Controlling your population to the point that they cannot choose what to do with their own work is shady

Tesla's "Auto-pilot" is one of the most blatant market-speak lies I have come across lately, and they have been getting away it.
How does Tesla fail so badly at basic collision avoidance?? Surely the LIDAR is able to detect an imminent collision, but at least in the recent fire truck and lane-split barrier incidents, the cars didn't even slow down?! That seems really fundamental.

Edit: so they don't use lidar... Is this a machine vision failure, then?
"would take about 20 seconds, thanks to Let's Encrypt"

Let's Encrypt does not offer certificates for IP addresses. They choose only to offer DV certificates using methods 3.2.2.4.6 and 3.2.2.4.7

How much of your hypothetical half hour will you spend trying to figure out why your chosen ACME client reports "Policy forbids issuance" when asked for an IP address?

As to who is staring at CT logs, well there's the fun thing about the design of CT, the _logs_ aren't where you would be staring, you would be looking at a _monitor_ and a monitor can be configured to do whatever it so happens you think is important. We know that commercial CAs already sell monitoring as part of "Enterprise security" type offerings.

Facebook took... I want to say minutes here, but I can't find an exact timeline, to spot that a certificate had been issued by Let's Encrypt for a name in their DNS hierarchy and begin investigating what went wrong.

Certificate Transparency isn't finished. As it stands today your authoritarian government "only" needs to ensure that nobody notices these shenanigans as unavoidably they create a "smoking gun" which would lead to their pet CA being distrusted. That's a tall order, but certainly not impossible in the short term, or for attacks in which the bogus certs are shown to a small number of individual targets rather than a broad population that will invariably notice by accident.

But longer term CT is intended for use with a gossip protocol so that it's impossible for the pretence to be kept up. Sooner or later a node somewhere will end up realising that there's an inconsistency, either it has seen SCTs that weren't logged, or it has seen logs that aren't consistent with the logs other nodes see, either of which is a matter for distrust.

BGP has no relationship to the Web PKI, which is what I presume you're referring to by "the CA system". The relatively small number of parties interested in BGP have developed their own PKI to fit their needs.

That’s not really true at all. I run digital ad campaigns for a living. Pretty much everything digital (that is being run by a competent agency) is extremely targeted. You can definitely go to a site and fine poorly targeted ads, but there are legitimate business reasons for those to exist.

If built correctly I can target exactly who I want to with minimal effort. Takes some time to prune and optimize to get it there though.
You highly underestimate what it would take to run Youtube competition. The technical infrastructure and the amount of money that needs to be thrown at it is truly out of reach for 99.9% of the company out there. There are literally a handful of companies who have the technical chops and the money to start a Youtube competitor.

After more than a decade of investment, youtube only recently started becoming profitable. So even if a company has the money and the technical chops to start a youtube competition, they really need to think twice before going through this much trouble.
Or that they understand science and don't want to be in the experimental group. They would rather be in the control.

Don't you see? When it's time to buy the car, it's self-driving. When it's time to take responsibility for avoiding obstacles, you're the one driving.
Because Google/Waymo is using lidar which adds ~$150K to the cost of the car.

Well then maybe they shouldn't call it auto pilot? I mean, how dumb of a name could they have chosen if they didn't want people to think the car can drive itself?

They should also retrain their sales staff because on my test drive the saleswoman specifically told me the car could drive itself and that I should take my hands off the wheel to test it out.

They should also retrain their CEO who keeps talking about "self driving" in reference to existing cars:

You have to go way down to "Enhanced Autopilot" section to read the smaller text that mentions that its subject to regulatory approval, and that the driver is responsible.

If you don't think that's misleading advertising, I don't know what is.
Eventually this could be put into place in the broader traffic ecosystem - if all the cars on the road were required to have a transponder sort of arrangement on board, you could have a central point of control, and perhaps tie in people's phones etc to locate pedestrians. I do want to note that I am aware that there is an unfathomably large amount of complexity behind that however.

Well, law is allowing Tesla to sell a Level 1 vehicle as Level 5. They have to start applying false advertisement laws first before they can think about other laws.

Lemme tell you about a fun little bug in the TFS Build system. You can create build definitions, you can set the schedule for those builds. You can, for example, schedule builds that run at a certain time of day every day (or every weekday or every Tuesday, or whatever). That build information is then stored in an internal representation which is actually used for scheduling. And that internal representation, it uses UTC times. Can you see the bug here already?

So, your build system will be scheduling daily builds at the same time every day, and then suddenly after a DST change those builds will be an hour off from when you expect them. But here's the even more fun part. If you simply happen to edit and then save one build definition after the DST switch then it'll be saved with a different UTC time (due to the different UTC offset) and it'll run at the correct local time of day.
It's time to hold all of these tech CEOs accountable for their wild promises and myth-making at the expense of the public good.

Step 1: Stop calling it autopilot.
Yes, it has!

Russ Cox talks about this, amongst other things, in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8nrpe0XWRg

I am sure there are written versions of this somewhere...
The way I would do it, assuming we have list1.txt, list2.txt, list3.txt, ... and want to calculate (1 - 2 - 3 - ...) :

1. Use sed to add "1<tab>" (that's a one digit and a tab char) to the first list to difference by and save as "prefix.txt".

2. Use cat to combine all the lists, sort | uniq -c | sort -n | sed <reformat to make tab delimited> | sort again and save as output.txt.

3. join prefix.txt and output.txt on each whole line and cut the second tab delimited field to produce the final result.

So in order to be in the result, a list item must appear in exactly one list and that must be the first list. That should be what we want (?)
But not any worse than the term cruise control really.
>Not really, because “real” diamonds have very little intrinsic value

Well, you're quite exaggerating here. Diamonds actually have some very useful physical properties, in particular regarding their hardness, thermal conductivity and optical properties.

Have you considered offering this as a browser extension? It would greatly increase your market size, and I have worked with (non-technical) people who would love to be able to activate an extension, enter an email address, and email out a PDF (of an invoice) to a colleague.

This workflow is a common one, and really frustrating: "Print -> Save as PDF -> choose location on disk/google drive/dropbox-> Save -> switch to email -> compose email -> enter email address -> enter subject -> add attachment -> navigate to saved location (if I can remember it) -> Send".

You could even add a premium feature that would hit a URL on a schedule, to automate report sending to managers (e.g. of Yahoo Ads or any other platform with similarly terrible reporting).

I think what they is saying is that a jeweller could get synthetic diamonds from another source for the same or less than Lightbox's marked diamonds and on-sell them as real. Only the original jeweller would know they aren't real, especially if the manufacturer can introduce random impurities.

I'm guessing you haven't had the new site rolled out to you yet? Maybe it's just me but on the mobile version of the new site, of the top four posts one to three(!) are ads on every page. Oh, and only two posts are visible by default. I much preferred the unobtrusiveness of their ads previously.
TNG, Voyager and Deep Space 9 all at various points made an issue of how the replicated food was not quite the same, without really trying to explain why (a lot of the issues with our mass produced food is exactly that: it's been modified to suit mass production, transport and storage, and often to be cost reduced as well; you'd expect most of those issues to disappear once you're using a replicator).

But you're probably right that DS9 made a bigger deal of it, especially with Sisko's dad and his restaurant featuring more than once, as well as various luxury products fetching high prices, when you might otherwise assume such high prices would quickly ensure they'd get replicated.
I’m not buying, you’re not buying... but I think their goal is to spread enough doubt so that someone who’s not thinking as critically about this stuff gets upset when their diamond isn’t natural, or is afraid to buy anything but a natural diamond for fear of upsetting their loved one. By offering these but making them downmarket and making them seem cheaper they’re trying to suppress prices in the lab grown market to hurt competitors while attempting to protect their cash cow.
It’s pure arrogance. In the model 3 when you are in autopilot they have video games and memes to play/watch on the giant screen. How does this pass regulation and is allowed to be sold? Building products to actively distract an operator of a 2 ton vehicle moving 60 mph?

Auto pilot - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot

"An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required. Autopilots do not replace human operators, but instead they assist them in controlling the aircraft. This allows them to focus on broader aspects of operations such as monitoring the trajectory, weather and systems.[1]"

You are doing the exact conflating I am referring to.

In the purchase section it clearly breaks the capability out including which ones are active/ enabled. In addition on the car manual and UI at enabling also spells it out. It says keep your hands on the wheel and paying attention to pick over immediately.
I suppose you're right. That does come off as a bit callous. Maybe I should rephrase my stance.

I'm glad the taxi industry as we know it is dying. However, it is a bit tragic that it is ruining the livelihood of taxi drivers on its way out so badly that they're committing suicide.

But is this any different than any other industry being replaced? Certainly we have sympathy for coal miners that have lost their jobs as our chosen sources of energy shift, but should that make us appreciate the shift away from coal and its destruction of our air any less?

This is a big incentive for him to improve safety. If he can provide his own insurance, and reduce the cost of accidents, he can undercut the industry in another way.

Tesla sells a car that everyone from the sales people to the CEO says can drive itself, has a feature called Autopilot where the car drives itself and you're saying no one should be confused that the car can't drive itself...

Regardless, the actual people who have gotten into an accident because of this should be proof enough that Tesla is misleading people.

Well, then they should also provide the same regorous training that the pilots recieve, or make Tesla available to those who are equally trained.

However De Beers aren't the only ones who know how to make them, and given their apparent distaste for them they probably don't hold the patent.

Unless they intend to buy every company that starts making them or pay the patent holders a fortune, I don't see how they can effectively monopolise this like they can real diamonds.
A general understanding on how to scale massive video platform is well understood now more than ever, but it still remains a very efficient way to burn cash. To give you an example:

I own an ISP and about 2 years ago, we got first GGC node (basically youtube CDN), they are provided free by Google to ISPs as long as you are willing to host it at your own expense and you meet a certain bandwidth requirement, I think it was 1gbps youtube traffic at that time. Anyways they send us free 3 fully stacked Dell R720, shipped it us from another country. To the best of my knowledge, each of them cost 5kUSD. Total throughout after saturating ~30 Gbps, we will be given 3 more of these. In our country, to the best of my knowledge, there are 40 ISPs who have these nodes. A least 5 of them have 2 full racks worth of these servers - all free paid for by Youtube/Google.

This is just one country. Investment still remains an insane task for video hosting.
I still think that "Journal of the MIT AI lab" or "Tokyo University Official Journal" would have no problem in establishing prestige if they were to try it.
Truly, I agree.

I've long been interested in learning about AI and deep learning, but to this day haven't done much that truly excites me within the field. It feels more or less impossible to make anything significant without Google-scale databases and Google-scale computers. AI really does make it easier for the few to jump far ahead, leaving everyone behind.

I also agree that a lot the news around AI is just hype.

Honestly, I'm yet to see anything practical come out of AI.

But hey, if something eventually does, I'm all for it.

Industrial diamonds are cheap if all you want is an abrasive, but diamonds also have very high thermal conductivity, very high index of refraction (without the birefringence of silicon carbide), and could potentially be useful as semiconductors. We need big and cheap single crystal diamonds to make full use of them. A strong market for synthetic gemstone diamonds could make that happen.

But it DOES detect stationary objects. Otherwise no one would even turn on Tesla AP at all.
