> Abrham Amare, a researcher and son of chemistry professor Meareg Amare, said that his father was targeted by a series of threatening posts because he was ethnically Tigrayan. He reported the posts, some of them shared over 50,000 times, to Facebook because they contained his father's address and called for his death.

> Eight days after the elder Amare was murdered, Facebook finally removed the post, according to the researcher.

Doesn't sound like they "actively policed" the content sufficiently.
Negative taxes instead of complex red-tape-filled subsidies and minimum wage and whatnot.
Not too much.

Far be it from me to armchair diagnose someone, but the "Strachey had always displayed a talent for the sciences but rarely applied himself" is a story told over and over again for those with undiagnosed neurodivergence.
The linked article isn't about safety data, FWIW. FSD beta has been deployed on hundreds of thousands of cars for over a year now. If there was any safety data to measure, it would be shining like a beacon at this point. Which is why the people (Taylor Ogan and Fred Lambert absolutely qualify, FWIW) with an anti-Tesla schtick need to scrap for editorialized content like this[1].

The truth is that this is deployed as a supervised system, and as such it's at least as safe as the driver operating it. I can absolutely attest to situations where the car noticed and reacted to a safety situation before I did. I think on the whole I'm a safer driver monitoring my car vs. operating it.

[1] In this case, measuring self-reported "disengagement" data of amateur drivers in general traffic vs. the controlled conditions reported by professionals operating vehicles in limited environments and with limited functionality. You can't take a Waymo or Cruise on the freeway to try it out, they won't operate in parking lots or unpainted roads or construction areas, hell my understanding is that they fence off and disallow most unprotected left turns! You can get a Tesla to try any and all of that (and I do! regularly! and sometimes it fails!). I mean, come on, this isn't a fair comparison and you know it.

A group of robotics leaders from industry, academia and research labs spearheaded by Acceleration Robotics are pushing forward RobotPerf, an open reference benchmarking suite that is used to evaluate robotics computing performance fairly with ROS 2 as its common baseline, so that robotic architects can make informed decisions about the hardware and software components of their robotic systems.
As with Trump, I think there's a tendency to impute some master plan behind Musk's bizarre and offensive statements. His actions show he doesn't spend a lot of time on planning. Is it a signal? Sure. But also he's just a shitposter with right-wing beliefs. I think he mostly operates on instinct.

Sorry, but there are some functions for which you definitely need to be present. Countless deals are time bound and would not have happened were it not for both parties to be present in the zone.

From anecdotal experience, we work with a number of government agencies and corporate partners for some projects, and it's often much easier to get a yes in person than through a BS Zoom call.
Seems like you're explaining exactly the intent of this account: Proving that putting free speech above all other values on an internet forum isn't always a good idea, even if it's legal.

No one actually thinks this account is valuable on it's own. This "Gotcha" is a hugely important point that Musk doesn't understand.

That was the company policy.

Give up.

This guy has been actively trying to make enemies to garner a few "hello there fellow kids" points, actively uses every trick in the book to make sure he not only has to pay zilch in taxes, but draws the maximum in benefits, being one of the richest people on the planet and continuously taking credit for things he at best funded, at worst didn't do anything for. Meanwhile he's throwing up a gigantic smokescreen and misleading people in ways that benefit his company while being disastrous for the environment, and has the gall to show his ideas as some kind of divine intellect.

An account functioning as an event hub for public information regarding his jet is about the least he has to worry about once the chickens come home to roost. If the location alone was that bad, he could give a warning and ask the account to only post climate-related info. These are the people shaming you at every corner and ready to push you under the bus the moment something dares to scratch their empire.

Nothing about their existence is ethical. People defending them under the guise of 'ethics' is exactly how they got there.
The larger problem isn't the lack of uniform enforcement. Our actual problem was trusting Twitter to remain impartial in the first place. It's crazy how many people bought into the "global town hall" bullshit Elon Musk pedaled, and now it's unsurprising to watch him backpedal now that the reigns are in his hands.

Hopefully people realize that trusting $COMPANY will never deliver you anything good. We either regulate the things we care about, or let stuff like this happen. Either way, the world keeps spinning.
Looks great. Love the design.
Yes that happens, but how common is it really? I've never heard of anyone actually doing that.

> How does using UTF-8 to represent strings help? Because you can represent invalid strings: just leave them as-is and don't try to decode them unless you have to.

That’s not UTF8. That’s a bag’o bytes which might be UTF8. Very different thing.

> Sure, you can't decode them as code points, but that's actually a pretty unusual thing to do.

It’s not, any unicode-aware text processing does it implicitly. This means any such processing has to either perform its own validation that the input is valid, or it may fly off the rails entirely if fed nonsense. This also increases risks if security issues, either outright UBs, or the ability to smuggle payloads through overlong encoding.
It's interesting that they beat ITER to ignition. I wonder if this changes the direction of fusion research and funding in any way.
Giving generative AI “memory” for Q&A
Products in the game space heavily differentiate from one another by "showing more" data (textures, models, detail, etc) or "doing more" with data - (massively multiplayer, more physics, ai, sound) or "doing it faster" - (more fps, low latency, etc)

Local compute resources are finite, and if you want to target the widest market, then you need to fully utilize mainstream hardware; which means anyone willing to do the grunt work benefits from a higher quality product.

yes, we're working with an integration partner for Push Notifications. check back on Friday :)

I believe the unfortunate situation with Push Notifications for Android is that you still need to sign up for Firebase project (because you need a Google/Firebase Server API Key).
I said effectively lying, everything you're saying is technically true.

But it would be akin to claiming modern day esports started in the late 1950's because Tennis for Two was released and is a competitive game.

No, modern day esports can trace it's _lineage_ back to the late 1950's.

It'd be akin to claiming Counter-Strike has been an esport since the early 2000's because people would get together and compete in very small tournaments. CS:Go was the first version to be explicitly made for competition and it was released in 2011.

It was a completely dishonest response.
Congrats to the team for this!

I have been building an application in SvelteKit and it's an incredible framework. I really believe it's going to become the dominant front-end framework in the next few years.
How does the first step of recruiting the agents/local traitors happen? Most of the official spies who are on diplomatic visa are tracked 24x7 in countries like China/NK/Russia.
Depending on thickness and stud construction, drywall has higher calculated shear load than lath and plaster -

https://up.codes/s/shear-walls-sheathed-with-other-materials

There are easy to install drywall elements (heavier drywall, or sound deadening backing sheets) that also cut down on noise.

As with all things, ‘it depends’. Lath and plaster isn’t used much anymore because the cost rarely outweighs the benefits.

In non-seismic shear wall usage, it’s allowable to use either.

(Edit: fixed my very persistent autocorrect from lath to lathe - doh, thanks for noticing that)
> Using segmentation offloads means the packets will traverse also the remaining path as a single unit.

Note that this is not necessarily the right thing to do, for a VPN.

Encryption: Wireguard uses the destination IP of each packet to pick the outgoing tunnel.

Decryption: The destination addresses of the encapsulated packets are arbitrary.

Where the sequence is required to share things like routing lookups, a VPN generally can't just take a sequence of packets from one side and send the same sequence of packets, individually transformed, out the other side.

Batching in general is still a common trick for performance, but the VPN gateway acts as a multiplexer/demultiplexer. It's doing routing after all!
Knowing little about how the FSD chip works, is the fact that it runs locally and not on some super cluster a bottleneck in performance right now?

The fact that it's only in the last year or so that Stability/OpenAI and efficient hardware like before mentioned processors that can produce relatively fast and accurate results in the NN sphere makes me wonder if it's just "too early" to have self driving cars?

ChatGPT still requires a supercluster to run and as a layman one would think video analysis with near zero latency would be even more demanding.

Also how does it compare to to apples newer Arm based architecture and Neural Engine which as far as i know is a good example of in-house designing (not production off course).

Rest in peace, Roger. You were the greatest critic who ever was.
FTX customers can perform leveraged trades, where they borrow money from FTX and post other assets as a collateral. In theory there could be some kind of liquidity crisis if FTX had to liquidate many margin trades at the same time. But that's irrelevant; the real issue with FTX was plain old embezzlement of customer funds.
Jim is most likely not trading the securities directly. The money he makes is from his tv contracts and other non-securities trading business probably. Maybe being paid by the companies to shill for them.
Maybe not his kid, assuming he has more faith in Tesla's crash-worthiness than its FSD.

But, he'd definitely risking other road users and pedestrians if that car keeps trying to run up sidewalks and cause other havoc on the roadway.

You don't get my point. Re-read my comment. Yes, sites exist that aggregate some public data. They are not necessarily a security risk. But blasting out data that may be public somewhere to millions of people who hate you is a security risk.

Another example of something like this is the mugshot websites that post your mugshot (also public!) and spam in out in hopes of getting you to bribe them to take it down.
I think after years of agreeing with you I might actually disagree in 2022. I also prefer native widgets, but the problem is native programs have changed. It used to be they all looked very sterile and had 80-90% of the same widgets as every other OS, but if you look at apps today they are all much more media centric. Whether electron or native it is very common to have things like a "side bar" and other very specific widgets. These don't translate well to cross platform native widgets. I think Flutter might have the right approach with its fluent UI and macos libraries. I suspect the resulting app would look much more native in this day and age.
Hahahaha is this a joke?
I find this comment validating. Most of the languages I've used start to click and feel good after a while - but it feels like this just won't happen for me with typescript. I'm clearly missing some fundamentals and I'm not even sure what it is I need to go study.

Elon Musk is the Donald Trump of silicon valley. Sadly, Americans never learn.
My life's work since I was a kid in the 90s was to make a computer game. Then in the mid-2000s I started working with someone I'd met at college to make an ambitious online multiplayer game, but the effort fizzled out. I continued working alone on the parts of it I had written myself.

So I was working on the same game code (eventually just the game's engine; I had lost sight of the original goal) through the 2000s and 2010s. I had an initial period of great productivity (in lines-of-code), but the more I wrote the more work it was fighting bit-rot. As operating systems, graphics technology, and the C++ standard itself changed, I was perpetually playing catch-up to build-breaking changes rather than making new progress.

Over the course of time my git history had gotten convoluted, and I had also split things into a couple of repos. I considered re-merging everything back into one repository, and was debating whether to try to consolidate all the history or start a fresh repo with existing sources. My friends suggested: do neither; don't even start with the old source files. I could always mine my old work for useful code, but I didn't need to pull it all in just because it was there.

I.e. after more than a decade and a half of life's work that had only resulted in treading water trying to keep up with the changing technology I could just... stop.

Now instead of trying to push one codebase forward against the relentless march of entropy, I'm trying to work from a simpler premise: what do I need to build a game jam submission, and back-fill what I need from that goal. Even that goalpost keeps receding before me. (Any given game jam I might target will be over before I get the first pixels on the screen.) I guess I just work at a slower pace than the world moves.

With ambitious projects there's two ways to go about them: forward-chaining or backward-chaining. You can start from the beginning and build up (forward-chaining) then attempt to bend your arc of progress back Earth for eventual release. You're always in danger of discovering you've described a wider arc than you're able to close. Or you can start from what does a released thing look like and backward-chain to putting your original ideas into it.

What I've learned is neither strategy provides any guarantee, but if I'm still having this much trouble with the latter I certainly was never going to be able to close the loop on the former.

> but if you want stable software with good documentation and quick bug fixes, then some improvements need to happen.

If you want stable software with good documentation you can make do it yourself. If you don't want to do the work then you don't really want it that badly. Open source is about freedom. If a billion dollar company finds out they have a show stopping bug because of an Open Source library they are dependent on they can fix it.

Nothing does need to change, what "status quo" are you talking about, if you don't like a piece of open source software don't use it, if you have to use it for your job then thank the stormfather that it is open source so you can go in and fix it.

Honestly people seem to think that the software will become better if we just start paying for it and that is the stupidest idea I've ever heard, in fact often the crappiest software I've ever had to work with is proprietary. I always try and push my company to use open source not because I think it is always better but because if I run into a problem I can inspect the source and find out what is going on and why, and if I need to I can submit a patch.

Open source != free as in beer Open source = free as in speech.

The way things work now is fine, Linux works fine, Emacs works fine, if you're complaint is that some third party node library that you pulled off of Github to calculate the length of a string isn't working how you want my suggestion is submit a pull request or fork it.

This idea that open source software should meet some sort of standard of quality is entitled and noxious, the only guarantee and promise you ever got with open source was that you had the source code, if you want more than that, then do it yourself.
A lot comes down to subtle language syntax. For instance, you can say "we target 12% returns," but you can't say "we guarantee 12% returns." You can say "we out-performed the market by over 3% a year for each of the past ten years," but you can't say "we're going to out-perform the market because we have the past ten years." You can say "company X is a great business, and the stock looks cheap here," but you can't say "company X is a can't miss investment and an automatic double at this price."
They probably are to some extent, and you know where the liability would lie if they are responsible should something bad happen. What about this case ? There is no sense of responsibility or realization of the danger they are introducing at scale .

Even when they actually admit that they have failed at it [0]. I am not sure if they are aware of the doublespeak in this admission.

[0] Failure to realize a long-term aspirational goal is not fraud.
I have only streamed for slightly over a year, so I cannot say anything definite about "years-old footage". But I can absolutely see myself going back to that footage when I get nostalgic about any of the games that I've played. Especially with games that you can only realistically play once, like Outer Wilds.
