I work on automotive software (not Tesla), and it's like this partially because it makes development _way easier_. Rather than needing to get a whole car to the dev team, you just give them the specific part that they're working on. Anything that needs outside features usually just fails gracefully (e.g. no speedometer or no location for maps). These are usually mocked for testing, or you add the specific ECU that provides it for your testing setup if needed.
Modern cars have tens of ECUs, so if you had to have all of them for testing, that would get unwieldy extremely quickly. Not to mention that cars are pretty resilient to having random parts failing, you don't want to lose the entire dashboard just because the ECU that provides camera data failed, or something.
I work on that software too (again not Tesla). One other thing - often the hardware we get is per-production and has a list of errata that will be fixed before production. They don't want to make too many of these for engineers because it is done in a fast turn-around higher cost factory and it is expected that once in a while things won't work at all (someone forgets to connect power to the CPU pin or something similarly stupid that requires a lot of manual wiring to fix on each one). As such you have to justify getting any controller and often share. Once the product is shipping they make many of them and it isn't a big deal to get one on your desk - but you have now moved onto the next thing and so the problem returns.
Yeah, I expected some gigantic writeup about tricking it into thinking all other systems are connected to it but maybe it's made this way so it's easier to repair without needing the whole car
This is quite literally the end of open source. projects will find themselves in the position of making their test suites private to avoid being sherlocked like this
In Washington voting is free. My ballot comes in the mail, I fill it out, I drop it in the outgoing mail. It's pre-stamped. I don't mind full citizenship verification at the time of registration, as that can be done months before it's actually time to vote.
A (small) majority of states require employers to grant time off to vote and a (large) minority require that time to be paid. Although as others have noted, it is often the case that the window for voting exceeds a single shift (dependent on your area of work).
This administration has consistently signaled that they will do all they legally can to punish those dissenters. Look at the White House labeling recent victims of ICE shootings as "terrorists", despite there being no sign of terroristic activity from these US citizens. Or, look at how the WH is cutting Medicaid benefits to Minnesota.
Going after the visa-holding employees of these companies is within reach of the WH, and it's consistent with their MO.
In the OP, the CEO of Anthropomorphic says "I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies, and to defeat our autocratic adversaries."
Are you saying that the United States government itself is one of those autocratic adversaries?
> They're trying to divide each company with fear that the other will give in. That strategy only works if none of us know where the others stand. This letter serves to create shared understanding and solidarity in the face of this pressure from the Department of War.
This is about spreading information among the companies about each others' position, not a petition to the DoD.
because citizenship is not a prerequisite for defending human rights and differentiating right from wrong. this isn't general election and they are not voting, non citizens still enjoy the rights under the constitution like 1A.
This administration has shown no qualms about enacting retribution against people who speak out against them, no matter how powerless or seemingly irrelevant the person is.
Because noncitizens can be motivated or not and / or resign and, frankly, there isn't that deep of a well of top tier AI talent. The threat of mass resignations led to OAI re-hiring sam altman, after all.
Also why would the department of war care about what citizens think specifically?
Just me or does this seems incredibly frightening to anyone else? Imagine printing a misaligned LLM this way and never being able to update the HW to run a different (aligned) model
It frightens me no more than the possibility of building a flawed airplane or a computer that overheats (looking at you, NVIDIA 12-pin) and "never being able to update the HW". Product recalls and redesigns exist for a reason.
If this happens, womp womp, recall the misaligned LLMs and learn from the mistake. It's part of running a hardware business as opposed to a software one.
I can't imagine they'd go for a full production run before at least testing a couple chips and finding issues.
>can u make the progm for helps that with what in need for shpping good cheap products that will display them on screen and have me let the best one to get so that i can quickly hav it at home
And get back an automatic coupon code app like the user actually wanted.
But that's removing a component that's critical for the test. We as users/benchmark consumers care that the service as provided by Anthropic/OpenAI/Google is consistent over time given the same model/prompt/context
Might as well have the free tokens, then, especially if it is an open benchmark they are already aware of. If they want to game it they cannot be stopped from doing so when it's on their infra.
If a foreign entity came into Florida and bought up 35% of the entire retail infrastructure, you bet the US government would regulate it and demand local value capture.
Case in point - US actively forced TSMC and Samsung to build $65B+ of factories in Arizona and Texas to secure domestic interests.
And Chinese/Korean workers being fired while American workers are being hired by their companies would absolutely be correct to see their jobs being offshored
