Comment Correction noted [Re:My honda does that now] (Score 2) 138

The link in the summary to the CAFE standards specifically mentions it includes light trucks.

Looks like the standard must have changed, and my information is out of date. In the past, there hadseparate standards for cars and light trucks (e.g., https://afdc.energy.gov/data/1... ).

I stand corrected.

Trump is transactional. All he cares about is money and ego.

* glances over at the combined fiscal and narcissistic worth of the Pelosis, Clintons, and OBidens * Maybe if it were only slightly less blatantly fucking obvious..

Out of the list of the ten richest politicians in America, 3 are Democrats and 7 are Republicans. So looks like Republicans have the edge. https://247wallst.com/politics...

Biden and Obama would need to be about an order of magnitude richer to make the list.

China is falling apart from within. Demographics bomb,

That's happening across the world. It just hit China and Japan a few years earlier than it's hitting us.

serious civil unrest, currency manipulation, a host of problems.

Here too.

Be careful of quitting the field when your enemy is losing.

Unless you're losing faster.

There is no practical way to do that. Seriously.

In order to do it properly you'd need to have a process similar to declassification redactions, where a human can reason about real-world context. And you'd need a lot of bodies to do that to 20M chats in any reasonable amount of time.

"De-identification" automation can sometimes give you a dataset that by itself is anonymized. You really need structured input data for that, though, and the real problem is that there are frequently ways to "enrich" an anonymized dataset by finding other datasets you can join it to.

And here we're talking about freeform chats with multimodal inputs, those tools really can't cope with that sort of thing.

Further, the "enrichment" for this sort of thing could be weird. I could theoretically have described a situation to ChatGPT that didn't have identifying names/numbers in it, but that you could recognize, thus outing me. There's no way to redact that sort of thing.

I guess that's sarcasm and AI humor, but remember that the average is across all vehicles for a manufacturer. Most trucks still get around 20 to 24. To offset that there will need to be lighter cars that get near 50, and not just a handful - trucks are top heavy sellers for some manufacturers not named Honda.

Nope.

Trucks, including the light trucks sold to consumers, are a separate category in DAFE. You don't average trucks in with cars.

It might not be a sustainable economic model once engineering employment returns to normal there. They may be tuning the bots to fit the current car model, but changing models later may result in problems similar to Tesla's, when they no longer have low-wage engineers to de-glitch them again. Time will tell...
