The SEC has no teeth until they go after Elon. When are they going to take him to task for making materially false statements regarding Telsa's FSD ambitions?
At least in America, that's not really how Rule of Law works. At least WRT individual rights like Free Speech.
Do you actually know that gorhill would be open to receiving that work, or are you just guessing?

That's an enormous amount of work (for someone totally unfamiliar with the codebase that would have to learn) to undertake on the off chance that it would be accepted.
Bingo. It's the latest MSFT poster-child that'll be gently strangled / frankensteined in a few years, when people start gaming it.

Really, I don't think it'll take a few years.
I’ve been using FSD for a month and my experience with it has been mostly great. I was skeptical initially because of the prevalence of this sort of comment online but it didn’t match my experience. There are predictable situations where it can’t navigate but you get used to them and anticipate them. Otherwise, it is a nice upgrade in functionality over EAP that generally makes the car nicer to operate.
From reading the headline, I was hopeful that this would be one of my most desired apps that doesn't exist yet: a browser that renders pages in Reader Mode, but all the time.

Unfortunately this is just a regular browser with "minimal" only meaning practically no UI.
That's absolutely baffling, I had no idea. I've been lucky in that my muscle-memory-trained tab switch shortcut is the one that Firefox uses (Cmd+Option+arrows) and I apply that to every other app on Mac.
I'm one of those weirdos who enjoys cycling, and the biggest threat to my life, by far, is humans driving cars. Drunk humans, tired humans, humans eating food, humans otherwise distracted, or humans just being human.

When I think about the people I know who died under age forty, I think it's majority car accidents. At least a plurality.

This holds roughly true in the statistics: car accidents have been at least in the running for leading cause of death for Americans under 30 for years. We need to address this issue, and self-driving cars are rapidly approaching viability as a solution.

Even if we don't eliminate human drivers, having viable alternatives means we can be strict about who drives. Right now, for so, so many people, driving is a necessity, and thus we're unwilling to limit access to people who are actually good and safe at driving. If you get in an accident, your insurance company will your rates, but you keep your license. If you get in another, we'll...they raise them some more more. It's really quite difficult to actually lose your license in the US. My friend had to get a breathalyzer after multiple DUIs, but he got to keep his license through all of it.

If driving were seen as an optional privilege, we could limit it to people who do it safely, and perhaps those people would only do it while sober and alert given the option to use self driving when they aren't.
> The only ridiculous thing here is the take of people who don't see how harmful prostitution is to females as a class

This is a failure to separate the circumstances surrounding illegal prostitution (pimping, drugs, trafficking) from the act itself.

The reason prostitution can be empowering for women is because sex is widely desired, and something that is widely desired is a great financial opportunity. There are no shortage of stories about women paying for college by escorting rather than taking on huge student debt. Taking that opportunity away from women can be seen as just another patriarchal oppression, and the excuse given is that they can't have this opportunity because some other men want to use them to exploit that same opportunity. It's patriarchy all the way down.

It would be great if people didn't have to worry about money, but that's not the world we live in. Don't take away their opportunities to better their lives, how about you go after the people actually causing harm. That is the liberal position.

> That's a good compromise.

Not really, you're just endangering women again by driving it underground where they can't protect themselves.
This is exactly what highway toll systems and ALPR enforcement already do.

But even on the public side: yes, this would be entirely appropriate. It's not clear what the alternative would even be; what would it look like to have civilian evidence in e.g. traffic accidents if people weren't allowed to take pictures of others' cars?
>I sort of handwaved the drag away by claiming this really only makes sense at low velocities.

I did see that, so I figured this "pre-buttal" would come up.

But... how low "low" is still matters!

Quantity makes a difference, even post-handwaving. If that extra drag makes you go from (say) 20% weather availability down to 10% availability, that's a significant incremental operating cost.

It's not like "the wind problem can't get any worse!" if we mention it beforehand. It can (and would) get quantitatively worse with a larger balloon, and that has a non-trivial cost.

>shape the balloon like [a low-drag body]

I was assuming you'd do that anyway, and that "spherical cow" math was Fermi estimation.

Actual spheres are surprisingly draggy!
Would you qualify that collateral as "long-term assets"?
Liar lies about lying...

At least he was paid in FTX Stock. <Shrugs>
I don't disagree with your point but this aciton puts a dent into his "free speech absolutist" position which he vigorously embraces. Being an Absolutist is probably fun position to take, but in real life nuance can make things challenging.
"Don't look at the data, give me lots of money to try it yourself" is something you expect to hear from a cult leader, not an engineer.
The world’s biggest tech bazaars
What’s the security risk? Can you describe one credible security concern this poses?
It's publicly available information about a private jet that Elon Musk flies on.
A third of all fatalities are caused by drunk drivers. That's easier to solve than self-driving cars. Another big chunk are weather related, driving at night, driving while sleepy, etc. The median driver is pretty safe, there are better ways to spend money than building automated car toys for them to play with.
Sveltekit has been transformational for me. I can't express enough gratitude to the legendary team who made this happen. Congrats guys!!!
There is nuance here you are passing by. This is a classic influence pump and dump, these sort of scams make their rounds in various shitcoins all too often. It is a good thing you are hearing about them, because they are being caught. Don't fall for the survival bias fallacy. However, a well diversified index fund is not the same thing. If it seems the same, keep your money in a savings account and pay tithe to hopefully keep the inflation monster at bay.
I don't know what the reference is, but that is hilarious! Thanks.
I'm a former project manager who did work for a major banks compliance team, that same bank had an equity research division as well and so i can shed some light here for you.

One of the biggest concerns is what you are doing in private vs what you are doing publicly.

So lets say "Big Bank" says "we recommend XYZ with a target price of $19.99 by end of year, our recommendation is BUY"

On the surface there is no issues with this, but lets say "BIG BANK" is LONG a million shares of XYZ.. Now you have a potential issue.

You are telling your clients to BUY (upward pressure on the stock) while you have a big bet that the stock will go up.

In the industry we refer to this as "talking your book" https://www.yourdictionary.com/talking-one-s-book

Over the years the rules have tighten when it comes to equity research and disclosing your position.

Now to the issue with what took place here - The individuals advocating the stock, how were they compensated? What is their position on those stocks?

Because this is UNCLEAR it is a violation of the SEC rules.

Lastly, one thing still bothers me about equity research is the rare "Sell" recommendation. Very few equity research departments ever issue a "Sell" recommendation..
The SEC has been around for many decades and prosecuting cases like this for just as long. If you work in finance in any form, there are myriad rules you have to follow to not be prosecuted.
What benefit does this bring over public transport or something like taxis/ride sharing services?

If I can be allowed to grossly generalze here: would the elderly and the disabled be in a position to afford a vehicle as expensive as this? Would they /need/ a permanent vehicle to take them to wherever they need to be, if they already have everything they need right there (hospice, retirement complex etc)? Remember: I'm grossly generalizing here, but I think my point stands.

The way I see it: I've been making use of FSD vehicles to take me to work and back for almost a decade now. Sometimes even the vehicle arrives right to my front door and takes me directly to my destination. The fact that it's wetware instead of software has no material impact on my experience or expectations. Thus I'll always go for the cheapest option.

In my view FSD is trying to solve a problem that only exists in the mind of the isolated techie who forgets about the real world sometimes.
> For instance, GVA is in two countries at the same time.

Technically this isn't true. This stood out to me because I've been through GVA and its situation is unique enough I investigated it while I was there. GVA lies entirely within Swiss territory, in fact, it was rather a point to ensure that this was the case in the way territory lines were laid. It does span into two municipalities, however both are within Switzerland.

What makes it unique is the edge of the airport aligns directly against the Swiss/French border, allowing direct access into the airport without needing to technically cross the border (because international airports treat areas past passport control and onto the tarmac as no-man's land). This is especially advantageous for freight, which is why GVA is considered an EU freight hub despite Switzerland not being an EU member state. So trucks delivering freight into France and other parts of the EU can drive directly into the GVA freight terminal from France, without needing to technically "cross the border", however the actual land they are on is within the territory of Switzerland.
Go is staunch about its specification. To the point that the Go team maintains two independent compiler implementations to ensure that "features"/bugs in one implementation doesn't end up defining the standard and to ensure that a compiler can be implemented from the spec.
The concrete laws that say things like "you must censor any posts that acknowledge the Tiananmen Square Massacre happened, or that the Uyghur genocide is currently happening" you mean?

I don't think ByteDance would be able to get themselves unbanned under my scheme without the CCP changing its laws, but it's hard to view that as a negative when ByteDance is basically an extension of the CCP.
one of the great moments in modern european history and a wonderful movie
Elon himself, on https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1519036983137509376:

> By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

Was the account violating any law?
I've seen some amazing stuff. People who think they've accessed GPT's source by asking questions, people who think they're browsing the web when GPT is just making stuff up the whole time.
This isn't nuance - none of it is relevant.

Q in the movies (the only place he originally appeared) is obviously based on a CQMS someone knew and the Q branch in the books is almost certainly based on the abbreviation Q for the word Quartermaster in the Quartermaster's Stores.
The leaders are important, but the founders don't need to be the leaders, so that importance does not transfer over. Likewise you don't want to live in a house painted an ugly color, but it's safe to buy a house painted an ugly color because it's an easy fix.
this doesn't mean that fwrite should only write every 2nd or every 4th byte, when you give it a pointer to some non-text data
It seems to be human nature that people who like something or someone will defend them way past the point of rationality, becoming more insistent the worse things get, and wallow in motivated thinking.

Meanwhile, those that dislike both Musk and Twitter are having a magical moment as each actively destroys the other, like two black holes circling each other, unable to escape.
BASELESS conspiracy theory.
Its so freaking good, hope large orgs start using it
Best of the Best of the Best, Sir
Yes, it's been taking 10-11 seconds each request for me.
I dunno, with all of the recent leaks, Twitters internal workings have all been made public. Sounds pretty transparent to me!
I have a friend and an ex-coworker who work at Meta. I've asked them about things like this in the past, their responses have boiled down to something like this:

If Facebook's algorithms reduced millions of micro-aggressions but simultaneously enabled the death of one person, then they're probably still in the green. It's like public policy-making. There are tradeoffs everywhere, and somebody will always draw the short straw.
The reason it's unimportant is that these same activist employees never bothered to protest other heads of state/terrible people in other countries doing worse things. It was very specifically about US politics and guys they personally disliked, not the application of a fair policy.
They're not going to take a haircut when Musk personally secured the loans...
> I think that this erratic behavior is going to crater Tesla stock

Even further? It is at $159 today from well over $300 just a few months ago.

The best time for puts was a while ago, it will be a lot harder to make the same kind of money going forward, better be careful.
It’s a big organization. They can do more than one thing at a time. Let’s not play at binary thinking.
Is reporting on the findings considered "talking quite a lot of sh$t"?
Great! Then everyone wins.
Extendimage.ai – Extend your images with generative AI
ExtendImageAI is a website that allows you to extend the borders of your images with artificial intelligence. All you have to do is upload an image and the artificial intelligence does the rest!
From your source:

> Some evidence suggests that heritability might increase to as much as 80% in later adulthood independent of dementia (Panizzon et al., 2014); other
results suggest a decline to about 60% after age 80 (Lee, Henry, Trollor, & Sachdev, 2010), but another study suggests no change in later life (McGue & Christensen, 2013).

Your source is actually just partially about the Wilson effect, it only spends a handful of paragraphs about it as it enumerates it among the “top 10 Findings From Behavioral Genetics”. The pivotal study is actually a meta-analysis —or rather a summary of studies—from 2013[1]. Read it if you want to be more convinced of this pseudo-science.

In the 10 years since the publication of this pivotal study, this Wilson effect has gone nowhere. Not even a wikipedia page to show for it.

> The researchers aren’t stupid, obviously they try to control for things like schooling.

Don’t be so sure. Twin studies on intelligence are reeked with bad science and malicious data manipulation. A lot of the researchers conducting these studies in the 70s and 80s were eugenicists doing scientific racism. Some even went so far as to forcefully separate twins into convenient families so they could be “studied” (See Peter B. Neubauer). The method of twin studies was actually proposed by non-other then Francis Galton (which should settle all discussion on the link to the eugenicist movement), and now century and a half later, we are still not convinced on the merits of this method.

Given this history, I don’t think it is smart to take any results from twin and adaption studies seriously. Some researchers don’t want to go that far, so if they actually look more broadly they conclude that these effects go away if you include people adopted into lower income families. James Flynn (of the Flynn-effect) actually argues for a Family effect on intelligence[2] as a result. But—as I say—I think Flynn is giving twin studies weight that shouldn’t be given, and would claim that results are inconclusive.

I actually want to go further and say not only that results are inconclusive, but they are irrelevant. Like I said, this is all pseudo-science. IQ is no different from SAT in that it is a metric whose only value is it’s score. It provides no insight into what we call intelligence, only some skills that people have acquired. Finding out how much better you can become at this skill by merits of your genes is a weird question that ultimately proves nothing.

Pretty clearly, at best, Elon is a twit. His stated views and his public actions are at odds, and his reputation for honesty or trustworthiness will be affected. But people are free to change their minds, or lie, and everyone else is free to form an opinion or make decisions as a result.
Definitely not. It’s the reason I don’t wait to buy new Nintendo games because you have to wait a long time for a sale and it’s usually only $10.
at least there is a well established process of standardization on the web.. (however slow it is).
> Almost all of the technological breakthroughs I can think of have eventually been used to excess and ended up crippling us in some way

What do you mean crippling ? We're living longer than we did 100 years ago through advances in science in medicine, I see a lot of tech as net positive.
"The practice of shadow banning essentially involves making posts visible only to the person who created them and invisible to their intended audience"

There is a substantial difference between tweets not being promoted by the algorithm and tweets being invisible. A "shadow-banned" user's tweets would be invisible to even their followers.
if you know what you were doing on front-end you wouldn't spelling this words aberration compilation
I don't particularly care about Musk and I don't use Twitter. I also think the decision to ban a page that makes already-public information about a specific person's jet's location very-much-more-public is pretty easily supportable.

But even so, I find the hypocrisy pretty interesting here. This person bought a company for $44b to improve transparency, specifically said he wasn't going to ban this account to show his commitment to transparency, and then his new company banned the account about a month later. Not only that, but the company didn't ban the related accounts showing the location of others who didn't happen to buy the company out of their commitment to transparency.

Come on, that's interesting no matter what your view on the individual.
> ...by architecting our infrastructure with security and privacy in mind.

The blog and the website loads in so many trackers (reasonable, given metrics are important when you're busy hyperscaling a venture-backed startup), that folks at Tailscale should seriously reconsider positioning themselves as some paragons of privacy. No offence (:
> I'm almost 100% certain this will go to maintainers that already have good visibility and possibly good funding

In my opinion, most of this will turn into a way to game the system. Like another comment said, this is Microsoft's "Summer Of Code".

For a successful open source funding story, take a look at Mkdocs-Material, which recently crossed $10k/mo:

https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/insiders/
Because it is a not a new js framework, but a higher level tool based on a js framework I. E. svelte.

Similar meta frameworks exist for other js frameworks eg: Next(react), Nuxt(vue), Remix(react), rakkas(react), Solidstart(solid) etc.
Waymo's collision avoidance testing
A tangent to that thought... "do you want people to be financially incentivized to get into novel situations to test situations where FSD was lacking data?"

I recall Waze had some point system to help gather positioning / speed data for side roads that it would try to have you go get with icons... and those were just fake internet points.
SvelteKit 1.0 is the one release I was actually waiting for. I've seen a lot of flashy stuff launch in the frontend framework recently but this one feels...genuine?

Huge congratulations to Rich and team! Hope I'll be able to contribute to Svelte's growth someday.
True, but the account significantly lowers the bar to finding that information, making it much more likely someone who wishes to do harm could act on it.
That sounds really terrible. I honestly thought that Tesla FSD was better than that. It just reminds me of my opinions I had (and still have) like 15+ years ago when I'd get into discussions on random forums about self driving cars. I mean sure, perhaps 100 years down the road when everything driving is required to be in a fully autonomous mode with interlinked wireless communication, maybe perhaps that would work.

But that is not what we have right now. Right now every driver on the road is exposed to a potential instant tragedy that is unavoidable. I mean, what is a self driving car going to do if a large semi drops a huge log or freight right in front of you? You have one second to impact. You can either attempt to hold your line and drive over the object, potentially killing/injuring the passengers. Or you can swerve left into oncoming traffic. Or you can swerve right into a busy two way frontage road.

No matter which choice is taken, I guarantee there will be a lawsuit. Perhaps one way forward would be perhaps something similar to what medical companies did in the 1980's with the creation of the "vaccine courts". Maybe we need some kind of new "autonomous driving" court which would be staffed with experts who would then decide what kind of cases have merit. That would at least better shield the parent companies and allow them to continue innovating instead of worrying about potential litigation.
I wish people were better at understanding how comments like this make them come across. Like… it’s never feasible that people just disagree with you. It’s that they’ve been hoodwinked, brainwashed, or hypnotised.
The goal wasn't hurting them in the first place, just ensuring that Apple plays fair on their own hardware. You may be totally correct with your second point, if Apple implements things well.
Sveltekit has been an absolute DREAM to learn and use with my app! Been tracking their 1.0 progress closely and it's been incredible.

Sveltekit + TailwindCSS + FastAPI has made it super easy to whip up functionality and have a fine-tuned approach as well.

As someone else said, the "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS THAT EASY" is an ongoing sentiment whenever I use it.

Looking forward to seeing it grow and gain more popularity
Uh, so your thesis is that twitter was donating to the democrats to help the republicans by choosing bad democratic candidates?

Yeah, I'm not convinced.
Had they talked about releasing the source code? I would love to see the machine behind DF. I think about it all the time.

Either is a complete mess that no one else can understand, or they nailed the abstractions and it is infinitely extendable. I’m really curious to see how they implemented a system that provides such depth and subtlety.
