Funny how you didn't even mention MS Copilot, which many of my friends who work for big corporations seem to have been forced to use at work, and as a consequence, also for personal use.

Oh yeah, that is funny. Thanks for adding it; I thought I was missing at least one major one!

- Copilot: Great at finding and discussing docs, conversations, and other work items that it is connected to. For everything else, it seems somehow less smart than the others (YMMV).

Emphasis on the YMMV, obviously. Maybe my impression is colored by a small number of unlucky, less than stellar experiences (comparatively speaking).


Keep in mind that this is an Australian startup, and they already have some publications out on the ethics of doing this.

If you have any of those publication details handy, a link or citation would be helpful.

But what is being pitched as "AGI" hype is the latter.


none of what we are using today is even remotely being pitched as AGI. if anything, the foundation model makers go out of their way to pitch the opposite. this is a thing made up entirely in your head, and then you put it on others and then claim it was their doing.

Fair, but that's just what hype is. Overpromise, underdeliver. Most of us recognize its limits and take advantage of its strengths. This post (and many in it) seem to be inferring that AI is useless because it isn't AGI, answered a simple question wrong, was tricked, or didn't answer perfectly. This is cherry-picking at best, disingenuous at worst.


They are installed in pairs and work together with bow thrusters to allow for dynamic positioning, the RV Falkor (too) has them for this reason.


Tcl's first "release" was in 1988 and Magic was released in 1984, but it seems like John Ousterhout then wrote Tcl to have a common interface across tools [https://web.stanford.edu/~ouster/cgi-bin/tclHistory.php]. It still is a big thing in EDA, because (in theory) it lets a chip designer run their designs by tools from different vendors


Some of KUKA's controllers still use telnet in their startup sequence.


A large industrial robot running an insecure protocol - what could possibly go wrong?


Thankfully all factory networks are airgapped from the internet, so it's a non-issue!

Right?


BYD are just affordable and maybe reliable, regarding maintenance their spares are hard to come by and are almost as hard to work with as Tesla and other brands.


I've done plenty of work on my own Tesla. It's not hard to work on at all. Parts are not even very difficult. There are plenty of 3rd party shops (such as one I went to when I needed to replace my windshield.) I really wonder why people continue to think this. It's not 2016 any more.


Tesla body work is extremely expensive. Aluminum, extensive welding instead of fasteners, substantially reduced modularity due to castings, specialized tooling just off the top of my mind.


Body work is expensive no matter what car you're working on. The presence of paint ensures it. The OP was talking about "maintenance" and body work doesn't fall under that category.


Are you a car mechanic living in China?


Presumably "hard to come by" would be somewhat irrelevant in any jurisdiction other than the US?


No, but I live in a country were Chinese cars have been sold since the 2010s and spare parts are still an issue. It might be an issue with their sales partners here, but many sell other brands from Korea and Japan and have no issues with them.



I worked at HP as an intern during the saga. I even got to attend a training by the Palm team... Which wasn't great.

My impression just from that training is that WebOs was extremely mismanaged. The training was billed as a "how to write apps for WebOs" and it instead was an hour long meander by the Palm employee about how different the company culture is and how hard it became to do anything.

I had the distinct impression they didn't even know that the training was supposed to be before being assigned to do it.

I think that's indicative of everything. HP had this product that they were trying to shoehorn into the most bizarre places. At it's core it was a mobile Linux os which used html/css/JavaScript as the main user experience engine. And HP was trying to put that on printers and rack mount displays. The one place they didn't seem to care putting it was the mobile devices it was designed to target. They simply half assed the launch of a product.


On a related note, if you studied and got a degree at a university, check if they have an alumni program. I pay a small yearly fee that lets me access the university's academic databases and their VPN, so I get some other perks as it looks like I'm connected through eduroam.


I never once submitted an assignment on a course with TurnitIn turned on, it makes you agree to their terms of service, which I disagree with and I'd just sed my work to the teacher through email, explaining what was my issue with TurnitIn, and most times they'd just turn it off, which I think speaks loads about that "tool".
