It definitely has the potential. This quote is in the article:

> Lopez’s family, in court documents, alleges that the car “suddenly and unintentionally accelerated to an excessive, unsafe and uncontrollable speed.” Nieves-Lopez’s family further asserts that Riad was an unsafe driver, with multiple moving infractions on his record, and couldn’t handle the high-performance Tesla.

Are they suggesting that Tesla should have known and therefore should not have allowed the vehicle to be on autopilot or to drive at such high speeds? That's a HUGE claim. Tesla collects a lot of data, and they analyze the data. I don't think that this is disputed, but have they now accepted liability for allowing the car to operate at full capability with the knowledge that he's a bad driver? That would be a major blow, and would reverberate throughout the entire industry.

You are very right - this could be really interesting.
Beautiful. I also checked the archives on that blog and every article is a work of art. I would love to work with this dev!
> Outside is so much better than all of those.

If it's an option for the exercise you want and your health and safety, sure. It's not always an option and there are some exercises (like rowing) that are't practical to do every day unless you live on or near a body of water, and even then. If the lake freezes over, good luck rowing!

Even if the vast majority did make that decision (which I don't think is plausible under any UBI that would be sustainable in even the very short term in the near future) it would eliminate wage signals it would be a result of shifted wage signals, and the response of the market to those signals.

Hi, author of Sonora here.

gRPC-Web is actually exactly what you want if you want gRPC but none of the TLS, HTTP2 etc pain. It "just works" on HTTP/1.1 like any other server.

The Google libraries are definitely a pain to use in Python and even if you've got all the HTTP2 stuff sorted already it doesn't play that nicely with existing code bases.
You don't even have to think about the eventuality of replacements. Just look at the realities of telephone work in modern societies:

I imagine companies with business accounts also receive discounts on the "developer" machines in question anyways, so it's really just an incentive to prevent the extra support overhead.
Given the emails were leaked to journalists e2e encryption wouldn't have helped there.
My solution to this problem would be legislation that allows customers, if they wish to, to return devices for a full refund if the company that manufactures the device makes a change that removes functionality that the customer valued. This doesn't prevent the company from making the change, it simply makes sure that they incur a cost for doing so, and it makes whole any customer affected by the change.

This is related to why I bought a concept2 erg recently. Hurt my achilles and needed to switch to a low impact exercise, which I prefer to be able to do at home rather than going somewhere else (so swimming is out).

Looked at Peloton, but it's about twice as much as an erg up front, has running costs each month, and what seemed to be many more points of failure (which includes the electronics). The Concept2[0] is a tank that should last me a very long time. Space is an issue (I had to shove my dining table to the side), but the workout is amazing and I have a lot of faith in the machine to last. Plus it has a pretty straightforward bluetooth connection if I want to get data out and multiple USB and ethernet ports on the very simple monitor it came with.

> E.g. if you genuinely believe the notion that we have free will is nonsense (and I do), then the logical extension is to be very uncomfortable with the notion of e.g. prison used for vengeance or anything at all other than to the bare minimal extent required to protect others, because the logical conclusion of thinking people don't have agency is that there was no way other than other external stimuli in their lives that they could have come out making other decisions.

I think this lacks imagination for human cruelty. If they had no free choice but to steal my things, then I guess I don't have any free choice but to torture them in revenge. Hard determinism does not erase the possibility of punishment.
Your probably on to something. I remember a lot of people getting excited when John Deere farm equipment was introduced into Farm Simulator 2019.
The iFit app is actually an embed a web browser. If you open the iFit Admin app, it reports a chromium version. I haven't dug into it too much, but definitely an embedded browser.
I dunno, the job of customer service phone rep seems like it should be easy to automate, and they've been attempting to do so for decades, but how many people get absolutely frustrated with such systems?
Oh wow, really sorry to hear about it. I remember back when I lost my twin daughters I felt very similar. I even had people invite me to cry with them but I knew that wasn't me. Since that time I confirmed my thinking with a lot of my professional mentors and coaches over the years.

IMO the response you described is totally normal and likely the best fit for your personal psychology, especially if you have a personal history of similar responses to trauma. Your body-mind system is going to respond in its own way, and it really doesn't care about any other grieving stereotypes.

You can tell others--"look, I'm not OK, but I also know I have to process this my way. And I may need to process things at a much deeper level at first, a level of complex meanings that just don't easily reflect on the outside."

In the meantime I hope you will do the best you can for your personal care on an hour-by-hour basis. Feeding yourself properly, changing your clothes every day, making decisions to be active, getting any help you may need, will all have to feel like you're forcing it to some degree. That's normal in the circumstances. But if neglected they can add up to some regrets eventually, so hopefully there's at least a way to start putting some of those daily building blocks back together for yourself.

Hang in there, use the reflection time to soak up the big picture implications for your future and bring all of that life-changing, learning energy forward if you can. Good luck.
The incentive "these people clearly need help of some sort" isn't bad, I think.

But it's bad if we have to pretend we understand something better than we do for people to get the help they need.
If we learned nothing from STUXNET/DUQU.... Israel has literally the most advanced capabilities in this area that we are aware of...

I mean - do you recall, as a part of the Snowden leaks, there was a small amount of information that came out that there was some channel/mechanism by which israel was effectively given a firehose of data from the collective five-eyes...

I don't quite recall the details, but it was a revelation because via that firehose they were getting more data than was thought to be 'allowed'/previously known...
This is great, thanks for posting this site. I am one of those who bought this awesome treadmill for several reasons, including to watch netflix and plex. It's been frustrating not being able to easily do this... I have just been listening to podcasts from my phone.
Right? You can't have a label say X, and then in small print say that it absolutely is not X. It's equivalent to a product saying "Contains absolutely no nuts!" and then in small print saying "may contain nuts".
Is there any way I can contribute my WGS data?
I'll request it on researchgate! Thanks so much! I have always had an insane startle response since I was a child, to the point that I'd scream and fall out of a chair if my parents entered the room and said hello when I was in the middle of something! From what I understand with these papers children are born with the decreased amygdala volume. I feel like the other part of it is going through life with severe anxiety, autism, and fearfulness and the negative reactions to it are just a vicious cycle.
I think you get a lot of people trying to categorize the number of "years" before we get a given technology, but it's probably more accurate to measure the number of "unsolved problems", and my totally unqualified opinion is that there are still a lot of unsolved problems left before we get level 5 AV.
Although the idea that MAD saved us from a nuclear holocaust is prevalent, people tend to forget how a strong anti-war effort was required to dissuade the crazy people from ideas like megadeaths being an ok strategic decision and stopping plans like the "Star Wars Program" on their tracks (which has unfortunately resumed with potentially tragic consequences).

These weapons and technologies are developed by nation-states only, and a collaboration, however unlikely might seem to you, is the only way to stop us from pointing guns at each others heads with AI controlling the trigger.

The technologies will be developed, and have to be developed for the sake of balancing powers, but they need to be put in a drawer and locked there after being designed, not widely deployed and flaunted at each other.
Yes!

I'm always fascinated by this urge to push individual lapses and judgment onto large and wealthy entities.

I own a Tesla Model 3 and I have chosen not to purchase the full self-driving package nor do I intend to rent it. I don't think the technology is worth it at this point to me personally.

When you own the vehicle, it is very clear that the autopilot mode is simply a lane assist system. They have messages flashing all over the screen stating that it will not stop at stop signs or red lights. It's not like it's hidden from anybody and instead is blatantly displayed with no way to stop it from displaying every time it is activated.

This driver was abusing a system that is meant to reduce fatigue. He should bear the consequences. Those of us who enjoy the reduction fatigue when driving from Denver to Omaha like I've had to do recently, should not have the feature disabled because of his irresponsibility.
Adding multiple betsizes was one of the first features we added in 2015 - so not very recent, no.
The one true correct bet size is a seducing idea but that just doesn't exist for most situations. You can try finding the best one with the assumption you can only use one but it's not the best idea in my opinion. Main reasons are that that's the sizing most people will be most ready to play against and EV difference between possible bet sizes is minimal.

What happened in chess is now happening in poker: at first people were all about the best theoretical move and then gradual shift to "not necessary the best just sound enough but less likely to be analyzed by the opponents" started happening.

As to the first part of your question: the solutions are pretty much perfect. The only assumption is about possible bet sizes. As to accuracy we measure it in theoretical exploitability (how much a perfect adversary who knows our strategy exactly could win against us). You can easily go so low that even a theoretical perfect adversary wouldn't get close to beating the rake vs the solution, even at high stakes.
When my mother's parents died, I really only cried once, and that was on the way home from what turned out to be the last time I saw my grandfather alive.

I loved them both immensely, so it troubled me that I didn't seem more hurt. I felt very self-conscious when one of the people providing hospice care to my grandfather commented that I seemed to be taking things well.

After a few years, I realized I wasn't more broken up about their deaths because I had already made peace with the fact that people die before I lost them. People have different relationships with mortality. It's okay if you cry, and it's okay if you don't. It doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with you, and there is no right way to grieve.

Since you aren't broken by the pain right now, use that composure to provide comfort to your family.
Yes, and it is a misnomer compared to WSL1. WSL1 was a proper NT subsystem because NT was designed from the start to allow such things.
Oh, yeah, sure, don't not do it if you're inclined to. Ours are vaccinated, including one who barely made the cut. I'm pretty sure the math still checks out, even with omicron, it's just getting really close to "about 100 other things I never think about at all, are more important than this" territory, for (healthy) kids specifically, so I'd encourage anyone who's actually worried about their otherwise-healthy kid not being vaccinated, even if the worry is mostly about those they might infect, to not worry, given the current circumstances.
Exactly, I live in a smallish middle England town, not a city and not London. I think we are trailing the population centres by a couple of weeks despite the country on average being over it. This feels like the peak for us.
> I have stacks of class action letters and in almost every case I get exactly zero...

I was pleasantly surprised when I got around $250 CAD from a Lenovo class action suit. I bought one of their consumer laptops that had a piece of crapware on it. It was big news when it happened. Otherwise, I normally get maybe $20 for the class actions that I sign up for.
Can you remap the controls? IIRC my PS4 allowed swapping buttons and sticks at least. Not sure if those were per game though.
I wrote about why I created this tool here: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Nov/3/s3-credentials/

The short version: if you want to use S3 from outside of AWS - for example in a cron script that backs up a VPS to S3 - you need an access key and a secret key. This tool helps you create credentials that are very tightly scoped, for example that can only read and write to one specific S3 bucket, not your entire AWS account.

I released a new version yesterday which added the ability to create credentials that can only access files within a prefix (or folder) within an S3 bucket: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Jan/18/weeknotes/
There is an even bigger difference in that one exists and works today while the other requires a huge experiment in the way modern society works.
This is like trying to say that because some blind people have improved auditory function, and because that is sometimes useful to society, deafness is "not a disease". We can have sympathy for autistics and try to make reasonable accomodations while also trying to cure it so nobody in future generations is born that way.
As far as I know, in Magic: the Gathering, the best bots are far worse than most players. Part of the difficulty is that the rules are so complicated that there are only a couple of complete rules implementations. Beyond that, it's an imperfect information game with far more actions per game than poker, so optimal-solver techniques haven't seen success.

This line of thinking makes the incredibly naive mistake of thinking that all Democrats feel the same about online advertisement (or anything, really)

What makes you think that Democrat legislators and "democrat run companies" (operating on the assumption this is true and on the assumption that all of the company's operations match it's executives' political views- again a pretty big question mark) in any way share the same views concerning surveillance advertising?
Yeah it's the best approach given the current state, and that seems to be what they're going for in the MR.

However you're still in a bit of a mess due to lack of an explicitly documented implicit color space. And it's still a bit of a footgun for developers who don't know they need to care about this.

It's a bit like XML files without the encoding attribute. Except for text you can try to analyze the bytes and find a likely encoding, no such thing for pixel data.

It's difficult to compare flight autopilot and automobile autopilot.

Flight autopilot generally warns when terrain or traffic is advancing. You can also program routes, etc. on the flight management computer which connects and controls autopilot. Many planes even autoland in certain conditions.
When I read the headline, I thought the operators of the FSD tech were being charged: Tesla or Uber. To literally slam the brakes on this, hold the companies accountable rather than individuals who believed that the products would work as advertised.

If the supposed FSD still requires an individual to fully man the vehicle, what is the point of having it? It seems like bloatware surveilling you with little benefit to the user similar to what modern phones do.

> I tend to stay away from so-called 'smart' devices

I tried several alternatives in terms of smart TV (Apple TV, Google/Android TV, Fire TV), and I could not find any platform that let me use all of the apps that I needed without resorting to casting from my phone. And in some cases there was a long process to follow in order to get the device to do what I needed[1], which involved activating developer mode, sideloading apps etc.

In the end, I bought a wireless keyboard/touchpad combo and built a HTPC, reusing old components that I removed from my gaming PC after upgrading it over the years. I installed Ubuntu on it and never looked back.

[1] For example not having the home screen being made of mostly ads, or having a simple web browser installed on the device
I don’t think that’s the case- I don’t think there’s any evidence that self driving cars are better drivers than human drivers in real world conditions.

If this were only a human psychology problem, someone would just dump a fleet of self driving cars on the road and prove they have the tech. The rewards are too good to ignore and surpass any potential fine/regulation, if the tech is good enough.

But it’s not there yet, it might never get there. We’re so far off general AI it’s unreal, e.g. a human can drive a car with a single eye open, and one hand on the wheel, and another on a throttle- all from the drivers seat. Even with sensors and data coming in from all over the car, AI can’t manage it.
We have evidence of one and not the other. It's really simple.
I'd be interested in knowing where to order a 32 inch ipad for $1000.
Come back and make this comment when we actually have something better than human driving.
I agree, on what you working and with whom you are working is far more important. I would even argue, that for a experienced software developer getting fluent with new technology is quite fast while getting to the bottom of domain in which your project will exist might take years, especially when you take into consideration that technologies share quite decent amount of concepts between each other.
Besides, in era of containers/WASM/open source developers never been more free to mix as many technologies in one project as they want or even switch them completely at any point of lifetime of a project.
There are also other reasons: using different tools with slightly different philosophy gives you broader perspective in general and also keeps you away from burnout.
Ok, but feeding the candidate half of the information is pretty different from coming up with the rough design with “no idea” how it works. Yes, if you basically tell them how it should work, then they can probably figure out how to calculate the time difference and do some trig.
A better analogy is that you already an ownership share in the nation state with citizenship - you have voting rights, a court system that works for you, you benefit monetarily by having a secure military and police force (thus not needing to directly pay for bodyguards or protection from some sort of mafia).
