CrimsonRain··on Tesla Hasn't Had a Successful New Product Launch Since JB Straubel Stepped Down
Did you take a look at amount of money waymo is losing let alone profit?

Unsupervised robotaxi has lower (at fault) accidents than unsupervised waymo.

All notable cybercab accidents have been done by remote driving.

The only thing waymo have are - large fleet thus large miles/week - many cities

In last week or so, Tesla went from tiny to equal/more than waymo in Austin seemingly in just a few days.

They'll do that in other cities too in due time.

CrimsonRain··on Geoffrey Hinton: it might turn out we were better off without AI
No, maybe I didn't write it correctly.

> I can type two prompts to solve a task

This is referring to work stuff where I get "extra" time with family as AI chugs along. I know this is a luxury, but I'm lucky to have it.

> I am building personal software for family

This is solving real problems for the family, problems I would have had to solve _manually_ anyways, as writing software for this would have been too time prohibitive. However, manual solution for these problems are also annoying and time consuming.

Now, some problems are getting solved faster, in higher quality, and often, in a reusable way.

I sent a 100+ documents package to my lawyer last week, containing a huge amount of legal/personal documents. Some I never even heard about before; some are required because of obscure laws etc that are not apparent without reading the law sections multiple times. AI gathered all of them for me, the ones I didn't have: it told me how to get it or got it itself if possible. Organized the whole thing in a neat way. There is no way anyone can gather all these documents in such a short time (3 hours of on and off prompting + a few days of waiting for post), organize it perfectly. If I manually did it, it'd take me at least a few days of full time work.

When the lawyer took a look, all he could say is everything is in order for submission.

CrimsonRain··on Geoffrey Hinton: it might turn out we were better off without AI
Being able to have a happy family, having a roof over head, having food 3 times a day, being able to travel at any time anywhere etc, being healthy, AND being able to spend the most valuable thing—time, with your loved ones...if this is not one of your top 3 life goals, I feel pity.
CrimsonRain··on Britain to make salary disclosure in job ads mandatory
How does the seniority requirements work? I've seen 1 year junior better than 8 years senior; 5 year senior with no difference to a typical 2 years junior and everything in between.
CrimsonRain··on Geoffrey Hinton: it might turn out we were better off without AI
I can type two prompts to solve a task while I spend time with my little boy. Get notified in phone, reply using voice and off AI goes to fix remaining issues.

I am building personal software for family (home automation where it is not possible, time capsule (future letters for kids), study materials for kids and much more.

Alternative is, it would take me hours of manual work and I'm stuck at computer.

Yes, I'm in AI heaven right now that allows me to spend way more time with family than I would have been able to and still be productive.

CrimsonRain··on The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public
If you put your retirement money in a way where you have no say, then that's on you. You should have complained about that; long time ago.

People buying etf loves that. in their mind, they shift the risk and responsibility to an external party (oh yeah; free money without risks!!) but forget the new responsibility they have to take: you gave the decision power to someone else; now you have to live by it.

CrimsonRain··on The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public
Don't buy shares of companies you don't like. Also don't buy etf and then cry about the companies included in the etf. Problem solved.

Good thing you're not in charge with your communist attitude. If they kept controlling shares hidden from public, you'd had a point. Nobody is asking you to buy shares of companies with controlling shares.

CrimsonRain··on Bidirectional charging during grid outages
Or you can deploy the hardware while software is not ready...and allow it when software is built, tested and updated.

That's why Tesla gets cool features like door open pedestrian/car alert, child left behind detection, smooth stop etc over the life of the car.

I will get it soon (queued). I'm banking on the if screen for agentic usage.

CrimsonRain··on Finland investigate Google over destruction of 250k trees
Funny thing is, if this "forest" is to be protected, why doesn't the govt buy/own the land? What an idiotic thing to say you plant trees in your land but you are not allowed to cut it. Don't approve of a data center in a land where you won't let them clear it. Bureaucracy must prevail!
CrimsonRain··on Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?
Improve your workflow. I have 4 instances of intellij, 2 web storm, 2 Rustrover and two phpstorm open for WEEKS. Along with some vs code instance. I think I unminimized only one just today to check something: I was being super lazy and I just wanted to check git status without typing anything. I had to rebuild multiple images with new structure to mitigate php2shell; had to patch more than 15 servers etc just in last few days. Fork old other people's images and update them, add some features while at it. Bug fix old php sites not running on new php. And so on and so on...all done with 5/6 agents running in parallel. I have the IDEs open but minimized. Don't need them really...

Depending on use case.

Right now I use ECS and coolify in some cases.

My point was just use the cloud directly want their tools instead of something like this.

CrimsonRain··on The recently proposed o(n log n) integer multiplication algorithm [pdf]
Could very well be. Or not. But the most of the ones questioning are not questioning for that. They are just mad someone else took their lunch. Nothing ai is producing till now is non-understandable to humans. Might need some extra effort which for obvious reasons these mathematicians don't want to.
CrimsonRain··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
> Folks like you hand wave away the 100,000 deaths this summer from a heat wave like its nothing.

Yet those deaths are occuring in Europe where climate frenzy is at highest level. People die due to lack of AC, it is good because of muh environment.

They are not realists. They are idiot idealists. A realist would understand that phasing out nuclear before we have energy abundance, before we have renewables flooring the grid, is killing millions and cause of sufferings of billions with multi order effect.

A realist would understand that the mass will not give up their individual freedom to some distant climate threat.

A realist would understand that lying to people about their country going under water by 201x, and them living thru it in 2026, they will never trust anything else you say (like the lying piece of shit fauci and his masks).

A realist would understand that the only way out of this is energy abundance.

Yes. Humans. Fire + Meat = Humans ruling the world instead of octopuses or chimpanzees.

CrimsonRain··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
There was no need to temporarily transition to coal except this: 1. The raw power of nuclear would make renewables not that attractive; so deployment will be slow. 2. Removing nuclear from scene will create demand for renewables.

The 1.5 step that climate activists ignored (because why not? Humans are cancers. Industrialization is a mistake) is the crashing of economy. Germany is will paying for that mistake and will never recover.

CrimsonRain··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
You are absolutely right. They think they can bend everyone on their feet because their morals are so "superior". Almost every single of their actions result in more long term harm to the environment.
CrimsonRain··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
There it is. Give up meat, eat grass. Next you'll say people should not use AC, live in caves etc.

I'm gonna cook some beef for dinner tonight :)

CrimsonRain··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
I see no problem with the graphic. It is going to be like this until we achieve energy abundance which we could have long ago if the idiotic climate activists didn't block nuclear everywhere.

You can keep the blue curves going up while bring down the green curves with sheer power of energy (and new technologies).

The solution to climate problems is not regressing to hunter gatherer age as the climate activists have wet dreams about. The solution is to produce more energy, improve technology, and clean up the pollution.

Humanity will do better. We'll go preindustrial levels within next 100 years. Ironically, china will probably lead the way.

Uncharitable assumption? hello?

This whole thread started with uncharitable assumption saying Musk did it. The fact is Starshield is govt controlled and spacex/musk is not responsible for any change like this.

I object today's abuses and treatment of snowden assange etc too. That doesn't mean I have to have TDS/EDS and uncharitable assumption for people I don't like and charitable for the ones I like.
