Isn't another issue that most successful open models are distilled from closed models, but closed models are putting more and better safeguards against distillation?
No? The only different between these robots and a washing machine is that in theory, the robot is generalist and can do many tasks, whereas a washing or laundry machine can only do one task. You can still in theory fully control what task the robot works on. Also, in theory, the robot would be the glue between all the other machines, like filling up the washing machine, then moving it to the dryer, etc. It deciding what to do isn't a "prerequisite" for the robot.
SpaceX has had 165 launches in 2025 (although admittedly 75% of those were for Starlink...) Obviously bigger isn't more economical or sensical, and most cases are served just fine with the Falcons, but there are cases we need the big boy for, and it's good that someone is working on it and has made so much progress.
Obviously a semblance of a schedule is good to have, but realistically, that's not really how research works. Look at James Webb telescope, it was originally scheduled for 2007, and ended up launching 14 years later. It's still an amazing piece of engineer/science, and it's amazing that it's up there now, even if it was very late to it. It's much better to be late and successful than early and failing.
Even better, since everything is well organized, you can add `opacity: 0.7` to `.wall` specifically, and get something that looks almost exactly like how old school wallhacks looked like.
Sometimes I'm developing an internal tool or something only for myself / handful of people. I'm perfectly fine saving time and complexity using a one liner modern CSS solution instead of having to rely on some hacky unreadable code to support 10 years of legacy browsers.
Yep, Tile I believe is the only third party service that exists. All other trackers either plug into "Apple Find My" or "Android Find My Device" network. There's finally starting to be a few devices that can do both, but they're rare, so make sure you get the right one when buying. But they take 10s to setup and it's very smooth.
Atuvos one at 1.6mm and UGreen one at 1.7mm are great, though one time battery is annoying. There are some that have wireless charging, though thicker.
You can buy 4 third-party trackers for the price of 1 official one.
They do lack UWB, though there are other great form factors such as cards, and cool features such as wireless charging or usb-c charging, which imo is nicer than swapping batteries every few months.
That's awesome. I'm glad that trackers have reached a price point, reliability and form factors that I can easily put one in everything I care about. I even have card ones in my wallet, my steam deck / e-reader case, etc.
Also, most of these have usb-c / wireless charging, so I don't have to mess with random cell batteries every 6 months.
> So they're like, buying into a depreciating asset
Part of the issue is that the average age of the House is ~55 and for the senate it's above 60. So they have a lot less incentive to care about that, or about climate change.
Anything before L4 is "driver assist", which means at the end of the day, the buck stops at the driver. Anything beyond L4, the car itself drives without requiring supervision, which makes a big difference. It's your responsibility to use lane assist in a reasonable way, it's not your responsibility to control how an L4 drives anymore. That's the point of self-driving, the "self" is responsible.
functional programming has a lot of wonderful concepts, which are very interesting in theory, but in practice, the strictness of it edges on annoying and greatly hurts velocity.
Python has a lot of functional-like patterns and constructs, but it's not a pure functional language. Similarly, Python these days allow you to adds as much type information as you want which can provide you a ton of static checks, but it's not forced you like other typed languages. If some random private function is too messy to annotate and not worth it, you can just skip it.
I like the flexibility, since it leads to velocity and also just straight up more enjoyable.
is that per Capita? Also, At least they are going in the right direction with most metrics (switching to electric, installing renewable, planting trees, etc), whereas the US (under Trump) is hellbent on getting rid of renewables, focusing on coal/fossil fuel, slowing down electric cars, destroying national parks, etc.
One piece I'd like to see more clarification on is, is he doing multiple samples per pixel (like with ray tracing?). For his 1280x720 resolution video, that's around 900k pixels, so at 30Khz, it would take around 30s to record one of these videos if he were to doing one sample per pixel. But in theory he could run this for much longer and get a less noisy image.
I find it interesting that a project like this would easily be a PhD paper, but nowadays Youtubers do it just for the fun of it.
So you're basically saying that you can spend as much money to get a knife that will cut as well but requires regular work put into it, whereas this doesn't? I think that's the whole pitch here...
I asked it something simple, list some good indie puzzle games, and half the answers are games that don't exist. Imo quality > speed.
