A goodish portion of medicine is applying an algorithm to a set of circumstance. A large potion of the critical thinking has already been done for you. You just need to isolate which algorithm applies when.
The very best doctors (from a very, very good doctor), are interlocutors, teasing out what isn't obvious from what the patient is presenting an piecing out a narrative of what makes sense.
The critical thinking is much after.
I meant more that we don't have our own affordable EV's in the market.
You'd be surprised.
Beyond the nuts and bolts of how to do a thing, there is a fair bit of nuance and institutional knowledge that goes into any job, that isn't apparent from a set of directives.
Sometimes it takes the form of best practices. Sometimes it is knowing what wheel to grease to get something done.
Individually, they may not amount to much, but in totality they make the difference between something running smoothly and pulling your hair out.
And even in the face of this context matters, which is why LLMs make such obvious errors like putting glue on pizza and Carl generally doesn't.
I'm not saying any particular person said that, and the question to Slashdot was asked over 2 decades ago. But I was assured that SSDs were "now reliable as an archival store", despite my informal test failure. (I had backed up something to them, and stuck them in a drawer for perhaps a year. They became unreadable.)
In some ways US standards are way stricter than European. In other ways, not so much. So mainly the standards are different and focus on different aspects of safety. American standards focus on things like rollover protection more than European standards do. US crash test standards are higher too. I think this might have to do with everyone driving big SUVs here in North America. Europe focuses on other safety features including driver assistance technologies. AI tells me that European regs are now requiring emergency button to call for help. Also Europe allows headlights that have no clear high or low beam, but can transition between as the car detects oncoming traffic, and steerable headlights, which have stricter requirements in the US. Also different configurations are allowed for tail lights than the US does.
Besides the tariffs and outright ban on Chinese EVs, they would have to change their vehicles for North America, and I suspect they will once the US reverses the ban.
Canada is about to allow Chinese EVs in and reduce tariffs, but the reality is that only chinese Teslas will met safety regs here. Canada is way too small a market for other Chinese companies to build special vehicles for.
As much as I agree with the statement that contemporary LLMs certainly differ a lot from what we experience as "thinking" from other human beings, the problem with this line of argument remains that there is no consensus on what exactly manifests "thinking",
The problem with this line of thinking is that you are ignorant of the fact that we CAN say what is not thinking, and we've narrowed down the problem quite a bit.
It is generally agreed that chocolate bars do not think. Rocks do not think. Pocket calculators do not think. We know what thinking is not, even if we can't define it fully.
Because of the low price. Put a shocked face and title it "This amazing EV is only $23,000!!!"
This works because there are not equivalent US/EU/Japan/Korea cars in the same price ranges, I can watch influence reviews of all the $50-80k EV's from those countries all day long but they won't have the same effect because I wouldn't be buying those anyway. Now this cheap Chinese EV, if I could I might consider it. It's very effective and a self inflicted problem for the US.
I always thought most CD-Rs have a pretty short shelf life. And recordable DVDs too. Thy use ink that changes color when the laser heats it to store data instead of a pit, and that ink degrades.
Counterpoint: Sure we can. We track and predict energy usage pretty well and base capacity additions off of that. If there is a sudden consumer of energy that throw the consumption rate up a bunch it's fair to ask what that is and if the utility it is providing is worth the cost.
The question is if AI wasn't there would these coal plants be operating or would the rest of the grid be able to keep up.
My sample size was small (just a couple), but it decided me not to trust SSDs for backup even though everyone on Slashdot said I should trust them. What I'm afraid is that portable USB drives will start being main with SSDs rather than spinning rust without bothering to tell me.
Not a good idea, but you could try paper tape.
A key milestone for Rapidus came with the delivery of an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) system from the Dutch company ASML.
The high-tech machinery helped bring about Rapidus' biggest accomplishment yet earlier this year – the successful production of prototype two nanometre (2nm) transistors.
[...]
It's a feat only rival chip makers TSMC and Samsung have accomplished. Intel is not pursuing 2nm, it is leapfrogging from 7nm straight to 1.8nm.
"We succeeded in manufacturing the 2nm prototype for the first time in Japan, and at an unprecedented speed in Japan and globally," Mr Koike said.
It's not really a gamble if they have demonstrated the basic technology works. It seems more like a logical an investment. Will they be highly successful or not has yet to be seen but this isn't a company without merit.
Fuckin' truuuuuuuue
Turned out the government actually had working protocols and guardrails to keep people's personal data isolated between departments and Republicans blew that all up in like 45 days.
