Another nice benefit of this would be location tracking. Once you had established the database of tools and the CV setup to recognize them, you could ask the LLM, “where did I last place my Stanley knife”?
Exactly. The challenge isn’t getting the LLMs to make sure they validate their own code. It’s getting the LLMs to write the correct code in the first place. Adding more and more LLM-generated test code just obfuscates…
Well, the water analogy actually holds up quite well if you consider the charge field moving, not the electrons themselves. This guy has a lot of great videos using water channels to explain electricity. It is…
I am curious, what explanation would justify a full closure of the airspace over a major us city for 10 days, in your opinion? That is the real screwup here. Whatever justification they are giving is entirely beside the…
They have confirmed it was for testing a counter-drone weapon. They did not say why they set it to expire in 10 days, that part seems like it was probably a mistake.
Hanlon’s Razor "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Someone probably just screwed up
Quite literally, the previous post on this blog is from 2024 talking about what a revolution the Rabbit R1 is. We all know how that turned out. This is why I give every new trendy developer tool a few months to see if…
The model generates camera and Lidar data. As if it was a Waymo car that drove through the simulated scenario with its cameras running. This synthetic training data can then be used to train the driving models.
My view on Waymo and autonomous taxis in general is they will eventually make public transit obsolete. Once there is a robotaxi available to pick up and drop off every passenger directly from a to b, the whole system…
I would strongly recommend this podcast episode with Andrej Karpathy. I will poorly summarize it by saying his main point is that AI will spread like any other technology. It’s not going to be a sudden flash and…
The problem is it can be subjective. Some people really like the “smooth motion” effect, especially if they never got used to watching 24fps films back in the day. Others, like me, think seeing stuff at higher refresh…
I feel like I’ve figured out a good workflow with AI coding tools now. I use it in “Planning mode” to describe the feature or whatever I am working on and break it down into phases. I iterate on the planning doc until…
A nice practice that I try to follow it to always spell out what any Three Letter Acronyms (TLAs) the first time they are used. Then from that point onwards the simple TLA can be used. In this case, BPF (shorthand for…
What is the value proposition for buying one of these vs renting time on similar hardware from a cloud provider?
The same problem actually already exists for non-drone planes, because they must be able to operate in poor visibility conditions. FAA issues notams for construction cranes if they pose a risk to nearby airports. One…
I would tend to agree, I think dev time is better spent supporting Proton. I have even seen benchmarks where Proton on Linux outperforms Windows. As a Steam Deck owner, Proton is fantastic.…
Yeah I’m not seeing any evidence that this actually works. I would’ve like to see some testing where they intentionally introduce a bug (ideally a tricky bug in a part of code that isn’t directly changed by the diff)…
I swear I read in a text book once that Fourier discovered this while a boat. He looked out at the waves on the ocean and saw how there were many different sized waves combining to make up the larger waves. I could…
This seems like a smart option, that would also allow power cycling the machine remotely I’m assuming, in case it goes totally out to lunch.
I use VS Code with Claude Code, then I just use Xcode to build and launch
Honestly the train system in NYC is so good, I have only taken a cab a few times since I moved here. I’ll probably take a waymo once if they roll it out here for the novelty of it, but I’d rather see people getting…
As long as they make it easy to add a “made with AI” tag to the PR, it seems like there’s really no downside. I personally can’t imagine why someone would want to hide the fact they used AI. A contractor would not try…
I’ve had more success this way as well. I will use the model via web ui, paste in the relevant code, and ask it to implement something. It spits out the code, I copy it back into the ide, and build. I tried Claude Code…
Not to mention, at that point they are essentially just serving as the middle man between you and a LLM. Instead of paying for Duolingo to ask an LLM to generate a bunch of Spanish phrases for you, you can pay for the…
Yeah it’s kind of like we have invented a car that drives around wildly in any direction, and we are trying to steer it by putting up guard rails to get it to go where we want. What we need is to invent the steering…
