I have some theories.

The first part is the general assumption that the endgame of self-driving cars is robotaxis. I don't personally buy this--most people who own their own cars today clearly prefer to own their own cars over relying on taxi services or public transit--but this is dominant assumption you see in newspaper articles and business planning. And I suspect it's mostly driven by greed for recurring service revenue over one-time sales revenue.

And the second part is the aspersions to Uber (as a stand-in for all the similar services): renting your own car out as a robotaxi is a lot like being an Uber, except for being the driver part. Of course, Uber itself is basically a losing model that doesn't really compensate enough to cover the wear-and-tear on your car from the extra mileage acting as a taxi, so it's not entirely the best model to be emulating. But how could a $10 billion company possibly be wrong?

There is really no reason to keep on adding stuff to OSX/MacOS. It's done. It does everything it needs to do. It has been done for something like a decade. It should be in maintenance mode, with bugs being fixed as they show up and nothing really changing.

And yet every year there's a new version. Mostly it's a bunch of new features on the bundled programs that I don't ever touch. And a new skin on the GUI. Sometimes it breaks something that was working just fine; I personally quit staying up to date when I balked at a new OS whose main feature was "broke all 32-bit apps forever". I finally upgraded to the latest version in the past few months so I can deal with getting stuff working on the M2 Air I'll be getting soon. Preparing for that has made me replace two perfectly-functional drawing tablets because Wacom's newest drivers won't support them and the ones that do predate the M1.

Honestly I doubt I'm gonna be upgrading that M1 from whatever OS it comes with until the latest version of Illustrator stops working on it, or Apple stops doing bugfix releases. Or if I have to replace it because it gets broken. I just do not need this endless cycle of change for its own sake, done by people whose idea of what a computer "should" be is increasingly shaped by growing up with an iPhone in their hand instead of an 8-bit computer on their desk.
Are these outside "engineering and design" reviews from a big conflicted youtuber stockholder guy (Sandy Munroe)?
Someone needs to tell the Manjaro folks about this.
> Why are 3rd party applications distributed as Disk Images? Then some as package installers? It's weird and nonsensical.

Maybe you use a lot of paid software?

I just use homebrew for everything, and it just works(tm) 98% of the time. Which is way better than my experience with Windows. I tried using a variety of Nanite, Chocolatey, etc. And none of it seems particularly mature.

> Mac hardware feels great, but I just cannot understand why it's the preferred developer platform.

In my experience, Windows is developer hostile if you aren't using Visual Studio. Almost everything is deployed to Linux, and OS X is close enough that most stuff just works, but the drivers and UI are also completely dependable.
mvSQLite checks a lot of my boxes. The FoundationDB requirement makes it suboptimal for tiny little node/rails/laravel apps, though. If we were in the business of hosting FoundationDB it'd be perfect.
It's shocking to me that people are willing to pay to be beta testers for Tesla's entirely-from-scratch manufacturing process and smartphone-with-wheels style of car experience but it doesn't matter what I think - that's the beauty of capitalism.
The suspension on the model 3 and Y is definitely not luxury. Nor is the interior build quality. I own a model Y and there’s plenty of creaks and noises in it that other car models don’t have. Also the highway FSD is still ridiculously bad with it’s phantom braking where at 70MPH your car will just slam on the brakes. And highway driving is the easy version that most other manufacturers have now too.

And now it looks like Cruise and Waymo have full self driving in San Francisco which looks amazing. There’s hour long videos of it navigating perfectly and smoothly in a jam packed city. Nothing like the Tesla videos which show it almost slamming into bikes/curbs or just freaking out and stopping in the middle of an intersection.

Has great acceleration though and charging at home is great or on the road with superchargers. But Teslas edge is not as wide anymore.
I mostly use make like a package manager agnostic version of the "scripts" section in package.json, and some of the recommendations here are like a revelation for me. I didn't know you could change the tab character to a > for the commands, that's such a great improvement imo.
In the us, there is an unspoken belief that preventing criminals from ""winning"" is more important than protecting citizens.

This is why police fired into a stolen minivan that had a unrelated child and a shoplifting/carjacking suspect in it, killing both. Protecting the child took a back seat to punishing the prep.

Therefore CP laws very quickly stopped being about protecting the children and more about punishing the pedophiles.

Vindictiveness and spite are the unspoken role models of the US justice system.

Nudity in kids is seen as obscene purely because a pedophile could find it arousing. We are preemptively sexualing children in order to prevent their sexualiztion.

A child was once forced to masturbate in front of a camera by COURT ORDER. Police held them down. All because the child was a victim of child pornography and the court wanted a "comparison image" in a similar arousal state to prove it was a image of that child.

Once again, a child was victimized by the justice system, in order to punish a perp.

Never make the mistake of thinking anybody in the justice system gives a rats ass about protecting anyone.
The simulation… of this. Video games are all simulations of universes of varying complexity and laws, only some of which corresponding to our reality. More generally, there’s no requirement that a complex/comprehensive simulation must reflect some reality — it just needs to be internally consistent.

Why is also not really a requirement either; we already know that “for its own sake” and “because I could” has been sufficient justification for many of our concoctions. There could be a real reason… but it doesn’t really matter if there is or isn’t. Let’s say to compute the ultimate question to the universe.

And the Who, ultimately, exists outside of our universe, and thus presumably cannot be identified (just as your sims character does not know of you… he can only detect your impact on his world — if you impact it).

The main issue with the simulation argument is that it doesn’t matter if it were true; if the simulation is done correctly, it’s indistinguishable from not-simulation — and you presumably only exist within the simulation so there’s no matrix-style breakout. There’s nothing to do with this information
Can the UK's NHS learn from Germany's health system? (2018)
It's usually implied in most Georgist proposals.
True, but the question is: will the payload suffer less?
Pushing it in terms of performance and complexity. We have high QPS and need low latency, a few milliseconds to do a lot of work. Baseline performance of nice idiomatic Elixir is good enough mostly for general business logic. Tools like Recon help you find bottlenecks. You can move state off heap into ETS to reduce GC, or share a public ETS table to eliminate inter-process communication. You can dynamically recompile a module at runtime when configuration changes. You can move really hot loops into NIFs. These are all relatively easy once you know how and really good at eliminating bottlenecks.

On call is great. Tail latency (p99.9 and up) is great, much better than Java, due to per-process vs stop-the-world GC. Remote console is a superpower, lets you debug in production. Minor flakiness tends to get handled silently be supervised processes crashing and getting restarted. Elixir stuff just pages us much, much less than other languages.

Apple's take on privacy is the same as FB's.
If user data stays at Apple/FB it's private.

But that's not privacy at all.
Any additional confidant besides the sender and the recipient is a breach of privacy.

You wouldn't let it count as respecting privacy either if the post office read all your letters and stored the texts.
For the price of one Tesla FSD, you could buy three Tern GSDs - an electric-powered bona fide car replacement that exists right now.

No, I want my Debian machine polluted with Snap garbage to run Certbot. Find someone sane to promote this to. :)
I had a similar experience. They said I could test out of it if I took every test and did every homework assignment. And that is why I didn't get a minor in CS. Fortunately, at the time they didn't strictly enforce course prerequisites so I was able to take a few higher level CS courses, but for 300 level classes you needed a signature from a CS advisor, which I couldn't get.
It seems like if you discount third-party applications, you should also discount the addition of peripherals like additional monitors, as they're not the stock experience either.

This seems to come up with every argument about operating systems. People say it sucks if you have to use third-party applications, but I vehemently disagree. The fact that you CAN use third-party applications, the fact that they have sufficient access to make the experience better, the fact that the community exists to make them... I think that's a major pro in favor of an OS.

The lack of respect for education and the teaching profession will be the downfall of the West, IMO. It’s not like that everywhere.

My father was a teacher and I am very proud of that. However, I grew up thinking “my goodness, I never want to do this”. It’s a real shame.
For anyone considering paying for this, check out Comma AI. It may do enough of what you're looking for, and it's only $2k.
I'll second Digikam. It's fairly good (though buggy under Windows 10, I assume since it's a KDE project it works perfectly under Linux).

I've had my photos sorted into yyyy\yyyymmdd folders forever, it makes finding things much easier.
What if it was more widely accepted to use placebos in certain cases where diagnosis is inconclusive?

Much of modern "vagus nerve connection/mind body" books or childhood/adult trauma books talk about this phenomena of the pain "being in your head". There's also John Sarno's book about back pain. What about the untethered soul perspective by Michael Singer?

I was a huge skeptic of this type of "healing" for my whole life. When I was extremely depressed and experiencing immense pain in my chest area on a daily basis for 14 months where cardiologists had no clue what was going on, I started to go through this "unlearning of the pain". Now that I'm on the other end of it, I feel like I have tools for understanding much of the pain/anxiety introduced by our mind.
There are many ways to compensate teachers [1], but in general, you really shouldn't make categorical statements on matters you are completely unfamiliar with. I help manage the finances of someone who is in the position of being unable to collect any social security benefits from the relatively brief time she had a regular job which paid into social security prior to becoming a teacher, and is also unable to collect her spouse's Social Security survivor benefits (she literally receives zero dollars from Social Security, though if she had never worked a day in her life, she's be able to collect her spouse's survivor's benefits). You've made quite a few comments in this thread: how many of them are as badly informed as this?

"Windfall Elimination Prevention" and "Government Pension Offset" are things you can google if you're interested in learning a bit about this stuff.

[1] States whose teachers participate in their own pension plans instead of Social Security include California and Texas, so it's not like these are rare concerns

Algolia's forced fuzziness and limited number of results per page are a drag. Why can't they provide any search controls? Or at least support the "-" operator to exclude a term.

> It's amazing how "solutions" never seem to actually get around to simply paying teachers more, and maybe not expecting them to be child-rearers, in lieu of parents.

In a neighboring town parents tried to set up a "hotline" where teachers would have to be available at night to intervene on google chat related social incidents. They just don't seem to get that at 3:15, the kid is your fucking problem again. Leave these poor teachers alone.
Are Teslas really end of life after 8 years? Why such a limited lifespan?
But the gpp wasn't talking about Windows help. He said documentation and Visual Studio; I presume he's talking about the MSDN CDROM that came with a VS installation. You could optionally access the docs from the CD or install it to your hard drive for speedier access.

And it was quite good. You could learn just about everything you needed to work from it, offline and from one source.

There are many things I did not like about Microsoft back then but their developer ecosystem was not one of them. Tools were expensive and closed but quite complete and well put together.

Until I learned about open
source and free software I considered MSDN to be the pinnacle of how software development should be.

These days it just feels like MS can't decide between free or prosperity and so can't seem to get either one right.
The tooling is definitely rubbish, but that's something that can be iterated over.
YouTube can't provide enough information to make a determination about the reliability of a safety critical system. The video that ends up posted could be the best result of multiple attempts and many of the "testers" use hints like pressing the gas pedal or hitting the turn stalk to give the system more confidence in maneuvers that it's otherwise having trouble with. Further, many users who post bad experiences get negative feedback from their audience and sometimes even delete the video and DMCA people who re-host it.

Beyond the problems with YouTube as evidence, its very clear that Tesla isn't operating a proper safety lifecycle as part of the beta and its not clear that their approach and their current hardware is even capable of solving the remaining problems with FSD. Having already sold the hardware as FSD capable, Tesla has created a problem where the hardware drives the validation process of the system, rather than validation process driving the hardware. This is a fundamentally unsafe approach to safety critical systems.

Given that ego minimization comes from viewing oneself with respect to a broader group/context, what is the effect of isolating one’s identity from the group/context? Wouldn’t it have the opposite effect?

If someone is constantly being told how different they are from people in a group, they are less likely to closely identify with the group. Or with any single group. The end effect is that everyone becomes isolated, purposeless, and egotistical.

Obsessing over intersectionality achieves this purpose flawlessly. One can slice a loaf of bread only so many times before all that’s left are crumbs.
How about "your docker builds are wrong", too.

Don't generate some random id and a tag (as in the post).
Use docker's "-iidfile" flag when building to write the actual id of the image to a file which can then be used in a "docker run".

Likewise, you can use "--cidfile" in a "docker run" to output the id to a file and use that later for accessing it.
I don't think it's quite as strict as you're making it out to be.

I was in a park in Manhattan last week, which had a bunch of big sprinklers for kids to run through. No one was naked in the sprinkler, but some parents helped their children change in/out of their bathing suits out in the open.

(Then again, I only remember this because I was a tad surprised by it.)
If it was up to me, all data would be publicly available aside from emergency recovery email and password.

This would include mod commutations and mod logs; unless it was security related, which would have a formal process with deadlines for release.

To address you specific question as why the comment voting data would be of use, among other reasons, it would allow users to have custom filters. For example, posts and comments with high up/down votes tend to be flamewars. Mods also random boost/ding posts/comments too.

I recently rented a 2022 Model 3 from Hertz for 9 days. It didn't have the FSD option available, but it did have the preview of what the system would see. Based on that alone, I was alternately impressed and terrified of what the FSD experience would be like. It was mostly accurate in showing other vehicles, but some of their trajectories when turning in front of me looked like a really bad video game with weird orientations and jumpiness. People crossing the road were sometimes picked up and sometimes not. It showed the traffic lights, but didn't display any understanding of turn lane traffic lights. I had the warning for following too close enabled, and it mostly worked but it got confused going through a parking lot once. If this is meant as an advertisement for FSD, I'm not convinced.

Can you help me locate the robotaxi fleet released in 2020?
While its main point is interesting to think about, this article still has a view of "religion" that is (despite token mentions of Buddhism and, via perennial philosophy, Hinduism) very influenced by Abrahamic (monotheistic) conceptions: especially in putting beliefs/faith as central:

> One of the primary attributes of any religion is its creed. Each world religion professes a unique set of metaphysical beliefs, which is central to its identity. Anyone who contradicts or denies these beliefs is condemned or cast out as a heretic.

Consider also other aspects of religion (daily practices, restrictions on diet and behaviour, rituals, ceremonies, striving, seeking, penance, purity, community) — they support the central thesis and in other traditions are more central than creed. (See e.g. https://blog.gaijinpot.com/japan-religious-atheist-country/ and comments thereon.)

For that matter, the "scientism" mentioned in the article itself can be either monotheism-inspired (only believe scientific things, believing anything without proof is "unclean", we're better than the ones who came before), or focus more on other aspects (the attitude of discovery and humility, improvement of self and the world, …).
Regarding below comments, and Apple's desire to enter the ad business and still keeping data/not respecting privacy, that's definitely a bad thing, but I still am really happy Apple did this to Facebook/Zuck. Imagine building an entire business that ceases to be profitable as soon as you can't spy on users. It's entirely corrupt. If you took the same ability away from Apple, they would be fine, because most of their business model is actually trying to provide something of value to the world, instead of profiting off of catalyzing it's downfall like Meta.

I wish we could do the same thing to Google.
> I don’t want them to make any money from advertising, because then they have a conflict of interest and their pro-privacy arguments fall flat.

Absolutely. Advertising and professional services (read: consulting) are both inherently user-hostile channels of revenue, and dangerous enough they should be capped for a company's own strategic good.

Some paths are too seductive and dangerous to naively wander.
The author of that article is at best very unreliable and at worst just straight up Russian propaganda here is a retort to pretty much everything he has said.

https://dailysceptic.org/archive/how-accurate-is-jacques-bau...

It’s also interesting that article as far as I can see does not at all cover the current wars losses, all it seems to do is repeat a bunch of Russian propaganda.

It’s always funny to see Russia trying to involve NATO countries in this war in there propaganda, because it’s okay to lose to NATo where as it’s kinda pathetic for Russia to lose to Ukraine.
You care when you need to deploy stuff to remote servers the time difference between 10MB and 330kb. There’s also data transfer costs to consider.

> I am objectively less productive with a single monitor than I am with multiple.

I've tried multi-monitor setups before with both Windows and OS X, and I just don't like them. I moved to a 43" 4K TV, and I like it much better, especially with a window manager like Rectangle. If I need extra screen real estate, OS X has pretty good support for virtual desktops, but I haven't felt the need yet.

One of these days, I might feel cramped by my setup, but I suspect that I'd rather go up to 50" than get multiple monitors. Especially if I could go 8K by then.
Well, paywall that this certainly don't do anything to help consumer convenience stick around.
The "media problem" is completely earned by Tesla. You know how you avoid bad press? By consistently under-promising while over-delivering and bending over backwards to keep your customers loyal and happy even after they've handed over their money so that when they need a new car they return to you.

German automakers are a great example of this. Whether it's gas or electric they significantly understate the performance and efficiency of their cars while in the real world they always exceed what they've promised.
