This decision from Tesla is going to get people killed.

Tesla owners, we should sue Tesla for this. They're going to take away features that influenced our purchasing decision with an OTA update. This should not be allowed.

While many employees at Citizen felt the Pacific Palisades incident was a huge mistake, Andrew Frame looked at it differently. While Frame showed some contrition, he sees the bounty experiment as a "massive net win," a step on the way for his app to become a private safety network that is "going into what the government is failing to do," which is, in the company's mind, failing to keep people safe, according to his Slack response to Prince.

Citizen's culture seems fundamentally rotten and I think I understand why with this CEO.
That's exactly what it is. The "science" behind the climate change narrative is sponsored by groups that want to implement a global carbon tax, or any other justification they can think of to create a one-world government. It's exactly the same BS as the COVID manipulation we've endured since 2020.

Water vapor is a bigger contributor to the greenhouse effect than CO2 by three orders of magnitude. The current "models" do not accurately reflect the sun or water on earth.

The fatigue and apathy is because the predictions has been serially wrong. So much so they had to rebrand "global warming" to "climate change".

Normally intelligent people have let their hubris make them victims to globalist propaganda. It's disturbing to see how many people not only fall for it but parrot their programming ad nauseam and attack dissenters pointing out raw fact (like that unadulterated satellite temperate data shows the earth's temperature as relatively flat for the last 20 years, or that the 1930's were warmer than temperatures today).

The earth will be cooler in 10 years, not warmer. We're heading into a grand solar minimum. Wait and see.
I've been trying to invent a JSON-Lisp language like this for a long time. My first attempt was Jaspr (https://github.com/ar-nelson/jaspr), which has its own syntax that compiles to JSON. But I'm working on a new, Turing-incomplete variant called MiniJaspr that fills a similar niche to config languages like Jsonnet or Dhall.
Seems like Teslas current advantage is the extensive fast charge network. Everything else seems to be quickly on the way to be matched or surpassed by traditional car manufacturers. I don't see a basis for their continued stock price rise. When competition will eat their lunch. Honestly, if this was a true free market. China will dominate car manufacturing.
Yes completely. What I am seeing more and more is people try to shovel everything into big-data, but it becomes a nuclear powered can-opener which I am not sure is needed. The UI for this oscillates between excel with a macro or here is SaaS. Absolutely nothing in between.
Good point that StGit's docs could benefit from a compare/contrast with interactive rebase workflows. Thanks!

> slightly nicer interface to interactive rebase

More accurate to say StGit is an alternative interface that does some of the same things as interactive rebase (and more). For me, part of StGit's value proposition is that it is not interactive. A single imperative StGit command may accomplish as much as an interactive rebase session.

Workflows using `git rebase --autosquash` feel more similar to StGit because of their non-interactivity.
Wait for what?

Easy Backup System
I consider the unified languages of the past to be VB6 and Borland Delphi as two successful environments that had many happy users who preferred to live inside that world and get things done without a lot of fuss. I know my friends when VB6 started to be disfavored by MS and they felt pressure to learn .NET refused to use .NET as it was just too hard compared to VB6. The reference manuals for .NET are 1000's of pages when you print them all out.

My measurement of complexity includes both the syntax of the language, and also how many library API's you have to learn.

Haxe, which has roots in an open source version of Adobe's ActionScript is an excellent product. I often consider switching to Haxe for the implementation of the transpiler as it would yield Linux support. I currently emit AS3 or JS code, but Haxe is a very strong possible direction in the future as Haxe has a lot of portability.

I don't consider C a unified language. It had no database, no drawing model, no event model, and Berkeley Sockets was a library added in to support the internet, that unfortunately did not achieve complete standardization. C is the most portable language, but it just a step above Assembler, and full of pitfalls.

Tools do wax and wane in popularity; they are all useful in certain circumstances, and the more generally useful the tool, the more it gets used. VB6 was abandoned by its owner MS, when Gates retired (Basic was his pet project, as it was the original foundation product of MS' fortune). People used it as long as they could (and some still do). VB6 didn't make the jump to the Internet, but it could have if MS hadn't tried to force everyone into .NET (which was very complex).
I also see climate change being adopted by people to advance their unrelated causes.

For example, AOC's "Green New Deal" proposal was full of social justice programs. Socialism is often put forward as the solution to climate change, although socialist countries have a very poor track record of environmental stewardship.

Free markets, on the other hand, produce the necessary surplus needed to address environmentalism, i.e. free market countries can afford to address it. Marginal economies cannot.
if you're wanting to reuse the same logic on both backend and frontend, you can just use JS on the frontend and backend and pull your functions/utilities in from a shared library - either a git submodule, private NPM package or (my preference) have all three running inside a yarn workspaces monorepo.
I didn't read that as objecting to anything, it looks like an honest question...
The Lunar Governance Report and Eagle Manifesto
I’m usually one to not like over regulation.

Radar / no radar is a pretty drastic change though.
I'm not sure how you'd expect people to find that since it's not linked from the article.
Did I read that correctly? Are they removing the feature from existing cars as well?

And that's because Tesla decided to ditch radar due to chip shortages?

Beyond the purely technical API documentation, I saw a (small) number of what looked like an article tying an entire API together and explaining how it works, or giving examples, like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebRTC_API/...

They are constantly giving birth? That seems like a much more relevant medical condition. (But yes, I get your point -- it's just that it's not relevant when you're conflating burning a finger with giving birth.)

Pain definitely does have a purpose. It alerts you to things you may need to know about. Once you're alerted, its purpose is mostly lost. And many, many people living with chronic pain can tell you that sometimes the message is worse than the cause. The fact that complete absence of pain is a problem in no way supports your imperative to not get an epidural during childbirth.

I agree that getting an epidural before handling sharp objects is unwise.
Yes and it has similar causes. Very low (in fact negative) interest rates set by the FED and ECB on top of „quantitative easing“ policies. After the subprime crisis and especially now due to the Corona crisis we have unprecedented monetary expansions.

This is why people cannot simply put part of their earnings into a simple savings account anymore — traditionally a low-risk way to accrue interests and leaving the risky investment schemes to more knowledgeable people. In these times everybody thinks to be a good investor ...

People calling for banning Bitcoin should rather consider where this trend is ultimately coming from and start questioning our current monetary system instead.

Personally, I am quite positive towards certain cryptos but I think these crazy pumps and dumps we see currently are not only fueled by technological craze but especially by bad monetary policies implemented by irresponsible governments addicted to deficit spending on the one hand and central banks supporting the abuse. In the long run Bitcoin and DeFi blockchains might actually help bringing back reason and humility into the financial sector but currently they are driven by a huge surplus of money created by the very people in power now demonizing cryptos.
Nix is also code for Linux and Unix when speaking broadly. It's a nebulous term.

Benchmarking Linkerd and Istio
It's cars produced since April 27-- Tesla has been holding a decent number of cars for delivery (see: FB & Reddit complaints from people about their delivery dates being pushed back), so it's possible that the cars produced after the 27th were just not delivered before the software was ready for the bare minimum vision-only Autopilot.

I see this so often with fake news. People spread it because they want to believe it because it confirms their worldview. So when you point out the story is fake, they insist that it might as well be true.
If you use MDN once or twice a month it's still well worth the $10, IMO. I use it way more frequently than that.
Are you gaslighting me or what, dude? Because your own very first link shows a clear sea-level rise of almost 20 centimeters from 1900. (this https://www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/rlr.annual.plots/20_hig..., if you are incapable of clicking on links in actual webpages).

What are you trying to say? It hasn't accelerated? Because clearly it must have sped up since before records began, otherwise it would not agree with records and reconstructions from 1000 and 2000 years ago.

> command vocubulary

A sibling comment mentions interactive rebase. I had never thought about it this way but if stacked got gives you a command vocabulary / imperative interface to adjusting your local commits, I would say `git rebase -i` gives you a declarative interface.

I prefer the latter; it's easier for me to prepare a bunch of modifications in an emacs buffer / vim tab and then have git go and do them all at once rather than try to maintain the state of the commits in my head and plan out the commands one at a time to achieve the same result.

I think that is a better FizzBuzz example. You are right that it isn't meant to showcase the whole language, but lacking a composable solution (mod N1 || mod N2... for N prime factors) makes me immediately think the language does not lend itself well to that kind of composition.

And as others mentioned, Fizzbuzz is merely a "can you program anything test." But I do prefer the "general" fizzbuzzjazz, which accepts a list of numbers and a list of words [fizz, buzz, jazz,...] and emits the strings for appropriate prime factors.
Yeah I am not just talking about analytics.. even basic merging across data-sources and simple visualizations based on the blended data and the ability to go across environments.
>Tesla is lacking radar modules due to the chip shortage

Is there evidence this is the motivation for the decision? I’m not skeptical, just couldn’t find it in the article.

When I first read it, I assumed it a was a technology choice as there seems to be competing camps between cameras and radar. Musk has previously stated he was in the camera camp because they provide more information and I figured this was just a another step in solidifying that position.
This might be for improving their camera-based vision system by collecting both camera inputs and accurate ground-truth data via LIDAR to train the system with.
Doesn’t Subaru use stereo vision though? Having depth cues and not having them seems like a pretty big distinction, and Tesla just removed their only source of depth.
they removed radar because of the chip shortage and now even more people will die from auto kill.
There is a lot of “woo woo” crap in the child birth industry. All the way from hardcore “all natural” proponents to traditional “hospital birth no matter what” people. Unfortunately this causes a lot of anxiety and second guessing on the part of new parents. I really didn’t appreciate the quasi-relgious or cult-like guidance we received on breast feeding our son, only to have him lose 15% of his body weight and not gain it back until we supplemented with formula.

If you haven't read it I highly recommend The History. Herodotus can be very entertaining. He pretty clearly lays out things he personally saw, things he heard from firsthand accounts, and things he heard secondhand. It's fun to see how things get more fanciful the farther you get away from the Mediterranean he knew.

One thing that randomly sticks in my head is he said the Ethiopians were there most beautiful people in the world because they drank so much coffee, but beyond Ethiopia the land is uninhabitable because of all the flying snakes.

They haven’t announced anything like that - they’re just using LiDAR rigs to validate data from their vision based approach, particularly distance. It actually even mentions something about it at the bottom of the article you referenced.
> The emergency brakes of that cart were intermittently triggering

My guess: each time a strand within the cable broke the cable stretched a little and the brake triggered.

Five years ago a company was hired to maintain the cable car. They took one look at the state of it, wrote to the operator (the town council) saying it needed to be shut down and exited the contract. It was an accident waiting to happen long before the brake fiasco.
Although there is similarity, we are radically different.

We transform any existing databases MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server & SQLite databases into a spreadsheet. This is a _massive_ difference to begin with. And the ability to invite team to collaborate and build business workflow automations with Slack, Twilio is available for everybody. Since the launch today, I have already have close to 25+ plugin requests which sounds reasonable for NocoDB to have! We believe for a horizontal product like NocoDB - developing every app, connector and plugins is just beyond the ability of single team in open source. It is community driven approach that eases this possibility.
They won't know that it meets the requirements until it has been tested, so putting this clarification out in the meantime covers the gap until vision-only testing has completed.
The irritating thing is it's all so unnecessary. My Tesla is a great car. But I paid an extra $10,000 for a feature that was promised but still hasn't been fully delivered, FSD. It feels like I paid extra for my awesome car to be sabotaged. What was promised by FSD was never going to be possible, and yet they are doubling down. They need to stop this idiocy. The vision system is horrible. The car stops at green lights. It swerves around phantoms at speed. It fails to brake when it ought to, and brakes way too late after it should have decelerated. When it encounters a car parked on the side of the road it stops instead of going around.

Okay I'm glad we get over-the-air updates, but it just makes me sad that the updates improve things so slowly in a two steps forward one step back sort of way. I thought it would be further along by now.
We never heard even the slightest hint of a sales pitch for circumcision. A single question of whether we were planning to do it or not was all.
Lol, you know epidurals only last as long as they're administered right? As soon as the baby and placenta are out, they stop the flow and feeling starts coming back pretty quickly. The doc can also adjust the level of meds on the fly to allow enough sensation to facilitate pushing. And mom just stays in a hospital bed until it's safe anyway.
Could you expand on this idea a bit more? My curiosity has been piqued, but I'm not sure I really understand the system you've described.
Yep, back in the 1970s it was the coming ice age, and it was also the "population bomb." If neither of those happened, we were going to have a global thermonuclear war. Doom-and-gloomers will always find reasons to preach doom and gloom.

"I can see how some of you would say switch to pm2 or something newer"

I was more thinking you should pay the devs to patch this if it is so mission critical for your business. Also, accountability is a funny word when it comes to code that is completely free.
I wouldn't even consider this regulation. This is organisation A asking org B to review their product and put a sticker on it that it passed the tests. Then org A decides to make a different product, so org B clarifies that the new product is not the one they tested and certified.

This would still go the same way if org B wasn't a government org.

I have no idea on the moisture levels that cause it to be set off, I just remember reading/watching a video about it because at first it seemed like technology that SHOULD be widely used and implemented. When I first learned about it I thought it was a great idea.
"A typical trap, with a 40-square-metre collecting area, yields about 200 litres a day. That is enough to supply around 60 people with drinking water. Such a collector costs $1,000 or so, and will last a decade."

To me that sounds cheap already. 13c/month/person. $1.37/m3. I pay more than that per m3 (Sweden).

To scale things up for agriculture or forests, I would assume a more industrial scale for the whole thing would make more sense. Feels like it could lead to an order of magnitude in lower cost - mainly because $1000/40m2 seems expensive. Growing forests in the desert using fog-water... could it be something for Elon's carbon capture contest? I don't know about relevant data points to make the calculations - how much water do you need to grow a forest in a desert? How much co2 does a forest capture when "completed"? How much time does that take?
Why not? The Phoenicians had rowers and could just take down their sails. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trireme they also beached their boats at night so they must have been quite comfortable traveling over shallows.

That's neat, but imho start with the plain fizzbuzz first. Everyone has it in their lexicon so it acts as a first-pass Rosetta stone for what the language syntax is like. Adding extra bits implies you need those to get the job done.
Sorry, Inline Caches.

From what I understand, there are basically 3 things that provide the bulk of performance gains in compilers: inline caches, register allocation, and inlining. The latter two don't really apply to interpreters or baseline compilers.

Compilers do many optimizations beyond those, but generally only for incremental improvements.
