California highway patrol had some license plate holders that would prevent them from pulling you over, but that took a hit some time back when counterfeits hit the market. CHP 11-99 club issued them.
I looked at the specs at the start of the year and just built something with the high end of consumer parts at around 4k usd. I was able to replicate the mlc 2x7900xtx results running some LLMs. Good enough to run most of the big models in gpu memory with a little quantization.
With my experience around poorer schools in the USA I would worry that the filter wouldn’t get replaced for decades and itself become a breeding ground for molds.
Yeah that’s what I meant. The fallacy being that people assume the cameras are as good as their eyes, especially when looking at footage shot through them without any basis for comparison.
Showing the camera footage from these vehicles (and the Uber ATG incident) causes a fallacy most people don’t even realize - eyes are way better than current cameras. So you think visibility was worse than it is, things were further away and approaching more quickly, and so on. So people are inclined to look at the video and say it was clear no one could avoid that. Which is just an inditement of the sensor tech but unless you see the scene yourself or have other sensor data, it’s not so obvious.
An issue with these parts was that the OOB config wasn’t very good - even if you knew to turn on the XMP profiles it still threw a ridiculous amount of voltage at the chip in pursuit of a few percent performance increase.
Some thing that stuck with me early on in engineering school, there was an ethics seminar, and the instructor asked me what I would do if I were told to sign off on say some sort of waste dump into a residential area. The thing that stuck with me is he didn’t let me off the hook when I said I would say no he said OK so they fire you and now they sue you and what do you do now?
Can’t argue with the math but there are still risks (inflation, the government that issues your currency, etc). I’ve seen people sell all investments to buy all the supplies they need to live out their lives, and I used to think it was insane. But it is just a different sort of hedge.
The plagiarism argument is not necessarily directed at the user of the browser. Ask yourself who is doing the publishing? And how would you cite the output of an LLM if you did publish the output?
I am descended from farmers on both sides. When I was young dad made me raise some livestock to really impress on me how bad a job it was. I got up before sunrise to feed them before school and so on. When I went to sell them dad sat me down at a spreadsheet and had me enter all the expenses and the net profit was something like 10 dollars for months of work. Most farmers I know have a second job just to stay afloat, or do it only because they know the quality they can get is so much better than store bought stuff.
I once had a hospital try to balance bill me, which is and was illegal. They explained it to me and I asked why I should be accountable for the difference between a number they made up and a number the insurance company made up? Especially when these are deliberately inflated for negotiating. They dismissed the bill entirely.
They told you (or me at least) almost exactly everything that would be in the interview ahead of time, to the point that I just recalled a lot from my notes I made the night before the call. Source: I completed the TB process, but it was 8ish years ago.
Just find people who have never done any drugs, they will have no idea what to expect and the placebo effect will be strong enough. I ate a regular brownie once in college (my friend left it on my door knob as a nice surprise). I was freaking out for a bit, having no idea what a pot brownie was like. Sat down next to someone playing wow and asked them to tell me if I started acting oddly.
So many points. Does your thinking start with “it is obvious that…” or “the right side of history” ? We as humans are just very susceptible to a combination of fallacy and social reinforcement, no matter our political stance.
