Seconded. I've been here for two years and I'm moving out because it's hot, humid, ugly, and car culture is brutal. However, it's a place where it's easy to get your feet under you and live a good life with interesting things. However, I can't recommend the suburbs - especially Clear Lake. They're the worst, most inescapably bland places I've ever seen.
Is the good news or bad news for Magic Leap? /s
real autopilot on an airplane is just keeping it in a straight line and constant speed - much less advanced than tesla's autopilot features. autopilot is notoriously stupid, that's why "operating on autopilot" is a metaphor for the mindset that causes careless mistakes.

as a name, it's a pretty good descriptor for what the system actually does. the misleading part is all the other marketing telsa does around it, and the muddying of the line between autopilot and full self-driving.
When I am king I will make it illegal to loudly worry about environmental impact (or anything else) without providing an order of magnitude estimate for the size of the problem. You don't even have to be right, just take five seconds to conjure a vaguely plausible number.
It is somewhat wild to me that PC towers are still a thing. So many other tech products have had significant form factor reductions in the past ~40 years yet gaming PCs have largely remained unchanged. (I understand we've had massive increases in computing capabilities, especially around 3D graphics and the power and cooling required for them.)
Why bother having apps you need in a given context be in a separate workspace instead of, say, tiling them so you can look at them all at once? I have one monitor for Slack/shells and one monitor for browser/IDE.. I see everything without needing to touch a thing

Thankfully I don’t think the UK is there (yet). Certainly not to the extent of the US. Parties other than Tory/Labour exist and do get significant votes.
Less than 20 years ago Kerry basically lost due to "flip-flopping". GW Bush as well was almost undermined by some smearing by a reporter -who unfortunately didn't do a good enough job to sink his candidacy.

People used to care more about higher politicians' lying. Today, people don't even blink. After Trump's antics, now we have Biden denying something he said the day prior and it's a non-issue at all.
If you wanted to make a tasteless joke about it you should have said car since that was the weapon used. But this wasn't a mass killing, this was a homicide due to jealousy. It wouldn't even be noteworthy if there wasn't an airtag involved.
I largely agree with your comments in this thread -- I'd been thinking about trying to express the same thing myself. I'd been guessing the motivation would be ML, where I feel that most people substantially overestimate how much they'd need.

Signals processing, though, is one of the places where I actually think a decent understanding of some of the higher-level concepts in linear algebra is really helpful. Linearity itself comes to mind, and maybe it just reflects my physicist's education, but it's hard for me to imagine having a working understanding of Fourier transforms without getting the idea of changing bases. I feel like you're about halfway through a first linear algebra course before you'd get there.

EDIT: that said, a good signals processing book probably covers a lot of this in sufficient depth if you can figure it out. The other catch-all comment I'd make is that linear algebra from a math class can look somewhat different from practical linear algebra on a computer. (That it's often a bad idea to directly invert a matrix for many computing applications is non-obvious from math class.) A book like Trefethen and Bau is great on that latter subject but is not a good starting point for OP.

As a European, I am deeply embarrassed of how weak the EU has been, and it has immensely increased my admiration for the USA.

Im not saying that the USA has had the moral high ground in the past few wars it participated in. Certainly not in Afghanistan (I think in Vietnam the case was less clear cut). But if the argument that the USA enters wars to spread freedom and democracy was ever true, it's in Ukraine.

No basic mistakes. No shut downs in the middle of the road. And is approved for use as a taxi service.

And you clearly see the benefits of LiDAR by the stability and consistency with which it identifies other objects e.g. cars, pedestrians on the road. The inability of Tesla FSD to accurately identify the bounding box of the truck at 6:06 is extremely concerning for example.
As someone pre-COVID regularly travelled between Detroit and SF I'd have to agree. Rents for really nice apartments, places with doormen and gyms, are 60-70% less than really basic ones in SF. They're also less likely to raise rents for awhile as there's a ton of new apartments that will be available in the next 12-24 months downtown.

I've also never seen a tent on the sidewalk in Detroit. South of Grand Circus Park is a big startup area. To be fair I have found trying to cross the park in the evening to reach restaurants on the other side I've quite often had to deal with very aggressive panhandling homeless people. I've never encountered this problem elsewhere in the city.

Here's another video by the same guy where he meets an ex-convict who is building a real estate empire one house at a time.

The advantages of autonomous systems in parts of their operation have already been studied for quite some time since they have been features on non-Teslas. Automatic braking systems help reduce collision, and lane keeping assist helps prevent accidents, and neither are perfect.

There is no question that public roads would be way safer if everyone drove a Tesla with the systems in place, especially given the fact that most people are going to be responsible with the system.
From what I can tell based on the news coverage, GPS trackers didn't exist before AirTags.

But seriously though, this does seem like the kind of thing Apple and Google should collaborate on and establish a standard so that any mobile operating system can notify people of unwanted trackers without requiring the installation of an app.

Signs that you're a good programmer
My comment was not talking about Musk specifically, it was talking generally about the idea of trusting the seller, whether it be of a house or a company, that their numbers are indeed truth. It's one thing to buy a house for $100K and let the seller tell you that there is no problems, its another thing to buy a company for billions of dollars and let the seller tell you there are no problems. And as my comment explains, its fairly simple for the seller of a company to make up a bunch of fake traffic to bump up the sales price. It's nice to be able to do the research yourself, although a lot of companies don't like/want you doing this kind of investigation. The kind of investigation I am talking about is a deep dive via shell access to servers/routers in a thorough, true manner and can be performed by an independent auditing company like one of the big five accounting firms.
This sounds a lot like the idea behind Dispatch[0] (aka, Grand Central Dispatch) on Apple systems.

I really don't think there is a way to get around repetition and practice. I am a competitive Rubik's Cube solver, and memorizing algorithms for instant recall is a big aspect for obvious reasons. If I go a couple months, without practicing, I need to brush up on algs.

Moral of the story, it is possible to get to the point where stuff is in your memory for a couple months comfortably. But beyond that you will have to do a bit of memory maintenance.
If your budget permits, I recommend getting an LG OLED in your desired size and a good AV receiver. Connect your preferred streaming box (we like the AppleTV) to the receiver and use the streaming box remote to control everything.

We have this setup and the LG has never been connected to the internet and its remote went back in the box after initial calibration and setup.
Wow, that's a new one on me. A new twist (and extreme) in dehumanizing people you don't like.
Some better examples of his point are how do you determine the color of lights (stoplights, blinkers, brake lights, cop car lights, and so on) so as to make legally correct driving decisions with LIDAR? Some other things LIDAR won't give you: the need to read signs (parking legality, stop signs, speed limits, construction crews with flashing detour directions, painted information on the road like lane markers and speed limits, wrong way signs, and so on). In general, you can't, because the sensor doesn't give you enough information - like color - to let you solve the problem. If you have LIDAR, but not vision you literally can't make a legally correct driving decision in the general case, because you lack the relevant data to make that decision.
This is a bad situation if you want long-term neighborhood and cultural cohesion, though, because it encourages turnover (particularly among less affluent groups).
Not really. Tesla markets their features a certain way with all the warnings present, and motorcycle manufacturers also market their features a certain way, and ironically enough, there isn't giant warning labels plasted all over the bike and/or dash about how dangerous motorcycles are.

Why? Because most anyone already understands that motorcycles are dangerous, and those that choose to ignore risks get fucked. Why should Tesla be any different?
I'd honestly be interested to see the exact opposite of this. Employers who prioritize running their business instead of social theatre.

> you still need to figure out whether it is a trashcan or a child

No you don't. You just need to avoid hitting it.

The problem with a vision-only system is that you need to know what an object is to determine the bounding box and thus how to avoid hitting it. Which is the problem we've seen with FSD where if you combine two options e.g. a boat on a truck then it gets confused because it hasn't been trained on it yet.
For those wanting to understand the wider implications of this, Eva Galperin over at the EFF has been trying to raise awareness against stalkerware for a while. She cofounded the Coalition Against Stalkerware [1] and has a TED talk here [2]. I suspect, sadly, that we're going to see a lot more of this in future.

I hurt myself doing handstands in college. I was doing them for several weeks, was getting to the point where I could start to walk, maybe take 5 steps. Then I felt a sudden pain in my neck and I crumpled, and that was it. For years after when I sneezed I would feel shooting pain in neck. Never thought, hey I should go to the doctor. Not sure if my experience was a fluke, but I am still tempted to try again (at 47), but it is scary.
Active income before passive.

The best "safe" passive investments might net you 10% annual returns, at best, if you're as good as Warren Buffett and in a strong economy. The effort of picking those investments is pretty high though, and could well be 40 hours/week. Most other higher returning ones are gambles.

If you have $1000, you'll can expect to get back $1100. Can you invest that $1000 into your career to make more than a $1100 salary increase? Books, classes, networking? Then the next level is buying time - dishwashers, not having to use coupons, etc.

At some point, you can't just invest enough money in yourself and that's when you look into passive income.

Businesses are generally not passive income, they're just a higher cap of active income.

Compare the quality of legislation passed before term limits to after (the last real structural reforms to state government were before term limits), I remember the difference. The current system encourages "make a name for yourself than move on to bigger and better things" and prevents the legislature acting as a base of political power - that gets in the way of long term thinking.

To the rest of your comment - I think big tent parties are good, but not ones that require ideological fealty the way current parties do, you can't build a durable majority with left social issues, a weird mashup or left wing and right wing economics and "progressive" requirement that everyone hew to proper "optics".

That's a recipe for never fixing any of the actual problems, with the added benefit of giving your base and activists plenty of ideological wars that can never be won.

Tiling can work if you have a large enough screen. Consider, however, folks that use a larger font size to reduce eye strain and work on a smaller laptop screen for portability. Also, there's a lot to be said for arranging your work area for focus and productivity -- eliminate unproductive pixels.

If I was 22 years old and had a large wraparound gaming monitor, then a tiling approach would probably work well. Truly, that approach did work for me when I was in my 20s. I'm still pretty interested in the VR office idea, but haven't bit bullet on it yet.
Nobody is saying it will be LiDAR only.

Every self driving car company (except for Tesla) uses both LiDAR and vision.

But they all rely on LiDAR for bounding box detection which is exactly the main problem Tesla FSD has.
Funnily enough we do have those laws for the old.telephone service we used to all use (in aus). Sadly the internet was classed differently and avoids all that regulation...

Beat cops should be a requirement in every neighborhood in every city. It makes the police more human and forces the police to see the populace as more human. I assume it's not done because of a combination of cultural reasons (cops don't want to walk) and budgetary reasons (it's more expensive somehow).
A classic radio receiver is reasonably easy to fix, because it's a pipeline. The usual tools are a signal injector and a signal tracer. The signal injector allows you to put in a test signal at various points in the circuit, and the signal tracer lets you listen to what's coming out. You start at the front and back ends, and work towards the part that isn't working.
Your situation sounds a lot like mine. We're even the same age and both bought a house last year, and have both been looking at starting a food business. Except I'm driving a Nissan Qashqai with 100k miles!

Something you realise when you travel around the UK is that only a handful of areas actually have a productive economy. In many towns, you find that the only outside money coming is from the government, either in the form of government organisations based there (councils, NHS, etc.) or benefits. That money then swills around the town on services like MOTs and hairdressers and so on.

That means the few productive areas like London, Birmingham and Manchester and a few others have essentially all of their production taken by the government and reallocated to these areas of zero/negative productivity. This isn't a new thing either. The UK has been in a "productivity crisis" since at least the late 2000s.

My family come from one of these productivity holes, and they are all on the take. Everyone's scamming the benefits system and any work they do is under the table.

Really I believe as a country, we need to face reality at some point. We have to turn off the tap that people have become dependent on and require that people figure out how to survive without it.

1. You cannot subsidise unproductive economies indefinitely. If there's no work in your local town, go somewhere else. It's a small country and somehow people from Eastern Europe manage to come here for work, so someone from Merthyr Tydfil can probably figure out how to get to Cardiff. Government spending should be on infrastructure to facilitate productivity.

2. The elderly are clogging up the system. Either we need to start cutting services to the old, such as reducing healthcare provision beyond a certain age, or we need to import massive amounts of productive labour from other countries to rebalance things, and build huge amounts of housing, hospitals, schools to support it.

3. We need to rebuild as a country of innovators. This means making the burden of regulations proportional to the size of your enterprise. But we also need a cultural shift here too. If you have an idea here, everyone will quickly tell you why it won't work and you shouldn't try. If you do it anyway and are successful, you become loathed. Tall poppy syndrome etc.

Everyone is blaming Brexit and sure, Brexit didn't help matters, especially over the last few years. But there are lots of countries doing fine outside the EU, and these problems started well before Brexit. Our problems are deeper rooted and, perhaps, in many ways EU membership was hiding them.
Don’t jinx it! Really, it’s probably PCI slot form factor graphics cards that is keeping it alive.
Same here. I'm surprised it still exists as I never again logged in or heard about it.
Unlike the old days, though, you have to actively not download data, as opposed to not actively download data. For example, make sure synching to the cloud is off (moving a folder, especially if you’re not always connected can easily be an accidental replias of 10GB), making sure an OS update won’t be downloaded (easy on windows but not easy on MacOS except in the case of iPhone tethering), and be careful about browsing (Reddit or news sites can easily use hundreds of MB in a few minutes).
These aren’t GPS trackers though- GPS trackers are expensive, use a considerable amount of power, and require subscription fees to a service provider.

An AirTag is a dumb BLE chip that screams occasionally, and piggybacks off everyone’s iPhones which already have both GPS and cell subscriptions.
I wonder how much the acquisition was
For those missing context, Insteon is a smart home company that shut down suddenly a few weeks ago without notice to it's users, essentially bricking peoples smart homes.

Good for Ken and the team to take this on. I'm not an insteon user, but I hope one of the first tasks they take on is to either open source the servers, or update the system to be able to work offline, should they decide to kill the service in the future.

The lack of concern for it's users and the way Insteon was shutdown probably had a large negative impact on the smart home industry. Thanks to these dedicated fans, it hopefully has a happy ending
This build really resonated with me because the Aptiva was my first IBM ~~compatible~~ PC.

I later broke it learning how to work on PCs as a child. If I can find where it ended up, I may very well do the same build.
The audio did not play automatically.
You couldn't pay me to use it in stop and go traffic. My stress would be through the roof. I was using Autopilot once on one of the straightest stretches of highway in America (I-80 as it passes through Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah). With no cars on the road, and perfectly clear conditions, Autopilot decided that the lane I was in was ending (it wasn't) and began merging on to the shoulder.

I've never used Autopilot without it doing something clearly stupid. That is not a recipe for "stress free."

Are you sure we're talking about the same thing here?
There really is no economic growth in Europe, outside of Germany. If you look at the largest market-cap companies in UK and France, for instance, they are all petroleum based. Since these businesses have done poorly for the past 20 years, you get the phenomenon of their stock indices not growing even a little in 20 years[1][2][3]. This would be disastrous, but luckily there is the US stock market present for their citizens and institutions to invest in.

>If we can simulate nuclear reactions, we can simulate consciousness, and that will result in real consciousness.

Nuclear -> consciousness doesn't really follow, especially when any simulations of nuclear reactions are founded in an extremely more comprehensive understanding of nuclear physics than we have of consciousness.

Next, the implication of simulation -> creation, when applied consistently to you example, is that simulating a nuclear reaction sufficiently well could produce an actual nuclear reaction, but I doubt anyone is going to fat-finger the next Chernobyl by screwing up a simulation.

It may be entirely possible that the tools needed to create a consciousness are as different from those needed to simulate one as are the tools needed to simulate a nuclear reaction from those needed make one.
