How long ago was it that you tried FSD? My car (HW4) had a lot difficulty like this in the early days of FSD 11 but over the past thirty months it's gone from "good at highway driv…

When you’re digging around in tens to hundreds of PCs each day, the odds of zapping something are higher. I’ve killed a few chips and boards.

Hi, it’s me.

I can find no such requirement in the App Store Guidelines. Or is there anecdotal evidence somewhere?

Sure, the model would not “know” about your example, but that’s not the point; the penultimate[0] goal is for the model to figure out the method signature on its own just like a hu…

Please stop giving me project ideas. :)

It sounds like the engineer may have little/no experience with concurrency; a lot of folks (myself included) sometime struggle with how various systems handle concurrency/paralleli…

In my experience, and for use-cases that are carefully considered, language models are not confidently wrong a majority of the time. The trick is understanding the tool and using i…

I don’t know for certain (he’s no longer around) but I suspect he did. The prevalence of folks who nowadays believe that Gen-AI makes everything worse suggests to me that not much …

Again, is it possible you and the other party have (perhaps significantly) different mental models of the domain—or maybe different perspectives of the issues involved? I get that …

Is it possible that what happened was an impedance mismatch between you and the engineer such that they couldn’t grok what you told them but ChatGPT was able to describe it in a ma…

I was hoping for a Desk Set reference; thank you.

This is one reason I see to be optimistic about some of the hype around LLMs—folks will have to learn how to write high quality specifications and documentation in order to get goo…

Although the practicality of what you described towards the end of your original comment conceptually demonstrates an MoE-like architecture, the fact that you explicitly mentioned …

I get your frustration with bugs but, what TVs (or any other consumer electronic product) aren’t reliant upon software for basic system control nowadays? Hardware isn’t inherently …

Sigh. It didn’t take 100 years to grow the ICE repair industry and I imagine you know that; I suspect you’re just being stubbornly argumentative for the sake of vanity. There’s alr…

Are you suggesting that since the third-party EV repair industry is still in its infancy that EVs are therefore objectively bad? If so, how is that perspective different from any o…

> In our content, we don’t generally worry that someone is reading our inner dialogue… Really? Is that what’s wrong with me? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you seen the Tesla Model S Plaid, or the Lucid Air Saphire? Heck, even the supercar/hypercar market is slowly becoming predominantly BEV.
