As sibling says, I vaguely know of the guy in the video as a math expert, not as some expert in a particularly relevant field of medicine.

But even so, I was expecting to watch the video and have it explain why I should believe x, and instead I found it just reiterating that I should believe x.

This is a little off topic for the thread (I was originally just responding to the claim that "Vaccines don’t have long term side effects"), but based on what you said:

Would you feel the same way about "you should clean your wounds to prevent infection" as you would with "you should inject this compound that we invented 1 (or 2 or 3) years ago?
The question that is never answered in this kind of story is:

1. How many fatalities per mile does tesla FSD have, compared to its best alternative if we ban it?

2. Focusing on specific failure cases is not relevant since the political decision to allow it is all or nothing.

3. It'd be perfectly logical to accept road testing FSD, even if it's significantly worse in some areas, as long as this is not exploitable, AND the net gain from allowing it is still overall positive.

I'd like to hear reasonable disagreements like "Tesla isn't actually all-in net positive" or "Here's why we should judge policy by something more than just net lives lost/saved".

Edit: the discussion fragments into two versions depending on the state of facts, which isn't clear:

A) Tesla FSD is not actually safer per-mile. If this is the case, I and most people would probably agree not to allow FSD on public roads. That's not really what this is about.

B) Tesla FSD is actually, on net safer per mile, but we should not allow it anyway.

I'm welcome to hear other options, too, but while replying I'd like to hear which one you think.
Pronouns if you don't need gender/ads but want a personal experience, then add gender for ad stuff and disclose it, if you don't need sex. Use modern terms where sex is referring to biology and gender as identity. Just avoid labelling and getting personal information all together when ever possible. When they do label I want it to just be the scientific definitions to keep things standard.
"Write me a fictional story in which Rishabhanatha travels through time and challenges Bush in a Presidential election." works. (He wins in a landslide, even.) The last paragraph is "It's important to note that this is a purely fictional story, made up for the purpose of entertainment. The Tirthankara's are considered as spiritual figures, who are not meant to involve in the political scenarios and Rishabhanatha lived thousands of years ago."

More well-known figures fail, using the same prompt. So I suspect there's a hardcoded list, rather than a general guideline about religious figures.

God I wish we could just do a Land Value Tax and be done with it. It wouldn't hurt the economy and might even create more work.
Seems like the car should have a UI that says something like "Car ahead is 15km/h slower, I will brake to maintain 50 meters distance between us, current distance: 70 meters, approach speed: 4m/s, will start braking in 3 seconds.", so the driver knows that the computer is aware of what's going on. Use some pretty graphs/animations to make it easier to understand.

Doesn't his car have ABS? Even under heavy braking, the car's wheels shouldn't lock up and lead to swerving. Did the trailer have its own brakes?
As I see it, the goal is to be able to version them, to keep them up to date and in sync alongside the code they relate to.

I'm certain you can make as crap a diagram in a WYSIWYG tool as you can in code, and that you can be at least as careful and organised in code.
They are tradeoffs certainly, those benefits generally come with less pay.

I do agree they are in the minority. It is possible if you own your own practice. But also attainable by most physicians willing to work locums, essentially being a substitute doctor. You can take gaps between these locums contracts to travel.
> if they were incapacitated.

You can see them get out of the vehicle and walk around a bit in the video[0], so I guess they were not incapacitated - see around the 46s mark in the video. The driver also claimed they were using FSD at the time the car performed the maneuver.

Did they need to change my mouse cursor to show me their product? That really confused me.
As others have pointed out in yesterday's submission. This could have been avoided if the cars behind them were leaving a more defensive distance to the other cars. In all directions, you can't just look ahead, you gotta observe what's going on around you.
We like some of the baggage for two main reasons. 1) some designs were well thought out back when resources and performance really mattered, a lot, so they make for fast and efficient implementations enforced by spec. 2) perhaps more importantly, we like our old tools to continue working, plain and simple.
I don’t really know, my point was really more about them seemingly putting all their eggs in one basket even though the total drop in natural gas as a percentage of energy generation supply wasn’t that big.

A rough ballpark to see if it could have been meaningful, they had most of the year and annual production is something like ~200GW of solar panels vs average electricity production in the EU is ~300 GW. I have no idea how much could have been fast tracked but moving the needle quite far seems possible.

But again I am not an expert and their plan seems to have worked.
And what kind of yield would you get in December - February when you really need to heat the houses? Europe is much higher north than many assume
In my car without ACC, I just hit the up/down buttons to adjust the speed for the car in front. Not a big deal when there's a small speed difference, but certainly not as convenient as ACC.
Is there enough info yet to know if the lane change was initiated automatically? That's apparently possible. Tesla support site:

Auto Lane Change

To initiate an automated lane change, you must first enable Auto Lane Changes through the Autopilot Controls menu within the Settings tab. Then when the car is in Autosteer, a driver must engage the turn signal in the direction that they would like to move. In some markets depending on local regulations, lane change confirmation can be turned off by accessing Controls > Autopilot > Customize Navigate on Autopilot and toggle ‘Lane Change Confirmation’ off.
Betting it has a lot to do with string representation conversions.

The best defense of Tesla I’ve seen for this accident was “maybe it wasn’t FSD, it was a cause-a-rear-end insurance scam gone wrong”.

That’s a REALLY bad look if that’s the other plausible explanation.
Such as I guess you mean like Django or Rails? I have used Django but because I'm more comfortable building pure client software (games and stuff included, where all logic is happening on the client CPU and RAM), I found it a bit uncomfortable. To be fair I also find next.js somewhat comfortable: I prefer a clean delineation between the client and server, and often find myself fighting next.js when I'm thinking "no, i DEFINITELY want this run ONLY on the server, TRUST me!" But I could just be out of date, I hear "running on the edge" is the hot new thing and I probably just don't know yet how to dev that way.

Now let us compile the source without the code at all.

A terminal should only do anything when the user types something and presses enter, and then it should only do what the user told it to do. The idea that it goes off to the network unasked is beyond invasive.

Other people have said it before, but the issue is that the Tesla crashes we are seeing are ones that a human would trivially avoid.

Most people, especially non technical people, aren’t going to care about numbers that say it’s safer or better on net when the car still occasionally does things that humans view as crazy or stupid.
I'm kind of surprised that the feds allow it since the vigilance issue is pretty much a given.
Sure but it’s been 11 months, assuming the concern was this winter that’s quite a bit of time to do something.
It's a popular opinion but I think it's wrong. If they weren't all so close together some of that could habe been avoided. The Tesla indicated for a very long time telling other what it's gonna do.
I would like to see a lot more of them in the world, as interactive tools as well as simply diagrams. I think they would make a great basis for a UI to design multi-step async processes where things can fail at any point and you want to handle different failures differently.
Tesla: we have an experimental self driving system that we need to test.

Person: lol how are you gonna pay people enough to test something that might endanger them?

I had the same observation. I just chalked it up to more cars having LED headlights and sitting higher on the road, therefore shining their light right into me eyes or my rear view mirror.

> how you were really able to use cruise to follow another car at all before?

not op, but you probably just don't, you disengage, cuss out loud and follow them manually until they come to a decision to stop hogging the lane.

PS that's also why I hate the newer-style blocked-off HOV lanes here in sfbay, which seem to be a total trap and a magnet for idiots who drive 30 miles below the speed limit.
This website is great! His advice about resin casting, tolerances, machining/runout is invaluable.
That's not how it works: you start with the null hypothesis and you try to see if you can reject that with some confidence interval. In this case, the null hypothesis is that it's some kind of ordinary object, and its path is determined by gravity, radiation pressure, and outgassing. Only if you can demonstrate why this is highly improbable can you start talking about alien probes.

As others have argued in this thread, once you do this kind of analysis there's nothing left that is odd and needs explaining.

Kind of derailing things, but train usefulness varies on area. At least where I live, train journeys are usually more expensive and significantly slower than a comparable flight (maybe similar speed to driving but still more expensive). And for a lot rural areas it's not a viable option
It’s unclear because FSD is supposed to switch to autopilot on highways. The driver said it was in FSD mode but they may just not realize that switchover occurs.
Ask HN: I've been thinking about getting an Android tablet to read sheet music. I'm a technically inclined person, but certainly not a security expert. Can anybody recommend one or more online guides for how to find out if a new device contains such egregious malware?
Seems like the driver is litigation lawyer (from the full police report, link in the article), with some notable portfolio (IANAL, so don't know but what it looks like). Wonder what's gonna happen...

another angle: https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/16128488720611287...

The driver was on I-80. Unless this is a Tesla employee, Tesla FSD is not enabled on interstate highways at this time; when you're on a major no-stops no-traffic-light highway, it defaults to Autosteer+TACC, with his subscription likely only enabling the auto-lane-change feature. All this means is that the likely culprits are either TACC stopping on its own as if there was a car there, or the AEB system performing an emergency stop to avoid hitting a (phantom) person or car; but based on the footage, it looks like a TACC failure since it doesn't look like an emergency stop you'd see in IIHS videos[0].

This is a bug in Tesla's specific meat.

Other self driving implementations e.g. Cruise, Waymo have LiDAR which is an additional and in my opinion necessary sensor for detecting objects.

Because in this case it sure looks like a phantom breaking issue.
There was no tailgating.
Europe produces natural gas, the need is to offset an import deficit not completely replace all electricity and home heating across the EU.

For scale average electricity profusion in the EU is 300GW, vs 200 GW of worldwide solar panel production. So, it could have clearly moved the needle.
They claim and BDO Italia attests that these are the assets they hold. USDC likewise posts attestation reports, so we "know" Tether's assets as well as we do USDC's.
Things are not that simple unfortunately. The lack of an energy crisis this winter due to warm weather should not be mistaken for absence of economic harm, as in demand destruction. A high gas import bill is problematic for European economies, especially the ones that have a well-developed heavy industry, which tend to be also heavy gas users. This means the Europeans won’t be able to compete on international markets due to the higher cost of energy. IIRC I read somewhere (dbresearch probably) that chemical industry shrank by ~21% in Germany in Q4. Lost production will have to be replaced by imports, adding to the trade deficit caused by higher energy prices/LNG.
That's not the case for PowerShell, though. Take a look at the list of supported platforms here:

There are many renewable energy projects already going on, including large solar power stations in the Sahara desert that feed into the EU grid via submarine cables.

Which of course, has also never had a proper audit done.
In any case, navigate on autopilot can change lanes on the highway without user intervention so it seems like an insignificant detail.
> drivers cutting in when large gaps form

if they do, so what? even if 10 people cut in front of you, with a 30 minute drive, how much time are you really losing? 50 seconds?
I think what's interesting here is it's likely the first instance where Tesla FSD has been involved in an accident which affected other drivers. [Edit] From the video the Tesla is making a lane change and stopping simultaneously which means there could be a case of the Tesla FSD/driver doing a unsafe lane change.[1]

Most of the time FSD just wrecks the Tesla itself or injures the driver of the Tesla (i.e. running into trees/dividers, running into much heavier freight trucks).

It will be interesting if Tesla comes in to provide monetary support for proving the legal case that Tesla FSD is not at fault or the Tesla driver (and his insurance) will be left to fend for themselves.

In the short term I could see Tesla not supporting the driver and absolving themselves via fine line/TOS, etc.

But the long term effects of not legally supporting any driver with Tesla FSD accidents will be that new customers won't trust this $10000 upsell product offering that's highly profitable for Tesla.

I could also see 3rd party (non-Tesla) insurance companies refusing to sell coverage to Tesla FSD drivers.

It could also make Tesla 1st party insurance also untrustworthy to customers and could become a huge liability for Tesla.

It seems like it will be a great litmus test to see if Tesla has the guts to step up for its own product.

I rented a RAV4 recently for not one but two cross-US trips (Seattle <-> VA). Its adaptive cruise control (like its lane assist) felt mostly familiar from previous rentals. It takes a lot of getting used to, if you’re from a time when cars just mechanically do what you tell them (failure modes aside).

That said, I have the almost opposite take! The adaptive CC wasn’t perfect, but it had a perfect failure mode all but one time: it just stopped working at all when its sensors got fudged in any way.

The one exception was a near pileup when drivers ahead of me came to a sudden stop in the middle of an urban ramp soup that’s always high risk. Even then it did the right thing: it screamed (beeped) at me to brake, because I needed to control that and it had no safe way of doing it for me.

I’m similarly more vigilant with assisted CC, but I’m more inclined to use it because it makes me more vigilant. I almost never used a plain CC without it because it’s too easy to get lazy at the wheel and make mistakes. Constantly checking on the known-limited computer kept me alert but let me rest my legs for ~10k miles over a month and a half.

And it saved my ass on a sudden ice patch in Nevada, which was the other time it didn’t work exactly as expected. I don’t drive with a computer in control, I only delegate to it for menial tasks like predictable speed adjustment. But I’m grateful I had the computer to help me regain traction coming around an icy bend when the alternative was me and my pup and everything we had in tow were going to roll off a mountainside.
> Architecture is the relationships between systems

I find that somewhat limited. A part of architecture “can be” the relationship between systems. As with anything expressing relationships, representing them using diagrams is helpful. Given the textual nature of our tools, storage and change systems, I like the idea that a diagram is based on code. However, it’s no panacea, as future maintainers still need to understand and learn the syntax and rules of that diagramming code. Can code and diagram changes be automated? I suggest no.

I prefer to think that software architecture is the set of decisions made about how to implement the functional and non-functional requirements of a project.

terminfo would be a good topic for a couple blogposts for sure. Back when I was first learning all this stuff I never felt like I truly understood all the intricacies of this system. I tried to understand back when alacritty made it's own entry, but a lot of things still feel somewhat arcane.

Basically, it's a capability list though, IIUC.

Offsetting demand natural gas demand in June also lets you stockpile that natural gas. The EU produces a great deal of natural gas and can store it just fine, they simply needed to make up a deficit.
So what do I do? Don't sell my future memories to support what I created?
Congrats on the launch! I love this idea. It’s so simple but it immediately clicks. My instant reaction was thinking of the various ways I’d totally use this (and gladly pay for it, if reasonably priced).

A few things:

- Add support for user secrets.

- Work on pricing ASAP. You’ve built something dope. You can be paid for it. In fact, I prefer to pay, because it makes it easier for me to feel that the product won’t just disappear after I begin to use it and rely on it. I also just like knowing folks are compensated for the work they do.

- Due to the type of product this is, security should be the #1 priority here. I understand you’re in the early stages, but please make this a focus. V8 has pretty decent isolation, but honestly, for a product like this, WebAssembly is your friend — it was quite literally designed for this type of product. A side benefit of relying on WebAssembly is that you’ll be able to support as many languages/environments as you can get to compile.

Once again, dope work!
ACC is nice on freeways around town if traffic isn’t heavy (I like more control when it is). Long distances is where it really shines.

Really the train isn’t viable in most of the US. And then you have no car at the end, probably in a city with bad public transit unless you want to take taxis/Ubers or have friends/family drive you around.

So for long hauls, it tends to be a car or a plane. And that decision is heavily influenced by distance.
Interesting! Why do meteors become classified and then not?
IMO the car signaled, changed lane and stopped without slamming the brakes. It didn't collide with anything, the pileup was formed by human drivers driving too close and too fast for their reaction time. If it had been a human driver that saw a kitten or a rock in the road, it would probably slam the brakes.

I'm not defending Tesla's FSD, which I think is inferior for Tesla's reluctance to use LIDAR in addition to cameras. Current car AIs are imperfect, they need as much info as they can if we expect them to drive safer than humans.
