In fact no. It actively monitors driver attention with a camera. If you close your eyes or look down at your phone for more than a few seconds, the car will shriek at you, lock you out of autopilot for the drive[1], and if you don't take manual control will bring the vehicle to a stop. Recent versions have in fact been tuned to be too sensitive and people have been complaining about false positives.

I do wish people would spend some time actually investigating how this system works before pontificating about it. It's not done. But it's far, far closer to done than you seem to want to believe.

[1] And after three such events kick you out of the beta program entirely.
At this point, companies should just suck it up, hire (more) real human moderators, and deal with the spam manually.

The biggest problem with fact checking sites is that they equate having insufficient evidence with being false. It’s like a claim in the ‘00s that the Government was spying on Americans. A fact checker would say false but we just had insufficient evidence to prove it… until Snowden came along.
It’s not pedantic.

EMI “teleporting” outside of wires is a real world issue that engineers deal with constantly. FCC certification is almost entirely about this phenomenon.

It’s just told in a confusing controversial way.
This sort of thing should be more of a motivation to move away from platforms like facebook than the privacy issues. Imagine giving a company the ability to cut you off from your friends, delete entire records of conversations that you had with them, your photos and memories, random connections made which could have influenced your life in the future etc. All on a whim or the result of a glitch or mistake, but providing no means of recourse.

It needs to be much easier for people to store and publish their own pictures, contact lists, dates, connections, life events etc so that it can't all just be taken away at a moment's notice.

Your hypothecation doesn't match my experience.

The prodigy at High will come across as a prodigy: not only will they have the better GPA, they're also more likely to have the nice "extra factors" that play well in admissions--class valedictorian, leadership in student council or maybe other clubs, etc. By contrast, the mediocrity at Academy has a worse GPA, and is unlikely to get nice statuses in those other extracurricular activities (who will be snatched up by the prodigies at Academy). So for the mediocrity at Academy to be marked as better, the admissions officer has to know of Academy and its reputation... and that's less common than you might think, even for the most-highly-ranked exemplars of Academy.

The other factor to bring up is that mediocrities at Academy are often competing against the prodigies at Academy; many schools don't want to admit too many people from Academy and will have a cap on the number of admissions.

[Yes, I did go to such an Academy, so I have some personal experience on the matter.]
And no pesky criteria to hamper their desire to admit the children of the 1% either.
Maybe? Not sure it matters either way? I think the conclusion in both ways is: satire confuses people and it'd be good to mark it.
Yeah, this is what im wondering. The proposed mechanism for this is that the wires generate electric fields that influence electrons remotely. Fine.

What happens when they are not close enough for any meaningful electric field interaction?
Hence my question: what in this current "Silicon Generic Location" plan is the strategy to get the investors required for such a company to be founded?

It would set a bad example, but not a legal precedent.
A follow-up question: would there be no tiny change in the graph if the wires exiting the battery were further away from the wires immediately entering the light bulb?

Where's the line then? What could they "force" me to sign and what couldn't they, in your opinion?
You can solve this without layers on the Moonlander, or any keyboard that allows you to load your own firmware.

For instance, you could configure your number keys to have a "press and hold" generate the corresponding F key. The 'hold' doesn't have to be very long to still easily distinguish it from "normal" typing.

You could also make it a key combo very easily. Anyone who doesn't like key combos should take up a war against !@#$%^&*()+_?:<>{} and their friends.

This is the part where the (A)GPL constrains the rights of its users. Requiring user A to give user B more liberal licensing is constraining the rights of A for the benefit of B. Even if you think it's the "right" way, it's still a constraint.
An IQ test is just another form of standardized test, isn't it?
You can explain this experiment just by utilizing basic transmission line theory (which is not a simplification per se: transmission line theory is just the observation that you can easily derive the behavior of E and M fields for some conductor geometries, like in Veritasium's video).

The long wires act as transmission lines with an easily calculated impedance of ~1 kΩ. When you close the switch, you generate a pulse - a very broadband AC signal - which starts to travel around the circuit. While the pulse is traveling in the line, the line's inputs see the line impedance. So you get the car battery in series with 2x the line impedance in series with the impedance of the light bulb. This directly tells you the amplitude you're going to see near-instantly at the light bulb. Light bulbs are usually low-impedance (e.g. a 10 W, 12 V light has a hot resistance of around 14 Ω), so you're only going to see a tiny pulse on the light bulb. After the pulse has traveled the length of the line and back the impedance seen across the line inputs is the short at the end in series with the conductors resistance of the line itself; in a heavily mismatched setup you're going to see some more reflections going back and forth, this causes the stair-stepped rise over multiple bounces when you do this experiment with "realistic" values.

It's basically a slightly unconventional TDR - time-domain reflectometry - setup.
It's kind of like a lot of one-hit wonder bands. They may have a lot of really good songs but it all gets overshadowed by their mega hit song so people rarely get to hear it.

Most Millenials know the song, "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger, for instance, but how many people know "Problems and Bigger Ones" off of the same album, or "Jack the Lion"?

"Closing Time" by Semisonic is in the same vein, but on the same album is, "Secret Smile", "Singing in my Sleep" and "Gone to the Movies". Great songs that can totally stand on their own but most people hear the hit, enjoy it, and move on, never realizing how much musical depth they're missing.
My Dad starred in an epic flop which ironically got raves from John Simon, a much-feared theater critic for New York Magazine. Unfortunately, his positive review was not enough to rescue the play, which promptly closed after (I think) 2 or maybe 3 performances.

Actors need to grow an iron hide. My pop went on to have a decent career with small parts in big movies, bigger roles in some low-budget films, and a few commercials to pay the bills. The writer of the flop, Tom La Bar, was my dad's mate in the Marine Corps. They lived interesting lives.

What does that mean? The fact that a currency depreciation can result in higher GDP, doesn't mean it has to. The Turkish lira has been steadily depreciating against every major currency since 2007 and yet Turkey's real GDP is now below its 2007 level. Its current account balance has not only not improved but it's got worse. Nothing suggests that, as a general rule, countries have "strong incentives" to weaken their currencies.

Agree, but what are we replacing it with if we're "just skipping it"? Extracurriculars? Are those also not "waste of everyone's time"?
> You might tell a friend “you’re a 10” but when was the last time you told someone you respect “you’re ugly.”

Once a year? Men and Women don't have as big a problem with this as you might think, because relative unattractiveness is not talked about casually. Especially when someone is dating, relative attractiveness comes up regularly. You tend to have honest discussions with people you respect.
> If you haven't used a language before

This just feels like gatekeeping. I like nim, I've used it, talked to Dom and the author a few times in chat, filed some small bug reports. But even if I hadn't, I'd still hate the case insensitivity; I'm an experienced developer and I don't need to have used a language to know I will like or dislike some aspect of it.
Apple does bringup of their chips with Linux. I've heard that they run that before they ever boot Darwin.

In such a scenario, with wind turbines, you could take the risk and keep them running; even if a few end up breaking up as a consequence, it's no big deal. You cannot do that with nuclear.
this is exactly the white savior crap that much of the world hates from the US

How do you have information that he's white, or even American? I couldn't see anything like that in his profile. I read it as the voice of someone in Taiwan asking for help.

And then the gall to suggest _Ohio, the Mojave, and Alaska_. Bit on the nose, don't you think?

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Can you elaborate for the rest of us?

Most of your comment comes off as just anti-American sentiment, but zero actual information or discussion of the topic at hand.
If your name (that you aren't actively using) actually infringes on a trademark of theirs, they probably can. Now they might prefer paying a bit to the hassle of forcing you, so you could ask, but overall trying to drag it out is probably just wasting your time and money. (For more definitive answer, ask a lawyer, but think about if spending the money on said lawyer is even worth it to you)
In the video he explains that the "faster than light" effect happens due to the magnetic field traveling through air (because the light bulb is so near by). At least that's how I understood it; and hence my question about changing the position.

> Please please be careful when reasoning from cherry picked data.

The very fact that you are able to cherry-pick failure cases from a mere fleet of 23k cars means the system is by no means ready.

In fact, you/Tesla/everyone involved should encourage people to "try your best to cherry-pick failure cases". What you are advocating is the opposite of being responsible (let's try to ignore the failure cases and focus on when it works!)

>For sure the most fun I've had behind the wheel in 25 years of licensed driving.

I'm sorry but the amount of "fun" you have behind the wheel is not remotely close to being a success criteria for a system named "full self driving".
The upside is they found it. They didn't try to cover it up, it didn't blow up or anything. There will be issues in any complex installation even with the best of planning, what matters is how you deal with those.
Yes, just based on that it should go up, but there's a huge difference about it increasing at 0.5% per annum and 1.5% per annum, and it's not going to go up monotonically, which is the difference between your long run graph and the latest BLS announcement.

In certain situations, when an economy is mismanaged, it will go down for prolonged periods of time, but again one year changes are not a significant trend. But this article about worker pay and inflation is not about long term trends, but recent (since 2020) trends.
Thank you, appreciate it!

FWIW I _have_ written actual code in the libraries too :) I wrote React-Redux v7 by myself, shepherded the design of our hooks API in 7.1, and did all the coding work for v8. Also created Redux Toolkit, added a couple additional APIs, and a bunch of other stuff :)

Delta was already "within the realms of" the flu. Omicron so far appears to have shot past that and is on its way to a cold.
well rabbitmq is really really hard to setup correctly and stuff like priority, time based scheduling are not that much easier than rabbitmq.
in fact a queue adds more complexity and it is not necessary until you outscale your database. not saying that rabbitmq might be a better fit, it's just not a good fit to start with.
if you have a small team < 8 it's better to stay with as few things as possible and especially with things you know (well).

The number of attractive ugly people I have met in my life, is under 10, but not 0. Some of it was personality, some of it was an intangible/nonverbal bond. I've had a LTR with more than one of them.

I ended up marrying someone who was both physically attractive (overall) and had a compatible personality. This is not the same thing as having an overwhelmingly attractive personality.
Why wouldn't a simpler explanation be that the wires produce a radio/electromagnetic wave and that wave gets picked up and induces a current, which is how radio transmitters receivers work?
None. They have no plan. That's honestly the answer. They don't want to make the challenging cultural and social mindset change required to produce a genuine competitor to Silicon Valley. In fact I would guess that they most likely don't even have the most basic idea of what is different about the Silicon Valley.
You're absolutely right, compared to VS Code or Sublime Text, Xcode is much slower to open a large project. It's a fixed cost of about five - ten extra seconds for me, once it's open it is fast to navigate

As far as encryptions and data go I just echo that "not your drive, not your data" remains true and that encryption is not going to stop a cloud provider from deleting your encrypted content.

It turns out you can achieve both social justice and a powerful alumni donation base -- er, competent educated elite -- simply by admitting the top 1% of each race by income. Who knew? If you're Harvard, you can do good AND do well!
Just an anecdote: when my rental SUV was broken into in Sunnyvale a couple of years ago, when I called it in to DPS, the dispatcher literally laughed at me and said, "yeah, we get break-ins in that lot every day!"

For locals, this was the lot by St. John's. It's a retail strip with parking on one side, with only two entrances/exits to its private roadway. It would be trivial to use a bait vehicle and block both exits completely out of sight from most of that main lot. It's never been tried, to my knowledge (nothing in the media or social media to that effect).
Ethereum, at least?
They only did it after being pressured by the same people that are now saying they should not have done it. It doesn't matter what they do at this point. They will come out as the bad guys regardless.

To add some others:

Physics Explained is great physics channel that doesn't shy away from math, with derivations of many fundamental equations. His most recent one deriving the Chandrasekhar limit on white dwarf stars from relatively basic physics is great!

The Efficient Engineer is a really good one for clear concise explanations of mechanical engineering principles.
This is fantastic for relatively low volume queues with intensive work to be done by a small number of workers. For these types of use cases, I'll take this approach over RabbitMQ or Kafka all day long.

But once you get even just up to say, 40 messages per second with 100 worker processes, you're now up to 4000 updates per second just to see which worker got to claim which job, and up from there becomes untenable.
Not really. You could do the same by having different organisational units being responsible for different libraries. And the final monolith being minimum glue code combined with N libraries. Basically the same way your code depend on libraries from other vendors/OSS maintainers.
> I'm an introvert. I don't need humans 24/7. I need them more than zero, though.

Like the other poster, I'm in my 40's. I'm an introvert as well.

What has the pandemic taught me?

I always had the attitude "I don't need anybody." Single, no kids, no friends because I told myself that. And how wrong I was. Even that occasional interaction - even passing - with a stranger on the street was something I didn't realize. So I too, despite all the b.s. I wanted to tell myself, learned I need them "more than zero" as you put it.

Having no human contact outside of work has severely hurt my attitude toward life.
That's more or less what I said, except a lot more nuanced.

>> People expecting OBS to get millions from this are naïve.

IANAL but copyright violation has already happened. Due to our insane lobbyists the penalties for that are something like $150K per copy. If/when some copyright holder wants to make an example and get rich instead of settling for compliance, they should be quite able to do so. I would love to see a big evil company smacked down like that.

>> If OBS wants money they should use a dual license.

That's just an opinion.
Journalism acts as a corpus labelling process for the slow AI that is society, also that most companies have an internal labelling process (we will trust these inputs from outside, and we inherently trust anything internal) - this also needs a rethink (ie that companies will need to have trust in incoming data whether internal or external and that labelling will need to become more explicit.
The thing that is most curious in this tempest in a teacup is why didn't Veritasium film this experiment themselves. It isn't particularly complicated or expensive setup, so it seems something that he definitely could have done. Instead he chose to leave the door open for the controversy that followed.
Harvard’s primary admission criteria is “will this person write us giant checks in 20 years?” It’s a solid business model that’s worked for longer than the USA has existed. Legacies and athletes are the most reliable donors which is why they get an admission preference. Dispensing with testing makes it much easier to grow the endowment. Being able to justify it with the diversity fad is, frankly, smart. And if there’s one thing Harvard is, it’s smart.
would be interesting to know the total size of the program including deps

sounds extremely tight given the functionality
I'm now 58, I got sick last March, and have (it seems, there is no definitive test) Long Covid. Going grocery shopping is all the activity I can handle for a day. I started out resting, and hoping to get better... somewhere along the line I started to accept this as my new really bad normal.

I am now faced with jumping back into the world of software development, at 58. Things have changed since my last full time programming job. Windows 3.1 and Delphi aren't the hot ticket any more. ;-)

On the plus side, GIT and GitHub are awesome. Saving source code to sequentially numbered zip files on floppy disks, every time I made a big change, sucked!
But you get these twitter threads that are highly missleading. Would be great to have some quality control at some point.

This doesn't make real engineers look good in the eyes of the public. Same thing with medical profesionnals spreading anti-vaxx news around.
> Tesla's case seems weak here, in that it relies on an extremely narrow interpretation of the law,

To be clear: there is no case, nor has Tesla tried to make one. The linked article is an opinion essay by an academic in the field. The CA DMV hasn't said anything.

For myself: I'd argue that we have ~23k FSD beta vehicles on US roads now that have been driving for 3-4 months and that if we're really concerned about the safety of the system (vs. getting into semantic arguments about the statute language of some random law) we should just go get the data and see. By my math that's going to be something in the tens of millions of miles now. That should be well above the noise floor.
Basically the average person hears it and thinks "smartest/best for the job objectively" which sounds fine, but in practice is often shorthand for "prestigious is better" aristocracy. One of those things where there are multiple levels of interpretation talking past each other.
That's fairly intuitive. The lower current being present before the signal arrives is not intuitive.
Too bad Ctrl+F doesn't work.
Azul is popular in low latency financial services. A usecase might be to reduce the variance that JIT compilation introduces to transaction latency, especially at the high percentiles.
This [1] is a screenshot I just took from the "build your vehicle" section of Tesla's website. It took me one click, and scrolling down one page, to get to this point.

How is that "burying the actual functionality"? It's right there!

I can follow the argument on how FSD does not fall under the law because of its requirement for driver attention. I do wonder how much water that holds, but that is for another thread.

What I'm curious about is what you mean by "done". You mean an autonomous Tesla that can drive without human supervision? Is Tesla close to that in your view? On what type of roads?
