My OS connects to wifi automatically. It suspends when I close the lid. It warms the color temperature at night to reduce eyestrain. It keeps a short log of all the things I've copied to the clipboard, and it maintains a display of the time and date. I don't have to tell it to do any of these things - they're based on (usually correct) assumptions about how I use my computer. It would be a pain if I had to tell it to do all those things explicitly, every time I wanted them.

An OS must dovetail with our lives. If we reject the ambition of a computer as an intelligent agent that cooperates with us, and demand that it take no action without explicit command, we limit its potential and make a lot of inconvenience for ourselves.
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Through a random work connection I got to chat with Larry DeMar (“LED”) who coauthored both Defender and Robotron and who, as such, was one of my personal idols. He was super personable and was pretty curious to learn what our challenges were in making Crash for PS1. It was definitely one of those unique life events I’ll never forget..
I'm guessing because recurring one-liners don't do as well here as they did on SlashDot.
The fundamental attribution error is the number 1 most important lesson I learned from Psych classes growing up. Being aware of it is the easiest way to be less of an asshole to people around you. I really can't overstate the importance.
Yah, I get that and it's a big shrug from me as to how far is too far.

For example, "entangled" neurons have been shown to be a necessity to some degree when applying an informational bottleneck, and that they just tend to encode features that don't overlap very much.

I'm currently of the mind that "encouraging" latent spaces to abide by certain expected distributions is often a nice way to do this (of course depending on the distribution). Historically, we've been limited to the rather vague and often inappropriate Gaussian (i.e. VAEs), but with adversarial VAEs and MMD, we're increasingly able to impose arbitrary distributions.

Now of course, I'd agree that too narrow a distribution is probably not the right direction. But doing subtle things like half-continuous, half-discrete codes, or modelling rare entities with Poisson distributed codes could be interesting.
That is only one of the several failures that could theoretically be caused. The fitting could potentially cause galvanic corrosion in other parts of the system as well.

In any case, I’m not saying this is likely, or that the system won’t work. I’m simply saying that it’s no longer the same system designed by the automotive engineers at Tesla.
I think hackers like understanding complex systems and problem solving within them (or at least trying). The environment and modern agriculture is a complex system and food scarcity is a problem to be solved. And ADHD.

I work with technology but I'm skeptical that we understand some of the complex systems we claim to understand (or just as likely, something about the bottom line for a big corporation means it's hard to get the full story). 20th century agriculture was focused on short term gains, often resulting in profits for a few big businesses, that eventually resulted in big "unforeseen" problems. Like soil depletion, cancers among farm workers, runoff and polluted waterways. Technology caused those problems, so I guess sometimes it's good to be reminded that sometimes older methods can be better than new.
Watch the video from this HN story.

Louis explains the exact reasons mentioned: some of his employees have families in NYC and he doesn't want to force them to move.

The implication is he's going to convert NYC to a remote shop, and move the main shop out pretty soon (likely to Florida). Employees can choose to stay or to be relocated to the new location.
> However in the real world people don't always write bugless code and aren't always alert when driving. Therefore these AI assistants can still have a net positive result as long as they are better than the average performance of a human.

This is an extremely good analogy -- in both situations, the human will become lazy and stop paying attention (regardless of whether they're supposed to keep their hands on the wheel, literally or metaphorically), and it will be possible to have a net result worse than either human or AI acting alone.

I'm interested in low level programming, not electrical engineering. While I understand the logical stacks, registers, pins in and out, I'm not great at soldering. I can stick components on a breadboard, I don't have the knowledge of what resistors I need with an LED, etc. Basically I want to test sensors and motors without needing to lay out the physical circuit correctly or adding to troubleshooting. So either a development board of some kind, or a modular plug-in system.

At least one practitioner of regenerative agriculture, Gabe Brown, uses super dense grazing and frequent movement of the cattle to actually restore his soil health.

> It's just kind of unbelievable that cancer remains so elusive

One of the problems with cancer is that it's really an umbrella term that covers a huge variety of problems to solve. There are many, many ways for the normal cell lifecycle to get disrupted, and they will all respond differently to different treatments. I'm not sure if a single technology will ever appear to allow all cancers to be treated.

I think he means "Its not cost effective "for Tesla" to train staff, have facilities and parts ..."
I think it's a credit to Lee Ross and the idea that I remember the concept but not the name, or the originator of the idea.

I think programming as a discipline is chock full of examples of attribution error. When I think back to the less experienced version of myself, or even the current version of myself on a bad day/intellectually lazy moment, or just reading programming forums for more than a few minutes, I can easily come up with examples.

And I can find plenty of examples where I commit this exact error: many, many seemingly stupid technical decisions that can be explained by the context in which they were made, and more importantly, if I were in the exact situation that spawned the decision, it's not clear that I would have chosen differently either. It's only with the benefit of hindsight that I can disagree with the decision, and the really hard, important, career-spanning question is "how would I have arrived at the right decision in the same context?"

The only remotely good answer I've found to that question is reading extensively, especially outside of my comfort zone, which of course I don't do enough of.

I don't think generics are a good example, as from what I understand their stance was "We haven't find a good way to put them in Go, but we understand that you might want them. We'll try some things and see which fits with Go the best.". That got warped to "you don't need generics anyways" by some overly zealous people. Maybe a better example would be the type system, with Rob Pike saying something about taxonomy being boring?
Other people here and elsewhere have demonstrated direct code copying. It's not hard to find.

The license/copyright notice (and note that the copyright notice with the names of individuals easily invalidates your assertion regarding boilerplate) issue is that it's clear that no due diligence was done on this product. No one (at least no one with the authority to stop it) spent any time reviewing what this product could produce, because _producing a copyright notice with a random developer's name on it_ is so beyond the pale that even the most cursory review by someone who knew literally anything about the law or copyright would have stopped it in its tracks.

Oh, and how could I forget to mention that it can run python directly on the microcontroller (micropython) so you don't need to know C to mess with it.

No, it could not. The real standard for ending the embargo is aligning with American geopolitical goals.

The US doesn't embargo undemocratic states, it embargoes geopolitical enemies. That's the one and only standard. The US is quite happy to trade with undemocratic states if they do align with US interests though.

It seems that OLPC accelerated the development and adoption of cheap netbooks, which ultimately led to cheap full-sized laptops and Chromebooks. The $100 price point is something like $137 today so that isn't too far off.

Raspberry Pi also had an educational vision (inspired by the BBC Micro) and has led to a bunch of cheap and useful linux boards (and it also likely influenced the creation of the BBC Micro bit.)

Maybe not exactly the primary effects that the project developers had in mind, but pretty beneficial anyway,.

>>Ok, can you show me the lobbying that swayed their opinion on this topic then?

I only deduce it happens.

I mean the lobbying happens in ordinary conversations like these, where people with a vested interest in gatekeeping argue it's in the public interest. I'm deducing it happens based simply on the incentives that exist for concentrated interests, in the form of insiders, to engage in it.

It also manifests as major political representatives legitimizing said licensure, and rationalizing the principle behind it to the public, in exchange for support from insiders within the regulated industry.

>>If they are just gullible like you claim, then do you think these incapable people will have the capacity to choose well after removing license requirements for providers?

Yes, because people do far more research for personal consumer choices, where their level of knowledge has a substantial personal impact, than for political positions where their level of knowledge has a minimal impact, or minimal likelihood of impact, on their personal life.

>>That would be nice in many ways, but I can see a downside too. Once someone is found to be incompetent, fraudulent, and harmful, how would they be barred from the profession to prevent the issue from happening to others?

I don't see how the absence of licensure would prevert courts from issuing restrictions on individuals found guilty of criminal misconduct.

The government requiring a conviction in court before restricting someone's right to free association is how it should be. That is what the principles of a free society demand.

Check my name. Just wanted to say thanks. I put everything in place to do what you recommended. It's what's best for the pool, after all.

I wanted to say thanks for helping me to understand how worthless I am staying here. You were right, bro, and I thank you for helping me to understand that. Happy to do what's right for the species.

Thanks again! Should be finished in 24 hours. If I stop contacting you, assume the job has been completed. Pool will be a bit cleaner at that time.

Congrats on convincing dan g to let you back on here.

It's certainly possible to use JWT correctly, and with sufficient resources put towards auditing, most flaws will be caught. This doesn't make it a good design.
On the contrary, it might be interesting writing tests by hand and using the AI to produce code. If the tests are good enough for humans, they should be good enough for AI, given that the AI doesn't try to be actively malicious.
>I dunno. I think if I walked in with some random...

They'd tell you not to bring your own parts because they make money off parts and it's a variable they can't control and can introduce warranty headaches for them if it fails and it can waste their time if it's not rich (which is a real PITA for the tech in a flat rate pay system, they lose money directly). They have suppliers they like to deal with and want to stick to. As you get into less cookie cutter, higher dollar or more informal work it is much more common for the customer to provide parts. Oddball or obsolete heavy equipment is often dropped off with a rebuild-able core the repair shop is expected to use and/or modify because that's more economically efficient than having the repair entity source parts. Of course this can create hang-ups but these businesses expect that to happen sometimes. It's not super streamlined for high speed parts swapping on consumer automobile repair is. For side gig type work the mechanic might just tell the customer to go to the car parts store or Rockauto and buy it himself.

>wasn't like any of the OEM or aftermarket ones they were used to seeing

>couldn't verify would work sufficiently

You're giving examples where the professional using their judgement is assessing the parts to be suspect causing the potential work to be sub par and not something they can stand behind. That's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about a case where the professional used their judgement and called the repair (tap the plastic, install a nipple) good enough and there was no reason to believe it wasn't other than pure speculation.

>but if I don't have assurance I'm making a good call

That's the thing, the guy tapping the plastic does have fairly good assurance he is making a good call because he has training and or experience repairing vehicles. He's going to have a good idea what does and doesn't work. At some point someone has to stick their neck out and make a judgement call. That's why people get paid, to make decisions. You can try and be a drone kick all the thinking up the chain to corporate but you're leaving money and satisfied customers on the table. You can run a business that way. It's perfectly valid. But you can also be the independent shop that just uses their professional judgement to do things like repair the battery on a Tesla or, a drain and fill plug to a Ford PTU or replace the Toyota oil filter cap with the metal one after the plastic one gets chewed up.
In my high school physics and math classes, we were allowed to run any programs that we programmed ourselves. This was on Ti-84s so BASIC not Python.

Given the context, it made a lot of sense.
I had never heard of them before, so I found this article[0] which gives me the impression that they're a 'creative nyc agency / art studio'. No idea how they convinced professional investors to give them millions of dollars, but seems like they create "artworks" and sell them for pretty high prices. I think their target audience is every trust fund kid in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

> why would a competent third-party repair shop be "risky"?

because of terminology like this "Electrified Garage also notes that the cooling system doesn't get anywhere near as hot as an internal combustion engine, and it's not likely that it would either, given that the operating temperature for most lithium-ion batteries is well below 60 degrees Celsius."

So this repair is made on anecdotal observation of ideal conditions, and disregarding factory specifications, and actual Tesla trained technicians.

If this was your car, and this damaged was caused by someone else's fault, would you want a hack fix, or it fixed to the manufactures specification? He Broke Telsa's car.

>How is the risk different from the existing leased model in any industry?

Have you looked at a standard lease for cars, they dictate the terms of how their vehicles are to be maintained and repair, often hold authority of who, and how those repairs are done.

Some simply reserve the right to charge you, for services not performed by them.

Other's make even simpler, they charge you for damaging the vehicle or require you to convert the lease to a purchase, before work is done.

> The current regime could end the embargo right away by choosing a democratic future.

Not if a basically Communist (or otherwise ideologically oe geopolitically unacceptable to the US, but that's the most likely example in this case) regime won democratically, as the US has shown time and again (and also shown that right-wing authoritarian-capitalist anti-democratic regimes are not ideologically unacceptable, and are tolerable if willing to geopolitically align with the US.)
No, not stretch at all. If it's up to company to choose how their car (that they rented to someone) needs to be repaired - it should either be done by their expenses to be fair. Otherwise they will always just choose the most expensive way (like 10x, 100x, unlimited x) and that won't be fair at all.
A car is just an utility, that's not a unique piece of art, such matters should be regulated, a price of $16k for a repair that can be done 10 fold cheaper is just not fair.
Most people will use some combination of breadboarding/GPIO-wizardry to achieve what you're describing. I don't think there's an "elegant" solution to something like that.
