Some interesting updates on and information about Tesla's AutoPilot.

Few interesting things from the interview:

Musk seems very confident that full self-driving will be ready within 2 years and that Tesla will do it before anyone else.

Tesla worked on a neural-networks chip for the last 3 years. It's now in production and 10x faster than NVIDIA chip they use now.

Improving self driving technology is about collecting data set for corner cases and then training neural network on this data.

Tesla has ~500k cars collecting data for corner cases. The second best competitor probably less than 5k cars. Therefore Tesla collects data at a rate 100x than anyone else.

Recently researches tricked Tesla's auto-pilot with stickers on the road. Musk says that fixing this is trivial by using such cases as negative test cases in NN training.
VSCode is OSS right? So microsoft’s Work and Investment was specifically designed to be reused without any direct financial compensation.

I don’t quite understand your point. Do you think that it’s hypocrtical to use and benefit from OSS work and investment? It seems important to respect the creator’s intent and if software is released under an OSS license it’s not dissonant or hypocritical or bad to reuse, or even make money under many licenses. It’s a feature, not a bug.

In the 90s there used to be these companies that sold “internet in a box” in waldenbooks and other stores in the US. It was about $70 but it was all just OSS stuff- trumpet winsock, Eudora, mosaic, etc. I thought it was really crazy because it’s all available for free. One day I was in line behind an old guy who was buying it and he was so happy because it was conveniently packaging everything together and he had no idea how to bootstrap all these tools onto his PC. OSS is designed to allow this.

We also had an infant that refused to sleep horizontally. Baby Zantac helped, but it turned out to be a milk protein intolerance. When mommy cut milk products out of her diet entirely his symptoms disappeared entirely. Makes me wish we'd tried it earlier - we'd noticed possible symptoms early (at around 1 month) but because of the inconvenience for mommy our pediatrician didn't want to officially diagnose until blood appeared in his stool at around 4 months.

It's more common than many people think - up to 15% of infants, which is almost 1 in 6.

I wish I could feel what others feel when they try a certain drug. I've taken ketamine recreationally and I mostly just feel a numbing sensation similar to having a couple drinks that wears off fairly quickly. I don't totally get the appeal as a party drug from that perspective.
Same with Flash. Or popups. Or popunders. Or loud auto-playing banner ads. We complained about those anyway, and mostly ended them. Then proceeded to bring it all back, but worse.

I'm making a statement of the general mood regarding those old, abused technologies. The modern web is at least as bad as the barbaric old web of pops both over and under, of Flash, of auto-playing loud banner ads, annoying redirects, and so on. Somehow we collectively mustered enough outrage to get rid of those things, but now the only way to stop it is to get rid of or neuter Javascript and probably CSS, too, so oh well, guess we just have to live with it forever.

From my stubby pencil work it seems that the apparent diameter of this planet would be within an order of magnitude of the black hole image from earlier this week (~120 vs 40 micro arcseconds), which is 3+ orders of magnitude smaller than the resolving power of even our largest optical telescopes. I have a feeling ill never see an image of another planet in this life. :(

>Instead what people usually do is to say "everything I do from now on is closed source. You can maintain a fork of the old version, but good luck keeping up with my version". Or alternatively "everything I do from now on is under [GPL/AGPL/similar restrictive license], if you want to use it beyond that contact me for a more permissive license deal".

Yes this is what I was describing as reasonable. "Everything after this is governed by X terms" is reasonable. But the whole thing can sound like even if you change terms, previous licenses would still apply, which would be wrong.

Here's the similarity.

I do think US companies suffer from hacking, just like the music and video industry suffer losses from piracy. I think, however, that the numbers reported are exaggerated beyond belief.

Piracy losses are exaggerated because if you take away free music and movies, most pirates will not pay anyway anywhere close to the amounts they are said to "steal" from the copyright owners.

Hacking losses are exaggerated because the supposed trade secrets are often just a PR gimmick. I've seen all too often how corporate lawyers and executives claim their special unique tech is worth billions, when in fact it's worth very little if anything.

As to whether US companies can do something: sure they can; the whole point of the article is that they care a lot less than one would expect.

When something was obviously committed in error such as in this case (I say obviously because it is well documented that the URL's are not to be made public, and the commit was reverted quickly), I think it is in bad faith to take that mistake and use it against the company giving you the free product. Sure, it might be legally fine, but from an ethical standpoint (and even from a "lets not make OS sound so dangerous to companies that they never want to contribute again" standpoint), I personally don't think this is in good faith at all.

250mg seems exceptionally high (in reference to the OP's response below). The esketamine nasal spray that was just approved contains only 28mg per dose (1-2x/week).

So does IPFS have "plugins" for different archive/container formats so it can "see" that the underlying video/audio streams are identical between "Julie's Webcast - Episode 3.mp4" and "Julie's Webcast - Episode 3, with Russian subtitles.mkv"?

Otherwise container stream interleaving will play holy hell with any sort of "dumb" block hashing :(

> Making a law that declares a crime over people not under your jurisdiction that happened on territory not under your jurisdiction is a mockery of the idea of sovreignty.

No, it's not.

It is exactly the idea of sovereignty; limitations beyond that of your practical power on the exercise of your authority would be contrary to the idea of sovereignty, and are typical of authorities which are not sovereign but instead bound by the dictate of a superior sovereign.

Virtually every nation on Earth not only recognizes this as an abstract rule, but in fact exercises such extraterritorial jurisdiction to some degree or another.

Moreover, conspiracy to commit another crime where some overt acts in the conspiracy or attempt did take place within the jurisdiction of the nation involved isn't even an unusual exercise of extraterritorial jursidiction.

Now, you might prefer the formation of a global sovereign over existing nation states that would limit extraterritoriality among them in ways in which it is not now and has not historically been limited among sovereign nations, but it is ludicrous to describe the status quo as contradictory to the idea of sovereignty.
I’m not sure I agree with you on this. I once read that pure maths tends to preceed applied maths by about 50 years. I don’t know how true it is, but if the practitioners aren’t constantly chasing some ideal version of reality, I’m not sure we would get the same major advances in industry.

I think you may also have a dated idea as to ‘real world equivalent’. We’re in a very interesting time for meta materials. Things like negative index of refraction was pure science fiction 20 years ago, but today we can make multilayered substances that behave as though they have a negative index. Which is to say, that if we can make it, it now has a real world equivalent. Even your example of a wire ignores the enormous amount of materials processing necessary to produce wire. Wire was unimaginable maybe as recently as 10k years ago.

If you count being locked out of the Chinese markets, I think the number is actually much, much larger than $50B. But that seems to be rather unrelated to hacking? In fact most countries openly or secretly try to lock out foreign owned businesses. If the point is that China does it more than others, perhaps it's true, but it's a lot more complex issue than outright hacking.

To circle back to the specific case of the VSCode extension URLs, at the time they were "new stuff" they were published in a repository with an MIT license notice, effectively publishing them under MIT. For that version that license applies forever. If they change the URLs and keep the change proprietary that's fine, they just can't take back the past.

Though it should be added that I'm just expressing the common understanding, barely anything surrounding open source licenses was ever actually tested in court. There are also some obvious legal positions that would completely change this: does every change need to state the license, are open source licenses actually legally binding etc. However nobody would ever argue those positions because they are detrimental for everyone (ok, the latter one was once argued in a GPL trial, but the court decided not to decide on that)

Requiring payment for the duration of the non-compete is perfect. You can tweak the specific requirements up/down as problems arise.

In most practical situations, requiring payment (of almost any amount) will eliminate non-competes, because employers generally don't like paying for labor they can't use.

This is a clear case of people exploiting and perpetrating FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt), riding on Microsoft's historic reputation as not being trustworthy, and turning it to their private benefit.

If you have trust issues with Microsoft, you shouldn't be using software authored by them, as software can have backdoors and security issues hiding in plain sight (heart bleed bug, for instance).

Atom has/had the exact same kind of telemetry, but hasn't attracted this type of hysteria, because GitHub wasn't Microsoft. This is all plain and simple dogma.
Worth noting that the AAP recommends against cosleeping. Cosleeping proponents like to point out that it is not very risky after you account for factors like alcohol use. But I think "not very risky" could also describe this rocker that's been recalled.

For me, I knew touch typing (not a master but enough to not see the keyboard while typing), that combined with little experience in vim bindings (basic navigation hjkl, v) etc was enough to become really comfortable with spacemacs.

Did you actually visit Gab or Voat? I'm asking you this because if you haven't, then you can't actually argue in favor of the 'marketplace of ideas' very well. Either that or you're not willing to argue in the defense of such sites. Or you're possibly being disingenuous, considering we've switched from corporate curation/censorship of their content towards government censorship which are two very different topics.

As I mentioned, places with zero censorship and zero moderation can and are very quickly overtaken by malicious actors. Either way, if you're willing to defend Gab and Voat on their merits of being an 'open marketplace of ideas' after having gone there then we can continue our argument.

Which doesn't seem to work on many sites I visit. ESPN's NBA scoreboard, for example, will now automatically play videos in the sidebar.

Firefox changed media.autoplay.default from a bool to an integer several versions ago, and ever since, I can't figure out how to get videos not to autoplay. I wish there were a simple, "Don't play videos until I click on them" setting so I didn't have to guess at what config settings to toggle.

Autoplay is a monstrosity and it seems like a shocking design flaw that it can't easily be stopped.

For example, Safari's "Never Auto-Play" setting simply doesn't work.

It seems like <canvas> animation should be blockable (e.g. make it so that canvas pixels can't be altered without permission) and even old-school html animation should be blockable.

Perhaps web sites with utter contempt for their users will decide to render all of their text into a canvas so they can trick you into watching video ads; "in order to view the New York Times, you must enable canvas animation and webassembly so that we can violate your video autoplay setting" - at which point I guess browsers will have to include an AI system that uses some sort of image processing and recognition to block stuff that doesn't look like text or static images.

But how do your regulations solve that?

The difference is the matter of liability. In the regulation case, a business found to be in arrears could be hit with a very large judgement. On the other hand, if non-competes were simply banned and employees were unaware of the law, they could still suffer under the chilling effect of an unenforceable clause in their contract. To then discover the problem later and show damages in court would be much more difficult.
>...limitations beyond that of your practical power on the exercise of your authority would be contrary to the idea of sovereignty...

That might be how you view it, but at this point you are using a different definition of sovereignty than the rest of the world.

Here's the first paragraph from Wikipedia if you don't want just my take on it. We can get further sources if you need

>Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies. In political theory, sovereignty is a substantive term designating supreme authority over some polity[1]

The US is trying to interfere in the actions of other political bodies which is a direct violation of their sovreignty. I think this is a bad idea because the US can only pull this off due to current levels of power which are not garunteed to be maintained and then the next superpower won't have any reason to limit their behavior against the US.

There are many arguments against my belief that the US shouldn't do this, but claiming that forcing other groups to your will is an example of sovereignty is just making up your own definitions for existing terms

[1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereignty

Edit: additionally this portion of your argument.

>...it is ludicrous to describe the status quo as contradictory to the idea of sovereign

The status quo is not tightly couple to the idea of sovreignty. The status quo could be the purest form of respect for sovereignty that has ever existed or the status quo could completely flaunt the idea, but just because the world _is_ a way currently does not mean it changes _how_ it could be
