Richard Pearse gets written off in the same way to elevate the Wright brothers flying accomplishments.

Pearse was just perusing powered flight as hobby in rural New Zealand, didn't bother informing the press and didn't bother even telling the government until WWII, 40 years later, about his flights and engineering designs.

the principal agent problem. whenever you hire an agent whose interests are not specifically aligned with yours, theres an existential problem ensuring your principal concerns are acted upon.

so yeah, you want your agents to have a principal stake so havi g a nsa agen direct your staff brings more surety than some random third party like nso doing your dirty work even if its just handing over software. we all know it matters the route your hardware and software comes from if you are involved in national security.

Actually they revealed a few months ago that if you aren't politically aligned with them at nearlyfreespeech.net, they treat you differently as a customer.

https://blog.nearlyfreespeech.net/2021/01/19/free-speech-in-...

They will "*not* lift one finger to help you [host your site here]" (emphasis theirs)

If you are not politically to their taste, they will look for a reason to kick you off as opposed to their other customers, "we *will* kick you off the instant you give us a reason".

In that same post, they revealed they will cooperate with police requests without any court documents or warrants being provided, putting them in the 'fragile' class of hosting providers.
The Twitter user is located in MA, and the driver handbook says (https://www.mass.gov/doc/drivers-manual/download, page 85):

"You must yield to pedestrians entering or using a crosswalk in your travel path."

At least one pedestrian was unambiguously "using a crosswalk" in the car's travel path, and the other one was entering the crosswalk as well. I wouldn't consider this a marginal case.

I think Teslas are otherwise great cars but I would never use FSD in a million years. I think it should be banned on public streets until it's gone through testing that is far more rigorous.
> Definition of "regardless" is "without regard or consideration for". If there is no consideration for harm, then it does not matter what the level of harm is.

So I take it you work with computers...? Natural languages like English don't work the exact same way as programming languages like C.

> Therefore, "regardless of harm to others" means exactly the same thing as "regardless of any level of harm".

No it doesn't: Most people, not being monsters, wouldn't inflict immediate, grievous harm on others just because it's easier on themselves. They wouldn't, for instance, walk around with the lid off a container of nerve gas just because they can't be bothered to put it on, immediately killing all who come near. They realise and accept that they can't be free to do whatever they want regardless of any level of harm to others.

Many of those same non-monster people are smokers. And many -- at a guess, a majority -- of those, in turn, being a bit of an arsehole like we all can be, do gladly put their own convenience and immediate gratification above their consideration for you and your lungs: They know the dangers of second-hand smoke, but some unknown level of possible breathing disorders at some unknown point in other people's future, and some small amount of shortening of these other people's lifespan... That doesn't count the same to them as carrying a lidless bucket of sarin gas: They'll blow smoke in your face (or at least exhale it in your vicinity, where it will sooner rather than later find its way into your lungs). So they obviously do think they should be free to do what they want regardless of some level of harm to others.

What you've been saying boils down to "You're wrong in claiming that everyone would gladly nerve-gas everyone around them!". But nobody ever claimed that. The original contention was just "people do shit like smoking regardless of the harm it does to those around them".

I can't even grasp how you couldn't see this. (Nor can I tell which would be the more charitable way to react to your behavior, to take it as genuine or fake. AFAICS, neither alternative is possible to interpret particularly charitably.)

If you look at the blue track on the screen, the car is indicating it's going to go straight, not that it plans to turn right. I think the word veer is applicable because it is sudden and unexpected. If this was only a mistimed right turn, I might feel differently.

I almost edited my above comment a few minutes afterwards to append something like "and honestly, it would be pretty hard to convince me the NSA or some other group hasn't run one or more VPN providers in the past. The only question in my eye is whether it was a popular one or not."

That sign in the pillar, if I was driving, I would assume applied to the other lane on the left side of the pillar. I think the intent is to make sure you don't turn left if you are in the right lane of the pillar side, and vice versa.
There's a reason we "scapegoat" the unvaccinated.

The hospitals in places like Florida and Idaho are being knocked over by the unvaccinated winding up on ventilators and dying. In the process they're denying medical care to other people.

It looks like we're going to have to burn through senselessly burying another hundred thousand or so americans to get to the end of this. We're back to "flatten the curve" in order to hopefully make sure that when you get into a traffic accident that you don't die for lack of medical care.

AND IF EVERYONE HAD JUST GOTTEN VACCINATED NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING AND WE WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL.

Why is this so fucking hard.
Test driving a Tesla Model 3 with autopilot last year was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve ever had. It’s not at all intuitive, and I had no idea what autopilot would/wouldn’t handle.
No amount of technical development can keep up with exponential increase in resource usage. Just giving western living standards long term to everyone we have on earth today is a daunting task, adding even more is just insanity.

Why is everyone freaking out over a beta test with a driver at the wheel ready to take over immediately? It's a beta test, finding bugs is kind of the point.

Or have we truly reached the point now where we expect "stable" software to be of the same calibre as beta software so nobody makes a distinction between the two?

I originally got into mainframe tech through IBM's annual Master the Mainframe program [1] which got me limited access real mainframe on some college's campus and IBMs manuals.

The old -- and likely not so bad -- advice if you'd like to learn how to use a Mainframe is: Get access to a one, get a copy of latest Red Book [2], and start playing around :)

There is an audiobook called How to Listen to and Understand Great Music. The author starts way way back with the oldest music we have and then little by little moves forward to more modern times showing how music grew little by little over the millennia. The audiobooks includes audio excerpts of the music. I found it fascinating up until the classical music time when it started bogging down and going a lot slower.
This is pretty much how I interpret what's happening in the US and Europe as well.

> Especially given that milk product are known for decades to be unhealthy for humans after the weaning stage.

That's not true. Here:

>Background

> There is scepticism about health effects of dairy products in the public, which is reflected in an increasing intake of plant-based drinks, for example, from soy, rice, almond, or oat.
Objective

> This review aimed to assess the scientific evidence mainly from meta-analyses of observational studies and randomised controlled trials, on dairy intake and risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cancer, and all-cause mortality.
Results

> The most recent evidence suggested that intake of milk and dairy products was associated with reduced risk of childhood obesity. In adults, intake of dairy products was shown to improve body composition and facilitate weight loss during energy restriction. In addition, intake of milk and dairy products was associated with a neutral or reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly stroke. Furthermore, the evidence suggested a beneficial effect of milk and dairy intake on bone mineral density but no association with risk of bone fracture. Among cancers, milk and dairy intake was inversely associated with colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, and breast cancer, and not associated with risk of pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, or lung cancer, while the evidence for prostate cancer risk was inconsistent. Finally, consumption of milk and dairy products was not associated with all-cause mortality. Calcium-fortified plant-based drinks have been included as an alternative to dairy products in the nutrition recommendations in several countries. However, nutritionally, cow's milk and plant-based drinks are completely different foods, and an evidence-based conclusion on the health value of the plant-based drinks requires more studies in humans.

> Conclusion

> The totality of available scientific evidence supports that intake of milk and dairy products contribute to meet nutrient recommendations, and may protect against the most prevalent chronic diseases, whereas very few adverse effects have been reported.

RCWs > Title 46 > Chapter 46.61 > Section 46.61.305

(1) No person shall turn a vehicle or move right or left upon a roadway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety nor without giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided.

(2) A signal of intention to turn or move right or left when required shall be given continuously during not less than the last one hundred feet traveled by the vehicle before turning.

Do we think that every state in the US doesn't have a similar law?
IMO people overestimate how much alpha is in knowing your customers’ positions (as exchange owner).

Open interest, volume and price data down to seconds is available via APIs in real-time, from which it is absolutely possible to build a model of positioning.

If you launch a new exchange, your biggest problem is lack of liquidity, meaning limit orders won’t fill ‘timely’ and market orders slip, which is very bad UX obviously.

That is why it is fairly obvious that one of the best market makers in the industry launched their own exchange; Alameda could provide excellent liquidity for FTX from day one.

The cognitive load of using FSD in a city honestly seems more than driving yourself. The car is no longer an extension of yourself, where you navigate the road carefully. Instead you are constantly trying to predict and determine if FSD is going to screw up, and how to quickly react to said screw up.
Because it’s a 5000 lb weapon and the pedestrians didn’t consent to the beta.
I've been using Open Pilot for the last 3 months (Rav4 Hybrid). I've really enjoyed it a lot on the highways. It also works really well in stop and go traffic.

I'm starting to agree with George Hotz about making driving chill. Highway driving is chill. Stop and go traffic is chill. There's nothing chill about letting a car drive in these situations (pulling out intersections, right hand turn on red, congested streets with people everywhere) and I'm used to my car driving itself. There's nothing chill about your car having unlimited torque on the steering wheel where it can do something gnarly. Making your car do these maneuvers has the opposite effect, making you more stressed rather than taking the stress away.

I'll stick to open pilot for now. I'd rather just drive in these situations. With Tesla FSD you already have to have your hand on the wheel, might as well put your foot on the pedals.
Oh c'mon graybeard, you can't honestly be defending 1500 line components right now can you? It's not even a matter of abstraction choice, it's a matter of simple hygiene.

You know what's worse than the wrong abstractions? Copy and pasting your inline-styled div with a zIndex of 99,999 for the fifth modal in a row because you can't be assed to write a damned display component in anticipation of the next time you'll need to put a Modal together.

When my friend immigrated to Canada he quickly realized that one of the fastest ways to make decent money (he is not an entrepreneur) is in IT. Being very intelligent guy he decided that there should not be too much of a problem for him to learn programming. To my surprise out of various areas he had chosen to do COBOL stuff. Long story short - he has very secure employment, not the top but very nice salary and zero worries.

I'm more familiar with puppet, but I'd venture to say that it really depends in how well you write your code.

In my previous job where I used it heavily, every module had an enable parameter. If it was true, the module would follow one logic branch (install package, write config, perform action) but if it was false then it would follow another (remove package, delete config, perform action). This was a basic standard, and a new module would be rejected if it wasn't possible to toggle it on/off and configure it from Hiera (hierarchical yaml data). It wasn't perfect, but once the complex stuff was dockerized the puppet codebase shrank a lot. Most of the differences between our VMs were defined in Hiera (edit a yaml, toggle something on, override some default).
Which version of Open Pilot?
Note that your terminal velocity is not an intrinsic property, but a consequence of air resistance on your body - air resistance you will not be feeling when enveloped by a row of airline seats. Even if the seat row has a higher terminal velocity than you would by yourself, its wake will take you with it.

Which isn't to say you won't feel your seatbelt tugging on you. You will likely be straining painfully against it. But that's because you'll be tumbling wildly, the entire assembly battered and buffeted by huge forces.
To be totally safe you need to hold in 'cold storage,' totally offline. Unless the feds intercept someone in the act of scamming/stealing crypto and negotiate the crypto back into your hands, it's incredibly unlikely you will ever get your money back.

Because a car is a life critical system and nobody should want an automated vehicle, even if controlled by a human, to "accidentally" try to run over some humans. I doubt the pilot's ability to stop all missteps before an injury.

The car should be much safer before it goes on the road, regardless of test status. This was a near miss and should be taken extremely seriously by highway safety regulators.

>Or have we truly reached the point now where we expect "stable" software to be of the same calibre as beta software so nobody makes a distinction between the two?

I expect every vehicle on the road to meet a safety standard. I do not accept "beta software" tests on public roads if this is the kind of mistake they can make.

I think that sign applies to the left lane only. It's to stop you from turning right from the left lane. I think turning right from the lane the car is in is legal.
This is in Seattle, on 5th ave. The concrete pillars are the monorail track. The street confused me driving as a human sometimes. There are more videos of the Tesla software being confused on this particular street floating around
I disagree, out-of-touch founders being kicked out is a good thing. It's a sign that the community is strong enough and can move forward irrespective of any one person's opinion. This video has it totally backwards.

Like, I get that there is an aspect of founder worship on this forum but there is no inherent value in this beyond the idea that someone can keep control indefinitely, which doesn't matter for an open source project. Maybe it matters if you want to hang onto your company's bank accounts but that's a fundamentally different thing compared to a project that exists entirely on public github.
I believe that it is not illegal to turn right there. Both streets are one way, and the "no right turn" sign is for the lanes to the left of the pillars.

For context, these pillars in the middle of the road are handled poorly by Tesla FSD and this guy is repeatedly stress testing the system by forcing it to drive there, for YouTube videos. The latest FSD build is the first one that actually recognizes the pillars as obstacles; earlier builds would simply plow into them. What I'm speculating happened here is the new obstacle detection failed and decided that the road ahead was blocked, so the path planner decided it had to turn right despite that not tracking the planned route.

As far as the pedestrians, it looks to me like there was plenty of space to turn into the near lane without hitting them, and the pedestrians shouldn't have been starting to cross while the red hand was flashing, but of course a law abiding driver should yield in this situation. I expect many human drivers would choose to turn anyway as long as the pedestrians were far enough away as they appeared to be. But FSD should have stopped.
