Because a lot of English is spoken by non-native speakers.

You aren't wrong, but my assumption was (perhaps incorrectly?) that they would add Lidar sensors in addition to their cameras, not replace them.

I'm not saying what the better option would be (because I don't know), but many people approach the problem from a very myopic point of view. Adopting Lidar would of course provide…

I think of it like this: Many people would "happily" spend 5 years in prison for a more than probable chance to get filthy rich. That's a superset with, I imagine, significantly gr…

Just out of curiosity, why is the below example more git-friendly than the above? Smaller deltas? (and if so: why?)

Sure you can. Just don't shut down counter-arguments from, say, believers in certain form of animism, by implying that their side is invalid because there is no universally accepte…

Except that he doesn't acknowledge other points of view: >As much as people want to believe, LLMs are not intelligent by any stretch. Acknowledging other points of view would have …

I don't disagree for the items you listed, but for something that exhibits what in many aspects can AT LEAST be mistaken for 'intelligence' (among signs of the complete opposite, o…

>he's just pointing out there's no universal agreement on what intelligence even is. Which is why I find it strange that he takes it upon himself to proclaim in a definitive manner…

But why are his toys floating around in the air and moving on their own? Why is there a guitar playing itself? Burden of proof just shifted.

>LLMs are not intelligent by any stretch. >There is no concrete definition so there is no concrete way of deciding if something is intelligent. You say there is no concrete way of …

Wouldn't it be easier (since they probably have very skilled programmers working for them) and way, way more effective to just set up a team and create a quality open source projec…

My workflow will probably seem a bit clunky since I try to make the notes as good as possible. That can mean spending anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes writing a note if I inte…

For note-taking specifically, I've tried everything from plain old pen and paper to more modern solutions like Evernote and emacs (if you can call that modern), but nothing I've co…

Speaking for myself, and except for just being curious, it's mostly for similar reasons as to why you'd want to read, for example, CLRS, even though you'll probably never implement…

>How easy will it be for any company like MS to correlate that data with all that other data they extracted without user consent? Doable to some extent, but would they really learn…

https://stackoverflow.com/a/66309040 This was the answer I originally linked to, because I found it to be an exceptional explanation of the inner workings of git. For some reason m…

What I don't understand is this: Out of the thousands and thousands of participants in the study, some of them are sure to have unknown deficits. You'd think then that in studies l…

The idea is that there should be some amount of 'friction' involved. I used to have a script that made it easier, but realized after a while that it defeated much of the purpose of…
