To be frank, the lane keeping ADAS has been out for years and most car manufacturers offer such a thing on their high end models. Usually radar supported and pretty reliable from what I hear.

Perhaps it's not the best idea to use these more advanced Level 4 systems in the densest city yet, but most of driving does usually happen on highways and regional roads so it's not a major loss.

I'm sure someone will eventually figure out how to detect "eyyy im walkin eer" and honk back automatically, and then it should be usable in NY as well.

> versions of AI that are hidden from the public both private and military

I do think you overestimate how much the military has its shit together. These systems need gigantic amounts of driving data to train and nobody else has that aside from car manufacturers with their fleets. And out of those Tesla is the one that's been doing it the longest.

I recall circa 1999? Tape recording a live performance of Britney Spears, "Hit Me Baby One More Time" from the Mark & Lard BBC radio 1 show by the UK indie band Travis.

I later shared this on Napster after digitising from the phono in on my cyrix 333MHz PC.

I often wonder if that exact MP3 file still exists somewhere
We’re just as invasive as the other ones, exploiting our own environment as much as we can.
Some people just don't like committed relationships. You might be someone like that. On the other hand, many young people think they don't ever want commitment when they are young, and then end up changing their minds later. This pattern is extremely common. No way except time to tell which category you're in.

With regards to the notion that we live too longer for lifelong monogamy: that's probably true for some people and not for others. I do think that if the human lifespan were stretched to 1000 years, but society were otherwise the same, few people would remain in a single monogamous relationship for the entire duration.
I am appalled at the way we are attempting to introduce driverless cars.

Cities install traffic lights with sensors and an internet connection so that it can be controlled from the city traffic management HQ. There are dozens of professionals in front of giant screens, and a supercomputer at their disposal. Could that information be sent directly to cars?

No, instead we cram a computer and a camera into every car and hope it can find the right pixels on the picture in fog and rain.

Smart approach would be to invest in infrastructure - standard location beacons that tell cars exactly where they are and what is ahead, wireless communication between cars so they know locations and bearing of every vehicle within a square mile, wireless tags could be installed on all bikes and cycles, etc. We have an entire department for traffic management in each city that could suggest a route to every car?

We already installed speed cameras, number plate recognition, pedestrian counting, we have vehicle sensing sensors inside the road that count and weigh cars, and none of this information is being used. If cloud computing makes sence for crappy apps, then it definitely makes sence to assist cars.
On measuring power and system load to correlate them (something the article mentions) - I would hook the Pi up to something that can measure outlet power consumption and report via USB, and then feed that back into the Pi’s own USB port. Metrics can then be collected and stored, and easily analyzed with eg. grafana. I have such a setup with an old watts up meter, telegraf collecting raw data off a custom script that talks to the watts up via usb, Prometheus for data storage and grafana for analysis.

If telegraf/Prometheus are overkill for the Pi, a cron that gets the power measurement and stores in an SQLite database would do the trick. Or one can go even more classical and use rrdtool to store and plot data, which can then be exposed as static files via the existing nginx setup.
Sure but even in the absence of such ordinances they would still choose sprawl. The law is certainly not helping across the country (zoning, etc.) but the culprit is cars and infrastructure dollars going to roads and highways. If I were dictator I would stop all new road construction for 50 years and then review after that.

The issue is that we have extraordinarily cheap energy so of course people are going to buy cars. Oh and gotta keep the domestic car manufacturing industry alive in case we need to build tanks. Nobody has been paying the price for global warming either - so cars are subsidized big time in that way too.
> thousands of people driving this stack since March with no accidents

Don't these people regularly have to intervene and take over, hence the no accidents? Unless I can responsibly cede full control to the self driving system it's less than useful for most drivers imo. If I'm wrong let me know but that is the impression I have taken away reading on the tesla self drive system.

I think there is some value to this for sure ... I would do it for 6-12 months to find a permanent place (and I have), but doing it for 2-5 years feels like it would get old fast!
The GPL wouldn't affect server-side JS (you'd need the AGPL for that), but client-side JS would have to be released under the GPL in un-minified form.

Accurate - Engineering at Apple has no tradition of security; nor does it have a tradition of being very efficient. It's mostly based on heroics of some very few very talented developers. Processes that are in place are actively hindering development.

Scaling development is hard, and Apple has never really gotten it right. I am wondering if a zero day is $1M on the open market - wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to get an engineer inside Apple to leave some plausible deniability bugs in the code? Or compromise an engineer already there?

Software engineering never had security as its main goal - but today, if you had to do it all over, security would be built into all processes from the get go, and that's likely the only way software could be made secure.

It always amazes me Apple (and others) can't even make a browser that doesn't have a drive by zero day that can take over my computer. Why is that? There must be something fundamentally wrong in the system here. And I think what's wrong is that security was not even in the minds of engineers when most of these software modules were created.

BSD had it built in, but they watered it down instead of - what they should have done - doubling down on it.
Thank you for the reference!

Interestingly enough, I had received an ad for this on my LinkedIn or Instagram before I ever clicked your link.
My wife doesn't work so it helps. I would say more stressful around travel days including the day before and after but those are only every 1 to 2 months. Otherwise its fairly normal stress levels.
Then the answer is no. It’s almost a tautology that career politicians are not honorable.
Yeah the majority of the pushback probably comes from people over expecting what the system should do from overzealous marketing, but the tech is slowly getting there regardless.

Whoever says the software flat out doesn't perform either hasn't been keeping up with development or has other motives.
Honourable?

This guy sent helicopters full of swat teams to arrest a single guy - Kim Dotcom. The whole thing was super illegal and almost hilariously over the top. "Almost" because there was nothing amusing about the whole thing. It was ugly
I see it like this... Crashes will happen if we block self driving cars. Crashes costs lives... People will die. But if they die and the algorhythm learns from it and prevents the crash the next time... In a couple of years of further crashes maybe we can iron out most flaws and we save lives.
>3,600 square foot house.

>As of now, our two kids, my son-in-law, and my daughter’s four cats are in the house and it feels barely big enough.

That's a huge space for just 5 people. I'm baffled that someone would find a 335 square meters house "barely enough".

I went through password reset just for this.
Absolutely not. JS is single thread and async/await is more or less a syntax sugar around promise APIs.
Where do you live? Your comment feels completely disconnected from the reality on the ground.

I agree that shopping malls have killed in-town shopping. But maybe there's a reason for that? In-town shops usually don't stay open late enough for people who depend on public transit for longer commutes, which is the case for many people living in the suburbs. Those people don't usually live there by choice, it's usually because they couldn't afford to live in the city center. That's the case for my parents, for example.

I don't doubt that there must also have been a comfort angle to that, it's easier to just drive to a big store, get everything you need in one place, and drive back. Also, malls are usually much cheaper that in-town stores. Which, again, is important for people who have to live in the suburbs because of limited means.

I'm in the same situation as you, probably even better. I have multiple shops open until 10 PM less than a 10-minute walk away. But I realize that not everyone can afford to live in the city center, so it's not just a matter of will.

---

My parents live in a 20000 people town, so it's not the boonies. The closest non-bakery shop is 20 minutes away on foot. It's open from 9 AM to 8 PM, and it only has your basics. Want anything other than packaged sausage and cheese? Tough. The butcher and cheese vendor close at 7 PM.

By public transit, it's impossible for them to be home before 7:30 PM for my mom and 8:30 for my dad. They can basically only shop on weekends, so they'd have to haul provisions for the whole week. They cannot do "daily shopping".

Of course, my dad's commute is 1:30 each way by transit if there are no issues, or 30 minutes by car, which is what he ends up using.
Let’s imagine there are 6 hours of housework to do daily. Only one partner is working on an income-generating job. Do they then come home and do “their fair share” of 3 hours of housework as well?

The benefits of the income are shared with the entire household and represent their contribution. It seems reasonable for the other partner to shoulder most of the housework (the benefits of which are also shared with the entire household). The opposite is what would seem unreasonable to me.

For clarity, I’m not saying the employed partner never has to wash a dish or put their dirty socks in the basket.
I would strongly advise not having a car. The ZTL traffic zones are such a pain and the public transit is good enough that you can do without it. Not sure on turo but there's lots of rent on demand vespa esque bikes available if thats an option for you.
Tell me the difference between fraud and hype and I'll have the games industry arrested.

That's right, this is still beta software and the users are still responsible for supervising. "Less than useful" isn't the standard, though. SF and the poster above aren't making an argument about consumer protection or lemon laws or anything. They're claiming a safety problem.

And there's no evidence of a safety problem.
That's because there is no dire need to roll out new nuclear plants that run on nuclear waste.

BTW, the idea that all nuclear waste can be recycled is a lie. Fission products cannot be recycled. Some actinides can be recycled, but only to a limited extent (one-through-again for MOX fuel) in any reactor that's approved for building today.
Yeah so we book months out and it hasn't been an issue so far. I suppose that is a potential issue but we pay in advance and just haven't run into it yet.
Aside from who’s right and who’s wrong, although I do agree with this is an unattributed fork, the idea that JS OSS devs are incentivized to do this to increase their downloads number is absurd. Maybe we need to replace that with a star system including both security vulnerabilities and downloads that is less dopamine-inducing than a moving number.
This is interesting, it seems like a global mode that kind of turns normal Zig code into Go or Erlang-like non-blocking code. It does mean you have to hold non-local context in your head while reading functions, but maybe that's a worthy tradeoff?
A free upgrade to hardware that's still not capable of full self driving.

Tesla promised that full autonomy will enable a Tesla to be substantially safer than a human driver, lower the financial cost of transportation for those who own a car and provide low-cost on-demand mobility for those who do not.

When will Tesla deliver what was paid for?

It seems you are trapped in the idea that humanness is defined by brain function. Which is obviously wrong to me, but I am not interested in expanding the discussion.

Also it is important whether it is a consequence of the mother's voluntary behavior, because if it is not then the human embryo would not have end up inside her body. So yes, it matters.

I've been burned by this so many times that I just simply will never use async in any code that is beyond trivial complexity and/or has performance requirements attached. I'll recommend breaking your solution into small pieces that execute separately and pass data to one another via messaging, to isolate the "colors" from one another at the process level.
Well, Aristotle’s studies on logic are called the “organon” (meaning “tool”) exactly because of that.
Looks like FBA is not "trustless", which is actually excellent, but I'm not sure how that would fly in the current (criminal and fraudulent) cryptocurrency economy.
It provides an adequate compilation target for Clojurescript..
In seriousness, I don't like working in it much either. I think it could be an ergonomic language if one had the luxury of green-field projects with disciplined style to navigate around foot guns and tedium, but... Hell is other peoples' code.
I'm not happy with human drivers doing that either, but it does seem to happen. And that is after all the real life benchmark.
I'm still learning Cat theory myself (through the Category for Programmers book). I have a couple of questions/observations (that I would love your opinion on).

First observation: True and False are the limit and co-limit of the Bool Category.

Question 1: About ordering, would you say that ordering is a requirement (as in a necessary property) of Cat Theory? It was mentioned in Bartosz Milewski's book but it wasn't as strongly emphasized as in your article.

Question 2: You mention how you can't express "A or not A" using intuistic logic. Since it is expressible in Set Theory, could we not use an Adjoint between the Bool and Set Categories respectively? Specifically Kan extensions?
That Rand paper is sort of a joke. It's positing an idea of "certainty" we don't apply to any other industries anywhere. The same logic would argue that human drivers are not known with certainty to be safe, that industrial accidents are not proven not to happen, that airline autopilots aren't known with certainty to be safe, etc..

The goal isn't certainty. It's "better". It seems like it might be "better" already.
No, I think it's reasonable to wonder whether some powerful enough agents have some "super secret tech" and aren't telling. It wouldn't be the first time. For instance, the US didn't exactly advertise having the atomic bomb before they first used it (although it was a very short time after and they did specifically work on the atomic bomb to use it as soon as possible).

That said, personally, I think it's unlikely.

First, the vast majority of AI research is happening out in the open. It's often funded by militaries (e.g. DARPA) but it's not owned by them directly, rather the owners are universities and similar.

Second, private corps promote their AI advances very aggressively and this marketing is a big part of the advantage they try to establish over their competitors, so it doesn't seem obvious why they would keep a new advance "under wraps". For example, what would Google do with a secret machine vision system capable of 20% better performance than that of its rivals? I can't tell.

Of course we can assume that Google or someome similar have a much more advanced system than anyone else, like a real AGI. We can imagine such a system sitting at the heart of Google, dirctly advice Larry and Sergey how to run the company. But then, if we can imagine that, we can imagine anything.

And I do mean anything:

I know the question was rhetorical, I think the case is made easier when one can point to a realized loss in terms of property, money, life/limb etc. I think there’s a much straighter line to than regarding safety critical software than gaming
I don't take issue with the criticism of American imperialism, but with the straw man that it's all just another Yellow Peril Cold War US thing, seeking issues where there is none to distract from domestic issues. Leica and Mercedes Benz are German companies, and they and others already kissed the ring. That won't do.

And then there is this:

> The future of the United States, and the world, rests on American-Chinese co-operation in a global society of genuine internationalism. But that is too obvious to require discussion.

But it does require discussion, it should be questioned, because the "Chinese" in that sentence isn't Chinese, it's the CCP. Another Orwell quote comes to mind:

> Already history has in a sense ceased to exist, ie. there is no such thing as a history of our own times which could be universally accepted, and the exact sciences are endangered as soon as military necessity ceases to keep people up to the mark. Hitler can say that the Jews started the war, and if he survives that will become official history. He can’t say that two and two are five, because for the purposes of, say, ballistics they have to make four. But if the sort of world that I am afraid of arrives, a world of two or three great superstates which are unable to conquer one another, two and two could become five if the fuhrer wished it. That, so far as I can see, is the direction in which we are actually moving, though, of course, the process is reversible.

-- George Orwell, letter to Noel Willmett (1944)

You’re missing the point: Random bystanders are run over by human drivers all the time. But when a human driver makes a mistake, we can’t analyze what happened and push out an update to everyone else.
I don’t really think that hubernating is worth it when you have gobs of RAM and a lot of data and state in it. The sheer time it’s going to take each time even with an NVMe drive, blergh.

Now that batteries are decent and S3 on Linux is good, I don’t bother with anything else. I reboot/power off my machines on a regular basis to make sure the things I need persisted are, in fact, persisted and everything will be brought up again.

So I was quite surprised to find resume= pointing to my swap partition in my /proc/cmdline after a default install.

1. Opaque interview process with no feedback. Recently two interviews I attended went this way; After 5-6 rounds of tech discussion, the process ended with the recruiter not responding to my email requesting an update or feedback.
2. Coding interviews where you're expected to give the "perfect" solution. I can solve problems of reasonable complexity, but apparently that's not good enough.
3. Recruiters not understanding the spirit of the requirements and rejecting my profile based on unknown factors. (I only apply to jobs in companies I know would match my experience.)

That's a strawman though. The argument upthread and in the linked article is that the supervised FSD Beta is presumptively unsafe.

Arguing that full autonomy isn't possible yet (duh, I mean, it says "beta" right there in the name) isn't an argument to disallow testing.
Yeah so I mean there is always that risk. I think the big thing is we look for price range first and then we carefully read reviews. Once reviews are good and we study the pictures to make sure its at least nominally friendly for a toddler we start research about the neighborhoods etc. Also since I run a company anywhere we go has to have a coworking space nearby (luckily they're super common at this point so it hasn't been a problem).

I should mention we're also super flexible on "where" we go. Mostly it's not the Paris and Rome sorts of place because they're expensive. We tend to stay in more regional hubs (Hence Florence) that are a bit cheaper and stay around there rather than take lots of day trips.
