You got a .de Domain. I looked for an imprint to see if that solo dev with the right tools was a fellow German, but I didn’t find any. Any details on who you are and how you came to build this? Also, your landing page sounds quite different than what you are pitching here. Are these two different projects? Thx
That isn’t the point. The point is that it’s not enough to figure out that there is an obstacle. You also have to figure out what that obstacle is, and you have to predict its movement. In the case of pedestrian, the car, for example, needs to know whether the pedestrian has seen you. Things like that you just cannot do with LiDAR. Hence you’re gonna need cameras anyway. Hence tge “anyone relying on LiDAR is doomed” prediction.
So I guess in the 90s they would’ve sued Adobe for not putting spyware into Photoshop?
If you believe in democracy, and the rule of law, and citizenship, then the responsibility obviously lies with people who create and publish pictures, not the makers of tools.
Think of it. You can use a phone camera to produce illegal pictures. What kind of a world would we live in if Apple was required to run an AI filter on your pics to determine whether they comply with the laws?
A different question is if X actually hosts generated pictures that are illegal in the UK. In that case, X acts as a publisher, and you can sue them along with the creator for removal.
How do you handle PDFs, images, HTML/rich text snippets? Asking because Evernote supported all of those. It’s what keeps me using that app, even though I cringe every time I open it.
The irony is that Apple started out by discovering the the hackability of the hardware and software they found in their time. Instead of leaving something like that behind for those who come after them, to pay back what was given to them, they build walled gardens where you’re just not allowed to “bump into the walls too much”.
It's a good read, actually. Includes actual specifics from the conversations, how the user phrased his requests, how ChatGPT responded, and why safety systems seemed to have failed (ChatGPT generally has a policy of not giving advice on illicit drug use, but that broke down here).
Makes sense. If you’re too specific early on, you miss everything that you didn’t expect. Much better to be open first, and then do the filtering afterwards, based on what you observe.
He who fights monsters should take care not to become one in the process.
That you guys had presidents that didn’t fall into this trap is the reason you and I are ariund today.
William Inboden, The Peacemaker:
> In America’s last fight against totalitarianism, President Franklin Roosevelt had demanded the unconditional surrender of both Nazi Germany and imperial Japan. In the context of total war, against implacable dictators such as Adolf Hitler and Hideki Tojo, Roosevelt’s insistence on unconditional surrender made strategic sense. Such a demand did not fit the Cold War. Much as Reagan looked to Roosevelt and World War II as a model for how the free world should confront dictatorships in thrall to evil ideologies, in the case of the Cold War and the Soviet Union, calling for “unconditional surrender” from Moscow would have been delusional and foolhardy—especially since Reagan remained desperate to prevent the Cold War from turning hot and ending in nuclear apocalypse.
Government buying more fire trucks is a poor measure for increased incidence of actual fires. They might just be signaling, fall for marketing, and lots of other things. Governments are run by people, and they are as fallible as any rando on HN.
