Realistically it's in the several hundred range. I just did a ping using Vultr's Looking Glass from New Jersey to Mumbai and got around ~240ms on commercial fiber. For people working from home in India (with cable/DSL overhead + distance from the IX) connected to servers in LA I regularly see 300-400ms.

Also keep in mind in a VDI or teleoperation setting there's not only network latency but additional delay from the video encoding, compression/packetization, and decoding on the other side plus a bit of buffer. Honestly I think cloud gaming is a good test case for this - and in my experience that only works well when you have fiber and have the game server in the same city as you (basically <10ms).
I think it was fairly obvious from the show that the Optimus bots were remotely operated. Not like they tried to hide it at all. Just listen to the responses of the bots, they practically admitted that.

The cars, however, were almost certainly running the latest FSD (or some near future unreleased version).
I don't have any first-hand experience with embedded myself, but I've seen positive comments on different forums about using Nim in production for embedded devices.
For example, see a couple pages of comments by girvo [1].

Also there's a video on writing keyboard driver in Nim [2].

I have a friend who I recommended purchase Pro and I put them on a long-term, slower update cycle. I wonder if that will buy them some time.
A fantastic view on the nature of inference and the physical world! What I appreciate most about our LLM adventures in the past 5 years, is that it's finally:

1. Plausible to discuss, and find hints of what "AI" might mean - ("AGI" or "Strong AI").

2. Dig up all those crusty and dusty notions of philosophers long dead, and some nerding out reads from my teenage years. And try to apply them to an interesting system to study empirically, instead of just humanistic pondering.

3. Same with psychology! Now that our pattern matching systems are starting to pass various turing tests, what does that mean for "sentience" and "sapience" and should we all become armchair psychologists as we teach our systems to understand and act in the world? Recall the first part of Oddyssey 2010; where the AI researcher is more of a child psychologist...

Lastly - LLMs and "glimpses of AI" are something new! Not the same old same old recycled tech and popculture. Truly something new under the sun. Good times.
What does everyone think about 1X's NEO? [0] They began from the idea of compliant robotics,[1] which seems to me to be a requirement for safe operation in proximity to humans.

Did Tesla make attendees sign a hefty liability waiver, since Optimus is not a compliant robot, or did they address the inherent problems some other way?

UTC is awful with its arbitrary, unpredictable leap seconds which basically no one cares about unless doing astronomy or navigation. Let’s just switch to TAI and be done with it!

Until we colonize Mars obviously… actually even the Moon has different G field so a different flow of time.

Don't have my license yet, but for me it's definitely building homebrew (i.e. designed by me) transceivers. Not actually that interested in talking to other hams except for then testing my gear.

Except there is a second set of obligations, specifically designed to help avoid business confusion: trademarks. It's not clear why trademarks are considered outrageous. Rails™ matters to DHH, WordPress™ matters to Matt.
I searched for a guide explaining PID controllers the other day, and after the fifth full screen mobile pop up on a result I finally just gave up.

Even on your silly site I accidentally clicked allow because of the buttons switching to default positions I’m not used to.
Any pointers on where we can check the best local models per amount of VRAM available? I only have consumer level cards available, but I would think something that just fits in to a 24Gb card should noticably outperform something scaled for an 8Gb card, yes?
Sadly, read the fine print before applauding too hard
Sorry, was writing on a mobile. Here's a more detailed explanation why it's pure BS.

Because it's simply magic thinking. They postulate a "future fully sector-coupled system" and then say that if this somehow magics into existance, then everything's peachy.

Basically, "a sector-coupled system" allows transforming excess power into something useful (district heating, hydrogen, steel, etc.), and shedding the load and/or providing some power back when there's not enough generated power available.

In other words, if you solve the problem of providing 1 month of energy storage for Germany and Denmark, then renewable energy is basically free. Duh.

The problem is that "sector-coupled systems" don't exist, and their creation will result in far, far, far, far more expenses than building fucking PWRs.
But they did try to hide it. It's in some videos where one of them was trying not to admit they were remotely controlled and that "probably some AI is used"
If MWI is correct, every deadly quantum event in this experiment is a branch in which two different universes exist: one with you, and one without you. Since you can only observe the ones in which you still live, it seems to you that this event stops happening with deadly certainty as soon as you are in the box. When you leave the box, it starts happening again. Repeat as many times as you like, the results are the same. Put someone else in the box, they inevitably die in a few seconds. What is the other possible explanation?
Sure but I find “lady just abandon your animals and save your six children” to be a reasonable take.
Fair point, yeah.
they already have that, it's called human-in-the-loop (HITL) assist. They usually take over when a problem needs to be escalated to a human agent.

The defaults are not at all extreme with the knife, it takes away all the advertorial ad-ons and shows how to disable more (including Edge and defaulting to Edge from system links).

Also includes the ability to mod your own ISO to make a lean clean fast install | boot disk for later on or friends.

It's "open" if you read powershell scripts, it's literally just a pipe from a readable GIT reposity to a powershell GUI that toggles scripts that can be read by clicking on [?]'s.

If nothing else you can select the default recommended updates setting which is no new features just security updates.
The evolution approach is more like throwing spaghetti on the wall not design. The key event seems to “The Cambrian Explosion of Animal Life” which nature “ Experiment” body parts etc and see what is the best.

If a real biologist do it it will be like the evolution line approach which some thinks lead wu han lab created the covid funded by USA and approved by … That is debatable but the approach is not. Unless we can do evolve radio …

One must note bird seems to evolve use quantum mechanics to direct their migration. Hence that is not unthinkable.

The question is whether have radio communication has an evolution advantage. Ignore the issue of not science (as not refutable), that is the real question.
I read that "probably some AI is used" as that it's human controlled. Otherwise it would have been "completely AI controlled" or something similar.

I think "AI" did control their walking. Although calling that AI is probably a stretch.
Kermit defaulted to settings that would transmit 8-bit data over 7E1 through a noisy 110 bps channel (not really, but that gives the flavor - though it could do that if asked). Much-maligned because most terminal programs implemented the base case and nothing more, which was awful.

It was not trivial to reconfigure, but if you did, it had very good throughput. And if you had to make an EBCDIC/ASCII translation, it did that well. Kermit always works. That's the point of the protocol. If you want it to be fast, that's up to you. I did not realize this until I met Kermit gurus who taught me.

What's the point of taking your blood pressure if doing any of these things causes significant variance? I'm not meditating at home or out and about all day. So why does it matter what my blood pressure is in one single state? What if I'm in an elevated state all the time? What if I never am? It makes it really hard to believe that blood pressure readings are anything more than nonsense.
It seems like there's considerable demand for human labour "below the API" that you don't have to talk to. It's kind of sad but people seem to get comfortable with it very quickly.

You also need a 5G core to make that work. Also probably an IMS to actually provide some services on top of that. You also need to rip out all the encryption for the ham bands.

As an aside, The TV Miniseries 'DEVS' covers freewill in an interesting way.

The TV show, is I believe, based on a book.

DEVS focuses on the question of if humans exhibit freewill to make choices, or are our choices determined by the preceding events?

Where I suppose, if we can reason, can we then make choices (freewill) based on the outcome of our reasoning?

> who cares

Almost nobody.

Except the people who are responsible for or manage 40+% of the websites on the internet. The ones who are aware of how early they might become "acceptable collateral damage" to Matt's deranged "nuclear" "war" on WPEngine, and the business ramifications of "waiting till the war settles" if that means significant website downtime or emergency website migration to avoid it.

Which, if the numbers I've seen bandied around are accurate, is something like $400mil annual revenue to WPEngine, representing over a million WPEngine websites who are _directly_ in danger of Matt's current supply chain attacks. And with dozens or hundreds of smaller WordPress hosting companies looking on in horror wondering if they and their customers are next in Matt's extortion war. And probably tens of thousands of web dev firms and digital agencies who're all thinking "WTF?" and making contingency plans for all their WordPress clients no matter where they're hosting them.
Perun’s videos from earlier this year on drone advances and lethal autonomous weapons are good watches. TLDR; you can’t regulate this well internationally because it’s too low a barrier to entry and there’s so much military utility in them.
> Another way to see the benefit of this approach is that if you have a memory violation, then you only have to look in the unsafe blocks.

Not really. Safety is non-local. It is possible to break unsafe code by feeding inputs from safe Rust that don't uphold the invariants that make the unsafe code safe. So it's not enough to look in the unsafe blocks--you have to consider the all the contexts that invoke the unsafe code.

See https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/working-with-unsafe.html, and https://notgull.net/cautionary-unsafe-tale/ for a practical example.
As a user who is in an asian region I have all my machines set to that region. However, from time to time there are cases where dates that need to be in USA format are automatically converted to match my region. Go back, edit them, save and they're formatted again. This isn't consistent enough of a problem for me so I don't have a list of programs that do it.
> It would be a bad architecture choice (almost certainly...)

Naively, it would seem like transformers could line up nicely with turn-based games. Instead of mapping tokens to language as in an LLM, they could map to valid moves given the current game state. And then instead of optimizing the next token for linguistic coherence as LLMs do, you optimize for winning the game.

I suspect LLMs will lead to an increase in bullet-point lists from humans, simply because there's no point writing well when the audience assumes it was ghost-written for you.
AFAIK you can extract the bearings from the bottom bracket with generic tools. So they should've been at least able to regrease or replace those. You can also find custom made bottom brackets online for 2-400€ if it comes down to that. But for an 8yo model from a big manufacturer you can find mass produced ones for a reasonable price. Maybe they just really wanted you to buy a new bike from them.
Sort of - nuke plants are fundamentally phenomenally complicated compared to true economies of scale technologies like solar. You won’t reap 100x cost savings in nukes, no matter how many you build
> The only specialized tool you need for a bike is a spoke wrench.

And a chain whip, and a lockring bit for brakes/cassette, and another bit for the bottom bracket, and some pin spanners maybe, a derailer alignment gauge, maybe crank puller, tire levers, chain breaker, and master link pliers. Hydraulic brakes? Bleed kit, piston press. Pneumatic suspension? Shock pump. Tubeless? Better get a syringe to refill sealant through valves (and don't forget the valve core wrench) or reset your tires every time you need new sealant.

the studies are about outcomes of parachute use writ-large ("gravitational challenges"), not just helicopters.

Only reason I'm being pedantic here is because if the study was in-fact looking at parachutes from helicopters, it could actually be plausible that parachutes had no improvements when used with helicopters. Most, if not all pilots, don't wear parachutes because there's not enough time to jump out of a crashing helicopter to deploy one and the blades would probably hit you anyway (unlike a plane which you could glide for some time, helicopters are notoriously more likely to fall straight like a brick)

I'm also a roboticist. Perception and funding are hard. But don't forget battery energy density, and the power-to-weight ratio and energy efficiency of actuators. Also very very hard, and Moore's law helps not at all.

Autonomous cars are in a nice niche since they store vast energy for actuation anyway, it's OK to be heavy, and the controls are relatively simple. They are limited by perception and decision making.

Humanoids are way more limited by energy storage and actuation. Animals are absurdly efficient.

Originally it was a worthwhile term to examine distinctions between virtue communications that might be more matters of social negotiation and virtue communications that might be reflections of personal value investment.

Then in certain political usage it became a nihilistic drive-by dismissal for nullifying any kind of virtue accountability, whether sincerely invested or not, a challenge to the idea that there was any such thing as sincere virtue discourse.

Now, you're just being rude, I never said things you're implying I did, and I never claimed anything of being "one true way to do anything", I only tried to point out in a humorous way of your uninformed opinion, but I guess you lack basic sense of self-irony. Okay, if you rather remain sanctimonious, stiff-necked "professional", fine.

If you’re doing any kind of scientific computing or electronics computations, “i” or “j” mean the imaginary number sqrt(-1).

Some software, such as Matlab, have those letters reserved for the common case of imaginary roots of a polynomial, and “ii” and “jj” as variables is a common coding convention. Whether “i” or “j” is your letter for imaginary numbers depends on if you’re an electrical engineer or not.
