Can someone do an ELI5, and why this is important?

No (human) developer would _add_ tests. ^/s

> If a model draws a really good picture of a pelican riding a bicycle there's a solid chance it will be great at all sorts of other things.

Why?

If I hired a worker that was really good at drawing pelicans riding a bike, it wouldn't tell me anything about his/her other qualities?!

> It's not nessessarily the best benchmark, it's a popular one, probably because it's funny.

> Yes it's like the wine glass thing.

No, it's not!

That's part of my point; the wine glass scenario is a _realistic_ scenario. The pelican riding a bike is not. It's a _huge_ difference. Why should we measure intelligence (...) in regards to something that is realistic and something that is unrealistic?

I just don't get it.

> We are getting to the point that its not unreasonable to think that "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" could be included in some training data.

I may be stupid, but _why_ is this prompt used as a benchmark? I mean, pelicans _can't_ ride a bicycle, so why is it important for "AI" to show that they can (at least visually)?

The "wine glass problem"[0] - and probably others - seems to me to be a lot more relevant...?

> after 2 days both the cable internet and cell towers went down, so even 5G would not have helped.

I discovered the same thing the hard way myself recently (in Norway); turns out that cell towers only has enough battery for ~24-36 hours (if you're lucky).

However, someone messing with the fibre to my house is a bigger possibility than power outage, so I'll probably end up with this 5G product. :)

If a normal person did this, the SEC would almost certainly call it insider trading.

> humans generally have a crash, whether they are at fault or not, every 700,000 miles. Tesla has 7 in probably ~300,000 miles

This is the important part.

I'm a "big tagger", and I have no problem with it. I don't control the type of traffic going through it, though; from my understanding, TCP/UDP wouldn't make much of a difference?

Only thing that goes on my head, but I like the car. :)

> That way they’d finally get the status as data structures and not a hack to layout content on the web.

I remember doing this 25 years ago, but I assume (and hope) it's a huge minority who do this today?

lol. So much coffee found the way through my nose... :D

I haven't heard of Chroma before (sorry about that), but how does it compare to Weaviate?

Remember that Trump doesn't like losers, so because of that "logic" Lovell shouldn't be mourned or remembered.

How so?

Let's say any country create the most powerful - and thus best - LLMs. They over time infiltrate it with their political will. Over 20-30 years, I'd imagine people asking those LLMs will have their minds' shifted.

But. That's just me, my pessimism-sci-fi scenario.

From the article:

> "Even when summing up emissions from tires, brakes, and road wear, BEVs produce 38% less particulate pollution than gas-powered cars before even considering their lack of tailpipe emissions."

This is just bonkers; such amazing imagery! Kudos to everyone involved in this project!

Based on context, you are insinuating that a discussion board like HN _can_ be hard on the CPU alone? If so, how? My guess would be _also_ be that the CPU would have little to do by itself, but that I/O would take the brunt?

As the saying goes: if you don't know if you need something or not, you probably don't need it. :)

I have been using .NET (and LINQ) for many years on a daily basis, and I've yet to run into performance problems that can't be fixed by either rewriting the LINQ statement or do some other quick workarounds.

But will I try out ZLinq? Sure, but I won't create anything that depends on it.

A friend of mine also wants the answer to that question. :-/

How do you handle CI/CD-style automatic deployments with no downtime on dedicated servers? I'm looking for The Perfect (tm) solution myself.

_Alleged_ manifesto. We still don't know if it's real.

At last some positive news about my fag breaks. :)

Of course Republicans opposed it. :-/

> We are excited about the upcoming availability of Apache Cassandra 5.0, the project’s major release for 2023!

It also looks like their time machine works.

IMO, no, because killing someone can't be undone. It's a tragedy when someone innocent is sent to prison. Killing someone - and possibly someone innocent - is just unimaginable.

That was my initial thought as well. I'm hoping the original author reads this and can explain, because surely there must be a reason...?

Not a likely solution.
