. 8 miles, $41, and 51 minutes to cross town in light-medium traffic. It clearly has to avoid certain routes due to insufficient HD mapping -- like construction. 51 minutes is way too long, fun as the experience is with no driver...
Just enough assembly to blow your mind
I wondered how the real price of the Pi has changed since launch and looked it up. Apparently the launch price in 2012, $35, is equivalent to $47.95 today. So this is pretty close.
> Shipping two different versions of the software, instead of having some sort of switch you can flip, seems sub-optimal precisely

Someone on X was saying that NASA's definition of "flight software" includes config files. So it isn't actually the code that needs to be changed, just the config.

I think the need for 4 weeks for a config change is the requirement to test the new config in a simulator (against a long list of scenarios) and have it reviewed and approved by various engineering teams, both Boeing and NASA. Plus likely some margin added.
It depends on which parts of software engineering you work in. If you work anywhere where performance matters people tend to know how computers work. If you work in 90% of software engineering you’re likely actively writing code which is terrible from an engineering perspective. Look at how popular things like SOLID and Clean Code in general are. When they are a direct path to horrible performance as you enter the area of L1 cache misses and vtavles on even an extremely simple function. It’s so weird to switch between working close to the hardware and working high above. Especially because Clean Code doesn’t actually seem easier to read or indeed maintain.

As an external examiner for CS students I can’t say I’m surprised. They aren’t taught science anymore, they’re taught practices and patterns, and since nobody knows how a computer actually works or how to write performant code it’s easy for various grifters to sell them nonsense.

I mean, how well would Clean Code, SOLID and to some degree Agile really sell if people knew the key people behind these things haven’t worked in software engineering since 20 years before Python was even invented? Probably not so well.

Looking at the store page is refreshing my memory. I ended up being unwilling to install the sketchy software. I just took it for granted it would come with a sensible default. Mouse3+, or a joypad input. Something.
