I don't have domain expertise here at all but I'd like to hear the other side. Trapezoid estimation I believe I learned when I was 15 or so as part of standard coursework.

I would find it remarkable if all these accomplished scientific experimenters and scholars first encountered it here

Not impossible but I think Occam's razor would suggest there might be domain specific nuances to the implementation that makes it special.

On the other hand I've certainly encountered a ton of stupidly obvious techniques in my 30 years of programming which I thought were unremarkable only to discover people have developed a special language and narrative history of attribution to it.

You swim through the jargon presuming it's profound and enlightening but then ultimately get disappointed. It's an emotionally impactful experience so I tend to remember it.
Scanning Apps, Off the Record
Intraperitoneal injection isn't really done in humans, the closest equivalent would be subcutaneous or maybe intramuscular injection. I don't know about the safety of injecting DMSO into humans but it's probably not too bad since it seems perfectly safe when used for transdermal drug delivery. The bigger problem is that you're injecting a water-insoluble compound mixed in a small amount of solvent into what is essentially a big bag of water. Once that DMSO/PEG/whatever is injected, it will just mix with the water in your body, so the ISRIB will just precipitate out of solution since it is now surrounded by 99% water molecules. So it will never get distributed to all your organs, which is the goal.

Oh my dog.

Part of this is the fault of Tesla's marketing, but you are wildly off mark. The cars you are seeing are Autopilot, not FSD. Most of them are even the even older, radar-based autopilot.

Tesla Vision has no issues detecting white semis crossing your path. Vehicles with radar, on the other hand, struggle with discerning those from overhead bridges, so if one appears close to a bridge, you're SOL due to whitelisting.

Tesla Vision in FSD is a much, much more developed version which has been excellent about detecting its environment, especially now with the new occupancy network. Its decision making needs work but you will notice, when watching all those videos, that detection of vehicles - even occluded ones - is not a problem at all.

Your comment about useless data is also wrong. They are experts in their field and they know exactly what type of data they need. Both Tesla and Karpathy himself have shown on multiple presentations that they focus on training unique/difficult situations because more data from perfect conditions is not useful to them anymore. They have shown exactly how they do it, and even showed the great infrastructure they've built for autolabeling.

Your claim about cruise control from competitors being equal to FSD is laughable. They don't even match Autopilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK3NcHSH49Q&list=PLVa4b_Vn4g...
I really feel that you have been duped here. There is no reason to believe that Tesla Dojo even exists. At Hot Chips last year they showed some 3D renders of their supposed board. At Hot Chips this year they showed the same renders. At "AI Day" last month they showed a retarded humanoid robot. We have no basis to conclude that Dojo does, can, or will exist.
That must be for the original version, which was online. You can download Logseq and use it like any other local app. I don't know how they'd get access to user content.
Re: Extracting a machine-readable CI token

Don’t do that! Firebase CI tokens are not a good way to authorize with Firebase anymore. Use a GCP Service Account which you can scope very precisely and remotely adjust permissions / track usage.
It would be good. However security has to be thought about alot I don’t think AI is there yet.

It also goes out if its way to mention ways in which you can still be tracked (employer, isp, etc). This salacious headline is nonsense: Google employees joked internally about facts that the product clearly provides to users.
Cool idea. Capital costs would certainly be lower than any of the magnetic confinement designs, if it works.

The power plant design they show has a 150MWe target power. Will be an interesting engineering challenge scaling it up and keeping all the finicky little parts and seals in the gun working when by design it's connected to a (small) nuclear explosion by a long pipe. If the timing is right you could have a heavy rotating shutter shielding the muzzle from the backblast.

Ask HN: How does Google customize Search based on recent searches
Example: say you start a search on Google.com for "garage epoxy flooring". Then for subsequent searches Google is able to change the auto-suggest based on context of recent searches. If you type "best colors" the Google auto-suggest will show "best colors for garage epoxy flooring". In addition to auto-suggest Google also customizes the search results based on recent context. If I just type "best colors" then Google shows epoxy flooring colors.

It seems like Google is able to infer the context of Search and then user it to customize behavior in subsequent searches. I want to implement something similar to guide users of my app (It helps users find right gifts etc.)and I am curious if there is a specific tech Google uses to implement such customization.
I think they're doing a much better job of controlling costs on nuclear plant construction, so that wouldn't invalidate the claim about what you can do with 20 billion dollars.

If certain values are circumstantial, couldn't that just be combined into a higher-level formulation? Eg if a lower-class person values family, and a higher-class person values fulfillment, then you simply say "fulfillment is valuable when monetary and social needs are met" (aka Maslow's hierarchy of needs [1]), and that's something both people can agree on. No need to change anybody's circumstances.

You don't need full autonomy to mostly fix this, but the fixes are politically untenable (currently). The cars should be speed-governed, they should be speed-limit aware -- the car should routinely be overriding the desire of the driver. No, you can't go into the bike lane to get around traffic. No, you can't make the split-second decision to swerve around a car braking in front of you. No, you can't operate the vehicle at 100 mph in a residential zone. No, you can't go that fast right now; it's raining way too hard, doofus. No, you can't operate your vehicle onto a scheduled parade route.

You don't need full autonomy to create cars that prevent a significant percentage of driver -- to put it charitably -- errors. These are fairly straightforward problems. The opposition is political.

I’m not a VP and there is no way to promise that we’ll “never” be shut down, but Firebase is a successful product and additionally drives a lot of Cloud usage (which is certainly “core”!). I just don’t see any reason why a VP would need to sunset firebase to balance any books.
> I agree that a Transformer is an example of a "reflexive"

I said that it is not reflexive. It is learned. Just because after you learn something, it becomes easy does not mean that it is a reflex. I explained why language development can be done with little more than a transformer learning from how others behave when you make an utterance and from how you behave when you hear something, like a decision transformer learning what happens after it takes certain actions in Pong.

One might expect this to have been hit by HPN (high performance networking) users, but perhaps if they are storage I/O bound rather than CPU or network I/O bound, then probably not.
> No need to reverse engineer them, I built them, so I'm happy to answer any questions you may have (to the best of my memory).

What I think is needed is a definitive guide that approaches all the angles:

* Beginner intro

* Cookbook

* Full docs

* Data architecture tips

* Limits of rules and when to use a function instead

Having to ask questions is the annoying thing. Because it is a blocking affect on your flow as a developer.

I found that your team has gone to great lengths to help people online answer their questions.

But the DX of having a great reference guide would be nice.

Then surface area of firebase being so big I feel like this might be seperate from the Google firebase docs that cover a lot of stuff already.
There is a plugin system, so I'd expect you to be able to go crazy with it.
> I get really frustrated with how buggy and confusing FreeCAD is sometimes...

I feel like every time I spend any time with FreeCAD I get stuck within minutes by some kind of "Error 1337 has occurred" style non-explanatory dialog, and then when I search for long enough I find a discussion thread explaining that it's an error from the (parametric) kernel, that there's therefore nothing to be done to improve the message, and you're just somehow supposed to intuit that certain orders of operation are impossible. I've given up.

Solvespace seems a lot more approachable and while it's less powerful, the power all seems to be reachable rather than booby trapped.

For quick stuff I'm using TinkerCAD, which is a doddle.

I will have to give FreeCAD yet another go, I suppose. Maybe there's a threshold where the bugginess starts to be easier to work around...?

Edit: I should add that I only use Linux; if I were willing to change platform, the commercial options seem to be a lot better than the open source ones.

> It doesn't matter how much you overprovision, 10 x 0 = 0.

Yeah, but x0 only happens at night. I'm not sure what the multiplier is in a really bad storm, nor how long that lasts (~= night would be fine, you're already putting in that kind of storage).

> Overprovisioning plus a wide regional distribution could work, but then you need lots of extra power transmission capacity, which is also expensive, and will be 80% idle 99% of the time.

IIRC a global grid is (naïvely) ~= the cost of 6 months crude oil. Expensive in absolute money terms, but not relative money terms; though political cost is something else entirely.
Those things aren't equivalent. Useful nuclear fusion (i.e. more electrical power out than in) has not been demonstrated yet, and probably relies on techniques and technologies that haven't been invented yet.

On the other hand, we know how to make high-voltage DC transmission lines -- the only real questions are: how much will it cost, and is there some way we can do it better and cheaper?

There have already been DC lines over 2,000 miles long built that run at 800 kV or more. That's already long enough to reach several time zones away, and it's not a conceptual stretch to imagine linking several of these together to reach further. According to wikipedia:

> In 2010, ABB Group built the world's first 800 kV UHVDC in China. The Zhundong–Wannan UHVDC line with 1100 kV, 3400 km (2100 miles) length and 12 GW capacity was completed in 2018. As of 2020, at least thirteen UHVDC transmission lines in China have been completed.

> While the majority of recent UHVDC technology deployment is in China, it has also been deployed in South America as well as other parts of Asia. In India, a 1830 km (1140 mile), 800 kV, 6 GW line between Raigarh and Pugalur is expected to be completed in 2019.[58] In Brazil, the Xingu-Estreito line over 2076 km (1290 miles) with 800 kV and 4 GW was completed in 2017, and the Xingu-Rio line over 2543 km (1580 miles) with 800 kV and 4 GW was completed in 2019, both to transmit the energy from Belo Monte Dam. As of 2020, no UHVDC line (≥ 800 kV) exists in Europe or North America.

> Are you getting paid to work on this kind of thing, anywhere?

My dayjob is a fair bit higher level. I work on a sort of query engine on the JVM that translates an internal query IR/AST into dialect-specific SQL + other languages so you can query anything with the same frontend language:

I think it'd be neato to work on a database, but my dayjob is also pretty interesting to me.
Scalps bleed like crazy and they don't hurt much. Plus performing live has some kind of anesthetic quality.
Love htmx and this talk is a brilliant run down of where it works well.

But as always it’s about choosing the right tool for the job. Server rendered pages/fragments solve so many issues around security and time to develop a product, however it only gets you so far.

Ultimately I think the decision when choosing a stack comes down to how much state you need to managed in browser. The vast majority of sites needs very little client side state management, htmx and other tools such as Alpine.js are perfect for this. But eventually as you reach a more “app like” experience with multiple layers of state control on the front end you need to reach for a front end JS framework.

Now that doesn’t always mean going all in on a full SPA covering the whole of your product. It could just be a small fragment that requires that level of interaction.

Point is, don’t pick a tool because it’s “in vogue”, pick one because it lets you build the best possible product as efficiently as possible. For 80% of websites that could be htmx, and for the next 15% htmx probably works for 90% of their pages. It’s the 5% where htmx is not one of the right choices at all.
Sorry an issue with ssl, try again.
Not sure about the current state of the actual ML, but compared to other self driving companies Tesla has a treasure trove of data because they have so many vehicles on the road at all hours of every day. The edge cases are the parts that are hard to identify and solve so having all that drive time data to identify edge cases would seem to give them a big advantage.

>Why? It’s not because of its towing capacity (it can tow an impressive 10,000 pounds depending on the model), and it’s not because of its power (580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque). No, it’s the dreaded range.

>To the Lightning’s credit, Hoover says the towing was "effortless" thanks to the "instant torque" of the electric engine — so power clearly isn’t the issue.

Power might be more of an issue than you think.

In a gas pickup (diesels even worse for acceleration) to experience "effortless" towing of 3,500 lbs you first need the biggest engine they offer. (Then during non-towing operation this will always burn more fuel than a less powerful motor option, which would never be effortless when towing but perfectly adequate for lighter-duty use.)

But having the high-horsepower ICE motor is not enough. The only way you can affordably tow a big load is to really take it easy, especially every time you get rolling from a complete stop. You need to really accelerate way slower than most people would imagine or you will be burning significant percentages more fuel to cover the same distance.

And if you really use the most power your big ICE has to offer, it can be pretty effortless too (especially on 100+ octane) but you'll be using huge percentages of additional excess fuel to accomplish it.

So maybe electric vehicles are similar to gas where more available power than normally needed, combined with usage of this power toward its maximum performance level, end up being far more energy-intensive than more conservative power-balance and operation would be.
On the contrary, the article concludes on this note:

Most of firebase’s backend services have local emulators. Some even use the same codebase as production (real-time database). We’re also rewriting the functions emulator to use the functions-framework like prod (our emulator predated functions framework).

You’ve wanted something for years and now at last you are getting it - that fact alone has to make a person feel happier and feel like the trajectory of their life is turning in a more positive direction. It is near impossible to determine what consequences of cross-sex HRT are due to its direct biochemical effects, and which are due to those kinds of psychological factors.
I guess I understand (and respect) the argument that you only want to run code that you can vet and easily modify. But I don't think most people feel that way - I think most people expect that they're getting some service (like a browser) by allowing developers to execute arbitrary code they've built on their device. I therefore don't think javascript is abusive in the way you describe it, because it follows the paradigm people expect and want out of their software.
I remember looking up how people solved the problems on project Euler and there would always be a J answer for the first problems taking less than a few dozens characters.

At the time my own answers in C would take dozens or even hundred of lines. I didn't know J existed and thought people posting those absurdly small solutions were just trolling or running a scam.

Man was I left dumbfounded when I learned this thing actually runs and produces the correct answers.
Treated as a hobby, for me personally, it's 9/10. I spent a few days this week upgrading my Ender 3 with an extension kit to allow for much bigger prints. Great fun. It all reminds me a lot of messing around with PC clone hardware in the early days.

If I were doing it for a living... Well, getting the printer dialed in to reliably produce prints is a bit of a black art - but maybe the higher end ones are better for that?

Come to think of it, a lot of 3D printer owners seem to spend all their time printing new parts for the printer, which is endearingly circular...
