Experimental research model with enhanced visual reasoning capabilities.

Supports context length of 128k.

Currently, the model only supports single-round dialogues and image outputs. It does not support video inputs.

Should be capable of images up to 12 MP.
Maybe, but why couldn’t a competitor prove their system works using safety drivers?

If a competitor resold their system to other car companies, another possible scenario might be a duopoly like Apple versus Android.

In the way a pilot might misclick one time on a popup and crash a plane, yes. Except that never happens, because pilots know better than to use systems where a single misclick can mean a crash, which is much more than we can say about the top tiers of the US government.

I do think it is something that is a bit of a learned skill. I've done around 30 of them and the earlier ones I did rather poorly on, and even within the last 15 puzzles I had one where I scored 0. But the last 3 puzzles I've scored 100 on.

It's not for everyone I'm sure, especially if you are unfamiliar with common English phrases (like "bang for the buck").
I’m also in a minority community. Let’s just say I grew up on NWA (the rap group). I also roll my eyes at many of those “allies”.

The ? operator has implicit error conversion. As another user said, it usses the From trait which performs conversions between one type and another. (Note that generally in Rust type conversions don't happen implicitly and you need to call .into() -- the ? situation is an exception)

If you want to have more finer grained control on the error conversion (the From conversion is always the same for some pair of error types) you can use map_err before calling ?, like something.map_err(|e| othererror)?

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/enum.Result.html#method...

If you are using anyhow and wants to attach a string message to the error (maybe to explain what happened to the user), you can also use .context(), also called .wrap_err() in eyre (eyre is a fork of anyhow)

https://docs.rs/anyhow/latest/anyhow/trait.Context.html

https://docs.rs/eyre/latest/eyre/trait.WrapErr.html

The following article is ten years old, but was continually updated to keep it fresh and I think it does a good job explaining how error handling works in Rust:

Bruce Sterling's "Heavy Weather" was a surprisingly accurate prediction of the 2020-2040s for coming out in 1995 at the peak of "the end of history". He called this one re: tuberculosis.
To me, that niche is already covered by Wikisource. Standard Ebooks as a project is very strict about conforming to its editorial and quality standards. On boarding more languages would require volunteer editorial experts in those languages.

Besides, projects in other languages can absolutely build upon Standard Ebooks work, but to expect Standard Ebooks itself to support other languages is just too outside the scope and expertise of the volunteers available.
Also, is there a single book on here written in the past 60 years?
Do you "claim" a book, to make sure that no-one else is trying to work on the same book? I presume that's part of step 4 in your link, given that it would be heartbreaking to get 90% of the way through and then be beaten to it by someone who'd started at roughly the same time!
Ad revenue is not the only kind of revenue. Traditionally, people would pay purveyors for goods or services they deemed valuable enough to acquire/use.

No, I agree it isn't ORM-specific. I mention it in that context only because for a library dev to take it on themself to try to save the library consumer from themself in this way, strikes me as a good example of the philosophical maximalism - the do-everything, Swiss-army-knife attitude that tries ultimately
to abstract away everything about the underlying datastore - that seems to me to characterize the fundamental perspective taken by ORM developers and maintainers.

I also mention it in this context because an ORM multiplies the problem. Everything you describe is indeed very easy in Postgres, but what about the other engines Active Record (or Sequelize, SQLAlchemy, etc) has to support? Now we face a choice between violating our engine-independent abstraction, and declining to offer a useful capability even where it would be no effort - a dilemma entirely imposed, in my view, by the same philosophical maximalism I've been decrying, and one impossible of satisfactory solution: I have long experience of ORMs preferring both solutions, and both are frankly lousy.

We also don't agree on pooled connection semantics, in that I'm okay with expecting callers to know what is and isn't safe to do with that abstraction, but that's a separate issue and not very interesting to me; I'm a grownup, as long as we're using a decent RDBMS and the same convention everywhere, it's fine. Really, I'm just here to grind my axe about ORMs, in hopes someone in their twenties will discover there is a rich and contentious history here, and there are worse problems to have than finding SQL's somewhat archaic syntax and uncommon rigor a little intimidating at first.
I note that you, too, have failed to make a policy proposal that is concrete enough to discuss usefully.

If only 80% of advertising were illegal, probably Consumer Reports could continue to exist, although they would be exposed to some legal risk of being ruled to be illegal advertising, probably prompted by a letter to the Attorney General from a company whose products they reviewed poorly or neglected to review at all. Stricter regimes like most of those being proposed here would make it difficult for CR to discover the existence of products to review.

But possibly you are thinking of a different structure of regulation than I am, rather than just failing to think through its unintended consequences. It's impossible to tell if your proposal stays so vague.

The base rate was discussed early in the article, but not by that name:

> It’s not just that self-driving cars in general are dangerous for motorcycles, either: this problem is unique to Tesla. Not a single other automobile manufacturer or ADAS self-driving technology provider reported a single motorcycle fatality in the same time frame.
The problem is there isn't enough data here. Killing 5 motorcycles isn't great, but if human driver killed say 100 in the same sample, 5 is actually pretty good. Of course if human drivers kill 1 or 2 in the same sample, 5 is really bad.

I think they mean that because people have been driving automobiles for over 100 years and that proves (somehow) that visual detection works for identifying hazards on the road.

I agree. Those offline jobs are highly productive and fun. I'd like to think they still exist somewhere. They did 15 years ago. But I'm afraid a whole generation of software professionals is growing up without ever experiencing it, just taking the current state of the industry as the norm.

I like the way you frame it as an "offline only" work environment. Offline vs online does seem to be the main distinction here.

It's not the remoteness. It's the apps and the intellectually-lazy culture they encourage. Slack, Jira, Github, Docs, Sheets, etc. So much of modern work is navigating those byzantine digital games to score virtual communication points, rather than actually communicating anything of value. Being terminally online is almost guaranteed to lead to presence monitoring, stilted communication, territoriality, lack of clarity, poor product quality and dehumanization. It can happen remotely, it can happen in the office. Doesn't matter. The app-ification of all communication lines is what's harmful.

At some point, you need to stop with the digital games and just use your brain. Commit to the deep work of communicating. There are a shocking number of people who would rather shuffle tickets around all day than read or write a single coherent paragraph. Thinking in slack responses and Jira tickets is a symptom of brain rot.
Including a web browser seems a lot easier and simpler than coming up with your own rendering system once you want to support a feature set past the trivial.

Also, xhtml is just markup. It doesn’t mean you have to support all the possible tags and styles of modern html and css. It would be a sensible choice even if you had basic needs. You just parse it into whatever representation you want.
This is really good feedback I think. My puzzle has an overarching thing with down direction also forming words: https://squareword.org/

And yes, some people do try to push it, renting space to park their hay carts that happen to have their business information on the side.

But you know what? Those cases eventually get dealt with too, and overall, the law is a complete win, even with a few people testing the line.
> I still write a lot of Python and shell. I still use Linux

All of those listed things have changed. Python went from 2 to 3, number of shells has multiplied like rabbits. Linux changed in leaps and bounds. It got async, BPF, different tech stacks, and window environments.

> Do you want the list of things that haven't changed since I started programming as a kid?

Sure basic principles have remained the same, but huge chunks of ecosystem have been transformed. Perhaps we are looking at it from different perspectives.

It's kinda like ecosystems. Amazon tropical rainforest looks the same now as it did 1000 years ago from birds eye view. But on the ground entire species came and went, and the species living there changed dramatically, in quality and quantity.

My issue is, employers don't want general knowledge, they want an easily slottable asset. You need to know their tech stack. Even if it changes. Hence why LLMs are so in demand.

Another question - in https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-ste... you talk about "modernising" spelling, e.g. changing "some one" to "someone". This may be against the implicit goal of making these accessible for a general reader, but I prefer to read what was originally written, and it feels like it crosses a line into editorialising rather than letting the original feel stand as-is. (Although of course these texts have already been "editorialised" by their original editors!) Totally your decision given the amount of effort that has clearly gone into this, but I'd be interested to read the rationale for that decision.

No. Do you have any hard questions?

Lisp is a tool meant to be molded to the work, not to have the work forced into a broader, less expressive Lisp mold. Tongs are tools that can be molded to fit the work, rather than forcing the work to fit the tongs (or awkwardly, and perhaps disastrously, not fitting the tongs).

That's it, not too complex.

> The point I soured on Musk was when he ditched radar/lidar and tried to go with camera's alone. This made me realize he is not the genius he is made out to be but instead he is a fraud/charlatan and over the years his statements on different topics have only hardened that belief.

Yeah, he was arguably wrong about one thing so his building both the world's leading EV company and the world's leading private rocket company was fake.

As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Between Tesla, SpaceX, and arguably now xAI, the probability of Musk's genius being a fluke or fraud is close to zero.

It's pretty obvious from the context of the thread that "vision quality" refers to LIDAR vs cameras, and that human vision is good enough, not that being legally blind doesn't somehow doesn't affect driving quality.

I misread your first sentence, in that having multiple pilots is not necessarily a good thing, like multiple cooks.

You have a main and a backup pilot, but either one must be 100% capable of doing it on their own. The backup is silently double checking, but their assignments are more about ensuring that the copilot doesn't just check out because they're human. If the copilot ever has to say "don't do that it's going to kill us all" it's a crisis.

Lidar is a good backup but the car must be able to with without it. You can't drive just with lidar; it's like driving by Braille. Lidar can't even read a stop light. If they cannot handle it with just the visuals, the car should be not be allowed on the road.

I concur that is terrifying that he was allowed to go without the backup that stops it from killing people. Human co drivers are not a good enough backup.

But he's also not wrong that the visual system must be practically perfect -- if it's possible at all. Which it surely isn't yet.
The game ought to make it explicit that proper names are allowed.

But, personally, I would remove proper names, to make it more like most other word games (wordle, spelling bee, jumble, etc.). Crosswords do have proper names, but they've got the clue context to go with them.
The kid does not speak German. But I do. What was the book?
It's called "mantle drip" or "lithospheric drip" in the technical literature. "Lithospheric mantle delamination" is a more descriptive variant. We're fond of fun terms in geology. E.g. the "jelly sandwich model" vs the "creme brulee model" for lithospheric strength is closely related to what's being discussed here. And yes, those are the proper technical terms.

Solids can indeed "drip". The mantle is a solid, but it still very much flows. "Fluid" means no shear strength, but fluids are not the only things that flow and flowing is separate from having a shear strength. Fluids do not behave elastically. If you stress them at all, they permanently deform. Elastic materials behave like a spring up until a point. When you stress them, they deform, but will pop back. The mantle is viscoelastic. Strain rate matters in how it deforms. When you stress at high strain rates it, it deforms, but pops back (i.e. shear waves from earthquakes can pass through). If you maintain those stresses at a low strain rate, it will slowly permanently deform. That's, by definition, flow.

This is a good analogy for what's being discussed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_drop_experiment

The reason "mantle drip" is used is to evoke a mental image similar to that experiment.
Being full stack used to be more exciting to me but with the front end still changing after what felt like we had reached some stability, I have decided I can’t do it anymore. It really caters to a particular type of early startup engineer who is constantly doing greenfield and creating new repos. The issue there is that means you’re constantly poor because you’re always at early stages of funding - and in this market and the market for the next few years… good luck seeing any of those options become liquid.

It’s just not a sustainable path for someone who has to pay a $3m mortgage in Silicon Valley. It’s for the already rich to tinker and the young who can live in a room in a 6bd house.

My career is entirely built around full stack and it’s no shock that I’m back to being penniless. Worked so hard for nothing. Specialize and join big tech. These early stage startups suck and aren’t worth it.

I guess I just have to accept that for the foreseeable future, any article in any way related to Elon Musk will result in a lot of angry low quality comments that get lots of upvotes.

Instead of critiquing the article for liberal use of words like "overwhelmingly", "unique", and " 100% of Teslas" on an n=5 cars, with limited data and a very questionable analysis of the Snohomish accident, we discuss how Musk is a fraud.
