How do you shop for groceries every two weeks?

Doesn’t bread go stale, milk go sour, chicken/beef/pork/eggs go spoiled, and fruits and veggies go moldy in two weeks? Where I live nobody enjoys yesterdays bread and we don’t cook meat or chicken if it’s been in the fridge for more than about five days.

Please explain how you’re able to do this, I would love not to have to shop for groceries every one or two days.
Was wondering if this would ever happen. I wrote an MCP server that hooked up Azure Monitor (or whatever the hell microsoft is calling it) via Microsoft's python SDK so I could get it to query our logs without using command line tools. Took about half a day, mostly due to writing against the wrong Microsoft SDK. It will be nice to let ChatGPT have a crack a this too!
Robotaxis might also make the human piloted accident rate go down, if enough inebriated people take AVs instead of driving.
83 vs 84 percent doesn't seem too difficult to present as "essentially the same". I also don't think this matters much—the result is impressive regardless of alleged rate of change.
Correctly estimating capability is pretty safety positive.

Meaning, humans choosing to drive in more difficult conditions probably means they sometimes drive in conditions that they shouldn't.
Reproducible: If Alice and Bob both download and compile the same source code, Alice's binary is byte-for-byte identical to Bob's binary.

Normal: Before Debian's initiative to handle this problem, most people didn't think hard about all the ways system-specific differences might wind up in binaries. For example: __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros in C, parallel builds finishing in different order, anything that produces a tar file (or zip etc.) usually by default asks the OS for the input files' modification time and puts that into the bytes of the tar file, filesystems may list files in a directory in different order and this may also get preserved in tar/zip files or other places...

Why it's important: With reproducible builds, anyone can check the official binaries of Debian match the source code. This means going forward, any bad actors who want to sneak backdoors or other malware into Debian will have to find a way to put it in the source code, where it will be easier for people to spot.
It took them a long time to deploy there and required extensive (human) preparatory work. I'm guessing that their algorithm was fine-tuned for SF specifically, possibly being taught to avoid certain roads and areas where possible, thus behaving like a veteran local driver. Not clear how well that scales globally, or if it would still drive much better than an average human in a random new environment that it hasn't been pre-trained for.

> The issue with self-driving is (1) how it generalises across novel environments

That's also an issue with humans though. I'd argue that traffic usually appears to flow because most of the drivers have taken a specific route daily for ages - i.e., they are not in a novel environment.

When someone drives a route for the first time, they'll be confused, do last-minute lane changes, slow down to try to make a turn, slow down more than others because because they're not 100% clear where they're supposed to go, might line up for and almost do illegal turns, might try to park in impossible places, etc.

Even when someone has driven a route a handful of times they won't know and be ready for the problem spots and where people might surprise they, they'll just know the overall direction.

(And when it is finally carved in their bones to the point where they're placing themselves perfectly in traffic according to the traffic flow and anticipating all the usual choke points and hazards, they'll get lenient.)
Blasting Past WebP
What‘s the advice? Only develop in a sandbox environment? Otherwise chances are our main machines get compromised?
Generalizing across novel environments is optimal, but I'm not sure the bar needs to be that high to unlock a huge amount of value.

We're probably well past the point where removing all human-driven vehicles (besides bikes) from city streets and replacing them with self-driving vehicles would be a net benefit for safety, congestion, vehicle utilization, road space, and hours saved commuting, such that we could probably rip up a bunch of streets and turn them into parks or housing and still have everyone get to their destinations faster and safer.

The future's here, even if it still has room for improvement.

Gemini has already replaced Assistant for Pixel users and on modern Nest devices. In the current Android Auto beta, it's also replaced it there, too.

The thing that confuses me, though, is the fact that they use the Gemini branding for both the dev-oriented products you can license via Google Cloud, as well as the consumer facing AI interfaces, and then also for the ties into Workspace products. ... but then there are standalone AI products (or is a feature?) like Notebook LM that aren't associated with Gemini.
Yeah fwiw, as a European urbanite, when I was younger and single, I'd pay zero mind to having more than what I immediately needed for my next meal. If I needed anything, I'd slip into my shoes and walk to the store (which was 5 minutes away) and buy the thing. I'd regularly drop by the grocery store twice or even three times in a day. Though now I'm older and not living alone, I walk 15 minutes to buy 1-2 days worth of food instead.

It's really not justifiable to have in-actionable error messages for things like fraud prevention. You don't necessarily need to say exactly why it was triggered or even that it was fraud detection, but at least give me steps to get my issue resolved. If I need to contact support, say so. If I'm locked out for 10 minutes, tell me so I don't waste my time. If I need to change settings, tell me what to do.

Getting told to "try again later" every day you try to send money through a payment app is not a useful error. (I'm not entirely sure if it's fraud protection, but I also have no idea why I couldn't send money because it won't give me any resolution steps).

People familiar with fraud protection or security may assume that the error message is related to fraud protection or security, but actual users are just going to be frustrated.

Huh? All the Waymo cars in Austin have lots of LIDAR spinny bits and are driving around all the active construction zones downtown and near campus.

Yeah, humans would crash less too if they had a Lidar that stopped the car if a crash appeared imminent.
One measure of robustness could be something like: the ability to resist correlation of failure states under environmental/internal shift. Danger: that under relevant time horizons the integral of injury-to-things-we-care-about is low. And then "safety", a combination: that the system resists correlating failure states in order to preserve a low expected value of injury.

The problem with machines-following-rules is that they're trivially susceptible to violations of this kind of safety. No doubt there are mitigations and strategies for minimising risk, but its not avoidable.

The danger in our risk assessment of machine systems is that we test them under non-adversarial conditions, and observe safety --- because they can quickly cause more injury than they have ever helped.

This is why we worry, of course, about "fluoride in the water" (, vaccines, etc.) and other such population-wide systems... this is the same sitation. A mass public health programme has the same risk profile.

1. It's not just moving things around. Often you want a segment of code to all do the same thing on error.

2. There are places where you want to abstract your errors, but those places are not every function call or even most function calls.
Right now, peer review is built on a pretty simple assumption: a human came up with the idea, did the work, and wrote the paper. So when another human reviews it, they're not just checking facts, they're assessing originality, reasoning, clarity, and whether the author actually understands what they’re presenting.
But when an AI system like Carl can generate the hypothesis, run the experiments, and write the full paper and it’s polished enough to pass peer review then it forces us to ask: what exactly are reviewers evaluating?
Is it the quality of the output? The logic behind it? Or are we holding the human “author” accountable even if they didn’t do most of the intellectual heavy lifting?
And that’s the real tension. If we can’t distinguish between human and AI contributions, the foundation of peer review starts to feel shaky. Not because the content is bad but because the system was never designed for this kind of authorship.
This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot while building https://papercheck.ai/en, which is focused on helping researchers improve their writing before submission. Most of them want to express their own ideas more clearly and not outsource the thinking. But lines are blurring fast.
Maybe what we need are reviewers who look at the process, not just the paper. Or new standards around transparency: what parts were AI-assisted, and to what extent?
It’s not about resisting AI it’s about keeping the review process trustworthy as the way we create knowledge starts to change.

As always, the answer is likely whatever tech stack you are comfortable with already.

Inevitably, your AI will get stuck and you will have to roll up your sleeves and dig into the problem. In what framework/language are you most quickly able to read (likely overly-verbose) AI code and dig into the root issue? The one you're most familiar with.

Serious crash rates are a hockey stick pattern. 20% of the drivers cause 80% of the crashes, to a rough approximation. For the worst 20% of drivers, the Waymo is almost certainly better already.

Honestly, at this point I am more interested in whether they can operate their service profitably and affordably, because they are clearly nailing the technical side.

For example data from a 100 driver study, see table 2.11, p. 29.
https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/37370
Roughly the same number of drivers had 0 or 1 near-crashes as had 13-50+. One of the drivers had 56 near crashes and 4 actual crashes in less than 20K miles! So the average isn't that helpful here.

In South Australia, as a requirement for building our house, we had to install water tanks.

We have 22,000 litres of water stored, with pumps and filters. And we are on mains water too so it’s never used.

We also have 6,000 litres of water stored for fire fighting.

As do many other houses on our street and local area.

Then there is the solar and storage batteries…

We could go for a good while and we live in a metropolitan area!

Rural Australians could probably survive for longer as isolation is their life anyway LOL ;-)
meh. The whitespace makes it easier to eyeball IMHO.
I don't agree with this novel environment argument about routes. As a human, there are a limited number of roads that I have driven on. A taxi driver drives better than me because none of the routes are considered novel: the taxi driver has likely driven on every road in a city in his/her career. The self-driving machine has most definitely driven on every single road in the city, perhaps first as testing with human backup, then testing with no passengers, and finally passenger revenue miles.

There is bread made such that its shelve life is increased at the expense of taste and texture. It is sort of gummy, I find it hard to describe.

Meat freezes well. We load up the freezer and defrost in the fridge a day or two before cooking.

Bread tends to last two weeks in the fridge, but our bread isn't what I'd consider great bread. It's just for toast or sandwiches.

Eggs last a long time in the fridge, well beyond their best by dates.

Milk also lasts two weeks just fine.

Veggies are the hardest if they can't be frozen. We tend to go fresh veggie heavy the first week and frozen veggies the following weeks until we get to the store.
The winning strategy is that Google has so many surfaces that they can embed their own AI in (also use as training data sources) that they essentially can't lose unless their models are just terrible.

OK, I will answer. Bread goes in the fridge in a ziploc (sealed plastic bag). It can last days without getting moldy or dry or stale. Meat goes in the freezer - and it can stay there for months if it is vacuum sealed (I have salmon I caught from last summer in my freezer. Because it is vacuum sealed there are no freezer 'burns'). Veggies - the fridges have some type of circulation inside and they have some bins marked for veggies. In these bins veggies do not go stale in a day or two. Tomatoes / peppers / carrots / celery can easily last more than 1 week. My two cents.
