I'm not talking about the "full self driving" optional feature. Personally I agree with criticism of the FSD product name and I think it's an inappropriate and misleading name. But that's not relevant here, because the car did not have the "full self driving" feature.

This is actually very important, because it means the customer explicitly declined Tesla's repeated prompts to option "full self driving" features into their vehicle. Therefore this customer will have been acutely aware that "full self driving" is a feature their car did not have and thus the car could not be capable of any such "full self-driving".
Sarcasm comes out when a team is very healthy or very sick. It’s either a trust-fall game that brings everyone together or a way to ask a question without having it said in a low-trust environment. If you can’t tell if someone’s joking, that could mean they’re too scared to tell you the truth straight. Or, they trust you more than they should.

The naming of enums was a bit of a stumbling block for me in my learning Rust journey, but once I got past that, I'm doing fine. I'm finding the language wonderfully expressive and while I still find myself changing fn foo(bar: Baz) to fn foo(&bar: Baz) a lot (and related issues) as I write, the compiler does a good job of explaining what I'm doing wrong. I have never encountered any compiler (or other application) with as good of error messages as Rust provides.
> is it really less cruel for these animals to never exist at all?

I’ve seen this question asked time and time again, and it makes no sense to me. People commit suicide out of (often transient) emotional pain, and less frequently out of physical pain. If we who have the capability to envision a better future decide to opt out of suffering via death, why do you imagine that a chronically-suffering animal’s life is better than not facing that suffering in the first place?

I think we're done here.
As someone who began learning with a statically typed language then moved to a dynamically typed language, I can say that I found learning a lot simpler with a dynamic language.

I see static typing as a nice tool to help stop you making errors; but when I was trying to wrap my head around how to program I found it easier to not have to fight a compiler and allow myself to make mistakes.

B-trees[1] are pretty fast to iterate through as long as the branching factor is fairly large. If the branching factor is 100, you would only need to chase one pointer every 100 nodes (and in practice, even larger branching factors are common).

They wouldn't be used so heavily in filesystems and databases if they were slow to iterate through.

> The De facto super set of D code will always be D.

Well, I'd like to make it clear that creating a "de facto super set of D" is not my objective, anyway.

But I'd like to say that, although compiled languages are nice and D is really amazing, I don't even dream of using D to create some quick-and-dirty scripts, the same way I don't even dream of using Til to create shell scripts (I never met any general-purpose language that served as a nice shell, Tcl being the closest one, but still - it's not a traditional shell and the experience is only tolerable, IMHO).

Furthermore, it's also not my objective with Til, but I believe, anyway, that a nice scripting language on top of D would prove very beneficial to the language - it's interesting to try it, right? At least to see what happens...

What kind of publications are you referring to? Yeah, many pop-sci articles often overstate the implications of a given discovery, but actual research papers (such as the one linked) typically have a discussion section in which they describe the limitations of the discovery and what kind of future research could help expound on the pitfalls of the current research.

The paper in this post itself has its own Limitations section.

I think the only reasonable path forward is to move away from completely general AI (because we all know that anyone who claims they have reliable general AI is lying) and embrace specific AI. Intelligent route planning to compensate for the deficits of our current perception tech stack is a good thing and allows greater reliability. It is harder to scale this but it’s a far more tractable problem than aiming for complete generalization.
> I wonder if they considered having a couple of big lights in center field for the ump to get this info visually.

Another thing to consider is that the ump also has other responsibilities than just ball/strike. Keeping it audio only allows the ump to focus on check swings, catcher interference, and anything else that requires his eyesight.

Oh God, CMake and dependencies are at least 80% of why I decided to learn Rust. I decided to give a shot to C++ back in November/December for a project I'm working on and it was ridiculously painful to do something like set up a simple library with unit tests using CMake, especially coming from writing Java in my day job where it's trivial to do this sort of thing. Starting from scratch with Rust about a month and a half ago, I've been more productive in that month and a half than I was in five months of banging against CMake and trying to figure out how to bring in external dependencies.
I renember reading some Asimov writing where he mentioned that the earth is a very bad place to setup a launching base. He hypothesized that humans would create a launch base on the moon. And that with that gravity, something like magnetic launchpads could be used.

Mercator is what you get when you preserve local angles (ie shapes). So it's only natural that moving away from Mercator would distort shapes.

I love that scene. It’s one I find myself thinking back on whenever there’s a cartography discussion (such as this thread).
In addition to my prior comment, I've always thought the best path would be an automated "assist".

So you get the human calls from the ump, but at the same time there's a way of signaling if any are egregious. If so, you can override the human call.

Problem is, that process would happen often and need to take less time than a standard play review, which already can drag, and it has to be agreeable.

Books are just a scalable version of mentoring in my experience. So are classes. Mentoring is for when you've done all the right books or aren't sure which books to read.
I don’t buy this narrative at all. It is frequently repeated but without evidence. Most high test scorers do not have tutoring. The majority of high scorers learn using cheap test prep books (which are cheap enough for everyone to afford), their talent, and plain old hard work. This lawsuit uses vague claims to try and make it seem like all high scorers don’t deserve their score but the reality is almost all of them do deserve it.
Section 2.3 of the reddit post [0] (titled: "And if it were created in a lab, SARS-CoV-2 would have been engineered by an idiot") mentions covid having a polybasic cleavage site, which is suboptimal for humans (the "ford focus" of cleavage sites), but binds to many other species (ferrets, cats, chimps, etc), along with a promiscuous and somewhat unstable spike protein to bind to those diverse ace2 receptors, meaning this was most likely made by nature, jumping through animal populations.

The article you linked seemed to mention furin cleavage sites in a hypothetical context, unless I'm missing something.

The tools are awful and software people don't know how good they have it. However, the tools also do a ton of optimization for you, and so it's somewhat justified that they take a long time to run.
Most of this was better left unsaid.

So many words to state the obvious that like, for example, this would be illegal? Did the coy language not tip you off to the fact they realize that? Then suddenly trying to champion Cellbrite as the reason we something as anti-privacy as backdoor mandates and encryption bans while at the same we're already seeing countries inch towards that?

And then seriously, acting like because Cellbrite is being used against rioters somehow this was a bad time for Signal to point out the fact that Cellbrite is an insecure pos on top of it's dubious intended purpose?? Didn't I just go through 1000 words explaining why what Signal did won't matter anyways?

-

This whole thing just reads like someone who needed to go "well actually", it's not really saying anything novel or interesting, and in the pursuit of defending Cellebrite of all things, it makes some pretty dubious connections.

Yeah, of course it's been a historical problem. But there have been at-bats that are just completely eliminated by an umpire either just being awful or making ball/strike calls emotionally. Some this season have been particularly egregious.

I think there needs to be a fine line, however. We can keep umpires in some capacity, but still make use of an automated system.

You should not be commenting on what the code does, unless it’s atrociously ambiguous, in which case you have bigger problems. You should be commenting on why the code is structured as it is, so that future self/others don’t “optimize” away functionality.

Example: reading locked registers which have to be read in pairs, and in a specific order.

Example: you have one code block because 98% of the code applies to any of multiple inputs, but if X is sent, then Y is optional and Z is implied

Comments are usually for the “why”, not for the “how”, readable code gets you past “how”.
Not cockatoos but I have had my hiking backpack opened by black currawongs in Tasmania:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_currawong#Feeding

My hiking buddy and I dropped our packs to climb Mount Ossa off the side of the Overland Track. We had been warned that the currawongs would try to get into our packs. So we zipped everything up tight, pulled the rain covers on and placed them face down (ie strap side to the sky).

When we got back from we found the birds had pulled off my pack cover and managed to open the zip for the pocket on the top of my pack and pull out a bunch of stuff. The pack cover fit quite tight, so I was surprised the birds had the strength to pull it off. The zip needs to be pulled a just the right angle to move freely, so they must have known which way to pull the tag and been persistent at trying different angles until it opened.

A quick search shows I'm not the only victim, the link below includes numerous matching stories with some photos of the aftermath:

> There’s a reason my copy of “JavaScript: The Good Parts” is extremely slim next to its sibling, “JavaScript: The Definitive Guide”.

The reason is that these two books don't fulfill the same goal. The Good Parts is a rather short walk through the language and reads more like a "get started quickly" guide. The other goes into much more detail. That doesn't mean the latter's size os due to it covering all the bad stuff whereas the former doesn't. It's just a clever title but it's an apples and oranges comparison and I'd suggest not using it as some sort of supporting argument.

Whether JavaScript is good or bad as a whole is a different question (I think it is), I'm simply taking issue with that meme (that originally popped up in picture form, the two books side by side, rather than text).

I disagree with this. Signal isn't hacking Cellebrite by creating a malformed file that causes Cellebrite's software to implode.

I would be interested in seeing this go in front of a court because Signal isn't directly targeting any specific person, and the files are fine until they are processed through a specific broken pipeline.

If I put a fake USB port on my phone that was a USB zapper to kill the device it's connected to, it would not be illegal and it would be on the people seizing my phone to take responsibility for it. You cannot repackage vulnerabilities for police and then turn around and play coy because you're not able to keep your software up to date.

In the defense attorney section, the argument shouldn't be about the PoC but the fact that the PoC shows that Cellebrite's software is outdated and could be compromised. You can specifically ask for the backup that was extracted from the mobile device to be analyzed by third party software.
Signal announced they have the know-how to disrupt any Cellebrite-extracted files and then likely sprinkled "poison pill" files in their data. So if a Cellebrite user was to extract data from a Signal user's phone, the data would corrupt Cellebrite's data.

This simply disrupts trust in Cellebrite. Nothing illegal. All Moxie is saying is "Don't want potentially corrupted data? Don't use Cellebrite." It absolutely is retribution for Cellebrite coming at Signal.

Like when the topic of the popups and privacy controls comes up people often blame lawmakers for making 'annoying' laws, when really they should blame the companies for violating privacy. The annoying popups exist because the companies are data hungry, the laws just require them to make it transparent.

This feels false on two counts. At the top engineering schools, a significant portion of the currently admitted students entering those majors end up dropping that major in their first year due to the difficulty. Berkeley’s computer science program is widely known for having a large culling early on. It doesn’t seem realistic to claim tens of thousands of other students who can’t get admitted today somehow have the necessary aptitude.

Another issue is that the degree is valuable because it is selective and admits high quality students who will be high quality professionals as well. If a larger population is admitted because they can do the coursework but they are not quite at the same tier of capability, the value of that diploma will reduce.

It's true that here the data type was just a tag. There's always a decision to be made about how much structure you want to enforce by the construction of the data type. You'd still consider it to be "parsing" because you now statically know that an Email is valid according to the rules of the parser - in a loose sense, it's a "conversion" between a type you know nothing about, and one you know a lot about.

If you wanted to go further you could start going the "correct by construction" route - having a data type that enforces more invariants. For example, you might store the recipient name, domain name, and tld of your email in separate fields. Then your parser would more obviously be a parser. I think of the "mere tag" type as a kind of degenerate case of this, rather than something totally separate.
unexpected maneuvers, even if slow, are also risky, which is something that seems counterintuitive at first but shouldn’t be. unpredictability in any direction increases the risk of collision, which is why freeways have minimum speeds and incidentally why distracted driving is so dangerous, because it exponentiates unpredictability.

we really need to collectively get past this idea that safety is bounded on one side, across all facets of our lives, because it’s usually not and that induced complacency has a way of coming back to bite us. (that’s not to say that the various risks are always substantial, just that they’re not all sitting neatly on one side.)

Does the Cellebrite device exploit hacks in iOS? My understanding is that iOS shouldn't ever allow something plugged in over USB to read data on the device like this. I've been assuming the only reason they continue to work is that they found some unpatched vulnerabilities in iOS, and that Apple hasn't been able to obtain a cellebrite device to reverse engineer so they can fix the bugs.

But if Signal got one, I'd be surprised if Apple couldn't. (Or if Signal wants to really stick it to cellebrite, they should loan their device to apple so apple can fix the security holes that cellebrite exploits.)
