Couldn’t agree more.

There are way too many edge cases in real world driving conditions because road traffic and signage changes from instant to instant.

As a driver I don’t know what’s round the next bend, could be road works or a vehicle collision.

There’s no technical reason a computer based driving system shouldn’t be more aware, it’s an implementation failure.
They censor/remove apps based on political viewpoints of whatever is currently en vogue all the time, even in the US. We have already accepted this slope while it was being used against one political faction in a recent election. Everything from not allowing legitimate news to be posted or deleting your post if you mention specific whistleblower names, to editing the contents of private messages, to banning individuals, to banning apps. You are either for censorship, or you are against it, and it's not an a la carte deal based on your political leanings or an individual topic. As we allow, and cheer on censorship in some cases, I fully expect more and more to come as others look around and see how they got away with it, and it will eventually hit something you hold dear. But you'll happily accept it because you were for censoring that other thing and you're not a hypocrite, right?

Only 26% of eligible Americans are unvaccinated, and that number is still shrinking every day. Yes, there is a depressing number of hardcore anti-vaxxers, but it's a much smaller minority than 35% of the population.

I think the guy above meant to reply to you:

> Presumably you are aware that the visualization you see in any retail car is old software, and several iterations behind what the linked video is about (FSD Beta v10). Plus the visualization is quite a bit different (and in many ways simplified) versus what's used for the actual piloting in retail vehicles.
better would be that i can legally go to sleep and let the car drive the highway portion of my trip. then i wake up and complete the final leg of the trip.

as you say, i don’t think this is entirely out of reach (even if it required specialized highway infrastructure or car to car communication). seems like lower hanging fruit than trying to get full self driving working on local/city roads.

i would pay a ton for the highway only capability…
My Audi e-tron has this habit of switching the adaptive cruise control to the on-ramp speed limit even when I’m in the middle of the freeway.

It’s something I’ve learned to deal with but the sudden attempt to break from 70 to 55 is pretty bad especially as it’s unexpected for other drivers around you.

While I’m sure Audi are much worse at updating their software to fix known issues than Tesla I find myself skeptical that the mix of hacks cars use to implement these features scale well, especially in construction zones. Hence I’m pretty content with radar based cruise control and some basic lane maintenance and then doing the rest of the driving myself.

I can imagine if my car were slightly better at some of these things I’d be a significantly worse safety driver as I’d start to be lulled into a false sense of security.
I am not happy with the design of ESNI as in its current form it is not straightforward to implement as it relies on dns hackery. I would rather instead that the outer tunnel be encrypted using a cert for the IP address, and the inner tunnel as before using the cert for the domain. This is analogous to how EAP works with an outer and inner identity.
This is a proper use of the internet. :)

I bought a Panasonic walkman when I graduated high school in 1984. That summer I remember riding my bike to the beach listening to music through headphones. It was a weird sense of freedom to have music that close and personal outdoors (everywhere, really), unlike lugging a boombox. I was listening to Rush's Fly By Night. I bet my kids will need to play Rush for me to snap me out of my dementia when I'm in my 90's.

IMHO a uni-tasker has more personality than a general purpose glass gadget. Not sure why that is, perhaps the multi-tasking iPhone is so generic it is stripped of identity, unlike a Walkman, doin' its Walkman thing. I visited a Dieter Rams museum in Germany and his devices are so much more appealing than Jony Ive's cultural impact. Again, it feels like art, but also I think the task is part of it.

I'm sure some design researcher could explain this feeling.

I love your optimism but I think you're overlooking a lot of why we've ended up in the landscape we are now, and it's not because we lacked a well designed language. It's because Javascript is like PHP: easy to learn, quick to develop in, cheap to hire, and just about good enough for people to stick with it.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Javascript as a language. But sometimes worse is better.
The lyrics of The Clash' London Calling [1] come to mind, especially the chorus and the last verse. Ton understand the chorus you need to realise they wrote this in 1979 when there was another climate-related disaster scenario. The title London Calling refers to the call sign for the BBS news broadcast, the last verse lets the listener know that some of what was said might be true.

Chorus:

The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growin' thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause London is drownin', I, live by the river

Verse 3:

(London calling), yes, I was there, too
And ya' know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
(London calling) at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
(London calling)

If The Clash is not your thing, maybe R.E.M.'s It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) fits the bill. Both tracks can be seen as dealing with the same subject matter and come to the same conclusion - The Clash wants you to give them a smile, R.E.M. feels fine.

In other words, stop it with the panic porn. Learn to adapt to the warmer climate as humans have done before, just like they adapted to an ice age where large parts of the continents were ice-covered. Use your head when confronted with statements of doom, check historical records and you'll quickly find there were worse droughts and more heatwaves about a century ago - which led to the Dust Bowl [3].

Take the ravages of the dust bowl as an example and imagine they had had access to the current crop of social networks and networking technology back then. There would have been similar predictions of doom - crops were failing, anf not just in the USA. Would those predictions have been justified given the development of the weather in the decades past the 40's? Clearly not.

What makes the current predictions of doom different from earlier ones? Is it the climate modelling which is used as base? Feed those models with (real - not 'corrected') data from before the dust bowl and see what they make of the next century.

For me, it seems like youtube's recommendation system mostly gets stuck in the local optimum. Once you watch a video from a particular channel, it'll keep on recommending the videos from the same channel for months. Soon, the recommendation just consists of stuff from the channels that have you already viewed. You rarely see new types of recommendations.

>Highway self driving has been around for decades[1]

Driver assisted highway has been around for years... Level 5 driving requires no human attention. Huge difference.

I think what is wanted by many is level 5 on the highways. I want to sleep, watch a movie, whatever. That is much, much "better" than what we have now. Like many others, I would be most interested in full level 5 on highways and me driving in the city. That is also much easier to implement and test. The scope of the problem is greatly reduced. I think Tesla and others are wasting tremendous resources trying to get the in-city stuff working. It makes cool videos, but being able to do other activities during a 5 hour highway drive has much more value (to me at least) than riding inside a high risk video game on the way to work.

(edit) I get that I am misusing the definition of "level 5" a bit, but I think my meaning is clear. Rated for no human attention for the long highway portion of a trip.

Because they are sudden and unpredictable, evasive maneuvers cannot be supervised. It would be unfair to rely on driver to supervise such scenarios.

If evasive maneuver is required it would have to be done in fully autonomous way. For the time of the maneuver system would have to be responsible for driving.
99% is a an very rough colloquial estimate meaning 'the vast majority of the time' to drive the point. Could well be 99.999999%. What really matters is how it compares with human performance, I don't have data to do that comparison. The only ones that can make the comparison are Tesla, modulo believing data from a megacorp in the wake of the VW scandal.
One reason unfortunately is you have to share the road with those $50k pickup trucks and I would not want to be in a $5000 box anywhere near those things. I've seen a video once of a lifted pickup hitting a small economy hatchback. It was horrific.

Congrats Sytse.
I absolutely loved Sony's "Sports" models. I guess it was just a little extra peace of mind for me; it's not like I really abused my stuff. But it was nice to know (or at least think!) that it would take accidental abuse.

I wish more companies would do something like that: produce a "Sport" model of their regular things... take the regular model, make it a little more rugged, charge a little more.

I think a truly rugged iPhone or flagship Android device would sell in a major way. Clearly it's something a lot of people want: look at all the people that wrap their phones in big fugly rugged cases.

I've read rumors over the years (from Daring Fireball, etc) that Apple has been toying around with a rugged "Explorer" (surely a working title + reference to the Rolex Explorer) variation of the Apple Watch for quite a few years. I hope they pull the trigger, I hope it sells, and I hope it starts a bit of a trend.

Apple would be in a very unique position to pull something like this off with their Macbooks, too. Traditionally "rugged" laptops have made major performance compromises. After all, performance = heat = airflow requirements, so you can't have a sealed laptop with top of line performance, unless you stick some giant cooling fins on it or something. At least traditionally.

But Apple's M1 chips show that performance doesn't have to be compromised for a fully sealed design.
Work isn’t everything. So take a sabbatical and find what your true love.
Yes, for 4 years I did, and what they're saying is absolutely true. It desperately tries to lock on to something when it loses whatever it's focused on. Diligent owners just learn those scenarios so you know when they're coming. Others may not be so lucky.

For example, short, wavy hills in the road would often crest just high enough that once it couldn't see on to the other side, it would immediately start veering into the oncoming lane. I have no idea why it happened, but it did, and it still wasn't fixed when I turned in my car in 2019. I drove on these roads constantly so I learned to just turn off AP around them, and it helped traffic on the other side was sparse, but if those weren't true, I'd only have a literal second to response.

EDIT: IMO the best thing it could do in that scenario is just continue on whatever track it was on for some length of time before its focus was lost. Because it "sees" these lines it's following go off to the right/left (such as when you crest a hill, visually the lines curve, or when the lines disappear into a R/L turn) but only in the split second before they disappear. Maybe that idea doesn't fit into their model but that was always my thought about it.

You are moving the goal posts. The original post said:

>...In a world without "government interference" you wouldn't have leave, you'd work every day of the week, and you'd work 12+ hours a day.

The claim is that without a government rule specifying otherwise, we would be working every day of week for almost all of our working hours. The government does mandate a minimum wage - if the original point was true, we would all be paid at the minimum wage. Your "1 in 5" percentage seems high, but as you point out, most people are paid more than the minimum wage.

They left off the part where rental companies sold off a bunch of inventory in 2020 because low demand and fixed lease payments. They thought they could flex up inventory when travel resumed. It was a reasonable assumption at the time as I don't believe anyone was talking about chip shortages back then and new cars were being heavily discounted as well.

FWIW - I rented a car in May and paid about $2000 for 4/5 days. I forget the specifics but the midsized economy class was only about 10% cheaper than a luxury SUV, so I upgraded. It was in Boston.
Yeah, I guess you could always be safer about it, but I'm really not sure it would be enough. If we substitute FSD for any software, you have code tests, QA, the developers test it, and bugs still go through. It's inevitable.

Unfortunately it's always about the incentives and on a capitalist society the only incentive is money. So even if they could be safer, they wouldn't do it unless it's more profitable, specially being a publicly traded company.
This just isn't true in a practical sense. LA is far too sprawling to effectively use the train without everything taking an hour longer than driving.
This seems like a weird move given that developer tools seldom do well on public markets. I can’t help but think that staying private would do more to maintain their community & preserve the reasons people opt for GitLab over GitHub.

Supposedly the US rental companies assumed their business would tank due to lockdowns so sold off much of their vehicle inventory. Then when people turned out to travel anyway through the pandemic, they tried to buy more vehicles and found they were hard to get due to supply chain issues.

I think it depend on the specific location. Here in Bozeman the airlines are complaining they can't fill planes because travelers can't rent cars here so they travel somewhere else or stay home. But for example LAX seems to have cars, albeit higher price than before.
