> It's why pedestrians try to make eye contact with drivers.

I do this so I know they've seen me, otherwise I've almost been run over. If cars would stop because generic object was in the way, that special social cue wouldn't be needed.
> You will have bad data in prod. Users will do unexpected things. You won’t always be able to reach S3. And, this is all true even assuming the software is written perfectly to spec.

Surprisingly this nonsense happens in a discrete setting where we can (in theory, of course) enumerate all possible inputs. Again surprisingly we cannot find effective way to automagically partition input space into equivalence classes to assist us in testing.

Novel works in conjunction with our brains and it is not surprising that there are no definitive rules or “good novel equation”. But programs implement defined algorithms and super predictable. Yet creating them feels like writing a novel.

I agree with your statement but at the same time it feels wrong that we find ourselves in such position.
Sure, there are various inadequacies in the data, Tesla is clearly not an unbiased source (though there has been some verification from gov agencies), but I think the rapidly decreasing accident rate is significant (even when compared to the same car without those features), and we'll see numbers continue to improve over time.

Most people are simply not careful drivers all the time. This is one major advantage computers have - they don't get tired or distracted.

Time will tell as we get more data about supervised driving, but I think it's inaccurate to say we don't have data yet, it is imperfect of course, but it does point to computers being safer than humans in some very common conditions over millions of miles.
That does bring up an interesting point. There's only so many airports in the world (especially ones that can support a 737). You'd think that'd be easy to exhaustively test if you wanted to.

This is not entirely correct: you can also appeal the strike by affirming your claim (the strike will then be removed) and it will be up to the claimant to then sue you (you have to provide contact details in your appeal).

Unless you run up against some studio that has a private deal with YT in which case they'll just take down your video - no appeals.
>Who is "you yourself" in this analogy?

Anyone crying "that's whataboutism!" in the face of their blatant hypocrisy.

I'm not talking about justifying corruption because the other guys do it. But I am talking about things like holding up bills, or filibusters, or whipping the vote, or leaking information, or any other of a multitude of things that one party always seems to lose their mind when it happens like it's never happened before.

One party uses something as a political strategy one year, then the next year cries foul like the Union is coming undone when the other side does the same thing. It's stupid.
I agree with the sentiment. The delivery suffers:

1. Linguistically speaking, humans tend to save energy. Every utterance is designed to provide new information, to describe what is different from the norm. Going on a rant on how this administration suffers of problems a, b, and c, weakly implies that other administrations suffer much less of problems a, b, and c. Otherwise it would be common knowledge that all administrations suffers of problems a, b, and c roughly in the same degree, and why bother wasting time repeating common knowledge?

2. Arguments that focus specifically on one administration, carefully avoiding anything that could be construed as a negative reflecting onto opposing party administrations, come across as partisan. It is the hallmark of the USA media environment that most what we hear in the political news is technically true, but carefully curated to further one of the major two narratives. Also known as "information bubble". "Democrats: saviors, Republicans: evil" OR "Democrats: corrupt, Republicans: straightshooters".

If we truly are to move past partisan criticism, it is on us to fairly depict deplorable behavior on both side of the aisle, regardless of our own political leanings. Otherwise, we risk engaging in the usual half-blind partisan discourse that is tearing this country apart.
> Youtube designed this system after pressure from the major Movie / Music publishers

At this point, YouTube is just another part of the entertainment industry, with commensurate business interests.
Not to be pedantic but I've only heard it referred as D&O insurance. The directors come first and its relatively expensive: google quotes $5k a year per million of coverage.

Also not all things are covered and it can be litigated (in my limited experience) to force the insurer to pay. Plus you can still do something that gets you personally in trouble even with coverage.

Obviously, a sweet gig and incredibly hard to get. But everything has some hair around it.

My guess on tag meanings:

Orange labels:

O - Opposite traffic lane (used together with LA or S)

F - Same-direction traffic lane (used together with FA,LA,RA or S)

FA - Forward Allowed

LA - Left turn Allowed

RA - Right turn Allowed

S - Stop sign/line

C - pedestrian Crossing

T - Trash can =) (see 0:32)

Black labels:

P - Pedestrian (see 0:24)

M - Motorcycle (see 0:28)

C - regular Car ?

V - Vehicle or Van ?

K - truK ?

S - ?

L - ?

At the beginning, utility truck is labeled first as S, then as L, then finally as K.

Almost all cars are labeled as C, some are labeled as V - in my observation mostly Vans and SUVs.
Google is a slight red herring here, they need to be going after Facebook.
It's funny, when I was in school, I was always told the difference between a good CS school and an ok school was that the good school only taught you theory and left the practical application to the reader. The ok school had courses on tools and language syntax.

It's kind of awesome to see this coming out of MIT.

And unless its a second job (or you don't have any savings) taking several months to get the right job is the best thing to do.

At my school there is a 2 unit class that you must take along with the intro DS&A course that teaches bash, vim, git, testing, etc. It was definitely the class that helped me the most in my internship and also made me a Vim user.

The best move would be to revert the Doubleclick acquisition and spin out the AdTech part as its own separate entity.

But also make Google Search an open auction system (like it sort of is on Display) where other players can integrate with and Google (search) takes a fixed % for each click.
Pipe dream I suppose but best way to avoid Google from being able to be truly dominant.
> that one might identify as

Everyone seems to be missing this. It doesn't have to be in the DSM criteria, the parent poster is talking about the popular view.

I don't necessarily agree – I don't seek joy from work but I do things that others (my wife included) would consider as "work". The moment you tackle that label on them – or whenever I lose control of what I'm supposed to be doing – I'll no longer have the same joy.

> The person who for some reason is up on a Saturday night reading the NGINX source code in C

Sigh

Now this I have issue with. I think the best programmers I know will do something like this out of their own self interest. Maybe they are setting up some elaborate and over-engineered system for their own amusement.

If this is for work, though? You bet your ass I'll be reading that NGINX source code, if I have to, during work hours, however loosely defined those are. There are exceptions, of course. Sometimes your mind will be so focused on something that it _just won't let go_. In which case, fine, Monday can't wait and I'll try this thing. As long as there is no expectations from the part of the company.

Saturday night I'll be mucking around with 3d printing, game engines, programming my own blog software for the 30th time in a new Scheme dialect, anything. Just not work.
Isn’t a stock buyback a way of telling their shareholders “we think you would be better off investing your money elsewhere”?
That's actually just a lint that you can turn off with #[allow(const_err)], though obviously you shouldn't turn it off on a real project since it catches stupid mistakes like this.

And yep, the result is a panic, even with debug_assertions off (i.e. you make overflows wrap instead of panic).

I'm jaded. It takes one non-streaming detail in the entire system to ruin the whole thing.

Some data formats need writing a length in the header. Or reading requires metadata stored after the data. Some algorithms need two passes, or can be streamed over columns when you're getting rows.

What was with the "STOP" at the top of the screen blinking randomly even when the car wasn't at a stop nor at a place where it should stop?

This doesn't really inspire too much confidence, IMO. It makes me think their FSD efforts are on par with their autopilot implementation.
With so many shows to watch and so little time to watch them, most people pass judgement on series without watching any episodes. Can you earnestly say you watch two episodes of every series before deciding whether to watch more? I doubt there is any way you could find time for that; rather you judge most shows to be unworthy of your time after glancing at the promotional material at most. Everybody does.

So yes, watching one episode is enough to dismiss a show.
It was certainly one of those situations that if the Seattle Police had a non-emergency number that they actually wanted you to use I'd have used that instead.

I read the article, the patent release was 2016. Yes, its probably going to be helpful to Musk going forward but the company wasn't built on these patents by any stretch of the imagination. By 2016 SpaceX were already landing boosters.

And yes, Nasa (and the DOD) are probably the most important customers of SpaceX... So? Its not like SpaceX are getting free money there. They are providing a service to the government, and getting paid for it - And providing that service at a lower cost than the government would bear if they did it themselves, and a lower cost than their competitors (I'm looking at Boeing - They are getting paid 60% more than SpaceX per seat for commercial crew flights to the ISS)

Also look into the Raptor engine SpaceX have developed. Its a key plank for their future mars ambitions. Its the most advanced rocket engine ever developed and SpaceX funded its development themselves.
> Deflation is bad because it is a self-reinforcing slowdown in the economy.

If you care about the environment, global warming, resource depletion, etc this is a good thing. Are we not currently producing more stuff than can be reasonably used?

> Why spend when the same thing will get cheaper tomorrow/next week/month/year...?

This is exactly how computing technology has been for several decades. Plenty of spending still goes on, because items have immediate utility. Being able to save by buying a loaf of bread tomorrow doesn't matter when you need to eat today.
What happens when there is no stop sign?
Nah, that's just the first thing you've imagined.
I think: commander of concentration camp for disabled ponies and baby elephants.
What doesn't matter is who wins in average conditions. Because averages are just that: averages. But actual driving is full of non-average situations, whether they are created by weather, other human participants in traffic, animals, whatever...there's millions of surprising non-standard situations happening each day in traffic, and current technology isn't even able to reliably detect when it's facing such a situation, much less capable of handling them entirely on its own.
I think the reason you don't see this kind of course offered is because it is primarily concerning training and not education.

Imagine if your training course 25 years ago focused on the Turbo C IDE and that's all the University offered. You would be amazingly proficient at Turbo C and know all its keyboard shortcuts but that wouldn't be too relevant in today's market.

Keeping such training material up to date with the latest trends is exhausting work and not worth maintaining, especially given how difficult it is to predict what may be the next tool de jure. Contrast this with more timeless educational topics and it starts to be clearer why this sort of thing is explicitly not taught.
All of those would panic in rust. Rust inserts checks for anything that might cause an exception in order to turn it into a safe panic.

I am from Bangalore, and in 2012, I tried an experiment in an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk). I offered to pay the driver double the meter price if he didn't honk even once during an upcoming 1 hour-ish ride.

The driver thought I was nuts to offer him this obviously easy money, and accepted it. I told him up front that the first honk, and the extra money was off the table. He said - ok - and we started the ride. The first few kilometers were pleasant, and the driver was cool with it - but as we entered the business district with more traffic, he became more and more frustrated and started to hum and sing to take it out a bit. Then, he kind of started "barking" (for the lack of a better word) at other drivers who irritated him. He then resorted to outright shouting at the drivers. Eventually, something snapped and he honked once. I told him the deal was off, and the rest of my trip was a veritable honk-hell.

I have always believed the stress ball theory after this one-off experiment.
The Concord shutdown largely because many of the pax and approvers died in the Twin Towers attacks.

Wow, what a fascinating (and terrifying) list of experiences. People like to say that bad trips are uncommon, but I see so, so many reports of them online. Maybe that's because the only real numbers we have are in controlled clinical settings, where the bad trips are going to be obviously be less frequent, due to the precautions and guard rails in place.

And even if they are uncommon, somebody else in this thread made the good point that the mind's capacity for suffering appears to be so much greater than its capacity for happiness or pleasure. I don't know if this is actually scientifically true, but it sure feels that way. Out of curiosity, would you say your most positive, beautiful experience was anywhere near as powerful as your most negative, terrifying experience?

Out of curiosity, you said you stopped a long time ago -- do you happen to suffer any long term negative side effects? Anxiety, PTSD, DP/DR, etc? I'm about a month past the trip that blew my mind to pieces and I'm still suffering with some residual fear and anxiety, and hoping it'll continue to pass with time. (Before anybody says it, yes, I'm considering therapy. And also yes, I realize everybody's experiences are going to be completely different, some people would get over a terrible trip in a week, and some people may never be able to completely recover.)
You're right, Donald Trump is poor.

* No Google tracking.

* Blocks 3rd party trackers.

* Zoom/Scroll is smoother.

* Better optimized for touch screens.

* Longer battery life.

* I can watch Netflix in 4K. Can't do that on Chrome or on a Mac.
Yeah, it seems to "work" in the sense that if you repeat wpe size (1024, 768) three times, so that it becomes (3072, 768), then the model can successfully generate up to 1024 tokens.

Generating more tokens seems to work up to a point -- you can probably generate up to 1050 tokens with this technique. But at a certain point, more tokens = gibberish.

The cure is to train the new wpe layer the same way you'd train the smaller one. But this also means you don't have to start training from scratch.
I’m pretty sure CSS, JavaScript, and the way both interact with each other and with HTML are the main reasons writing a useful browser engine is rapidly becoming impossible—and we’ll end up replacing it with Wasm rendering to a canvas for most things while not cleaning up HTML to be something simpler and delightfully less-capable, sadly. I think you could significantly increase the richness of just HTML without making it, per se, 1/10 the challenge of implementing all of those together.
Charles Mann's 1493 says that when people originally realized just how useful guano was for agricultural fertilizer, they started getting unfree labor to mine it on a massive scale (commonly from islands in the ocean). The paper's reference to Haber-Bosch is because we now instead get most of our fertilizer from atmospheric nitrogen through industrial chemistry. If the demand for guano ever picks up again for some reason, I hope that the "forcing people to work in the mines" part doesn't come back with it.
It's not apples to oranges. If a human interferes then a human is now driving. That human has a worse record of non accidents than the computer. Ergo, that human is making the driving record worse not better.
Your genuine loss dear user.
The ABI discussed here is a bit higher level than that. Even with a fixed ABI for vtables, calling conventions, etc. you still have to care about what happens when you change a "vocabulary type" in the standard library- some changes are source-compatible but binary-breaking.

For example, C++11 broke ABI at this level by changing the representation of std::string.

Am I wrong in thinking that this mild form of schizophrenia ( no official ABI but dont break the ABI) is part of the reason why we now live in a world where all applications talk to each-other through sockets, incurring huge overheads?
