It's actually worse than that. The FSD is tied to your account and the car, i.e. if you sell the car to a new owner they will have to purchase FSD separately and if you buy a new Tesla you cannot transfer FSD from the old car to the new one.

Oura ring. Stopped having to guess how much fuel I got for the day. My subjective feeling has a shit correlation with how productive I really am, but the stats from the ring are pretty spot on. I have chronic insomnia so it might help me more than others, but I take quite a lot of decisions based on it. Over 7 hours measured sleep is a good day, 6-7 is standard, 5-6 means modafinil for the day (which turns it into a very productive day), under 5 hours I just chill without any expectations. I also up or lower my meds based on multi-day trends.

It's coping and not a cure, but it's very high quality coping. And I couldn't do it without something to measure sleep - bad nights often have me wake up wired, and 9 hours in bed don't mean much without knowing how much of that I tossed and turned, which I don't always remember.

It's all bluster and everyone should give this exactly the attention it deserves. None.
Kinda worrying that someone who was paying so much attention to what the car was doing that they were actually giving a running commentary still wasn't able to react quickly enough to prevent an accident.

Lucky it was a plastic bollard and not someone's leg or baby carriage.
The driver watches as his car runs a red light and then swerves into bollards, but still allows it to come within a couple of feet of pedestrians standing in the bollards later on. I can't believe people trust their cars not to kill people.

What's the trolley problem have to do with this situation?

Are there accidents where death is unavoidable? Yes, they happen every single day, but after the investigations and trials are over, the parties found responsible pay up for those deaths in either money or jail-time, or both.

Does that mean we should we allow machines to make deadly mistakes, especially when death IS avoidable? Absolutely not. We sentence humans for such mistakes. Machines (either their operator or their manufacturer) should also have the same liability.

Those are two different things which you're trying to spin into a strawman.

When I am using 24" displays, I put one in landscape directly in front of me and one in portrait off to one side. Upper/lower half of the portrait monitor works well for terminals / email / chat. Entire portrait for reading documentation. Full-screen landscape for everything else.

I find this works well for the "adjustable height desk" systems one puts on top of a regular desk. They usually aren't wide enough to have two monitors with one directly in front of the user. The portrait monitor, if the cables are long enough, stays on the fixed-height desk.

I'm unable to use two monitors side-by-side anymore. Working for hours with my head always turned to one side gives me headaches.

Edited to add note on desk-placed "adjustable height" systems.
That really depends on what you look like. I used to have long hair and wear leather jackets and band t-shirts and I was stopped about once every 2-3 months... then I got a job, cut my hair, etc. and I was stopped a couple times in 4 years. But, I had a girlfriend who lived in student dorms, and Central Asian guys living there claimed they get ID checked pretty much every day.

That's what's beautiful about giving government arbitrary power that is so broad it is not always used "in reality" - it gives individual actors discretion to discriminate. Like with literacy tests to vote, war on drugs, etc.
I just don't understand why you'd choose something as slow as Python for this. Not sure how it could compete with React Native which seems like the closest equivalent, but in a much faster and better language.

Interesting distinction; to my mind it is not a neutral source, it’s the primary source.

A neutral source would be one that is removed from having an opinion, but since this is the institution itself it is not possible for it to be neutral; like a Facebook blog post talking about Facebook content policies, it cannot be unbiased.

This is one MEPs opinion and he likely doesn’t speak for the institution that has pushed the bill, but the source I supplied is representing the institution.

Afaik, it did not worked like that. Repeating grades did not lead to better success, which was one reason for ending it. The age difference between failed kid and younger kids in next class did not made anything easier either.

And kids at the very bottom have better and more support available now. It is not perfect, it often sux and is not available to everybody. I definitely don't mean to say it is somehow super great. But the kids at the bottom with cognitively issues or impulsive control issues have better chance to learn more then used to be normal.

So. Much. This.

I have spent the last year sorting a number of repairs that involved plumbing, drywall, paint, and trim to walls, floors, and ceilings to repair damage. In every case, I’ve had to ask for things to be done 2 or 3 times at a minimum just to get things done right and look the way they did before the damage occurred and the work began. Not once has the job ever been done correctly the first time I’m asked to take a look and sign off on completion. I feel I’ve only been able to leverage such refusal because I’ve been able to refuse to write a check (or asked my insurance company to do the same) until the work was right. I’m always told I’m wrong when I call attention to something, and I’ve even had to track down the original builder for records and materials to prove I was correct. And that’s excluding when the workers carelessly cause more damage by doing things wrong, making shitty cuts, doing poor work on drywall mud and corners, carelessly paint edges onto opposing surfaces with different colors, or, you know, split my granite countertop in two.

It is exhausting.
So many broken links.

I think the critique goes deeper than that. An informal agreement between you and your circle of friends and family is not a legally-binding agreement, and is not enforceable at all. A modern economy needs private contracts that are fully enforceable by courts of justice, it cannot rely on informal agreements like this. Further, you're asking people to become custodians of your on-line accounts? I don't think anyone wants to become custodians of someone else's on-line accounts, even if they are your friends. I find super weird that someone genuinely thinks this a workable idea or that this is something that would be appealing to the general public. It reminds me of survivalism.
The number of synchronous commitments teachers have every day would be a disqualifier on its own for me. Teachers have a highly structured schedule of daily "meetings" (class sessions), and they are conducting every "meeting" rather than being just a participant. And they are probably doing so on their feet. That just sounds exhausting.

> Making passenger cars safer through autonomy is clearly a good thing.

I'd actually disagree with this stance. Making passenger cars safer through autonomy is probably a good thing if we can actually make it safer than human drivers. I've yet to be convinced we are anywhere close to meeting the bar on that if. I assume we will eventually, but I'm not even sure I'll live to see it.

It also ignores potential knock on effects, sure in isolation safer cars are better, but the reality is nothing exists in isolation. Could we save more lives if instead of spending the money we are on self-driving cars we instead invested it into our transit systems?

As an example of knock on effects, affordable cars feels like an easy win right? Makes travel easier for everyone. But by and large affordable cars are what has allowed suburbs to exist, but there's an argument to be made that urban sprawl is far from ideal and that we'd be better of with denser communities and public transit.
There's some progress now in tying specific mental disorders to autoimmune problems in the brain. Wish I could tell you more but all I know about this is that they test people's cerebral spinal fluid for antibodies against specific neurotransmitter receptors, and they've discovered several connections between those and problems people have.
I wouldn't say that really, there's quite a few people here (including me) who just barely have our foot in the door and would love advice from experienced people such as OP.

That is in context of an arrest. In Russia, legally it's like a country-wide stop and frisk (stop and ID) with no requirement of suspicion or anything.

The removal of radar has got to be a hindrance to getting autonomous driving working well for Tesla. Cross-comparison between multiple forms of environment surveillance (Vision, Radar, LIDAR, etc.) has to be in place for autonomous driving to work reliably IMO. This much has been stated by multiple non-Tesla AI organizations and leaders.

I think Tesla may be using the price of FSD as a way to dissuade people from buying it, while enabling it to be a funding mechanism for continued work on autonomous driving.

As evident in this video, FSD is often acting like a nervous student driver by being unable to confidently make decisions on the path to take, running through red lights, driving unpredictably at slow speeds, and more. This is probably due to the fact that there is ONLY cameras being used to inform FSD, which can suffer from contrast issues.

I've seen videos in the past where Tesla camera input is in black/white/grayscale for processing. It seems like if you converted the video to B&W, the pylon and the road are similar darkness/color, so I'm not surprised this had issues. Tesla Autopilot was suffering from issues with contrast all the way back in 2016 when Autopilot failed to detect a semi crossing a highway in Florida which lead to the death of the Tesla driver. This was due to the white trailer against a bright sky.

Ultimately, as a consumer and former Tesla owner, I don't feel confident in Tesla's ability to get autonomous driving working well at a human-capable level, let alone the "10x safer" bar they've set for themselves.

Eat fiber. Meet the recommended amount and eat a diverse set of fiber which will feed different microbes in the gut. It will take some time for the gut to adjust to the new levels though. Expect gas, cramping, etc for a few days.

It's pretty much universally accepted at this point that the flood of government student loan money has both distorted the higher education market, and created a trap for millions of people who have gotten an ineffective education with that "free" money.

Your analogy to mortgages is right on, but you've drawn the wrong conclusions. Fed-backed mortgages absolutely functioned as free money. Because the risk of unqualified borrowers was assumed by the government and by opaque, byzantine, and corrupt securitization schemes, banks were incentivized to hand over money to people who weren't able to pay it back.

This was, in every sense that matters, "free money". And it led directly to a financial crisis that many millions of people have never fully recovered from.
Hidden shareware. Kind of bad.
It would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to string up the overhead wire by themselves, and that's using the lowest cost electrification jobs done world-wide. It would cost hundreds of billions more to actually clear bridges and tunnels for the extra height needed for catenary. Then you'd have to actually buy all of the locomotives (not even going to speculate there). And then there's probably significant extra cost in building out transmission infrastructure to the railroad tracks--I'd guess there's large slices of the West where there's nothing around nearby you could hook traction substations up to. All-in-all, you're talking about a trillion-dollar investment to do so.

At the same time... the performance benefits really aren't worth it for freight trains. Remember that diesel locomotives are already an electric drivetrain--the diesel is merely fueling a generator that's sitting on board to power the drivetrain. The big savings with electrification come with weight reduction--and with freight, the weight of the locomotive is a small component of that weight--or using EMUs that let you have every wheel being powered (and with freight cars, that's again never going to happen).
