Anxiety for AI ? I don’t follow all developments but it looks « weird » to me. Like AI could benefit from a psychologist or « psychology prompting » in its chain of thought like « don’t panic, you’re the best, you can do it » would have a positive outcome ? Pep talk for AI ?

We should probably be aiming for some stress, but not too much. See *Yerkes–Dodson*

Don’t follow your logic: if the day is currently shorter than 24 hours we need to slow the Earth rotation down, not speed it up.

You’re right, I had that backwards

Wouldn't this eventually slow down Earth's rotation? The rotational kinetic energy of our planet is 1/5 M * R^2 * w^2 with (approximately) M = 6e34 kg, R = 6.3e6m, w = 7.4e-5 rad/s, which gives approximately 5e36 joules. Yearly we need roughly 3e16 Wh. Yeah ok there's plenty. Woah! (also, I may be off by some orders of magnitude)

Can we put energy in to speed it up?

That way a day can be 24 hours exactly instead of 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds, etc...

How does this even work in Japan after this change.

There's so many stories of corporate overwork.

Does the entire country just desperately want to work for the government?

I guess only Nixon could go to China?

When the US government adopts an employment policy private companies usually follow. Either because they do business with the government and have to comply, or it affects so many people there's a shift in norms.

It’s sad that only Google can (and honestly a bit surprising that Google hasn’t) use multimodal video models to index the semantic contents & transcripts of these videos for search. Huge long tail of unique content.

It is! I've often wanted to search for something that happens in a video instead of just the title, description, and keywords.

Cool project, a mild pet peeve with this type of thing - I have to read 75% of the README before I find out what it even does. The first bits make a huge assumption about what the reader knows.
DriverDaily · 10 months ago
It's probably safe to assume that if you're looking for a fork of Firecrawl, you already know what Firecrawl does.

It won’t work as you expect. Most of these drivers don’t have insurance. Second, you might make things worse, as now you have other Karen-like drivers who will eventually start threatening other people to report them, and that will escalate a situation from flipping a bird to a more dangerous situation. I sometimes watch dashcam rage videos on YouTube, and these drivers won’t care or even become more aggressive once told there’s a dashcam. This is not to mention the questionable results of ML that could report false positives.

> Karen-like drivers who will eventually start threatening other people to report them,

That's an argument for automating the system, taking the biased human actor out of the process.

Not really. All safe planes have a safe record and a safe record implies some amount of inherent safety. Since safety is really hard to quantify and compare and in some ways is qualitative, the safety record is a justifiable and defendable proxy for comparing safety.
DriverDaily · 2 years ago
We’re on the same page.

You’re acknowledging that the safety record is just a proxy for safety. That’s what I’m saying too.

I would argue that using the number of incidents as a proxy for safety ignores the trend.

I'll never consider this plane safe unless Boeing fixes the process the yielded these systemic quality problems.
DriverDaily · 2 years ago
So your assesment of how safe the plane is doesn't depend on anything except Boeing's process? For example, you don't care about the number of accidents per operating hours?
