When I made this comment I was unaware that this most recent launch had in fact also ended in an explosion.

I guess the next defense will be it only exploded after safely delivering payload

Jev noob here. I'm seeing all this jev talk and I understand the difference between this and normal models, but what are some actual use cases for jev?

Also European, also an optimist.

I just am surprised by how often this thing blows up and how much success is claimed.

I can't think of another field where the thing you're building exploding 25% of the time is considered progress. Even missiles :)

I don't own any stock and I don't care about stock prices.

You've pointed out 4 of 14 starship flights experienced explosions, and this was to argue AGAINST my comment that every other one explodes. Internet actually says 5 failures out of 14 but let's say 4. Thats one in every 3.5 launches explodes, so far. Would you put on a spacesuit and get in one? I just find it harder and harder to buy that this thing is going to bring people to the moon in one piece, whatever about a million new starlink satellites or server farms in space or whatever

There are a lot of angry comments here talking about how I don't understand the company and they're super successful, and it's true that falcon 9 has a very low failure rate. But starship has a very high one and I don't think Im out of line to say that.

I'm sure people who raised concerns about the cybertruck were also yelled at about how great the other Tesla vehicles are, and damn if this thing doesn't feel like the cybertruck of space

You're confusing demo with technology.

The potential to lose weight, in this context, is the original post because there was potential but it wasn't shown

This commenter is the person who lost 13kg.

The technology is not different but the demonstration is more impressive

Is nobody concerned about putting things in a ship that explodes every other time they launch it

Sorry but anytime I see this now it just seems like marketing bullshit

Slop patterns are so obvious now, it seems silly that there was a time we couldn't tell when things were AI

"Build me a HTML table"

"Table built.

Two things worth flagging..."

BRO

My mother had this same thing, closed her laptop in a panic and it was gone when she restarted

For every highly customized piece of software there are a thousand people who don't know they need it. This is the whole concept of software in the first place.

Depends when you're asking

As I understand it, it's sent p2p between the two devices

I'm most surprised that we actually heard about this and it wasn't buried, because it's a terrible look for the military and illustrates exactly what the AI alarmists are talking about lately, totally counter to what the administration and the DOD are pushing

I could have sworn this already happened over a year ago

It's not the word I'm taking issue with, it's the concept. From your post you are surprised that the model makes mistakes and does not recognize things, and these are only surprising if you imagine the models to be thinking about things.

We can argue about words like thinking and intelligence all day long, and so can an LLM. But at the end of the day the LLM is only mimicking the processes you or I use.

Last week I tried out gpt sol 5.6 and asked it to count the letter r in a massive string of letters, without using an external app. It succeeded until I made the garbage sentence suitably large and then it consistently, confidently failed. Each time the "thinking" showed that it was teething to find a "gotcha" each time. "Ah, the first time I forgot to count the letters in the instruction itself" etc. at no point did it just understand that it had miscounted. It seems to be incapable of considering that it just made a regular mistake. Even a six year old child would just try again the same way and end up with the right answer

> I am somewhat surprised to see some of the errors current models make given their intelligence

They have no intelligence. These are very very very refined prediction engines.

> A common set is having Claude take some product photos and turn them into lifestyle ones using ChatGPT via Claude in Chrome. It's a pretty well-honed workflow at this point, but it'll still return images where the product is obviously not correct and seemingly not notice them.

Obvious to you or I, or someone with actual intelligence. But things like this slip by a frontier model in the same way AI from a few years ago would generate an image with seven fingers. They do not count. They do not understand. They do not consider.

No matter how good these models appear to be at intelligent tasks, it's foolish to give them "a company" to run, because they cannot understand when they've made a mistake the way even the least competent human can.

In my limited experience, in h2 this year, LLMs were kind of shit at building Mobile apps. I had to switch TO react native because the flutter app it built me was a horrible buggy mess and I couldn't debug it myself because I don't speak dart. At least with react native I can kind of get in the weeds if needed

Well it's actually not, if you read my post you'd see that I use AI at work for everything, and I'm going back to hand coding for one of my more important side projects. I still use LLMs for less important work

I actually use vscode but I've not used find replace for months so I forgot how

I normally would use find replace in vscode but I either forgot that existed or I was enjoying myself too much

The performance was never in question, it's the control I missed

This happens when you have people at the top of the chain who don't use the product and people at the bottom who are afraid to speak up, or use it so much they can't see the problems.

When you're in a cockpit you're pushing the stick forward to dive, up key on the keyboard is often what we use to represent that but it's not a perfect analogy.

Second this. I've been trying to build a casual flying game in unity and getting the physics right is hard.

What I found particularly hard is simulating accurately how gravity works against the aircrafts momentum, and trying to get stall and recovery right

You can't replace the blades on a single use razor any more than you can replace the bristles on a toothbrush

Another point, to counter the " plastic bags are cheap, cotton is expensive" argument, is that most of the reusable bags are plastic too. They are way cheaper to produce than cotton bags, and earn their keep within about 5 to 10 uses as opposed to 100 or whatever the crazy figure was for cotton bags.

> Our dull corporate press is unsurprisingly obsessed with wealth. If you make large gobs of money you are inherently very smart, skilled, and good. Absolutely everything else is a pesky afterthought. It's why Elon Musk, an unremarkable bigot cosplaying as a supergenius engineer, so easily enamoured a shaky U.S. media for the fifteen year run up to his recreational ketamine-fueled nazi ego implosion.

What a fantastic piece of writing. I reread this five times.

The op literally didn't do anything to explain it. Thanks for some context
