I imagine it's the same foundation model on the 4 series, with Fable 5/Mythos being a new or upgraded foundation model. Then the point releases are fine-tuning plus post-training a…

That's the least of it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpvxgl3n138o All 500,000 participants for sale on Alibaba... And official response: https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/news/a-m…

This looks wonderful! After playing Cities Skylines 2 for the last week, all I can say is that as long as you have a half-decent traffic system, I'll be happy!

Plus the SUV is usually point-to-point, leave home, go to work, come back. Whereas the bus is going back and forth ten times per day. In Europe, the numbers differ even more. Light…

I work on ML problems in the healthcare/life sciences area, anything that enhances explainability is helpful. To a regulator, it's not really good enough to point at a black box an…

Oh god, the bad mocks are the worst. Try adding instructions not to make mocks and it creates "placeholders", ask it to not create mocks or placeholders and it creates "stubs". Dri…

Not agreeing or disagreeing with your point, just adding info for context: Fortnite: July 25, 2017 (Battle Royale mode launched September 26, 2017) Apex Legends: February 4, 2019 V…

In the UK and a few other countries (Norway, Hungary, Canada, ???), EVs will have a green "flash" on the number plate. Makes it a bit easier to identify!

Forgive me if I find it somewhat difficult to take seriously an argument by a person judging progress on the Kardashev scale... You could pick some slightly less sci-fi measures li…

> Where did I mention being an amazing programmer? I mean... that's what the title and context of the discussion thread is all about?

Because an autistic person can be an amazing programmer? As could a blind person, a deaf person, etc... Simple accommodations can be made if needed and then there's no need to excl…

In the specific case here, 7z is your friend for all zips and compressed files in general, not sure I've ever used unzip on Linux. Related to that, the Unix philosophy of simple to…

Seems to me like many research institutions, but well funded, attracting great talent and able to operate for a long timescale - they asked a lot of wrong questions too and we just…

Love the 1930's Kanban board at 2:35

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (AI). Think of it as if ChatGPT (or other models) didn't just have the embedded unstructured knowledge in their weights from learning, but also an ex…

Big fan of DuckDB! Has saved us a number of times when having to deploy at a remote client with limited on-prem customisation for security reasons (ie. no to installing a big Postg…

And don't forget that SpaceX had to sue the government/Boeing/Lockheed/ULA, multiple times, just in order to be allowed to compete for these contracts rather than having it locked …

Sure, but I've got serverless computing with Aurora v2. I've got upto 15 read replicas, blue/green deployments, upto 128 cores per replica at a cheaper price... I'm just not really…

Yeah that storage pricing is a killer. Given Aurora is $0.1/GB, I just wouldn't even consider this.

They should just ask Boeing to build a rocket to keep it in orbit, would be cheaper...

Was there anything else at Sensyne that could have been open-sourced and/or of value to the community? I may be in a position to open some of that up before it's lost.

Eh, Azure has a big delete button for any Subscription. Seen it happen and take down a production system. Thankfully they also must've realised this was a stupid button and provide…

Exactly. I love the car in so many other ways that it just really makes some decisions stand out as ridiculous. Why try and skimp $50 manufacturing cost on stalks and sensors in a …

Good. My Tesla doesn't have a stalk for wiper control and it's just awful UX. The auto function is erratic (often triggers on a sunny day, doesn't pick the right level in the rain)…
