  • They acquire and somewhat understand it but it doesn’t get saved. It only lives in the context window.

    The things the big ones can do now are amazing when you have tasks that can be iterated upon until completion. And then there’s Deepseek V4 flash, a much smaller model with a still huge context window that costs an order of magnitude (nearly 2) less than the American frontier models and managed to do some spectacular things for me with essentially no input from me beyond the original prompt. It took hours, but for me to learn the tools and everything would’ve taken days or weeks.

    Still not intelligent the way humans are. Next session starts, it’s all wiped clean until it reads the last session’s notes. But in terms of understanding information and reasoning about it, it’s going to be better than a human that isn’t a domain expert.
















  • Well there’s still like 2 or 3 computers on it most likely if you go by the definition of computer automotive journalists like to use.

    PCM for sure, but could also have TCM if auto, ABS if equipped might have a computer, potentially some kind of BCM…

    When they say a modern car has 100 computers, most of those are actually fairly simple controllers and the reason there are so many is that you can just route canbus and power to them and then run the necessary wires to the sensors and actuators from the modules instead of running a bunch of wires from one single controller to everything. Keeps the harness simpler and lighter.

    My own 20 year old car has 26 “computers”. 4 of them are door controllers that just actuate windows, locks and mirrors.



  • No, LLMs can definitely be useful for cyber too. It’s the whole reason the US government banned Claude Fable for export.

    An LLM can not just try existing exploits like a script kiddy, but with iteration it can try variations and if you know what runs on the server, inspect the source for potential exploits.

    They can also look at your setup and say what issues they see (reverse proxy config, etc).

    Doesn’t replace an expert, but can be useful for a first pass before you get the highly paid people involved.
