  • The Cause of Grok’s Increasing Antisemitism? Apparently, Two Lines of Code (Update: One of the Lines of Code Was Removed)

  • ^-- to my knowledge, this is accurate.

    System prompts are the easy but wildly unpredictable way to change LLM output, but we really can't back-trace or debug that output, we guess at what impact the s.p. edits will have.

    Jump

  • I sort of agonized over the wording - if the system prompt is uploaded to Github, is it code, or is it documentation?

    The lines are numbered like code, and I'm used to debugging software pointing out code errors by line numbers. So, code.

    Don't worry, if you're confused, we'll all be thrown into the same chaotic soup of coding using natural language :) With vibe coding, we're probably already there and we just don't feel the ramifications yet (or the endemic unemployment in IT is the ramification and we just haven't associated the bullet wound to the loud bang yet)

  • My actual pickup truck (a Toyota Tacoma) costs $275 for an installed windshield.

    The Cybertruck windshield costs nearly 10 times as much for... reasons? Honestly don't even fucking know why. Because Elon knows an easy mark when he sees one, I guess

  • They currently charge a flat rate of $4.20 per ride :|

    Not joking. Is real. Will be replaced by a real number, they'll probably ease their way up to Uber pricing to reinforce that they are the "cheap" option, and then jack up the price (just like Uber did)

  • Well, sort of!

    The reason almost everyone starts in Phoenix AZ is partially the lack of rain. It's also a friendly regulatory environment and a dead-simple street grid structure.

    Austin TX gets as much rain as, say, Chicago IL, neither is particularly dry. And Atlanta GA is very, very rainy. On paper it actually gets more rain than Seattle WA.

    FWIW, LiDAR based autonomous vehicles have figured this out, Waymo can handle all but the heaviest rain (which, TBF, humans also cannot reliably handle)

  • Literally every single Robotaxi ride has some asshole babbling throughout, glazing Elon Musk as the taxi is bouncing off curbs or dumping them when it starts raining.

    The PR play from Tesla here is really, really obnoxious.

    The worst part? It's working. Mainstream media is reporting that early rider reactions are enthusiastic, without mentioning that early riders are exclusively Tesla fandom podcasters.

  • I've noticed that, too.

    The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I'd call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.

    Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.

    Hard to put a finger on it, but there's persistent questions about stock price fixing. A constant joke across Tesla-watching forums. I wouldn't touch that stock with a ten foot pole, it's got a fuse and I'd bet dollars to donuts it is already lit.
