"Was he speaking from experience? Dostoevsky had been arrested in 1849 for his participation in an underground salon whose members read banned works and discussed French Utopian socialism. He had spent the next four years in prison, where he had undergone a political conversion, abandoning the radicalism of his youth to become, on many issues, a conservative. Yet, what incensed Dostoevsky above all about Chernyshevsky was his blind faith in scientific explanations for human behavior. Chernyshevsky became known for a theory he called rational egoism. Inspired by Jeremy Bentham and English Utilitarianism, Chernyshevsky claimed that human behavior was rational in that it was guided by self-interest. If poverty were to be eliminated, he conjectured, crime would all but cease to exist.

Dostoevsky had served side by side with murderers in prison, “sharing tables and latrines with them, hauling bricks with them, sipping water from the same ladles,” writes Birmingham, and could not abide this simplistic view of crime—and by extension of human nature. People were unpredictable, irrational, and often did things that worked against their own interests—this was ugly, but also beautiful, because it was the essence of freedom. Indeed, this is why Crime and Punishment became a crime novel in which the whodunit is answered straight away, leaving the rest of the novel for questions of motive or—more accurately in the case of Dostoevsky—the muddled mess that is human motivation in the first place."

Seems relevant to a lot of the discussions over LA rail thefts, increased crime, and progressive DAs relationship to these trends. There is nothing new under the sun.
> One man's cherry-picking is another man's apples-to-apples comparison. If you want to compare the base mortality of two diseases in different times, you do need to correct for differences in lifestyle and healthcare standards, otherwise the comparison is meaningless.

Is it though?

I get that if you're talking about how much money something cost in 1918 and how much it cost today you'd want to take inflation into account otherwise everything in 1918 is "free" (or 90%+ discounted) compared to today.

But when you're talking about lives and deaths, well, I mean I don't think a life back then is worth any more or less than a life today. On a population adjusted basis a single death "counts" more insofar as there were fewer people around so a death is a larger percentage of the world population. But it doesn't inherently have less value.
How about the coder? The person who reviewed the code?

The person who assembled the sensor and has some kind of defect? Or steering/braking mechanism?

Remember Toyota's accelerator-by-wire spaghetti code? No oversight by any third party on that code, what has changed today (nothing except even more complex code doing more complex/dangerous things)

At some point people are going to start victim blaming pedestrians/cyclists for just "being there" when their car mows them over. I guess it already happens but it will become far more common.
> The next day, I had the TV on in the background and the evening news program was just starting. At the start of the bulletin, they gave a quick outline of the stories they were going to cover. Among those stories, the news anchor read something to the lines of “an internet user saves the life of a young woman in distress”. Then they cut for an ad break. I was very excited to hear the actual news story, but suddenly, my mother called out “dinner is ready!” and insisted that I come and sit down to eat. I got distracted, and I never did hear the full news story (ha!).

It would be really cool if it were somehow possible to pin down the time this was aired on TV and identify the full bulletin.

I wonder if the author remembers the rough time period this happened within. Even a span of months to years doesn't produce an intractably-sized search space.
> There's a reason (many? most?) people are jerks. Being a jerk works.

Yes, but I would argue that it only takes a few sociopaths to ruin an entire community, by exploiting trust, and doing other things that most other people wouldn't dream of doing.
This is spot on. The final conclusion is that we are in a cul-de-sac though, any kind of exit seems to be across capital expenditure barriers that are too high to surmount and if you succeed there will always be a competitor to your plan that does things the old way and that looks short term to be cheaper.

I think the big problem is that we do not show the full price at the outset, the 'sticker price' is usually only a fraction of the total cost and the payer of the sticker price has no idea of what the total cost eventually will be. If we could only make them aware of that it would already be a step in the right direction, and the remainder might be fixable by taxation.

U.S. CFR Title 14, Part 1, Section 1.1 defines the duties of Pilot in Command, legal term: [...] Has the final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight. [...]

"Woke is an English adjective meaning 'alert to racial prejudice and discrimination' that originated in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE). Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for left-wing ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.[0,1]"

Unfortunately like most terms associated with progressivism, feminism or race, almost no one here ever uses the term in good faith, understanding either its history or taking its purpose at face value, and it's simply become another anti-leftist pejorative.
Then I'm guessing you probably would go into way deeper detail. But I suspect if you let it sit on your computer for a few days after writing it, coming back to it you will see the parts you needed to hew out and could then post something more succinct to your liking.

Again, same thing. That's not there for customers, that's there so they can tell regulators "Look! See. We told them to be careful."
that is then misleading. it's as simple as that. Tesla should be fined for this and i'm really surprised they haven't already been.

Hiding behind legalese and specific wording is the textbook definition of misleading.

How would you feel if i sold you an "apple peeler" and made you sign a legal agreement where i stated that the "apple peeler" was not capable of peeling apples today but at some indeterminate point in the future? Is that not misleading?

Why are you arguing semantics for a scummy corporate?
Then maybe change the name Autopilot to something else. Cars are not publicized with Autobrake systems that you have to press the pedal to stop. That would be confusing.
You have to put in a conscious effort to stop the car from telling you to hold on to the damn steering wheel. People install mods to their cars to disable these features, but that too requires conscious effort to do.

Tesla owners might sue Tesla for not fulfilling their promises, but I don't think they'll get out of the responsibility for autopilot accidents so easily.

Unless the court rules that Tesla's cars don't pass the minimum road safety tests and are immediately banned from accessing the public road, I don't think any court will accept "the ads told me it was fine" as an excuse for killing two people. You're expected to know the law, and the law says you're responsible for your car while you're on the road.

The subject of who's responsible for self driving cars is an interesting one, and it'll take years for real, clear decisions will be made, but that's completely irrelevant here.
I personally haven't found that to be much of a hindrance to debugging, but I suppose this is somewhat a matter of personal preference.

All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.

The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

Basically what the other reply said, but yeah, adblockers only work when you're watching in the browser. Which is admittedly where I watch most of the time, but for the occasional times I'm watching on another device, I can't stand sitting through ads. And while I'm sure there's workarounds, I don't want to deal with workarounds. I want to fire up a video anywhere, and as long as I'm signed in, I won't see ads.

There was also a time (I think when it was called YouTube Red) that it was just a package deal with Google Play Music and that was basically what I was paying for, and the ad-free YouTube was just a bonus. Though once they killed off GPM it was one of the last straws for me in the Google ecosystem so I bought an iPhone, switched to Apple Music and now I'm just continuing to pay for ad-free YouTube.
It sounds to me like "the cure to alcoholism is having another drink".

The truth is out there, it's not in the model. The model can have a database of facts and check that the output is consistent with the facts but if you want to know the truth for many cases you need to check the outside world, take some measurements, do an experiment, etc.

I like the idea of "mixture of experts" and having a proofreader that catches the system when it makes critical mistakes. This is how IBM Watson got superhuman performance at jeopardy and both of those are widely known by people in the research triangle park are who work on projects for the government but seem to be unheard of on the west coast.

Today when you have a neural network everything looks like visual recognition but I'd like to remind you that replacing bools with floats and taking derivatives doesn't repeal fundamental results of math, logic and computer science such as those of Turing and Gödel.

This points to the structural inadequacy of today's neural systems: it was clear in the 1970s that many 'intelligent' tasks require SMT solving. It's not a complete paradigm for intelligence but people do it consciously when they really want to make sure their stories make sense.

Truth itself is a problematic concept. Many statements can't be assigned a true or false value for one reason or another. Most "true" or "false" values are probabilistic and worse yet, can only be correctly modeled as part of a joint probability distribution (e.g. no probability for a given statement, rather a probability for assignments of all of the statements.)

Go read Godel, Escher, Bach and then some harder stuff, lose the long-winded explanations of why people should care, rewrite it and you might get a proposal worth submitting after a few passes.
> It's easy to blame the driver, until you consider whether or not the premise of a "partially automated self driving car" is fit for the road. It is not possible to both "stay alert" to anywhere near the same degree required for manual driving, and let an automated navigation system take control.

This is a poor argument. Aeroplane autopilots were "partial automation" for decades - possibly still are for all I know - and yet have been considered fit for purpose. But the responsibility lies with the driver to ensure the vehicle is travelling safely, same as it does with the pilot of a plane.
From my experience, they often work on matters that are orthogonal to political divisions. If anything, they would shell out money to media with specialized audience just because they want wider coverage of issues they are interested in.
I had the same thought. Though, it appears that post numbers stopped being interesting by 10M: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10000000

I was surprised that the post numbers appear to be sequential, and that there would be ~30M. Over 15 years of HN, that's ~5K posts/day, and about 200 new posts/hour. Things accrue. I'd estimate that HN is well north of 300K readers/day ... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9219581

Hello sir would you like to buy our Car (tm)

on pg 39 of purchase contract its clearly stated its a bicycle for now as we are still developing our Car (tm) to be a car.

Tell me how is that different to calling a driver assist a Autopilot as it aspires to be an autopilot but for now its just a driver assist called Autopilot*.
Another example is "launch control" pointless and dangerous on public roads. Any injuries or deaths from that I'd argue liability is 50/50 driver and manufacturer. Maybe even 33/33/33 driver, manufacturer, and driver's insurance company for not voiding or denying insurance over having such a "feature".

It's not only Tesla that has launch control some other models of other vehicle manufacturers also offer it.

As someone who, over the last year, has gone from sedentary, in front of the computer lifestyle, to jogging 5K 3 times a week on the treadmill and getting 10K steps per day half the days in the last month...

My wife and I both feel 20 years younger. The change brought on through a number of lifestyle changes has been dramatic and basically entirely positive.

Yes, steps is only one component of it. But: I could also see that steps probably do correlate with other healthy lifestyle choices. Just making time in the day for a half hour walk or an hour on the treadmill is an indicator of prioritizing some health choices over other things.

I saw fact checkers going to town to discredit someone not going with the "accepted" narrative. For example they would say:

- Wrong, X is 9.999999 high.

- Misleading. While X is indeed 10 metres high, the author of the claim measured it from top to bottom instead of generally accepted bottom to top way of measuring.

etc.
> they bolt it onto Postgres after realizing they have availability or scale needs beyond what a relational database can do, then they bolt on Elasticsearch to enable querying, and then they bolt on Redis to make the disjointed backend feel fast.

This made my head explode. Why would you explicitly join two systems made to solve different issues together? This sounds rather like a lack of architectural vision. Postgres's zero access-design inherently clashes with DynamoDB's; same goes with ElasticSearch scenario: DynamoDB's was not made to query everything, it's made to query specifically what you designed to be queried and nothing else. Redis sort-of make sense to gain a bit of speed for some particular access, but you still lack collection level querying with it.

In my experience, leave DynamoDB alone and it will work great. Automatic scaling is cheaper eventually if you've done your homework about knowing your traffic.
Probably not what you were looking for, but you can use yeast extract as a source of MSG. If I'm not mistaken some companies like McDonald's use this as a work-around.

"Crippled" implies a degree of everyday suffering in the "cripple", or a downgrade from a previous state of health. The advanced features in Bitwarden were never free, in fact I think some of them were eventually added to free plans too. I honestly don't even want stuff like yubikey support, and could see that as feature bloat!

I don't expect everything to be free, I'm perfectly fine with the freemium model when the set of free features is reasonable - as, in my humble opinion, is the case with Bitwarden. So I wouldn't use a word like "crippled" when it's more like "normal for regular users vs enhanced for advanced needs".
