the person is incentivized to view the events in that manner (ie works for or is associated with cruise/autopilot etc)...
the poors need reliable transportation to get to their workplace to feed their families and pay rent
knowledge structures as we construct it are symbolic, with symbols representing abstractions (ie classes), along with relations between these symbols. human ingenuity consists of coming up with new symbols or new relations between existing symbols (which is a process of abduction) based on new perceptual inputs (either our senses or instruments). Such knowledge structures are powerful because, they allow us to build giant towers based on solid foundations.

This is another way of saying that you have clarity in that subject, and so your stream of thought aligns with knowledge structures - which is another to say that you really understand something. However, in my experience very few people are able to stay within their lanes (competence), and most of us tend to babble on topics we really dont have knowledge structures for. also, few people have the self-awareness of what they really have knowledge structures for (ie, know what they dont know).
do folks actually read knuth ? i thought his tomes were meant only for bookshelves -lol- -sarcasm-

the designers of these things are not the actual users, hence feature creep and pointless gadgetry that impede the main function
but isnt the article addressing the likes of me ?
agree 100%, there is little incentive for the car-maker+dealer ecosystem to enable this.
A battery expert i spoke to said that battery management is a complex mechanism, with lots of software and electronics - and it is not yet modular to enable easy repairs by the local joe mechanic

I dont think the assertion that "EVs have lower maintenance cost" is backed by hard data yet.
And for DIYer like me who want a "right to repair" - EVs dont even have repair manuals - why would i want to buy one - and have the manufacturer own me ?
modern cars are too complex for their own good. the electricals in the car are the worst offenders here. it is too time consuming to debug and fix them.
At this point, the vested interests (ai-vcs, startups, etc) must unleash a new wave of propaganda to keep the faith.
sama drops a tweet: saw AGI yesterday, or musk says optimus did a cartwheel - whoohoo.
i have been part of 3 hype-trains - dot-com, cloud, and now ai. missed w3/crypto.
but, i havent such hype-trains in other parts of us/world.
btw, i am very impressed with how well chatGPT does on this puzzle thanks to the elaborate tuning that seems to have been done by the training.
--- A farmer has a wolf, a goat, and some cabbage - and he must cross a river by boat with his items. The boat can carry only the farmer and a single item. If left unattended together, wolf would eat the cabbage, or the wolf would eat the goat or the goat would eat the cabbage. How can they cross the river without anything being eaten? ---
To ensure that nothing gets eaten during the river crossing, the farmer can follow these steps:
Step 1: The farmer takes the goat across the river and leaves it on the other side.
On the other side: Farmer | Goat On the original side: Wolf | Cabbage Step 2: The farmer returns alone to the original side.
On the other side: Goat On the original side: Farmer | Wolf | Cabbage Step 3: The farmer takes the cabbage across the river.
On the other side: Farmer | Cabbage On the original side: Wolf | Goat Step 4: The farmer leaves the cabbage on the other side and takes the wolf back across the river.
On the other side: Cabbage On the original side: Farmer | Wolf | Goat Step 5: The farmer takes the wolf across the river.
On the other side: Wolf | Cabbage On the original side: Farmer | Goat Step 6: The farmer returns alone to the original side.
On the other side: Wolf On the original side: Farmer | Goat | Cabbage Now, all three items (wolf, goat, cabbage) and the farmer have safely crossed the river without anything being eaten.

"prove that there are no non negative numbers less than 3"
Claude puts out this elaborate BS - whats funny is the pretension.
----
This is trivial to prove by contradiction:
Assume there exists a non-negative number n < 3. Then either:
n = 0. But 0 is not less than 3, so this is a contradiction. 0 < n < 3. But the only numbers between 0 and 3 are 1 and 2, and neither of those are less than 3, so this is also a contradiction. Therefore, our assumption that such an n exists must be false. By contradiction, there are no non-negative numbers less than 3.
In formal logical terms:
Assume ∃n ∈ R, n ≥ 0 and n < 3 (There exists some non-negative number n less than 3) Then either: a) n = 0. But 0 ≥ 3 is false, so this is a contradiction. b) 0 < n < 3. The only numbers in (0,3) are 1 and 2, neither of which is less than 3, so this is also a contradiction. Therefore the assumption in (1) must be false. By contradiction, the statement ∀n ∈ R, n ≥ 0 → n ≥ 3 (For all non-negative numbers n, n is greater than or equal to 3) must be true. So the proof by contradiction shows that there are no non-negative numbers less than 3.

boosters can hype all you want, but the damn thing cant compute. and please dont say - "but most humans will fail at this too"
meanwhile...: claude-coders working furiously to add this test case - lol.
A characteristic of these professions is that there is no accountability for output they produce. It is not like a profession that builds an engine for a car. They can bullshit with confidence and get away with it.
chatGPT will replace all of them - as chatGPT itself can bullshit with the best of them.
the reality is that the emperor has no clothes (cant compute).
the damn thing cant compute. what is the LLM bandwagon going to do now ? what about the VCs who jumped on it ? what about the AI doomers.. Is there going to be a senate hearing on restricting all logic to exclude this special case...boohoohoo..
the competitive and zero sum nature of trading requires a deeper and almost scientific bent of mind to think well.
all i see is the hype cycle.
also, the title is click-bait. I was expecting a list of pushback articles. and whats the deal with developers curating such lists and posting on hn ?
a) a hardware vendor nvidia/amd whose products are needed by anyone in the game
b) you have a captive customer base already ( microsoft, salesforce, servicenow, adobe) to whom you can sell ai/ml value adds
c) you make money via ads (google facebook) and ai/ml helps with better targeting
everyone else is pissing away VC money.
because language models are a complementary product, and the complement must be commoditized as a strategy.
I see AMD as a bigger beneficiary, since, very soon, amd will equal nvidia for inference and fine-tuning, but amd has a long way to go to equal in foundation model training.
