Yes they have been doing aesthetic decisions since a while.

What started out with "simple" image stabilizations, noise filtering etc. has long become a pipeline of "apply AI magic onto the image which makes it how people think it should look" (instead of how it actually looks).

Like making the sky much more bluer then it is.

Or edges much sharper then anything such a camera could see (or sometimes especially in combination with digital zoom anything a human with sharp healthy eyes could see).

And in case of image stabilization one thing you tend to turn is to take multiple pictures in a row and interpolate. Like some pictures with leafs "besides" the head and some with them behind the head. And then "magic" the head becomes the leaf.

Oflow "glitches" are some of the most fun things in image processing, and definitely my favorite render glitches. When it works, it's amazing. When it doesn't, it's also just as amazing, but in a different manner.
One impact this will have is to lengthen the already-long repair delays that Tesla owners have to deal with.

It's not wrong. It's just that car buying is as much emotional decision making as it is rational.

I buy and ride motorcyles. I drive a car as well. By almost every measurable metric, the car is superior. Better braking, better turn speeds, better inclement weather handling, better protection against the elements, better cargo capacity, and I'm far better off in a car during a crash.

I still like bikes better. In part because there's a thrill in doing something needlessly stupid and dangerous; there's a joy in knowing that you're one just a single tiny mistake away from being killed or worse. When you're seeing the grey blur of pavement half an inch away from your elbows and knees, or the blur of a stone wall promising to quite literally rip your arm off at the shoulder if you dare get any closer. There is nothing else like it in the world.

You can't exactly put something like that in a spec sheet or mark it as a KPI though. For many Tesla owners there probably are dozens of defects and problems, but all of them you're willing to ignore because of an intangible affection. It doesn't make them wrong, it just means that their priorities are different then someone that might care more for something else.
Seems typical for Boston Dynamics, heavy on marketing, light on detail, everything is awesome, no mention of customers. I'll bet they can program the movements of several robots and set it all to music, everything is cool when you're part of a team.
It is actually 100 percent the consumer's responsibility to guarantee that they are using only things made under safe conditions.

For instance, if the packets you sent over the Internet to post your comment traveled over equipment manufactured in unsafe conditions, you are acting unethically.
Also, "recall" sounds like the cars have to physically move back to the factory. Reality: I took 10 sec to schedule a visit from a Mobile Technician who'll do the work in my driveway while I go on living my life.

Big non-issue.

Sorry dude but your comments on this thread are the standard Apple-hater stereotype, so forgive me for not believing you care. Where's the outrage about Playstations, XBoxes, Dells and Pixels made by Foxconn? Nowhere, because nobody cares when it isn't Apple.

There's never a demand that we change trade agreements at a political level. There's never a news story that Microsoft is sourcing from Foxconn. That makes the motives for the concern suspect.

By all means, we should hold Apple accountable to their word. But this seems like the absolute least effective way to enact the change being requested.
Cameras have never, ever been "accurate". It is not technologically possible to create a photograph that is "accurate". Cameras have always made big tradeoffs to output something that actually looks good to humans.
Terrific comment. Much appreciated.
As a Palm user it was a dream to get one that was also a phone and with physical keyboard and color screen. Before Blackberry and Iphone took off it was a power tool that felt like sci-fi, however briefly.

One could wirelessly, without Wifi, get directions, movie times, browse (most of) the web, and all the usual PDA stuff.

The easy way to tell types apart in ordinary JS is to have consistent naming conventions. If you always name things such that the name implies the type (not Hungarian style, but more natural language oriented), you can infer the type from the name correctly 90% of the time. E.g. always write arrays as plurals, map-like objects as keyToValue, and so on.

No thanks, not an easy way. instanceof and typing are the tools, not some funny notation that I have to rely on everyone to follow and parse, including me, under a pressure, after a year. Nobody can infer/assert types three modules away from a scope of their commit when it’s in the name.

But the easier answer is to just use Typescript.

Typescript is duck typed, you can’t save your day by “type Date = string” in it in a sense of a type safety. Nothing is wrong with object classes, apart from personal affinities accumulated from scary blog posts about classes in non-js languages and how that was bad. Objects have different types and different operarions on them. There is no clear reason to erase this difference and to evict methods only to group them into a scope and match by name manually, losing literally all benefits just for a functional swag.

Here’s where copyright and “IP” break down.

If I bought the system, I bought the code.

Functional expressions are not copyrightable. If I own a copy of the code you wrote, I am reasonably allowed to extract those purely functional expressions into my own work. Purely creative expressions are still protected by copyright. (This is why you cannot copyright an encryption key.)

When no “owner” exists, the licensing agreement is no longer valid. Copyright is a different issue. See above.

For the people is excellent propaganda, but it’s not rooted in a kind history, nor justification to spy on your own citizens without probable cause nor warrant to do so.

A small democracy can still be an illiberal democracy, and a large democracy can still be a liberal democracy. However the size of the democracy nor the probable liberalness of a democracy should serve as a grant for arbitrary power wielded on behalf of anyone, even “the people”.
If you're arguing that the energy usage of cryptocurrencies are justified because they provide security, that's a different argument than that they're equivalent to the energy usage from games.

They're not, those security guards you're hiring have an outsized impact on the environment. Argue that the impact is justified if you want, but don't pretend it doesn't exist or that it's comparable to the energy output of much larger systems that service more people.

Cryptocurrencies on proof-of-work chains use a massive amount of energy; when you break down the energy-to-output, it dwarfs other systems like traditional gaming. The argument that cryptocurrency energy usage is the same as gaming usage really kind of flies out the window when you say things like "energy is security."

I mean, that's a pretty big difference between cryptocurrency and gaming. In gaming, we don't feel better about the ecosystem or more secure specifically because we're spending more energy, the energy is not security for us.
I don't think blockchains meaningfully decentralize anything, the state still has a monopoly on force and anything they enable can be achieved in other ways and ultimately is bounded by the same state. The important bit is the interface between society and blockchains, the actual properties of the blockchain tech are kinda irrelevant.

Do you honestly think that Visa and Mastercard wanna prevent people from using their services to buy porn for example? They don't give a shit, they want money, the state, the people with the monopoly on force are the ones who create the circumstances that put that pressure on Visa and whoever else. If bitcoin mattered enough it would face the same fate (and I think it's clear that's the way it's headed). Crypto isn't somehow immune to the fact that we live in a society.

Mainly blockchain tech just provides a vehicle to obfuscate financial machinations. Much of the value of blockchain tech comes from it's viability as a financial tool that's abreast of regulations to prevent abuse. Broadly it's a zero or negative sum game, the value comes from other people losing value. We shouldn't allow systems like that.

How organized retail theft rings use Facebook Marketplace to sell stolen goods

Certainly. The effect happens with all luxury items, and the report suggests that other luxury brands are similarly grouped at the top (and similarly have reported reliability issues).

I don't follow this argument. If a copyright holder can earn money for their work for a fixed period of time, they can use that income to acquire things like property

Unless copyright holders are somehow prohibited from obtaining property or passing it on to their relatives I don't think that's a meaningful comparison

Wouldn’t looking at the RAW give insight on what’s happening here
The concern isn't the normal emergency items normally in the vehicle (airborne or other), it's the other stuff that normally wouldn't be there if there wasn't a decided intent to use it during the trip.

I'm very much into survival/preparedness, and am quite aware of gear that stereotypically one would, or would want to, take into a genuine survival situation but in no way would actually haul around on a regular basis for the unlikely chance of actually needing it - stuff that I would be quite suspicious of should the "victim" actually have handy.

For this case, many other comments here are startled about the presence of a full sport parachute, already being worn, during an ostensibly mundane "just traveling" trip ... along with wrist-mounted GoPro, selfie stick, etc.
Since 1966, hood latches are required to be redundant in US vehicles. That's why, when you pop the hood, it just opens a bit, and then you have to go and release a hook or something from the front. This is because, in 1950s cars, hoods flying up suddenly were a thing. Often followed by a crash.

Double latches are required by 47 CFR 571. "A front opening hood which, in any open position, partially or completely obstructs a driver's forward view through the windshield must be provided with a second latch position on the hood latch system or with a second hood latch system. "[1] That's from 1966.
In Teslas, the hood covers a storage space, and both both the primary and secondary latch are electrically controlled. It's not some big dumb spring-loaded hook. So it's higher risk for failure.

I had one of those: the 'EEE-PC 901'.

It was an excellent travelling machine. The screen, while not huge, was big enough for most work. Its weight was low enough that it wasn't a travelling issue.

I ran a Ubuntu Linux on it.
Yes, and of course there are exceptions. I bought a new Toyota 20 years ago that probably had worse rearward visibility than some of the Teslas that are being recalled.
Not that it matters a lot - but we've subtlety moved from total worldwide sales (Tesla) to US sales (Honda). 1.5M is a much smaller fraction of global sales for Honda (~a third).

It's true that the hype cycle around Tesla might unduly inflate the seeming significance of this. It's also true that this is unquestionably a very large, very significant recall.
Not as any kind of standard, or even a popular extension.

Sorry, but how is this NOT evil? "[G]eneral apathy of [someone] to [others]" IS my definition of evil. To me, evil is carrying out your will without (or against) the will of others regardless of the consequences. The only missing piece is that the level where society places that deed in the morality spectrum. Lawful evil is still evil.

Ask HN: Could my Facebook childhood memory be real?
I have been thinking about this vague memory lately. Somewhere between 2011 and 2013, I used to go on an application on Facebook called "Video Chat Rounds" (article: https://www.adweek.com/performance-marketing/video-chat-roun...). It was an app on which you could video chat with other Facebook users (basically the same thing as Omegle). It used to be an app on the Facebook platform.

Back in the day I was still a kid and thought it was pretty cool to see and talk to people all over the world. There is one thing that is bothering me. I have this memory that sometimes, after I had just been on the app and went back to my Facebook homepage, I was suddenly logged into a random Facebook account from a person I had never heard of before. As a kid, that felt really illegal and scared me.

Now, many years later, I am wondering whether this memory is something which really happened or which I made up. It seems very unlikely you could get logged in as another user (without entering any credentials) on a platform like Facebook. However, I do believe it is a real memory.

My question is the following one: could this memory be real and if so, what did Facebook do wrong?
NFS does have a relatively low limit in terms of lock. For some use cases it can handle it fine.

Just as you wouldn't see ford recalls you usually don't see them for other reasons too i.e. tesla the "not a car company" is special.
I was limiting my search to recent weeks to highlight the frequency of these recalls, but that means there weren't limitless examples to choose from. Despite that, the Honda recall I linked to in my first comment was bigger in terms of total vehicles. I expanded that timeframe in another reply and linked to a Honda recall of 1.4m vehicles which is bigger in relation to annual vehicles sold.
Hey thanks a lot!

Well, they first had to steal the A-bomb project from British Empire (ok, technically the theft happened post-war, when they stopped brits from taking back their notes)

Backup cameras are considered required safety equipment, I assume, since they’ve been required for years. So I don’t think Tesla has any choice in this.

The much smaller Model S recall seems like the bigger deal to me. Obviously having the frunk open while you’re driving would be pretty bad.
Hearing this and Steve Jobs’ critique of Microsoft, “they have no taste” is stunning.

"ML-powered" enhanced zoom can't be trusted.

The moment you need ML magic to magnify you are basically telling the ML "guess what is there based on what we can see and the training database you where trained on". Also due to the nature of such algorithm they do not have any form of common sense or "realistic general purpose" world view, and tend to be black box so it's hard to check if they learned something "stupid"/"ridiculous".

So it's totally possible that somehow it learned to place knifes into the hyper-magnified hands if they have a specific skin color and a turquoise sleeve on a picture with a color scheme as if it's a cloudy day. Or similar arbitrary things. Sure it's supper unlikely but not impossible and there is not good way to find such "bugs". Worse multiple ML systems trained on the same data might share some mistakes and there are just that many huge comprehensive datasets.
> I am so sick of car culture.

I think "car culture" is a bit too broad. I don't have as much of a problem with car enthusiasts, more so our country's continuous commitment to car infrastructure without supporting other options.

I'm actually a huge car enthusiast, I love them. I don't own one though, nor do I drive much at all. But I think there is a difference between being passionate about cars, and forcing that passion to require people to use cars for nearly all transportation.

Totally agree with your other points, although the US has a lot of work to start incentivizing other modes of transportation.
For reasons including the ratio of such cars on the road, and the relative ease of putting out an ICE fire versus a multi-day un-extinguishable lithium battery fire. An NHTSA study in 2018 predicts that the rate of such fires will be "somewhat comparable" between vehicle types, it's the duration and severity of the fires that differ.

Neither. I'm just surprised at the ignorance of people who think that any other brand isn't partaking in similar sweatshops, or the very same one - Foxconn is the world's largest assembly contractor (and more), serving all the major brands. They're not just "the Apple factory".
> HN would probably react to some of it's hivemind's idols like Jobs or PG in that situation.

Or Elon Musk. I can almost imagine the following comment on HN: "The asteroid has enough lithium to make batteries for everyone alive for the next 200 years! Anyone who supports diverting it supports government dysfunction and unmitigated destruction of wealth. This is our one shot to jumpstart space manufacturing - humans have a chance of becoming a Type II civilization, the risk is negligible and well worth it"
As someone who operates four medium-sized (20-200 nodes) clusters as a very small part of my job on a two-person team, I agree.
