That doesn't work for idioms, certainly in Italian, which has multiple colorful metaphors which would be mystifying if translated directly.

Taking the whole software/communication/hardware complexity into account, imagine, how many bugs and vulnerabilities may be present in such non-open-source systems? Based on the recent history where we know even 0-day phone exploits exist, how dangerous would it be if a vehicle (or most of them simultaneously) can become being controlled remotely?
It's remarkable how the 81 year old guy was "too old" after a moment of incoherency, so the election went to the 77 year old guy who's been incoherent for years. Double standards, eh.

Side quip, the H in STEM stands for history.

If you look at the schooling of the ruling class, history is one of the most important subjects. And I am not talking about pilgrims and the Louisiana purchase. If you want to understand where you are, how you got there and where things are going there is no better way than to learn from the people before you.

One way to pique your interest is to listen to podcasts and lectures.

Thank you, I get it now. The reason why I focused on that specific example, is because it is used in the blog post as proof that DKIM is being actively used to prove that someone actually sent an email.
This is probably optimistic - they're a meme, kids don't need to see reporting about new school shootings to get the idea that shooting up your school is the way to go, it's something communities are quite naturally propagating amongst themselves - but it seems super clear that they wouldn't have become a meme in the first place without repeated breathless scandalising reporting.
What a sensationalist headline. The car slowly drives around in circles on a parking lot and the passenger apparently does not feel in danger (being on the phone with CS and taking videos for social media).

That doesn't seem to gel with the fact that they lost $5 billion overall last year, mostly before the $200 tier was even available.
Actually I disagree, see previous comment re: the Fridman/zuch interview.

The genuinely cool thing about that though... They aren't sending the video.

Instead, they convert both people's faces into skeletal meshes and only send the transform data over the wire, recreating the other person at the other end as a 3D model that is being animated using the transmitted animation data.

The bandwidth requirements are reduced by like... 100x
Proper subtitles are obviously better, but it's impossible to do on everything. The tech is going to get better, and is already a game changer for hearing impaired people. Subtitles that are mostly correct are much better than none at all.

VLC has the option to find subtitles. If you use plex or jellyfin there are add-ons or bazarr, which does it automatically

Intel's CES 2025 Keynote – By George Cozma
These cars need an emergency stop button which brings the car to a halt as fast as could plausibly be safe and then opens the doors. This is standard equipment on all industrial machinery and used to be standard equipment on all trains as well; I got into a lot of trouble once for pulling the emergency stop cord on a train when I was young. The inconvenience and occasional danger of unwarranted emergency stops is almost certain to be outweighed by the lives saved in the rarer cases where the E-stop is necessary.
Maybe the US needs a bug bounty for the conjecture raised by Gödel's supposed loophole.
My NUC11 with 8 GB of DDR4 and Ethernet idles at 3-4W when I tell it to not power any status LEDs. Can be power-limited in BIOS so that it runs off of a USB-C power adapter with a fixed 19V negotiation cable.

But it is not low-end for sure. I'm kind of wasting the computer on this use case. It's just what I had after Pi 1B turned out not being enough.
I wonder if opening the door a bit would force the car to stop?
Techcrunch didn't omit the lawsuit information which alleges Nvidia farmed YouTube to train this, I found this more useful than pure marketing spin on nvidia.com.
This is really great, thank you for doing this.

Tangentially, while browsing through your blog I found this: https://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/machined-pen/the_plan.jp...

This illustrates beautifully an idea that's been rattling around in my head for a while: what if the process you went through to design this manufacturing plan was the user facing cad api? When I approach a "making" problem--whether it's carpentry, plumbing, metal fabrication, machining--I naturally think about it in much the same way you did here. What raw materials am I starting with? What tools do I have? What sequence of operations do I need to perform to achieve the desired end result? The "cad api" (literally an api in the case of code cad tools or the visual representation thereof in traditional mouse driven interfaces) does not work this way, and forces me to think about how to represent the finished shape not about how I'll actually make it. All I care about in the end is making a thing, the modeling is just a tool to assist in that process but it makes itself way too visible.

Naively it seems like there would be so many benefits to having a more "reality based" modeling workflow. As someone who clearly has a lot more experience in the cad space than I do, do you think this concept could go anywhere or is it a dead end?

EDIT: also, a bit of feedback on the pen: you can maintain concentricity if you do something like this:

1. grab the bar stock in a 3 jaw chuck and turn it to a dimension suitable for a collet

2. cut off three blanks from the dimensioned rod, one for your cap and two for the body

3. do the rest of the work using a collet for work holding

The tradeoff is you'll waste a bit this way if you want a different final dimension than you have for your collet.
Unfortunately the term "open-source" AI alone is meaningless without knowing the users definition of open-source. More often than not it just means "openly available". In this case for example they could be using Whisper, which is openly available, but from OpenAI and still has all the caveats around used data, resource usage for training etc.

„How a democracy was hacked“ is not something that should be on Hacker News?
If you want recent examples, you have Euromaidan (popular revolution which succeeded once the government lost sympathy for shooting people in the street) versus South Korea, where public belief in the system was strong enough to force the failure of a palace coup that might have been legal on paper (the provisions for suspending the constitution of Korea).
This is the line for me, if Im asked to strap something to my face to attend a meeting i’m out.
Not parent, I'm mostly looking at small thinkcentres for that price. The last one I looked at was about $60 for a unit that needs a power supply (about $20) and a couple drives. I haven't figured out a specific model I want yet.
There is the art of subtitling, and then there is the technical reality that sometimes you have some content with no subtitles and just want a solution now, but the content didn't come with an SRT or better yet VTT and OpenSubtitles has no match.

They're using Whisper for speech to text, and some other small model for basic translation where necessary. It will not do speaker identification (diarization), and certainly isn't going to probe into narrative plot points to figure out if naming a character is a reveal. It isn't going to place text on the screen according to the speaker's frame place, nor for least intrusion. It's just going to have a fixed area where a best effort at speech to text is performed, as a last resort where the alternative is nothing.

Obviously it would be preferred to have carefully crafted subtitles from the content creator, translating if the desired language isn't available but still using all the cues and positions. Secondly to have some carefully crafted community subtitles from opensubtitles or the like, maybe where someone used "AI" and then hand positioned/corrected/updated. Failing all that, you fall to this.

Are you trying to have a product made? Or are you really just interested in the manufacturing process itself?

It depends on the product, obviously. For many things you have domestic manufacturing options, but people either overlook them or immediately seek out the cheapest alternative (often China). There are small contract manufacturers all over the United States.

Doing your own manufacturing of electronic goods is a common trap for people with just enough experience to know that it’s possible. Nearly everyone who has done it will recommend against it. You have to choose if you want to be in the business of making and selling a product, or in the business of setting up and operating a lot of difficult manufacturing machines and processes. People who try to do both at the same time usually get overwhelmed, delayed, and burned out.

Good enough for what? I've been playing around with local models that often get mentioned here (llama3.3, mistral, etc.) and they routinely provide incorrect code that does not even compile or implements algorithms that have nothing to do with the task at hand, generate invalid JSON like '{ "foo": bar - 42 }', write nonsensical statements like "CR1616 has double the capacity of CR2032", etc. I'm yet to find a useful application for them that they can actually solve at least somewhat reliably.
We don't yet know if there's actually any gold in the mine or not this time around, but we know for certain that there is money to be made selling pickaxes to the miners.
yeah the "distance between frames" latency is just one overhead, everything adds up until you get real latency. 10ms for your wireless mouse then 3ms for your I/O hardware then 5ms for the game engine to process your input then 20ms for the graphics pipeline and so on and on.

30 FPS is 33.33333 MS
60 FPS is 16.66666 MS
90 FPS is 11.11111 MS
120 FPS is 8.333333 MS
140 FPS is 7.142857 MS
144 FPS is 6.944444 MS
180 FPS is 5.555555 MS
240 FPS is 4.166666 MS

Going from 30fps to 120fps is 25ms which is totally 100% noticeable even for layman (I actually tested this with my girlfriend, she could tell between 60fps and 120fps as well), but these generated frames from DLSS don't help with this latency _at all_.

Although the nVidia Reflex technology can help with this kind of latency in some situations in some non quantifiable ways.

This kind of proves internet points are very meaningless, when #26 by internet points still flags a post that is essentially about history because it hurts his contemporary fragile political sensibilities.

Huh? Their position in the market is much better than that of OpenAI and Co. Selling hardware and services is sure business. Training models is by contrast a risky business, and even if you attain SOTA, you cannot relax because your competitors will be on your tail. From a purely pragmatic perspective they also do not have the manpower to compete seriously in that space.

I'm not a big fan of the price graph in the article.

Are TVs really 90% cheaper since 2020 than they were in 2000? The product seems to me to be one of those that always costs the same, you just get more for a similar amount of money as time progresses (like laptops).

What does it mean for the average hourly wage line to show a 100% increase? Like it shows clothing to be a constant cost. But that's before a 100% increase in hourly wages, so has effective clothing cost halved? And food and beverage tracks the wage increase, so is it the same effective cost?

And you get artefacts like the 90% drop in TV price looking to be the same scale as an 80% increase in food and beverage cost. I can buy 10 times as many TVs, but half as much food.

Why is is More expensive vs more affordable? Seems odd to mix terms of affordable and expense when the graph isn't corrected for earnings.

I suppose it may work for some.
DeppL's business model is exactly this. The words translated per day increases a lot the past few years, because of it. You let DeepL translate the text, and real Translators use it as a starting point.

DeepL is already pretty good, but it still needs a proper translator for the optimal output. That translator just saves a lot of time not having to translate every word.
It's not required. But it could make their product easier to use and more usable for their users. But that's clearly not something the core team values or is passionate about and I appreciate that they have other priorities.

It's common with many OSS projects. There are a few positive exceptions. But this stuff is hard.
AI slashes cost and time for chip design, but that is not all
I have given up on AI folks using a scientific definition of “world model,” yet I am still amazed at how viciously dishonest NVIDIA is being here:

“Cosmos learns just like people learn,” the spokesperson said. “To help Cosmos learn, we gathered data from a variety of public and private sources and are confident our use of data is consistent with both the letter and spirit of the law. Facts about how the world works — which are what the Cosmos models learn — are not copyrightable or subject to the control of any individual author or company.”

Cosmos definitely does not learn facts about how the world works! This is just a ridiculous lie. It accumulates a bunch of data hopefully demonstrating how the world works, and hopefully some facts fall out of it. Given that this failed completely for Sora, which obviously knows nothing about physics, I am confident that Cosmos also knows nothing. It has no facts, just data. And unless they somehow integrated touch sensors it doesn’t even get physical data the same way toddlers do. So “learns just like people learn” is also a lie.

Some AI hype is people getting ahead of themselves and believing their own marketing. But here NVIDIA is just lying their asses off, presumably to stoke investor hype, but also because they’re trying to monetize a bunch of copyrighted data they stole. These are bad people.
I really want one of those machines, but I will be shocked if they are even "well supported," let alone "best supported."
>It seems weird there isn't a physical stop button inside the car.

Think it through once more.

For the down voters: It would be extremely dangerous if somebody pressed such a button when the car is going down the highway. The real world is not a video game where you can just abort or pause at any time. If you try, you will die.

Sure, but the fact is that there was never any solid evidence showing that Trump did collude with Putin to hack the election. That's contrary to what many high level politicians were claiming, the fact is that they falsely claimed there was "ample evidence" proving Trump colluded, and they never produced it. That's what was never fact checked, because it is inconvenient, and it would show that many high level people who insisted on there being "ample evidence" to prove collusion were actually being dishonest about it.

> Capabilities ... They're not really compatible with C's flat memory model ... Capabilities mean having multiple types of memory

C is not really dependent on a flat memory model - instead, it models memory allocations as separate "objects" (quite reniniscent of "object orientation in hardware" which is yet another name for capabilities), and a pointer to "object" A cannot be offset to point into some distinct "object" B.
