The key point, which at least the top comment here is missing and others may overlook of the article, is that the article states that the USD currency reserve is still the same but that the other currencies being present in the mix have increased and thus the USD proportion has decreased (not that the absolute amount of USD being held decreased). However, the implication is still the same and that is that the rest of the world's central banks are holding relatively less USD.
> Autonomous vehicles might see their surroundings with unprecedented clarity.
This is a pretty good point, which gets me to wonder whether the developers of autonomous vehicles use variable focus adjustments as a part of their ML stack? Or simply set the focal point to infinity.
The image is a byproduct in autonomous driving. Successful implementations (Waymo) use lidar, which doesn’t need focal adjustments. If for some reason quality RGB pixels are needed (e.g. for entity recognition) then they will probably focus on moving objects. This paper ties in nicely with lidar since it apparently needs depth information to work which is exactly what lidar provides
From the "about" it seems that the data is from atmospheric models based on flight paths. However, it would be cool if the data could be inferred from satellite sensing.
Can someone please clarify: For the phone number to reach the enclave for use during search via XOR, won't it need to come in as regular RAM via the backend's API call?
Also, I wish there was a setting to disable ChatGPT in its system prompt to have access to my name and location. There was a study on an LLM(s) (not image gen) a couple of years ago (I can't find the study now) which showed that an unfiltered OSS version had racist views towards certain diasporas.
> Our stock price will move capriciously, occasionally falling 50% or so as has happened three times in 60 years under present management. Don’t despair; America will come back and so will Berkshire shares.
The part about the clock chip using the frequency of the AC power source as a clock source is pretty nifty, but then +-14 minutes/day of inaccuracy (+-2%) as the article mentions, is pretty off.
> the wafers are ludicrously high revenue/margin products.
Agree except this point, as at least for MCUs which are of US origin and yet cost ~$1 per chip which also includes reel packaging and distribution margins etc.
