A-pillars are the pillars of a car that support the windshield and the front of the roof. They've gotten bigger in recent years - which reduces the visibility of pedestrians, cyclists, and other cars. Drivers can't see through pillars. Big pillars are safer for the driver in case of a collision or a rollover, but paradoxically also makes that car more dangerous for everyone else on the road. I don't think they make crosswalks obsolete, but crossing the road is more dangerous today than it was 50 years ago.

The problem with the internet nowadays is that a few big players are making up their own law. Very often it is against local laws, but nobody can fight with it. For example someone created some content but other person uploaded it and got better scores which rendered the original poster blocked. Another example: children were playing a violin concert and the audio got removed due to alleged copyright violation. No possibility to appeal, nobody sane would go to court. It just goes this way...
Crosswalks are typically at intersections - this is NOT where pedestrians are most protected. Often, it's safer to cross in the middle of the road, particularly if it's one way.

When you're at an intersection, there's cars coming from many directions. In addition, from the crosswalks I've seen they don't even stop turning cars - the turning cars have to be looking and stop themselves.

One of the things i miss the most from developing in ruby is the code quality instrumentation: metric-fu, reek, rubocop and lots of other gems that allowed us (in a previous ruby shop) understand and monitor the quality of our code like ABC, Cyclomatic complexity, duplicated code, etc).

Now in Typescript, I haven't found a lot of tools to calculate,visualize and track these stats. Metric-fu was amazing.
I'm talking about certain states, like Idaho, Wyoming, and east Oregon being racist meccas, where they have encouraged migration of like minded individuals, and have become a politically dominant force in their regions. That is a lot different than the universal background racism.
Of course, and -- if you were Roman, for instance -- you could, for example, call the 8th month a name with "octo" (Latin for "eight") in it, or the 10th month something with "decem" (Latin for "ten").
This would ruin the political parties. The only way they survive is that any rep or senator who says "screw you, I'm in office now and you can't make me do anything" finds that the party withdraws campaign support next go round.

With no one (hardly ever) getting a second term in office, without there being campaign money, parties die. Maybe the polarization dies too.

Oh, and no need for term limits anymore. Sort of baked in, without needing to be explicit.

I'm undecided on whether we'd get more ijit populism or less.

Quite honestly, I think senators should be picked by the states... the 17th was a mistake. It made a bicameral Congress essentially unicameral.

There is quite a bit of historical evidence for this being really bad for society.
On reflection my earlier comment was a little off the mark - all 3 of those sites use JavaScript, but minimally.

Zero JavaScript is rarely practical when there's meant to be interactivity of any kind. The issue isn't the language, but the appalling bloat that is now the norm on the web. And, course, bad design in its various forms.
> to purchase a machine that feels like it really belongs to me

How true is this when they devices are increasingly hostile to user repair and upgrades? MacOS also tightens the screws on what you can run and from where, or at least require more hoop jumping over time.
AI will be useful with toasters and fridges but of course that doesn't mean it will have to run on the devices itself
Are they going to make the benchmark available so other LLMs can be compared?

"Made in China" in the US typically means "made cheaply" - which, if you look at what people buy, is actually what people typically want.

You get what you pay for.

In the case of electric cars, China has their own domestic market that actually wants to drive a decent car, and so they are building for that.

BYD cars aren't particularly "cheap" in the way a "Made in China" spatula is.
There is some discussion online on whether this happens when you have a Rosetta app running in the background somewhere (say a util you got via Homebrew, for example).

In my country you can buy a device and write off in 2 years, VAT reimbursed, then scrap it from the books and you sell it to people without tax payed to people who otherwise would pay a pretty hefty VAT. This decreases your loss of value to like half.

Looks like there is future for the car makers to please everyone :)

One annoying thing with automatic cars here on France is that if you get your driving license on them tout cannot drive a manual without a special extra course (just driving his, no exam).

A driving license done on a manual allows driving both cars.
They aren't going to be using fp32 for inferencing, so those FP numbers are meaningless.

Memory and memory bandwidth matters most for inferencing. 819.2 GB/s for M2 Ultra is less than half that of A100, but having 192GB of RAM instead of 80gb means they can run inference on models that would require THREE of those A100s and the only real cost is that it takes longer for the AI to respond.

3 A100 at $5300/mo each for the past 2 years is over $380,000. Considering it worked for them, I'd consider it a massive success.

From another perspective though, they could have bought 72 of those Ultra machines for that much money and had most devs on their own private instance.

The simple fact is that Nvidia GPUs are massively overpriced. Nvidia should worry a LOT that Apple's private AI cloud is going to eat their lunch.
This has been a long time coming. I don't agree with a few of the other commenters on the efficacy of tariffs, I think it will just punish US consumers while allowing Tesla to grow fat on state largesse.
Exactly. You want a W/D combo that'll last forever? No gimmicks? No nonsense? Get a speed queen. Ugly as hell, basic as hell, and built like a brick shithouse and made right here in the good ol' US of A.

You would think so but it's often the opposite. The poorer you are the more conscious you have to be about money management so getting laid off may just be yet another obstacle life has thrown at you, business as usual.

Meanwhile if you've lived an easy life you may not have learned how to cope when the hard times come.
I suspect that a lot of the hard, google-scale stuff has already been done and packaged as an internal service or library - and just gets re-used. So the AIs are probably churning out new settings dialogs and the like.
This assumes that human reviews also catch these which is DEFINITELY not the case either.

As long as you have good pipelines, linters, a careful suite of tests at different levels like unit, integration, e2e and if you can test things in an acceptable like environment then human code reviews offer very very little benefit…

This is a deeply problematic way to operate. En masse, it has the right result, but, for the individual that will have their life turned upside down, the negative impact is effectively catastrophic.

This ends up feeling a lot like gambling in a casino. The casino can afford to bet and lose much more than the individual.

"Small scale" nuclear that people talk about is around 10MW. It would power a handful of neighborhoods if the consumption wasn't concentrated in a short time. But can still power a dozen homes.

Back when the Leaf was eligible for the $7,500 federal rebate, that accounted for a pretty big chunk of the depreciation for the lower trims. MSRP was in the $28,500 neighborhood. Minus $7,500, leaves you at $21,000. Or 26% hit the day you drive it off the lot.

But this court decision is a real world example, and not some esoteric edge case.

This is something I don’t think needs analogies to understand. SA/CP image and video distribution is an ongoing moderation, network, and storage issue. The right to not be under constant digital surveillance is somewhat protected in the constitution.

I like speech and privacy and am paranoid of corporate or government overreach, but I arrive at the same conclusion as you taking this court decision at face value.

I wrote this code in the early 2000s, so I don't remember the exact thought process. But I think my thinking was something along the lines of "this is a thing that exists, therefore I should model it 100% accurately". But I think the right way to think about it is "this is a thing that exists but most developers would be better off never thinking about, therefore I should omit it entirely".

Of course, the _real_ correct solution is to split up a date/time library into a number of closely related classes/structs, and allow users to pick the one that meets their needs. So most folks would pick the leap second-free class, but a few would use the one with leap seconds baked in.
Would be incredibly fascinating to consider what if Bungie was never bought by Microsoft and Halo ended up a Mac title first. It would've severely capped the influence of the game (and maybe its quality), even after it would have been ported to PC. Would Halo have even been imported to Xbox? On the flip side, if it somehow managed to capture considerable success- would it have forced Jobs and Apple to recognize the importance of the gaming market? Either way, the entire history of video games would be altered.

The difference between "I don't know" and "I thought it worked like this" is purely a matter of degrees of ignorance. It sounds like the cops were ignorant of the law in the same way as someone who is completely unaware of it, just to a lesser degree. Unless they were misinformed about the origins of what they were looking at, it doesn't seem like it would be a matter of good faith, but purely negligence.

I can generate in eclipse pojo classes or their accessor methods. I can let maven build entire packages from say XSDs (I know I am talking old boring tech, just giving an example). I can copy&paste half the code (if not more) from stack overflow.

Now replace all this and much more with 'AI'. If they said AI helped them increase say ad effectivity by 3-5%, I'll start paying attention.
Exactly. People are all for globalization until it comes for their specific industry and job. I remember there being a great uproar and gnashing of teeth over the outsourcing of IT jobs to Asia back in the 90s and 00s, yet now there’s something wrong with protecting one of America’s remaining big manufacturing industries.
In the United States, having laws like that results in discriminatory policing (see many threads here). Probably less than an issue in a country that doesn't have such issues with race.
This is NOT a secure hash. This is an image similar to hash which has many many matches in not related images.

Unfortunately the decision didn't mention this at all even though it is important. If it was even as good as a md5 hash (which is broken) I think the search should be allowed without warrant because even though a accidental collision is possible odds are so strongly against it that the courts can safely assume there isn't (and of course if there is the police would close the case). However since this has is not that good the police cannot look at the image unless Google does.
They SHOULD be determined by those cities. It's not like Wyoming gets a say with the EC. Instead, who's nominated is decided by Iowa and the presidency is decided by six suburban housewives in Pennsylvania. It would be a huge improvement if Los Angeles and NYC were actually were rallies were held.

> What are the issues? I thought BYD batteries were as good as they get?

BYD atto 3 that OP mentioned:

- 420km wltp range on 60 kwh battery.

Tesla model 3 rwd:

- 554km wltp with 18" wheels - on 56kwh battery.

so tesla is much more efficient while cost difference isnt that much at least in europe. (41k vs 39k)
> We work very closely with Google DeepMind to adapt Gemini models for Google-scale coding and other Software Engineering usecases.

Considering how terrible and frequently broken the code that the public facing Gemini produces, I'll have to be honest that that kind of scares me.

Gemini frequently fails at some fairly basic stuff, even in popular languages where it would have had a lot of source material to work from; where other public models (even free ones) sail through.

To give a fun, fairly recent example, here's a prime factorisation algorithm it produce for python:

# Find the prime factorization of n
prime_factors = []
while n > 1:
p = 2
while n % p == 0:
prime_factors.append(p)
n //= p
p += 1
prime_factors.append(n)

Can you spot all the problems?
This kind of complaint makes it look like you stopped at the title and didn't even bother with the abstract, which says this:

> In this work, we show that the internal representations of LLMs encode much more information about truthfulness than previously recognized. We first discover that the truthfulness information is concentrated in specific tokens, and leveraging this property significantly enhances error detection performance.

"LLMs encode information about truthfulness and leveraging how they encode it enhances error detection" is a meaningful, empirically testable statement.
How is the contrast? The HDR content? Any downsides?

I will upgrade to M4 Pro and really hate the glare when I travel (and I do that a lot) but at the same time I don't want to lose any quality that the MBP delivers which is quite excellent imho

If we are talking about the boilerplate code and autofill syntax code that copilot or any other "AI" will offer me when I start typing... Then sure. Sounds about right.

When Google announced their big layoffs, I noted the timing in relation to some big AI announcements. People here told me I was crazy for suggesting that corporations could replace employees with AI this early. Now the CEO is confirming that more than a quarter of new code is created by AI. Can’t really deny that reality anymore folks.
Aaany day now...
> isn't this announcement a terrible indictment

Of obviously flawed corporate structures. This CEO has no particular programming expertise and most of his companies profits do not seem to flow from this activity. I strongly doubt he has a grip on the actual facts here and is uncritically repeating what was told to him in a meeting.

He should, given his position, been the very _first_ person to ask the questions you've posed here.
If they worked to any acceptable level of efficacy then they could be tolerated. They're only tolerated by people who think they work as well as they claim to work (security theater) but anyone who knows about the performance impacts and/or are tech-savvy enough to understand it is a rootkit and potential exploit (that would fully pwn your device) hates them.

Some cheats are getting rather sophisticated now. There's an ever-increasing number of Pi-devices where the cheating is done externally.

Yeah, due to Chinese state subsidies and other assistance, China has a competitive advantage in automobile manufacturing as well as in many other areas. The US needs to show its commitment to free market principles and lets its auto industry die already.
There's no room for sensible discussion like this in these matters. Not demanding draconian sentences for morally outraging crimes is morally outraging.
> the kind you might as well copy&paste from stackoverflow

This bothers me. I completely understand the conversational aspect - "what approach might work for this?", "how could we reduce the crud in this function?" - it worked a lot for me last year when I tried learning C.

But the vast majority of AI use that I see is...not that. It's just glorified, very expensive search. We are willing to burn far, far more fuel than necessary because we've decided we can't be bothered with traditional search.

A lot of enterprise software is poorly cobbled together using stackoverflow gathered code as it is. It's part of the reason why MS Teams makes your laptop run so hot. We've decided that power-inefficient software is the best approach. Now we want to amplify that effect by burning more fuel to get the same answers, but from an LLM.

It's frustrating. It should be snowing where I am now, but it's not. Because we want to frivolously chase false convenience and burn gallons and gallons of fuel to do it. LLM usage is a part of that.
