Have you seen the Boston Dynanics videos? If Tesla can do even minor improvement, say with how they do the joints or packaging it better - deciding different constraints to use as guidelines - then it doesn't seem too far fetched; price point will be another factor.
Someone linked me to nitter.net yesterday which is an open source implementation of the same Twitter UI but manages to be a delight to use, with none of the bloated dark pattern garbage that the official site has become.
"If you don't like it, maybe capitalism isn't for you."

I'm kinda on the fence, but you're making a good case against it.
> However, that confusing image would almost certainly not also fool Apple's unspecified secondary server-side hashing algorithm, as referenced on page 13 of Apple's Security Threat Model Review...

Uh, on what timescale? If you mean "tomorrow" then sure, if you mean "for years" - then no. They're relying on the second perceptual hashing algorithm to remain a secret, which is insanely foolish. Just based on what I know about these CP hashlists and the laziness of programmers, I feel pretty confident that it is either an algorithm trained on the thumbnails themselves (which would be laughably bad) or it was a prior attempt that got replaced by what is now deployed on the users' hardware. Why would I think that? Because it would have been the only other thing on hand for the necessary step of generating the hash black list. So they're stuck with at least one of those forever - and will have a very limited range of potential responses to the massive infosec spotlight picking them apart... unless they want to recatalog every bit of CP all over again.
You can add smartphones to that list: vastly more durable than the first generation, with shatter-proof glass, water-resistance, etc.

And you can also add laser eye and cosmetic surgery: have advanced by leaps and bounds in terms of safety and quality, while actually becoming less costly for the consumer.
Wonder when we hit the point where we're just workers 24/7 and our Alexa/Siri devices are spying on what we say constantly and scoring it against a neural net which computes a terrorism risk score, with employees getting an extra unionization score which is sent to a special internal team to handle.
The alternative is manually hooking up a bunch of views that update by subscribing to some event bus, which quickly becomes unmanageable. I don't want to learn about all the custom events in the system to know how things update. And god help you if you have cascading/recursive events.

Your mental model for updates can be shared across all apps that use React and it's a huge blessing for getting up and running with an unfamiliar codebase.
You’re not allowed to delete things during discovery. This is not an Apple thing, this is U.S. court system thing.
Mice/rats are a decent model, you just have to know how to extrapolate:

- toxicity - rats are actually pretty good once you correct for metabolism (divide LD50 by 6). Humans and rats consume lots of xenobiotics due to our versatile diets

- neuroscience, anything below the prefrontal cortex is pretty well conserved between rats and primates

- cancer - kinda garbage. Mice and rats get cancer at the drop of a hat. But if it doesn't give rats cancer, that's a really good indicator of safety

- exercise - generally extrapolates pretty well

The worst is probably things like higher neuroscience, Alzheimers, and diet. Mice in particular are more vulnerable to high fat and high sugar diets than humans. It's fairly easy to induce diabetes in mice, but again, useful in that it increases sensitivity. But also means anti-diabetes drugs may have exaggerated effects.

It’s not infrequent I’ll leave YouTube videos playing while I work on my actual work machine so I don’t think they need to do that much sleuth work if they want to accuse me of using YouTube on the clock.
A shocking indignity. Not only must we be relentlessly subjected to Corporate Memphis, soon we must embody it.
It's a fair criticism that Elon Musk would probably agree with.

He attempts extraordinarily ambitious things that very few other people would even dream of attempting. Sometimes things take longer and/or perform worse than he hoped they would. Sometimes he succeeds beyond anyone's expectations. In any case, he keeps trying to push the world forward, and that's the highest calling of any engineer in my book.

I still can't book a 25 minute SpaceX Earth to Earth flight from LA to NY but I wouldn't be surprised if I could in 10 or 15 years.

We're doing a very similar thing.

From a market dominance perspective this is brilliant. Before now Tesla could only sell FSD that doesn't work to Tesla owners. Now they can sell FSD that doesn't work to people with any kind of car.
I can think of so many people who are radically more accomplished in vastly more interesting and important ways, it feels absurd to start listing because of how many I'd be leaving out by doing so.
Musk seems to have fallen for the idea that since he's had great success in one or two areas, he can easily repeat that success in other areas, even if the difficulty is much higher and entirely different skills are required.

SpaceX and Tesla are great achievements, but they are primarily stories of successfully implementing and improving existing technologies with innovative engineering and business practices (like iterative design for rockets), to capture markets that were ripe for disruption because they were controlled by a few large players who had no real incentive to improve.

Problems like level 5 self-driving and humanoid robots, in contrast, are different. We don't see these things because they are hard problems that require basic technological breakthroughs that may not yet exist. Self-driving is one of those things that's relatively easy to get 95% of the way to, but that last 5% is nearly impossible. And useful humanoid robots are probably a generation or two away from being possible; there are just all sorts of fundamental issues like energy storage, object manipulation, locomotion, etc, that are all so far beyond the current state-of-the-art that they're almost science fiction.

I don't see this happening in any useful form in the next 5-10 years.

The thing is, that this can work alongside humans. say you have 5 people bricklaying and one of those is this humanoid robot. its not a dramatic change from whats currently possible. They are a drop-in replacement.

Think of it as a stepping stone. Like automated cars, Fully automated highways are a ways off where traffic lights are no longer needed, however automated cars that work alongside the rest of the roads are feasible in the near future.

Yes there are better tools, its just a stepping stone to allow change. to force change.
In addition to overall fructose levels, its suggested that the ratio between glucose and fructose levels may be important for determining the changes to the nutrient absorption pattern.

Figure 1 of the linked article illustrates a model by the study authors concerning the effects of glucose vs fructose on gut morphology and nutrient absorption pattern. As described in the caption, fructose up-regulates (ie stimulates) a biochemical pathway that leads to changes in the gut which cause increased nutrient absorption and lipid (ie fat) synthesis, but glucose down-regulates that same pathway.

Put simply, fructose and glucose compete antagonistically to either promote higher nutrient absorption or lower it, respectively. One pushes the lever, the other pulls it, and the ratio will determine who wins. The linked summary article does not, however, state what the relationship between ratio and degree of effect is.
hmm kinda there can be more randomness and chaos in driving. Depends on the initial application for the Tesla bot

They were supposed to do coast to coast self driving years ago according to these hype videos

Hard to take them seriously given how much hype they generate each year.
I'm beating a dead horse here, but I want to repeat myself: you don't have to use the AfC process at all. You can just create a new Wikipedia article directly, without any admin review. You go through AfC because you choose to do so, not because Wikipedia has a whole complicated flowchart that gates which new articles can be created.

Before Donna Strickland was awarded her Nobel, nobody opted to do this. So the real critique here isn't that Wikipedia admins are hostile to women scientists (though, for all I know, they may be), but rather that Wikipedia volunteers don't generate articles for them spontaneously. That's a problem, but it's a different kind of problem.
I agree with most of this, but I'm curious about the specific case of Github. If I join a company, are there any big dangers to just having them add my personal GH account to their organizations or private repos, and then if I leave the company they can remove me again? This seems to be how a lot of developers in my orbit do things.

(I mean any dangers at the account/permissions/privacy level - separate from "having two separate accounts might be better for work/life balance" sorts of concerns.)

Is this really a common thing people do? Take nude photos and leave them in the phone? No matter work or personal phone. I am wondering how many percent of people do this?
Fear. There's obviously a substantial power imbalance when you're talking about a typical Apple employee on one side of the bargaining table and Apple Inc., a company known for having its own Kempetai force, on the other side.

The only rational reply to Apple's policy is "Hell, no. Get bent." But if all you've ever wanted in life is to work for Apple, are you going to rock this particular boat?
Wow! I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that, even though I use aliases all the time for SSH. Seems my brain got stuck on the domain part. ^_^
It amazes me that people take photos of themselves naked. They will be leaked eventually.
Or, you know, multiple profiles in Firefox which has existed even longer. I use both.
I love the meme where stans come to Elon Musks' defense no matter how vanilla the criticism is.
There is a saga going on here between Apple’s HR and a Sr. Manager [1]. I recommend the rabbit hole.

The back and forth between the two parties is enough to give you a headache.

I wouldn't say that dishwasher is _better_ at washing dishes than a human. More quantity? Sure. More quality? Not based on my experience. Lots of stains just don't come out in a dishwasher.
I believe it may be the case that you have to edit under a registered account (that is, not anonymously with an IP address) to directly create new articles --- it's an anti-abuse mechanism.
Nix doesn't have incremental builds. It's kinda all or nothing at the package level.

This explains clearly why you'd want to combine both:

No, it’s not beside the point at all. It disproves your statement for any real language.
The good news is that he can personally fund 100 ridiculous projects with $100,000,000 each and it would barely make a dent in his net worth.
> To me, the ability to automate the use of a tool is a massive force multiplier which the cli is built for. To other people, the ease of use of a gui is preferable to googling for cli syntax or reading man pages.

RStudio is an IDE and IPython is basically a fancy REPL, they're not GUI tools at all.
Ok, that's probably true. Still works as a read receipt though.
I’ve never seen that happen. Though tbh I mostly use them for MS. So I don’t have a ton of experience with actually buying stuff with them.
Yeah, this is simply false.

Apple doesn’t expect you to use a personal iCloud account, and is very clear about warning you about sharing /storing personal data on work systems.

I have very little sympathy for someone that used a personal account containing nudes on a work device.

That was a work-inappropriate choice with entirely predictable results.
I am surprised to hear people dont have two phones with them. One of the target market I thought iPhone Mini would excel was work phone.

> Apple has tried to mitigate this by requiring two countries to agree to add a file to the list, but the process for this seems opaque and ripe for abuse.

They mean Russia and Belarus would need to agree to add a file to the list? Yeah, this is a very hard barrier to overcome! /s
I think you understand why people might think extending FSD to robots is a bit...loaded...considering Musk has been promising and selling FSD to consumers for years. Remember 1 million robotaxis?

There's a much higher chance there's a consumer fraud case on FSD than ten of these robots are ever sold
Well, one purpose of defragging a drive was to put data from the same file in one place in order to reduce random seeks while reading sequential data. One would defrag in order to increase performance in this regard.

On an SSD, the random seek time is much lower. There may be some gains from sequential reads, but the gains from having data physically defragmented are not as stated as with spinning media.
This has been refuted and is simply misleading: https://twitter.com/jon_bottarini/status/1428569700859056129
Personal devices could certainly be a part of discovery.
That will be about the same time that the train line connecting Denver to Boulder will be finished. Started in 2003, connecting 25 miles or so.
It's very common. In my experience when I was dating probably 30-40% of women did.

I think the risk tradeoffs are worth while. I keep my 2FA token generator on my phone, and the inconvenience of losing that is massive.
what we also see from boston dynamics is that this kind of tech takes decades to develop. It is an immensely difficult problem that Elon seems to think is easy and doable in a year.

I see it like computers. First there were special-purpose machines, which evolved into programmable general purpose computers. Probably many people said that there can't be so many computing tasks that programmability is needed. I think we'll find out how these will be used.
The post you responded to already addressed that exact point.

>And yes, it's true that the governments could always mandate such scanning before. The difference is that it'll be much harder politically for Apple to push back against tweaks to the scheme (such as lowering the bar for manual review / notification of authorities) if they already have it rolled out successfully and publicly argued that it's acceptable in principle, as opposed to pushing back against any kind of scanning at all.

>Once you establish that something is okay in principle, the specifics can be haggled over. I mean, just imagine this conversation in a Congressional hearing:
I don't think all robots need to be 1:1 replicas of humans but you might be underselling versatility. One robot for every specific task might be a good idea in some places where as in others it might be better to have robots capable of performing several types of tasks giving you the freedom to assign them to different roles as needed. It cuts down on the number of robots (and back up robots) you need to keep available.

A more human form would allow for that versatility and allow for easier interaction with the world and the items within it which we've built with accommodation of our own bodies in mind.

I am generally a fan of the 'do one thing and do it well' type of philosophy though and ideally we'll have a mix of specialized machines and general purpose ones.

The first tweet is sensationalist. If it was for a legal subpoena for discovery then their hands are tied, they have to deliver everything and cannot be seen to have deleted anything. It just is what it is and that is how the courts work. For the second one claiming apple requires you to use a personal account it sure just sounds like most people at apple have no idea how to properly provision a corp. account and just tell you to use a personal one as its easier. One of those things when you onboard where they tell you its not supposed to work like this but we will just do this to get you up and running and fix it later. Most of the time there is no later. I would not be surprised if many people in the heat of the moment and with a new job just say screw it, I'll fix it later. Again there is generally no later. That is on them as well as on apple.
It blows my mind how many healthcare providers routinely transfer sensitive information over insecure channels like email in the first place and ask the patients or carers involved to do the same. The most basic data protection regulations enshrined in law in my country are being openly violated, to say nothing of medical ethics and patient confidentiality.
You have to see how tenuous this is, right?
You know more than you realize, and your brain does more than you know

It’s been said that AI is surprisingly hard because a lot that’s happening is unconscious, and once you fall into the rabbit hole of chasing it AI becomes a perpetual “5 years away” goal
I don’t get it. Why would you sign in with any personal information on a work device? Just create a free account and use it for work. I have zero sympathy for people who use personal accounts on work devices : just because they let you take it home doesn’t mean it’s not 100% work territory.

This sounds less like bad corporate policy and more like naive employees who didn’t think through the importance of separating work and personal devices.
I had a co-worker that signed up with everything with his work email.
Actually he did all his internet stuff from work (didn't have home access oddly) After some badgering from us he got his own email. when he was hit in the second round of layoffs this helped him a lot.. Even if he was initially schlepping to library to get his email..
It is interesting that many of the top comments are as dismissive as: “No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame,”

When you look at Tesla’s talent in: AI + motors + batteries + manufacturing I can’t believe how negative and dismissive the comments are. Can we not have some appreciation for what Tesla HAS achieved vs only focusing on missed ship dates?

The part that I think is going over peoples head is that for so many jobs a robot can be as error prone as FSD is currently today and still be safe to replace a human. You wouldn’t want the robot to control a fork lift but it could replace many jobs in a factory with out creating major risk.

The flaw with full self driving right now is not that it doesn’t work sometimes. Rather it needs to work 99.999999% of the time. This isn’t true for many 5 mile an hour jobs. If they can get the robot to complete a job correctly 99% of the time, at the right price that robot will be printing money for the company that owns it.
They do not do ask employees to do that.

Some people choose to use personal accounts on their work devices; Apple warns about the possible consequences of doing so.

It’s their own (bad) decision.
I don't know the percent, but it wouldn't surprise me if the answer were "almost all."
…probably?
I was suicidal at 14 and most of my life has been a mental nightmare. I understand completely where you are at.

What I found out from literally trying many suggestions from people on how to make my life better was that some of them worked.

You have to do something because as you have stated, no one is going to do it for you.

Take a leap of faith and ask everyone tou meet what they think you should do and actually fucking try it.

You are going to be amazed one day if you do.
No. Having a separate GitHub is just a pain. GitHub provides adequate separation itself (you can add multiple emails and configure notifications accordingly)

GitHub actually manages attaching business org to personal accounts very well.

You can make notification emails related to the business org repos go to your work email, while all other notification emails go to your personal email.

When you fork a business org private repo into your account, it stays attached to the business org. Other members of the org can push to your fork of that repo but not your other personal or open-source repos. When your account is separated from the org, you lose access to your fork.

If the business org requires extra SAML/OIDC through their central auth service, you can still access your personal and public repos without doing it.

So yeah the business still has to remember to disconnect you from the org when you leave the company, but that's still true if you make a new github account anyway?
I checked the parent tweet but still don't understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate?
Nope. I rechecked the PNG specification, and it explicitly states that the high bits must be zero:

There has been more churn than usual during+following the .NET Framework -> .NET Core migration. Some of it was necessary due to the migration, some of it is making up for lost time after being tied to Windows (and very constrained in their ability to make changes) for so long.

I understand your pain but I think most of the recent changes are necessary for the long-term health of the ecosystem, and I would not expect the breakneck pace of the last 5 years to continue forever.
name one then. I'm genuinely curious
$100M will also barely make a dent in the creation of a real autonomous humanoid robot. Even $100B might not be enough. That's how hard of a problem this is.
For young people (<30) yes. Pretty much everyone. It is normalized because people our age grew up with phones, though I still think its a bad idea.
