Tesla is not representative of the state-of-the-art in the industry.

In fact, many of the other companies in the space are looking down their nose at Tesla's experiment because Musk thinks he can do the trick without LIDAR. He might not be wrong (humans do it without LIDAR), but it's a hell of a gamble that results in a sensor bundle quite different from the sensory tapestry other self-driving vehicles can take advantage of.

Couple that with the fact that other companies are employing professional drivers to test their hardware on public roads while Musk is crowdsourcing it to anyone rich enough to buy one of his cars, and one can get the sense why those who are actually concerned about driver and pedestrian safety are real nervous about Musk's foray into this space.
> I can think of two times in my life where I even considered the possibility that one of my peers would do something malicious on their way out the door, but management worries about this all the time.

Because employers see how some employees act as they depart, even though they don't act similarly around their coworkers. Employers also see trusted employees smile and leave for competitors even after signing that they would not do that. Employers are right to suspect departing employees, because some steal information or otherwise cause issues before they leave.

> So it troubles me a bit how quickly the C Suite prioritizes having a giant switch to lock people out.

I've seen dozens of systems that had to be accounted for when an employee left. Almost all of those systems required separate action to remove the departing employee, plus follow-up checks that sometimes had to be from humans.

It only makes sense to have your employee separation procedure get automated, and during automation it makes sense to communicate with one system instead of communicating with 30 systems that each respond in different ways - some of which require human intervention.
It’s “stable prices and maximum employment” ie preventing both. They mostly fail to cause inflation, which is why we undershoot the 2% target more often than not.

Compare to Argentina for a country that really fails at it.
>The trick is results in French are extremely bad quality

It depends. It is definitely the case for tech but not for everything. For philosophy, science, movie reviews, cooking, and of course anything related to French culture, there's a lot of high quality content.
Extra WiFi traffic, even if not coming from your AP or devices, will still interfere with your own AP and devices for the reasons walrus01 pointed out, that WiFi is half duplex and needs to share the same RF space as every other WiFi device nearby.

Buddhist Utopia: Mongolian Visions of the Kalachakra Tantra and Shambhala
My great grandmother wasn't a terribly religious person, but towards the end of days, she decided it would be prudent to go to church. She picked one of the fire and brimstone sort, and Harry Potter was the subject of their intense ire. She wouldn't talk about it, even when prompted. Our sense was that she was seeking some sort of closure in going to church; it didn't matter much what they had to say.
Yeah I don't really have any specific demands other than it is meant for music... I bought these ATH-MX-20/40X from reviews and apparently they're monitoring headphones?... so yeah. Those are definitely flat.

Thanks I'll put those on a list. Definitely one of those things have to try on in person to buy but recommendations help too.

Edit: not too bassy actually, neutral would be nice like works for almost anything.
These are indeed examples that are far ahead of the tech we have today, but I'd bet a single-digit percentage of drivers actually perform these tasks, and most do it only occasionally. There are areas where AI drivers win over human drivers. Maybe it's already net positive?

I have the opinion we don't need AI to be perfect, just on par or better than humans from an aggregate perspective.
> Also why should the people on this site really care?

This war is the closest we've been to a nuclear war since the Caribbean Crisis in 1962. Especially if Russia wins.
Don't collect any information you don't actually have to, and if you do hold personal information, treat it basically like you'd want your own information treated, and you're basically good. It's really that simple.

The only people who think it's particularly hard or onerous are the people referenced by "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
Widespread recognition of the phenomenon of the moral panic has spawned the "moral panic panic", where legitimate concerns about the safeguarding of children have been swept aside as "just a moral panic", combined with the mockingly sarcastic use of the Simpsons quote "won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!"

Yes, we know there aren't really gangs of pedo-satanists out there. Yes, we know it's manipulative to use children as an excuse to push an ideology. But knowing these things breeds complacency - as if no concern at all is necessary. Vulnerable people do still face the prospect of real harms every day, and it is still worth defending them, regardless of whether previous attempts at defence have been overwrought.
This is now 'par for the course' with GCP.

A recent example, Firefox's Jan 2022 outage was due to an unannounced change deployed by GCP to their load balancers.

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/02/retrospective-and-technica...

I've read several GCP related stories over the years so my opinion of them has fallen quite a bit. For some reason GCP does not get the flak they deserve, and their role in outages tend to be downplayed, while AWS and Azure are scrutinized and raked over the coals for smaller incidents.

Montreal Symphony Orchestra drops Russian piano prodigy amid backlash
I'm not following you but very curious!

I have no issues getting my enterprise customers to configure SSO, so there's no practical reason for me to support password login.

In the consumer space, which is not my area of expertise, it seems that combinations of "passwordless" and OAuth are working for successful companies.

Where is the last bastion of places where a user can justifiably demand a password login option?

What do you mean by invasive security practices?
The article is amusingly direct about calling them spam / malware.

Instead of full self driving they should call it limited self driving. The acronym change would also indicate what kind of drugs inspired them to call the current version full self driving.

This seems to be a windows spyware, the OP refers specifically to hardware, and this discussion is about linux so I don't think he was referring to Superfish.

That is probably why the FSF has published an article with the title "EARN-IT threatens encryption and therefore user freedom".

But the point that the FSF needs to focus on is that EARN-IT is bad because it limits user freedom. The fact that users may choose to use that freedom to protect themselves from criminals isn't the issue. There might be an obvious and compelling reason users need freedom or there might not be. The FSF doesn't need to care and should be against the bill regardless.

Much like how the FSF doesn't care about whether the GPL is economic or not - they think software projects should all be licensed under it (or an equivalently free license). The point isn't whether freedom is good or necessary. That is taken as a priori truth. The point the FSF advocates is whether users have it.
Yep, this is something we've heard before. If you're really familiar with the Xilinx ecosystem, one way we've described Tensil is that it is the "Microblaze for ML" - easy to use, lots of flexibility and customizability, with performance good enough for most applications. The DPU and FINN would then be the more specialized tool for situations where you need specific features they are optimized for.
I don't disagree with you for the low-mid end of the market, but I don't think this question can be answered without a price range, haha.

I have a YDP-184 [1] that includes the CFX you mentioned. I actually think the weak point in its sound is the acoustics of my room, coupled with the inboard speaker placement.

What a dick move and also looks like they are desperate for money. If there was hardware differences involved I could accept it but this is pure software.

Also isn't FSD available at a later time for a monthly fee? So they are so desperate for this upfront 12k their markup in the people who purchase it later isn't enough.

Or they have such little confidence in FSD that people who get it at a later time will cancel the next month.
I'm thankful that HN is (kind of) remaining an island of politics-light STEM discussion, differentiating itself from the angsty college protestor vibe of places like Reddit. The response is muted because 1) increased maturity, and 2) moderation.
This is definitely going to work the way policy creators imagine and not incentivize companies to throw as many hacks under the rug as they can.
They don’t get flak because most folks are in AWS or Azure. You notice when AWS or Azure hiccups because of this. GCP, not so much (besides Spotify and Snap, although I believe Snap’s 5yr $2B GCP commit deal recently ended).

"I believe, however, that Putin and the siloviki (though not many in the wider elites) welcome this isolation [from the west]. They are becoming impressed with the Chinese model: a tremendously dynamic economy, a disciplined society and a growing military superpower ruled over with iron control by a hereditary elite that combines huge wealth with deep patriotism, promoting the idea of China as a separate and superior civilisation."

Sharing a little side project I've been working on in my free time (and open-sourced [0]), using a BLDC gimbal motor and a magnetic encoder to create a rotary input knob with all sorts of software-configurable haptic feedback.

You can find gimbal motors for pretty cheap these days, and some of them have hollow shafts, so I was able to mechanically and electrically support a round LCD wired up through the middle of the motor, with no need for a slip ring or anything expensive/complicated.

I also experimented with mounting strain gauges to the main PCB, which has some cutouts so it acts as a little bit of a flexure, for push/pull detection (and haptic feedback "click" provided by a super short torque of the BLDC motor) [1]

Happy to answer any questions you might have!

"siloviki" is literally a "men of power" ("sila" in Russian is "power" in English) => these include the FSB (an FBI equivalent, or the ex-KGB in practice) and MVD (the police). That's it.
This seems to be a pet theory of one researcher (Vopson). Have any other physicists written anything about it, supportive or critical?
Its the pandemic. I got my NAS before without a problem. Currently waiting for the tab and laptop to stock up again.
This is hard, very hard stuff. Between MLIR, the xla world, most HLS things (generalist stuff leaves a lot of perf on the table and you often end up in vhdl/asm anyway - while specialised stuff is often too restricted...) and the vivado 'let's write HDL/RTL like C', many broke their teeth.

I wish you good luck there, but you're up a huge task. You have all my congrats for going open source, and I think now it's mostly the only way forward. FINN is OSS and I'm very happy to have an OSS alternative. If only old Altera would go full OSS on new AI+FPGA stuff maybe we'd see great cross pollination.

Anyway, if Intel FPGA people aren't watching this, I can assure you they'll be looking soon.

Because Bitcoin currently has to be converted to a country-supported currency to be spent. If you could buy everything directly with Bitcoin then the Bitcoin-to-currency chokepoints would not work (and it is possible that some volume of Bitcoin already escapes such control points). I'm starting to think of cryptocurrencies not as currencies or like gold but as a replacement for banks and exchanges and SWIFT. Central bank supported cryptocurrencies may encourage much wider acceptance of them as a direct person-to-person/business-to-business/person-to-business/government-to-person method of exchange, bypassing banks. Of course government approved cryptocurrencies may also be designed to track all transactions complete with identity of the participants.
Come to think of it, I was relatively unbusy, knowledgeable about c++, in van nuys, and kind of a dick at around that time. Perhaps I, too, creates Bitcoin.
Oh, nice find. And that just cements my feelings that this book should have been weeded years ago:

* The author conflates the NES with all "home game systems". An entire chapter titled "how it works" describes the NES (in very broad terms) without ever acknowledging the existence of other game systems -- not even the SNES, which came out six years before the book was published.

* There are some unforced technical errors in the book, like claiming that a device called a "synthesizer" is used to "translate [sounds] into computer codes", or that "with an RGB monitor, the signals go straight from the CPU to the screen". This is not a carefully researched and written book. It's an author's quick swing at "kids like video games, we should write a book about those".

* Despite what you might assume from the excerpt, the book does not actually provide any actionable information about game programming. The BASIC snippet seen on the web site is only used to motivate a claim that games contain "lots and lots of commands", not to suggest that the reader can program a game.
You can see how ugly Bjarne's streams are even in this small article, ignore for a moment the strange fact that the Dobbs article uses the wrong operator on the last line.

cout << "number of elements = " << buf.size()
<< ", median = " << median << ", mean = "
>> mean >> '\n';

This is clearly improved by just having string formatting (a feature C manages to have, but here's Rust's)

println!("number of elements = {}, median = {median}, mean = {mean}", buf.size());

It's OK though, twenty years later C++ managed to get as far as

std::cout << std::format("number of elements = {}, median = {}, mean = {}", buf.size(), median, mean) << std::endl;
The real question, what these kind of articles do not ask, is why Turbo Pascal was smaller?

Hand written assembly was optimised, Pascal is easy to compile language, but there are a lot of other things

- Segmented 16 bit pointers
- No graphics or images
- Limited OS - no glibc, could only save A: and C: drives
- Computers could not hibernate or sleep
- Computers did not have periheral devices or needed special software: printer, mouse
- No network
- No multitasking
- No portability

For the editor itself

- No autocomplete
- No colours
- Not very useful error messages
- VI like navigation experience (got much better in 5 years with Turbo Vision IDE framework)

Also

- All documentation was in a dead tree format

For the good reference point on sizes, the bible text is 4-5 MB.

I think their point is that if you graph the number of people killed in wars, then it's dropping over time (which is illustrated on the site they link to). Unless Ukraine starts WWIII that's still going to be the case, even with Yemen and Syria etc. We just used to have a lot more wars.
Truthiness and bias are different.

Also, 'editorial' vs. 'news' are actually different categories and we know what they are.

'Fox 5' - their evening show is pure gossip and innuendo - it has nothing to do with reality or the truth. Their nighthime 'personalities' are editorialists. But they do have regular news segments as well.

All of that can be categorised.

Also, the source of their bias can be roughly identified. Mostly they are a corporate entity playing to an American audience. They have some relationship with the White House on some occasions.

We can delineate.

Because it's a fairly established institution, we can also look at the other kinds of bias. And of course, each personality is different.

They are not owned and controlled by the Kremlin, or the Canadian Government as is, the CBC for example. We can delineate there.

It's really not that hard.

And FYI it's not as though there is hard censorship - you can retrieve Putins' own 'Mein Kamp-ish' rants any time with fairly easy searches.

What we don't want is bad misinformation seeping into the top of arbitrary searches etc..

If someone wants to read 'My Pillow Guy' that's fine, but his opinion on Putin is not going to come up up first when I search 'Putin', unless there's some other, factual, direct relevance.

Not a stretch at all. The origin story of these panics have major parallels:

A DnD game gone wrong, which lead to a man killing himself since he lost touch with reality.

A Black teenager gunned down in the street by a racist White cop after running away and holding his hands up.

Both of these stories are absolute fiction. The former had a history of suicidal thoughts and substance abuse. The latter assaulted a police officer and tried to wrestle his gun away just minutes after he committed strong armed robbery of a corner store.
Ha, now you've made me curious. Let's see how everything progresses then. Thanks for the earnestness on these comment threads.
