Eh I mean it’s not that bad - this article is super short on details too, I need a unit-by-unit comparison describing an overall approach to the art style that changed between the original release and this one. This post is a glorified xitter rant basically. If I want three whiney paragraphs on a subject I’ll ask ChatGPT about it.
It's a way to mislead people into misunderstanding reality and therefore solving the wrong problems, often causing harm, now and in the future.

That's why serious analysis requires a factual basis, such as science, law, and good engineering and management. You need analytics data to figure out where the performance and organizational bottlenecks are.

Before people tried to understand illness with a factual basis, they wrote speculative essays on leeching and finding 'better' ways to do it.

Skip to around 0:36 in the launch trailer, they swap from the classic to the new graphics on the same scene.
Is the main idea to convert the model implementation from Python into C, then hardcode all possible values? Do you do this yourself in the generator code, or could you let the C preprocessor/compiler handle something like this by using macros? (might help with compile time/memory)

"NOTE: Ensure the device you are running on has no form of hardware acceleration like GPU or the results will be skewed"

How much does adding GPUs affect your performance improvement gains? I understand that the point of this optimization is for CPU-only machines, but it would be interesting to consider the affect your optimizations have when running on GPUs as well.
Thanks, I wasn’t able to view the trailer on safari mobile in private mode (asks to sign it but I don’t have an account). But it worked fine on youtube - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_iWMpW_C7Z0 if anyone else needs a link.
As a former chip designer (been 16 years, but looks like tools and our arguments about them haven't changed much), I'm both more and less optimistic than OP:

1. More because fine-tuning with enough good Verilog as data should let the LLMs do better at avoiding mediocre Verilog (existing chip companies have more of this data already though). Plus non-LLM tools will remain, so you can chain those tools to test that the LLM hasn't produced Verilog that synthesizes to a large area, etc

2. Less because when creating more chips for more markets (if that's the interpretation of YC's RFS), the limiting factor will become the cost of using a fab (mask sets cost millions), and then integrating onto a board/system the customer will actually use. A half-solution would be if FPGAs embedded in CPUs/GPUs/SiPs on our existing devices took off
I’m a little amused at folks tuning in for meme / low quality personalities doing things … and getting the equivalent production values.

Regulations are written in blood.. it’s really disappointing to see a car make it to production without an obvious mechanical way to open the door. I’ve been in many teslas and hadn’t given this much thought, figuring there’d surely be a way to open the door if I need to get out.

why are the doors electronically controlled to start with? is it cost savings?
I think the bigger question, since it apparently involves reported bullying incidents rather than teacher-observed ones, is whether the change in policy results in underreporting or overreporting of bullying. Plausibly it could be a lot more than a 13% fall if kids feel much more incentivised to report it, or a negligible effect if there's a 13% chance of it not being reported because bullied kids don't want to get their bystander classmates into trouble...

hmm. I don't see why not optimize closing costs. I have done so on 4-5 mortgages myself. When sourcing your lending options, if you are a good borrower at least, you will have multiple options. I always asked for a full closing cost estimate and compared. Usually saved $2000-5000 through a combination of:

- effectively shopping around items like title insurance, appraisals, etc by pointing out differences b/c competing vendors
- identifying BS items that are not even on all offers, and simply having them removed. people like to add bogus fee lines.

For sure doing this as lead-gen is great. Agree that there is a huge risk of uploading personal info -- in the future local AI's will be able to do this. In the short term, they should partner with a known brand to give credibility.
I mean yeah, but that’s a trailer, it’s just marketing. I want the author to actually put some time into exploring and explaining to the audience, if they think they’ve got a point to make. This could just have been a headline and a link to the trailer.

All these are hardcoded to serve centralized content from bluesky's backend indexer right? if bluesky the company goes down, there's nothing to see right?

If so, I think AT protocol needs to figure out how to make community hosted infrastructure easy, affordable, *and popular* before doing anything else, because it seems like it's just growing to serve Bluesky's app, and that's a flawed perspective of development for something like a general use decentralized social protocol.

I just feel like if bitcoin people weren't the norm on nostr, there wouldnt' be much of a case for bluesky. nostr pretty much opens up possibilities and is living currently in a proven and actively scaling decentralized ecosystem.

> brightened up with an MS paint tool meant to emulate crayons made of the sun

I’m old, but if you want to describe the graphics of the original Warcraft 1 & 2 that is a pretty fitting description.

It does seem a little disingenuous to not include any comparison images in the article. From the looks of it I’d say it’s pretty close to the original. Warcraft didn’t really get its modern distinguishing style before Warcraft 3. I’d be more curious about whether or not they kept the maximum unit selection at 4… which at least was 3 more than in dune 2, but probably not a great fit for 2024.

I think just like traditional engineers have to learn physics, computer people should learn these fundamentals for exactly the reason you outline.

Then, when you hit the job market, you learn the ecosystem of what other engineers have built and you work in that context.

In this way, you can eventually reach extreme productivity. Just look at humanity's GDP over the last 200 years.

We're a foraging resource where people can put locations of fruit trees and other opportunities for urban harvest. We're building a React app to replace the current server side rendered website and mobile app, it's in a really good place now and quite close to feature parity but there are still small layout issues and missing features, plus everything else we could potentially do. There's also a NodeJS API that could be worked on.

It is more cyber that way.
Also, yes, electromechanical systems are easier to design.
In some places it looks almost as though they've taken the old tiles and fed them individually through some neural upscale/img2img diffusion.

The rocky coast[0] seems to change style slightly from tile-to-tile without much regard for how they fit together. The wall[1] has random artifacts, and equal trouble with tiling properly.

I think you could potentially avoid the tiling problem if you feed in a valid arrangements of tiles rather than each tile individually, and switch around the arrangement each diffusion step.

Based on the virtualization framework documentation, this seems very intentional.

My guess is that they do this because their development processes only assure that the macOS version shipped with the hardware works on that hardware. And the virtualization layer is really thin.

They see no reason to spend the extra QA time, but rather have everyone upgrade to the latest macOS version their hw support.
Especially egregious considering it's likely kids will be back there. And the release is in a place thats probably impossible to get to from the front seat (in the model Y)
> Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed. These emergency measures require intimate knowledge of the car, something that may not be feasible in a panic situation.

First, how is this remotely legal? Are there not safety standards to ensure adults can easily exit a vehicle on fire?

Second, regardless of regulations, what on earth were they thinking at Tesla? Cars catch on fire and need fast emergency exit. Do they not care that their passengers might die?

I am absolutely horrified by this. Those poor passengers.
There are g-shocks with bracelets. I have a model with a plastic one.
I think that would be exploited by bad actors- they could e.g. figure out what time of day mods are inactive to best circumvent rules, and know when things were removed in order to re-add them immediately.

I was hoping they'd do a complete remake of 1 & 2 in the WC3 engine. Modernize the gameplay and have them run with what is now the canonical storyline. Realistically I knew it wasn't going to happen and I'm perfectly fine with how they simply redid the assets to be more than 8x8px each
There are more types of non-dairy milks. I still just can't believe that anyone with a severe milk allergy is going to scarf down "sweet cream butter" and then end up in the hospital and say "If only the label said 'contains milk', I wouldn't be here!"
Thanks for the reply!

At large companies with many designers, a lot of time is spent coordinating and planning. LLMs can already help with that.

As far as design/copilot goes, I think there are reasons to be much more optimistic. Existing models haven't seen much Verilog. With better training data it's reasonable to expect that they will improve to perform at least as well on Verilog as they do on python. But even if there is a 10% chance it's reasonable for VCs to invest in these companies.
Every Uber I take in a Tesla would practically need an airline safety briefing for this. There’s no way I’d find it on my own.

They use frameless windows, so the electronic release slightly lowers them to avoid them scraping the door frame.

Unclear why. But it is not uncommon for Microsoft to leave 'holes' in their offering soo that the partner network can fill them. Over 90% of Microsoft's revenue is partner-delivered. This often sparks great innovation outside of Microsoft walls.

Agreed. If the Yggdrasil Android and iOS apps supported zero-touch MDM configuration like Tailscale, I'd try it out but my guess is the performance still wouldn't match WireGuard.

Agreed, which is why unless I am told to work on such matters, usually always wait for dust to settle, saving me from not bothering at all, as you mention.
A lot of cars have electronically controlled doors.

It’s due to the frameless windows. Opening the door requires the windows to roll down slightly to avoid damage to the outer trim.

The doors still have a mechanical release so there’s no cost savings involved. For the front door they’re right next to the electronic release. For the rear doors they’re hidden under the passenger door pocket.

Edit: to everyone replying I never said it was a necessity. I explained why they did it. I’m aware of alternate approaches.
They increased the unit selection limit to 12.

I really wanted to like SICP but Lisp throws me off. I love Haskell and Standard ML however! Did others have a similar experience? Might be interesting to read a book similar in spirit to SICP but using a different language as a vehicle (No, I don't want to do SICP in JavaScript).
Science Is in Trouble [video]
I appreciate this.

Most software devs are used to working 1-dimensional collections like lists, or tree-like abstractions like dicts, or some combination of those. This is why most abstractions and complex data types are built on these. Objects are a natural progression.

But in the data world, high-dimensions are modeled using dataframes (analogously, tables). This is a paradigm shift for most pure software people because manipulating tables typically require manipulating sets and relations. Joining two tables requires knowing how the join-columns relate (inner, full outer, left, right, cross). Aggregation and window functions require thinking in terms of sub-groupings and subsets.

It's not super intuitive unless you have to manipulate and reshape large amounts of data every day, which data scientists and data engineers have to do, and which software engineers typically don't do very often. It's just a kind of muscle memory that gets developed.

I definitely had trouble at first getting software engineers to buy into DuckDB because they were unfamiliar and uncomfortable with SQL. Fortunately some of them had a growth mindset and were willing to learn, and those folks now have now acquired a very powerful tool (DuckDB) and a new way of thinking about large-data manipulation. When data is a certain size, iterative constructs like "for" loops become impractical.
I’m sure there are plenty of civilizations that have done this, but on the time scale of the universe no one happens to look at just the right moment.

I kinda suspect that things that are expressed better with symbols and connections than with text will always be a poor fit to large LANGUAGE models. Turning what is basically a graph into a linear steam of text descriptions to tokenize and jam into an LLM has to be an incredibly inefficient and not very performant way of letting “AI” do magic on your circuits.

Ever try to get ChatGPT to play scrabble? Ever try to describe the board to it and then all the letters available to you? Even its fancy pants o1 preview performs absolutely horrible. Either my prompting completely sucks or an LLM is just the wrong tool for the job.

It’s great for asking you to score something you just created provided you tell it what bonuses apply to which words and letters. But it has absolutely no concept of the board at all. You cannot use to optimize your next move based on the board and the letters.

… I mean you might if you were extremely verbose about every letter on the board and every available place to put your tiles, perhaps avoiding coordinates and instead describing each word, its neighbors and relationships to bonus squares. But that just highlights how bad a tool an LLM is for scrabble.

Anyway, I’m sure schematics are very similar. Maybe somebody we will invent good machine learning models for such things but an LLM isn’t it.
I recall that when MIT stopped teaching with SICP, one of the main claims was that programming now is often not about thinking abstractions through from first principles, and creating some isolated gem of composing definitions.

Which is a category mistake that they actually address in the lectures. SICP is not a programming course, it’s a computer science course. Computer science is not about computers, let alone programming, just as geometry is not about surveying instruments and astronomy is not about telescopes.

When they stopped teaching SICP — in response to the pressure to teach more modern tools — they abandoned their scientific principles to satisfy commercial concerns. They stopped teaching computer science and became a vocational school for the tech industry.
