This is utterly horrifying.

Even if Tesla owners opting into this beta test are willing to put their lives on the, uh, line, I'm not sure everyone else on the road is as keen as they are to be volunteered into this test.

I'm not sure I understand how other posters are watching this video, and are concluding that the FSD system is being 'overly cautious'. To me, it looks like it's doing its best to get T-boned.
Come on, of course it does. Don't serve us the old "it's not a bug, it's a feature".
I spoke to a fellow this year who knew that 5G is what caused COVID.

Where has tesla claim/promise that it can drive itself perfectly without accident ?
Even distracted, tired, drunk drivers do much better than this.

None of us are perfect, we’ve all driven drunk. How many times you got caught? It’s the fact people don’t get caught or crashed before that they risk it.

So really these vehicles are driving worse than humans at their worst. That’s probably why we are underestimating the problem.
Why surf anonymously or delete the cookies after all if you click "I agree" every time?
Remotely? I think Intel would need to produce a backdoored ME firmware, get the system vendor to incorporate that into a system update and then convince the target to flash that. In that sense I don't know that they'd technically need physical access, but it doesn't really meet most people's description of a remote attack.
The beta is way more aggresive than any other autonomous system I've seen. I'm not sure where you're getting the impression it errs on the side of caution.
Probably worth mentioning that although the headline of that article refers to "eye drops", the sources that it cites say that the testing was actually done with an injection into the retina itself.

I've had the honour to build clickclickclick.click (frontend/backend), with the truly unique team at Studio Moniker in Amsterdam.

I was quite inexperienced - 1 year after graduating from art school - when I joined and started working on this project. The server went down 5x in a single day because of all the requests. We were using web sockets (simple node server with express + socketio and a react + rxjs frontend) and that put some strain on the server. And I made the rookie mistake of storing images directly into the database instead of in a S3 bucket. Also we chose CouchDB, which saves document revisions (I didn't know..) so at the end of the day the database took 100% disk space and I couldn't SSH into it anymore. There were something like 20M+ database writes within 24hrs of the launch because it went viral.

We span up larger DO droplets several times because of this issue which took a while to fix.

It was my first time setting up / working with a VPS and nginx + sockets as well, so I'm actually quite pleased with only 15-30mins downtime overall on launch day :)

I learned a lot during that time (it was made in 2016), especially with the help of HN. Projects are often developed by junior devs or people skilled in other areas. Some experience is useful when deploying scalable apps. Nowadays it's much more easy with services like Vercel/Cloudflare/Heroku/AWS/etc. We used SFTP to deploy the site. I think I moved it to a Docker container some time after that.

I'm still using DigitalOcean to this day for my personal stuff, only now I use Dokku + Cloudflare - which works like a charm.

Instead of Mendelism, Lysenko adhered to Lamarck’s —now widely rejected —theory of the ‘inheritance of acquired characteristics’, which suggests that individuals have the ability to modify their features during their lifetime and bestow these features onto their offspring. If giraffes need to feed on tall trees, they would simply grow a longer neck and, rather conveniently, give birth to long-necked youngsters. According to Lamarckism, nurture, rather than nature, was the driving force for evolution.

No, sue Musk & Tesla for fraud. & false advertisement. Unless they are willing to put their responsibility on the line, it will remain a piece of garbage.
He offers ubo/abp block lists and says his extension accepts the policy when necessary. But there is no configuration, no way to add new site rules, and no source repo (would have to open the xpi myself).

It seems more useful to write my own Greasemonkey script, instead. At least when I encounter a site like this, which I couldn't think of.
In India, UPI payments approaching 100 million a day, are free for sender and receiver. The RBI (Indian Fed) has a subsidiary which operates the switch.

The payments are bank-to-bank account and non-recourse so they cannot be pulled back once initiated. There is no credit and fraud component.

India is not an exception and most other countries have similar structure. I think WeChat payments have a similar cost structure though I might be wrong. Most payment systems are very low cost (approaching cost of bandwidth). For comparison, FedWire can transmit payments upto 100 million and above for ~$1.20. Below $100 Million it is $0.90 ;)

Stock Music and Reality TV – How to Misrepresent the World [video]
I live in the very liberal Bay Area, and I have indeed said that repeatedly, and rarely do I get pushback. The biggest question is "do those parents have to be a hetero couple?" to which I reply "nope, but unless the single parent has amazing cash means or a large extended family to support them, then generally regardless of much else, 2 is better than 1".

I've never otherwise had a difficult time supporting that position in front of young SJWs at all.
I'll consider it when Musk & Tesla engage their full legal responsibilities when a car is in FSD mode, anything else is unacceptable.
How would one not use Unicode? Every character on my keyboard and screen are Unicode characters.
A bit both, basically wares, but drag the z sound out a bit.
I’m not sure your statement that it’s impossible to hold Tesla responsible is an accurate statement of the law. There is no law that says that Tesla can’t be held responsible. Any car manufacturer can be held responsible for damages caused by a product defect.

Sorry for the naive question but how is user privacy handled? Is data about the repo sent externally? I assume this would primarily be useful for OSS projects and not private or internal/confidential projects?
They're more like clothes models. The women are doing Instagram to sell things, not for male attention.

I use uBlock Origin and I never see a single ad on YouTube. This is for my laptop though; I still haven't figured a decent solution for my phone.
There's several more factors to vtubers than that. It's more interesting if you like lore, it fits with the aesthetic of the rest of the video better, you don't need to get dressed or do your makeup, etc.

As far as privacy it doesn't necessarily apply because the famous ones almost all have previous careers as face streamers, and their fans know who they are since they use their real voices. But if you are doing it to hide yourself then it works, and it means that everyone else can interact with you and seem to be in the same world.
This extension is awesome.

It wouldn’t be so necessary if all those websites asking for my permission to use cookies would actually use a cookie to store that permission / preference so they don’t ask again every damn time. This is really the reason why I use this extension - I didn’t mind so much reviewing the permissions once for each site, but having to do it constantly really became too much after a certain point.
Have you actually experienced working with co-workers who exhibit all the symptoms of sociopaths/narcissists? They will take your trust and good intentions and do whatever they can to take advantage of it. Most people are worthy of trust. But the 3% that aren’t are toxic/dangerous in ways you will only realise after the damage is done. So assume the best but don’t be naive.
In brave I don't get YT ads w/ default settings. In firefox I use the extension "enhancer for youtube".
interesting line of thinking.

just to write it all out for clarity (not because I think you misunderstood):
the might makes right that I was pointing at is an attitude of "winning is everything. winners are superior, no matter how arbitrary or unfair the game."

the might makes right that you're pointing at is the fact that in the struggle to define laws and norms, there are winners and losers.

I think it's just a question of values. there is no "neutrality" - there is always a fight between competing values, and everyone picks a side. the value that says "winning is everything, winners deserve everything, losers can die in a ditch" is a bad value to me.
Nationwide, used car prices soared 17% nationally in seven months last year
Wow! Looking forward for you to succeed. Filling out security and privacy questionnaires, especially when growing fast leads to so much wasted time.

More importantly, because of the rush the knowledge generated during the answering of questions is not captured in a reusable format.

I'm curious if could generate Security and Privacy white papers for companies that need to arm their sales/marketing teams using the information collected while fill out incoming questionnaires.

Valid question, I don't know the exact answer, but keep in mind that a closed cabin with windows will heat up naturally when the sun is up. Humans generate heat which is also trapped in that cabin. Inefficiencies in transmission etc... also generate heat although I'm not sure it's enough to make a difference.

Remember that the international space station is artificially cooled despite one side being exposed to 0 Kelvin.
There’s a 16-digit code that I pass YouTube that results in 0 ads on the platform. Can’t recommend it enough.
The threshold of information needed to gain reliable fingerprintability is so low that we could rewind the browser development clock 20 years and still be nearly 100% identifiable. We'd gain nothing in terms of privacy, but we'd lose everything in terms of the first and only application platform that runs on every system short of a greeting card, is free to use, easy to use, not tied to an app store, not tied to a single vendor.
Just because a solution isn’t provided doesn’t make criticism any less valid. That’s just a way to silence people.

That would bring memories haha
Your definition of "cherry picked" seems to differ from the generally accepted definition.

The guy that made the video and posted it to youtube is a Tesla "fanboy". I doubt his goal was to paint Tesla's FSD software in a bad light.

Yet, in one video, the Tesla nearly hits pedestrians, nearly side swipes other vehicles, drives in the wrong lane, comes to a complete stop in the middle of a busy road, and tried to drive straight through a iron fence. That doesn't look very good to me...
Very true. Casey is an odd-looking dude but damn can he churn out masterfully edited and interesting videos.
Maybe they can mine DogeCoin in the background instead of the ads?
I'm actively working on a VisiData-based drawing tool that a) uses unicode (including full-width chars), b) supports 256-colors, c) supports animations, and d) works in the terminal. It's called DarkDraw and is already making it easier to create modern terminal art.

He's definitely described autonomous driving as a solved problem. Does that count as "complete?" I don't know what happened with solarcity, but I thought I heard it's done poorly too.
We all have simplified models of other people in our heads. Without it we wouldn’t be able to function. You do too. However you might be fooling yourself into believing that your understanding of other people is somehow better than everybody else. That is another common characteristic of people: thinking that your understanding of the world and people skills are better that most. Most people think so but it obviously can’t be true. We aren’t aware of the automatic non-reflective categorisations that our subconscious makes for us before our “thinking” kicks in.
It can be a waste of time when you are fleeing Roman soldiers!
Because those cookies are cleared when the tab is closed and most of the major ad networks (Google, Amazon) forget who you are when that happens. Why worry about it?
Hacks for Data Science Interviews
I really hate ads. I think paying for content with attention or clicks is the one of the worst parts of the internet. I’d much rather pay for content with cash.

I use an ad blocker on all of my devices, but when given the opportunity to pay for ads to be removed, I do it. It’s the best way to signal to companies that you don’t want to see ads, but you are still willing to support them.

Not everyone can afford YouTube premium, but if you can, and you hate ads, you should.
I know this is besides the point, but that is a damn shame.
Yeah, I have a 12C/24T cpu, my browser appears to report 16 cores.
Even then it's not required, because it's overly distributed. You only need one copy of the Merkle tree (+ backups as necessary); to verify it hasn't been changed you don't need everyone else to copy the whole thing, just random samples of it to verify it hasn't been rewritten recently.
Do you drive in the city much? Many of the traffic rules that can be strongly enforced in rural and suburban areas cannot be followed in cities.

You frequently have to enter the other land, cross a yellow line, or turn into a different lane because of double parked cars or construction.

They’re really not that different — a language is essentially a library, but at a lower level of the stack (the hierarchy being OS > language > framework > library > application)

From that perspective, it makes about as much sense designing a framework versus a language, relative to a library.

The question then to justify a new language is to justify whether it could have been done with about as much benefit, but on a higher tier (thus, lower effort, for both the developer and the user)

I'm of the opinion that if the auto-pilot was a real driver, I'd like that "driver": 1) put into the passenger seat and required to simply observe, 2) sent back to school to learn the road rules, 3) re-sit the test to confirm knowledge and re-sit practical.

I also noticed a few sudden stops from the way the guys lurched forwards at stops. Getting rear-ended due to pointless sudden stops is a fail as well.

Its not ready for use. From what I've just seen from that video I'd be de-rating that "driver" from full license back to probationary or more realistically, right back to learner.

I'm glad there was a human at the wheel.

I played the CD-ROM version on an IBM PS/1000 with a "Blue Lightning" CPU (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_386SLC#IBM_486BL_(Blue_Lig...) which was a "486SX3" 25/75 MHz - IIRC it did manage the higher resolutions, but the framerate got very choppy when there was a lot going on...
You are absolutely right. It has been shown again and again that people in general overestimates their own intelligence, skills, people skills etc. And (in general) that the more incompetent you are, the more you inflate your own believes of competency.
You missed his last point though. Cashless payments are not a goal in and of themselves. What benefit do these people gain?
One word answer: Types.

If you dont use a language with strong type safety the benefits are less.

For instance the OpenAPI3 (Swagger-NG) standard. It allows the typing/schema'ing of the JSON bodies. It also provides a bunch of generators[1] that can be used to generate client libs. And when the languages of the client libs permit it, those libs come with lots of type safety and greatly reduce boilerplate.

You probably use an adblocker that receives money from Google to pass through a small amount of ads. 'AdBlock Plus' is one example that does it. Many others as well.

'uBlick Origin' is currently the only one AFAIK that is truly open source and not sponsored by any ad network.
Yes, that appears to be a policy.

Don't make predictions or estimates when you're happy.

Marketers are usually overly happy, especially when in the act of estimating. This makes it hard for them to resist being overly generous with their predictions.
I think it's just being confusingly stated. GP already said that reduce could implement map. I think it's merely that reduce can just output a single result, of any type. (Which is already more powerful than map, which must output an array.)

Of course, in fact you could hack anything in any of these, since you could be doing other work in the function called. But I think the general principle is sound.
Human driving tests are hilariously easy. I bet it would pass with flying colors.

Driving in downtown Oakland was incredibly complex with all sorts of unusual features, driving the course the car did in the video would have stressed me out a little, and I've been driving for 24 years. Full self driving does need to handle those situations to be trustworthy, but for highway driving and sedate suburban settings it's probably just fine.

Agree. Most of the time you can simply have a quiet polite conversation with difficult people and they will realise that they need to change and sometimes even thank you for letting them know. But I have experienced cases where co-workers don’t give a f** about anybody but themselves, will hate the fact that you approached them, and will go out of their way to sabotage you and everybody else in the future.
If a company could produce a computer that could think with the complexity of a 3 year old that would be revolutionary. To put 3 year olds behind the wheel of 1 gigajoule of kinetic energy would also be revolutionary.
