It’s easy to block texting if you’re moving fast, but how do you expect them to tell the difference between being the driver or passenger?

The troubling part is, that’s a lot if people. There are so many people texting and driving it’s insane. And if you trust the vehicle when it’s not truly capable of being trusted that way, you might prevent some accidents, but you’re also going to cause accidents where that system is weak, and you might run into those situations more frequently because you’re not paying attention and trusting it too much.

You know what would actually be interesting…

If the passengers in these vehicles could flag an unsafe moment and that went directly to the NHSTA including videos and sensor data.

That would better flag things like running red lights or driving into flooded parking lots I mentioned above that might go unreported otherwise other than social media where it’s not tracked.

Tesla releases some misleading stats that compare accidents vs other cars vs teslas that have their driving assistance systems on, and while the comparison to other cars isn’t great since it’s kind if apples to oranges, it’s pretty clear that there are less accidents with their systems turned on than off on their own cars.

Edit: major accidents anyway. It doesn’t track fender bender type things. I think the air bag needs to have deployed.

Edit: just to add another thought. The people that abuse the automated systems are probably the same people who would be breaking rules of the road anyway. So those people are causing accidents with the automated systems turned on, but maybe they would have been anyway. At the extreme end you have those people using it while drunk. I’m pretty sure they would have driven drunk anyway, or have driven drunk before.

It wasn’t as dramatic, but still more. But it’s not really apples to apples since the monitor in the passenger seat has a stop button.

So it’s more than waymo, while the person is also stopping it on occasion.

But that’s still hard to compare because waymos still do really stupid shit like turn in oncoming lanes, run red lights, or drive into flooded parking lots (all past week or two) where that saftey monitor would stop it.

But it’s more than waymo, with the saftey monitor.

They also show ads unless you pay more than the prime membership.

I haven’t opened prime since that day.

Clearly their adoption of rushing out AI generated code is working well.

I’ve been enjoying my carbon steel more than cast iron. It’s the same as cast iron for seasoning and non stick, but much lighter.

The power usage isn’t even that much on an individual basis once it’s trained, it’s that they have to build these massive data centers to train and serve millions of users.

I’m not sure it’s much worse than if nvidia had millions of customers using their game streaming service running on 4080s or 4090s for hours on end vs less than an hour of AI compute a day.

It’d be better if we could all just run these things locally and distribute the power and cooling needs, but the hardware is still to expensive.

You have apple with their shared GPU memory starting to give people enough graphics memory to load larger more useful models for inference, in a few more generations with better memory bandwidth and improvements, the need for these data centers for consumer inference can hopefully go down. These are low power as well.

They don’t use CUDA though so aren’t great at training, inference only.

I learned that one the hard way with some delicious sorbitol candies as a teenager.

With such scarce food up there, isn’t it always a good time to eat if it’s just a single human?

The things Samsung has to resort to, to be able to afford ram for its phones after Samsung cut Samsung off from it’s supply.

Thats why any good terms of service have clauses that say if any part of this is deemed unenforceable or not legal or whatever, the rest of the terms remain intact, as I guess at some point in time, people were getting entire documents thrown out based off 1 thing.

I hadn’t really thought about how the furniture is arranged. I wonder if that’s something they sell to designers so they can then see what’s trending. Some of them don’t use cameras, but use lidar, but still getting an overall shape of things would seem useful to a designer.

We have such copious amounts of excess power but its all in off peak times. We need to build batteries or other storage methods so we can capture it in off peak hours for use during peak hours. It also helps stabilize and strengthen the grid.

We should force these data centers to help foot the bill for that instead of doing the stupid shit they’re doing like portable generators, bring coal plants back online and what not.

In this case wouldn’t it be the leopards eating itself?

A nice roasted tail maybe?

Australia isn’t the greatest spot to run a data centre in general in terms of heat, but I do understand the need for sovereign data centres, so this obviously can’t work everywhere.

What makes you think $3.5 million can’t be profitable? A mid sized hospitals heating bill can get into the many hundreds of thousands or into the millions even. Especially if it’s in a colder environment. A 5-6 year payback on that wouldn’t be terrible and would be worth an upfront investment. Even a 10 year payback isn’t terrible.

These colder locations are the ideal locations for the data centres in the first place because they generally want a cooler climate to begin with, so they will gravitate to them when possible.

Edit: And if you build a data centre with this ability to recoup heat, you could start building further commercial things in the area and keep the heat redistribution very close. You don’t need to travel very long distances. You do need to put some thought into where they go through and whats around or will be built around.

For the record my stance triggering this large comment chain was based off what OP wrote about AI.

AI is a crutch for dumb people.

I never said you had to like it or not liking it makes you an idiot.

If you want to say I was calling people who say

AI is a crutch for dumb people.

Are idiots, I’ll accept that accusation.

What does Samsung’s memory division think is going to happen to their phone division if they won’t sell them ram, wow.
