> Actual real world data says autopilot is on average at least as safe as the average driver in the average car.

Unless this is on the same road and conditions, instead of “autopilot where and when used vs. real drivers everywhere and everywhen” it is meaningless, even moreso if it doesn't also account for “autopilot disengages immediately before anticipated collision so it doesn't count as driving when it occurred.”
I think 99.9999% (rough estimate) of people treat a homeless person like a "normal person" by simply ignoring them. Unless there is a reason why one should start a conversation with another person, the majority of people just don't start any kind of interaction at all. And changing your behavior just because the person is homeless breaks the rule to treat them normally.
I see your point, to OP's point, I know a couple people who were horrified at what they saw and it did not match this public talk. Both started at least 6 months after this video, and both left Tesla within 8 months, of their own volition. Unfortunately, off the record.

Not to disparage Andrej, sometimes (frequently, even) what executive leadership thinks is going is not the day-to-day reality of the team.
The crashes were not of a kind that Autopilot could have detected earlier. Several involved stationary objects, that Autopilot seems to intentionally ignore because it can't tell apart what's actually in the way of the car from harmless features of the surroundings that will never cause a collision. Which just goes to prove: Autopilot = glorified cruise control. You must never expect it to keep you safe.
If autopilot disengages 1 second before crashing into a stationary object, does this count as autopilot crashing or the human driver?

Is autopilot engaged in the places where crashes are frequent, eg. during left turns?

What are the “scenario-equalized” safety stats for autopilot vs human drivers?
The problem in this case is network effects. I prefer not to use whatsapp, but if I want to chat with people who are on whatsapp, that's what I need to use.
They want full visibility into what everyone is working on all the time. Some managers, especially non-line managers, really like this idea. I can understand why, it sounds really good! Transparency can't be bad, right? In practice, it works a lot better to create fairly small teams, let them run independently and opaquely to the outside, and then coordinate between them periodically (bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, whatever is found to work best).
I hope this means they're discontinuing their GlaDOS project.
> because they aren't subsidized by the ads

That's a myth, even if subsidies do exist. Monitors were always more expensive than similar size TVs because they have better specs, more features, and longer warranty.

>But if you can afford it, there are 40+" 4k and 8k monitors to which you can plug AppleTV/Chromecast/a small PC with a budget discrete graphics card. Or you can get a conference projector if no monitor on the market meets your size needs.

Buying a smart TV but not connecting it to wifi seems preferable to both of these. It's cheaper in price (than buying a professional monitor), and has superior picture quality (compared to projectors).

> Thinking about that makes me feel like I ought to be using C in my own, much more modest attempt at a reusable infrastructure project [1].

Before you do that, read https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html

SQLite has a crazy amount of verification and testing. There are something like 640x the code for tests as for the actual implementation.

If you are looking to SQLite as an inspiration to write in C, you should also consider the verification and testing that makes it work.
You have either a hardware issue (lid sensor), an SMC issue (try an SMC reset, it's painless), or software you run is preventing sleep (which you can find by looking in the Energy tab of Activity Monitor. Google search for "os x sleep prevented") or you have some hardware plugged in (external displays and keyboards can sometimes prevent a lid-shut from triggering sleep; I forget the 'rules' around this.)

Also, you can set the power manager's hibernatemode to your liking (Google search "os x hibernate mode") but there usually no reason to adjust the default (sleep for 3-4 hours, then suspend to disk) given how fast storage is in macs these days.

Macs have been famous for decades for having the best sleep/hibernate functions in the industry and when yours didn't work properly maybe you should have investigated? Or at least not be whinging about Apple over it?
> I think to some degree it's a mystery. One analogy that can partially get there, is consider if we built a really powerful computer and simulated an AI person and world inside (assuming there's no soul, this seems plausibly possible). That person would just know the simulated space and time, and would think nothing else exists, but yet we exist.

How are the words “person”, “know” and “think” being used here? Are they labels for algorithms?

I remember learning during my ethics briefing (OMB, not congressional) that industry events frequented by feds and congressional staffers will oftentimes say on the invitation how much the catering will cost per person and provide a way for attendees to reimburse the event organizers. Most events will just serve coffee and muffins to avoid this (since it's generally considered kosher to take a small pastry and a beverage w/o needing to file an ethics disclosure or pay back the organizer).

My 2019 Samsung does a fine job at eARC using its factory firmware, but I’m fine with PCM stereo audio.

My 2016 OLED LG model had a firmware update that supposedly would halve the max backlight to the point where the TV was unusable. Since I never connected the TV, I was safe from this but as you said I might miss out on some features.
Even not SOC compliance just liability of a company.

If stuff fails and company gets sued - they will have to prove that they "follow industry standards" because if they don't follow industry standards then all kinds of bad stuff can follow.

IF you get ransom-ware and have an insurance - see the exclusions - you have to have EDR software on each server otherwise insurance won't pay.

Not following industry standards in terms of code - the same no insurance company will pay if they catch you on just doing stuff.

So running a business all kind of BS and it is not optional and just slinging out code is not enough.

Is it? It’s hard to think of a situation where moving a car I’m at most a couple of hundred feet from backward or forwards in a straight line by fiddling with my phone is superior to just getting into the car and moving it myself. Maybe I’m not finding myself and my car on opposite sides of a gorge often enough?
Do you have an income-sharing agreement?/Reporter who would like your insights
Hello: This post is a followup to the post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30782152

I’m a reporter working on a story for the education news site The Hechinger Report at https://hechingerreport.org/ about the future of income sharing agreements. For this article I’m looking to talk to people who had or have an income sharing agreement about their experience.

Here’s what I’d be interested in asking:

• What made you first look at an income sharing agreement?
• What’s been the best feature of your ISA?
• What’s been the most challenging or disadvantageous feature of your ISA?
• Would you recommend one for someone else?

If you’re in this category, I’d be most grateful if you’re willing to speak or know of someone who might. I can be reached at steven@stevenyoder.net, or 845-684-4297.

Thanks so much. Steven Yoder

If Facebook bans me, I might lose a way to communicate with hundreds of people, I might lose access to managing my business and talk to my clients. And often there might be very few viable alternatives.

As Facebook and other large companies become dominant in certain areas, their responsibility should grow, too. And banning users based on some algorithmic detection, without the ability to contact human customer support to understand and fix the situation, should not be acceptable.
I will counter this with the following.

My mother turned 60 late January this year, she received a bowl cancer screening kit which she did and they recommend she come in for a colonoscopy, which identified she highly likely had bowl cancer. 3 Weeks later she received the results for a CT with contrast scan which found no evidence of cancer else where in her major organs and nodes. 3 Weeks later she is having surgery to remove the cancerous bowl.

> I see a lot of governments in Europe subsidizing gasoline but at the same time I hear of record profits for oil companies. At what point are we (the tax payer) directly paying for those profits?

Fossil fuel subsidies are largely a myth. Don't believe me? Look at how the IMF defines "subsidy": https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WP/2021/Engli...

> Globally, fossil fuel subsidies were $5.9
trillion in 2020 or about 6.8 percent of GDP and are expected to rise to 7.4 percent of GDP in
2025. Just 8 percent of the 2020 subsidy reflects undercharging for supply costs (explicit
subsidies) and 92 percent for undercharging for environmental costs and foregone consumption
taxes (implicit subsidies). Efficient fuel pricing in 2025

A normal person would construe "subsidy" to mean a cash transfer from one party to another, not some difference between the price actually paid and what you think it should have been, based on some generous externalitites-based estimate. Even the IMF's definition of "explicit subsidy" falls far short of what we commonly construe "subsidy" to mean. I've seen things like LIFO (which firms in other industries can use as well) as a supposed fossil fuel subsidy that needs to be eliminated.

As their "record" profits? They are nowhere near as profitable in absolute or relative terms to FAANG. Go compare their financial statements (they're mostly publicly traded) if you don't believe me.

Apple releases security updates properly for the current (latest) version only. Older releases get security updates that sometimes don't fix all of the known vulnerabilities.

That's not true from my perspective as an American. China didn't historically make the same kind of continuing and increasing bellicose actions and claims as they do today. They have grown slowly over time, perhaps as China's military power has increased. Yes 50 years ago there was attacks, but China seems to be more threatened by the emergence of true democracy in Taiwan, and the development of later generations in a more independent societal direction (the people who left mainland China were being replaced/aged out of leadership by people who had never lived in China).

My Taiwanese friends have also told me that China has significantly increased their concern for the future.

Which are the best open books?
Working in academy taught me one huge concept about editorial world. Some publishing houses that work for profit tend to focus more on the quantity than on the quality.

For some months, I've been amazed at how many open books written by normal people (self-published resources) that need to be discovered. So I was wondering: is there anywhere a list of "open" books? Let's give some authors some notoriety.

A books/resource to be defined as open should be:

- a good quality content which is hard to achieve, especially when you do not have money to hire editors;

- free as PDF/HTML, but the author can still have donations, or can be paid for hardcopies;

- anyone can contribute to writing or editing! "source code"/content of the book is hosted in a Git instance;
Your speculative explanation is incorrect, as is clear from this user's other comments:

It's more: unsure of cost-benefit for healthy males without comorbidities up to 40 and women up to 30 (especially those who were already recovered from Covid), the insanity of recommending the shots to pregnant women with zero data regarding impact on fetal development, reactivation of latent viruses like herpes simplex which might suggest some level of induced broader immune dysfunction, and the potential for vaccine enhanced disease or OAS (especially given the use of the long defunct Wuhan strain spike protein in ongoing booster campaigns).

Anyway, focusing on the specifics of the concerns is to avoid the more fundamental point, which is that doctors are not some cohort which one can implicitly trust to be guided by pure objective truth and scientific rigor at all times, nor are they a perfectly homogeneous group in lockstep agreement on all scientific questions.

Unfortunately for Ukraine, the West does not mind a very long dragged out war. Such a war, together with the draconian sanctions that were imposed on Russia (and new one that will be added to the list) will bleed Russia white.

A war that ends, let's say, tomorrow, is not that good. If Russia wins, than it is monumentally bad for the West. If Ukraine wins (say Putin is ousted and the soldiers in the war zone refuse to continue to fight), then it's good for the West, but Russia lives to fight another day. That day could be 2 or 3 or 4 decades in future, but it's going to be a scary day.

The West prefers Russia to get so tired after this war, to lose the war appetite for many decades to come, like Germany and Japan after WWII.

Heads up that the article is exclusively about the Windows platform.
> so the things they support are device models, not software versions.

Except they don't publish any support dates with hardware either. Devices support the latest macOS/iOS/etc until they don't. At which point devices become not only obsolete overnight, but are vulnerable as well because the OS suddenly becomes unsupported due to Apple's insistence of bundling feature updates with security updates. Remember, this caused a lot of controversy when Windows 10 moved to this model, but Microsoft had the foresight to publish support dates for when they would stop releasing security patches for the previous release. Unfortunately, Apple's cult-like fan base frequently treats them with kid gloves in this regard, and insists we should just be happy we got free updates until now and we're not running abandoned-support-by-design Android.

I don't expect a device to be supported forever nor do I expect free feature upgrades. All I'm asking for is a published date that "X device or OS will receive security patches until Y date". That's it. It's a relatively simple request that is pretty much standard in the rest of the IT world so you can plan adequately.
