I cannot read the pages on the Claude website. I am using pi-hole and that causes text not being rendered. Annoying.

I’m trying to understand the conversation around “world models.” Why is Tesla’s FSD rarely mentioned in these discussions? Their system perceives, reasons, and acts in the physical world, and they train it using large-scale simulation/digital-twin environments. In what sense does FSD not count as a world model—or does it, and I’m missing something?

Used QGis for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Could only used it with the help of ChatGPT. But, I got what I wanted in a reasonable amount of time.

Driving in the UK can be quite a shock when you're used to the roads in the Netherlands. The speed at which people navigate roundabouts can feel terrifying, and the maximum speed in the countryside is something else. Going *60 mph* on narrow roads with limited visibility is just crazy. The locals just speed by. I guess it's just what you're used to.

Right on time. Very useful for a project I am working on.

And can you copy and/or save the generated image?

It should be quite easy to stop a Tesla on Autopilot. You just drive in front of it and you slow down. And the Tesla behind you slows down automatically. Just like in a traffic jam. Autopilot is not switching lanes on itself.

You are underestimating the life time expectancy of EV Batteries and the availability of charging stations. A holiday trip over in the northern countries in Europe (Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway) of around 3500 kilometers is very, very doable. There are charging stations everywhere. Even at remote mountain stations. Granted these countries are at the forefront of the EV car transition. Electrifying transportation is possible. Just as we were able to build a massive oil-infrastructure, we will and are able to build the necessary electric and battery infrastructure. Even in remote areas. You build charging stations with wind and/or solar power and a battery. That's it. It doesn't even need to be connected to the grid. They are already being build in Africa like this (and also provide power to local villages). They cost money to build of course, but the business model is there.

Same experience in Norway. Most day-to-day operations are handled using apps. Ordering at restaurants using QR codes, finding out bus routes and paying for a (digital) bus tickets, paying for a parking spot, using EV charging stations, etc. It is all done using an app. Apple Pay is a blessing. It takes a bit of getting used to. Especially as a tourist. But it works great. But I hate think what would happen if a loose my phone…

I struggle to understand how GPT-3 executes code. Is it simply running a python (or any other language) interpreter? Or is GPT-3 itself interpreting and executing python code? If the latter question is true that would be amazing.
