mavhc··on The weirdest QNX bug I've encountered (2021)

The only way a second standard can survive is by being open source. A 3rd? Very unlikely

mavhc··on From 0/10 to 8/10: Microsoft Puts Repair Front and Center

Mostly I replace batteries, screens and keyboards. Sometimes the power input or ssd.

Relay horses

mavhc··on Super Heavy has splashed down in The Gulf of Mexico

Works 24/7 with 0 atmospheric reduction.

You can send the power via microwaves so less interference, problem is the largish ground based capture device.

Apparently $200/kg makes it economic, Starship is aiming for more like $2/kg

mavhc··on Super Heavy has splashed down in The Gulf of Mexico

You can tell the ship still exists because the telemetry still updates

Has to be large to be reusable due to scaling factors.

We can finally start sending useful amounts of things into space, millions of solar panels for one

mavhc··on Microsoft blocks Windows 11 workaround that enabled local accounts

Not like users are paying for Windows unless they buy a computer with it on already, they don't care about the 0.1% who build their own computer, when they can get 2% of people to use OneDrive and then pay monthly for a service

mavhc··on AMD Unveils Ryzen 9000 CPUs for Desktop, Zen 5

You want your NPCs to be limited in their conversations, to only follow a set few paths, if you think of a way to play the game that's not been anticipated years ago, you don't want that to be possible

mavhc··on How Waymo outlasted the competition and made robo-taxis a real business

Need to add some smell sensors to the inside of the car, as well as the cameras

mavhc··on How Waymo outlasted the competition and made robo-taxis a real business

Do you think that Waymo doesn't have cameras inside the car?

You're saying that the generative AI will produce as many people from another culture as there are those people in the world? That the training set is 60% asian people?

mavhc··on Starlink's disruption of the space industry

And all it's got him is the richest person in the world, with the best selling model car, most of the space launch industry, a global isp, and some minor social network the news media are obsessed with

mavhc··on Starlink's disruption of the space industry

Tesla: 2.8 billion Ford: 7.7 billion

It's chatgpt wearing a hat and sunglasses

mavhc··on Llama3 implemented from scratch

So there's no point in trying to make a more unbiased mirror?

mavhc··on Which Electric Cars Have Bidirectional Charging (V2L, V2G, V2H)

https://octopus.energy/smart/intelligent-octopus-go/ UK power company offering that, if you have a compatible car/charger they can control for you

mavhc··on Llama3 implemented from scratch

The point is there's bias in the system already, we should attempt to fix it, just in a better way than Google's attempt

mavhc··on Llama3 implemented from scratch

10th century Spain was Muslim

A study of a Black Death cemetery in London found that 20% of people sampled were not white

mavhc··on Llama3 implemented from scratch

Encoding our current biases into LLMs is one way to go, but there's probably a better way to do it.

Your leap to "thou shalt not search this" is missing the possible middle ground

mavhc··on Llama3 implemented from scratch

They're suggesting that 99.99% of people don't mind if AI reflects biases of society. Which is weird because I'm pretty sure most people in the world aren't old white middle class Americans

mavhc··on Deutsche Bahn introduces "MetaWindow"

how is protecting your walls like killing you?

mavhc··on The Downfall of DeviantArt

People who hate nudity will organise protests and get news coverage, giving more voice to a minority. Same with anything, the ones massively for/against something will spend money time/money on complaining that the passive majority. See gun control in US for an example

mavhc··on Deutsche Bahn introduces "MetaWindow"

Definitely not violence though?

mavhc··on Deutsche Bahn introduces "MetaWindow"

What if I apply a protective coating to an unprotected wall, using my own money to supply the materials?

Goes back to 3.1

mavhc··on Apple and Google deliver support for unwanted tracking alerts in iOS and Android

True, given that the average android phone probably needs 100s of CVEs patching, it's kinda weird that there's not obvious epidemic of phones being hacked

mavhc··on GPT-4o

Don't need AI to murder people, a gun with an actuator on the trigger can murder people easily, add rnd to it and it can murder people at random
