Honestly, I don't understand the point you are making. If you can explain to me how the Deutsch-Joza algorithm works without making reference to the fact that a function evaluation happens on a qubit in superposition(and thus an expanded state-space, as the simplest example), sure. I sincerely don't understand your points about classical simulation, or input/output in classical computers.
That car costs over $40k, has worse range than the Model 3, and looks ugly. It seems worse in every way.
Can it be systemic yet not societal? Like biological origins?
> You have to be incredibly out of touch to think people are going to want to rent out their personal car to filthy strangers to help offset the cost of ownership.

You have to be incredibly out of touch to group all car consumers into the same category. That's insulting and rude and wrong.

I, for one, and literally everyone I know in person, would absolutely jump up and down with excitement, throw-our-money-at-Tesla-forever if I could buy a Tesla and rent it out to offset the cost.

You are incredibly out of touch if you think that there aren't hundreds of millions of people just like me on this one.

Edit: And, what, HN agrees that "filthy strangers" is a good way to talk about your fellow peers and neighbours? Ugh. The people renting cars are not "filthy strangers". They're just people. Why is all this hateful language, specifically pointed towards the less-wealthy in society, considered reasonable language on HN? It's rude as shit and infuriating that it's tolerated here.

Your fellow humans are not "filthy strangers".
Tesla didn't pioneer nor kick off electric cars. The only thing they did is market well. They are the kings of marketing.
I think 'Deepfake' is a great name for an episode of Black Mirror.

Holy crap that is some story. Thank you for posting that link.
Agreed -- this seems like a terrible plan. Taxis are designed to be durable more than comfortable, have drivers to constrain rider misbehavior, and generally have fares ride in back, and they still get nasty. If I wanted my car to serve as an unsupervised taxi, it would have to be durable inside, I could never leave any personal belongings in it (e.g. gym bag, sunglasses, recent purchases), and I would have to get it seriously cleaned on a regular basis. That would dramatically increase the cost and/or decrease the value of ownership.

Just look at bikes: either you hire/"share" a 40-pound tank that sucks to ride, rent something decent with a substantial deposit, or buy a nice bike that you would never loan out to random strangers.

Public transportation is a great thing, but it is fundamentally different from private vehicles.
You should be good.
I think the flipside is, if we can't do it, we discover interesting new physics.

You can dynamically link and only have to distribute small binaries.
> Don't underestimate production and quality.

I am not underestimating production and quality. I even said that I think that Tesla's production and quality problems they have currently are their biggest problems. I do not underestimate them - but I also do not think they will sink the company.

> This is not software where you can make changes quickly.

Compared to the previous industry's way of doing things, yes it is like software where you can make changes quickly. Even on the scale of years, Tesla is showing itself to be more agile than traditional car manufacturers.
So glad that they banned this crap. This is actually a fun project to get started with deep learning as you paste Nicholas Cage in every movie you can imagine. Unfortunately it's been dominated by all this porn creepiness. Hopefully the discussion sorrounding this will get friendlier from now on.
> Most other manufacturers work out the kinks before mass production begins.

The vehicle quality reviews on the bottom half of all auto manufacturing says otherwise.

> If Tesla could demonstrate that they were actually capable of producing 20,000 Model 3's in a quarter, people wouldn't be so pessimistic.

They keep proving an ability to produce volumes of cars, and people keep acting like they've never built any cars at all -

"As for its higher-priced Model S sedans and Model X sport utility vehicles, Tesla said it delivered a record number during the quarter. Model S and X deliveries grew 10 percent globally over Tesla's prior record in the third quarter, and were up 28 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2016."

Right now they're forecasting 2,500 per week of the Model 3 for the end of the first quarter. If they can hit that very near-term marker, they can hit 5k in the fourth quarter.

The way the skeptic game has worked - all the way back to the Roadster days - with Tesla is this: the skeptics say blah blah blah, Tesla can't blah blah blah. Then Tesla eventually does what they say they will. Then the skeptics move the goal post, and the entire cycle repeats, while the skeptics continue to pretend Tesla has never produced vehicles at volume. Meanwhile Tesla keeps powering forward, selling more and more vehicles each year, with their revenue skyrocketing.

The law for diffraction-limited systems is that the blurred spot size increases linearly with wavelength. (Double the wavelength, all else being equal, means twice as blurry.) Engineering concerns (for example, how big can you manufacture a CCD before it becomes prohibitively expensive?) determine what constitutes an "excessively large camera." Although, because infrared covers a 1000-fold range between visible and micro, I feel like it would be safe to say that cellphone-sized cameras might never be made for microwaves.

the trick being you have to extract a JOINT property of the function evaluations, rather than the result of each one individually.

This is an even more succinct way of saying it. This is the key point that people need to know, which separates someone from understanding the real potential of quantum computers from "quantum woo."

Let's be clear, even with this caveat, the potential of quantum computing is enormous.

No question. But to think clearly about it, one has to know this caveat. Likewise, to understand the potential of conventional computers, one needs to actually be able to think about computation within its realistic limits, not treat them as magic boxes.
My JPB Story (from ~1998):

I grew up in New Delhi in the late 90s on a steady diet of 2600, phrack, BBSes and the EFF/internet. Two of the people I'd read a lot about and was very inspired by were JPB and Mitch Kapor, as founders of the EFF - and I decided one day that I'd like to actually reach out and talk to Barlow (I didn't actually have a goal in mind, now that I think about it).

Figuring that an email would never get a reply, I added him on AIM. To my utter surprise, he added me back - and after introducing myself as a high schooler who was a fan of the work he was doing, we communicated over the next year or so on a wide variety of topics that included open source, free software and the state of the internet in India at the time. For the next 10 years or so, when AIM was still active, he was one of the very few people still on my contacts list who would go "online" and "offline" with a regular cadence -- one of the only reasons I ever even logged into AIM was to (rarely) say hello :).

Of course, I stopped using the service a long time ago, and lost touch with him - but his declaration of independence of cyberspace was something that I leaned on when researching about internet censorship and policies a few years ago. I never did reach back out to him, and there was no pressing need to either.

On hearing the news, I'm reminded of how prescient and applicable his words have been to the issues and challenges that we see in the internet of today - but also how he personally upheld one beautifully phrased paragraph in particular, by virtue of his accepting a request from, and interacting with a random high schooler from half way across the world.

Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our commu
nications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.

RIP.

That's not what we are talking about. You can transform any public image for parody, criticism, etc. Porn is considered speech so anyone can make pornographic parodies/etc.

This is true. It's not censorable free speech, meaning the government can't prohibit it ahead of time. But speech can be subject to tort claims despite surviving the First Amendment. A deepfake victim can sue for damages in civil courts, and there's a 99.99999% chance they'd win massive damages every time.

This is especially true if fans are doing so for fun and not for profit

Profit motive may affect the amount of damages, but it doesn't effect whether or not the victim can sue and win in a court of law. Even in the US, you'd be paying out significant damages to someone for damage to reputation or use of likeness.

Adding Context to CockroachDB’s Article “Your Database Should Work Like a CDN”
In Conversation: Quincy Jones
I have seen a growth of such "vcs-like" databases, but I think the preponderance remains SQL stores like MySQL/MSSQL/Postegres or NoSQL like Mongo/Cassandra/Redis/Couch/etc. For those - or anything that has its own model of storage or processing and, in the end, is backed by filesystem-type storage, dotmesh provides a really nice solution.

I haven't used Relaxo itself, but personally, I like the fact that independent groups are thinking of version control semantics for data. Tells me it is heading in a positive direction.
This article kind of addresses that. It mentions that this has been known but says it is unclear whether these high protein diets are effective for groups outside of your traditional, male bodybuilder.

I've always had the impression the lowrider subculture is still at least an active thing in Southern California? I grew up in an area with a sizeable Hispanic population on the East Coast and never really got a whiff of it though.

I can't speak for the "scene" anywhere but where I live, but you never really hear of skinheads in the US, and the handful I've ever seen are generally older (late thirties and up) and typically exist as a part of a punk scene. It's common enough to see a few older dudes in Fred Perry's with shaved heads at a show in my small southern city. I got to a lot of shows, see everything from a buncha street punks in spiky jackets bumming gas money to "feminist" punk bands but can't say I've seen a skinhead band come through.

As I said, I claim to know nothing about the "scene" anywhere but in my town, but at the very least the music hasn't died out. You still have major Oi! / skinhead adjacent acts like Cock Sparrer around, apolitical skins[1], and plenty of newer skinhead-esque bands[2][3]. Of course these are all in the UK / EU. Seems there are a few labels around, and the videos have good enough production values that I imagine there have to be a fair enough number of skins around to buy the records / merch. Seems some older, lesser known skinhead acts are on the same label as some of the aforementioned new ones, so there appears to be a bit of continuity. At least continuity beyond "art school hipsters."

I've done it both ways. Waiting out the diarrhea sucks, but it won't kill you if you have access to potable water. Getting rid of it with drugs requires a significant shake-down from the health care racket in the States, or pocket change elsewhere. In any case, you are unlikely to have to make the choice more than once in your lifetime if you exercise a bit of caution and common sense.
They were expecting to lose even more money this quarter, so that headline is slightly misleading.

They did in fact ignite the electric car market. The attempts to deny them credit for that are fascinating.

Every major auto manufacturer is aggressively moving to electric vehicles because of the spark that Tesla provided. It wasn't the Nissan Leaf that caused BMW to freak out and radically alter their plans and move everything toward electric. The same goes for all the rest of the automakers.

It'd be like pretending the iPhone didn't set off the smartphone boom, because hey the blackberry existed.

If you're going to dig around in the source code for a 1970's BASIC interpreter one of the more interesting commands to disassemble is 'RENUM'. It tells a lot about how the language stores its intermediate structure (not quite a bytecode, but it is highly tokenized).

RENUM takes a program that has had insertions done to it and renumbers the lines so they are multiples of 10 again. For added complexity and to avoid overwriting your carefully laid out library calls with high line number subroutines for easy memorization you could limit the range within which the RENUM would operate.

Typical use: RENUM 0,1000,10 -> renumber all the lines from 0 to 1000 with a step of 10.
They have used the likeness of Bruce Lee, Carrie Fischer, Prince, and Peter Cushing in commercial works, undoubtedly without prior consent.

They licensed their likenesses from their estate, or used licensed footage (i.e., film clips of Bruce Lee).

We also have "public" nude photos taken and distributed of celebrities on a regular basis (paparazzi).

Photos taken in public are not subject to the same tort concerns as private photos, or faked photos purporting to be of a celebrity.
I still think you are underestimating how much effort goes into production and quality of physical products. The "previous industry" are no dummies and they have optimized their processes for a long time. It will be very difficult for Tesla to catch up in short time.
>> But what if somebody finds you attractive, and looks at your picture whilst... you know. Can you sue? No, they're well within their rights to do so. What if they cut your face out and place it over a Playboy centerfold? Same deal. Several technogical innovations later, here we are. Fundamentally, nothing has changed.

How did we go from "somone masturbates over a collage of your face over a picture on a magazine" (presumably, in the privacy of their own home) to "someone posts fake porn of you on the internet for all to see"?

That's not a matter of "technological innovations". It's a matter of a gross violation of your dignity, an insult to your personality performed in public and with the express intention to humiliate you in front of the widest audience possible.

The photographer owns the copyright in the photo, but not the right to use your likeness contained in the photo without your permission (likeness rights are also referred to as model rights).

This means that you can demand money if the photographer sells that photo to anyone, especially if the sale is for commercial use.

I don't expect Tesla to catch up in a short time. It has already been decades almost, and I would expect it to be decades more. Without doing any real math, 2040, 2050 seems like a good mental calculation result for when I would expect Tesla to be a larger company that matches or surpasses the outputs of their competitors in terms of car production. Yes, it takes a long time to build a car company. Tesla isn't going anywhere, production issues or not. They will find a way, and they will do it more efficiently than previous car companies.

> The "previous industry" are no dummies

I don't agree with this, but I wouldn't use the word dummy exactly either. I would say stubborn, and they are very very stubborn. It will take them longer to pivot to winning and sustainable strategies like Tesla's than it will for Tesla to resolve its production and scaling issues.
Everyone measures and compares oneself to others all the time, why spend even more energy and time on that? Just try to not make stupid moves and all the rest should be fine
On the flip side of that, the human brain seems to be willing to jump through serious hoops to both be shamed and leverage shame against others who fail to conform. We've got such a strong biological urge to fit in precisely because those who don't perish.
>I wonder if that was the most expensive car commercial in history?

Surely it was the cheapest, no? Tesla spent ~$0 for a huge amount of global advertising.

SpaceX was already going to spend the money for the launch and the media has given what is effectively free advertising covering the historic event.
