I remember telling people it’s possible and having a whole bunch of online folk tell me how Stephen Wang from Princeton said there was a 98% chance that Democrats would win.

Nate Silver went from being congratulated for his predictions to getting criticized for mentioning that there were correlated errors which could easily result in a Republican president. It was interesting because Silver wasn’t even predicting a Republican victory just a 40% chance it could happen.

I think you can give some people great parents and you just might be unlucky enough that they don’t turn out to be nice people. It’s probably worse now than ever in history because people can have one bad day and then they can follow it up with permanently radicalizing themselves on the Internet.

I tried to look through a lot of cases. It seemed like most every case was leaking information, threats of actual violence, stolen valor, or other generally agreed upon crimes. There’s truth to the notion that a government is more likely to look for crimes if you’re a specific person, but I don’t know of anyone in the modern US who goes to jail for lying about things the army has done. I use the word “lying” because Russia courts make the claim that that’s what happened here.

Also, there are more recent cases of Russia imprisoning someone for essentially this same crime.

I read the previous comment. I tried to find a source they would prefer.

My bad: die, not survive.

Generally speaking, solar panels aren’t optimized for near-constant traveling.

Do they mean it can’t get a net positive amount of energy produced while driving it? Because, relativistically I don’t see why near constant speed is different from being near stationary for solar panels.

Oh man I definitely agree here. I’m a huge fan of that “better than a human” threshold. Roads are already very dangerous. One of the wildest things I’ve noticed is highway driving at night in very rainy conditions, sometimes visibility will be near zero. Yet a lot of drivers are zooming around pretending they can see. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone when it happens.

If you need a Russian source:

It’s interesting that they include phone brands like MobiWire and Blackberry, but not Google.

I’m not good with answers, but if it helps I have a question.

Why did he specifically survive? Is he physically different or is it just luck?

I didn’t say FSD was an LLM. My comment was implementation agnostic. My point was that drivers are less forgiving to what programmatically seems like a small error than someone who is trying to generate an essay.

Other than that it performed flawlessly for over 40 minutes in a live demo.

I get that this is an alpha, but the problem with full self driving is that’s way worse than what users want. If chatgpt gave you perfect information for 40 minutes (it doesn’t) and then huge lies once, we’d be using it everywhere. You can validate the lies.

With FSD, that threshold means a lot of people would have terrible accidents. No amount of perfect driving outside of that window would make you feel very happy.

When you get a MacBook you don’t need to worry about finding and downloading an external app for almost anything

I don’t think that’s really a fair complaint against Windows when Microsoft got sued for doing exactly that.

I like it especially if it works like a switch. Imagine how perfect your naps would be. You’d never oversleep.

It only works when your eyes are closed.

There’s a questionable outlet on Twitter that claims the flight attendant noticed “Unusual Repairs” before takeoff.

It also seems like that ruling was for AI that had nearly no human input.

Bialik’s delivery of questions is really good. The only downside of her hosting is she sometimes has very long pauses before she says someone is correct. I’d heard speculation that it’s because she made a slip up early on when she awarded points for an incorrect answer and the producers wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Since Ken is arguably the Jeopardy goat*, he’s much less likely to make this type of mistake.

*Brad Rutter should be up there because he beat Ken a few times in tournaments of champions and was unable to have Ken’s streak because Brad was from the 5-wins-and-go-home era.

I didn’t really get the complaints. The trailers made it pretty clear that the romcom thing is a part of the show. I like a lot of different sci-fi, but I could tell even before I watched the show that I could get people I know that don’t like sci-fi to watch this.

Now… if they rolled out a Scary Mary trailer we’d all be having a different conversation.

If it’s infinite, you’d basically be gambling that no evil person exists.
