If you point out a bug to an LLM and it's says "I now see that if statement is wrong", it's because somewhere in training data is a stack overflow post matching a similar pattern with the comment "this if statement is wrong", not because the LLM actually gamed out the logic.

I know some people get out annoyed at over-simplifying LLMs as "fancy autocomplete" but this kind of problem demonstrates why that is still accurate: LLMs can string together text seen previously, even with some changes to replaceable values, but no LLM is actually thinking through logic.

Why do we have to live in a time when the only way to buy most stuff is online yet every online order sends a seperate email and text message every time your package moves five feet?
Email me a single tracking link when my order ships and I'll check it if I want updates.

It's true that there will probably always be need for some sort of car in cities for some limited uses, but bringing a car into the city is always a compromise and must be weighed carefully for the impacts it will cause.

For example, Eurosky is just a PDS, it still depends on bsky for everything else, but Blacksky runs their own moderation, their own relays, their own app view, etc. You can use Blacksky regardless of what bsky thinks, all bsky can do is maybe limit their own users from seeing you.

That's where the "most people are still on bsky infrastructure" from my original thread quoted above comes in. Yes, they control a huge proportion of the overall network right now, but more and more alternatives are coming online.

In short, Bluesky PBC can control what users hosted on its PDSes do and what users using it's Relays, App Views, and moderation service (labeler) see, but if you and the audience viewing your content aren't on their infrastructure, control is up to whoever does host that infrastructure.

And Bluesky doesn't have algorithms by default in how it shows users content. Your default feed is just a chronological feed of everything you follow. Different feeds can have algorithms that change but in the default feed bsky isn't tweaking who sees what.

Bsky can choose to label your content so users subscribed to their labeler see their choice of labels, and in an extreme circumstance they could block a whole PDS that breaks their terms from the users, but they can't choose to restrict your account directly at all.

Moderation belongs to the labeler (and PDS). Choosing to keep your data online is up to the PDS (they can remove spam accounts or ToS violations from their servers) and labels applied to an account are only active for those who subscribe to a labellling service.

(Angled lidar directly behind/beside the vehicle feels like autonomous, but that's also more sensors than most autonomous are currently using, which might indicate mapping?)

Also, that does look like it could be an autonomous test vehicle, but it might just be a lidar scanner platform for doing environment mapping? Production autonomous vehicles usually won't use racks but test or mapping vehicles might.

Not a vehicle waymo has operated and most of their current models have custom sensor fairings, not exposed roof racks and rails. Also no waymo logo. Not sure what vehicles they're running in the UK but I doubt that is it.

Screenshot of a weather app cropped closely on the temperature section. It shows a current temp of 29Β°F, a high of 72Β°F, and a low of 43Β°F
