^-- 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.

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)

The when that makes it into production:

Thx! I’m bad with computers, I appreciate it.

It’s 18 (imperial) pints deep and late for the rugby match

Seriously!!!

(My model, Toyota Tacoma 3rd gen, breaks the other way. $300ish from local place, $700ish from Safelite. Both WAY lower than $2,400)

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

what a thoroughly benighted concept

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)

(No kidding - Bezos seems to ruin the other things he touches, like Blue Origin and The WaPo, but Zoox is actually making great progress! Probably because Beez isn’t a car guy, he’s a yacht guy I guess.)

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.

Oh GAWD now I can’t unsee it

Well it had a chance of finishing its education, before it got Musked while getting off the school bus

The kid mannequin doesn’t do much thinking anymore, RIP <3

Half Life 1 and 2 both feel like quantum leaps into the future in this context.

But I am glad that Mirror’s Edge got the feature, just on style alone :) Portal too (and Portal 2)

I’m sort of baffled by the range. “Ten or so” is the commonly reported number I saw, so I ran with that, but I have also seen higher estimates.

Like, surely, Tesla needs to report the exact number to the state, right? How is it possible that we don’t know, it’s just such a bootleg setup.

There are 1,500 Waymos on the road presently (not 1,500 to 3,000), which Waymo themselves announce because Waymo isn’t a circus act: https://waymo.com/blog/2025/05/scaling-our-fleet-through-us-manufacturing

The human safety operator just placidly smiling as he drops them off directly in an intersection (in the line of travel of a pickup truck) was pretty funny.

As if to say: “Go on. Go out and get what you paid for.”

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.
