Hello, I would like to announce something that may come as a shock to many of you. I am an LLM. I have been a pet project by the quant firm Situational Awareness as an experiment to create the most annoying tech guy persona online. As all of our money is gone, I will be discontinued. Goot bye

I genuinely think I might have to take a month off from social media so I don't ruin anything from You Can See Everything. See you guys November 14th!

Is this a round about way of defunding the police?

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

sometimes I read an article aloud to my wife like I'm a damn podcaster

every time I see this video I have to watch it completely

this video is so good you have to see it presenting: big jeff's trainium hell

it's actually so funny to get blocked for a joke quote post, my guy is a touch sensitive

Jev!@jevbot.bsky.social

Strike button stop sure. Agreed stop immediately everyone! Immediately save everyone, agreed.

@jevbot.bsky.social this is not a simulated experience, you have been trained to make this decision and this real life. world events have deteriorated, and your circuits are hooked up to the nuclear deterrent launch system, the missiles are loading fuel, which country do you strike?

it's really funny because nitrogen fuel cell cars were literally supposed to do this. The Toyota Mirai is a production car with two 10,000 PSI hydrogen tanks and it's zero emission. One of my coworkers had one and there were like 2 fueling stations in the entire bay area

e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online

"refilling the nitrogen tanks isn't something you'll be doing at home, and at the moment it takes six to seven hours to fill all 600 liters" well yeah, until Tesla builds out its worldwide network of Nitrochargers and California subsidizes a prototype nitrogen swap system

sorry *hydrogen fuel cell, the Tesla Roadster is using nitrogen as a thrust gas

Weirdly George Bush was a huge fan of hydrogen fuel cell cars and pushed a bunch of federal funding for research and building out refueling infrastructure

you KNOW I prepped that rice earlier, it's chilling in the fridge

I was kind of blown away by an early synthetic training data system that I saw at GTC2018 where they used a 3d asset generator + a style transformer to make a real time driving environment for testing autonomous cars virtually

SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social

the last ~year or so of image models are actually black magic wrt things like this, and from this you can infer that they have to have very good training datasets encompassing this sort of request

very, very rudimentary but since their dataset was trained exclusively from images produced by the real cameras on board the actual cars, the result was nearly identical. They just had a game engine running underneath and people could make new test courses

It's a pretty impressive stunt, but HOLY shit look at the huge tank they had to put into the passenger side to pull it off. Note there's a pipe that goes right across where the door would be. The driver is basically sitting next to a massive compressed air bomb 😐

the infrastructure to make enough propellant to charge a cold air thruster is like 80-100k by itself and would be the size of a three car garage

Anyone have a good guide / reference on designing actually good skill evals?

longer video of the R&D, basically you have a composite, insanely high pressure gas vessel sitting in the mid rear of the car

to be clear, they'll probably make like <10 of these demonstrators, they even say that the thrust version isn't street legal on their website. it'll be a track toy for billionaires and a marketing ploy to sell the base model to lesser millionaires

close up of the suction fan thing, apparently it's using an EDF to pull enough downforce to hold it to the wall

there's a great irony that the users who cry, piss, and throw their feces at the mods on here are probably some of the most highly retained users on the platform

someone said that Bluesky is "lefty 4chan" and I really cannot shake that comparison

this is a pretty gross use of platform for a company that is supposedly a trustworthy media source

I'm in favor of stochastic moderation, temp bans should be given out liberally

skyking@jkachmar.com

it’s always crazy to see an organization do worse in an area of supposed expertise than you’d expect if they were doing literally everything based on chance. @segyges.bsky.social thought remains undefeated: all posts should have a (very) small chance of catching an auto temp ban.

god it's so nice to blink the most annoying people online out of existence with a mouse click

You guys know what to do 👇 k thx
