It was a discussion about how such a system must function with all the different inputs vs the vision only model.

If you have radar and lidar and vision, then you have at least three different specialist machine learning models running, and then another model running that takes their outputs and decides what the car is going to do. You may have even more than that, some doing specific tasks like localization.

Neural nets and vision only is a more difficult but in the long run straightforward solution. The example he brought up was alphazero vs some other chess engine that has a rook engine, and a knight engine, etc.

Basically he's backing the end to end neural network back approach over some kind of multi-sensor fusion.

I was recently doing some electrical work on my house. The past owner had really jacked things up. I couldn't figure out and had to call an electrician. I'd imagine the majority of their work is DIY'ers who've f'ed up and had to call a pro. To me that's what going to happen here - marketing will continually screw and tinker w/ shit till it's broke and then they'll call you to fix it.

I also want to add this is a good example of why marketing should probably just be using tools like Insta, Twitter, FB etc to get their message out. Now if you actually have a good company blog w/ good resources than that's different but I think that's more the exception than the norm.
This is aimed at enterprise though.
Surveillance & Monopoly Protection

If people stopped using cellphone service for mobile internet they would loose their immense location and surveillance capabilities (gov).
Didn't that almost happen in California?
> Sometimes I ask people to imagine what it would be like if the inhabitants of a large Native American reservation began shelling a nearby US city after openly stating they will not rest until the USA is wiped from the earth.

This is easy. They have some valid claims in principle. They also have essentially no power or weapons. After the initial surprise. They’d be able to do nothing. Or in effect nothing. If the US then removed autonomy from these Native Americans, kept them locked in, and gave them electricity equivalent for the average American (aka 1 person) for 70 of the Native Americans, and continued this for decades and decades. That would be awful and cruel from the get go. What is this example supposed to show?

> To further the analogy, imagine now that the USA is the size of New Jersey, surrounded by states that have attempted also to wipe them out, and that Americans have been enslaved, persecuted, and harried across the globe for thousands of years since leaving New Jersey under duress the most recent time.

To extend this. NJ has the backing of the most powerful country in the world and almost every first world country. NJ is also richer and more powerful than any of the neighbors except for the one farther away who coincidentally has their tragedy, that most powerful country ally screwed with their country. This doesn’t make what they country (Iran) does good. Just nuance.

The saddest part of this example is leaving out the Palestine. It’s very sad that they don’t even get to be part of the example. Though perhaps it is fitting as the Gaza Strip barely does exist as is.

—-

Your Israel bind is flawed. Why can’t Israel leave Palestine alone? Why do they have to incorporate Palestine into Israel? Leave the Gaza Strip alone. The one thing that shouldn’t be done is cutting the grass as Israel does now. With that being the current Israel SOP now, it muddies the water because Israel actually benefits from Hamas by having an easy excuse to cut the grass every so often.

Your last point is again flawed. As strategies like cutting the grass above, suffocating Gaza Strip, and pushing settlements further and further has nothing to do with that mentality.

———-

Sometimes people confuse people like me and assume I have some sort of allegiance or motive. I want harmony as it is possible. Of course the Arab country leadership and unfortunately many of their uneducated and screwed over in their own right citizens have awful reactions and thinking toward Israel.

That’s bad. So is the treatment of Gaza Strip or number of Palestinian children who have been causalities in a period of time like this century.

Israel being able to remain their own country and be prepared and strong. Nothing wrong with that! Why would there be? There are people born in Israel now who are 3rd generation now. That’s their home. If I thought any differently, that would make no sense and mean I have something against Jewish people or Israel. When I love both as much as any other country or group of people.
The idea here is you get the c code transpiled verbatim into unsafe rust code.

This makes me wonder if Elon uses FSD or if he values his life more than that.
Awesome work! This was one of the main remaining pain points I had with node.
"Rents went up 20-40% across the board"

I don't think you can blame that on the stimulus. There are tons of other forces driving up prices, including iBuyers and the lack of affordable new construction. The stimulus barely paid a month of rent for most people.
In the image on their site, it shows 25 Mbps up, so I wouldn't expect much more.
There’s many examples of exactly this happening. Here’s one: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/22/1046154251/they-refused-to-pa...

The tenants no doubt received direct stimulus payments and never paid a dime of it in rent. There’s a reason why section 8 et al are paid directly to the landlords.
I believe signaling has a lot to do with the law in my state, since I'm living in a big city, the signaling is always present. And like I said before, the normal speed limit is 25MPH, so its not like normal traffic is too fast, it just goes down to 15MPH during school in and school out time (there aren't kids hanging around outside the schools otherwise, it is an urban environment).
mmWave radar, you won't see it coming
I've been following and building mmWave radar stuff for a little over a year now and I wanted to write an intro to help anyone get up to speed on how it works, why it's special, and what's been happening in the space.
I was nodding along until I got to the $500/mo. service charge. I'd feel pretty good about $150/mo. or $200/mo., but I guess I'm not their target market since I have decent wired broadband. I was hoping that this would give Spectrum some competition in our area, but I'll have to wait a little longer.

> We covered something like 20 different products in our "History of Google Messaging services" article

I can't imagine there are many people excited to adopt a new voice or chat app from Google. Maybe the third dozenth try is the charm!

The last redesign was such a disaster and given the extra apps they're trying to pile in I expect the performance to get even worse, if such a thing is possible. Who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I guess the silver lining of another gmail regression is that it will finally bump getting a new email service to the top of my todo list.
I’ve been a WordPress dev since 3.0.
It is a tool. And a very good one. Its market share dominance it not because it is proprietary (it is not) or because of vendor lock in (there is none). It is because it works very well, it is lightweight, it runs pretty much on any host, and is friendly to devs and end users.

Part of being a good dev is knowing which tool to use (and when to not use a tool) and how to get the most out of the tool.
The orbit's low enough that no, not really.

> And for what? For expensive mediocre internet for limited number of users in places where infrastructure is lacking? Infrastructure? You know, the thing we should build more of, that serves poor people? Those people that limited expensive mediocre toys don't serve?

Huh? Internet service is infrastructure.

There are lots of people in rural areas that don't have proper service. The goal is to get them service, by whatever method is most effective. And in lots of areas, starlink is more effective than running wires.

So why shouldn't we use starlink for those people? It's nonsense to balk at the price if you're suggesting we do something even more expensive. If the price is too high then we can apply subsidies to it. Instead of applying those subsidies to offerings that are worse.
Nice, I wasn't aware of that. I always thought "mute" was "niemowny".

Calling for the destruction of a political entity is not the same thing as calling for the genocide of the population that is governed by said entity.

Despite what Israel’s advocates say, objecting to a particular political arrangement for the territory that is Israel/Palestine is not inherently anti Semitic nor anything close to advocating genocide.

Personally I don’t like the idea of ethno-religious nation states.

I pre-paid at the start of last year and it materialised before Christmas, here in the UK. Friends got it 6 months before me, for pre-ordering a few of months earlier on the beta.

Perhaps your cell was full, but that doesn't excuse the customer service.
In an interview last year (forget with who, maybe Jay Leno?), Elon gave the entire interview while his Tesla was driving them around. I'm guessing he puts a lot of faith into it. Though he probably only drives around areas that are pretty well tested in Teslas already.
Most people never get to the point where they're candidates for executive positions.

And software salaries get shared publicly on things like levels.fyi these days, so you need third party recruiters even less.

With that said, I don't have a hard line policy of never responding to them, but I pretty much never get contacted by a third party recruiter with something that looks even remotely good or interesting.

I think if the company is using a third party recruiter, the gig probably isn't very good. Obviously there are exceptions, but no great role is getting sourced through Cyber Coders.
Taxis, available with e.g. a simple phone call, have existed since before telephones and cars really, and they still exist now even as ride-sharing has taken over. They will exist as Cruise rises.
"if you have nothing to hide then you don't need privacy" --every government everywhere.
Do they have authority to impose such limitations? It sounds very overreaching.

What makes more sense is probably Starlink trying to prevent uneven network load.
Thank you very much for the info! The detail about Kress joining Google is fascinating, as is the contrast in sales numbers for Hololens 2 and ML1. Hololens 2 is the most advanced AR headset that I've used so far, so it's helpful to hear from you that its display quality is poor compared to others. Despite the display quality, I've been blown away by what it's capable of, and I look forward to seeing how this space evolves over the next 5 years.
It's funny that their representation of Japan is just an empty island with a few highways on it. Does it work better if you're there?
It's almost certainly not about the absolute size of the company, but its relative position in whatever niche(s) it operates in.
I've seen it used for electric cars.
I suspect this might be a tongue in cheek reference to digg, a site that does a very similar thing. It was popular for a while before being eaten alive by Reddit. Don’t let that dissuade you, though, there is room to add a new dimension to it or do things differently.

Was thinking more in the vein of similar but different to PiHole on a cloud instance. Connect as a VPN. Not sure how much lag that would introduce, and if you could use it in place of pihole for local network at home as well. Set it up once, use it for everything.

Probably not as cheap as a Pi, but more beneficial. blah blah. decisions! yay!

Fewer workers. That's the whole point.

For years, companies have been investing billions into automation and efficiency improvements. Less and less humans are required to do the same work.

Of course, we aren't at 0 yet, but it's trending lower and lower. It doesn't take doubling a human workforce to double output anymore.

I'm not sure about that timeline. 1GB of ram was already pretty common for workstations in 2000. My PC in 2001 had 1GB ram. The Sun SPARCstation 20 was released in '94 and supported up to 512MB. By '97 Sun's enterprise servers like the Sun Ultra Enterprise 10000 were topping out at 64GB.

> This usage and definition by NHTSA predates the colloquial definition

I don't think that's right, because countries could "recall" ambassadors, or parliament could be "recalled." Essentially, "recall" means "to bring back." If you aren't bringing something back, it isn't a recall. I don't have time to do the etymological research, so this could be wrong, but it isn't likely. (IIRC I used to be able to access the Oxford English Dictionary for free online, but I'm finding that now I can't.)
Very nice in-depth analysis, thanks kguttag.

My personal bet on this space is that kura.tech's product is going to be the real deal; but it is exciting to see that the AR field in general is starting to enter its own plateau of productivity and we may start seeing great products soon.
The stimulus is absolutely a factor. I agree there are other things pushing on both the demand side of the equation as well as the supply side. But UBI will never increase supply - at best you'd craft it in such a way so as to be neutral (though I don't know how you'd pull this off - someone has to work the crappy jobs)

But UBI absolutely will increase demand - and therefore prices until the same equilibrium is met but at a higher price. Basically, the poor will still be poor, but the rich will be poorer too. If a race to the lowest common quality of life is what you want, UBI is the answer. For any other scenario keep looking.
I agree with you. With a little bit of driving experience, you have a natural sense for what the safe speed is on a road, and that speed is almost always the speed limit, in my experience.

On a busy road with lots of pedestrians crossing, I naturally want to go much slower than I would on the same road if there were no other pedestrians or traffic. "School zones" just codify that into law - when you expect lots of kids to be crossing a road, the speed limit of the road should be lower.

The issue, for me at least, is the ambiguity. When is the school zone in effect? This creates a cognitive load. The road was clearly meant for 45 mph travel, because that is the normal speed limit. So if I let my "autopilot" brain take over, I will probably go over the 25 mph school zone limit.

It's a special case. So when I see a school zone, I unconditionally set the cruise control to be the school zone speed limit. This frees my brain from any congitive load about whether school is in session. It also guarantees that I am not influenced by the guy tailgating me.

The ability to set the speed of your car exactly, without monitoring, is really useful.

how did this not break your mortgage agreement? most private mortgages have a clause that states the mortgaged property will be your primary residence. specifically. it is to prevent private mortgages being obtained for rental properties.

Why would this have lower latency?
You're confusing density with overcrowding. They don't have roommates, making it strictly nicer than SF.

Also, Tokyo is the best city in the world, so yes. The rural areas are depopulating because nobody wants to live there more than a lack of work. There are suburbs for families too, but they're still transit-oriented.

(Not that Japan is against cars. They just don't do all their transportation with them.)
Maps routinely tells me to "use the right two lanes to exit", but it doesn't show any awareness of where I am. It says the same thing whether I'm in the left lane or the exit lanes. Are others getting directions like "merge two lanes to the right to exit"?
Opening a connection and performing parsing on record formats is the "heavy lifting" in this example.
I doubt an AI could be trained to do that. Anything that cannot be transpiled mechanically probably requires a human decision which will involve analysis and tradeoffs between objectives that the AI could not know about.
> For those who just want a generic and easy to use app like OneNote, they’re not going to find it in Obsidian.

That's not an accurate statement. Obsidian can literally be as simple as one wants it to be, or as sophisticated in virtually any direction. The culty "Zettelkasten" emphasis is entirely coming from the community and can be totally ignored (as I do).
This is also a pipe-dream. You can't automate plumbing, drywalling, framing and dozens of other construction jobs. They already can't find people to work those jobs - when you add UBI do you think there will be more of those workers? No. So who's going to build the houses? Who's going to make the supplies? Who's going to pick up trash? Moreover, who's going to be a nursing assistant, a home care aid, or even a teacher?
