> they had to be made available publicly.

Might seem pedantic but it's important to be precise: presumably you mean freely available? Publishing makes something publicly available by definition.
I have to object here, yesterday into a parked police car with blue lights on.
> Why do you think you need my core count when that number is useless for any sort of performance indication?

You're clearly being disingenuous, but I will answer your question in more detail. I already answered it above, but you don't seem to have the time to review the linked open source project.

If I use every core on your device for a decryption job that uses 100% of the resources that you provide it, your decryption job will undoubtedly finish sooner if you provide more resources. It doesn't matter how fast or slow your cores are, or if your computer runs on a big.LITTLE architecture or not.
If I hit “logout” in the browser under this system, I would be assured that my session ID is erased and not sent to the server. As is, a website can have a logout button that erases a session cookie but keeps tracking cookies.
It’s because we are scared as fuck with autopilot on and are hyper attentive. My car drives like a drunk teenager and routinely tries to murder me in autopilot.
Road and Track lacks any sort journalistic of credibility and yet again it shows here. For years they would always rate BMW as their absolute top pick (despite huge issues like the e46 chassis failures) while being wined, dined and flown all over the country by BMW's press arm. I would not be surprised if they cherry picked this video because Tesla doesn't "kiss the ring" and buy ads, wine and dine journalists, give sneak previews, etc.

I don't even own a Tesla (I do have an Audi E-tron though) or own Tesla stock directly so it's not like I'm a fanboy or anything. I'm just tired of the total failure of journalism in this country.
I've successfully been using Preview to annotate, sign, fill in annoying PDFs for years. Works great
How come having Brussels timezone by default is a sensible default, unless you live in that timezone?
Why wouldn’t everyone jump at the opportunity to pay Elon Musk money and risk their lives and time so he can get enough data to then make even more billions.
Most APIs there's usually only a handful of endpoints. There's never an auth sequence, just a simple API key. Patching is exceedingly rare. I don't want an SDK to auto-retry. Interacting with an API actually usually is or needs to be a core competency.

I still think the major promise of RESTful APIs is avoided by the prevalence of SDKs.
Exactly. The only "danger" here is to the profits of Elsevier.
It’s laughable and potentially dangerous but also just available to 2k people, from whom it is revoked if the interior camera shows they aren’t paying attention. Musk is the first person to say “be careful” when using it. The article is kind of clickbaity. No, Tesla’s FSD is not ready for wide usage. That’s also hardly a secret.
There is something airy walking down these corridors, listening to the stories of your predecessors, wondering whether you would end up as such a audio-log.

All these lifes.. a audiobook on its own - and they should have turned it into one.

I would gather that there should be a middle ground. But the larger the company, the less you will be likely to find it.

As in, our company has started doing some of these Zoom Fun meetings too. I guess as a manager I should go? Well I don't. They're after work. Bull! When we were at the office, we'd have things like monthly birthday boy/girl cake in the afternoons. During work hours, like it should be.

Also good luck getting me to go back to the office 5 days a week. Not gonna happen. This commute and quality of life is just too good to give up again. Of course there are many people in the company that miss the office and can't wait to get back. Some are just extroverts, so I get it. At least from their point of view. But then again, I really like to see them suffer. They've suffered enough you say? It's only been a year! They've made me suffer all my working life!

Others I think just like the procrastinating while showing you're "working" by having "body in office" time high.
Two things I think about whenever self driving comes up:

1. Success isn't perfect driving. It's when it drives statistically better than most people. Humans themselves are often terrible drivers ourselves, so why would we hold a robot to a standard we can't even achieve?

2. Ford's customers were right all along: What we want is faster horses.

Don’t know, but that’s just one school. Others were fined. Whether or not they actually pay those fines rather than declare bankruptcy... I don’t know. I would guess they just declare bankruptcy and laugh all the way to the bank.
I sort of agree. But there's no right answer here. We can't expect every Wikipedia article to take you through the basics of the subject from scratch. A certain level of knowledge just has to be assumed, and it's hard to know where to draw that line.
There was one this week in Michigan: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/the-federal-government...
I've mailed Alexandra in the past just to thank her for SH, she's really chill, always willing to answer questions and polite. A true emblem to the service she created...

I use SH to get access to papers so I can write for university. Without SH I would be looking at at least 500 US just for memberships to papers (some of them only retail as single docs).

While I understand people want to keep 'their' knowledge paywalled I think humanity doesn't truly benefit from this attitude, many of this scientific paper repositories are acting as ransomware to knowledge than could potentially benefit a tremendous amount of people should they decide to allow us lesser people benefit from raw knowledge.
This is awful, but it did make me laugh out loud.

That said, I have a lot of faith in Papa Musk and his team. I think this nut will be cracked eventually, but its just going to take a lot of time to do so - far more than the timeline he initially proposed, as detailed in your excellent post earlier.

Exactly. How about Facebook neutrality? Or Twitter neutrality?
You are assuming some has given them the authority to intervene.
It's impossible, legally, for there to be a "tesla accident". It is the driver's responsibility. Wake me up when Tesla can be legally held responsible is when I buy one.
I've had a lot of the same thoughts about SV, tech, and the economy that Tim O'Reilly expounds on in this essay. These are the points I liked:

- Biotech and green energy (GND) being the next two big growth segments of the economy

- SV ethos and entrepreneurs unequipped for both of these fields

- Big tech will eventually be regulated and (perhaps) broken up

- Big platforms should be using their algorithmic systems on improving human welfare, not on hate and echo chambers

- The demise of labor unions means we have a class of "precariat" gig workers who lack collective power

- There will be climate billionaires in the US

- There is so much physical work that needs to be done to create climate resiliency that we shouldn't have unemployment for a decade

- When the bubble ends, greater opportunities will remain. New innovation in medicine and climate will be capital intensive

I think the difference between me and Tim is that all of this convinces me we need a planned economy.
10 year old Android means roughly a single-core 1GHz CPU, 512MB RAM and a 480p screen. Would it be more stable? Maybe. But certainly not better performing, as that's more or less Raspberry Pi 1 hardware.
Thats what I was thinking, safety is critical, but an easy 2 day class. There are so many more interesting angles for engineering students to approach handguns whether self defense (more Bondish) or marksmanship, engineering principles etc.
So, why do you need to know how many cores my platform will provide if you can not judge the performance of the cores anyway?
I think that's the wrong question. The right question is "how much better is it than human drivers?" When you get up to 2x better, there will be _only_ 20,000 fatal Tesla crashes compared to 40,000 human ones a year in the US. It's a very low bar.

When Tesla is 2x better, we'd be reckless not to use it immediately.
> that will likely come at the expense of their Cocoa growers.

It'll be interesting to see. Making good chocolate certainly isn't easy. Nor is compliance with food quality standards..

But if they control enough of the chocolate production, I guess foreign manufacturers may choose to setup a processing factory in Ghana.

Of course, it's not without risk. Foreign manufacturers could perhaps invest into farming equipment to make neighboring Ivory Coast more productive at farming cocoa..

But doing this certainly creates uncertainty and instability, which is rarely good.
What do your feelings about the magazine really have to do with these events? Just watch the video and comment upon that, if you prefer. It's the primary source.
This isn't Autopilot, this is FSD Beta. We don't know if it has had any accidents because it's limited to a handful beta testers.

Anyway, "accidents" are not a good measure of safety for FSD Beta because just in this video it would've caused about 4-5 accidents and all of them were averted only because the driver intervened.
You forgot the best quote, I think, from Autonomy Day in April 2019: “We will have more than one million robotaxis on the road,” Musk said. “A year from now, we’ll have over a million cars with full self-driving, software... everything."
Thus the 'strictly hypothetical' part after the club got too many complaints for getting peoples hopes up.
Human also laughably bad and potentially dangerous in driving.

Full self driving doesn't mean perfect driving, it will always be continuous improvement.
Yeah. I couldn't find the other articles I was looking for.
His US bioweapon theory is pretty silly.

As for "anti-vaxers", though I don't count myself as one or probably agree politically with most of them, I'm going withhold complete judgment there - vaccines are obviously effective, but until there are actually epidemiologically valid multi-generational meta-studies with as many confounding factors as as possible removed (probably requiring placebos be given to a percentage of people) I'm not sure we can separate vaccines from other relatively novel environmental or behavioral factors that may lead to certain diseases, esp. developmental/neurological conditions.
I now have a bit less knee-jerk anti-anti-vax attitude after sitting at a table with several doctors who admitted they didn't/wouldn't follow all vaccine protocols with their own children - but I know this is certainly not scientific evidence.
But I'll certainly be getting the COVID vaccine when I'm eligible...
I used to frequently boot up my SGI and NeXT and try random sites with super old browsers to see if they still work. Sadly SSL everywhere has largely killed that experiment.
What's the point of FSD if you have to pay attention?

Come on folks... Elon has been claiming for years and years that you'll be able to read a book, or take a nap while in FSD mode, and FSD is "just a year away...". He also claimed all the hardware existed in current-model vehicles and would just be "unlocked" later. The lies pile up, yet people clamor over each other to defend Tesla and Musk.
Renewable Energy Innovations That Could Revolutionize the Energy Industry
I don't have a horse in this race re: Road and Track but in what sense is this video "cherry picked"? It's a genuine video of Tesla's FSD feature. You can watch it yourself and judge the quality of driving. I don't understand what this BMW business has to do with anything.
Hot 4mm arcs, cuts through thin plastic, or sets fires.

Since 2005, hobbyists started making cigarette lighters from these.

Then someone started actually marketing them. Then someone else came up with a switched, double-arc version with a little "X"-shaped discharge, "Plasmatic(tm)."

Now everybody gotta get their own, apparently. Not five dollars though.
South Korea must be an exception to '...a fledgling industry in a developing country cannot compete with those of already industrialized countries..'. The electronics industry in Japan and the USA was already well established before South Korea started out. China too, for that matter.
Bought a Manjaro version in December. The thing just fried itself when I pressed the restart button in the GUI. With no sign of life, several tries, and only 5 minutes af total use.
One thing that I love about the “worse” engines is the neat tricks you can do which can’t be done in the “better” engines.

Tier Drops[0], for example, could not exist in the Quake engine. It relied heavily on the tricks that simply didn’t exist in Quake. And it was loads of fun!

A large factor in that is there is a lot less vehicle use recently compared to the norm.

To the extent that people who were using the feature on their way to work are working from home, that's a lot less miles driven and less potential collisions.

To the extend that many people are working from home, that's a lot less traffic on the road to interact with, and drivers may be more attentive because of the novelty.

Statistics would be nice, of course. Tesla doesn't report on total miles driven.

Here's a recent Tesla Autopilot into parked emergency vehicle report though. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/17/tesla-in-autopilot-hits-poli...
The youtube video embedded in the article does not appear to have been produced by Road and Track. In fact it looks like a channel of a Tesla fan, it even has referral links in it for Tesla stuff. All they did was find the video and write an article about it.

I watched the video. If I had to pick an uncharitable description for just how bad it drives, and how jerky and unpredictable it is, I would say that it drives like a drunk 17 year old.
There are still hardware differences today, but at least C and C++ have standardised memory-models (regarding concurrency) now. It's at least possible to reason about concurrency in a hardware-independent way, and to write portable concurrent C, even if it's still nightmarishly error-prone to do low-level concurrent programming.
It isn't just fun events either. At my place they are trying to establish lunch & learns now. With everyone WFH. Who comes up with these crazy ideas?

With a lunch and learn when everyone is at the office, you kill two birds with one stone. Learning is a good thing and it's sometimes hard to find the time otherwise. And by offering catered lunch you get bonus points/goodwill/whatever with the employees.

During WFH times this is absolutely the opposite. You're trying to make me work during my lunch now and you don't even buy me lunch! (and no, sending me a pizza voucher or something does not make it better. They don't deliver here anyway.
Q&A with Matan Kushner, Starship – Console
Still they are at the forefront in the field. IMO in the same ballpark as Waymo.

Elon operates by setting impossible goals and under delivering on them but still going faster than all the other players. Most FSD buyers are reasonably aware of the gamble they are taking.

If Tesla turns out to not be capable of deliver FSD, it's a straightforward class action to refund everyone. Meanwhile they are trying hard to build the damn thing and my kudos for that.

Well, here's a different video. "Full Self Driving" looks dangerous and probably shouldn't be on the road:

Ok, with Pluto it had my interest, but now it has my attention.
Do you... Do you maybe not know how concurrency works?

It's not about hitting a minimum threshold of performance. It's about achieving the best possible performance for whatever system it's running on.

Maybe you think because I said VR it must mean I need to be running on massive gaming rigs. We run quite nicely on 5 year old smartphones, too. We run a pancake mode for people without VR. We run on every headset on the market, and we don't have to pay a lick of attention to what Facebook or Google or Apple thinks should and should not be in their app stores. And we can do this because of the broad range of browser APIs.
Also, the manual of macport is beautiful, as well as the port file.
This is what-aboutism. Humans are not the subject of scrutiny for this video. It was the human who countermanded the dangerous decisions made by the FSD system.
I like this approach too, but a non trivial amount of time the models come out wrong. I assume this is because of bad openapi docs, but maybe I'm wrong.

What do you use to consume the openapi docs and generate models with?
I mean he was promising to land rockets and put men in space and launch a mass market electric vehicle for quite a bit before he did any of those.

Loads of people called Elon a charlatan, but for them criticism came at virtually no cost, unless you account for the cost of not betting on him.
Are there any plans for a physical book? My attention span seems to be calibrated to focus for a prolonged period on paper but less so for information on screen.
Ha, added, thanks!
I this awesome... I've always done Array.from(new Array

But your approach makes perfect sense and is so much cleaner. Thank you!

If anyone is wondering why it works, it's because everything in JavaScript is an object. So, an array is an object with a length prop. Apparently Array.from just needs any object with a length prop to work
Don't forget the "lazy" version: (sin(x) for x in vec)
So it's full self-driving, but it's not, like, full self-driving?

Musk is "the first to say" a lot of things.
How else are they going to train the model?
Watching the video gives me flashbacks of trying to teach someone to drive. Actually I'd probably prefer that than trying to babysit this headache in traffic. At least then I'd get paid for the hassle.
Second oldest trick in the book: attack the messenger
Curiously, it seems like the portion of the population that wants to follow a sexy girl on a bike that acts like a biker uncle (i.e. getting her gloves dirty maintaining the engine) is even greater. I think this has more layers than I suspected at first.
Oh look another Anti Tesla auto journalist that came from Jalopnik. That is a surprise...

And to clarify again, I think Full Self Driving and Autopilot are bad names for driver assist that does not fully self drive or autopilot in the sense that the average layperson would think those terms mean. I dont know if Tesla will ever get to full self driving or autopilot in that respect. I also think that the driver assist as it exists today will prevent entire categories of accidents even if it causes another class of accidents. I think the net difference will be that we are safer on the road because of it. While we are so quick to call out Tesla for the quality of autopilot we forget that at least 50% of the people on the road are distracted and have no such safety net. At least once per drive I sit behind someone who decided that the red light was the perfect time to catch up on their digital life and misses the green light. I see people weaving like a drunk driver and going 20 mph under the speed limit so they can have a buffer zone in front of them while they phone and drive. We need a solution to this as people arent going to stay off their phones...
There's a lot of amazing real world technical accomplishments seen from SpaceX. They recently landed a 1st stage booster for the 9th time. There's been more than 50 successful landings now. The idea that you don't have to throw away 2/3rds of a rocket for every launch is a game changer.

I do wonder if some of these same things could, or would have been accomplished in the absence of Musk, but with the same amount of capital and under the leadership of Gwynne Shotwell. I think they would have. Musk has a big dream, and is great at hyping stuff, but it's not like he's personally engineering the Falcon 9 and its recovery system. Shotwell hired the right people to implement the grand vision.

What I'm concerned about is the people who think that Tesla can do no wrong, and it's the most amazing thing ever. When the reality between the sales/marketing pitch, as you've documented above, and what actually exists in the real world on a certain date is so divergent.
SK and China employ protectionist policies of the type that the IMF and World Bank forbid in order to get loans.
Certainly depends on your utility function and the degree to which the ends justify the means. Is it good to steal from an apothecary to treat your ill wife? etc.

The underlying issue with Pareto optimal scenarios like this is that we end up trapped in a local minima.

I think in a particular case it's important to look at the context. For this, it likely depends on the scale, so in small town Georgiaville it would prevent innovation, but across the world scope its better* for ideas to be free.

*given most mainstream progressive utility functions and non-zero-sum philosophies

People creating disruptive technologies don't have to fear from the centralized media anymore.

ARK Invest's success and openness made people realize that they can put their money in a disruptive company if they are able to handle the risk/volatility. There are amazing channels that go into the technical details (Limiting Factor is an examlple for Tesla's battery tech).
