It really should be a law that if a company does this, they should open source the code for both devices and servers and provide a way for people to reflash their devices.

Like, they’re retiring a light switch that’s 3 years old, I don’t think anyone buys a light switch thinking they’ll get a new one just 3 years later.

If you ever used notepad++ on windows, it’s sort of like that. Uses the same engine, but has different features.

I use it, it’s fine for stuff you’d use notepad for. For coding I use a full IDE tho.

Really depends on what data it is and whether you want to search it regularly or just as a one time thing.

You could load them into an rdbms (MySQL/Postgres) and have it handle the indexing, or use python tools to process the files. Something like elasticsearch could work too.

If it’s just a one time thing grep is probably fine tho.

Aleph could work as well but I have no experience with it.

I guess it depends on how much time you want to invest in setting something up versus how much time you’d lose waiting for grep to finish (if you only need to search a certain column, you can create an index with just that column using awk, search that index file, then extract the full line from the source file based on that result, but at that point you’re basically creating a new database engine).

Let them have chatGPT credits.

Yeah, I still have the ICE car because when I bought it I wasn’t in a position to charge at home, and electric cars were expensive ( like $100k+ for a second hand Model S).

But yeah, now I have a garage and there’s a ton of affordable cars coming out of China.

Yeah, I currently still have a petrol car, but I feel like an electric car would work out better with my current usage. I basically never do long trips, so every month or so I have to go out of my way to fill it up. If I had an electric car I could just plug it in at home, and if I was feeling fancy I could even set the charger up to only charge with excess solar so it would be completely free.

And finding a charger on a long trip and stretching your legs for about 20 minutes definitely seems better than stopping at a stinky petrol station.

The existing range was already good enough for most. I feel like you could read this as they could build a car with the same range with only half the battery pack, which saves on cost and weight.

Most people charge at home anyway, you only really need high voltage chargers along major roads.

Yeah, given the moment in the US, wearing a mask is just the prudent thing to do. The government’s own agents are doing it.

Yeah, that means we can just replace them with a basic ChatGPT subscription and save millions every year, right?

I mean, it can be effective. It works for the GOP: you basically can’t get elected as a Republican if you’re not anti-abortion or if you want to raise taxes, and thanks to those purity tests, every time they get in power they take steps towards those goals.

With the ‘big tent’ Democrats all you get is basically a small rollback on the worst excesses of the previous Republican president (to the point where you really can’t call them ‘left’ in any serious way).

I feel like the only job AI would be better suited at would be CEO.

Yeah, exactly this. I’m sure they did the math.

Yeah, definitely not liking the dynamic in that conversation. How are you ‘too busy’ to go into the store?

It does seem like this is a case of Musk changing the initialisation prompt in production to include some BS about South Africa without testing in a staging/dev environment, and as you said, there being a huge gulf between the training material and the prompt. I wonder if there’s a way to make Grok leak out the prompt.

Marketing probably asked everyone to write a review on their internal Slack or something.

Yeah, once you reach a certain stage in life it’s basically the only way you can do any gaming at all.

Yeah, there’s not exactly a lot of role playing to be done, especially not in story mode.

Yep, the lesser Bush and Trump I shows that Democrats are not interested in punishing crimes committed by Republicans.
