To point out that even your average human with 2 Mk. 1 eyeballs is not that awful at driving. We can absolutely do better with computers but the baseline is reasonably high.

What senses do you need for driving besides sight and sound? All of the rest of this is just saying "the human brain has a well trained model for objects moving around in meatspace…

Because the overwhelming majority of these reports are for teens sexting each other.

It is not a conspiracy that elements of the western security establishment want to ban open weights models and have been engaging in a PR war to this end, supported by Anthropic.

Because the goal of these evaluations is to generate scary headlines about cybersecurity, in order to get the normies to support banning open weights and/or restricting cyber capab…

Even the average human ends up with about 1 fatality every 100 million miles and 1 serious injury every 10 million miles. The typical person will drive somewhere in the six figures…

I wish I were as rich as Elon but alas I'm just an ordinary person who appreciates more than one company competing to deploy autonomous driving technology. Appreciate the vitriol t…

In terms of dynamic range and color space? Yes absolutely. But for driving you don't really need a huge color space and for dynamic range you can just use separate cameras for dayt…

If 2x Mk 1 eyeballs are good enough then I figure cameras can get there too. Or are we going to outlaw that as well because of competitive incentives of Waymo?

So do you want to outlaw espresso martinis? Or rum and cokes?

But you can do a backdoor Roth IRA by maxing out your 401k and then rolling it over into a Roth IRA with recharachterization. You lose the tax benefits of the 401k but gain the tax…

By taking nominal wages and then normalizing them to some specified year’s dollars using a price index. Yes I know you believe that price indices are made up but if anything CPI ov…

Real wages are higher today than they ever have been. The whole story about median real wages falling is entirely a result of Simpson’s paradox as applied to women entering the wor…

In this particular case it was literally arson.

The fundamental obstacle is that we have no conceivable way to produce the energy levels to test the predictions that new theoretical physics would produce. We are like over a doze…

Glad to know you uncritically will sign up for the moral panic of the times.

No it is just a moral panic because college students like to drink vodka Red Bulls, as opposed to drinking Irish coffees or any similar combination of caffeine and alcohol.

It is on par with Portal 2, both the original and the sequel, imo. Some people think the sequel took a step back but I don’t really see why, if anything I liked 2 better than 1.

The thing that makes this argument ring hollow to me is that all of the tech giants have the same interest in their code being protected by copyright, and afaik no big tech giants …

Side note, but playing Talos Principle after the AI revolution hits different than it did back in 2014. So much of what Milton says feels a lot less hypothetical today.

Apple TV the app has ads for Apple TV shows. Apple TV the device doesn’t have ads built in.

I think that this is the big divide between pro and anti-AI people in tech. I learned to code not because I liked coding intrinsically; I didn't. Especially debugging. Especially e…

"Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, a…
