This argument seems not fully thought through: First, "already" makes it appear that this property is monotonically increasing, i.e., that they will stay safer from now on, even if more people use this feature. From what we see in the video, it seems this cannot be concluded: If this technology is used in more vehicles, it would appear that also the rate of accidents may increase, possibly rendering it less safe in total. We do not know how many accidents were avoided because other drivers prevented them. Second, the types of accidents will likely also change, in a way that in total could make the technology less safe. Third, what if the drivers are not fully alert all the time, as they appear in this video, to quickly take over when the technology fails in such colossal ways as we see in the video, does it still remain safer?
The Tesla influencers — the explicit and implicit ones — have really soured me on the brand. I have driven in the original Tesla, loved the model S, owned a model Z, and had a cybertruck on order for a while (and intended to follow through with the purchase). I am a big Tesla fan, but the constant stream from the influencers rings like the “no matter what, this event is good for crypto” people. No matter what, Tesla acolytes jump in and only show the good things and rail against anything bad. I have cancelled my cybertruck order partially because of this behavior, Elons behavior, and in no small part because I saw a Rivian on the road the other day!
Wouldn’t it be roughly equivalent for a miner to put the amount spent on overhead and recurring cost such as electricity into staking and then sell or “dump” the staking rewards assuming the % payout is the same? It seems given enough time, with all be it potentially new entities, you risk being back at where you started.

However I’m not familiar with Decred and only have a general idea of PoS.

The FSD beta is no additional cost over the (currently) $10,000 package that adds additional AP capabilities and hardware upgrades. My computer was already upgraded for example.
There are always going to be some people asking for more. Your app is not open-source and you already have that. Don't open-source it if you don't want to, or don't allow issues/requests for the open-source version if you don't want to.

Understand that some people will avoid your app and look for something that is open-source, for various reasons. So they can be confident they'll never have to pay, so they can theoretically fix bugs and port to newer platforms if they need to, so they can be confident there is no underhanded reporting or remote-control in the software, whatever. When looking for something, I value and prefer open-source alternatives, myself.

But that's not everyone, and that's fine. You don't have to open-source your app.
I guess if it does NOT work on mice, it's highly unlikely to work on humans? In this case, it might be good predictor of failure, which can save a lot of money. Just speculating...

Also, if something really bad goes on mice, we can avoid having that happening to humans. Which I would also value a lot.

I mean, it seems to me experimenting on mice might be worth it.

We do something along this axis with our products. We have to be able to provide B2B software that will be stable on timelines measured in half-decades (per contractual requirements), so the specific vendors we decide to depend upon are a huge part of our decision making process. I will happily admit we probably wrote a little bit too much stuff in-house, but the number of clear wins easily outweighs the "no DIY allowed" concerns.

Getting us to vendor out something like logging/tracing/telemetry would take an act of god at this point. We explicitly spent a week ripping out Microsoft's byzantine logging from AspNetCore in favor of something we could trust and understand. Our entire logging framework now lives in 1 class file and consists of maybe 30 useful lines of source code. None of them have the capability to reach out to a remote host, download a DLL and then execute it in the current context. This sort of problem we are seeing with Log4j today is precisely the sort of experience we hope to avoid by doing a lot of our tooling in-house.

I think those who parroted "don't reinvent the wheel" over and over like it's some doomsday cult should accept some shame for the situation many developer ecosystems find themselves in today.
Greenlights - Matthew McConaughey (https://greenlights.com/)
Solutions involving companies paying directly to the people whose code they use miss the point.

The reason is that software shared with the world is often shared out of passion and idealism. If only code that's useful to some companies is paid for, the world of free (as in beer or otherwise) software as we know and love is still unsustainable, and not just because fledgling projects tend to be inferior in many ways to everything that came before.

Some software is written simply for the fun of it. Future Crew were kids writing demos and putting them out (by the way, an executable for a program that's written in assembly is not so far removed from its source code; so whether they put out the source code or not is immaterial, here the point is "free as in beer"). These demos were unlikely to be directly useful to companies, but we were still amazed by them and some of us got into programming because of them. Do you want to live in a world where only people who produce software that's useful to some company can sustain themselves?

Their parents provided them with food and shelter, so they didn't have to think too hard about writing and releasing it. People in this thread claim that they don't feel exploited, probably for similar reasons. They probably have an income or enough money to make them feel comfortable giving something away. What happens when circumstances don't go your way, though? Then, while you live off your savings, see them shrink day by day, you realize that society doesn't give you the basic stuff that's needed for living, so why the hell should you give anything away? If you already gave stuff away while you were fat and healthy, and this stuff is being used profitably by others, the resentment can only grow.
Sir Robert Peel's Policing Principles
Most workplaces I've observed allow for short breaks, conversations, etc. Not just techies, not just office work; I've seen it in restaurants, in retail, in warehouses. Smoke breaks and bathroom breaks are unmetered in all but the most egregious work environments.

Working from home, you're closer to the bathroom, closer to the lunchroom, and almost certainly spend less time socializing at the water cooler. You spend less time commuting, and probably work longer days as a result. That's adds up to hours that your employer gets for free. Also, you're probably a knowledge worker, so productivity isn't a strictly linear function of hours at the keyboard. Taking a quick nap, doing some laundry, etc. balances out that bonus labor. It is not theft. In my experience, short breaks like this increase my productivity.
> I think my favorite would be this one [3], where they assert that a $150,000 salary in San Francisco is excessive.

When it's almost 19,000 public employee's being paid over $150,000 in SF, that kind of does sound excessive especially in the context of a budget deficit.

> These public workers are in charge of essential duties. Suggesting that a firefighter or a teacher are "overpaid", is ridiculous and sets a dangerous precedent.

It-least in [3] they never use the word Teacher. They do claim the average Firefighter Comp is 191,000 in SF. Maybe it's not 191K but isn't there some number where people in charge essential duties can be "overpaid" ?

> So, it's not useful to say that "companies should do it".

Valid point, but so far NO useful solutions have appeared. I don't need log4j, my employer does. So why should I pay the developers? Because that's the only other solution I've seen presented.
What's not clear is if that's good enough. I doubt it is.
Thank you, I thought I was losing my mind.
Yes, Tesla owner here. When you buy you’re given the option to purchase “FSD” for $10k. All the caveats reveal that it’s not really FSD though, of course, and you’re essentially paying for these partial FSD features and are a part of the testing (like opting into iOS beta, for example).

You can go through the order flow on Teslas site and see this quickly.

Tesla doesn't publish data nor shares it with the NHTSA, so that's very difficult to do. The only """data""" we have are videos uploaded to YouTube by a select group of Tesla owners who have access to the beta. Even ignoring the bias in videos selected for upload by the beta testers, every single city driving clip I've seen has several illegal maneuvers and many more disengagements.
I really thought the breaks would have been slammed on Tesla's shipping of autonomous car software after the incident where the guy was decapitated by a tractor trailer.
I think there's disagreement about what 1% means - far less than 1% of my time spent operating a car involves interaction with a UPS truck, but more than 1% of my trips do.

Asking as someone with no first hand experience with these systems - do they complete 99% of trips with no disengagements or unexpected behavior, 99% of time driving, something else?

> There's plenty of enforcement precedent.

Unfortunately not. There are some rulings on a few issues, but far too few to establish solid practice.

> settle rather than go to court

Unfortunately, this is a practice that is already known from the patent field, and which unfortunately also opens the door to trolls. Especially the big companies would have the necessary budget to have important license issues clarified in court. By the way, the FSF and others could also take legal action on various unclear points of their license, but they knowingly refrain from doing so because the risk is too great for them, too.
I have no problem with Macbook Air Big Sur (2020), I can look at the screen for hours, but I cannot even look a few minutes at the screen on the new MacBook Pro M1 Monterey. I tried all the adjustments for the screen to no avail.

yes. and also giving a whole lot of driving data to tesla for use in their insurance program and obviously to train their AI.

There is virtually no relationship whatsoever between what works in mice and humans. Such headlines are completely ridiculous by now: the track record of applicability is a train wreck.
I think it worked out as it was supposed to. Mercedes could have pitted during SC and got fresh tires, they decided not to, thought they had it wrapped up. F1 is a team sport and Mercedes can't stand they made an error.

FIA made two poor decisions, first allowing Hamilton to keep his advantage after he goes off track. Then they allowed the odd restart with SC. To me it evened out.

Of course, Mercedes will appeal, they can't stand to lose. And if they had won, I would expect RedBull to appeal that stupid call at the beginning of the race. Either one deserves the crown.

Congratulations Max!
Had, not has. In October. As noted in the very first sentence of the article.

You’re saying that Tesla influencers pick and choose only the best videos on social media. This whole article is about videos of poor self-driving of Tesla cars, and you post a video of bad self-driving. The videos I’ve seen show some good and some bad automated manoeuvres.

Even if what you’re saying is right about influencers picking and choosing the best videos, it’s clear that there are videos of poor behaviour as well.

With so many videos out there I think it’s pretty clear what you’re getting with FSD regardless of the name. It is glitchy and unreliable and can get random safety issues with software regressions.

At the same time when it works it works pretty well, and it does also seem to be improving rapidly based on the videos that I’ve seen. A long way to go but it’s getting better.

It’s also not clear they’re dead last - they may be but there’s lots of people using it now and showing videos, which is harder to see for other companies.

You might have good points here but I don’t think it’s as black and white as you make out regarding how effective Tesla’s approach is with respect to safety, degree of progress, feasibility with current sensors, feasibility in general, misleading market, and general motivations and morals.
Because its not true at all. Most major Tesla incidents of any kind make headlines from fires to accidents on AP. You should do some basic research on the topic.

The FUD is _insane_ with Tesla.
I'd be curious to know what definition of edge-case you are using. I think self-driving can't be entirely about edge-cases by definition (of edge-case).
> I live in California. The state with highest tax rate in the country.

This is, at best, a misleading statement: https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-bur... shows that California is 10th by tax burden, not 1st. It's not even first by income tax burden.
It’s simple really. In finance this is called ‘the time value of money.’ Essentially, in order for me to be incentivized to use a savings vehicle, there must be a real incentive. This incentive is what motivates the saver to save. If not for the incentive, why would they lend their money out?
All top racing drivers are arrogant tools, as far as I can tell.

Verstappen also isn't actually that bad compared to some, he knows he's probably the fastest driver in the world right now but he's pretty unpretentious if you listen to him just chatting away while doing laps on iRacing (he doesn't stream himself so it has to be him talking to someone else).
There’s no such argument, but a dirty extrapolation and implication. They argue:

a) [Broadly speaking], cars [from traditional big autos] with ADAS features are objectively safer, and,

b) Tesla Autopilot is [in traditional sense] an ADAS system, which,

c) [implies this set of facts alone make Tesla cars and implementations statistically safer] is cool, huh? Would be silly if you didn’t agree with me.

I don’t call it clever.
You are missing the point. ...We have imaged Black Holes galaxies away, detected Gravitational waves from the other side of the Universe, landed on the Moon.

But to this day, nobody knows what data your system telemetries to Microsoft. Not the data they talk about in the 5-10 page license. Instead, the data mentioned in the 55 page doc about what you agree to send them, that they refer to from the MS Software License...
Could someone decrypt this for me? The article just restates the same thing 3 times without actually explaining to me, a person who doesn't care about racing and can't tell if Verstappen is a person or a car company or both. Also why or why not passing someone is not winning a race.
Distracted human drivers are terrible. People, in general, are easily and eagerly distracted. Otherwise the distance per accident driven would be much much higher. https://insideevs.com/news/542336/tesla-miles-driven-between...
How could Tesla hide something that happens on public roads?

If a tesla is at-fault, there’s another non-tesla party in the accident and police and dmv usually involved.
That argument is bullshit built on aggregate Tesla Autopilot miles driven, which are largely cherry-picked ideal condition miles vs. human miles driven in all conditions.
Only as a nitpick, they don't look like folding rulers to me, they seem like normal (non-folding) rod/staff of the kind often used in topography.

It would be dangerous to point one of those at someone's nose, a wrong movement or an accidental push and an eye could be seriously harmed.

Okay, well, I'm biased because I literally make a SaaS starter kit/boilerplate based on Node.js and Vue called Nodewood: https://nodewood.com/

I built it from Node.js and Vue because I knew them very well and found that they made it very easy to do the kind of work I wanted to. Even still, there was still a lot of extra stuff I had to set up each time, like the basic scaffolding, user authentication, subscription payments, teams/permissions, etc. Once I started building myself a re-usable version, I realized I could add a bit more rigour and sell it, as well.

So that would be my choice.

But if you strongly prefer other languages, there are other great boilerplates out there as well:

- SaaS Pegasus, if you like Python (https://www.saaspegasus.com/)
- Laravel Spark, if you like PHP (https://spark.laravel.com/)
- Bullet Train, if you like Ruby (https://bullettrain.co/)

I think low-code, like a good boilerplate, outperforms no-code if you're building anything that needs to scale beyond simple built-in functionality. Once you need to do something the no-code app doesn't let you do, you're faced with a pretty uncomfortable choice between rebuilding the whole thing from scratch or figuring out some ugly hack to bolt on the functionality you need.

If you use Lazarus, building an app (I just did one) took less than 2 minutes from reading your question, to having an EXE (under 3 megabytes) that shows a form with a button, and when you click the button, says "Hello, World"

Command line programs in free pascal turn out even smaller. The exe files for this years advent of code for me are about 300-700k.

Lazarus also runs on my Raspberry Pi Zero W (the old one), which only has 512mb of RAM and a 16GB sd Card.
>> Right now I’m stuck on an aspect of Django. Django is a Python module. When I want to add another module to modify how Django behaves I need to override in my code. It’s all too complicated to imagine for me. Example, adding wiki pages to django by adding django-wiki module, then adding tags to the wiki pages by adding danio-tagulous. I know this is some kind of class override, but I just can’t imagine it.

The risk/benefit calculation depends on where you live and/or plan to travel. I fear I'm beginning to forget what life was like before Covid, but IIRC people used to travel quite a lot.

For example, Japanese encephalitis is rare in Japan, but only because many Japanese people have been vaccinated against it. It's endemic in most other parts of east, southeast, and south Asia. It kills 10K+ people every year, and it spreads through mosquito bites just like malaria. But most travelers only worry about malaria.
