See, you've gone and confused the concept with a music video. In order to avoid the drone noise issue, they've installed loud speakers with the lights that play the music you're hearing. Just like when you turn up the radio in the car to make that belt squeaking noise go away.

You've just confused the concept with music added in post when that's actually what it'll sound like when fully deployed.

Gee. Maybe there's no interest because nobody can use it yet because it's behind a feature flag.

This is the incorrect analysis anyways. This was always going to be true because a large portion of accidents are single vehicle accidents where the driver was at fault for the crash. Usually due to speeding, alcohol, youth, or a combination of them.

If they didn't have fewer accidents then something is very very wrong with the entire idea. Which may very well be the outcome here. Looking at multi-vehicle accidents where there was no fault of the driver who died, it's not clear that an automated system driving the car would have saved them.

Roads are built right next to cliffs and bodies of water. Semi trucks can completely destroy your vehicle in an instant. Large accidents on snowy or foggy highways happen. Drunk drivers exist and sometimes literally do come out of nowhere, a pickup truck moving at 60mph has enough energy to knock a firetruck onto it's side if you hit it side-on and freeway ramps dump out right onto residential streets. Parts fail, floormats get stuck, people don't wear their seatbelts, and you can get a license to ride on a motorcycle if you want.

It's a guess based on the research I've done, but my expectation is around 20% of fatal accidents can in some way be prevented by automation. You'd honestly prevent more fatalities by putting an ignition interlock on everyone's vehicle or building real barriers between traffic and pedestrians.
The video has a more reasonable answer.

The sensors are unreliable and expensive in terms of R&D. Having marginal parts which takes money from a finite R&D budget can easily result in a worse product. “They contribute noise and entropy into everything.” … “you’re investing fully into that [vision] and you can make that extremely good. You only have a finite amount of spend of focus across different facets of the system.”

His standpoint can be summed up as “I think some of the other companies are going to drop it.” Which would be really interesting if true.
It's taught here in Australia as part of many "advanced driver training" courses which are common for many using company fleet vehicles (especially country, off road, or heavy vehicle).

My 75% keyboard (a customised RK84) in front of me has Copy/Paste keys! I swapped the Print/Pause key-caps out for the copy/paste icons that came with the IBM-grey inspired key-cap set that I got for it (and a small macro to make them output Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V). Not the best placement, but is pretty excellent nonetheless: I can totally see why some people would prefer having dedicated keys for those. Genuinely handy

I'm a touch strapped for cash so I can't afford to get a 25mm prime for my MFT. But I have a 20mm "pancake" prime that works in really tight situations where I don't really need people to realise there's a camera pointed at them.

I have an older Canon AE-1 that I picked up a 50mm however and it's my favourite "go outside and shoot" lenses. Beyond the benefits that the article is citing, it's missing one of the greatest advantages of these lower focal length lenses is being able to have the lens not extend too far from your body. It's a bit dramatic - but you're kind of part of the action instead of a million miles away.
This was a key lesson I learned creating and deploying aws services at Amazon.
I dont see why its so odd. Looks like it was behind a feature flag. I imagine the time came where someone had to make a go/no-go call, and they decided no-go.

It wouldnt make sense to keep it as a feature flag forever, and once it is not a feature flag it becomes much harder to backout.
I remember watching an interview with George Hotz when Comma.ai was young, where he essentially said this as a critique of Tesla. He's a bit of a showman and likes to invite a little controversy when he says things, but I found myself agreeing with his point. It's not surprising to see such a practical company like Tesla face the facts about all these sensors eventually.
Totally agree with you. Especially about point 1. Codegen is one of the bluntest tools there is and should be almost always avoided.
Thanks!
We are trying to take those stuff away from developers and have it built in the infrastructure - such as built-in RBAC, access logs in the backoffice, and integrations to s3 and GCS that are controllable at per-user level.
I am pretty confident that most developers would take significantly longer to gather and organize all of their code, make sure that everything is in the correct order for presentation, and print it out on paper.

It would probably take me several minutes (if not longer) just to figure out how to display all of my recent changes across several repos, let alone print it without long lines of code getting cut off at the margin.

There are several other considerations you’d need to think of as well. Am I just printing diffs? If so, how much context do I need? If not, do I print out whole source files, and do I need to tag the parts that were part of my commit? Should I print 100-page generated files that I technically checked in to source control?

I would be very interested in a workflow where all of this can be accomplished by a typical engineer in a minute.
The problem with self-driving is that it is based on data, but the environment may change. See e.g. the case where Tesla thinks that firetrucks are roads.

So if fashion changes, pedestrians may suddenly look like road too, as just an example.

Another problem is that state-of-the-art classification networks have an accuracy in the 90% range. Given that a car has to take hundreds of decisions in a single ride, then even if the accuracy was 99%, you see that error rate simply gets too high.
You believe that 'minority' as a demographic term literally means 'anything less than 51%'? What happens when there is no '51%+' cohesive group? At this point is not the term 'minority' meaningless since every group is now a minority?
The playlist should be part of the record. The degree of obscenity and misogyny should be compared to classic rock or another set of "workplace-ok" music. Hard to gin up any sense of feeling it's important without understanding.

Also harassment regs may lean towards "prevent anything that anyone finds offensive in any way", in which case silence will rule, and that could be OK.
I disagree, but mainly because of the way humans perceive risk.

From a public standpoint I don’t think it’s sufficient because there’s inherent trust lacking in an automated system. With ape-driven systems we have a certain amount of trust because we can more accurately intuit what the other ape is reasonably thinking. This is not the case with autonomous driving which leads to a wider amount of uncertainty. Not unlike how we are intuitively less trusting of someone who is legitimately “crazy” even if statistically we don’ can’t say they are shown to be more dangerous.
> The LIDAR folks were wrong, basically.

According to who? Tesla? Because Tesla has a vested interest in trying to prove that they're right even if they're obviously wrong. That's why they constantly try to downplay failures, software issues, device issues etc.

I'm very confused by the attempts to discredit the usefulness of LIDAR. It's another tool you can use to improve the accuracy of your model. Sure, you can use a screwdriver, flip it around and use it as a hammer. But if you need to deal with nails, it's better to grab a hammer instead.
> You can never solve those problems in a generic way for any domain.

This is rather final. Honestly curious if this was shown to be the case or just the result of failed earlier attempts.

Notably C2P was largely so ubiquitous as it was often the only way to copy or backup copy-protected commercial software you purchased. Most software came on (relatively fragile and failure-prone) floppy disks, but they were often copy-protected by way of tweaking low level parameters to the drive when the disk was written, such that data beyond the boot blocks was essentially unreadable to the standard disk read routines. The boot blocks on the disk would load the appropriate parameters before continuing to allow the software to run from what otherwise appeared to be a corrupt or unreadable disk.

C2P gave the ability to tweak those drive parameters yourself during copies, and also came with a library of known software with the necessary configuration provided. Interesting to think that it wouldn't even be legal to own or distribute anymore in the post-DMCA world.
IIRC the plot correctly, the notion wasn't the admiral would "personally execute" Osyraa, it's that she would be tried for her crimes. I think even under Emerald Chain law, not Federation law (though I can't quite recall to that level of detail).

She refused, for obvious reasons.

It's a tad fraught to speculate what Roddenberry would have thought of the new Star Trek, but he fought in World War II so I'd imagine he'd understand the position that one does not accept the peace terms of, well, rulers who place themselves in a position where they are the only authority.

> you shouldn't take any life lessons from how it ended

Agreed. For example, I don't worry over-much about whether Admiral Vance's adherence to the principles of Starfleet over a tenuous peace that would last until the dictator across the table decided it had ended wouldn't make for good realpolitik. In reality, countries make strange bedfellows when dealing with powerful opponents all the time. Of course, history suggests those decisions have consequences, but c'est la réalité.

> There won't be any deus ex machina in real life to save elites from the consequences of similar decisions.

I sure hope not.

If you think it makes no difference, why would you insist on saying it the one way?

Meanwhile though, back to legacy admissions... so acknowledging it's a zero sum game, increasing "legacy" admissions means saying you want fewer students who aren't children of alumni. This means fewer first-generation college, fewer people from working class backgrounds (including white working class backgrounds, of course), and fewer Black and latino people.

If you also want to increase the number of students who are children of donors (which happens) -- it means decreasing most of those categories even more so.

How about if you restrict the number of admitted students who will need financial aid to attend so many total dollars of aid -- this is done completely openly and admitted, most colleges do not practice "need-blind admissions", meaning it's easier to get in if you can pay the full cost, which, as you say, acknowleding the zero sum nature of it, means they want fewer people who they believe will need financial aid (by not offering admission to those who they think do, they don't get the opportunity to figure out how to pay for it)

Are people upset about "affirmative action" equally upset about these things, which, as you say, are telling us that colleges and universities want, and are acting upon that desire, fewer first-generation students and fewer students from working-class and poor backgrounds, as well as fewer Black and latinx students?

Why or why not?
I’m sure there was exposure and involvement, but I would find it incredibly hard to believe if the brute force of the work was not a group of lawyers, with that exposure and involvement being easily exchanged for another, or even more hands off, CEO.

I can't speak for all of the mentioned incidents, but I know that the MTG swatting at the very least was fabricated for the specific purpose of trying to take down the website.

That's still begging the question - what is a sign (symbol/signifer)?

I'd suggest it's a signifier for a subjective state. You can persuade a symbol processor to do anything to any symbol collection, but the results are only useful if the symbols mean something - which is to say they have some analog to subjective experience.

If that's the case then computers and symbol processing are tools for working with subjective experience.

This does not mean there's a possible mapping between all symbol states and all of subjective experience. It's often assumed this is true, but it's a conjecture and has never been proven. It won't be proven until we know exactly what subjective experience is.

So the best we can say is that computers are tools for working with a subset of subjective experience.

Which is interesting enough in itself without being absolutist about it.

The only time I used Crystal for work was for creating zip files from a virtual file system in the database that fetched the real file files from S3.

It was pretty easy to write, but I kept on having some issues with the part of the standard library that handled the zipping.

As Crystal is kinda a small community, I didn't get a lot of feedback from the forums. So I just took a day to rewrite in Go, and its zip library worked great.

I'm sure I could have got it working with Crystal if I had more time. I haven't done anything else, but it was fun writing it.

I suspect other services do these things for advertising keywords, and to prevent objectionable images from being sent.

See this argument falls apart because:

It's a key-value store... I'm fairly certain people are aware of that concept, or can grok it fairly quickly once introduced to it.

Also as to "without any reason"? It handles js data natively. You're not having to immediately throw an ORM or a bunch of custom code to marshal data into and out of the db. People build more than just todo lists. There was also some intent of it being "low level" that others could build niceties like rich query syntax etc atop.

Now, that didn't really happen much, so the debate about it being "terrible" should maybe focus there on what got missed for that goal.
I painstakingly entered so many bytes into DEBUG from the back pages of PC Magazine. It was an amazing experience when they added the ability to pay $4.95 or something cheap (for the time) to access "ZiffNet" as a walled-off section of CompuServe and download the utilities from there.

Seems objectively worse than triplebyte in every posible respect. At-least with triplebyte there is some actual data about your interview rather than "passed 1st round, rejected at 2nd round"

lex's comment did not strike me as a dig. i am actually concerned by your comment because it makes me wonder if i am missing other things too? it just doesnt seem like a dig. it seems like he thought of something funny and wanted to share it. am i alone in this?

and also i dont understand your assertion that it was some kind of cynical maneuver to re-frame the question. he could have also said "yes, more sensors are always better but you can add an arbitrary number of sensors and so we had to decide where to draw the line. the cameras we use are capable of meeting our goal of full self driving that is significantly safer than a human driver. and this also streamlines the production and software which has a material impact on our ability to actually produce the cars which is of course necessary to meet the goal of making self driving cars. bloat could actually kill tesla."

this is logically the same thing that he said in the interview, so whats cynical about it? how is it underhanded?

also is there some intrinsic limitation of the dynamic range of cameras? people are talking about problems with dynamic range being intrinsic to cameras but im pretty sure that cameras and especially camera suites that do not have more problems with dynamic range than a human eye are possible to make and probably already on the market.
