47% sounds like a major boom but 2021 installs where also up 34% over 2020.

So no the EU didn’t suddenly change policies in 2022 to bring a lot of new generation online, just continued the same long term trend.
Somewhat counter intuitively, and to great frustration of the person behind. The safe thing to do when someone is tailgating is to give more space in front of you so that you can brake more softly giving them more time to react.

Or pull over and let them pass, as people often use tailgating to attempt to indicate the car in front is too slow.

Edit: (tailgating = follow too closely)
Strange take you have there in assuming they don't understand performance possibilities. Many of the problems that analysts and such work on aren't performance bound because focusing on the performance would be a net waste of time. "Don't optimize early" and all that. For example, I had to share SQL recently where the absolute most important thing, beyond all else was to make it readable. CTEs fit the role.
I find it quite weird multiple things failed on the same day, such as the UK post office system unable to deliver abroad
> "Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a damaged database file."

I read it as filesystem corruption from a bad disk, coupled with redundancy that doesn't actually work.
Yeah I’ve thought of doing this. I probably will at some point. A gyroid should be castable
lets ban calculators too, or any sort of cleverness, procedural answers written by blood no pen or papers either.
In Singapore, 50 years is a long time and the train goes where you're going.

I'm not saying the US could pull off a Singapore, but there's no excuse for San Francisco, or LA, or any other large city to have done so.
My take is that you are probably right in that it is pretty easy for Tesla to place all the blame on the driver of the Tesla and weasel out of any legally required support for the driver via TOS fine legal print in the short term.

But after the 10th (or maybe 100th) scenario where Tesla FSD is at fault but Tesla scapegoats responsibility onto the driver who is branded by Tesla's legal team as a dumb/irresponsible/clueless/reckless driver it starts making less sense.

That driver is likely to have been a highly loyal Tesla fan/customer/evangelist/believer who paid $10,000 for FSD sight unseen. Long term the evangelists might no longer evangelize and may in fact (correctly or incorrectly) spread the message to the general public that FSD is useless/unfinished feature - leading to long term damage to the Tesla brand.

upvote. this will be argued against but in 10 years we'll all have "generative answer tools" as a standard in all industries. The "autofilling" of industries.
SQLite also uses them on the website.

> 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.

Tesla publicly disparages people who died relying on their products, and refuses to cooperate with the NTSB. I'd expect nothing less in this case. Somehow that hasn't been a big factor in sales.
What are you on about? Some of the cards don't have enough coolant in their vapor chambers. The ones that do are perfectly fine. It has nothing to do with "pushing the limits of design". Simple manufacturing defect.
There is no difference in behavior when switching from FSD to Autopilot or vice versa. And there is never any ambiguity about which is active because it is completely determined by road type which you're obviously aware of while driving.
Wait, no more "po [$arg1 reason]"?

It doesn't as trains don't have the convenience of your own car where the stops are.

If you had a train you could drive your car onto it would be more equivalent.

Also train lines have far less coverage than highways.
TI calculators were required from middle school forward albeit the ones with stored memory were not allowed because of answer storage. just a straight 83+ 84, you had to write and show the work but the arithmetic was definitely allowed via calculator.
Vim is touch-typing on steroids
As a further example to this, my EV is currently charging and will finish soon. The current wholesale market rate for electricity in my area is -$1.40/MWh. There's so much spare capacity at the moment they're more than giving it away. We could have many thousands of cars charging right now and it wouldn't make a difference on the grid tonight.
I had a design notebook for the project, which included all the datasheets for the various chips. Dammed if I know what happened to it.
Yes it is definitely more annoying. I find myself flipping the rearview mirror so some of their light shines back at them.
I understand why rates are collapsing. Why is demand / volume collapsing now? Because of slowdowns in China?
The more I think about it the more it seems like the code itself should be the diagram. Not the code you write FOR the diagram, but the code for the feature, product, team you work on.

Here’s an example just off the top of my head:

Feature1: Diagram {
// list feature 1 dependencies
feature2: Feature2
}

Feature2: Diagram {
// list feature 2 dependencies
}

Then some compilation system should be able to build a not so noisy diagram from this. Key being not so noisy (I don’t care about the 100 million sub classes here).
This is just plain cynicism and dramatization. “Massive instability” lol as if anyone with a desktop OS of any sort in 2023 has had anything close to that kind of experience. Let me know when my scroll bar UI is lagging like it’s 2003 in Cupertino.

I’m sure Jaguar had zero errors and had all the code audited by Steve Jobs himself to make sure it had top quality.

And for real what indicator is there that Apple has low-talent employees? Do they not pay well with good benefits? Where exactly do you expect all the good systems programmers are working?

I don’t think a company with bad low level engineers would be bragging about wake from sleep times in their marketing materials.

I don’t know of any other desktop OSes that replaced their entire file system with a routine OTA update transparent to the user.

I can think of other big recent changes like how people criticized the new System Settings panel a bunch, but at least Apple didn’t take 10 years of iterative updates to not even finish the transition. Please, someone tell me why Windows 11 still has the old Control Panel when Apple replaced their entire settings panel in a single update.

As stupid as it is, in my mind the simple fact that iOS just added a “copy and delete” button to the screenshot capture UI tells me that there are still plenty of power user geeks at Apple. We shouldn’t be surprised that they happen to care about different things than what we cared about in the 90s.

We can nitpick the bugs all day but I can’t think of another desktop OS that executes on its goals as consistently as macOS, commercial or not.
Anything that travels faster than light is a violation of causality and would be perceived to move backward in time.
In this article I understand the concern about NOx, good ventilation, a detector might be a good idea.
A quick look at the site show how much it is targeting at fighting all fossil fuels. But fossil fuels are the backbone of our civilisation. Yes we need to transition, and it’s happening, but if you were to cut them off completely I think that more that half of the world population would die in the next 12 months.
So let’s be careful with that transition, we can easily kill more people by raising the cost of fuel than saving future people from hypothetical climate catastrophes or from NOx.

Whatever what the activists and government does, the pricing alone is driving out all fossil fuels. Solar, wind and batteries are already cheaper than the other alternatives. It’s just a question of a few years.
Nah, it is just basic math based on the quantity and type of product that is ordered.

Out on a limb prediction: Apple will introduce touchscreens to Macs and then remove them a couple of generations later.
While we don't have this we do have two simple technologies which massively amplify the benefits of whatever exercise you do: whey protein and creatine (plus a whole host of others where the risk/reward profile is less straightforward)
Everything is worth encrypting by default. It's the digital equivalent of putting a lock on your front door.

In addition to having passwords (pass phrases), have multiple keys. Store master keys (for sets of disks) in a fireproof lockbox on a usb stick, refreshed occasionally. Store it in some secure third location.

It's like having the key to your storage box or your house. Encryption doesn't prevent someone from absconding with your data on the web- it prevents someone with physical access from taking off with your data.

Have multiple copies on different key chains. If it works in the real world, it works here just the same.
Wouldn't wood (which comes from cutting trees) be worse for the environment?
It's also incredibly slow. It also needs a way to send back the data, unless you expect it to slowly return to somewhere "civilized". So there is either tech on board or they have tech capable enough to pretty much just observe us directly.

Maybe as some first contact protocol, by dropping the rock outside a candidates solar system. But again, i'd expect them to have so much better ways to observe.

We humans really have a tendency to see pattern in things. Even after having having seen the decompiled game code being basic RNG, a part of me was still looking for ways to improve my drop chance by me doing things slightly different :D
Slightly off-topic but I find it incredible that people in the comments think interstellar travel is impossible (or almost impossible)

A couple centuries ago, the brightest minds thought that humans flying in the air would take a million years. How can humans travel to the other part of the earth within a month? Today, it takes 16 hours (4 of which are airport security).

A century ago, almost everyone thought that stepping on a divine body like the moon is absolutely impossible for humanity. We did it less than 80 years after inventing aircrafts.

A century ago, everyone thought it was impossible to fling a tiny device to blow up an entire city. Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

Now, we think that it would be impossible to travel very long distances in space. Well, this challenge seems a piece of cake compared to flying in the air, walking on the moon, or generating unimaginable energy from atoms.

My layman solution to interstellar travel is constant acceleration using controlled nuclear fusion. We can use interstellar dust for necessary matter for our nuclear fusion (lots of hydrogen in interstellar dust). Even if we can't use interstellar dust while travelling, we can certainly carry enough from our solar system.

I read somewhere (don't remember where) that if a ship constantly accelerates in space, it can reach another star system in a few decades and another galaxy in less than a century.

It's definitely a trivial challenge for humanity compared to what we have accomplished in the last 2 centuries. What do you think?
This is a beautifully-designed app, and I love that the proceeds go toward supporting your little brother's education.
>Or are you prepared to make the same argument that using something like chatGPT is perfectly fine for any papers students turn in because they are "learning to use AI tools properly"

Yes, because I believe all so-called creative fields will be dominated by AI in the near future. Programming jobs will mostly be replaced with jobs writing prompts for the AIs that write the code, stories, make the art, music, etc.

If people want to learn programming and problem solving, it would be better to do so online, and in their free time, as a hobby. At least in the US, that won't mean taking on a lifetime debt burden in the midst of a market working as aggressively as possible to make you obsolete.
You expect people to listen to a 2 hr podcast? lol
I really like the diagrams from Refactoring.Guru.
They provide clear representation of what the design patterns are solving, along with real world analogies.

I suspect this is just statistics, like "it is likely that two people will have the same birthday in a roomful of people"
You can thank government regulation for that. The semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles, because they're so large and tall, have sensible regulation designed to prevent blinding other drivers in smaller vehicles.

Pickups and SUVs don't have this, for reasons... I guess the regulators don't want to piss off the large majority of the voting public, who feel entitled to blind other drivers?
How is this regulatory capture?
It's not clear if TZ=Asia/Almaty or TZ=UTC helps to avoid those thousands.

Also what about alpine musl?
It’s very unlikely it’s a first time FSD caused accident for others. People using FSD allow it to do reckless things, just to see “if it’ll figure it out”. You can cause accident, without being involved in it, especially if you drive in unpredictable way.

Like this one - if driver would stop sudden breaking and moved forward, cars behind him could have still crashed.

That’s the thing about testing on the public roads - there are many ways you can affect other users.
You do not, but that wasn't the hypothetical posited by OP.

In the actual case with Tesla, the driver of the car that was in front of the pile-up was not at fault IMO. But there were a bunch more cars behind, and at least some of those slammed into each other because they didn't maintain proper distance, according to the police.
Makes sense. We have HOV lanes which reward for being good for the environment. Even better is an autonomous lane that rewards not adding latency to the prisoners dilemna, seems the ultimate altruistic move, someone wanting to not impede or slow others.
Yeah I think this is kinda true.
For those following this saga, today the Phoenix office of the National Labor Relations Board adopted the recommendations the hearing officer made back in September (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32690937). To recap: Amazon alleged that the union made illegal bribes (including distributing marijuana) and that the Brooklyn office put a thumb on the scale during the election (which is why the case was transferred to Phoenix). Today, the NLRB certified the election over those objections, which was the expected outcome.

The next step is an appeal to the full NLRB board, which like the regional office is unlikely to be receptive (particularly for the charge against the NLRB itself). Only after that can Amazon appeal to a neutral body - the Federal Courts of Appeal.

It has now been a little over 9 months since the election took place and it could easily take another year before the legal process runs its course.

In Tokyo at least in the proper city it's easy to feel you're fine with just JR + subways.
Do you suggest me to annotate my errors with "file:line" strings? Do you suggest me to grep source files with error messages to deduce stack trace? Because that's what I'm doing right now when I have to deal with stacktrace-less errors and it's not pleasant.
I think the insistence on having data for every possible situation for training purposes is indicative of the problem. Humans only require a small amount of training and can extrapolate this to many situations.
The difference to trains in Musk (and Silicon Valley's overall view) is that with automated cars, you don't have to share your personal space with other people (the poors!). It's easy to make fun of the overall project but there's elitism behind it - have your private space at the cost of the public.
Great to hear, looking forward to trying Warp once again! It did have some really handy stuff built in.
What kind of database are they using, I wonder, to end up with such a spectacular failure?
It's a good post, and this kind of site is why I'm glad RSS still exists. Look forward to seeing more in my feed reader.
In Denmark at least, employment is at will during probation, yet you cannot just fire someone on day one or rescind the signed contract, as that would be seen as signing the contract in bad faith in the first place.

I don’t know how the US sees this, but surprisingly often the law works one “what’s reasonable” rather than what’s the exact wording.
Prince Street genuinely is very good, especially the square pies. It's just a pain in the ass now that the lines have gotten long.
The simulation theory is no different from religion.
Because this is the first car pile up we've ever seen.

Interesting because a computer was involved we are incensed. "No business being on the road"... but the millions of other car crashes "oh yeah, well humans make mistakes!"

Tesla's claims of being "safer than human drivers" is as much a testament to their technology as it is to how poor human drivers are.
minGPT prioritized being understandable above all else, and was not very fast. This repo includes several optimizations, but it still much more understandable than probably any other open source implementation.
> you are probably right in that it is pretty easy for Tesla to place all the blame on the driver of the Tesla

Whoa now, I didn't say that at all! I'm just talking about FSD vs. Autopilot here. It's entirely possible that Autopilot is at fault! I am curious to see what the investigation will uncover. My point is simply that this situation has nothing to do with FSD. It could have happened four years ago as easily as yesterday, and anyone trying to tie this to recent developments in FSD is being misleading.
I use a Shapeoko XXL 3 and 4 and I have a HDM on the way. The 5 Pro and migration to ballscrews for X and Y instead of belts for their more affordable machines looks great. Wanted to first say this is a great resource and I’ll be constantly referring to it. It doesn’t mention Fusion 360 and Vectric Aspire much so I just wanted to add that Fusion is great for engineering designs and CAM but is terrible at machining shapes derived from STL or other high resolution 3D data. Fusion likes you to create the source data in Fusion. It can’t handle creating CAM tool paths for scans with more than 50,000 triangles and even more than 10,000 is asking a lot. Aspire absolutely eats STL tool paths for breakfast and asks for seconds. So for machining topography I’ve moved entirely over to Aspire. I like it so much I’m using it for other non topo projects too because it’s just so fast. It is significantly slower on a Windows VM but absolutely screams along on a modest gaming PC. There’s a free tier for Aspire so try it out. To buy Fusion or Aspire is expensive which is why the guide probably doesn’t mention them much.

Also total tangent but I just installed a Fireboy automatic fire extinguisher above my CNC machine that I use for overnight unattended jobs along with cameras and remote shut off. I’d strongly recommend this for longer jobs. CNC fires are common and seem to be most often caused by insufficient work holding where the part comes loose and is dragged by the bit creating friction and heat.

These are documented.

But that design is configurable. We know B extension (optional) is enabled. I have no idea about every other setting this core can be synthesized with.

I do. They aren't responsive enough and the people in front of me aren't maintaining a consistent speed, so I just switch back to the pedal unless I'm pretty much by myself. I rented a car with adaptive cruise control and really loved it.
In the video, the Tesla comes to a gradual stop and the car behind it didn't change speed at all. The third car was able to stop without hitting the second car and that was arguably more challenging. Second car wasn't paying attention. Maybe it was using cruise control?

Most CNC machines come with a vacuum attachment which I recommend using. If your feeds and speeds are correct your making chips, not dust.

IMHO, Ukrainians should grab Königsberg for themselves after the end of war and then exchange it for something useful, e.g. exchange it for Transnistria with Moldova, instead of returning Königsberg to Germany.
Trains aren't really comparable to autonomous lanes.

An autonomous car can travel on both normal roads, and in an autonomous lane. Roads are everywhere -- there's a road leading up to most people's place of residence.

Trains rely on tracks which are not as common as roads. Trains are also not owned by individuals. Most people do not have a train station outside of their house.
U74-MC performance is not an unknown, and they can do much better than that.

Of course, there's a lot of software factors holding it back, such as quality or lack of drivers.

Benchmarks will be worth re-running in a few months, once some level of ecosystem is in place.
Interstellar travel is downright easy on time scales of hundred to thousands of years. We just need to make humans last long enough.
I only have one car with ACC, it'd be really nice if it had half size adjustments, because N bars is too close, and N + 1 is an engraved invitationn for people to pass me up, but not immediately the car I'm following. But once they do pass that car, the ACC wants to speed up just to slow down again.
Exactly this - life in the USA has felt like an unfamiliar board game, run by a rules lawyer who has a grudge against you (personally), my entire life. No wonder we have a shorter life expectancy than _Cuba_!
