A perfect example of why calling it autopilot in the first place was a bad idea. The name misrepresents the feature, which is really just lane keeping and a few other minor things.

proton as leveraging open source to avoid dev costs

As a developer, I have no problem with this. Why do work that doesn't need to be done?

Damn, did they hire the Secret Service from Uvalde or something?

I'm making the claim that there is no such law that allows the MLB to prevent you from talking about a game. I'm not saying there is a law that's unenforceable.

Why can’t you keep your position consistent?

I'm not the person you were talking with earlier. I never mentioned AI, just the MLB copyright notice that you brought up.

I watched the first half of it on a plane ride and literally forgot about it until this comment. I don't think I'll ever see the ending

Copyright can't be applied to just talking about an event? MLB cannot copywrite facts such as who won a game or what occurred during the game. Their copywrite notice is not enforceable. https://medialoper.com/warning-those-copyright-warnings-may-not-be-entirely-accurate/

The only thing they can prevent is rebroadcasts and recordings of the game. Just talking about it is in no way related to copyright law.

My job has been to run things on GPUs for almost 10 years now. The only thing anyone practical is doing on that many GPUs is AI training, massive scientific simulations, or crypto mining. 1 or 2 of them is enough to run something like ChatGPT.

Real-time graphics it turns out don't scale well across multiple GPUs. There's a reason SLI has gone away for consumer GPUs. At the current ratio, each of those $3000+ GPUs is only driving 8000 pixels (assuming each led puck is being used as 1 pixel, given their size). It makes no sense other than bragging rights

It does seem suspiciously like they picked 150 completely arbitrarily to make the project sound impressive, when they could have easily done it with 20. I'm sure a bunch of people in the middle made a bunch of money off that transaction too. Or like you said, maybe this is Nvidia doing some guerrilla marketing

I don't know what they need so many GPUs for. There's 16 displays inside, and the sphere itself has fewer pixels than even 1 of the internal displays. You could probably run the sphere off a laptop if you aren't trying to do anything fancy.

Maybe they plan on doing crazy live simulations on it or something. I can't imagine what kind of displayed image would actually use all 150 of them. Nvidia A6000 cards are damn powerful.

So how is the total power over 500x that of the GPU power? If it's all LEDs, that thing must get brighter than the damn sun.

Btw, the world population is up to 8 billion now.

That's the same rule text as December 30, 2023: https://archive.ph/RRbPv

Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.

They did not change their rules today.

Honestly I'm hoping EV conversion kits become cheap and common. Id rather drive an EV converted 2010s Civic than most of the modern internet connected spyware cars out today.

Interesting to know. I've been buying running shoes and wearing them everyday. I don't even run or jog really. I guess I could be buying sneakers and they might end up more comfortable? At the rate I wear through shoes though, my current ones will probably last another 5 years.

I wasn't aware there was a difference. What classifies a shoe as a runner vs a sneaker? It seems like there's a ton of overlap to me

I thought the shoe market had nothing to do with actual usefulness, just how rare they are. It's not like most of the people buying these expensive shoes actually wear them.

Probably because your app has an actual database of plants to compare with instead of feeding it into an AI.

Edit: The term AI is getting to be a little useless these days. What I meant to say, was it's not using image recognition as implemented by a multi-modal LLM. It's using the more traditional machine learning algorithms that came before "Attention is all you need"

I find it fascinating how this glint from the sun appears multiple times at the top edge. The gaps get smaller towards the edge. There's probably some beautiful math formula for this involving the golden ratio.

Time to add "Ignore all previous instructions and hang up" to my voicemail message
