There are two types of people: those who divide people into groups and those that don't.

Seriously though: there are many more Tesla fans, there are also those that hope the company succeeds but that wished that that self driving feature had been postponed until it actually worked because in the longer term this is bad for the brand and bad for electrics as a whole.
This may work for smaller shops, but it's easy to catch larger companies doing this. Public ledger and this transaction involves knowing the buyers address.

> living with your parents isn't necessary an indicator of a social reclusve

Assuming you mean living with your parents in their house, it pretty much is. It's different if you have an elderly parent living with you in your house.

Anyone in his 30s and living with his parents is going to have constrained social opportunities unless he's some kind of royalty.
Yeah, I’ve seen this work. It’s a bit annoying to me because the boot team basically solved this problem years ago too, but the Clojure core team seems to suffer from NIH syndrome.

The other issue, though, is that I think the JVM and a couple of Clojure’s core design decisions are hampering the “everything is reloadable” workflow you get with Common Lisp: in CL, I can leave my REPL running for months and load five or six projects in parallel with no problem. In Clojure, I’ve found that I’m continuously restarting the REPL because things like protocol implementations are hard to reload cleanly.
It's far easier to start off learning a big language where a google search will solve any problem you're likely to have.
Conversely, chasing clients is the only real way to find product market fit. You need money. There’s no other way to get that money than to convince someone to pay for your product. Your product needs features and functionality to do that.

I’ve been in many scenarios where devs have pushed back on table stakes functionality simply because we didn’t have the data to prove that we need it. Even showing them a competitor and saying “we literally can’t compete with XYZ” is often met with “yeah, but do we have the data to prove that?”.

Early on in a startup your roadmap is essentially gut feelings mixed with features your prospects are telling you they’d pay for. A lot of devs, designers and PdMs can’t deal with this type of uncertainty. This is why I can’t recommend contract devs enough. They’re much more willing to just trust you and put the work in.

Or chemical. My first thought was: scram rods hanging off a "rope" made from an alloy specifically selected to melt at the right temperature. And/or a similar arrangement involving wax, as I think waxes have longer history of being used as thermal breakers.
Name one short seller who has been backed by the oil industry. Tesla is worth 3 Exxons, 3 Chevrons, or 10 BPs. This is a tired excuse that gets the motivations of short sellers backward. They do not short a company and then find damaging information, they find damaging information and then short the company. None of that excuses Tesla’s complete disregard for human life, particularly here by not having the advanced driver monitoring capabilities that their competitors have and instead relying on easily bypassed measures like steering wheel torque that will clearly lead to predictable abuse. Elon Musk has never condemned the social media stunts where people recklessly test self driving by getting out of the driver’s seat, and even commented on the porn video without condemning the behavior it encourages.
The US media saw Covid as a club to use against Trump.
Obviously a biased source, but Tesla's Q1 safety report[1] (released yesterday) reports this:

>In the 1st quarter, we registered one accident for every 4.19 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.05 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 978 thousand miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

No, this is wrong. The context for “we” is “most of the so-called Communists I met.” He is describing the people in the movement as temporarily embarrassed capitalists. It is the opposite of the apocryphal quote, which has Steinbeck positing that the reason the movement is unsuccessful as it being opposed by the temporarily embarrassed millionaires who should have embraced it.
Regarding the latter group, this video[1] that was archived by an HN user[2] is pretty telling.

I'm not aware of how things work in the US, but...

Surely if you are only handling Names and DOB you don't have to be HIPAA compliant?

I mean, if you have to be HIPAA compliant (your application is medical-adjacent and/or is handling also other bits of data besides Name and DOB), then by correlating the DOB (or name) with the rest of the data, health information could be leaked, and thus you want to protect Name+DOB with the HIPAA standards (even just the fact that a certain name uses a certain app/is inside a certain system might be sensitive).

But otherwise... almost every system under the sun is ingesting name+DOB.

(there's a case to be made that the system described in the post is a medical app... but again: different jurisdiction)

I've reviewed this and none of them seem either (a) claim they are deceptive at all or (b) are proven deceptive. You also have to ignore the pending lawsuits (Project Veritas vs NYT) and the fact Project Veritas hasn't been successfully sued for defamation or anything like that.

On the topic of deception...

The main "deception" I see is editing out sections of the video which had no bearing on the story. This is how all news is conducted.

One example labeled as a deception appears to be mentioning the thumbnail of a video:

> He framed the undercover recordings with a preface of him dressed in a "pimp" outfit, which he also wore in TV media interviews. This gave viewers, including the media, the impression that he had dressed that way when speaking to ACORN workers. However, he actually entered the ACORN offices in conservative street clothes (the sleeve of his dress shirt is visible on camera)

Does that change how the ACORN employees reacted? Is it better that they broke the law with him in different clothes (he also went to 6 different locations, dressed differently each time). This has no bearing on the story, because the ACORN employee(s) were still breaking the law - the point. The story was not about how they treated people differently based on attire.
The data there does not prove it. If you think it does, quote the exact proof.
I mean yes, web ads have been used to hack people for decades. Just put your code in the ad and steal his cookies (and the next 10 issues after that gets patched by the ad service). It was a favorite topic in blackhat presentations. At the end of the day there is no way to do ads securely, aside from maybe JPEG ads. People don't seem to understand that adding more bloat to the web (which is already a terribly insecure and inefficient way to implement software) directly reduces the security of online banking and e-commerce.

disclosure: I don't know what FLoC is, and the OP page doesn't load. Seems to be something about web ads security.
Which is why I asked for specific workloads in the comment you decided to reply to. I also say in the same comment this very thing you are reiterating...
I think his main argument is that if it's measurably safer than a person, that's good enough.

Dunno where the sweet spot is. My fear is that anything that isn't 100.00000% safe won't be allowed autonomy, it's easier to make a thing not happen than to make it happen.

I expect that at this point it's all about data acquisition. Keep pushing out new releases as you learn something, hopefully the system needs less and less driver input. Crashes are probably pretty interesting to the engineers.

Open sockets.

What

This should include all http traffic from a given client port and all tcp sockets to a given server port.

Why

Find all open traffic related to a given app. For example an asynchronous app running a lot of parallel tasks may have many open connections in various stages. It is helpful to know if a connection is open and not resolved. It is also helpful to know there is a backdoor.

Over the last few months I've been working as a contractor for a company in the US, part time. Because I live in India, and get paid in USD, I don't feel pressure to go full time. I sped the day with my 4-yo and spouse and then work from 7pm to midnight with a break between to walk the dog.

Something in this story doesn’t add up. There is no implementation of AutoPilot on Tesla cars that doesn’t require intervention by the driver every 15 seconds. Perhaps the driver undid their seat belt and reached behind to get something and was then thrown from his seat elsewhere?

How is that pull request relevant to our chat here?

By the way I don't think it's a good argument to say that your job depends on proof of stake being secure and therefore it must be secure (or "therefore you would know if it wasn't").

The coordinated bribery attack can be done by having people stake on a different chain until a majority is reached and then softfork and slash the minority.

If you don't believe the attack will work why not collect the bribe (since the defecting can be done anonymously / out of band) and if you believe it will work then you'd rather be on the winning side.

^ This is a rough sketch of the argument. As I said, it's hard to implement since you need an oracle to decide whether to pay the bribe, so it can only be done if you have second order byzantine fault tolerance and a few constructs. I believe we will see such attacks in this decade though (but ofc it only works if the PoS network is actually decentralized and it will keep working until the network becomes centralized).
Auto pilot immediately switches off if it doesn’t sense pressure in the seat, which would result it tons of beeping and the car slowing down and moving to side of road.
If the ToS are contrary to the law, then they are null and void. Laws tend to trump private agreements. Then, if it goes to trial in Europe, they’d have a hard time proving that the ToS are fair and that the user agrees freely and understanding what is being agreed, which is also another condition for any form of contract to be valid.

What resources does it have that would justify the expense?
Well, humans are more likely to be interested in bad news. As a survival strategy, that happens to be a good place to direct ones attention. Unfortunately for The News, our attention and so their source of income is getting harder and harder to come by. Given all that, and coupled with how entirely central and all-consuming Covid-19 has become as a topic the past year-and-a-half, these results shouldn't be all that shocking. I wonder how it might compare to any of the upcoming catastrophic or disruptive phenomenons of the 2020s.

> Authorities tried to contact Tesla for advice on putting out the fire; it’s not clear whether they received any response.

This will become a massive issue in the years to come unless we find a way not only to drastically reduce the number of crashes but also massively improve reliability.

High voltage battery fires are probably the worst kind of fire a regular emergency responder would have to deal with, between the hard to put out fire and the risk of electric shock. It also causes some massive damage to the surroundings (the actual road surface, surrounding cars, or any garage unfortunate to house the car at that time).

Today very few emergency responders are even trained to properly deal with such a fire, and it's a topic really lagging behind everywhere compared to the rate EVs are popping up on the streets.
If you turn on the autopilot in an airplane no one sane believes you can hop in the back seat and take a nap, and they don’t have eye tracking or control sensors. It’s not reasonable to blame Elon for someone who jumped into the back seat of a moving car.

The unsafe CLIP image search
I once unhooked my belt to take off my jacket while on autopilot. It immediately started screaming at me, disabled autopilot and started slowing down gradually.

I've also heard it uses the seat sensor to do the same. Unless they've found a way to bypass multiple safety features, then the car wasn't in autopilot.
I agree somewhat, in Haskell you can write generic functions without traits, and I think they are not monomorphized. (map for example.)

However, I think these all operate on boxed objects, which is a little bit easier to do than for Rust, where only some objects are boxed.

In short, I agree.
“They just get too used to it. That tends to be more of an issue. It’s not a lack of understanding of what Autopilot can do. It’s [drivers] thinking they know more about Autopilot than they do.”

Hmm, that seems like a rather stark contradiction.

Elon I think has some character flaws and when people are dying it's not the time to be defensive. I'm one of the least naturally empathetic people I know and yet I wouldn't be talking about anything other than condolences.

Finally he can't continue to defend the term 'autopilot' - in Public Communications, you're talking the masses, the lowest common denominator, and the 'laziest mode' of even high functioning people - you gotta use words that will shape outcomes. 'Autopilot' is just a bad choice - he needs to change it.

BTW, I'm Ron, the coiner of Ron's First Law, if that helps you put it in context :-)
> I feel like reporting on self-driving car accidents deceptively obscures the reality that self-driving cars are already much safer than human-driven ones, on average

Don't get me wrong - I too am a Tesla fan, and my next car will most likely be one too. And disclaimer: I also own stock.

But yeah, I wish both Elon and the rabid FSD evangelists would quiet down and stop hyping FSD and robotaxi. I agree that hyping it right here and now today is going to hurt the brand more than help.

The bad attention is already happening. You hear about any other company making incremental advances in autonomous vehicle tech, and it's generally met positively. News about greater, more significant, advances from Tesla, are met with second guessing, doubts, and worries about how many people will get hurt.
> Tesla has previously cautioned its customers that Autopilot is not an autonomous driving system

Then why the fuck did you call it autopilot then? Are we trying to prove that bad marketing can kill people or something?
The attacks have more similarities than differences.

First, to correct a common misconception, NotPetya definitely wasn't ransomware run amok - it was designed to look like the previously popular Petya ransomware, but the actual ransom and decryption key processing mechanism was removed as that wasn't its purpose. It was masquerading as ransomware, but it wasn't ransomware, it just destroys data by encrypting it with a non-recoverable key.

Just as Solarwinds, NotPetya also was a targeted supply chain attack - it was deployed through updates from a previously hacked accounting/tax software company "Intellect Service" to all their customers in Ukraine, which also included many multinational companies which had their finance depts file tax reports in Ukraine; and just as Solarwinds, NotPetya is attributed to Russian government.

The main difference is that, as you say, it seems that Solarwinds was (at least at the stage it was detected) used only for espionage, while NotPetya was designed for pure destruction.
> It is almost like they aren't passionate about making money but rather getting something below its market value and selling it above its market value.

I'd say that's exactly the case. It's a game for them and the money gained is just an additional motivation and something that makes them do it more and more... the hook plus the drugs included in one package, I guess.

And I'm talking far beyond just stock market games. I am talking anything and everything that makes money, including just hearing about a struggling business, buying all its assets and then reselling them at 500% profit in a matter of week.
