I wish people would apply this logic to things like olive oil where a tablespoon contains about 20 pressed olives and about 120 calories. It's one of the easiest way to eat hundreds of extra calories more than you should and lots of recipes suggest using a lot of it for frying and dressings.

I think the common encouragement of "but you need fat, it's healthy fat and it's part of the Mediterranean Diet!" is a weird dietary blindspot when the goal is calorie reduction and fat deficiencies aren't the problem. It feel like it's only quite recently that fruit juices are being discouraged and that was a blindspot too.

I don't advocate that there's some magic to a "whole food" diet except that not eating pressed, blended etc. stuff is a decent rule of thumb to slowing down much you can eat in one sitting.
Animals tend to use a combination of four tools to detect distance. Stereo vision, parallax, focus detection and scene context. Independent movement is not required for any of these (though it can help generate parallax.) Humans (and other animals) can learn to do pretty well with one eye and no head movement given the appropriate training regime.

It makes the software problem harder but it certainly is possible.
The problem has never been payment providers' morality. Porn payments come with significantly higher chargeback rates than traditional payments. If someone can find a way to stop red-handed husbands from claiming credit card theft when the wife checks the bill, there's a market opportunity.

What do you consider bullshit about Tesla's use of AI?
First time hearing about Tesla Bot.

From the article:

> Develop the next generation of automation, including a general purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot capable of performing tasks that are unsafe, repetitive or boring. We’re seeking technical, electrical, controls and software engineers to help us leverage our AI expertise beyond our vehicle fleet.
This is a perfect opportunity for 1 credit card company to step in / step up and differentiate themselves from the rest.

I’m surprised that I hadn’t heard of Star, Pulse, and Coop before. Probably has something to do with the Durbin Amendment.
Desire != market desire.

At the price it would be to make and operate a transit system without taxes or eminent domain or enforced monopolies, or land value increase kickbacks, almost none of the people that need it would find it a compelling value proposition. And then as a result low ridership would lead to even higher per person price, which makes it even less feasible.

It's just not possible for the private sector to make a good transit system without most of the heavy lifting coming from the public sector. Public transit has to exist outside the market.

For example even in m city with a really efficient system, even with all of the infrastructure already built using government powers and mostly paid off, even if the price increase did not increase ridership, I would have to pay ~3x more for transit, which would make it unaffordable.

My complain is aesthetics, like I said. You can get the arrow key functionality but only with the huge not-consistent-aspect-ratio thumbnails. In the "classic" view w/ icons the arrows don't work, whereas they do on Windows 7.

In the end I'm just complaining because I don't really like change. When I was a kid and computers / OS's were fun and novel toys it was great to have new UI to play with. Now the computer is a tool and a means to and end and I just want the damned thing to work and look the same way consistently. Computers have really lost their charm and fun for me.
Adding more rotating parts is exactly what you are trying to avoid. For example, go look at how Tesla designed the heating and cooling system. The integrated all the different streams of hot and cold in one system duplicate these parts that can break easily.

In some cases it can simply not be avoided of course but you better make sure that you really need it if you are gone add it to millions of cars.

> cruise and waymo and co have multiple units per vehicle and collectively hundreds of thousands of vehicles

Waymo has vehicle count of a few 1000s as far as I know. I don't know about cruise but I don't think the have even 100k vehicles. Please show me a source.

And even if that were the case, the build those fleets of quite a long time and the cost per vehicle they currently have is nowhere near close to what would be possible for a car like the Model 3 or future cheaper models.

Margins in car industry are incredibly tight, car companies invest gigantic amount of capital to remove a few $ per car. These vehicles need to be able to be produced at a run rate of millions per year. If you are proposing to add something that cost 100-1000$ that is a absolute killer.

In addition its an additional part that can hold up your production. This current chip shortage is a perfect example where having a Lidar would just introduce a whole host of new chips that might be in a shortage.

Kubernetes implements load balancing via iptables probability rules. It creates "magic" static IPs on all kube nodes for ClusterIP services and makes iptables randomly select backend pods, making for a highly efficient zero-userspace load balancer. That gets less efficient with more rules due to the linearity of iptables. It also has an alternative implementation using ipvs, which is theoretically more efficient but has faced a number of issues over the years.

Kubernetes also has network security policy features for firewalling, that piece is implemented by plugins which do whatever they want though.

At this time, kubernetes requires you to be using iptables instead of nftables for all of this, so it will be interesting to see it running on iptables-free servers in the future.

PH got in trouble due to a NYT hit piece and is usual this is usually more of a corporate maneuver than an actual article done in the name of the public interest. See Pewdiepie who got one just about when he got a deal with Disney; surely pure coincidence.

The fact is, MindGeek, who operates PH and the others, is the reason all the corporate porn studios stopped making profits. When was the last time you saw a full length > 90 minutes porn movie produced after ~2010? This used to be a huge industry just as big than Hollywood.

A few days later low and behold the first thing MindGeek does is to stop people from downloading videos and only accept payments for studio made videos.

"Think of the children" is a meme at this point and should raise eyebrows whenever it is raised up as an argument.
This would be a serious breach of privacy if true. But reading the tweets I'm not sure what the policy really is:

> During a discovery thing 3yr ago, legal forced me to hand-over all my texts. They refused to let me delete anything, even "fully personal," even when I said "by fully personal I mean nudes." They said they're in their "permanent evidence locker

This doesn't sound like company policy, and more like they were subpoenaed or otherwise compelled to hand over communications.

> Another interesting Apple tidbit: the company tells employees to link their personal iCloud accounts if they need to collab with colleagues when they start. When they leave, they're asked to hand over their laptops w/o wiping them and give managers access to work systems.

I'm not sure how to parse this. Do you need to link your personal accounts with family photos and whatnot? Or can you just create a separate iCloud account just for work, to collaborate with coworkers?

I'm a firm believer in separating work and personal accounts. I usually try not to even log into email from my work computer if I don't need to, and I always use a spare phone for work if a company requires admin access or remote management tools of any kind. That said, reading these tweets I'm not really sure if Apple is asking employees to breach this separation. I'd just create a separate Apple ID for work and use that for the "personal" account that I'm supposed to merge. That's a separation I'm still comfortable with.
Well either that, or never use Google again. You could also start using ad blockers and such things to avoid those web pages.

I've played rhythm action games for decades (since circa 1999). While "grinding" has been generally increasing for years, in my experience their "grinding" had been mostly for time spent, not money spent. I think game companies are well aware that their grinding scheme is not as cost effective but can't make it more aggresive due to the dwindling arcade gamer population.

Here is a counter point, do startup if you think you cannot handle kids.

I have two under 3 years old kids. Working from home during pandemic, helping my wife and managing two kids brought me to the edge of my sanity. The worst thing is tantrums, high pitched screams would leave me physically exhausted within a few minutes. I started to drink more often.

I didn't think I could continue to work from home with kids in the house. I was ready to quit and figured it won't look so bad to have a gap on your resume during pandemic. But then instead I got second part-time job as a junior developer.

This gave me real excuse to avoid managing kids during work hours, and then later night. I spend 5-8pm with my kids and I have more energy and it is much higher quality time with them. After putting them to sleep and watching some TV with wife, I go back to work. I wake up more refreshed than when I was going to bed early. Pure coding is almost meditative for me, so maybe that's why I feel more rested.

Also extra money allowed us to hire babysitter who can assist my wife during the day and we still have extra money after babysitter's expenses. We also got cleaners, started to send laundry out, ordered in more food, enrolled kids in various day camps or classes.

But this is not really apples to apples comparison, startups are a lot harder than a job as a junior developer. And if your startup is not bringing in cash, you may not have enough of extra money to hire help, which may strain your relationship.
The main difference is you have knowledge of how your own brain operates in reality, what kind of actions you might take in a given situation (and by extension the same can be said of other humans), whereas most (if not all?) people have no clue how neural nets operate, so all bets are off when it comes to predicting what the computer could/will do.

Contrast that with a human: you know the subset of possible actions a human would likely take. Even when you see a car swerving and acting like the driver is drunk, you have a mental model of the set of actions to expect from such a car (you might add more distance between you and that driver for example).
Maybe it's more like spider eyes that see a blended vectorspace of reality with less movement?
This is relevant to everyone. Executives are even more likely to be involved in litigation.
> Do you need to link your personal accounts with family photos and whatnot?

Nope. You can create a separate iCloud account just for work. I did that during my time there. I always maintained a separate work phone, and used work icloud account for that. The folks complaining are the ones who just didn't do that, and added 'work data' on their personal account, which ofcourse they will have to hand over if subpoenaed.

I won't be surprised if it's a custom app made for the wider company / Russian military. Or even a simple Map viewer (based on OSM maybe).

Mimicking nature, the argument that if our eyes can do and therefore, it must be sufficient is... true - we have the evidence in front of our eyes (sorry for the pun). However, evolutionary processes have no hindsight and they often get stuck in local minima in terms of the optimization space. Of course, I am making the argument that having LIDAR only helps to augment the sensory input from cameras. It doesn't take anything away. I believe Tesla wanted to save a buck in its initial days and banked on cameras-only solution to FSD, continued to double down on it instead of re-evaluating the cost benefits. I am sure there are heated debates internally at Tesla team. Whether they'll use LIDAR or not seems to be a shut case for now.

Tesla's main goal is to do a lot while keeping the costs low. The fact the the entire interior is devoid of critical things like buttons is a testament to not how they're good at UX/UI, but how they've shaved off $$$. Pretty impressive. A potpourri of features in a Tesla car are all software-based (fixed NRE cost, essentially zero bloat on the COGS). Spending extra on a set of buttons, let alone a LIDAR system, would piss off the bean counters. If anything else, their marketing is great and people love the brand (and the stock).
That’s exactly what Tesla described tonight. 8 video cameras on a moving platform provide enough eyes, parallax, context, etc to build accurate 4D (!) models in real time.
How can you measure the performance of an ML engine in untested conditions? Tesla's whole goal is to achieve L5 capabilities. That means anywhere in any conditions, which is clearly impossible to comprehensively validate with a finite test set. It's plausible that we could get a long period of acceptable safety before a black swan event suddenly causes deaths because it can't handle smoke, heavy rain/fog, or blizzards.
Well, it's only $149 (or $199 for the higher-spec model with a dock), so it's affordably priced for a phone. One way to keep expectations in check is to treat the PinePhone as an upgrade to a feature phone, until the software options are more fleshed out.

> I said median, not drunk driver.

Right, and I originally said:

> I think one of the reasons there's such an inherent distrust of Tesla's FSD is that when it fails, it fails in scenarios in which people can easily see themselves succeeding.

The above-the-median driver is rationally able to see themselves beating Tesla's FSD. But importantly, even below-the-median drivers are likely to think they can beat Tesla's FSD for as long as the mistakes it makes seem naive and trivially-avoided by them. Human trust will require a higher bar than "beats the median human on 5 KPIs, but still on rare occasions decapitates someone because it doesn't know what a semi truck looks like from the side".

FSD advocates seem to want to focus on the "beats the median human" bit. I'm saying it's unlikely they'll gain much public trust until the "can't recognize a sideways semi" stories die down.
Yep, true. Although it's taking way too long for it to die!!

It’s a downgrade, but the freedom of running linux on a phone is nice. I have a pinephone running sxmo, probably the nerdiest and least friendly ux possible.

I’ve been using it sparingly, but intend to make a full time switch pretty soon. Having a phone with less capability and a focus on privacy will I think help make my phone less of a mental zapping appendage and more like the useful tool I remember these things being way back when.

I guess I’m arguing why even bother with a full replacement? I know everyone else seems to be all in on mobile/leaving a modern app ecosystem feels like getting left behind, but maybe everyone else is wrong. Maybe it’s better to just step away from all the ultra modern attention grabbing bricks of pure unadulterated dopamine and switch to a hacky little portable computer when you need to look something up, or text someone, or call someone, or work on some text document you have or whatever.

If you have a phone with even a crappy browser you have access to a ton of modern functionality anyway if you want it, minus all of the notification hell.
