> What i never realized was that a LOT of these books,

This is part of a broader phenomenon, where most things are more complicated than you first think when you dig into it. This leads some people to assume work in areas they don't understand is easy.
Musk has been saying they were going to transition to all-vision for a couple years now. It's not a question of if they are going to stop, it's first, is the vision system ready or on par with radar? If it's not, then current vehicles (and, also _new_ S/X models) still get the current experience.

I personally don't care if its vision, radar, or if Elon himself remote controls the car from his house. I'm well aware of the current limitations of the software and I'd like to purchase the car knowing what I know. Having the radar come out is like buying the FSD promise; it might work next month, or it might be next year; and seeing how Autopilot was one of the features I was looking forward to, that sucks.

At the same time, there's little recourse if you want to buy an Electric car other than moving up to an S/X (which are currently 3-6 months out and 40-50k more).
You’re absolutely right that this product is heavy on the convenience side of the tradeoff.

> Was it surprising to you too that you'd have users who wanted this location on the continuum?

I’m still working on the “have users” piece, but there were signals for wanting more simplicity/convenience in conversations that I had with data scientists. I also felt as a data scientist that existing deployment solutions sometimes felt over-engineered for flexibility and reproducibility, at the cost of convenience. I'm exploring the other end of the continuum with Convect -- how opinionated can we get with ML workflows to simplify and still be useful?
> Did they remove it?

They removed it a while back after they introduced the ignition interpreter: v8 used to only have compilers (full-codegen and crankshaft, the latter being the jit optimising compiler, full-codegen was not a jit).

One particularity of the pipeline was that since there was no interpreter both compilers worked from the source, which crankshaft had to keep around and re-parse.

In 2013 they started working on a new optimising jit (turbofan), but for a while it didn’t really improve things (though the failure modes were often better than crankshaft’s).

Then some engineers realised they could use part of turbofan for an interpreter, which would allow load sharing (amongst other things turbofan would jit ignition’s bytecode instead of having to re-parse from source), that brought in the improvements they were looking for, but then full-codegen was kinda sitting in the middle awkwardly with no integration, its low-end eaten by ignition and with no real high end. So it was dropped alongside crankshaft in v8 5.9.

Now they’re reintroducing a non-optimising compiler, but one that’s integrated with the ignition-turbofan pipeline, and actually a jit.
There’s definitely a thin line there. Bluntly, if other countries don’t oppose China they’re part of the problem and I have absolutely no qualms with working around them or forcing compliance if required. We should certainly tread carefully, though.
This is a weird decision given that the eviction moratorium has been overturned by the courts and millions are going to be facing housing difficulties over the rest of the year as those evictions start to happen. Both the sales and rental markets are very low on supply right now. Increasing housing costs through higher building expenses seems like it will end up being a political land mine.
Nope. In Poland where I live, most sighted people use Android, but the proportion of iPhone users is much higher amongst the blind population, despite the enormously high unemployment and bad social security. Apple's stuff is just way better. Those who have to use Android often replace Talkback with a Chinese screen reader called Commentary. That program apparently sends god knows what god knows where, and a screen reader has access to almost everything, but that's the price you have to pay for blindness, I guess.
I believe it follows the car, as you can buy used Teslas with FSD.

right, what we needs is high housing prices.
A series of blog posts could serve as in invaluable resource for us caring but ultimately able-bodied code monkeys to refer to. If you go ahead with those, post them here. :)
> Partly, I think it's because there are no groups that represent or advocate for men, and probably for good reason.

Change the word "men" to "women" in that sentence to see how patently absurd that claim is. Women have unique needs that men do not, and organizations that help them navigate unique challenges. Why wouldn't this also be true about men? But our society is still so obsessed with "liberating" women that we can't even imagine that men might benefit from having their own spaces and advocates.

Let's talk about homelessness, criminality, or suicide rates, and see if you can convince anyone that it's "for good reason" that men have "no groups that represent or advocate" for them.
> Humans are proof that's its possible to safely drive a car with pure vision.

Humans also have eyes with a lot more than 1.2 megapixels of equivalent resolution and vastly more dynamic range, attached to a brain with damn near infinite more compute power than any computer.
Got it. Thank you for clarifying.
>here in central/northern europe, i am in the privileged position that nothing serious will happen to me.

EU almost went into flames with 1M refugees, EU might not be your favourite thing but at some point EU or not countries will face enormous numbers of refugees, way more than 1M and things will have to change for worse for you too because to have military shooting climate refugees with autonomous weapons you will need to have a fascist government. A lot of people will object that, could be religion could be ethics but you will need to shot down your own local and legal people too. You will need central European Putins and Erdogan's to sustain a suppression state.

Some of course will profit from all these but being from a lucky geography is not narrow enough, think more about having connections to the strongman who is going to create and rule the refugee shooting government.

Peaceful life when neighbours suffer is myth. Event at the most stable version of it with distant neighbours in trouble you have cavity search on public transport and 3 hours boarding times on flights.
Jon Klassen is great! Simple yet beautiful art and stories that are fun for both the parents and the kids. I love the final line of This Is Not My Hat, which works on two levels: "Nobody will ever find me."
I think your comment is interesting and generally agree, but to play devils advocate, there are certainly times when a fly might crash right into a window or something and then just gets up and keeps flying so there is also an aspect of resiliency built into a fly that we haven't (or maybe can't) built into cars.
as I learned above you can use the "end" kwarg to avoid the newline:

print("Fizz", end="")
theres actually no proof of the claim that its safer or even as safe as human driving. The only "data" is from tesla themselves. Which will hurtle you 200mph at a wall and then disengage autopilot 100ms before hitting the wall and not count it as an autopilot death.
Currently reading about agriculture throughout human history. It made me wonder how many people failed to domesticate a single kind of crop and assumed crop domestication as a whole isn’t a good idea.

I realize that people need to make decisions based on their personal experience, and I don’t have a good rule-of-thumb for when to try a variation of a “bad” idea.
It makes me think: why is a successful company which introduced a feature to supposedly improve the product beginning to consider it's better for some users to remove it instead?

I think we will regret the day when we realize we've innovated and revolutionized technology to the point where it can overpower our minds. Humans seem to be really good at designing engagement traps when they have all the tools, look to the future and see all the possibilities before them.

These people pay millions of dollars for you to choose their app over writing some words on paper, or going for a hike, or any other action you could take.

Also, I don't think Instagram would offer the option to disable likes if they didn't believe it would ultimately help them retain more users.
That’s not what the article says, and they seem to have done their research. Do you have a citation?
Full Self Driving actually counts as deferred revenue to Tesla, and is reported as a liability on the balance sheet. They cant realize that income until the feature is delivered.
Am I completely out of the loop or is this sarcasm? I thought the lumber costs were skyrocketing and housing prices were too. At least in the US, I thought this was the case.
There are several languages that only allow booleans in such comparisons.

There you can't do e.g. a bare:

if (a)

for things that e.g. in C/Java etc would be "truphy" (like 0, null, etc). Instead you need to do:

if (a != null)

(that is, check with an expression that returns an actual boolean true or false, not anything truthy/falsy that "coerces" to true/false).

In the same way, where in Python you'd do:

a = ""
if not a:
print "this will be printed"

there you'd do it like:

if not (a == "") -- or if not a.isEmpty():
...

or some such.
This feels like it's swerving into just the sort of cross-examination that I describe in the comments I just took the time to dig up for you. My purpose in doing that was not to tell you "see? anybody can just go and find these". It was, rather: here is a set of past explanations about the question you're raising, which describe our thinking on this topic. If you want to understand why we don't do what you're suggesting, you'll probably find the answer there. On the other hand, if you have a specific point that I haven't answered in the past, I'd very much like to know what it is.

The intention of all of those moderation comments, search links, etc., is to provide helpful information to people in specific contexts. Nobody's pretending that it's a global documentation system; no one's "cheating" or trying to fool anyone or trick people out of what is rightfully theirs. We're simply trying to answer people's questions and satisfy their curiosity while also staying focused on the overall purpose of the site.
We old people will never really want to eat bugs. But if we raise the next generation on them, they will grow up liking them quiet a lot.

I hate sea bugs, I mean, lobster and prawns, but I know loads of people that love them because they grew up eating them.
Thankfully you were alert! The problem is it works really really well just enough to have people drop their guard a bit which leads to all sorts of bad outcomes. Who knows when a car firmware update kills someone by adding a twitch like this where previously there was none.
> A, the "kicking the ladder" argument. We had a good run in the West over-consuming and producing Co2, and we continue to be at the top (including the Co2 we outsource to our global outsourced factories for our consumption), but others shouldn't.

Developing economies don't have to imitate everything the west did. Solar technology and cheap battery storage can be built from scratch instead of retrofitted.
Facebook also made up view counts on video. What can I say? What evidence do you have the counts are real?
Human drive in fog just fine with pure vision, why can’t AI do the same?

Keep in mind that vision is needed in all cases for lane keeping at the very minimum. So if vision is not able to see in fog, it won’t be able to self drive even radar is working.
5 is a bit too young for a child soldier. Gotta wait until they are 10. 5 is also too young to have kids.

Also, that woman with 6 children has roughly a 50/50 chance of at least one of them dying before age 5.

Why not build houses using concrete/cement? Poor Asian countries have been building houses for decades using concrete and less maintenance. No, it is not about weather. Concrete can be easily used in Southern US states where winter is less than a month or no snow at all. At least the structure can be concrete and the walls be wood or drywall. I think it is the wood mafia trying to make a living out of enforcing city codes to use only lumber for houses.
There is a glut of trees in the U.S., not processed lumber. Not sure how this helps the landowner lobby pushing for this tariff.
Sarcasm, the exact opposite is true.
What is fascinating is how self-reliant Phoenicians were. Take wheat. Then periodically during the voyage stop to saw it and wait for few months to harvest. Then continue.

This was very risky, as they had no idea about climate in new places. But according to what we know was entirely possible along African coast.
JSON mania has given me an appreciation for XML not having been so bad after all.
I'm not saying that FSD was done in 2017. But, How long are you going to hold on to that one? In 2024 when FSD is working really well are you still going to say,

"Yeah I mean it work now, but what about that tweet from 2016"
As someone else mentioned, that's a lockout-tagout procedure. Very common when doing any kind of maintenance on a machine. You isolate the power sources and place a personal lock on it to which only you have the key. It usually has your name and an ID number written on it. The lock cannot be removed by anyone else. If you, for instance, forget to take your lock off and go home, it's a very long process where they have to get someone high enough up the chain to get in contact with you and either get you to come back or confirm that you're safely a long way away from the machine before they can cut the lock off. This makes your management very unhappy and most places that I've worked will write you up for leaving while the equipment is still locked out if maintenance is finished and it's safe to operate.

It's not only electricity that needs to be isolated and locked out. A lot of machines use air pressure to operate moving parts, so in that case you'd have to isolate all electrical sources as well as the air. The machines I usually mess with require 2 locks. Some of the machines I've seen can require 6 or more locks to be fully locked out and safe to work on.
I’m going to guess wealthy donors will just look to private Universities now. Should be interesting to see how fund raising works out for them in the future.
If you compare with attempting to share code between XUL addons and Chrome extensions, you'll notice that things have gotten muuuuuuuuch simpler, though.
The truth requires accepting innate differences in intelligence across races.
You can also go out the Chicago River and down the Mississippi. There is a path called "The Great Loop" which takes you around the entire eastern United States. (well, most people skip New England and Mississippi (the state), but you could include them if you wanted.)

Policy bankrupts large swaths of the logging industry. We create restrictions that substantially increase the cost of harvesting timber on public forest lands ( and add fuel load btw ). This has left major land owners as our primary source of timber ( read monopolistic ). Allow these timber companies to ship our timber overseas to create an intentional artificial shortage ( yes it is documented ).

I know, let's solve this problem by adding tariffs on timber from Canada who openly supports their timber industry.

Alternatively, you could fix the problems at home!

( Might be a little tainted as I grew up when the spotted owl shutdown the living for entire towns in Washington and our fathers had to go to Alaska and Canada for years to make money to send home. )
Correct me if I'm wrong, but not every s-expression language is Turing-complete, you need the ability to define functions which is not a given. This project doesn't have functions (or loops) seemingly on purpose (and their addition would make this weird language just as Turing-complete).
I dunno, for me JSON will always be better than XML due to it just being nicer to read / work with.
We wouldn't have much of an issue of doctors being hush hush if they didn't have to be worried about being sued all the time. If doctors could just do their jobs and not worry, I could see them not caring as much as opposed to when their ass is on the line basically.
> A state run free market like china would actually be really useful for this global problem, if of course climate change was the priority for the government.

Well, it's a little tough to find a source for a televised news segment from 30+ years ago, before the rise of the modern internet, but you're just as free to claim my memory is faulty as I am to state my recollection.
At the risk of the classic "no here's the fizzbuzz code" while then getting it wrong, the typical case you're trying to draw out is like the second but:

Not printing in the middle, return a string and afterwards print it.

Each step adds to the string, and if it's still empty by the end you just put the number in.

The next stages are often to add another number, then something more complex (if it's a prime number). As you do this, the concatenation version grows slowly while the first approach explodes in combinations.

This entire incident sounds like a nightmare. How on earth have they not been sued over it yet?
You and the article author basically agree but you insist that you can just say “hey let’s just get over it, guys!” instead of deconstructing it. But the root of the problem is a fundamental misunderstanding. It doesn’t work to just get over it when you don’t understand what “it” is.
i don't why this is being downvoted. He's abosultely right, if you want to reduce CO2, you need to reduce the number things that cause it: Humans.

The alternative: Asking each human to reduce their C02 output won't get you very, especially since most of our individual output is more influence by govt policy rather than our own actions, for instance: commute distances, etc.

CentOS 3, 4, 5, 6 and now 7 have all fulfilled their mission to be bit-clones of RHEL since 2004. As a CentOS user of every single one of them, they were a success and satisfied the needs of the community for 17 years. The first version of Ubuntu was released 6 months after CentOS 3.

I think you're probably right, and I came to believe this strongly when I heard about the electric F-150 a few days ago. If Ford can make a electric truck that works properly and has all the spare parts availability / 3rd party repairability of a normal truck, then cybertruck seems DOA. Some fanboys might buy it for the memes, but if I intended to buy a truck to actually use as a truck, the choice between these two manufacturers would be clear for me.
My mom read this book to me as a child all the time. 15/20 years later I ran across it some how. I remembered my brain doing some kind of "summer salt jump flip", awakening some hidden part of my brain recognizing those plums, apples, caterpillar, etc. The illustrations are so colorful and distinct.
I think comparison to s-expressions are a red herring. In Lisp, I guess, s-expressions are an integral part of how you code. As a piece of general code, it can be great or terrible. This "JsonLogic" thing is explicitly intended to be "logic-inside-configuration" because (I hope) nobody's writing program with JsonLogic. Unfortunately, logic inside configuration is almost always a bad idea. (It doesn't matter whether you're using json or xml or s-expressions.)
Isn't that what rebase is?
One issue with this is normally this requires a bypass of secure boot option.

So device is not set and forget secure, but you have to physically secure it (not that you wouldn't, but now it can really matter if someone has physical access to the machine).

GPLv3 has been used more recently as a block to others taking code and developing things further given some of the clauses and incompatibilities it introduced.
