Right now:

1.It's not doing what I expect.

2.Is it intentional behavior or a bug?

3. Let's ask on github/reddit etc

With Special:

1. It is not doing what I expect

2. Is this a spec issue or code issue?

3. Let's check spec.

4a. "Working as specified". Shit. Hope spec improves in future versions

4b. It is not working as spec says. Let's file a bug on tsc.

And that is the difference.
Does that also include pedestrians and cyclists killed by drivers?
It has been obvious to me ever since, a few years ago, Musk promised that fully self-driving robotaxis were going to be on the roads a year in the future that he is a con artist and/or ridiculously over-optimistic about self-driving technology.

But is this why I am seeing this article on Hacker News now? Or am I seeing it now because Musk pissed off a bunch of people who disagree with his political stances?
> Like it is absolutely insane (meant positively) the amendments to Title IX that explicitly protect lgbt folks and he is threatening taking away funding from schools who ignore them. Like god damn that’s the opposite of posturing.

Interesting view. I don't really see the new amendments to Title IX as any more "overtly progressive" as the original amendment. It's just an adjustment to definitions to recognize some more people who are typically discriminated against (and to whom we believe that is unjust). The concept is really no different.
Stock prices are speculative. It makes sense because the market wants to buy and sell it at that price.
> ... so you have true cross platform apps(from desktop to android and ios), it's the only way to achieve that.

There are many other viable ways for creating a cross-platform app:

I believe the term "comfort women" only refers to the women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army, the term is a direct translation of a Japanese word.

It's possible North Korea had a division made up of former comfort womem at some point, but I've never heard of it and the youngest members left would be in their 80's now.
Is there info on whether the safeguards that seem to be popping up / changing over time are at the behest of the developers, or is the software changing its response based on usage? Anthropomorphising ChatGPT, is it learning what morals are, or is it being constrained on its output? If it's the latter, I wonder how long until we see results from ChatGPT that are inherently supposed to be rendered because it's avoiding hard coded bad behavior. For example, perhaps it returns a racist response by incorrectly interpreting guidance that would prevent it being racist.

More succintly, these examples all seem to make ChatGPT ignore or get around its guardrails. I wonder if there are prompts that weaponize the guard rails.
I don't see how 'approval' is required for _anything_. Not for lane-keeping at high speeds, and not for Mercedes to take liability for accidents while their technology is active at high speeds.

Interesting title. Hopefully a subject matter expert can chime in to unpack the experimental design and findings. Some things to consider: While biorxiv is a preprint host, it is managed by CSHL and the authors are from Mount Sinai which is a top institution, particularly in medical research.

Just a pet theory, but I have been wondering if part of the strict anti-Covid policy in China had something to do with a finding similar to this. Yes, I know it was also based on their healthcare system capacity, autocratic control, etc. and now the lockdowns are presumably being lifted.
No. In their latest filing[1], automotive regulatory credits are around 1% of revenue.

I was investigating doing a typescript compiler speedup.
I think the time might have finally arrived where we can use ML to generate a faster compiler in a language like Zig.

Probably not for all portions of the compiler. But I think with some reinforcement learning, it ( ... might ...) be possible to automatically generate a robust Typescript parser in Zig.
Yes. They are being compelled to do it.

Considering makes it sound like this is a deliberate Apple PR leak
Every subsidy Tesla has used has been offered to other manufacturers.
A lot of very disappointing comments in TA about how artists can't handle disruption, or they think they're special, or take themselves too seriously.

The situation is a bit like what happened with machine translation. Art and translation are both necessary and badly underpaid lines of work. The AI's work may not be perfect, good, acceptable, or sometimes even coherent on the most basic level, but many companies will balk at paying a modest wage to a skilled worker for necessary work, and will either ship the garbage the AI gives them, or more often they'll use its existence as a bludgeon to reduce the wage further to unacceptably low levels. It happened to translation, it'll happen to artists.
AFAIU she said the agreements were never viewed as a solution for the conflict.

The goal was to cool the conflict down to a state that allowed Ukraine to get better at war: collect arms, build defense lines, train soldiers, etc.

So, in other words, she said the war between Russia and Ukraine was inevitable and even expected and the agreements were introduced to give Ukraine advantage.
So it's okay for Apple to have a monopoly on their OS, but we need to knee cap anyone that tries to challenge them with competing apps.
And some struggle with can, cannot, and should.
Perhaps a normal version with countries and territories, and an extended version for hard core users with flags of provinces.

Which currency do you show for a province? (Like 25 years ago we had a big economical mess here and each province had their own currency. It was solved after and even bigger economical mess. Now we are somewhat stable and with only one currency for the whole country.)
I’m not sure $.ajax() is a good example now that fetch is widely supported.

Yup. If someone's profitting from my work, I want my cut.

That's why I keep asking about royalty schemes. Common for all other forms of IP. Curiously absent from FOSS.
In the bank I work in, we were fined $200M along with many competitors, because we didnt keep whatsapp records for 10 years, which impedes transparency during timeline reconstruction for investigations.

I think SBF is crucified on this alone.
But we're only asking for Apple to do what they do for macOS and Mac computers on iOS, essentially. Hate to seem dismissive but I really don't understand all of the fear, uncertainty and doubt around it.
Tesla's solution offers a product that occasionally tries to kill you and people around you. The only reason it doesn't is because drivers are forced to pay attention and take over at a moment's notice at all times.

Mercedes' solution is a car company taking actual responsibility for their software. If they feel the lawsuits/insurance claims/legal snafus are worth the risk, that means their software is probably pretty damn good in that limited scope. Otherwise they could literally bankrupt the company with lawsuits! That's a lot more confidence inspiring to me than Elon's repeated pie-in-the-sky claims.
> but my wife veto'ed the decision because of the comments Elon made about prosecuting Fauci.

That's like the least off-the-mark thing Elon has said. The gain of function research is bad, bad stuff.
Safari and Chrome have the exact same goals as they are maternal twins. They are both designed to monopolize their ecosystem and suppress the competition. Firefox is the odd one out.
It's extremely negligent for the driver to let the car drive onto a sidewalk. As the driver you are solely responsible for everything the car does.
Well said. It's always very telling when men have more sympathy with the johns than the women they're raping.
Earlier versions of GL were indeed a lot of fun and easy to get started without much learning curve, but very easy to get into a pickle and blow your foot once the project gets reasonably complex with everything being a state in the context.
I realize. That line was simply pointing out that while being further from the sun is a net negative in terms of GCR it’s a net positive in terms of total radiation exposure.
I choose Safari as my primary browser on my personal MacBook, it's great
It was a different person selling the bike both times. I think the police got their info, but if they didn't have a history of stealing, they let them go. If they are caught again, I hope the police charge them.

If I ask it for suggestions that can be bought at the airport and which will fit in my hand luggage, it suggests stuff that's good to have while travelling which is not what I'm asking for.

I know that it's a high bar to hold a hobby project to but ChatGPT crushes it at giving specific suggestions - it was able to understand the requirement for small volume, and it gave decent recommendations based on a general profile like "middle aged woman" or "a man in his early 20s".
That's a decent question. Mainly, I feel like most congress critters should be required to wear patches of their corporate sponsors like NASCAR drivers. That's who I feel they represent much more than their constituents. In that sense, I feel they get no respect from me.

Don't get me started on the respect for the constituents themselves. That's such a non-HN friendly conversation.
> I’ve been under the impression that he gave all the files to journalists and let them be the judge of what’s relevant.

That would mean he wasn't careful at all, having outsourced the selection of what data to make public to a 3rd party.

> Sometimes things go beyond domestic vs international - because it’s someone else’s domestic surveillance and if that someone is an ally it’s at least a tiny bit problematic and worthy of review.

Everybody does this with everyone, allies and enemies alike, and doing so is a matter of state foreign policy. This type of activity is exactly what the NSA is charted for. We've reviewed this stuff in writing the laws that charter the agency and govern it's activity.
Encourage couples to have fewer children with the intent of reducing the world population.

About 100 years ago, the world had about 2 billion people. Today it is 8 billion people. The world population has quadrupled in just 100 years. I believe that the world today is woefully overpopulated, and it puts great strain on our planet with finite resources. We've fundamentally had to change the way we produce food and create energy, but it's only sustainable for the short term, and only for those privileged enough to live in developed countries.

Global warming, runaway inflation, the housing crisis. We propose so many solutions to many of society's ills, but nobody ever suggests "maybe there's just too many damn people."
Deprecating direct string indexing might have been the "right" move in some sense but it's hard to imagine it ever happening in Python; it's such a natural and frequently-used operation in the language that you would've broken an enormous amount of code. Because indexing strings is syntactically identical to indexing lists, and because there's no* real static typing, there'd be no* good and robust way to automate the conversion.

Like, the changes Python 3 made were honestly pretty subtle, and nearly 15 years later there's still people reluctant to upgrade. If they broke string indexing I'm pretty sure Python 3 adoption would make Perl 6 uptake look impressive.
I'm with you, re: do it yourself if you want it that badly.

But there's if there's an opportunity to motivate an increase in the amount of money that goes to people that are doing what's best for the OSS projects e.g. guarding against supply chain attacks via open source contributions, then I think we should take that opportunity.
It's not so easy -- you have to prove that they know (or should have known) it was stolen, which isn't easy.

People like to blame the cops for everything, but the prosecutors are where the current breakdown in law and order is happening.
I did not realize the 18th amendment only banned the possession and consumption of alcohol for the top 0.1% of drinkers, which is what a hard cap at about a billion would introduce. 99% of private wealth is closer to 0 than to a billion. Calling policy aimed at ensuring billionaires don't exist a war on private wealth is ridiculous and like calling the state monopoly on violence a "war on justice"
ITT it's striking how the language being used (even in shorthand, or casual use) triggers debate.

It's pretty clear that when discussing the behavior of AI tools, we should all endavor to use precise language, clarify or at least use quotation makes to nod to ambiguity, and eventually get some kind of consensus understanding of what is and is not being implied or asserted or argued through use of language necessarily borrowed from our experience, with humans (and our own institutions, and animals, and the other familiar categories of agent in our world).

The most useful TLDR is use quotation marks to side-step a detour during discussion into a reexamination of what sort of agency and model of mind we should have assume for LML or other tools.

Example: ChatGPT "lies" by design

This acknowledges a whole raft of contentious issues without getting stuck on them.
Which processes ? It's not like there is a webkitd and everything is done via RPC.
Exactly. This makes Elon Musk smart, as no one has ever tried not paying rent in order to negotiate before. Wonder why not many people try to do that.
TIL there are people who actually make their car-purchasing decisions based on what people on twitter say on entirely unrelated matters.

And yeah, given how widespread Teslas are where I live (if stopped at any traffic light in the city, you will see at least 2 Teslas waiting), I can confirm that absolutely no one cares.
My life's work is running tech conferences [0] free of sponsors. I'm all-in on organizing indie events which celebrate building quality software (at least we try.) The process includes challenging anyone's software and criticizing it if necessary -- that's why I can never enter into a sponsorship deal with Microsoft, for example.

Turns out operating conferences in American cities is a costly proposition... Thankfully I have an audience that's supporting me so far.

Twitter is not analogous with a town, though. That's the thesis of my original comment, and I'm using your metaphor to explain how Twitter is not a public asset.
I'm honestly curious what test tracks Tesla uses. Do they just rent private tracks for their road testing before it gets to public beta? It clearly isn't done onroad by safety drivers.

GM has Milford and Yuma + others, Waymo has Castle, Zoox uses Altamont Raceway, Nuro has a track at the Vegas speedway. I can't imagine Tesla's small Fremont loop and their winter track in Fairbanks are sufficient.
It can also be a case of "If I can put things eloquently enough, perhaps they won't understand and give up.". Sometimes it's a defence mechanism to think "if I can't explain myself it's because I'm so much more clever than the others. "
That sounds impressive.
Yeah this is an amazing story. The only bike theft I've ever heard of where the police actually did something.

It does reconfirm just how little they care about bike theft though - literally all they had to do was email the thief and he would come to them! But no even that is too much work.
> Why?

It doesn't take a financial wizard to realize that Twitter was insolvent from the day it was purchased. Saddling a company with an interest payment that's nearly double revenue is a clear indication to me that the time period from purchase-to-bankruptcy was going to be measured in months. So we can be pretty confident that everyone involved with this purchase was expecting Twitter to die quickly.

You and I are on the same page. But the "why" is not "why would they make such a poor financial choice," since it's clear the answer to that is "to kill Twitter." The why is really, "why bother killing Twitter?" I get Musk's reasoning, but I don't understand what his co-investors get out of the deal. Authoritarian regimes benefit from having dissidents operate on a centralized platform, because it's easier to monitor. Killing twitter pushes these groups out to platforms that are going to be decentralized and impossible to block. It's weakening their grip, not reinforcing it.

My best guess is that they assumed that Musk would stay on post bankruptcy and act as their pro-authoritarian sock puppet. But they didn't anticipate his complete ineptitude would drive users off the platform in such numbers.
My grandmother too!
Your mom is looking for (fake or not) emotional support/intimacy and does not seem to be getting it though (sorry to say) her family.

I don't know, maybe talk to her more, therapist, something?
The question is do the prices have staying power.

It's fine to say "prices go up when people buy" - we know that - I think the question we're trying to figure out is whether it's priced in line with comparables in a way that it would at least hold its value moving forward.
I'm just confused that she'd buy another Tesla after that experience.
I fully agree. This isn't a doomsday scenario for anyone.
The concept of a controlled experiment is quite important to scientific discovery and obtaining new knowledge.

What you just said is pretty equivalent to saying: When the moon is full, there is more murder. Therefore full moons must be contributing to violence. No need to theorize what happened when there's not a full moon, that's not adding any facts to the case!
Has the benefit of existing, too, which is nice.
Tesla is currently being sued by actual customers based on this exact issue. They've promised FSD, and can't deliver it - especially without lidar.
Maybe have variable points per test and have a minimum passing point total, so that an important test could fail you in its own.
If someone gives something away for free, and you use it for free, that's not "abuse", that's just... taking exactly what was offered.
>He specifically claimed that the offer was truly unconditional, no matter what sort of fraud or criminality might be occurring within Twitter?

Yes. This was a huge deal, I don't know how you missed it. It's also why no one believed he could get out of it. That's why he had to tried sue to cancel the deal instead of just, cancelling the deal? It wasn't even clear that if he managed to prove TWTR had misled investors that could cancel the deal.

I wonder if with Next.JS server components, we can just get rid of tRPC + trpc-sveltekit.

The automated driving systems will have to pass a far higher bar than human drivers as a comparison. People will get even more upset about self-driving tech causing injuries/wrecks/deaths/endangerment vs what human drivers cause.

Long after self-driving systems are superior to human drivers on average, the headlines will still scream about humans being killed by self-driving tech. The sensationalism will still sell and people will still be very outraged about it.

The expectation will be no mistakes. Anything short of that will always draw a hyper emotional negative response, which will lure in political/regulatory responses.
The definition of "spy" that I know is that they are people who cultivate relationships with "agents" or "assets": people who have access to important secret information and are willing to share it.

Most spies don't go into forbidden places and physically dig up secrets themselves. It's infinitely easier to get to know someone who already knows those secrets and persuade them to tell.
I checked out the blog and it doesn't seem to be rendering the Markup correctly.

For example the h2 headers appear literally as '## HEADER' on the website.
i have to chuckle at the use of language to humanize their tech here - comparing "the waymo driver" to "NIEON". the one of those that sounds like the name of a robot from the future is actually just referring to a normal human.
One of the most depressing things in my tech worker life is witnessing how sex starved the average FAANG caliber engineer is.

The way that they got info about twitters political bias through project veritas was to... Get a cute looking girl to ask the guy nicely...

How many people who are smart and well connected enough to end up being watched by three letter agencies (which is most likely more of HN userbase than they would like to admit) have only experienced relationships, love, or lust that was paid for by some agent in Langley? My guess is that this happens far more than we would care to admit.

Heck there are memes about this kind of thing:

Maybe I am a bit cynical, but I am also afraid that it will turn into camouflaged adverts and a feast of humble brags.
She apparently took the opportunity to piss off both Putin and Lukashenko (Belarus dictator)...not sure if this was a wise move, but probably she just wanted to throw back some shit from when she was in office.
What would you consider a sensible solution?
What about

* Pip-tools(requirements.in + requirements.txt)

* Poetry (pyproject.toml+poetry.lock)

* Pipenv(Pipfile+Pipfile.lock)

Those and others enable easy declaration of direct dependencies and compile (resolve) a lock file of the actual dependency graph with hashes. Those tools have their issues and idiosyncrasies, but the dependency declaration aspect seems sensible and functional.
Flight plans for Musk's jets are public information.
> Are you able to speak more about your daily processes?

My life is defined by the absence of process and discipline. It's basically managed chaos. I do what I can, when I can.

The one process I have nailed down is medication. I use a pill planner and make it a habit to check it any time I can't remember if I took my medication. I use alarms because they are difficult to ignore and I can hit the snooze button if I'm busy. Reminders and calendar events don't work.

> How do you work to know yourself and your limits?

I've learned how my body and mind feels when I'm running low. I started with a mood tracking application, but once I learned to operate by feel, it became automatic. Once that problem was offloaded, I stopped using the app.

My therapist gave me some great advice: "go with what works". If an app becomes work that I start to avoid, then it's time to switch strategies.

> How do you know if you're being lazy or recuperating?

I generally give myself 15~30 minutes to get started on something. If I can't manage any useful focus, I move to something I can accomplish.

I may look lazy from the outside but I've had to be told by everyone (friends, family, doctor, therapist, support group, manager, etc) to slow down and take care of myself. That's been hard to accept but my productivity and happiness has greatly increased since I started doing that.

> If grit isn't about each day then what psychological stat is?

People aren't robots. We all have good days and bad days. There is no one stat, only patterns and trendlines. In a way, it's heartening. We can always make better decisions tomorrow. :)
