@SinfulMeatStick @MerlijnTrader If you under withhold you may be subject to penalties. Don't listen to these idiots.

@MerlijnTrader Iโm a W2 employee how do I stop the government from stealing my money?
English

UNREAL:
๐บ๐ธ U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said something extraordinary.
"Change your withholding. You will get an automatic real wage increase."
Translation: stop letting the government take your money upfront.
Keep it yourself. Every week. Every month.
The U.S. Treasury Secretary just told Americans to hold onto their own money.
That is not a normal thing for a Treasury Secretary to say.

@deepwhitman @amasad Let's just all pretend Amazon didn't start off as an online bookseller
English

People don't get it.
I'm able to get Gemma-4-31B running at 15 tokens per second at a nice walking pace and up to 50 tokens when running now. This is the future of local healthy sustainable AI.

@elonmusk @iliketeslas @Tesla_AI I just bought an AI4 car, I hope it doesnโt happen the same than with HW3
English


@interstng_timez @ATabarrok This is exactly what will actually happen.
English

@ATabarrok I really don't think you will get 3 day weeks, more like 40% lose their job and others are asked to do 6 days as they are so more productive with AI tools.
English

Imagine I told you that AI was going to create a 40% unemployment rate. Sounds catastrophic. Now imagine I told you that AI was going to create a 3-day working week. Sounds wonderful.
Yet to a first approximation these are the same thing. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevoluโฆ
English

@ATabarrok 3-day workweek is fine as long as the cost of living is also reduced 40%. 40% unemployment means our society collapses. The "first approximation" premise is absurd.
English

@rohanpaul_ai No worries, they won't need those tools on the unemployment line.
English

Fortune: Companies are spending millions on AI while most employees still refuse to use it.
Roughly 80% of enterprise workers in this survey either skipped company AI tools, did the work manually, or did not use AI at all, even while companies kept raising spending on digital transformation.
Executives saying the tools are ready while workers say the tools are confusing, poorly explained, and untrustworthy for serious decisions.
imo, skill issue, probably for most.

Tesla puts a lot of effort into ensuring that our cars donโt run over animals
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
More than 350 million vertebrate animals are killed by human driven vehicles every year. In general, autonomous vehicles are much better than humans at dodging animals. A compilation I made of @Teslaโs FSD stopping for animals, and often saving their lives:
English

@Teslarati this is moronic... now the driver on the cross street has no way of knowing if this car will stop or keep going. Better to have nothing there at all.
English

@Tesla_AI Can't believe we're on 14.3 and pothole avoidance is still on the future list
English

New release of FSD Supervised now starting to roll out
This update brings 20% faster reaction time to further increase safety, among many other improvements
Full release notes below
Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.3 includes
- Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, resulting in improvements in a wide variety of driving scenarios.
- Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, improving understanding in rare and low-visibility scenarios, strengthening 3D geometry understanding, and expanding traffic sign understanding.
- Rewrote the AI compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed.
- Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors.
- Increased decisiveness of parking spot selection and maneuvering.
- Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a (P) icon.
- Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles.
- Improved handling of small animals by focusing RL training on harder examples and adding rewards for better proactive safety.
- Improved traffic light handling at complex intersections with compound lights, curved roads, and yellow light stopping โ driven by training on hard RL examples sourced from the Tesla fleet.
- Improved handling for rare and unusual objects extending, hanging, or leaning into the vehicle path by sourcing infrequent events from the fleet.
- Improved handling of temporary system degradations by maintaining control and automatically recovering without driver intervention, reducing unnecessary disengagements.
Upcoming Improvements
- Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling.
- Add pothole avoidance.
- Improve driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.

@DavidFischer Played it poorly in the arcade. It was insanely expensive to play. Money better spent on Zaxon ๐
English

@Tekeee $700 000 invested, with a 10% return gives you $70 000 yearly.
Thatโs enough to live off.

@cryptopunk7213 many are just technicians that have spent a lot of time honing their craft. if they were true creatives they'd be excited about leveraging the new technology. you can tell when they admit they believe art's value is proportional to the labor involved to produce it
English

genuine question: why are the arts and gaming communities so fucking touchy about ai?
i get that 99% of examples are slop but weโre reaching a point where ai-generated media is indistinguishable for 90% of the world
that shouldnโt go un-acknowledged just because you want to hide behind a professional identity
ai isnโt going away, itโs getting (a lot) better, so why not try and figure out how to work with it to your advantage? isnโt that what a bunch of hollywood is realising now?
doomer: โNO THIS IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO PIXAR GRADEโ
8 year old (target audience): โhaha thatโs awesomeโ
what am i missing?
Is this a 3D model?@IsThisA3DModel
no and this is nowhere close to "Pixar-grade"
English

@BuckeyeBackup @GravySauceCream no that one is worse
English

@GravySauceCream Completely agree
The only other one thatโs equally as bad is women/woman

@callmethebear @BullandBaird bro give it a fucking rest
English

@BullandBaird Imagine the mental gymnastics and farfetched concepts one has to believe to think we actually went to the moon 57 years ago and are flying around in an infinite void called space?
English

@TSharp12086 @NavyStrang This has the same energy as a sports fan saying "we won" the championship
English

One of them is on its way to the moon, the other keeps blowing up. I guess NASA concentrated on the important stuff.

@Kasparov63 @fchollet which humans? i opened a random test and couldn't even figure out what the hell i was supposed to do
English


@Trader_Pow @TeslaJoy They just offered trade-in with FSD transfer to me last month. Not happening until AI5 comes out. I'm not getting butt-fucked by Elon again.
English

I completely understand that HW3.0 is aging, and it's a lot to ask such an old hardware to keep up with FSD.
But WHY can't they let us transfer FSD to our new Tesla vehicles? To reward us early adopters who paid full price up front for an incomplete software?
Like at least give all of us a one time transfer.
