The problem is the electorate is angry and impatient. The only way for wages to go up is organizing, unionizing, and to further take advantage of structural demographics compressing the working age population cohort. The only way for prices to go down is a deep recession.

Instead, they believed what someone told them (“I will make prices go down”). And when they get the obvious outcome (price levels remain where they are at, or more inflation with tariffs), they are still going to be mad. Facts and data are no anecdote for bitterness and anger, which has been decades in the making (since Ronald Reagan).
I agree. I've used FSD v13 on a Model Y with hardware version 4 for a couple of months now. Checking my mileage, that's over 2,000 miles, most of which was with FSD enabled (road trips on interstates, backroads, two-lane country roads without lane markings, interstates, highways, etc.). It's been absolutely fantastic.

Even my parents and sister use FSD v13 regularly now in their Teslas.

It's come a long way from the early days when I first started testing it.

It makes me wonder how many people are using Autopilot (included as standard) instead of FSD on a newer Tesla with the new AI hardware?

It's pretty wild to be able to start from park. Tap a button, and go.

Just the other day, it managed merging onto the interstate and then immediately changing 7 lanes to the left to merge onto the next interstate exit heading north. It performed flawlessly.

More peeking and prodding would definitely have been welcome, but it's still a useful demonstration that the issues around the card's power balancing are not theoretical, and can definitely be the culprit behind the reports.
The m5stack dial is just a screen with rotary input ring, but doesn't have haptic feedback. They actually just launched a new product the roller485 or rollerCAN that in theory is a nice off-the-shelf BLDC haptic knob, but I haven't had a chance to play with mine yet
My mom passed recently. She battled Alzheimer's for 15 years, then passed five days after breaking her hip, even though she was singing and goofing around the day of the break. She was only 77.

A month prior to this, she had begun to sometimes stay in her bed often half the day, lying awake looking up at the ceiling with the most joyous look of peace in her eyes, as if seeing something or someone very special, often whispering as if in dialogue. This went on for hours sometimes.

I was incredibly moved at the time, but there were otherwise no indicators she was near death, so I filed it away as some new development in the progression of her disease.

I now take great comfort knowing this is not uncommon among people who are soon to die, especially since she was unable to communicate the day she died.
There’s a commercial product that looks like a fancy fancy version of this and I think has a tilt sensor as well.

It’s notable not just because it is loved by some media people, both art and video, but also because it’s shown up on the pilot’s chair in several notable sci fi movies/series with an outer space theme.

I do want more smart devices with analog inputs and outputs though. I feel like Ambient Technologies were onto something but never found the market fit I hoped they would find.
Ross intelligence was creating a product that would directly compete against Thomson Reuters. Pretty clearly not fair use.
Artificially creating thought is not possible. Maybe it’s possible to link existing brains to computers, grow a brain in a lab(?), anything else will basically be some lowly form of mimicry and a far cry from actual thought. I don’t think we will be able to reproduce what nature does to be fair. Unless somehow we bridge the gap between the digital and biological world, which would be neat although extremely morbid. Somehow getting a mouse brain to solve something, attached to a computer?

This is completely out of my ass. I think that’s the best anyone can give you at this point in time.
"Stealing the whole of the entire internet" isn't a particularly accurate mental model these days.

That's more or less what people were doing back in 2023 - crawling everything and dumping as much data in as possible.

It's not a great strategy to build a best-in-class model though, as a lot of the internet is junk. The SolidGoldMagikarp/davidjl bug is the kind of thing that happens if you crawl all of https://www.reddit.com/r/counting/ for example: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Jun/8/gpt-tokenizers/#glitch-...

These days model training labs are more selective about what they train on. Most of the game of training a great model comes down to selectively training your data. They still use a lot of unlicensed data but it's a bit more sophisticated than just dumping in everything they can find.
> If only we had connectors which could actually handle such currents.

The problem isn't connectors, the problem (fundamentally) is to share electric connectivity between multiple conductors.

Sure, you can run 16A over 1.5 mm² wires, and 32A over 2.5 mm² (taken from [1], yes it's for 230V but that doesn't matter, the current is important not the voltage). And theoretically you could run 32A over 2x 1.5 mm² (you'd end up with 3 mm² cross section), but it's not allowed by code as when, for any reason, either of the two legs disconnects entirely or has increased resistance e.g. due to corrosion or a loose screw / wire nut (hence, please always use Wago style clamps - screws and wire nuts are not safe, even if torqued properly which most people don't), suddenly the other leg has to carry (much) more current than it's designed for and you risk anything from molten connectors to an outright fire. And that is what NVidia currently is running into, together with bad connections (e.g. due to dirt ingress).

The correct solution would be for the GPU to not tie together the incoming individual 12VHPWR pins on a single plane right at the connector input but to use MOSFETs and current/voltage sense to detect stuff like different current availability (at least it used to be the case with older GPUs that there were multiple ways to supply them with power and only, say, one of two connectors on the GPU being used) or overcurrents due to something going bad. But that adds complexity and, at least for the overcurrent protection, yet another microcontroller plus one ADC for each incoming power pin.

Alternatively each 12VHPWR pair could get its own (!) DC-DC converter down to 1V2 or whatever the GPU chip actually needs, but again that also needs a bunch of associated circuitry.

Another and even more annoying issue by the way is grounding - because all the electricity that comes in also wants to go back to the PSU and it can take any number of paths - the PCIe connector, the metal backplate, the 12VHPWR extra connector, via the shield of a DP cable that goes to a Thunderbolt adapter card's video input to that card, via the SLI connector to the other GPU and its ground...

Electricity is fun!

I think you can implement self driving without general AI, but it has to be really defensive, err on the cautious side, and that means it can't travel faster that 10 to 25 kph, like a bicycle basically. That car will have a "safe zone" around it, monitored with radar and/or lidar, and if anything enters just outside that "safe zone", the car stops before hitting anything.

The market for such cars would be very limited IMO.
The cat is dead now, but not before I was squeezed for a few grand by excessive regulation. At the time, I was wishing there was an underground option for blood testing. You don't need a 300k degree to stick a needle in a cat or read a PDF to me.

Kinda like how a barber in my state need a 20k license and 1000 hours of training, but on steroids. At least at home haircuts aren't illegal (yet).
LOL, Steve. This is painfully accurate.

I couldn't find any information regarding power consumption in the article. I'd love to upgrade my aging gaming rig, but all modern AMD/Nvidia graphics cards consume significantly more power than my current card.
I do get your point, and generally think it makes sense, but in this case it seems extremely relevant: There is a global competition for intellectual capital, and at the moment, the US' position here seems at the very least uncertain, given all that is happening.

Then they should have made up a new number that proves that point rather than making up a new number that seems to imply the opposite.

There is a relevant official statistic: the poverty statistic.

Rust is easier to learn than C. Specifically, the things that are hard to learn in Rust are things that C will stab you in the back on.

The biggest problem with C is having to manually track memory ownership and usage - i.e. who can call free() or dereference pointers without crashing the whole program. Rust automates that away, in a way that introduces no runtime performance overhead.

The problem with "C kernel wizards" is that the things they're good at solving are not part of the essential complexity of writing an operating system kernel. A lot of it is chasing use-after-frees or dangling pointers. Tedious manual work that absolutely can be automated away, but isn't, because forty years of C being The Only Systems Language You'd Dare Fit In A Kernel has made people just assume all its hidden complexity is essential.
A lot of people did a lot of things for a lot of money during the pandemic. Even voluntary fire fighters do it for status, fun, companionship, extra money, experience, etc. Doesn't mean that volunteers aren't valued or important. It's important to note that there's limits to people's charity even among the most charitable. Those limits are driven by perceived costs outweighing the perceived benefits to the individual.
Goes back to the Reagan era. They needed to hide the data in order to hide the fact their policies were decimating America's manufacturing base. That's when America transitioned to a so-called "service economy." We've been getting poorer ever since.
If the root CA is in a place that is inaccessible then there are no CRLs to check against for example. Root CA may exist outside of the airgapped env. Especially if the root CA is one that produces self signed certs. You are back to insecure TLS
> Mackie MR5

Don't want to sound snarky, but these are only "decent" (the succeeding MRx24 add an actually designed waveguide) and you'll never hear the sound of a DAC unless it's very badly implemented or has SNR troubles that show with ultra sensitive IEMs.

Anyone who has read enough of the research in the matter will tell you that the codec itself is an improbable culprit. The way it's encoded and the test setup usually are "at fault" in this situation.
I've had a 2017 Model X since new that came with FSD. I had Tesla upgrade the FSD computer (for free), and drove like a granny during the FSD trial period when you needed to have a certain "score" (which was mostly dictated by not cornering or braking hard) to be eligable for FSD.

I try it every major release, and am disappointed every time. In situations where I'd be confident, it is overly cautious. In situations where I'd be cautious, its overly confident and dangerous.

I think its best use is to keep the car in the lane while I'm distracted by something (pulling out a sandwich to eat, etc). And it seems like newer Teslas have eye tracking, so it might not even be useful for that.
This is super cool (i do a LOT of react native after years of doing native development) -- one thing I'd love: Adding easy upgrades, right now if I leave a RN app for a while getting it to compile on latest iOS/Android again requires a lot of manual labor and reviewing rn-diff-purge. Good luck on the project!

That's like saying a panda might pose a threat to modern humanity. Like, maybe in some fun horror story, sure, but really they just want to eat bamboo, and occasionally make more pandas; in the world of superintelligent AI, humans are Mostly Harmless, posing as much "potential benefit" as "potential risk," ie, so slow moving that any risk would be easy to mitigate.
Two pages is too few to effectively summarize some of the books in this genre.

But two pages is far more than most of these books would deserve.
That "don't hit anything under any circumstances" is incompatible with USA-typical "stand our ground" and "right of way" philosophy of doing things.
This is the most informative assessment in this thread.

You'd expect to see the capacity to be 125% as is common in other electrical systems.

Ratings for connectors and conductors comes with a temperature spec as well, indicating the intended operating temperature at a load. I'm sure, with this spec being near the limit of the components already, that the operating temperatures near full load are not far from the limit, either.

Couple that with materials that may not have even met that spec from the manufacturer and this is what you get. Cheaper ABS plastic on the molex instead of Nylon, PVC insulation on the wire instead of silicone, and you just know the amount of metal in the pins is the bare minimum, too.
> We know what it is good at and what it's not.

We know what it's good at today. And pretty sure it won't be any worse at it in the future. And 5 years ago state of the art was basically output of Markov Chain. In 5 years we might be at another place entirely.
The irony is that Joel’s “FogBugz” product eventually got rewritten many years later.

In the context of boring/stable, Starcraft 1 is a particularly interesting example. Most live-service competitive games rely on regular balance patches to "keep the meta from going stale", which has some parallels to the shiny-affinity of modern tech stacks. Starcraft 1 on the other hand have not had any changes to the balance in 20 years, yet the meta is still constantly evolving because it is emergent on player skill development instead of prescribed by hamfisted developer oversight.

I think a good analogy here is retro digital cameras. I have a Fuji X-T30, which is about five years old now. Still a decent camera and it has a lot of physical controls. Except they are not really physical controls. They are buttons and dials that are re-programmable. Even the aperture ring on my lens is not physically connected to anything. The aperture is controlled digitally. The aperture ring just gives off a signal to the camera that is than hooked up to the aperture. Some lenses even have re-programmable buttons now. Some cheaper lenses don't have dedicated controls like that. But you can still hook up one of the other dials on the body to do the same. There are wheel-button thingies on the front and the back that you can bind to whatever.

Cars basically could use controls like that. Maybe with some sensible defaults; and there's going to be a bunch of things that most people would like to control with a button or a dial. Not that hard to execute and you can sell cars with more and less dials. Or no dials at all. The touch screen is always the cheap fallback. The buttons are a nice up-sell. And with the right APIs and wireless protocols, it wouldn't even be too hard to have third party bluetooth buttons even; or a strip of buttons that plugs in a USB socket. Or similar. You can buy flight simulator hardware that emulate most of a modern cockpit with physical buttons. Most of these things are USB devices. Some of these things are pretty affordable even. Throttle compartments, landing gear buttons, buttons with a satisfying click/thunk/etc. Whatever you want.

Like it or not, this stuff is basically cost related. Buttons have lots of wires, components, etc. That increases cost of assembly and bill of materials. They can also break and cause additional cost under warranty. People need training on how to install and repair that stuff. The nice thing with a touch screen is that it's just a handful of components and wires. Installs in no time and if it breaks, it's easy to replace.

So, the question for manufacturers then becomes what is the car with the least buttons that drivers still pay a premium for? Because, that's the most profitable for them. And the reality of course is that what people say what they'll buy mostly doesn't match their behavior in the show room.

It's the same with a lot of products. It doesn't matter whether people are buying a TV, a phone, a new laptop or whatever. Some people really know what they are buying, but most don't, and some only think they know and talk themselves into buying crap they definitely are not going to be happy with.

In the end, people mostly just select the thing with the largest feature matrix that still fits their budget. And the nice thing with software features is that there's no assembly or component cost involved. Modern cars are smart phones with wheels. Literally made by smart phone manufacturers like Huawei and Xiaomi even (both sell lots of cars in China).

Let me put it this way: I wouldn't choose to leave my fingerprints at a crime scene assuming legal firewalls would prevent me from getting caught that way.

Honestly show junior programmers a little more respect. It's such an old person thing to say they're going to all become prompt engineers or similar. Why does the old always look at the young and claim they're all pulled by the tides of the zeitgeist and not thinking human beings who have their own opinions about stuff. Many smart people have a contrarian streak and won't just dive into AI tools wholesale. Honestly a lot of the comments here are at the level of critique as those facebook memes of crowd of people with iphones for faces.

Most people have ALWAYS taken the easy road and don't become the best programmers. AI is just the latest tool for lazier people or people who tend towards laziness. We will continue to have new good programmers, and the number of good programmers will continue to be not enough. None of that is not caused by AI. I'm far from an AI advocate, but it will, someday, make the most boring parts of programming less tedious and be able to put "glue" kind of code in non-professional hands.

I wish education wasn't so split between "academic" and "vocational" (for lack of better terms).

In high school for my A levels I was able to take both Maths, Physics and Politics (with an academic focus) and Metalworking and Photography (with a more practical hands-on focus). I loved this, and feel like this was incredibly useful to me later in life.

But for some reason beyond school level you are mostly forced to choose between academics and hands-on work (at least in the UK). With the hands-on pathways being looked down on by much of society.

I did not search for such polls, thanks for that. If it is true, what I still find hard to believe is that there is a link between yelling 'I fix it' and the effect on the economy. Economic history teaches that starting a trade war on terms of 'they are treating us badly' or not, has consequences that are bad for the economy. One of the Bushes has tried the same thing and had to roll it back because the heavy backfiring. Yelling 'I will stop this and that war using my charms' doesn't appear to have successful precedent either.
