Not sure if it’s using the same FSD decision matrix but my model S chimed at me to drive into the intersection while sitting at a red light Last night with absolutely zero possibil…

Having handed over control of my vehicles to FSD many times, I’ve yet to come away from the experience feeling that my vehicle was operating in a safer regime for the general publi…

Something like 400 people just died because of a claim about nuclear weapons which is not backed up by evidence. Claims that have been echoed for decades… Purportedly 400 people ju…

Model Control Protocol is not Model Context Protocol. We might be suffering from too many acronyms. (Just to be clearer, I think you’re referencing on the wrong MCP)

Where positive impact is purely defined as a reduction in investment on public initiatives and ignoring the much more complicated returns those investments may have produced both f…

Amazing project.

I’m sure the 30k is below cost assuming Tesla makes some revenue on the taxi service over the lifetime of the vehicle.

The vehicle decided to go into oncoming traffic to clear a light change?! What type of an excuse is that. The vehicle should not have been in an intersection it is unable to clear.…

As much as the headline leads to satirization, I think this is a good thing. I’d much rather have someone who’s leading the forefront of a technical innovation on the board than no…

There’s a sentiment which isn’t really being expressed here so far. I don’t begrudge people who are less fortunate and need help. I don’t enjoy my food any less because someone who…

“OpenTofu Project was recently made aware of a letter by HashiCorp’s lawyers, alleging that OpenTofu was not respecting the terms of its BSL license governing its Terraform codebas…

Just leaving this here without making simplistic claims of what constitutes a fact. ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_terrorism )

Having worked at Facebook, albeit a long time ago. It’s far more likely that a conflict of events caused a false positive of an Automated spam system than Facebook giving a crap ab…

I’m running and finishing missions daily. There are bugs, yes, but it is imminently playable.

35mm film is equivalent to about 21MP. https://api.filmfix.com/blog.asp?post=599

I would think it has to do with the IP owners using the likeness of the actors to continue to market the show year after year.

All knowledge is lossy compression. My thinking “the enemy gate is down” when considering the tokens “Ender’s Game” is my recalling a learned association of those tokens to the giv…

I believe LLMs should be allowed to read/view/consume content and learn from it even if that content has a copyright. We phrase it like somehow the material is being copied into th…

I’ve been trying to install git on the hypervisor of my smartOS install intermittently for a year. I run into system package conflicts or key signing errors and then I give up and …

Except that generative AI is actually generative. It isn’t recreating a work by shape and line and form. It is using the knowledge gained from studying many works to determine when…

And the other 30% is unknown so we can’t say they selectively comply. It’s quite possible the other 30% are invalid warrants, in which case there’s nothing to comply with.

I’m biased because I used to work for Facebook a long time ago. So take my words with a grain of salt. But Facebook research really wants to build amazing tech to power new experie…

I gave it a picture of the Mahi Mahi and jambalaya I was having in a restaurant. It showed me pictures of food. Fair enough. But it’s completely disingenuous to say it’s finding at…

I think it’s misleading to say Tesla faked the driving. They were running one off software, purpose trained for the route, showing the golden run that was successful.. yes. But it …

1) it makes the engineers happy to be able to speak about the interesting projects they are working on and give back to the wider community. 2) it serves as a venue for attracting …
