> Also I’d bet money ARM has multiple in-house processors for testing/R&D

When I worked at ARM, we just used FPGAs to emulate the chips and waited for the customers to give us a board with the actual chips. Maybe another division did create their own hardware, but everything we worked with for testing in ours was from customers.

> there is a big difference between the generic/basic patents we’ve seen trolls use over and over again (stuff like “an input device causes and output device to do something”)

If it is a generic/basic patent, why should it make a difference whether the enforcer is a practising entity (PE) or not? Unlike a non-practising entity (NPE), a PE would be less inclined to licence it because they want to keep competitors out. ARM is big enough that they can instigate litigation on their own against infringers. Smaller inventors have no chance of doing that, and patent trolls are often their only venue. Many times, the problem is with bogus patents that should never have been granted because of prior art or obviousness (supported by the authorities failing to perform due diligence before granting patents). And the other is the expense of defending against a valid patent that does not apply to the defendant's product. Patent trolls' portfolios are often full of such patents, but this is not limited to NPEs.

> big companies will just straight up copy or buy up any competition

An example that comes to my mind is Nuance, a practising entity that engaged in frivolous patent infringement lawsuits against a new competitor Vlingo. Nuance did turn their patents into products (Dragon NaturallySpeaking), so they are not considered a patent troll under the usual definition. Yet, their actions against Vlingo were the same as that of a troll, and even though Vlingo won, they were weakened enough to be bought out by Nuance.
I mean even if that’s true so-called beta software shouldn’t be on public roads.
OK? You and I can do these things, but we are outliers. For example, 750 minutes of exercise per week is a lot is what I estimated from a study for diminishing return for health. That's 12.5 hours, let alone meeting the weekly minimum requirement.

Most people are busy, they have jobs or families or kids. Yet decades ago, these same people aren't fat.

We all know this. It's why there are 1000 books about tricks and diets and how to fool yourself. Because we want to do that instead. But we can stop enabling that; stop making excuses for small issues about body adjustments and so on.

There's certainly no magic trick, but being dogmatic or smug isn't helpful either.

I completely agree that access to the US market would be extremely convenient for Cuba, but my point, and the reason for the comparison to Australia is to show that the USA is not what has caused Cuba's dismal state.
Pavement holds up a lot better in rain and snow than electronics, and still needs to be replaced every few years. Agreed that it should be a bare minimum expectation to have the roads painted clearly, but there are plenty of roads in eg Chicago where I don’t think there is an official number of lanes, it’s just kind of a free for all. Just going through the whole system and deciding where the boundaries are is a gargantuan task. American railroads haven’t even managed to upgrade their signals for PTC without failures left and right - if riding Amtrak or NYC metro is any indication the cars will have to coast at 5mph whenever there are signal problems.

>That is what happens now with phantom braking.

Uber seemed to have programmed an artificial delay when the system got confused. There's a good breakdown of the timeline showing how the system kept misclassifying the bicyclist who was killed, but I couldn't immediately find it. That breakdown shows their strategy at implementing delays in the decision process. According to the NTSB report[1]:

>"According to Uber, emergency braking maneuvers are
not enabled while the vehicle is under computer control, to reduce the potential for erratic vehicle
behavior"

When I read that in the context of the programmed delays it seems to indicate "we wanted to avoid nuisance braking so we put in a delay when the system was confused." As someone who used to work in safety-critical software, it blows my mind that you would deliberately hobble one of your main risk mitigations because your system gets confused. While TSLA may be focusing on a platform that gets better data with better sensors, they still need to translate it to better decisions.

Emily Wolfe here, I’m the person who wrote this story. As I plan the second story in the series, which will be about new markets related to organic and regenerative, I’m curious to know a couple of things:

-what about this story made you want to discuss it here?

“Full Self-Driving Beta” should be an oxymoron. Why is this being allowed?
If you take an engineered system and apply a non-engineered fix, I'd say it's a hack, even if it works. Did this person do a metallurgical/chemical engineering analysis before changing the material type? OEMs do this on their cooling systems.

No, they used a standard off-the-shelf fitting out of convenience.

Will it work? Probably. Is it a compromise in terms of engineering design and testing? absolutely. Mind you, Tesla owns this car, and they probably would like to keep it in the condition in which they lent it out.
Nice, but please tell how am I supposed to search for bookmarks I made in japanese section of xvideos?

we are just so overwhelmed with information nowadays it’s impossible to keep organizing it, why not let machines just find what we want whenever we need them

Then you don’t need bookmarks. You bookmark for a reason, and one of these is that you may not remember exact wording and use other cues like when you did it, what was around, how it looked like on a thumbnail.
>that they won’t accept a hack fix (however safe it may be) - that car is going to be sold to someone once the lease expires, they just can’t take the risk

But why are you calling it a hack fix? Also, why would a competent third-party repair shop be "risky"? A customer should be free to pick out an experienced and competent repair-shop just the way they currently do for their cars. And if they don't want to, they can take it to the dealership like they would have anyway.

Right to repair is an extra _option_ for the consumer. Manufacturers are taking it away for future guaranteed service income (ala subscription model). In my opinion, it has absolutely nothing to do with "risk".

> that car is going to be sold to someone once the lease expires, they just can’t take the risk

How is the risk different from the existing leased model in any industry?
I am a Girardian newb but Girard even mentions sporting events in the article.

IMO it isn't just sporting events though but violent sporting events that let us exercise the scapegoat mechanism. At least in the US. If your team wins, it doesn't matter your background if you are both fans of the same team. I really can't think of anything that quite brings us together like team sports in the 21st century.

Obviously, if you are not a sports fan this is much harder to see.

Burning man is too obvious, literal and it just isn't that many people vs the whole of society.

I can remember as a little kid the mimetic desire to become my favorite sports stars complete with wearing a jersey with their name on my back as if I was them.

On a side note, it is an absolutely ridiculous situation that Audible has one audio book by Girard. I would love to pass the time driving in the car with a wide selection of Girard to chew on.
Clearly it's not that simple, otherwise we'd have done it already.

I think the government's conclusion is that this is keeping deaths and hospitalisation rates low enough, and that now is a better time for infections to spike than later when winter arrives. School summer holidays are also starting.

They can obviously reinstate restrictions later if needed.
Following his Charmhigh PnP saga was a bit painful so I'm glad that his Neoden has so far not let him down too much. The issues he's had with JLCPCB are interesting cautionary tales I never would know about otherwise (changed gerbers etc.)
> Tesla is trying to reach L4/L5, so just alerting the pilot is not satisfying the design goal.

Neither is ignoring it. If a product can't meet the design goals under certain circumstances should it ignore it, not even look for it, or alert the user that there is a catastrophic failure?

I think it is more common sense than anything else.

>To be truly redundant you have to use different technologies, such as camera and lidar.

This isn't necessarily true. From a reliability engineering perspective it depends on the modes of failure and the probability of each mode. If the probability of an AOA failure is low enough, you can reach your designed risk level by having two identical and redundant components. It all comes down the level of acceptable risk.

Good point on the antifreeze. I think you're overestimating the time though. And the premium between $80/hr generic shop rate and $150/hr "high end mechanic" is exactly what I was trying to highlight.
No kids here, and my wife works most weekdays as well (but out of the house, in a cubicle farm mostly answering calls so well isolated) so the first 2 points aren't a big issue for me.

- No boundaries in terms of when work ends and begins

I really struggled with this throughout last year. By the end of the year, though, I'd set up a home gym (this requires space, I have a basement rec room that was near perfect) and that became my end of day space. At 4:30pm I put on socks and gym shoes and go down there and exercise for 30-90 minutes every day (with spring and summer part of that was moved outside for running). I was no longer finding myself still at my work computer at 6pm, or turning it on at 7pm to see if I'd gotten responses to certain emails from people in other timezones. My day simply ended. It also helped to elevate my mood and reduce my anxiety as I was getting into better health.

It's still hard to do with kids, and again you have to have the space for it. But it can work very well if you can pull it off. Even just getting out for a 30-minute run or walk after work is a nice disruption to help separate the work day from the non-work day (that was my routine when I worked in the office but couldn't stop thinking and stressing about work after the work day officially ended and I went home).
Excellent insight. Thank you.

Since listening to a Lex Fridman podcast on how one hemisphere of the brain is more devoted to language than the other, I've been thinking about just how complex language is. I've never agreed with some linguists like Chomsky that speak about language as necessary for thought, mostly because my own mental language is far more physical and symbolic than linguistic. At one point in my life, for example, I was able to look at construction drawings and point to the weakest part of a structural system. That's not my brain using language. That's something else.

That said, something that just occurred to me after reading your comment is this: Over time we're having to translate this communication thing into different arenas. My fingers have memorized how to type most words. I wouldn't be able to type as fast as I do if they didn't. My eyes and brain have obviously memorized words at a glance. My ears have memorized words in person, which sound different than they do from a computer or television. They've also memorized the sound of words from 0.5x speed to 3x speed because of all the podcasts I listen to.

I guess where I'm going with this is that we're putting larger and larger demands on our brains. The, oh what to call it, increasing dimensionality of communication? That, whatever that is, it feels so mentally taxing and I can't imagine that is ever going away. If anything it will continue to increase as societies and technologies get more complex.
I just don’t see self driving cars taking off for this reason: people want or need to drive even when it’s dangerous to do so.

Self driving cars might well refuse to move in bad conditions (my Prius gets very upset when navigating my overgrown driveway for instance, sometimes slamming on the auto-brake to avoid the plant-pedestrians)

If you're happy with a Pi Zero for your use-case, then there probably isn't anything you'd appreciate about moving to a microcontroller.

One big driver for microcontroller use is power, as you've suggested. A quick look on Google shows that the Pi Zero uses about 100mA at idle, and even its "sleep" mode uses 30 mA. In contrast, the esp32-c3 datasheet lists power consumption at 130 micro-Amps for light sleep and 5 micro-amps for deep sleep. If you want to run something on battery or small solar, you can go a lot farther with a microcontroller using power-efficient sleep.

One other thing that might be relevant to some use-cases is deterministic realtime control. When your program is the only thing running on the processor, with no OS involved, you can have much more reliably control over your timing and latency. This isn't an area I know much about.

OP here. Just to clarify, this piece was not primarily designed for the Apple Store audience. I felt that it was important to exhibit the photos in the store, but I knew that the majority of the folks who heard about it would see it online. In the exhibition at the store, people first saw a photo of themselves, with no knowledge that they were posted to the internet. Online, people saw photos of folks in the store. If you have spent time in a big city like NYC, you might recognize the feelings of anonymity and privacy-in-public that I was drawing on. There are certainly "I'm harming you for your own good" style art installations I've made. For example, I had a piece called "Wifi Whisperer" around 2016 that sniffed all the open wifi traffic in a cafe, and a little speaker in the corner would describe what it sniffed. https://soundcloud.com/kyle-mcdonald/whisper I still think there is a place for non-consensual art to surprise and inform, especially in the physical context of an art exhibition or festival. But I also feel this work tends towards provoking fear and anger over any more helpful reactions. And there's the constant danger that in the process of crossing a boundary of consent, or in breaking a social contract that you might do real, even irreversible harm. So instead with projects like https://facework.app/ I find ways to critique face classification, but in a way that everything happens in-browser. Sometimes it's possible to have the feeling of boundary crossing without the dangers.
LIDAR cost is coming down, but Tesla has almost no margins on cars. So adding a $500 part per car for LIDAR is out of the question. Even the cheap radar parts were removed from production going forward.

However, it's good to see other automakers like Volvo going the LIDAR route on their 2022 electric models and are offering Level3 autonomous driving.
I think our ability to consistently train good CL models will get a lot better if/when we better understand how to disentangle representations.

There's already been great progress, but the better we're able to create meaningful latent spaces, the better we're going to get at CL (maybe that's a self-evident statement :P ).

It really just comes down to math. A lease has a “residual” which is the expected value of the car at lease end. You pay for the difference between the new value and the residual with your lease payment. It’s essentially like buying a car with an installment loan, except you’ve pre-arranged to sell the car after 3 years at a determined price. There’s also a “money factor” which is the implied interest rate you are getting in the lease. It turns out that Tesla leases have a high money factor, which makes them a bad deal.

Tesla lessors pay for depreciation the same way owners do, but the lease is effectively bundled in with a 6% APR loan, which is a lot worse than people with good credit would pay for a new car auto loan.
I think there are two things to embrace:

- Saving more than 500 calories per day is very hard, thus you are likely to only loose 1 lb per week/10 days of body fat.

- You need the will power to stay on course and fight off the hunger sensation. This is the hardest of any diet.

I don't believe that people can change their diet mix / macro nutrient split because there isn't enough choice to change your diet fundamentally without becoming bored quickly or being unhealthy or eco-unfriendly (for instance eating more meat).
Yep I had a plastic barb break off my coolant reservoir tank. I reamed it out with a twist drill, used epoxy to glue in a new barb I got at the hardware store, and it's been good since then (over 2 years now).
I agree with you that one can very often get distraced by single events, however knowing that you are frontend/backend bound isn't all that more helpful either.

For frontend you can guess that PGO, BOLT, huge tables might probably help but it's still a blind guess without knowing what to look at next.

Intel's TMA is the only helpful thing here really. Bit sad that AMD and ARM don't provide a way to calculate something TMA-like themselves.
