If Meta hadn’t tried to corner the VR market over the past 10 years and absolutely failed miserably, we would have a thriving VR scene. What you’re seeing today is not “VR won’t happen” it’s “Mark Zuckerburg took a massive gamble and lost”.

5·2 months agoThe convenience of using ChatGPT is the selling point. They want it because users will do the scraping of websites since everybody is blocking the AI crawlers due to all AI companies being shitbags.

111·5 months agoThe car doesn’t have to be in self driving mode for the fault to be Tesla’s - for example, the pedals on the cybertruck sliding off and sticking down the accelerator.

1·9 months agoI agree we should legislate it! But in the US, that isn’t going to happen, and the EU also doesn’t seem to quite have enough teeth yet to do it.
And buddy, we play Russian roulette all the goddamn time. The people that modify their cars start off not knowing shit. Why would the computer in said car be any diferent?

202·9 months agoThat mentality is how we got here in the first place. A person should have a right to understand and repair/modify everything happening in devices they own. Because they don’t, we get stuck in the shitty situation where Elon Musk can unlock any Tesla he pleases and I can’t refuse to send my data to him. Or any other car manufacturer. Or tractor manufacturer. Or IoT manufacturer.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcaseEnglish
61·9 months agoYup, but that’s going to be true in every environment. Conflicting or noisy signals are always going to be there when you have multiple sensors. Theres going to be conflicts between pure camera systems - what if a camera sensor goes buggy and starts putting out data that says there’s always a thing to the left?
More systems giving data to establish ground truth is better. Dont Boeing yourself into thinking that one sensor is good enough - that’s how you kill people.
Edit: you also know how they’re doing the depth detection with cameras? With AI. You know, that thing that we keep having troubles hallucinating data with. So the data it’s getting from the depth subsystem isnt ground truth, it’s significantly worse and could be completely wrong.

9·9 months ago- FSD won’t solve the “the sensors don’t detect the wall” issue
- That was not the point of the video.
- It did stop, yes. That is a win. Didn’t kill the kid. The Tesla didn’t. It killed the kid. That’s a fail. What’s your point?
- Why would you run a test multiple times with the high potential for damage to a very expensive vehicle when it’s not supposed to be published in a journal? You talk about cost vs features for manufacturers but don’t apply that same logic to Rober. Its also a one-off thing for Rober, so the math is better for him than the “cheaper, OK with kids dying” method of Musk.
I think you’re underestimating how many situations a LIDAR system will be better than an all camera system. Its also a tradeoff in human lives. I’d rather it be slightly more expensive up front and not have kids die than cheap and kill kids.
And yes. Self driving should be better than humans. Cause humans suck as drivers. We have two cameras in one location in the car. Self driving must be better and make up for the limitations of humans. Cameras dont make up for them and thus are a terrible replacement for humans.

391·9 months agoThe friendships with LIDAR suppliers aside (always a problem with these kinds of things),
- the full self driving wouldn’t have saved the wall.
- He’s telling a story. Disabling autopilot because he’s nervous is good storytelling because it’s science communication, not science. Its also cause he knows it’s super likely to fail.
- He did show LIDAR having troubles - the heavy rain. Its just good enough to peak through it to stop the car before it hits the kid. it’s just that the self driving ALSO has trouble with this, and in fact worse troubles. LIDAR has trouble in places where the light is going to be blocked, a situation that a pure camera solution on a Tesla is not going to solve. Not unlikely to solve, NOT GOING to solve. In the real world, if light can’t penetrate through a thing twice, it’s unlikely to only do it once.
- Its not supposed to be scientific, it’s science communication. Science is testing and retesting. He did one test and called it good.
Yup, LIDAR isn’t a silver bullet for every situation to do sensing. But it’s a damn sight better than pure cameras. And Musk would have known this if he was a good engineer. But hes not. Hes a spoiled, rich, apartheid-loving, racist asshole that thinks he’s a good programmer and engineer.

Technology@lemmy.world•curl project is giving up on CVSS scoresEnglish
13·11 months agoThe scores do fail though - they don’t encompass enough information. They can’t encompass enough information because something that is critical in one sense (e.g., and making shit up here, Java listening to the internet) might not be in another (e.g. Java running on specific scientific data in an airgapped environment). Security is always situation and risk-appetite dependent. No number can encompass all that.

Technology@beehaw.org•Red Hat Tries To Address Criticism Over Their Source Repository Changes
28·2 years ago… feel that much of the anger from our recent decision around the downstream sources comes from either those who do not want to pay for the time, effort and resources going into RHEL or those who want to repackage it for their own profit. This demand for RHEL code is disingenuous.
Then remove all open source code from your code base. I don’t mean some, I mean all. Let’s see whose code you’re repackaging for your own profit.

No, because Trump doesn’t have that power, weirdly enough. However, they’re getting around it by using it as a nickname that just happens to be plastered all over their logo/seal.
