This might sound kinda campy… but I’d be totally down for something that makes it look like a toaster… haha

Couldn’t that have been an underlying block error?

Do we know if they tried 2 different disks?


Yeah… the issue might be exchange rate though between those … let’s call them crypto? Tokens and how much Llm might cost.

As a dev in a couple different opensource communities I would love a subsidized AI/Llm subscription to help create test cases and maybe find things I missed.

Might be a minority opinion though lol


Why not both? :)

Hyperscalers generally have access to preferred pricing. Would be great to have access to that for open source projects.


Does Amazon or eBay get the same fine? Haha it’s the same people on all of these sites …. Just some dropshipping ?

I've been done by illegal electronics on Amazon too many times. They don't seem to care at all. You can still buy chargers on them that are in an advisory red list on gov UK....

I'm not against consumer protection but these moves seem political, Europe hate China just like Russia, they want to counter China economically.

Otherwise why fine out of the blue when this had been going for years.

And what about western countries violate those laws, lobbied or deliberately turning a blind eye.


Amazon is also under investigation under DSA, eBay is not big enough (in the EU) to matter under this law.

I was about to mention this ! They collude so often

Good to see more competition.


Dacs are great … they let you avoid having to convert to optical or having to splice your own cable.

Downside the cables are kind of heavy and sometimes folks dont like that.


Main advantage for me was saving the cost of the SPF (surprisingly pricey f^#%rs) on each end.


Huh, what were you doing, buying Cisco/HPE, or trying to use fancy single mode optics for distances that DACs could do?


I just wanted to use my CRS305-1G-4S+IN without spending more on SPF modules than I did on the cards/switch.


Have you looked at what 10gtek is selling? I tried two low-price SFP+ SR, multi-mode module vendors way back when I first got my CRS326-24G-2S+ switches and 10gtek's modules were the one that worked. Newegg is currently selling a four-pack of them for ~52 USD, and singles for ~18 USD.

The ones I have run warm (~50C in ~25C ambient) but I've had mine for something like four, maybe five years now and they're still working fine.


SFP* sorry :)


This guy knows what he’s talking about.

Born and raised in GA, it wasn’t until I moved to CA, the bay specifically, after college that I realized things like flood warnings multiple times a month and, flooded out roads during the summer weren’t just part of life lolll

My ex moved to ATL from Seattle, and it was just WILD watching her go… “you guys have RAIN, here… like it comes down HARD”

When Waymo came here and also when Tesla started doing self driving (I drive a Tesla with FSD ) majority of the time, I was constantly seeing things that were GA specific that these systems were just clearly not trained to handle.

The data was there but it wouldn’t surprise me if the folks building these ADAS systems had just no clue what to do to handle cases like “ice storm caused all the roads to be iced over and now there’s no lane markings” and “flash flood comes out of no where” and “it’s so dark there no street lights for a couple of miles”


> My ex moved to ATL from Seattle, and it was just WILD watching her go… “you guys have RAIN, here… like it comes down HARD”

So it makes sense to first rollout to a place with frequent, lighter rain - no? As an outsider, Waymo's approach seems to be solving challenges step-by-step, and the criticism in this thread is asking why it hasn't already solved the hardest cases.

I wouldn't be surprised if Waymos are confidently driving into flooded roads because they "know" where the markings are without sensing the markings. Lidar-based GPS + SLAM are now very good at calculating location, as long as features like buildings or trees are still present.


You don't understand! Google is trying to do something difficult, and because they haven't solved all possible theoretical problems with it, they should just give up and go home and never try anything difficult ever.


This is a common retort used to cut cost and push things out the door in tech during mvp. However, given most of the world doesn’t look like the west coast, maybe having human drivers would’ve been a good idea until a couple of seasons had passed.

Also they could’ve tested this in other places too?


Next year is gonna be when the “switch” comes lollll


And the switch will continue, it won't be a one-time event. Like how the price of Netflix etc. keeps going up periodically.

If people's dependence on their streaming service keeps them captive, just wait until people have gone 5 years without doing real work.


Next year we will have new deepseek.


I see a couple of possibilities

1) someone deepseeks deepseek lol:

Generates their own weights and figures out a way to determine all of the intermediate states.

2) places realize there’s real risk with using a model that might have things baked into it that produce specific flaws that could be security bugs, but only under certain conditions.


A lot of us forget it, but things like text to speech, subtitles etc are there for the differently abled

Without that, there wouldn’t really be great vlm and conversational models.

The AI companies might have paid for the dictation of some videos on their own but voice assistants etc wouldn’t have existed and our ability to have AI that eventually understands the world would be much much harder.


> A lot of us forget it, but things like text to speech, subtitles etc are there for the differently abled

They are there for everyone. You don’t need to have a permanent disability to benefit from accessibility features. A device designed to work one handed is useful to someone without an arm or a person with two arms who is holding a baby. Subtitles are useful to someone who can’t hear or someone lying to a sleeping spouse or in a noisy place.

“Accessibility needs can be permanent, temporary or situational.”

So we're blaming disabled people now.


lol I’m saying working on accessibility features has helped more than those of us that are sighted. Often times for a lot of us, it’s a drag and comes lower on the priority list, but without it AI, llms etc wouldn’t have the ability to programmatically understand the world.

You however…. Maybe need to switch to decaf?
