Awesome website! Love the radio button for equipment type, and the demo videos are really great. I also like that the videos play immediately, but also have links to youtube.

Humble suggestion: if you have "slots" where you know you have videos to upload, I wonder if you could say as much rather than show the 404 page. That way, you can simply click through to other "equipment levels" without breaking the sequence.
Ha, I remember thinking that at Tesla's (very weak, IMO) autonomy day. It seemed like their supposed business model was basically made up on the spot and didn't really make good business sense.
You would be surprised.. I have had two family groups switch to Signal, I never once mentioned switching over because I thought no one would agree. The switch was suggested by people not technologically savvy.
It's interesting to consider that if we provided inmates with computers and a solid internet connection, they could potentially find remote work in the new virtual world and have a full-time job.
My point is that it doesn’t fail in edge cases. It has very clear limitations, there are no surprises. Even if you were literally asleep at the wheel, the worst thing that would happen is it’d end up stopped in front of a traffic light, waiting for you to take over.
Or not being in prison could teach you that your actions don't have personal consequences. So why not continue drinking?
A person below asked, "Why is this clearly extremely intelligent individual in prison?" (The comment is dead.)

My father has several degrees, including a doctorate. He is highly intelligent, has an incredible work ethic and is a very kind and considerate person.

He went to prison for 6 months for a minor financial crime, something that was very out of character for him. The judge did not wish to send him to prison (she said that in court) but the prosecutor insisted that the prosecution would appeal any non-custodial sentence. So the judge gave him the minimum 6 months. That custodial sentence ruined my father's life, made him basically unemployable, despite his brilliance and integrity, and ruined my family's life too. Now my parents live in poverty and I have $23 in my bank account, with rent due tomorrow. I expect to be homeless by next week. Not a great situation for somebody with clinical depression.

Intelligent, good people can and do end up in prison and it can ruin lives (and not just the person behind bars, but also the people who love them). Good people do sometimes make terrible mistakes. My experience of this taught me so much. The really hard way.

For anyone who has a family member in prison, or has a similar story to mine, I feel for you.

I'm sorry if it comes off as dismissing the plight of others, that certainly wasn't my intention.

I think being sentenced so heavily in one's youth is arguably more tragic because there's an argument to be made that adolescence is a different developmental period [0]. Perhaps sentencing should take this into account (e.g. a different sentencing bracket until ~24?). Also, there's another argument to be made that younger people have had less time to sort themselves out, and a longer time to redeem themselves or make something of themselves (which I think we see here, not to say an elderly person couldn't do that).

With regards to less intelligent people who are imprisoned, I would even say their plight is maybe even more tragic. Less intelligent people probably have faced many more hardships in life and/or had a harder time mounting a strong legal defence (though intelligent people are more likely to abuse drugs [1]).

I suppose this struck me in particular because it's a strong condemnation of the stereotype that prisoners are "certain kinds" of people. The contrast is what made it stand out. Maybe it can serve as an example for those who believe you only end up in prison if you are one of those "certain kinds" of people.

Again, it wasn't a calculated sentiment, it just struck me how absurd getting sentenced to up to 30 years of imprisonment is, especially as a 19 year-old who probably could've ended up at a top university if not for life circumstances.

I also think our justice and prison system is fundamentally flawed and should be reworked, especially for non-violent crimes (which this borders on the edge of).

Earlier societies found it more cost effective to exile or kill people. But the least socially damaging option was to fine people, thereby lowering their social status.

Because lives were so important to the survival of the group, you couldn’t casually discard one.

So someone who murdered someone might pay a severe fine which would lower their social status to the point where they couldn’t have a family etc.

But yes, buying your way out of punishment was normal.

Should we go back to that, you think?
We have to have a justice system - to protect the guilty.

If someone killed one of my children in the way that this man killed, I would kill him for retribution.

A justice system protects him from my wrath. And protects me from the wrath of his father once he learns his son is dead.
Prisons have lots of (seemingly to me arbitrary) rules. Only new books from the printer has been my experience.

Personally I'd want them to not have executive jobs where they have influence over peoples lives. Not as a punishment, but as an actual deterrent.

However I'd personally prefer to root out why right-wing extremism is on the rise. I had this discussion a few days ago about what should be done about the capitol terrorists, and I don't think they should face severe jail/policing.

I know of a few leftist circles that also banned any mention of FBI tiplines etc, because those individuals were just a symptom of a problem. And punishing the symptom does nothing to the disease.
There is definitely good wine and not so good wine, if you define "good" as something you like.

> or contemplating the consequences

What those consequences be if the society does not punish people for that? (where “punishment” isn’t necessarily prison time)

You can’t bring back dead people to life, unfortunately. For some other crimes you can be fined, make amendments in other ways, having your license revoked, etc. But not for manslaughter. For this crime any punishment is exerted only as a message to other people: don’t kill people or else those bad things will happen to you.
Yes. Check out this one.[1]

Watch the display for what it sees and isn't seeing. Awareness of oncoming traffic is almost nonexistent. Except when the FedEx truck is reflected in some windows; then it detects the reflection as a vehicle. Although the streets are almost empty, the driver takes over frequently.

This is way below what Waymo and Cruise can do.

Don't forget cross-immunity from other viruses. Numbers I vaguely remember put it anywhere from 5% to 30% depending on the country.
This is a specious, chicken-little argument. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of people on the edge is nearly 100%, and that consumption will inevitably lead to both corporate profits AND people getting what they think they absolutely need. Should we cut off our noses to spite our faces? Maybe stimulus checks should be extra conveniently issued in Nixon bucks that are only redeemable at actual hipster small businesses, that take 3 hours to make a cup of coffee, such that inner-city and food desert people can't practically use them?
Yes, I know, but murder is a very different sentence from manslaughter. This was obviously his fault, and I feel terrible for the 2 people who were killed, but it wasn't premeditated or even intentional.

Intent plays a big part in sentencing, so I think there is an important place for understanding and rehabilitation. This situation is tragic all around.
> To make sure this doesn't happen again?

I have been informed of cases where drunk drivers get their licenses revoked yet continue to drive anyways. Should the system just continue to give this individual another slap on the wrist? The system should work to make the necessary adjusts to protect society from these individuals. For some, putting on a breathealyser is enough, while sometimes people start to have their friends breathe into it instead. If there is no other measure that can be taken to prevent an individual from becoming intoxicated and conducting heavy machinery, then I don't see another alternative.

> You could execute drunk drivers and the rate of new drunk drivers wouldn't change.

I'm not sure how feasible it is to make this statement because I'm not aware of anyway we could test the accuracy of this statement.

One field I'm interested in being developed is detecting cars whose drivers seem to be intoxicated with machine vision software. Some cities / countries have enough state-owned cameras in public for this, and you could combine this with IoT spikes in the road or state-controlled kill-switches to completely eradicate drunk driving.
Not to mention the armed robbery after the drunk driving occurred...

I think the punishment system we almost hilariously call a justice system needs a lot of help but this seems like a young man who was a real danger to society. A lost decade should take the wind out of his dangerously murderous antics.
Again I don't think someone who is behind the wheel driving drunk is thinking about the consequences of their actions. I don't think the severity of the punishment changes that.

I'd much rather see why drunk driving rates is far higher in the US than other countries with similar laws and transpiration systems.
I purchased an M1 Mac Mini (really tired of the instability of my thunderbolt hub, although the TB3 hub has been great). But I can't find info anywhere about whether I can just hook up two 4k monitors at 60Hz using the two thunderbolt ports (in DisplayPort mode).

There's literature about hooking up one of them to TB, and then the other to HDMI.

But this article suggests there should be more than enough bandwidth to use two TB ports in DisplayPort mode.
I migrated a large codebase with 2to3 and six. It took me half a day. 2to3 did roughly 60-75% of the work and six cleaned up almost all of the rest. It's not foolproof, but it is surely better than nothing.

It's perhaps also worth noting that I did this in late 2017. Your experience likely varies depending on when you attempted it.

My own philosophy is that we should be prepared to come down like a hammer on the crimes that require premeditation, dedication, and intellect to execute.

If someone gets caught up in the wrong crowd at a young age, they need help not punishment - even the process of receiving that help can be sufficiently emasculating as to be punishment in itself (arguably).

If, for instance, the you-know-which Trump pardons hadn't happened, then they absolutely deserved to be punished. Similarly, tax offences at scale and (say) trying to overrule a result in Georgia...

If it weren't for my existing beliefs about the death penalty, I almost believe in capital punishment for treason - specifically espionage. Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen are unbelievably lucky to be alive.
I own a model 3. Often it says "the camera is blinded" (e.g. when the sun is shining at it), often there's rain on the lens... So I'd argue Tesla's cameras are much worse for driving under all conditions vs. the human eye. I'm not sure there's enough redundancy for depth perception either. I tend to agree with the argument that humans prove it's possible to drive with just visual sensors but Tesla's sensors, for better or worse, are not equivalent.

Then there's the part about the brain being what gets the sensor data and interprets it. I doubt Tesla's computer has all the capabilities of a human brain.

Driving behind a boat trailer, it's clear to me it's a boat, but Tesla's computer is confused. Bicycles can be a little iffy as well. In general the way the car perceives the world seems subpar to how a human does, by far.

I'm a fan of the car, I'm mostly a fan of Tesla/Elon, but I don't think these cars with this technology are ever gonna be truly autonomous so they can drive with no human intervention... IMHO.

This looks comparable to other monthly wine subscriptions. For example, Bright Cellars' subscription was $80+S+H+tax for 4 bottles a month, with regular upsell emails for a 6-pack or 12-pack or a box of cheese.

So on one hand, since humans can drive using only vision - lidar isn't needed.

But on the other hand, even though humans don't need that much training data suddenly vast amounts of data is absolutely required?
Author asks for "Strava for reading". Goodreads already has this functionality. You show off which books you have read, rate and review them, and set goals for books read per year, then compare with your 'friends'.

Exactly. There's real world video footage showing the vehicle behavior that includes Tesla animations showing the vehicle's current understanding of the environment.

It's rather cheap to take trivial shots at Tesla (no matter how bad their product might be) while comparing it to 23 year old understanding of human-machine automation in an entirely different context such as aviation.

Quite unfortunate you're downvoted, but literally asking people to watch some videos of real world usage [1] to make up their minds appears to be too much.

Then I beg you to read it a fourth time, because you've mixed up the two opposing 'weak man' claims:

1) The left saying: "Those silly righties are mad at Starbucks because they won't put Christmas decorations on their cups!"

2) The right saying: "Those silly lefties hate religion so much that they get mad if you tell them merry christmas!"

You started this thread by mentioning the first one. Someone replied to you that 'bring merry christmas back' was indeed a thing. Then camjohnson26 replied to them, saying "They wouldn’t feel like they need to bring Merry Christmas back if the overly politically correct voices hadn’t tried to cancel it in the first place."

Note that the first half of that (people trying to bring the greeting back) is a reference to weak man 1, and the second half (people trying to cancel the greeting) suggests that weak man 2) wasn't an exaggeration, it really happened. It is that latter half that I responded to.

Does the left think it enough to meet some arbitrary threshhold that allows us to call it 'widespread'? I dunno, that sounds totally subjective and semantic. Luckily that's not what we're arguing about (I just used that term as a short way of saying 'as widespread as the right has claimed'). What we are arguing about is: were the claims from the right about the left being against 'merry christmast' roughly accurate, or a big exaggeration? I claim the latter, and camjohnson26 (I'm fairly sure they would agree) was saying the former.
> I know of a few leftist circles that also banned any mention of FBI tiplines etc, because those individuals were just a symptom of a problem. And punishing the symptom does nothing to the disease.

Arguably leniency is precisely why the problem is what it is today. Laws are laws, the only reason why the Capitol incident happened is that the American far-right is in Q-induced fever dream completely unchecked by any feedback.
We may not teach a codified grammar rule set until later, but we are definitely learning grammer as we learn language for the first time.

My 2 year old will say things like, "I like she". After which we will correct her, "I like her".

She has never heard anyone say "I like she" but she is re-ordering and inventing her own sentences using unspoken rules. (She may have generated that sentence from hearing "where is she?") She will eventually recognize that some things don't sound right, but she is also applying those things that sound right to newly invented sentences using those rules.

So in effect, we do seem to be learning rules when first learning to talk, we just are extracting those rules internally and applying them rather than working from a codified set of rules.

It actually is a JSON problem, specifically because ...

> You gotta remember that JSON doesn’t support all of the types that many languages do. So you need to engineer around that

And now you have N+1 problems.

> You can’t get mad at JSON for not being good at this.

It's not about being mad at JSON or even critical. It's about recognizing that the format's simplicity pushes some logic into either your language, your codec/serdes or your application itself.

Unfortunately, what I've seen is that people opt for the "application itself" approach, do it completely ad hoc, and trust all kinds of godawful things that have no reason to be trusted.

If you're using JSON and represent richer types (edit to add: and almost every JSON API does, there's no Date type so you're definitely making some assumptions about names or string [or bless your heart number] data), you should either:

- Use a transport format that extends it in a consistent way like Transit.

- Use the same codec logic on coupled client/server, and make your server's codec logic a first class part of your SDK which you should provide.

There's good tools for sharing and translating type definitions. Use those too. There are better tools even than that (one of which I'm working on, and hope to have a `Show HN` soon).
I’d do much for one more burrito from the old school La Costeña. They were so good.

It’s extremely rare for automated attacks to scale against popular CMSs before the patch for that vulnerability is available. In the vast majority of cases the script kiddies find out about the vulnerability when the patch is released. Then some bad guy has to write the script to target it, and distribute that and/or scale it. All a site owner has to do to win, is patch faster than that.

We always aimed to evaluate security patches same-day. The shortest lag we saw was “Drupalgeddon”—about 12 hours. In some cases we would see a lag of up to a month between the release of a patch and the signatures of automated attempts to exploit the underlying vulnerability. We eventually got rid of our IDS because all it did was log failed attempts to exploit vulnerabilities we had already patched, and fruitless door-knocking like password brute force attempts.

I’m sure you saw a lot of CMS installations that got hacked. I’m also sure that most them were because of either poor patch discipline, or misconfiguration, or both.

I guess it’s true that if someone is going to be bad at running a website, a popular CMS might be a bad experience for them. But even then a popular CMS may have an advantage: it’s a lot easier to find professional help for a popular CMS than for a niche or custom one.

Honestly, running any software at all is going be a nightmare for a lot of people. Hence the success of products like Squarespace and Wix; now they don’t have to.
This argument without data is just as useless as Tesla's pro-AP argument without data.
