  • STIR/SHAKEN had yet to be fully implemented, so while most carriers are now signing calls, almost none are taking action against unsigned calls.

    I have hope that it will become a useful tool in the future for blocking spam and even bad carriers who are signing anything and everything.

  • It will be interesting to see how this all plays out that's for sure. Every time I drive by a rest stop on the highway I imagine what the gas lines would look like if those people were instead lining up to spend 20+ minutes minimum at a charging station.

    Even if you put a charger in every parking space it would likely be a problem. Those lots fill up as it is and I can't even fathom the electrical feeds required for that.

    I think the people saying "oh it's just electricity we already have that" are a bit dilusional. It's going to require enormous investment into infrastructure and even then it may not be feasible.

    I think it's one of those things that seems great when only a handful of people are doing it but will become a nightmare as more EVs end up on the road.

    Its great for those who have a dedicated place to park their car, can charge at home and only commute a short distance back and forth to work but it falls short for many.

  • Where does all of the anti hydrogen rhetoric come from? Hydrogen has its issues for sure but so does electric. Hydrogen has advantages to electric, namely range and refueling time, which may make it a better choice, at least for certain applications.

    What's so horrible about Toyota investing in it? At least someone is giving it a shot and they actually have a production automobile that uses it.

    Here we are going all in on electric with a grid that can't support it, charging times that are too slow, driving range that's too low and housing that can't accommodate it but hydrogen is somehow a crazy idea?

  • I have a duel fuel system (heat pump + gas furnace) which, while more expensive, is really the best of both worlds.

    In a power outage I can plug in a generator and get the furnace running.

    If temps drop too low and the heat pump is struggling I can switch to the furnace.

    I can choose which to run based on current energy costs.

    When looking into heat pumps everyone told me they don't work well in the northeast or they would be more expensive to run here. I found it really difficult to get an accurate estimate of the cost difference between running a heat pump vs a gas furnace. Ultimately I decided to go dual fuel for flexibility but after comparing my bills before and after I almost wish I'd gone with a hyper heat unit so it could run at lower outdoor temps because the heat pump has turned out to be cheaper but I can't run it at low temps.

    I think HVAC techs in this area are weary of them based on past experience with older units but they really have improved in recent years.

  • Car seats are not gate checked. Strollers can be since parents use them up until boarding but car seats are checked with the rest of your luggage.

    Edit: I forgot to account for car seats that are part of a stroller... I imagine those would have to be gate checked as well. That's a special case though.

  • I don't know, I've never looked into it. Unless you can rent them at the airport though I don't see it being helpful.

    Sometimes you can book a car service in advance that will provide one.

    Regardless it's going to be extra cost and something extra to worry about when you arrive which isn't worth it to me personally.

  • Okay I get it but that's a different argument. Starting fresh only gets you so far. Once am LLM exists and is exposed to the public users can submit any data they like and the LLM has no idea the source.

    You could argue then that these models shouldn't be able to use user submitted data but that would be a devastating restriction to the technology and that starts to become a question of whatever we want this tech to exist at all.

  • This is an article about unlearning data, not about not consuming it in the first place.

    LLM's are not storing learned data in it's raw, original form. They are injesting it and building an understanding of language based off of it.

    Attempting to peel out that knowledge would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible because there's really no way to identify it.
