You can't include Baidu in the list and say Google has 90% market share. Saying Baidu has 1-3% without specifying "in the USA" is misleading. They've got a billion users in China.


I try to use DDG as my default but it's so awful at knowledge-graph questions. I find myself using !g for knowledge queries before even attempting it.

An example would be something like "Rick and Morty episodes." I know google will give me a list with recent/upcoming episode names and air dates for pretty much any show. DDG will link me wikipedia and fan wikis. I make a "<show> episodes" query anytime I want to know when the next episode of something is released.

DDG's knowledge graph (and/or query parsing) is just so limited I skip it anytime I think google will be able to produce the answer directly. Similarly, there are things I'm confident asking a voice assistant, and there are things I won't even bother trying. If it's something I'd ask an assistant, I'm skipping DDG.


Chrome is linked to your google accounts and saves your account auth tokens. When you use incognito, it doesn't immediately send that info. However, it does offer to sign you in. This is different from remembering login/passwords.


I don't think their 10980XE and Threadripper videos from this morning are going to win them any favor with Intel. Absolutely savage rants though.

The downclock would only be on the core using the instruction.

You say that about a security issue that could blow California's power grid in minutes.


In fairness, so could a strong breeze, apparently. Thanks, PG&E!


Alright, I'll admit you made me laugh :D


Not having any limits on that invert setting is definitely a security/safety bug.

The password is a level of incompetence beyond what you'd call a bug. It's clearly following a design decision that was imposed by someone with zero security experience.


This is an amazing lack of security best practices. To me, this screams outsourced. Given how many people hate Tesla, they need to be taking this seriously. This truly blows me away. This is "people should be fired" levels of organizational incompetence. There's no way some of these issues haven't already been noticed and put in the issue tracker. They're just not taking it seriously. It reminds me of Boeing to be perfectly honest.


It does not strike me as outsourced, given what we know about software engineering practices at Tesla: https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1032939617404645376


Yeah, some random Twitter account that was never substantiated. Fact: He never provided proof he is who he said he was.


And not just fired for this, but because they are incompetent enough to do something like this in the first place. And that needs to be at however high of a level it was that approved the security plan for this product.


Gemini man is a better example of where this is heading.

A DF has a pretty specific meaning if you are diving into the technical aspects. It's an approach that has a lot of specific limitations that put a practical ceiling on how good it can be. For example, it's a 2D system that won't capture lighting differences with good accuracy. The limitations become more apparent as resolution increases.

Newer systems use source material to generate 3D facial models. The face in the target video is also 'motion captured.' The target video's lighting is estimated and a resulting face image is rendered and composited into the target. That's a lot closer to the pipeline of movies such as Gemini man.

So while DF isn't a technique used in movies, machine learning is heavily involved. It's built into model generation, motion capture, animation, etc. Artists will start with captured/generated assets and hand-tweak them to get the desired result.


It'd be interesting if they went with additional cameras for this. For example, the rear-view mirror is a video feed already. It could stream from a camera you attach to the back of the trailer instead.

I don't have a lot of personal experience with trailers, a few thousand miles maybe. But I've never liked clip on side mirrors. They bounce around/vibrate. A camera system that's optically stabilized and patches into existing displays would feel a lot more natural for someone like me with minimal experience.
