It's shockingly good and definitely worth 20% of the value of a car, for me. Two main reasons:

1. Your body doesn't feel tired after driving, because besides the effort of a hand resting on the bottom of the wheel, your body can be completely relaxed the vast majority of the time.

2. When FSD is on, you can completely stop paying attention to navigation-related decisions. You still have to pay attention to driving and intervene sometimes (most interventions are just a tap on the gas to give the car the confidence to go, because it's biased to caution) but every decision about when and where to turn is completely taken care of for you. This frees up a lot of mental overhead when you're in totally unfamiliar territory, including overhead that, without FSD, would pull your attention away from driving, making you less safe.

I didn't get the magic of #2 until I used it on an unfamiliar drive home in New England backroads with lots of turns and realized I was paying attention to the road and my conversation with my partner, and none at all to where we were going. Then we were home.

The one non-ideal thing about FSD Beta right now is that it's really easy to lose it for an arbitrarily long period of time.

What happens is it's fairly easy to have your hand on the wheel on a straight stretch of highway and still get the nag. And there's a small but non-zero false negative rate when you wiggle the wheel to satisfy the nag but your wiggle is insufficient. And because it becomes so habitual and because the car beeps at you for other reasons too, there's a fairly high rate (at least for me) of wiggling to satisfy the nag and failing to notice that you didn't wiggle enough.

The odds are small but after months of long drives it's pretty easy to accumulate the 5 "strikes" that trigger loss of FSD Beta without violating the intent of the nag, i.e. taking your eyes off the wheel or the road.
"No one at all" wants a car where you can just get in, input the address, then ignore the wheel and what's going on outside until you get there?

I think many, many people would beg to differ.

Thing is, ChatGPT is already incredibly useful for searching random things you know enough about you can evaluate responses critically. The alternative here is doing a regular search, and wading through SEO-bloated, ad-laden content marketing "articles". The quality and reliability of information is about the same (or even favoring ChatGPT), but without 90% of the text that's just filler, without bullshit, ads, upsells, tracking scripts, etc. I tried it a few times and it's a much better experience than the web. I'm gonna be using it for as long as it lasts.

Okay he posted a receipt for the transaction and it was hundreds of dollars. I think they guy doesn't understand exchange rates.

The amount he paid for 1 year is worth about $120 today and then he's somehow dropped an order of magnitude AND forgot about the punishing inflation the Lira has seen.

I think I'd suggest OP is at fault.
If large infrastructure changes are in the mix, then the self-driving problem is trivially solved using a pair of metal guide rails. They also greatly increase the cargo capacity of the vehicle, a win-win.
To me, “full self driving” has always meant the car has a built-in cab driver so I can work while the car drives to my parents for dinner 6 hours away, then sleep while the car drives me home. I’m not sure how the phrase “full self-driving” could mean anything other than that.

Edit: When I pre-ordered a Model 3 Musk’s promise at that time was literally “press a button and your car will work as a taxi to earn money when you’re not using it”.
If they are actually cleaning house, great. However, most leadership purges are spearheaded by people even worse than the ones ousted. Perhaps Greece is far less corrupt than most other countries.

My take on it is more like "why bother with the LAPD when Rodney King was driving drunk?"

Time will tell, but I'm not holding my breath.
My take is that there's many unnecessary complexities (at least in many cases), where using an old, battle tested, "boring" technology suffice. The graph just seems to be an illustration of that, but it focus on storage (there could be a better graph that focus on the database only, but I guess the message is conveyed)

You, as it's encrypted (in case of apple, not sure about Google). Backup is up to you, you can also backup to other services such as nextcloud.

I've got a young kid and I'd think twice before letting this model explain any science to him. If your criteria for whether a model is good is "it fooled a 9th grader" well, I don't know what to tell you.

I think you have a point about your tkinter example. That kind of stuff _is_ a lot more convenient than googling and copying and pasting code. But if you push it beyond stuff that you could easily find on stack exchange or in documentation somewhere it doesn't work that well. Like I said, its a search engine with a lot of downsides and some upsides.
I haven’t read any of your books yet, but I can’t overstate how much I respect your stance on pricing and impact. Thank you!

Hey,

I am a research engineer/applied ai person building vision models in healthcare domain. I am currently preparing to transition to engineering roles like you did. For that, I am currently going through web dev - both frontend and backend. Would love to get some pointers from you on my approach and any recommendations from your side. Thanks!
Man, I agree but I also really disagree.

I think you should keep complexity down by only using postgres, but just use it as a sequel database until you scale enough that it's a problem.

90% of the time it's never going to scale that far.

When it does, use the tools people have made to do those jobs correctly. Do not hack you way into half-made tools put into a database that isn't specialized in that job.

It seems like you're making your life more simple by having only one system, but you're having that one system to so many things at the same time that it's going to be an absolute kludge in the long term.

Does anyone have experience trying something like this? If you did, is this how it turned out or did it actually work all right?
The changes in Manifest v3 make a lot of sense. It's absolutely true that we can't trust extensions or their developers and they should be restricted as much as possible. Forcing them to declare to the browser what they want done so that only the browser touches the user's private information is a great idea.

It's just that certain extensions are so important and trusted that it doesn't make sense to restrict them like this. Extensions like uBlock Origin should be a special case in the source code. If it's uBlock Origin, then give it direct access to all APIs so that it can do anything. The rest can deal with Manifest v3.

Truth is uBlock Origin should be literally built into the browser instead of being a mere extension. Only argument against that is conflicts of interest. Google obviously has no interest in properly integrating uBlock Origin and Firefox is funded by Google. Ironically, Brave seems to be the only browser where such a thing could actually happen.
That's one way of looking at it. I guess by that line of reasoning Minix and Linux/BSD/etc. are also unpopular since they are effectively only used because companies decide it's a good fit for their system (relatively speaking there are very few such as myself that run Linux on their main system).
Raspberry Pi's supply chain & distribution were their biggest strength IMO, I can get their products on day 1 in India from number of vendors which I've not witnessed for any other HW.
I was in one a couple months ago. My friend likes it but was also clear that you have to pay attention to what it's doing because it makes regular mistakes.
Your ultimate objective should be thriving, ideally for you and as many people and creatures as you can afford to account for. Truth is valuable because since the enlightenment period it has seemed to be extremely valuable in securing thriving.

If you instead are picking Truth and Lack Of Bias over, for example, a rich social life, I’d suggest you are putting the cart before the horse.

I hope you find your place with the right mix of imperfect belongingness and imperfect veracity! Both are important :)

chromium is a business?

I thought the business was Chrome, whereas Chromium was the open source (and GPLed) project that makes the code that Chrome uses and that would almost certainly not start out as GPLed if it was a new project now.
Yeah, but its not as reliable as just restricting your search to Wikipedia or the appropriate academic journals or even chatting with a librarian!
I think you're underestimating just how badly a carbon tax could be implemented. If you don't account for the carbon emissions of e.g. imported goods, or carve out enough exceptions for specific influential special interests, you just end up accomplishing nothing other than regressively taxing the entire population.
>>Firefox is currently sitting at an incredible 2.5% market share

Starting to think Firefox users can be put on the "non team players list" and "people that have something to hide list".
I agree. sounds like a red flag when they reply with "yeah everyone is buying it so your question is irrelevant" instead of providing a technical explanation/response. I am also skeptical on companies that raise too much funding (I can not imagine why they need $18million)
Redshift is just a heavily customized Postgres
I wouldn't even worry about coding to interfaces. When you need to replace Postgres because you have more than 1M users, you will probably have the revenue to refactor your code to swap out Postgres dependencies. Because you have good integration and E2E tests, right?
> This will hardly seem like a controversial opinion, but LLM are overhyped.

As the [excellent] paper points out, LLMs are complex functions that can be embedded in systems to provide plausible answers to a prompt. Here's the money sentence.

LLMs are generative mathematical models of the statistical distribution
of tokens in the vast public corpus of humangenerated text, where the tokens
in question include words, parts of words, or individual characters including
punctuation marks.

Rather than focus on the limitations of this approach to answer general queries, which are manifest, it seems more interesting to ask a different question. Under what circumstances do LLMs give answers that are reliably equivalent to or better than humans? The answer would:

1. Illuminate where we can use LLMs safely.

2. Direct work to make them better.

It's already impressive that within certain scopes ChatGPT gives very good answers, indeed better than most humans.
> Use Postgres as a message queue with SKIP LOCKED instead of Kafka (if you only need a message queue).

I wouldn't describe Kafka as a message queue. It's more of a distributed commit log.
I always gravitate towards projects that involve reading in tab delimited data, doing some sort of transformations (crud) or analytics, and writing the results back. You then quickly learn data IO, Data structures, looping, threading (big data) etc etc.

This comes from my experience with Computer Vision papers about ten years ago.

I've done some work in the field, and I've seen errors in almost all papers.

Sometimes they are not really errors, but they give a solution that only works in the very specific context they tested it and completely falls apart anywhere else.

I've lost countless hours and days studying and replicating papers. Of course, ML could be an entirely different experience.
I spent a decade using SQL Server for everything (back when Postgres wasn't close) and it is an exceptionally effective strategy. Deployments are simple, debugging is simple, operations are simple.

Do that until scale forces you to start specialisation.

It's surprising how far you can go with database-as-MQ. Even database-as-IPC can work for smaller systems.

> Messaging applications are increasingly making use of end-to-end security mechanisms to ensure that messages are only accessible to the communicating endpoints, and not to any servers involved in delivering messages.

You have to put trust in the app (and the company that owns that app), though.

In twitter, I type a message in plain text. The twitter app encrypts it and sends it to the recipient. I am trusting Twitter to not encrypt it twice, once with my key and once with there's and capturing their copy in flight.

With current trends at Twitter, I wouldn't trust them an inch.
Can you do one while working? Lots of options for that now. Eg gatech oms programs.

If you look at the track record of Musk, you can see that he promises something futuristic and delivers something conventional but with improvements that's still desirable.

Haven't Holmes imitated Jobs but Musk, today she could have been a success story. She should have still promised all your tests from a single drop of blood and keep claiming that it's coming next year and deliver classical machines but with greatly improved usability, integration with the modern hospital management system and fart jokes. They even had a prototype that worked some of the time for some of the test, sell it at an outrageous price and warn the users that all the tests should be repeated on a traditional machine because this is a beta device.

Also She shouldn't have relied on people from the establishment for PR, she should have partnered with popular-science YouTubers. Just send them a machine to play with, they wouldn't know if the machine is any good - they will be grateful for having access to such a device and make it the cool way of testing your blood.
You also need a time machine as they're not currently accepting applications.
I’ll agree to stop saying LM’s “think” and “know” things if you can tell me precisely what those mean for humans.

I've been thinking about this more, and I wonder if it could be related to what the "advance fee" or "inheritance" scammers do. Basically, they make the email as ridiculous as possible because it weeds out the smart people and leaves them with those who would genuinely fall for it.

Tesla cars are sold on the value as they are now. The potential features of the future are only an interesting possibility. It's not that different from any hardware/software on the market. Sure, Photoshop might have full self-driving AI that magically makes images for you someday (and Adobe does promise some big things), but people buy Photoshop for what it can do right now.
a silly law if you ask me. pressuring people driving in front is extremely dangerous. it’s already clear that there is an intention to overtake since you are driving on the outermost lane, no need to be rude and agressive.

It is fine (and correct) to be cautious about any situation where the government gets involved and starts setting limits.

But to discard an argument entirely is to bury your head in the sand.

Regulations are applied to many industries and limit the kinds of claims that can be made about products, and those regulations are important to public safety.

Such regulations most often apply to products that involve life or death consequences.

A company marketing vitamin supplements can’t claim that the supplements are proven to cure cancer, and that’s a good thing.

This is not to say that the government can’t or doesn’t get things wrong. But I’m curious how you feel about limitations placed on financial, food, and pharmaceutical companies.

At a minimum, there’s a fraud angle. You shouldn’t be able to claim to sell something that does A when that thing cannot in fact do A.

And when A happens to be critical to not dying, the implications of that claim just raise the stakes even higher.
> What tech giveth, tech taketh away.

Honestly, I would say it's more "what tech giveth, greed taketh away."
I think progressive jpeg works just fine, I recall it being quite popular in the early days of the internet when loading a large image could take a long time on landlines. You'd get a blurry preview that would incrementally become more detailed.

I agree that it's niche these days because typically modern connection speeds mean that it's a waste of resources to iterate on the picture instead of loading it at once. Even on mobile networks the issues are connection reliability and latency, once the image starts pouring in it'll likely come in its entirety quite quickly.

If you load images large enough that it becomes a real issue you would generally (in my experience) just have a smaller independent thumbnail/preview image you'll display while the large version is loading. That usually gives you more control on how things will look and avoid having a blurry mess on the user's screen.

"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has several investigations open, including a probe into why Teslas seem to disproportionately crash into emergency vehicles parked on the roadside. The agency has set no public timeline for a determination."

I wonder if this is the case of the U.S regulators turning their blind eyes to the problem as to not jeopardize Tesla's standing in the global EV market, much the same way FAA dragged its feet on grounding 737 MAX.

I'm still baffled as to how there has been no meaningful punitive action taken against Musk for all the false claims he has made over the years.

For one, pull up a satellite view and look at the US anywhere 150 miles away from the west coast.
