I'm Czech. I'm really not aware of any "efforts to ban encryption", and given our history with the StB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StB), local population really wouldn't react well to that. I just don't see any possible parliament composition willing to pass a law along any such lines.
The power-on screen for teslas should be required by law to show checkboxes:

[ ] "YOU are the beta-test of all features including collision avoidance when using this vehicle"

[ ] "YOU will be used to detect bugs before they can be fixed, including collisions at high speed"

Because these things are assumed in a non-computerized car but the opposite when it's "gee-whiz".

If your phone app crashes well you just reboot the phone. If the car has a bug, you crash and you reboot.
This is not a significant risk factor. It’s the naïve model: “they use water, therefore they will be in trouble if water becomes scarce”. However through recycling to reuse, the net use is low enough to not be a significant risk factor.

Think about it. They’re building a massive plant. This is a basic input factor. What model of the world reconciles the idea that these guys are very good at making semiconductors for decades but unable to model changes in the input factors over that period? Does that model sound like the highest probability model to explain their behavior?
Any plan to add support for Remote Development, similar to what VS Code and Jetbrains Gateway offer?
I have a few Fire Sticks that I got on sale. I installed Kodi on them. They read from a NAS that I also have that serves files via SMBv1/CIFS. It's super easy to stream music and movies locally now.

Your story is very similar to mine (linkedin.com/in/mbutlitsky), I feel you )

I never had a CS degree, and never had any questions about it. May be because I was filtered out initially.

Regarding current skills — I took a strong position of "better to have smart guy with wide industry background and understanding business side, and who can quickly dive into whatever stack you have, than average CS degree developer who's only professional experience is X years of Y" which is true, nowodays diverse background worth much more than CS degree itself, you just need to invest some time explaining to hiring managers why.

And of course tune your CV and your story to focus on your achievements and strong sides as an engineer.
I don't understand how this didn't make the front-page, it's absolutely mind-blowing. Or am I missing something and it's not that much of a revolution?
The usual route is becoming irrelevant. Windos failed to achieve relevance in mobile and cloud, and desktops become less relevant every day. If at some point you don't need MS to do excel anymore, MS becomes irrelevant there, too.

There are still Burroughs, Univac, and Honeywell computer companies, in a way, but they attract no attention.
Ok I’m no Tesla fan.

Wow. I don’t know how anything without night vision wouldn’t have hit that. It’s practically invisible.

I think it was a huge mistake for Tesla to remove radar from their vehicles but radar isn’t very good on stationary objects so not much help here.

This must have been terrifying to be there for.
There are many a projects who go open source when they fail. The extra step here is IA would become the A record for the project (at least temporarily?)
I mean when the Alcubierre drive was first theorized it required gas giant planet sized mass energy to work and refinements to the theory have gotten that down to something reasonable so I would be interested to see what problems can be worked around with further research.

As for type III civilizations, my guess is they would think of it as a toy as the speculation about type III has them doing stuff like harvesting stars on mass for use in stellar engines and galactic scale engineering projects.
This is true, studies have shown sharing an incomplete goal reduces your focus and motivation, as if you’ve already achieved it.
96% of all deaths in America, the person ate potatoes within the last 4 days.

Because we eat lots of potatoes. Correlation only.
To me the biggest issue is that there doesn't seem to have been any braking attempt, even at very close distance. Even if it was imperfect or hard to see at a distance, I would expect to see the 75mph reduced even slightly before impact. Every speed reduction is a statistical increase in surviving a crash.
For that matter, while a city like Boston in the Northeast is expensive, you can drive or take a train less than an hour and be in towns where there are decent houses to be had for a few hundred thousand dollars. (Yes, there are expensive towns too.)
Isn’t this the kind of situation where the autopilot is meant to slam your brakes on and make you think it’s magic?
Yes, and your human eyes have far better dynamic range than these cameras. Plus, I could tell there was something in the road early on despite the truck not being illuminated, because I saw the oncoming headlines disappearing behind an obstruction.

Really shows how Tesla has probably made a big mistake going all-in on camera only vision. And their vision system couldn't make the inference of an obstruction based on the oncoming headlights.

Lidar would have been able to detect this easily.
Remember that you need to assume that every counterparty is an asshole in anything real estate, and everyone who isn’t your attorney has a grift.

You can use underpricing as a tool to hide problems with the house. If you have a lot of offers with what is a closed auction, you control the flow of the process and avoid learning things that have to be disclosed.

If you “suspect” that you may have mold, foundation problems, lead paint, asbestos, or other problems, you can use the offer flow to cherry pick bidders who don’t demand inspections or cash bidders who don’t have a bank or other party looking for due diligence. Your real estate agent may want to steer business to preferred partners for kickbacks or to ensure that certain home inspectors get used.
thanks for clarifying, I was indeed assuming you were a software developer speaking about software development. Obviously, the nature of the work, even within a given field, is a huge factor in the suitability of remote/in-person work.
Terraform Labs: SEC lacks jurisdiction to compel cooperation in investigation
I use vim in Windows Terminal as my daily driver, and the terminal definitely treats ligatures as separate characters (taking up multiple character widths, you edit the characters one at a time, etc). I'm mildly curious what editor doesn't, because that would lend significantly greater creedance to the article's arguments.
That is sick, gonna play around with it!
AI and the auteur: using neural networks as artistic tools
We've written an article detailing the creation of a very specific kind of AI art, which was designed to mimic an artist’s preexisting style. We used machine learning along the way to achieve some the desired (and really cool, in our opinion) effects. The works have been internationally-exhibited, we're pleased with the results, and plan to continue moving forward in this direction. Please check it out!
Maybe you could. https://twitter.com/TAndersen_nSCIr/status/14733171491712000...

Tom Andersen:
Your eyes have much wider brightness range than any video camera ever made, and many many times better than the $1 camera on a Tesla.

That is not a representation of what human eyes would see. It's a cheap video camera.
It should be as hard as humanly possible for them to intercept anything. They cannot be trusted with that power. They should have to literally move mountains in order to do it.
The way it was already accomplished previously: short addresses, which, although not easy, are possible to remember.

16 characters is doable, especially if it starts with 5-8 letters of word(s). 56 characters is not realistic.
This is a rather utopian take:

> Mescaline was “not yet the ideal drug.” Huxley noted that “along with the happily transfigured majority of mescaline takers there is a minority that finds in the drug only hell or purgatory.” However, he was confident that modern chemistry and physiology were capable of achieving practically anything “if the psychologists and sociologists will define the idea.”

A strictly utilitarian view of psychedelics outside the currently popular area of 'treating depression and other psychological disorders' is that they are useful for helping people who struggle with geometry enhance their 3D visualization skills, and for teaching classically trained musicians how to improvise over a chord progression, and so on.

As far as the 60s 'psychedelic revolution' it's rather overblown in my opinion. The acid-dropping hippies of the late 1960s seem to have become the coke-snorting yuppies of the 1980s, and in general the societal structures that existed before the 1960s still exist today, the only major noticeable change being the relatively increased participation of women and minorities in leadership positions at universities and corporations, which probably isn't attributable to psychedelic use. Other societal norms in the USA - advertising and consumerism, internal political divisions and external military aggression and widespread wealth inequality, remain basically the same as before if not actually more extreme. There's no 'ideal drug' that would solve these problems.

It might be fair to say that certain scientific and technological and artistic developments since the late 1960s psychedelic era began were spurred on by the use of psychedelics in many cases, however.
There’s little way to tell from the video.

Human eyes have much higher dynamic range than typical video cameras. What the video shows is not likely representative of what your eyes would have seen.
At this point it is very clear, to me, that anyone using FSD/Autopilot is risking their lives by trusting their lives on a beta, or perhaps even alpha product.

It has issues during the day, at night it is downright dangerous.

I do agree that while watching the video the stopped truck is not visible till very late and based just on the video it is not clear if a human would have done any better. However, I'm not sure we can make that call since it's not clear what the quality/aperture of the video is and what the human eye was able to see.

Still, even then, a human would have slammed the breaks or swerved to the right to a free lane and depending on how good the Tesla breaks are, I don't own one, it may have stopped/slowed down substantially.

EDIT:

I think some people are underestimating their reaction time. I have had a case, once in my life, where I was driving on a Freeway at ~65 mph, 87 N for those from the Bay Area, and due to the curving of the Freeway I did not see the traffic stopped in front of me in the left most lane. It was very similar to this, but while the freeway was curving. I did not slam the breaks, but swerved to the right lane, which very luckily for me was empty till I could slam the breaks. It was purely reflex action driven, no thinking was involved.

In this case there are two things:

- human eye can see farther at night than a camera as others have also noted.

- swerving would/could have prevented a head on collision since there was no traffic in the middle lane (though the stopped truck is occupying a bit of it) and would have hit the Tesla on the left side. Much better than a full head on collision.
Widespread apathy.

People less willing to work, vote, socialise, or just plain live.
I tried it in Visual Studio (not Code) once, and was disappointed by the experience. Perhaps they just got it wrong.

Now if only there are any proportional coding fonts with coding ligatures baked in :p.
Thanks for that data. I personally haven't run into any unsupported machines but I have since learned Microsoft's own machine (the laptop you mentioned) doesn't have the EFI driver. That's quite sad. I'm going to make some noise about this in back channels.
The problem with banning encryption or e2e encryption is that it doesn’t solve anything. Criminals/terrorists will move to a chat app/service that offers e2e encryption no matter if it’s legal or not. It just means that the major players such as facebook, microsoft, google, apple etc can’t offer it so the only one left hanging is the law abiding masses.
Tesla pulled down prices for the Roadster and took down the Founder's Edition
The Cybersecurity Stories We Were Jealous of in 2021
>people were happy with the way it was

Apparently not because the OS has always been able to do this. They're just not happy because the OS has now chosen something that they disagree with. Ignorance of the limitations is not the same as being "happy with the way it was" even if ignorance is bliss.

>written specifically to output to the Decklink

With the DeckLink specifically, yes. That's a choice made by Blackmagic, though. There are other I/O devices that let you output any window's content (like OBS does with its virtual cameras).
Keep in mind the human eye is very good at detecting low level lighting, better than a camera. Some studies say it can even detect a single photon. It was likely easier to see in person.

I don't care. I don't want a call from telemarketers, whether or not it's a robocall.
This specific car has multiple laser vision cameras that detect objects from long distances, supposedly even at night.
I counted three seconds from noticing the truck to hitting it. Three seconds of braking is a lot more than zero
> “I am profoundly mistrustful of the ‘pure gifts of the Gods.’ You pay very dearly for them,” Jung warned [...] As for Huxley, he was described by Jung as a “Zauberlehrling,” a sorcerer’s apprentice who has learned how to call on ghosts but does not possess the knowledge needed to control them.

This is a thought provoking section. On the one hand I have the utmost respect for psychedelics and their liberating potential against repressive socio-economic psychological mechanisms etc.

On the other hand, being in my mid-thirties I'm starting to realize that a lot of the destructive behavior of my closest friends and family might ultimately trace back to prolonged use of psychoactive substances including psychedelics like mescaline and psilocybin.

I grew up seeing these drugs as non addictive harmless and spiritually enlightening. But there is no doubt in my mind based on my observations that they weaken the perceptual connection with the every day world and ones relationships with other people, at least when done for prolonged periods.

My friends and family who have been the most active users of psychedelics have had their post-adolescent lives plagued by divorce, alienation from friends, misguided career decisions and have made them easily distracted and often hurtful insensitive people who seem to have a perennial inability to empathize with others or feel emotional remorse.

Ultimately the heavy users of psychedelics I am closest with seem like they have become docile bodies with a diminished capacity for critical thought that fit very neatly into an abusive capitalist society that wants them to endlessly chase fame and fortune while remaining addicted to over-stimulating digital media. And its hard to believe thats what Huxley and the intellectuals of his generation would have wanted.

Im not sure how I feel about psychedelics anymore, I just know that they've trapped a lot of people I love more than they've liberated them. At least in their later years.
The truck still blocks the view of headlights of the traffic in the other lane. It also blocked view of the lights of the right-lane truck near the end. I don't know what the state of the art is like, but humans can tell something is "off" up ahead when they see this kind of "disappearing headlights" pattern.

In any case, the tweet claims there was no braking of any kind, and I'd expect braking at least in the split second before the crash, where the truck is visible to the camera.
> They have experience in the tech stack of their position.

You're going to severely and needlessly limit your candidate pool with this. Hire people that are looking to learn and grow, and they will pick up whatever stack you're using. Investing in your employees' growth will pay for itself many times over.

I agree with the other three points, though they're mostly a variation on the same idea :)
F# is a ML/OCaml with solid concurrent and parallel programming features and has been multiplatform since Microsoft released .Net Core 1.0 in 2016.
I see some inconsistency perhaps but wouldn't call it hypocrisy--only a difference in opinion. The general public view is to refrain from consuming very intelligent/cute/young animals off the top of my head. If anything that's a result of applying human emotion/logic to the animals which doesn't seem to be such a bad thing. So much is a grayscale, it's not purely binary where cruelty to the smallest individual insect is the same as to any more complex creature. I'm not saying it's right only that it varies. 'Treehuggers' care for their trees and look down upon those who don't treat them like the animals. Where does all this 'equality' get us?

If a foreigner has an argument I believe we want to ear it, maybe we refutate it, maybe it improves our understanding.

It is happening here in France, the woke totalitarism has penetrated our universities, we're removing statues too, and soon will also be burning books just like on the other side of the Atlantic ... Unless next elections put a stop to that.
The only thing that 'excites' me in DragonflyBSD is their HammerFS - which works and its OK - but its not as usable and simple as manipulating ZFS with zfs(8) and zpool(8) commands ...

Besides that I do not see anything special on DragonflyBSD ... I have read that they have very sophisticated and fast SMP implementation ... but a lot things just are absent there - like on OpenBSD land. No virtualization for example ... while FreeBSD has *VirtualBox* and *Bhyve* and *Xen DOM0* ...

*WINE* probably does not work (or does not work well) as last WINE commits for DragonflyBSD are from almost a decade ago:

- https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=search&h=HEAD&st=c...

FreeBSD also has *VNET Jails* while DragonflyBSD only has 'classic' Jails.

FreeBSD comes with GEOM for storage which is just great - https://is.gd/bsdstg - more here. I myself also wrote *lsblk(8)* implementation for FreeBSD - this is also missing on DragonflyBSD.

Hope that helps.
Do you want spammers contributing code to the spam filters? If not, then how do you prevent it?
To be fair trading money for sex is what the world's oldest trade is, whereas trading money simply for conversation is somewhat different. It fulfills a different need, one that would traditionally be filled by marriage and family. With those less popular(or accessible) than ever, prostitution ends up fulfilling that niche instead
Fun is maybe not quite the word I'd use. The juxtaposition of all the wording about "defense" and menacing-looking characters that would definitely be the villain and not the hero in any comic book or movie is... unsettling. Even if it's a self-aware joke about their public image (like the squid giving the whole Earth the hug of death), it's maybe gone a bit too far?
How are files stored ultimately? Something like Arweave or Filecoin?
I didn't mean they aren't, but said not as much as TSMC.
TSMC has already announced US, Japan new Fabs and China fab expension. They are also discussing with Germany and India govt.
Aha, that is why pickup trucks are so popular in US!

Utility trailers are not very popular? Over here in Sweden that is the go-to answer rather than buying a special purpose cargo car.

If it’s anything like space telescopes there are more than 3 spectral filters that can be selected which rules out a static Bayer-type filter system.
Speaking of fortran, one thing that annoys me in Fira Code actually is that /= renders as some weird thing, rather than "does not equal."

And of course it has no chance of understanding .ne. but that's fine.

In LaTeX lstlisting you can sometimes get weird little underlines to explicitly show spaces in code. It looks pretty bad!

I almost want a font that draws l as a lower case cursive l, although I guess it is probably better not to fix this problem as somebody out there will have a font that mixes them up.
> I found myself spending time wondering "what characters is this made of?", and "how do I type THAT?" when viewing some existing code, and "WTF is this?" when a ligature that would have likely made sense in Ruby or Haskell (or in APL?) made it into my Perl code.

I guess everyone's got their thing, but on that paragraph I have to say my experience with ligature'd fonts in programming has led me to wonder the same thing... never.

I don't say this over some love of them; I'm fickle and change fonts about quarterly; some with ligatures some not, but I can't think of a single instance of WTF or actual confusion.
Also knowing Italy, nobody checks. Really.

I took a plane from Italy to Greece a couple of months ago: completely vaccinated and with the Passenger Locator Form ready.

Nobody, literally nobody, checked in a reliable way wheter:

- we had a valid COVID Certificate

- our PLF was filled correctly

The only moment during my trip where anyone checked was at Starbucks.

This doesn't mean that you are entitled to lie to the border control agents though.
Visibility of the stopped truck aside, one could see even in the non-compressed version of the video how the truck obscures headlights of on-coming vehicles. Human drivers can pick up on that contextual information to see that something might be there to obscure the light even if it's not clearly visible on its own.
I know too much about computer and software to trust any driving auto pilot. Heck, even normal adaptive cruise control makes me very nervous.
I was involved with planning https://nlnet.nl/project/SoftwareHeritage-P2P/ for just this reason --- hopefully we will finally be able to start work on it sometime too far off.

Indeed the real challenge of archival is not loosing the stuff, by making sure that people can still find the stuff. "Orphaned" information that no one knows exists, or is bothering to interact with, isn't that valuable compared to resources that are actively being used and still "live" in the culture.

Of course, the archive can never serve the same amount of bandwidth, but the goal is a) interested parties can mirror the stuff they care about in a higher bandwidth / item way after some huge disruption c) random viewers never notice something going down, nor who is serving the info, but just a temporary drop in connection quality.

Ultimately, location-based addressing is a stupid way to run society, needlessly fragile by baking in very property claims (IPs, DNS, etc.) that are incidental to the task at hand. Content-based addressing, with location based hints to avoid trying to solve really hard problems all at once, is the only way to make culture more robust.
I love all the other people saying that they wouldn't have been able to avoid it, but the many people who were actually driving on the road managed that just fine.
One of Huxley's fiction books, Island, is a thought experiment about the choices a very explicitly spiritual (Buddhist in origin) society would take. Among other things the coming of age ceremony involves taking a small dose of psilocybin.
In Germany you can. I am sure that's true for many regions. However, the granted protection status doesn't last as long as full vaccination.
Worst thing I ever did was cross hard mount NFS volumes across two machines.

With a hard NFS mount, the mount will hang until the other machine responds.

When we had to power cycle the two servers, they would not come up as they were deadlocked waiting for each other. That was exciting.
