The money matters, not the billionaires.
I thought California doesn't like Billionaires? Now they want to keep them?
The billionaires can go. The money can stay.
This is not complicated.
COSMIC is new(ish) and wants to make a splash. So they are trying to quickly get their design goals and feature parity as fast as possible. That's going to introduce new bugs, a compromise they were willing to make.
Nah, they just don't know what they are doing. They are code monkeys, not software engineers.
Bugs take a lot longer to fix the more you delay.
So, like everything else he touches, he fucks it up and makes it worse.
Just for the sake of argument, I'm trying to think of something he touched and didn't make worse.
So basically, your approach likely leads to a future where the models never learn to handle emergency vehicles, because safety drivers keep having to intervene before they can gather adequate data
Tell me you don't know how model training works without telling me you don't know how model training works.
And: China is a better working democracy than the US 2 party system.
No one believes that, not even Chinese people.
Only funny comment on the story?
But the beloved thing I was thinking about when I saw this story was a little whiteboard I used for scheduling most of my work. I actually inherited it from my predecessor, who I still meet for lunch from time to time... (The next joke requires Unicode, so Slashdot has spared you the attempt.)
Different abandoned IBM site, but I have walked past a few times since then and it looks pretty much unchanged. I didn't try to go in, but from the outside the buildings seem just as they were back then. Difference is that the parking lots are full of unused construction equipment. The site is just being used for storage of inventory by a company that makes the equipment.
Shhh... You aren't supposed to talk about the Cuban invasion. The invasion schedule depends on maximizing impact on the "election" in November. And this time the trick is going to work for sure! ALL those Cuban immigrants now living in America will be so surprised to find themselves drafted into the invasion force. Two birds with one stone time!
Seriously, it's not like Cuba was ever real threat. Not even the level of economic threat that Venezuela once posed with the oil. But it would be funny if Rubio volunteers to be the Generalissimo leading the invasion and then Presidento of the Cuban Republic of Bananas.
Wrong on both counts, though I concur that the selection of stories could be better. MUCH better. Why don't you become a Slashdot editor?
It's pretty sad that so many nerds idolize these fools as role models. Maybe just young wannabe nerds, but they still gobble up this kind of news and gossip.
Even sadder that their petty squabbles and twisted personalities matter so much. This is how the money works these years. But I think the funniest part is that their patron saint Adam Smith is to completely misunderstood. He was mostly talking about how the invisible hand had managed to keep things working up to that time, but at the same time he was removing the cloak of invisibility. I would argue that he therefore deserve a lot, perhaps even the lion's share, of the blame for what has happened to the economies of the world since then.
Just doing some "research" on "crucified on a cross of shareholder value", but I should have asked more about who. As in all of us.
Returning to my modified Subject, I confess I was exaggerating for clickbait effect. I don't think most of the people on Slashdot are that awful and the great insult artists of yore are long gone, too. But there was a time when I thought some Slashdot discussions could be part of actual solutions in the actual world, which has become a funny thought of its own on a website that is simultaneously seriously deficient in funny.
(Yesterday's trip to the library netted an anti-AI book, an anti-monopoly book, and one humor book from a long-dead humorist. Current priority book is neuroscience and still digesting Careless People about the awful people of Facebook.)
No goal posts were moved. FSD was never delivered. They even were forced to change the name to clarify it's not "fully self driving" which is why they put the word supervised after it in brackets.
Also I claimed it was never delivered to people who ordered it. With the average ownership of a new car being 5 years, and given the first time Musk promised FSD would be delivered in 2017, leaving aside the fact Tesla does not offer L4 autonomous FSD for any consumers in any jurisdiction right now, can you point to me where Tesla shipped L4 autonomy (or even L3) back in 2022? Because if not, there are literally 10s of thousands of people who paid for a product that never functioned as Musk promised.
Watch the TFL Tesla Hands Free series and report back that you still don't think it exists.
It objectively doesn't. You don't need to watch videos, you just need to go to Tesla's own website and see how they advertise it : "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" to demonstrate it's not what Musk has promised. You just need to look up what autonomy level their system is classified as.
I'm not legally allowed to sit and play with my phone while the car drives itself, so whatever video you show me is completely irrelevant. They have not certified a self driving system for public use, period. Tesla has precisely 42 of their manufactured vehicles on the road with L4 autonomy, and most of those *STILL* include a safety driver. So please stop simping for the trillionaire, it's pathetic.
Define "working society". Are you including the people who shoplift/steal items and make their living selling them at popup flea markets?
Boosters are risking their freedom and even their lives. If it was easier for them to find work then they'd do legitimate work instead of boosting. Selling at flea markets is a job itself, so they're clearly willing to work.
CEO of memory company on the eve of their IPO says memory is in short supply and the prices are going to get worse (ie: higher). Yeah thatâ(TM)s not suspicious at all.
Yeah that sounds suspicious. On the flip side try rephrasing your point:
CEO of memory company on the even of their IPO says thing that all other CEOs of memory companies have already been saying, things that industry analysts have been saying, things that tech media have been saying, and thing that just make sense given current state of AI investment.
Doesn't sound remotely suspicious now does it?
Imagine what would happen if the government had to pay 5X the RAM cost just to get a PC or server loaded up with enough RAM.
*Commences Imagining*
Procurement: "The ram costs 5x the amount of the server itself."
Department head: "Is that the market rate?"
Procurement: "Yes"
Department head: "Okay go for it.
*Ends Imagining*.
Sorry was there something out of the ordinary that was supposed to happen in your scenario?
Precisely no one is mining bitcoin on equipment that could be easily retrofitted to an AI workload. Bitcoin has for nearly a decade now been something for dedicated ASIC miners that are designed to do a single thing quickly, and AI is not that thing.
At best you may be able to bust out a soldering iron and scavenge the RAM chips.
