I don’t believe that you can use traditional algorithms to teach the car street driving, because there are to many different variations… Even if your autopilot is 99% correct and you drive 20000km a year, you still drive wrong 200km of it.

Exactly!

And this is why, if the problem is solveable, it must be solved by learning models shepherded by expert engineers. The LLMs can take care of the long boring stretches, freeing skilled engineer time to fine-tune an LLM algorithm hybrid for the tricky bits.

I’m inclined to believe the problem is solveable, but since I’m not selling anything, I’m allowed to say “if”. Heh.

Yeah. Current generation learning models can do impressive things in the hands of a skilled engineer, but Elon is leading a round of class warfare against skilled engineers right now.

Shareholders need to decide which they really want to bet on to win.

Makes sense. I’m not picky about which exact risks our entitled overconfident billionaires opt to take.

around 270 million. There are 334 million people in the US, so that’s probably just about everyone.

Yeah.

Including past breaches, it’s unclear if any adult American’s private information remains unbreached.

There’s an ongoing arm chair discussion happening among Cybersecurity folks of how many living adult humans with social security numbers haven’t been breached.

Are there eleven? Are there a thousand? Are there any? We don’t know. We do know it’s not many.

The good(?) news is that new adults are turning 18 every day, and entering their private information into the same systems, soon to be breached in the same ways. So that’s something? I don’t know. Maybe it’s nothing, honestly.

I mean, if anyone ever introduces the average shareholder to those executive decision desk toy spinners, the average CEO is fucked.

Sometimes I’m reminded that there’s always a chance that they go submarine diving or some such with another overconfident crony who thinks their skills got them where they are today.

That out of the way, FSD sucks, and it’s getting worse, not better.

It’s almost like they bet on the AI to teach the AI, rather than continuing to pay for skilled engineers.

Buckle up folks, we’re going to see a lot more of this, across every industry, before the lawsuits go into high gear and anything gets better.

It’s so great.

And the scene is even better on a rewatch.

Yeah. They do still sell Frisbees, though, at least.

Does “Breaking News” on Dropout.tv count…

This is terrific. More folks would be more excited if they realized how much less hassle Podman is than Docker.

That makes sense. Did you also set the path to Nvim in settings.json? I had to do so to clear at least one error.

I also sometimes get that “disconnected” error too, but the have it work fine. I think there’s a race condition and it raises the error right after it starts, but then connects anyway, once everything else is set.

Why would Microsoft fire an employee for holding a vigil, it’s not like they …

…called “No Azure for Apartheid”

Oh. Thanks for drawing attention to this, Microsoft! I appreciate that they’re so willing to invoke the Streisand Effect.

I hope those employees land somewhere where they build something that costs Microsoft a lot of profit.

I saw an error like that, too. (Also with the flatpak.)

I want to say I had an error in my init.vim that was the underlying cause, and the error message cleared up once I had that fixed. I also had to make sure both executables were on my path, and I had to correct where the NeoVim plugin was looking for Nvim, as well, in settings.json.

I set that up, once. It went poorly for me. Git behaves much better, for me, when used thoughtfully and manually.

What I now do instead, is work on certain projects on an SSH accessible host. This gives the same benefits of having my last state easily accesses, without causing noise in my development tools such as git.

I adore Visual Studio for how it set the gold standard for code editing. VsCode is growing rapidly, but Visual Studio set an incredibly high bar.

For anyone reading along, Visual Studio Community Edition was free and fantastic last time I tried it, and it does 99% of anything any individual developer cares about.

The paid professional license shines for big messy enterprise stuff, but most people looking for an editor don’t need to worry about that.

All that said, disclaimer for full honesty: my tool of choice is NeoVim - often with a splash of VSCodium.

If you’re feeling bold, check out the NeoVim VSCode plugin. It’s delightful.

It’s essentially the VSCode remote plugin, but connecting to the NeoVim back-end.

It gives all the functionality of NeoVim along with all the functionality of VSCode.

Also, annecdotaly, it’s substantially faster than the VSVim plugin.

C.S. Lewis wrote that every death in our lives is an ending not just to their life, but an end to the unique part of our own life that only happened when we interacted with them.

It’s natural to fear and mourn that ending.

Was the byline written by AI?

This comment was also brought to you by the artificial intelligence boom, and has as much to do with it.

You can still purchase this comment as an NFT.

I’m working with a supplier to create a limited edition Pog, with this comment printed on it.

This is the official comment of the new millennium.

This comment is drifting slowly backwards in time, in hopes of escaping the AI hype machine into an earlier, equally stupid hype train, but one made more tolerable by nostalgia.

This comment still only costs 5 cents.

I still get the meaningless Internet points though, right?!
