Yeah, totally unprecedented....

Hey, our product is classified as a weapon by the US military....

Maybe not, but they do want to use the super advanced powerful a-awesome best AI that can do things like that when it's "without production classifiers" that make it safe.

Eric S. Raymond wrote "The Cathedral and the Bazaar", which inspired Mozilla to make their browser open source. For some reason, this means they name their extended support releases after him.

There's a simpler explanation. The reef is named BSD. :-)

Sounds like Tesla is A/B testing their safety driver/person. Maybe the one on the passenger side doesn't actually have to know how to drive, or even have a license, just be able push a button. Which one sounds less expensive? Noting that simply pushing a "kill switch" won't help in an accident avoidance situation...

You still don't understand what model collapse is.

Is the person/committee who picked the newer private New Tab colors literally blind or just colorblind? They're horrible.

Sure, and we here on Slashdot are criticising the silly article. And I'm criticising your silly repeating of the silly claim that polarization is not a quantum phenomenon because you can "explain" it (in a very narrow energy range if you squint and don't look too close) using classical physics. I probably wouldn't have replied at all if you hadn't told one of your other replies "it's okay if you don't understand quantum mechanics."

The actual paper doesn't use "first quantum material" at all. It says "first class of room-temperature quantum materials that are intrinsically sensitive to the quantum statistical properties defining all forms of light". They actually write it all out twice, which suggests to me that they were aware that shortening it to "quantum material" would sound ridiculous.

In fact, on casual reading it appears to be a fancy polarizing filter that's also sensitive to coherence.

It's pretty straightforward. Instead of simple counting on your fingers you treat your right thumb as a 5, your left fingers as 10s and your left thumb as a 50, which lets you count to ten on one hand or a hundred on both. It's fairly obvious once you understand digital notation, but you could also teach the concept using it, just like an abacus.

If you really wanted to get carried away you could treat your fingers as binary digits and count to 1024.

The systems aren't creative they're just really really fancy search engines that regurgitate what they have ingested.

Are we still saying this? These systems have solved a wide variety of open math problems some of which were borderline famous.

But what are the practical implications of that? Isn't it just as likely that those math problems haven't been solved because there was not any particularly good reason to solve them?

'Dem goal posts are a walking.

I don't know of any hybrid vehicles ever available with a manual transmission, so you're trying to compare the efficiency of ICE vehicles vs. hybrid vehicles not manual vs automatic/CVT transmissions. Engine/motors and transmissions aren't the same things. :-)

I'm 63 and have always owned vehicles with a manual transmission and have never found it distracting, though perhaps a bit tedious in stop-and-go traffic. In any case, other may not be (more) distracted either. From Manual transmission enhances attention and driving performance of ADHD adolescent males: pilot study

I guess it really just depends on the person/driver...

Don't play it too often, the laser will wear it out. ;-)

I checked recently and Honda only has 2 models available with a manual transmission: Civic Type R ($47.400) and Civic Si ($31,500). The rest of their ICE vehicles are now only available with a CVT. Their hybrid vehicles come with their Two-Motor Hybrid-Electric Powertrain - which uses the electric propulsion motor at low-speeds and adds the ICE at highway speeds via a lockup clutch so there isn't really a transmission. The second (generator) motor and also ICE are used for charging the battery.

While I'd probably really enjoy the Civic Type R or Si, if I ever need/want to replace my 2001 Civic Ex (136k miles) or 2002 CR-V Ex (62k miles) - both manuals and in excellent condition - with another Honda, I'd probably get one of the hybrids as a dislike CVTs and their hybrid power-train seems better.

And yet, not a Trump supporter. :-)
