Elon Musk decided they absolutely would not use lidar, years ago when lidar was expensive enough that a decision like that made economic sense to at least try making work. Nowadays lidar is a lot cheaper but for whatever reason Musk has drawn a line in the sand and refuses to back down on it.

Unlike many people online these days I don't believe that Musk is some kind of sheer-luck bought-his-way-into-success grifter, he has been genuinely involved in many of the decisions that made his companies grow. But this is one of the downsides of that (Cybertruck is another). He's forced through ideas that turned out to be amazing, but he's also forced through ideas that sucked. He seems to be increasingly having trouble distinguishing them.

They believe that Jesus will come back when Armageddon happens, and Armageddon is supposed to happen in Israel.

Bear in mind, that's the sound of a 19 year old kid who didn't want to go on that trip dying.

They're holding it in Kananaskis, nicely tucked away in the mountains away from easy access by protestors. There's a lot of people in Alberta who'd show up and make a scene otherwise.

They can make whatever excuses they want, as long as the result is the same. They need to narrow their focus to serve the browser and this is a step in that direction.

Pocket used to be a separate extension. Firefox bought it out and integrated it. It could go back to being a separate extension again, I suppose.

Personally, I think this is a good thing. Firefox is looking at some rocky financial times ahead and I'm happy to see Mozilla narrowing its focus to making just a damn browser please. As long as the browser has a good solid framework for extensions then all this extra functionality can be provided by others just as easily.

IMO this is fine, it's not really a pension plan's role to be trying to manipulate what industries are doing well. A pension plan should be primarily focused on getting good long-term returns.

If you want that to not happen then you should focus on policies that make carbon-producing industries not produce good long-term returns in the first place. Then the pension plans and everyone else will stop investing in them as a natural consequence.

If they remain profitable and your pension plan stops investing in them, that just means you're handing free money to the people who remain willing to invest in them.

You're still setting a high standard here. What counts as a "well trained" human and how many SO commenters count as that? Also "easier to teach" is complicated. It takes decades for a human to become well trained, an LLM can be trained in weeks. And an individual computer that'll be running the LLM is "trained" in minutes, it just needs to load the model into memory. Once you have an LLM you can run as many instances of it as you want to spend money on.

There's no guarantee LLM will get reliably better at everything

Never said they would. I said they're as bad as they're ever going to be, which allows for the possibility that they don't get any better.

Even if they don't, though, they're still good enough to have killed Stack Overflow.

It still makes some mistakes today that it did when introduced and nobody knows how to fix that yet

And humans also make mistakes. Do we know how to fix that yet?

If they aren't comfortable with their Discord messages being public, perhaps they shouldn't have posted those messages in a public forum that the public can access.
