Yeah, maybe I’m being more particular about terminology than I should, given how loosely it’s used. I was saying the cars aren’t using genAI / LLMs, which seem to be the crux of the other (undesirable to me) advertised future developments.

But of course ML / computer vision are expected as major parts of self driving.

There’s a full postmortem from AWS. One piece that stands out to me:

due to the large number of droplets, efforts to establish new droplet leases took long enough that the work could not be completed before they timed out. Additional work was queued to reattempt establishing the droplet lease. At this point, DWFM had entered a state of congestive collapse and was unable to make forward progress in recovering droplet leases.

That is, the load that resulted from the initial failure was not something the system was designed to handle, so it had cascading effects / required manual cleanup.

Does it? The article makes no claim the self-driving has any dependent on AI. Seems like GM is just hyping up their AI bloatware at the same time — though that would make me hesitate to get one of their cars.

So if your system is oscillating wildly, your P term is too large, right?

P = social media, 24h news cycle I = education D = regulation

From the initial version of the investigation, the driver faced charges under Part 1 of Article 121 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional grievous bodily harm), but by court decision he was not taken into custody under this article. Soon after, he was detained in Bila Tserkva and another suspicion was announced – leaving a person in danger (Part 3 of Article 135 of the Criminal Code), which carries a penalty of up to eight years in prison.

The Q6 e-tron, which goes for about $70k according to caranddriver.

And so many of them can’t stay on their side of the line. Glad nobody was opening doors.

Taken together, the study’s findings represent a crucial step forward in addressing many unresolved issues regarding Long COVID. The systemic increase in AMPARs provides a direct biological explanation for the cognitive symptoms, highlighting a target for potential treatments. For example, drugs that suppress AMPAR activity could be a viable approach to mitigate brain fog. Interestingly, the team’s analysis also demonstrated that imaging data can be used to distinguish patients from healthy controls with 100% sensitivity and 91% specificity.

The articles self summary pretty much covers the content:

A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial. By targeting the USAG-1 gene, researchers believe that they can help people without a full set of teeth regrow teeth. The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready to grow as needed.

Sounds cool!

Crispng adds:

Court documents show Ruth was previously charged with stalking, trespassing, and prowling at night, but had no felony convictions.

Thanks. Sounds to me like a person who reasonable gun control laws would have prevented from gun ownership.

Aljazeera has a scant few additional details:

Police said the officers were there to serve a warrant. At a news conference, Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, explained that they were following up on an investigation that began the day before, but he shared few other details. “The general heading of that investigation, I would say,

From the original article:

“This kind of violence is not OK. We need to do better as a society,” Shapiro said.

Seems like quite a juxtaposition there. I wonder what the “disturbance” was, and what de-escalation approaches were attempted.

Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say ‘wait and see what results get published,’ but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can’t imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they’re expected to deliver.

Hah. It’s I am not a lawyer.

If all the employees/execs agree, could they quit en masse and form a new company? I guess they’d need to build new factories. And maybe run afoul of non competes.

But yeah, seems like selling your soul and then asking the public to ransom it for you is irresponsible.

100 coins in the clock was probably my toughest of the 120 stars.

Ballotopedia is not so ad encrusted and has this breakdown:

Wu has said she would prioritize reducing dependence on cars. Wu has highlighted her record on public transportation, including working with the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority to eliminate slow zones, as well as increasing ridership with fare-free bus lines, installing speed humps, and using technology to reduce congestion.[9] Kraft has said he wouldn’t prioritize reducing dependence on cars and instead would focus on fixing roads and sidewalks, as well as temporarily pause bike lane construction to conduct an audit on the efficiency of proposed bike lanes.[18]
