Why can't Flock do a "customer setup" that is otherwise sandboxed from their systems and let the white hats go nuts on that? Content is not the same as configuration and they could get valuable information if they cared.
I'm divided. On the one hand, a quiet, unobtrusive cafe in the library seems nice. On the other hand, I like the library precisely because it has so little of the advertising/commercial bullshit of every day. A cafe AND…

At it's heart, this post is: if you own it, do what you want with it. For a big book, cutting it up might be desired. Even though book lovers everywhere decry such a move, it's their book. Obviously there is zero resale…
If I take your two sentence comment and remove one sentence it also is non-sensical. Stop removing context. >Your mileage went from VW->telematics vendor->broker->carfax, thats the chain it usually follows. The fuse…
Couldn't this be a browser extension?
Read their last sentence again.
Seems like a standing wave thing to halt airflow rather than "overpower with Bill & Ted's Awesomeness!". Depending on what they have going, it might be loud, might not.
I hated Battlestar Galactica for this.

Yup. So often with AI output, I want to know the prompt the human wrote instead.
Information density tho'...

The thing about stats is outliers exist. Whether those outliers themselves are interesting is another matter.
Curious, would electric flight be significantly quieter such that airport noise is significantly less of an issue? Or is the noise from turbulence through the air or something? I honestly would think they'd be…
Honestly, I want a little one for my lawn. Set the boundaries and let it go at midnight to quietly wander the lawn and spray the weeds. If it could spray into nearby garden beds too, so much the better. Being infinitely…

People think robots in terms of humanoid or number-5 style robots. I think it'll be more capable appliances at first. Like a lawn mowing device that also spots weeds and can spray them. Next iteration has arms to rip…
You are absolutely correct that the LLM vs Regulation relationship would be adversarial. This is why there is the saying: regulations are written in blood. Mankind has been on a blast improving the understanding and…
Again, engineers know what needs to be tested, how, to what degree, with which materials, and with what safety margin. Your widget that mankind may never understand. Well, that's just like anything else in the world.…

Engineers know what needs to be tested, how, to what degree, with which materials, and with what safety margin. AI can be trained on that body of work. But then AI has enough issues in output that it needs to be…
We should rephrase things in % terms. IE this payout is X% of their net profit from last year.
