It uses polyfill.io which is no longer active and has been taken over by malicious actors.

That's where the sign in request is coming from

Agreed, it was a bit of a pain to get running on my Ubuntu machine because I had old amdgpu-dkms-firmware packages installed without realizing it. But now that it's running it's amazing how well it works

The reason why I was curious is that I am running my stuff on a Strix Halo and I get the feeling that this class of devices ( gmktek, minisforum, lenovo, etc. ) seem to becoming a pretty good alternative

I am curious if you implicitly assumed they are Macs or if that's what you are looking for specifically?

What worries me is that FSD in Tesla does seems to sometimes introduce problems in the driving behavior with new updates. I have not experienced this first hand ( don't own one ) but I am following the r/TeslaFSD and it looks like new versions are sometimes regressing on situations that were handled correctly on older versions.

This leads me to believe that FSD is not yet solved to the level we thought and training to handle a certain new thing correcty can degrade handling of other situations

What exactly do you find particularly ugly on this car?

The only thing that is a bit weird to me are the headlights, otherwise I quite like the look.

And isn't it also mostly a transitioning issue. Those open codebases will be constantly scanned for potential security issues and getting more and more hardened. There are probably a lot of easy wins that are going to be discovered over the next few years but it should taper out after a while.

Tangentially related question. Has anyone analyzed if the content that is being converted could break the model.

So let's say you have a super dull pdf ( or even a scan ) that has the same line over and over again, could this get the model into one of those loops that just keep spewing nonsense.

And thinking that further, could someone prompt inject a model with a handwritten note that only gets "activated" once it's in the context?

This is ( or will be in the future ) a surprisingly relevant issue

Kind of yes. The person who does not spam the messages.

What I noticed for myself is that saying no to something is becoming harder by the day because, why wouldn't you try something if it's so cheap to do.

That makes having the strength to say no almost a quality in and of itself.

That is true both for external pressure and internal pressure.

How do you measure the body regularly without potentially introducing problems just by measuring it?

Maybe the solution is to look out for the most silent engineers. Those that output less despite having the ability to create near infinite output.

After digging around a bit I found an unverified claim from 2024 that GPUs in datacenters have a lifespan of 1-3 years

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/datacenter-g...

Others say that moderate load means a lifespan of ~5 years

Not sure what that means but I would assume that a datacenter will start replacing a node once the error rate hits a certain threshold without really investigating why it failed, so the practical lifespan may be shorter than 5 years even if it would technically still be usable enough

I also feel that the GPU/NPU value does not lose money as fast anymore.

What I am wondering though is how long can you run such a system at basically full load without interruption before it starts to just physically degrade.

If I have a H100 and I let it run for 4 years at full throttle does it still have the same theoretical value as it had at the start or are the chips just burning out.

I think I remember that back when the cards used for crypto mining were sold en masse on ebay the advice was to stay away from them because they are more likely to fail?

The funny thing is that the page has a broken Google Tag Manager script

  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

Causing the top of the page show the script and nobody from that site noticing it.

Is the premise of 15-minute cities really that every final destination is walkable within 15 minutes or that you can reach everything you need within 15 minutes?

If I live in a big city with good public transport and have most daily need things walkable within 15 minutes and good public transport connections also within 15 minutes then I can benefit from opportunities that are farther away while also having the locality of the rest of the day to day things.

That's what I personally would consider a 15-minute city

I also think in addition to that the increased speed compounds the problems much quicker. And I don't mean bugs. I mean that duplicated code here, that additional state variable to keep everything going there. Not removing things that should be removed because we can work around that, etc.

It's like building a super tall Jenga tower very quickly but laying the bricks much worse than a careful player.

Sorry for forgetting to post that, and thank you for adding it.

I saw your youtube video, and while I am generally a fan of the small guy against big corps, this was a bit much with all the "I am so afraid to say something but I have to" talk.

So I will hold my judgement until this has been disected a bit more
