Some neat results from the last six months or so: - Significantly-improved diffusion models (DALL-E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc) - Diffusion models for video (see https://…

https://www.deeplearningbook.org/ and http://incompleteideas.net/book/the-book-2nd.html are excellent resources for supervised and reinforcement learning, respectively, and some kn…

It’s possible, though not quite as clean as you’d like: from IPython.display import display, Markdown as md display(md(f'*pi = {math.pi}*'))

I was shooketh

Huge thanks to the node team for adding this, I’ve been wanting fetch in node for years now! Installing node-fetch for every project was getting kind of old haha

The lisp folks are probably wondering why it took us so long to figure out the whole “all configuration is code” thing haha

Yeah, the stock driver assists in most cars still need a LOT of work. I drove from San Diego to LA last weekend with a comma, and openpilot handled the entire trip without a single…

Man, I saw that thing moving sideways right after liftoff and I thought it was a gonner! Huge congrats to SpaceX for landing with an offset engine like that on their first try!!!

Shoot you’re right, I read “warning light” and just assumed. Thanks for the correction! On the other hand, it’s even weirder that Boeing didn’t bother fixing it if it was just a so…

Yep. The "AOA sensor disagreement" light is built into every cockpit, but it won't turn on unless the airline purchased a specific premium add-on. Boeing claims they initially didn…

The success of Tesla as a business will have far more impact on our progress against global warming than CA’s regulatory goals will. Maybe some don’t see it that way, but I’m quite…

I think https://www.alexirpan.com/2019/10/29/openai-rubiks.html is a pretty good take. tldr: unfortunately, even tiny discrepancies between the simulation and reality (like the siz…

My guess would be radar data overlaid onto the cameras, but not 100% sure

Inter-frame jumpy-ness can be smoothed out slightly by the control algorithms, on the assumption of object permanence, as long as the underlying vision NN doesn’t miss things too o…

I’m kind of impressed by how smooth it is, actually. If you watch videos of state-of-the-art object localization NNs, they tend to be EXTREMELY jumpy. These neural nets usually ope…

They use both radar and cameras, but primarily cameras. Lines, road markings, stop lights, and street signs can only be detected with vision, but cars+pedestrians can (usually) be …

STRONGLY disagree. I’m just a hobbyist, but trying to read Keras models can be a god damn nightmare if the author has to do anything even slightly non-standard. Keras seems to REAL…

I agree with this to some extent, but there are real advantages to having all your code in same framework, and PyTorch is significantly easier to iterate on and debug compared to T…

Yeah probably true, I did say “approaches” though! My guess is that short interest will eventually drop below 5% over the next couple years if Tesla continues to perform well and g…

The base Model 3 costs $40k in the US, and even without any extra options at all, it’s a great car to drive IMO! (Although it IS a lot more expensive in foreign markets)

Well, short interest in Tesla has decreased significantly over the past six months, from over 40% of the float in June 2019, to under 20% in December 2019. As more and more short s…

For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'

I mean, there’s only so long Fiat can keep handing billions of dollars to Tesla, so either they’ll eventually go bankrupt or they’ll start producing good electric cars!

Sure, you could definitely argue that the EU’s strict environmental regulations make European auto manufacturers less competitive. On the other hand, these regulations are designed…
