I am not that cynical. The psychopathy probably helps with executing rational actions without being constrained by emotions but that doesn't have to be lying or something like that.

Actually, in my opinion, the real advantage probably comes from being able to stay out of the emotional context of the situation. Most people are consumed by things like how they feel or how others feel and get blinded to the implications of following those emotions.
This isn't difficult: TVs should not be "smart".

TVs should be incredibly dumb. They should be screens for displaying stuff. That's it. Nothing else.

No network connection of any kind, no apps, no software beyond that necessary to do basic setup of how that screen works: brightness, input selection, etc.

If a company is paying a researcher a lofty salary (I am guessing ballpark mid six figures), and provides that researcher virtually unlimited tools and resources, shouldn't that company have a say in what material gets published by the researcher? Why shouldn't it have the ability to restrict research of dubious quality that makes borderline incorrect conclusions about the company?
One real issue is that as automated systems, assist or full driving take over, human skill will decrease.

Yes, there are people with poor coordination, spatial perception, the list goes on. Genetics makes a difference. Yet also, training makes a difference. So for those with normal or above normal genetic bounds for the above, training helps immensely.

And driving, responding quickly to issues, is often about training. Hence all the driving ed programs now mandated in many localities, prior to obtaining a license.

Still, it goes beyond that. One becomes more skillful, better at driving, as time progresses. At least, those capable of that. Meanwhile, we're moving humans further and further from direct learning experiences, and with each 'crutch', reducing training scenarios as well.

Of course, we're on a path here. The goal is ultimately to move more towards safety. However I suspect that "things will get worse", before better, as drivers will be less trained on manual tasks.

Edit:

My main point is, we're going to get to a point of 'AI drives, you monitor/intervene" eventually, as the mainstay.

Yet new drivers, will be less able to intervene. They won't have developed, or trained, via the same number of "close calls", and direct driving experiences.

Eventually, asking drivers to "intervene", will be asking for the least skilled to take over, to monitor, to watch.

And there are a lot of areas that are very high bar to handle with AI. Think on this ; all current driving tech is literally 'low hanging fruit'.

It's been a lot of work, I grant that. Yet it's been a lot of work for just that low hanging fruit!

For example, most AI driving is urban, in the southern US.

How about:

- In rural Canada

- In the middle of a snow storm

- With ice, and white-out conditions on the road

- on rural dirt backroads, which are 20 or 30 km long, comprised of potholes and other such irregularities

- with zero mapping

- at -40C

I have extremely strong doubts that AI can even remotely handle that well currently. I'd trust a 5 year old to handle this task far better.

Now, what of drivers who never really drive, end up on this side road, and get 'stuck', with the AI unable to handle things?

When all of the above is normal in the winter. For example, often schools do not close in rural Quebec, for such typical, and normal, conditions.
they still run a bloated operating system that occasionally crashes. The TV can still be smart and at some point I expect them to nag you constantly about not being connected.
No good deed goes unpunished. But really, apps and books are apples and oranges. Similar in one regard, both are digital goods, but not in important ones that matter strategically. Apple doesn’t have the stranglehold on ebook reading that they have on apps. For those who don’t know, you can’t buy ebooks on iOS without paying an Apple tax, but as many kindle users know, you can of course buy kindle books via a browser and then read them in the kindle app. Not to mention the work that goes into custom developing an iOS app compared to simply compiling text an editing to whatever format Apple requires.
I'd fight for the right for 8chan to exist. Everyone deserves the right to be stupid, even if they're abusing it.
I've wondered this too. Also start with commercial vehicles instead of consumers.
You shouldn't be pulling over on a freeway for stuff like that either. You should do it in a parking space.
Someone above suggests boot::intrusive. Do you also think that means C++ is a "glue language"?
> I wish a lot of the React conversation would focus in on WHY it is so popular even for apps it shouldn't be.

I didn't think this was a mystery. It's because a lot of devs are coming into the web ecosystem having primarily learned frameworks at boot camps (or on their own).

Most front-end devs that I've worked with who started in the last 5-10 years have such framework-specific knowledge that they can't really jump between frameworks or work on vanilla JS.

I'm not saying this is categorically bad. I use heavy abstractions on top of web languages (TypeScript, Webpack, Sass, Svelte) even for static sites, so I'm not arguing that they should be writing vanilla JS.

It's just interesting that JS is so flexible, and some of these abstractions are so strong, that you can learn something like React without really learning JS at all. It's like a DSL on top of JS.

> The point is that she has an expectation of Yann to go further than just stating a fact.

Yann was talking about a specific model, she was talking about ML & society on a grand scale. Can't we talk about specific things now? Why did he have to apologize for it?

My feeling is that Timnit is using people, she guilt trips, humiliates them online, makes a big fuss and it's all to whip up support in her crusades. She wants to win the public opinion by any means, so she needs famous opponents to pile on, such as Yann and Dean (who have universal admiration in the field). She's always playing the victim. I find this kind of behavior toxic, it degrades dialogue.
I didn’t misquote you.

That bit doesn’t add to the assertion that something isn’t real, or that there isn’t an underlying objective reality.

If something doesn’t exist in the classical objective sense, then it means that something doesn’t exist or have meaning outside of an observer. It’s not empirical nor measurable.

That’s not the same as saying that the building blocks are quite different from everyday experience. It’s still measurable, real, and well-defined. Just not in the ways that are intuitive.
I guess theoretically and in some ways in practice. But I’m thinking more along the lines of “search through the web only returning results bookmarked with 2 degrees of trust” or something like that. Where each of the nodes are not documents but are identities- which may often tie 1:1 to a human

If you want to predict the future just look at history. The belief that somehow these groups will get it right and aren't inherently harmful is false.

At my prior job we were fairly big (1000+) and had internal meetings more or less instructing people how to vote. We had a significant social reach and the ability to promote arbitrary articles such as news. We had editorial guidelines forcing us to be politically biased. As much as I disagree with the current president I do think there was some sort of attempt at manipulation. Whether it was successful or not is beyond my ability to analyze.
I work at a company where we're doing software at all levels of the stack, from the firmware up. It is all in Rust. Even our firmware. It's working really well for us.
Has any country experimented with making cigarettes more dangerous, such as adding an impotence side-effect? Could go a long way towards de-glamorising smoking.
Well said, thanks for this clear explanation.
It can also help to occasionally play "devil's advocate" and argue for "the other side". This forces you to seriously consider the weaknesses of your own side and strengths of the other side. I've definitely developed more nuanced opinions as a result of playing devil's advocate
You were doing fine until you mentioned JS
Suggesting everyone using C++ isn't capable of properly evaluating it (which the comment author can clearly tell from the outside, for every use case) is "not derogatory"?

(and from what I understand "Stockholm syndrome" is not classified as a medical condition because it's questioned if it actually exists as thing that can be usefully delineated, not because it wouldn't qualify)

I'm certainly not claiming "C++ is perfect and everything else is useless" or "Rust doesn't stand a chance", but this "there has to be something wrong with you if you use it/ever consider it more suitable" is seriously annoying, and disappointing to see as the top comment here (even if it's not the worst pro-rust denigration of C++-users I've seen). And is damaging the chances Rust et al have in these spaces.
This is a joke I’m hoping so my apologies if I missed it.

Apple intentionally cripples the web experience and if you put it in an app, you still have to pay the Apple commission.

I sincerely hope this is a joke or that you work for Apple and you livelihood depends on you not understanding this.

The easiest solution to number 1 is humbling yourself by making mistakes. Sure making mistakes itself will teach you stuff, but it's the humbling process that is really important. I've learned from years of argumentation and failure that I need to be more careful when finding the truth because people will otherwise make a fool out of you.
This still matches the parent's picture

> If you use spaces to indent code, or in any way rely on a fixed width font to "line things up", you have a fundamental misunderstanding.

As long as the limitations of lining things up "exactly" are avoided, spaces shouldn't be any different than whatever way comes from true understanding.
I really can't stand any of the DE's. I have a perfectly customized set up for Awesome WM. It's very low resources, so works equally well on my high spec'd Thinkpad, as well as on a 10 year old netbook.

Everyone is different, so it’s worth exploring different options. It’s widely recognized that a big part of smoking is not the nicotine addiction itself, but also the social aspect. Reduced nicotine cigarettes would enable people to still smoke and participate in the social part, while reducing the nicotine addiction. It’s better to address one thing at a time than to try to go cold turkey on everything at once.
I do a lot of F# these days. I haven’t owned a windows machine in a decade.
The hard problem with commercial vehicles is that they are even safer than the random consumers (teenagers, drunks, etc), so the bar is even higher (1 in a billion miles? 10 billion?) and has very quantifiable business metrics and insurance liabilities!!
Why would it hurt the low barrier group?

PHP is designed that you can use the functionality you need and sub functionality to a functionality is usually also optional, e.g. you can use functions if needed and with functions you can have typed input parameters if you like, in many ways similar to TypeScript, you expand as you go.

There is nothing in PHP that forces you to code in a certain style, like in other languages, it is truly multi paradigm.

Why can’t you be a competent programmer that codes in PHP and also understands ADT? Where is that defined?
Wow, thanks for breaking established standards then...
I'm sure that's quite common, but so is the reverse. Almost universally, CSRs have no idea how the product works or have any technical knowledge whatsoever.

I appreciate the article for bringing this to my attention. That being said, and maybe it's just my severe lack of knowledge around DNS, but I didn't walk away with a greater understanding of what is going on and how to fix it (outside of using pfSense).

I'm using OpenWRT and created a guest network which I configured to use certain DNS servers. All of my smart devices are connected to it. How can I check that those devices are actually using the DNS servers assigned at the router level?
There is no justification for bypassing users network settings, and especially doing it for your own convenience. At very least it should be opt in. If you want to violate customer privacy to save money on support, then I don't know why this is worth even discussing.
The amount of games and screens is impressive, but for a site calling itself a database, it should take things further. Mainly, there ought to be a lot more textual content.

For example, rather than just a screenshot of the options menu for a given game, there should be tables listing all of the options and their possible settings. Rather than just an in-game screenshot, each UI element should be called out and detailed. For example, point out a health meter and explain what happens when the meter is filled, when it's low, etc. Same with the menus. What are the elements and what do they do? And so on.

There are also links to general gameplay footage for any given game, but various UI elements should have their timestamps called out, or even get their own videos entirely.

I really like how easy it is to navigate the site. Everything is tagged well. There's a lot of potential here.
Where was the discussion scoped to laptops?

As for need, as alluded to in my previous reply generally I agree in an objective sense (although uses 256GB does not necessarily mean it needs it either). On the subjective side, I have long-observed that people will blindly assert that more memory is better even when they don't profile their peak physical usage and may easily never make use of the amount they have outside of disk caching. Even if folks don't need incredible amounts of memory, that doesn't necessarily stopping them from wanting it even if it provides little to no benefit.
> I refuse the premise that we tech workers know best and therefore must protect the fragile little minds of everyone else.

I quit my tech job and went into construction. Only in hindsight has it been glaringly obvious how egocentric tech workers are. High paid, wielding incredible power, and the praise from their managers/peers just reinforces delusions.

Try doing a hard days work in a skilled trade such as woodworking, electrical, or HVAC. Now that's humbling. It also exposes you to many different people and types of thinking, which IMO, promotes healthy self perspective. Echoing here even on HN just amplifies the dilemma.
How Distributed Systems Fail
For a medium that is dependent on technology I’d say it’s impressive for any old movie to stand the test of time. I love old movies and I’m always impressed with their resourcefulness and heart. My favourite film is Seven Samurai but I sincerely hope that we can continue to make movies which challenge the preeminence of all time classics like Citizen Kane, Tokyo Story, The Rules of the Game, 8 1/2 .. like really take your pick of the top films on that list and you or anyone would do well to watch them many times over.

Anyone who doubts citizen Kane really needs to check out what kind of films were being made before it. CK was bold and experimental, an astounding picture. It’s still fresh in many ways and moving, dated too for sure but a definite classic. Orson Welles is legitimately one of my artistic heroes and he got screwed by the powers that be at the time. I kind of hate to see his work presented this way when he himself loved many of the film makers with movies on the sight and sound list.

Honestly I’m very take it or leave it with Hitchcock’s Vertigo which is the current #1 and it will probably maintain the stop spot on the critic list during the next polls. I also don’t get Sunset which always places super high. It’s good and the running in the field scene is a thrill but that’s the thing about these lists anyways, they are just a statistical average of what everyone thinks but we all have our personal dark horse favourites. One day, Battle Royale will get the credit it deserves.

I’ve been drinking if this seems disjointed.
Cadillac has something like 970 US dealers and sold roughly 129,000 cars last year. Half the dealers sell under 50 cars a month.

I tried to read past the headlines-grabbing title and the first point, but since it's three distinct points already AND wishful thinking can also be seen as a form of resilience sometimes and not just a terrible thing AND the focus on conservatism seems more emotional than pragmatic, I've checked out before the end.

Perhaps a less self-aggrandizing and hand-wavy way to address the subject would be to actually look at proper research such as CBT in psychology pointing out cognitive distortions[1], which are incredibly helpful to recognize and identify in the self in order to correct both the big issues (some aspects of depression, anxiety) and small ones (everyday life for most people).

Nice sentiment, but hard to deliver. You have a dishwasher and a fridge, right? They've been running firmware you don't get to inspect for a couple of decades already. Luckily they don't have network access.
I agree it’s good that cognitive biases and better frameworks for thinking get traction here (or anywhere else). However this blog post doesn’t look to be backed by any research, or anything else for that matter. I predict people just start arguing politics below this comment due to some of the lexical choices, for example.
I'm glad I am living in the era before do-gooders take control of our phones and prevent us from using our own judgment about safety tradeoffs. So many restaurants I've found, plans I've made, songs I've remembered, on empty roads or in Nebraska in broad daylight. I've encountered multiple people who don't think it's safe to use your phone while stopped at a light. They're intolerant of other opinions so they will win eventually.
Definitely don't recommend owning any tablet.
Short Story: A few weeks ago, I had trouble to connect my Sennheiser Headphones to a bluetooth splitter. So I downloaded the manual and after some time I found what I was doing wrong.

To let me find the critical part faster next time, I wanted to highlight the relevant part of the manual. Sadly the manual was DRM protected and didn't want to let me annotate the manual...

So I had to find a way to work around it, but I felt like a criminal, just because I wanted to use a highlighter on the digital manual of a physical product I bought.
"Adding up estimates rarely work when you end up with more than a few tasks. Instead, figure out which tasks have the highest uncertainty – those tasks are basically going to dominate the mean time to completion." -- Erik Bernhardsson explains why you should worry about risks and tackle them first, as they can have a drastic impact on your time estimations. A good lesson to take from it: teach software engineers how to do proper risk management, delay work around areas of comfort, and create risk-based milestones with adjustments to the time estimations.

Yep. pV=nRT. This is why if you are checking your tire pressure manually you should do it when the tire is cold, and not immediately after a drive. "Cold pressure" is how the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire pressure is specified. You'll still get some seasonal variation in most temperate regions.

At the very least, people would need a reliable way of indicating whether the site they are linking to is one they are endorsing or criticising, and there would need to be some clever crawler that can calculate a trustworthiness score from this graph for each page you visit.

Presumably this would be implemented as a browser extension. It could also recommend similar pages with a higher score, and maybe highly scored pages that offer a different perspective on the same topic as the page you are reading.
If it comes with an unlimited data plan, I'd happily buy that TV just to open it up to take the SIM out of it and use it in another device.
