Now we just need to replace every driver with her and we'll all be super-safe!

Would she, perhaps, like to be cloned or live in a Docker container?

Many of the popular tools and workflows have a bad habit of downloading a model quite frequently, even if they have been downloaded before. This is especially the case when it is being distributed over several GPUs and each only downloads a portion of the model.
This is combined with countless models uploaded to huggingface which are fine-tunes, quantizations, etc, that he probably counts in those totals.
There some ML test workflows download the model each time a new commit is made to their frameworks.
I would buy a billion downloads of all that put together, though nowhere near a billion unique downloaders.

I'll just ask the echo to read me the text from "Go the F**K to sleep" and I'll have saved 96 cents already!

There was a bit of an annoyance if you have multiple Teslas. While the app works fine without the internet, the bluetooth key only works for the car you currently have selected. During the outage I was unable to switch my selected car, and thus couldn't use the bluetooth to open feature. I just used the keycard though.

While the media takeaway isn't the greatest, the actual interview is quite worth listening to. It's a little bit like a Carmack keynote in interview form. Though if you follow Carmack, a reasonable amount of it won't be new to you.

Yeah, the frame rate really sucked back when the pixels were getting updated by hand!

I previously tried the eGPU developer kit, but rarely used it since it wouldn't connect to my 5K monitor and was noisy.

I wanted something I could leave connected all the time and still have my MBP just connect up to everything with 1 cable.

I'm pretty happy with it, it made my MBP much faster for 3d, it works with my 5K monitor and it's very quiet. If anything, it actually makes my overall setup a little quieter since the mac's fans no longer spin up due to the 5K monitor load.

I have a PC I use for VR which is still faster, but for 95% of what I want to do, this is great, and it avoids me needing to touch Windows most of the time.

So I guess portal cores are an actual thing now

I agree, I'm pretty sure things are accelerating pretty rapidly.

I took delivery of my model 3 last week. When I was taking delivery in Bellevue I met a couple employees who were flown in from Texas to help out with the increased load. (They are moving from West to East in deliveries.)

There were at least 5 or 6 other Model 3s in the delivery area waiting for pickup.

I have 2 friends who have also gotten their notifications to do configuration of their orders. (It took about 2.5 weeks from when I got the notification until when I took delivery)

I just have to say... Scientists have awesome names.

Because I'm insane, I actually own both of them and have spent a fair amount of time using each. (Was an original kickstarter backer so they sent me a CV1, then I also bought a Vive)

I like the actual headset part from Oculus better, and they currently have more games that are actually fleshed out games instead of tech demos.
Built in headphones are also way less of a pain than providing your own as well.

However, the Vive room-scale & hand controllers makes it a better overall experience. Standing, walking around, and using your hands just makes it vastly more immersive. It will be interesting to see if any of this changes after the Oculus touch controllers are released, but I am skeptical that they will be able to do room-scale tracking that's as accurate as the vive just by adding another camera. Even though I don't think they will, I'm hopeful they do, however, because I really do like the greater level of polish the Oculus device has.

Amusingly enough, I ordered a Vive after it was released and got it about 2 weeks ago. A friend of mine who preordered a Rift very early (possibly first day?) still hasn't gotten his.

I ordered within the first 24 hours and got my DK2 a couple weeks ago.
I also have a DK1

My initial impressions

- Screen certainly much improved. I like how vibrant the OLED makes things.
- Screen door effect much reduced, but certainly not eliminated.
- The low persistence display seems to help considerably with the previous blurring on head movement problem.
- Much easier to position on your head such that everything is crisp and clear.
- Having head position tracked in addition to orientation feels much more natural.
- Having your head position suddenly not tracked because you went out of the FOV of the tracking camera is very jarring.
- The FOV of the display seems slightly reduced from the DK1, reducing peripheral vision.
- No more breakout box & power supply being optional does not mean the setup is any less complicated. Now there's a camera to worry about along with a new sync cable connecting the camera and the headset.
- Chromatic effects, especially near the peripheries.

Overall, a very solid improvement over the DK1.

I actually talk about it (and the google cardboard I have) a bit on a podcast I contribute to.
Aliens Land here

I went there with my son who was 3 at the time as well as my wife. It was fun and they had some neat things. Some of the exhibits were clearer than others. The light-floor, for example, was great for kids to entertain themselves on, but actually figuring out what was going on could be tricky, even if you read the description. (This is because it cycled through a number of algorithms.)
