Samson Sky首席执行官表示,相互冲突的法律使飞行汽车停飞

币界网报道:

虽然克服监管障碍对加密货币行业来说并不是什么新鲜事,但在更古老、更重要的空中和地面运输领域,这是一个特别严峻的挑战。尽管几十年来人们一直要求飞行汽车,但即使是今天制造飞行汽车的公司也受到了阻碍。

然而,随着新的州级法规的通过,包括明尼苏达州所谓的“杰森法案”,允许私人拥有这些多功能飞行器,飞行汽车正在逐渐成为美国的主流。总部位于俄勒冈州雷德蒙德的Samson Sky是推动制造飞行汽车的公司之一。

Samson Sky创始人兼首席执行官Sam Bousfield表示,许多飞行汽车公司之所以失败,是因为美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)和交通部(DOT)这两个机构的联邦法律相互冲突。

Bousfield在接受Decrypt采访时表示:“你有美国联邦航空局的所有飞机规则,他们有很多,然后你有美国运输部的所有地面规定。”。“这两套(规定)有时会相互抵触,但你必须同时满足这两套规定才能作为地面和空中车辆运行。”

为了克服这一点,该团队将他们的车辆归类为实验飞机,其FAA规则较少,并将其归类为摩托车,因为它有三个轮子,这简化了DOT合规性。该公司指出,他们内置了额外的安全功能。

Bousfield说:“尽管我们没有被要求,但我们还是加倍努力,在前后防撞区提供碰撞保护,以及美国联邦航空局要求的侧面入侵保护和翻车保护。”。

Samson Sky成立于2008年,是Switchblade飞行跑车的开发商。Switchblade是一款紧凑型敞篷汽车和飞机,该公司表示,其最大空速为200英里/小时,巡航速度为160英里/小时。最大航程为450英里。这意味着它可以用一罐汽油从加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥飞往硅谷或圣何塞。

据Samson Sky报道,该公司正在接受Switchblade的预订,价格为17万美元。Switchblade的设计也适合安装在典型的车库内,其大小与本田雅阁相当。

虽然有些人可能认为这是一种新奇、浪费或不必要的东西,但Bousfield说,飞行汽车的实际好处是令人信服的。

他说:“我认为,当人们看到Switchblade节省了大量时间时,他们会改变主意。”。

在Bousfield看来,在上述例子中,从圣地亚哥到圣何塞的旅程大约需要7个小时的车程,而飞行只需要1小时25分钟。

Bousfield说:“几十年来,人们一直梦想着飞行汽车。”。“这是全世界的共同梦想。我与许多国家的人交谈过,他们几乎都有同样的想法。他们认为我们应该拥有它们,他们想知道我们为什么不这样做,然后[问],‘我们现在可以拥有一个吗?’”

另一家飞向天空的公司是总部位于圣何塞的航空航天公司Archer Aviation,该公司于6月获得美国联邦航空管理局的批准,在洛杉矶领空运营其“空中出租车”服务。

a16z: AI's 'Amnesia', Can Continuous Learning Cure It?

The article "a16z: AI's 'Amnesia' – Can Continual Learning Cure It?" explores the limitations of current large language models (LLMs), which, like the protagonist in the film *Memento*, are trapped in a perpetual present—unable to form new memories after training. While methods like in-context learning (ICL), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and external scaffolding (e.g., chat history, prompts) provide temporary solutions, they fail to enable true internalization of new knowledge. The authors argue that compression—the core of learning during training—is halted at deployment, preventing models from generalizing, discovering novel solutions (e.g., mathematical proofs), or handling adversarial scenarios. The piece introduces *continual learning* as a critical research direction to address this, categorizing approaches into three paths: 1. **Context**: Scaling external memory via longer context windows, multi-agent systems, and smarter retrieval. 2. **Modules**: Using pluggable adapters or external memory layers for specialization without full retraining. 3. **Weights**: Enabling parameter updates through sparse training, test-time training, meta-learning, distillation, and reinforcement learning from feedback. Challenges include catastrophic forgetting, safety risks, and auditability, but overcoming these could unlock models that learn iteratively from experience. The conclusion emphasizes that while context-based methods are effective, true breakthroughs require models to compress new information into weights post-deployment, moving from mere retrieval to genuine learning.

Can a Hair Dryer Earn $34,000? Deciphering the Reflexivity Paradox in Prediction Markets

An individual manipulated a weather sensor at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport with a portable heat source, causing a Polymarket weather market to settle at 22°C and earning $34,000. This incident highlights a fundamental issue in prediction markets: when a market aims to reflect reality, it also incentivizes participants to influence that reality. Prediction markets operate on two layers: platform rules (what outcome counts as a win) and data sources (what actually happened). While most focus on rules, the real vulnerability lies in the data source. If reality is recorded through a specific source, influencing that source directly affects market settlement. The article categorizes markets by their vulnerability: 1. **Single-point physical data sources** (e.g., weather stations): Easily manipulated through physical interference. 2. **Insider information markets** (e.g., MrBeast video details): Insiders like team members use non-public information to trade. Kalshi fined a剪辑师 $20,000 for insider trading. 3. **Actor-manipulated markets** (e.g., Andrew Tate’s tweet counts): The subject of the market can control the outcome. Evidence suggests Tate’sociated accounts coordinated to profit. 4. **Individual-action markets** (e.g., WNBA disruptions): A single person can execute an event to profit from their pre-placed bets. Kalshi and Polymarket handle these issues differently. Kalshi enforces strict KYC, publicly penalizes insider trading, and reports to regulators. Polymarket, with its anonymous wallet-based system, has historically been more permissive, arguing that insider information improves market accuracy. However, it cooperated with authorities in the "Van Dyke case," where a user traded on classified government information. The core paradox is reflexivity: prediction markets are designed to discover truth, but their financial incentives can distort reality. The more valuable a prediction becomes, the more likely participants are to influence the event itself. The market ceases to be a mirror of reality and instead shapes it.
