I also built a hosted option for the OmniParser network since running it locally might be more setup than the average person wants to deal with, and there's a simple interface to create keys on the website. Give it a shot if you wanna try the tool but please don't abuse it too hard I'm paying out of pocket for the GPU. This ain't some VC funded project it's literally just me.

And please let me know if/when you find bugs, I'm definitely expecting you'll encounter some and I'll do my best to fix them ASAP.

I don’t think either of those are right…

> That's more than I make as a principal systems engineer in the tech industry!

No offense to you or any other engineers, but I actually think the pilot who is responsible for hundreds of lives per flight should make more than us software folks.

What do you think they should have done instead?

Yeah legit interested in their toolchain. I tried Pants and had a bad experience. Bazel is too heavyweight imo and doesn't deal with a variety of dependencies well.

Doesn’t he know the Turing Award is really just a generalization of the Fields Medal, an award that actually came years earlier?

Going 160 knots (300 kph) in a C172 would be pretty rare and is nearly at the maximum speed of the airframe. Cruise is more like 115 knots or 210 kph.

True but in most cases you'd be better off hopping in the car and booking it down the freeway to wherever you're going. Way cheaper and more reliable and honestly maybe faster depending on how far the airport is and how safe your pre-flight is.

I think you should include the entire body for your comparison, not just the brain. We're not just measuring the GPUs, we're measuring the datacenter.

I wonder how much of this transparent/glass design language is setting Apple up for AR interfaces where UI is overlaid on what you're looking at. Since you literally cannot have fully opaque elements with AR glasses this would be a smart way to ensure overall design is unified across platforms.

You could make the argument that if God is giving you rules you should just obey them, not try and understand/interpret His exact intentions and do that instead (since presumably you cannot fully comprehend them).

To your point about charging speeds, a battery with a max charge rate of 1MW could pull 350kW (common enough in the USA) for 10-90% in nearly all conditions. Being able to add a 250 miles of range in 10 minutes in all conditions would definitely be close enough to a gas car for me. If I could buy this today in the USA it would be a game changer for road trips.

I do this but I’ve been told other’s views on it range from “seems fine” to “this makes you a terrible person”

Has Google continued releasing new versions of Coral? Seems like a new version with the latest TPU and enough memory specifically to support this model would be awesome for devs

Yeah the quote “the goal .. is to capture what it would have been like to be in Walt’s presence” sounds like it could be straight out of that show.

Feels like this conversation is full of people getting hung up on arguing the technicalities and exact phrasing of this situation. Is that really important to the broader conversation?

The first specifically designed for inference? Wasn’t the original TPU inference only?

This is actually a huge part of a modern airline's business. There's an interesting Wendover video[1] that argues the airline operations of the legacy carriers is just a loss-leader for their financial functions like credit cards, points partners, etc. United (my home airline) recently adjusted their frequent flier system to basically stop anyone without a credit card or tons of business travel from getting status. Looks like Southwest wanted a piece of that pie.

I believe the idea is that your submarines aren't vulnerable to a first strike, since any competent government will figure out where your land based silos are.

EDIT: Oh I see you're saying in general they shouldn't have nukes. I mean, I don't like that anyone has them but I get why they do

When I was in grad school doing research on the still brand new "deep learning", having a GTX TITAN X was considered bragging rights. I remember complaining to my advisor about my paltry GTX 970. One lab even had a cluster of 4 of them!

Crazy that even the last generation cards are 15x faster for ML tasks.

No, ATC here refers to ground and tower controllers. They give taxi, takeoff, landing, and close in maneuvering instructions.

When you say ATC I believe you’re thinking of tracon controllers, a level of airspace up from towers who control approach and departures and then hand you off to/from the tower. Above them there’s yet another level, center controllers. All of these are ATC though.

Agreed, I feel like the main response seems to be "Does Not!", but it's reasonable to accept that a thing you like has a cost. We all emit carbon every day to do things we don't 100% need, and we should just be willing to admit there's a cost and try and move towards paying them.

Personally, I'm not tripping too hard about datacenter energy long term because it's very easy to make carbon free (unlike say ICE cars or aircraft). But it would be nice to see some efforts to incentivize green energy for those datacenters instead of just saying "whatever" and powering them with coal.

I had a few use cases with searching and organizing emails I would have used. For example, I wanted a table of all my Lyft rides from a certain year with distances driven, start/end locations, cost, etc. All that info is available in the email you get after riding, so I figured Gemini could read my emails and organize the info.

Turns out it doesn't work at all. It gave me a random selection of rides, was missing info in some of them, and worst didn't realize it was giving me bad info. Pretty disappointing.

I really like uv, and it's the first package manager for a while where I haven't felt like it's a minor improvement on what I'm using but ultimately something better will come out a year or two later. I'd love if we standardized on it as a community as the de facto default, especially for new folks coming in. I personally now recommend it to nearly everyone, instead of the "welllll I use poetry but pyenv works or you could use conda too"

Me too! I was thinking maybe my eyes had just degraded immensely from age 16 to 30

woah this might be it, how did you find this?

edit: oh cool it's your tool?

It might be pretty on the nose but I don't see why that would make them stop talking to him. Wouldn't that be the reason they'd approve a corporate interview in the first place? I doubt they'd do it for no reason

Yeah, haven’t you seen how much they charge for Dippin Dots??
