Do you think it would have that effect?
Maybe there should be a maximum height for the headlights, so if someone makes a tall car they have to mount the headlights lower on the grill.
It's not even a bit surprising they'd miss things like this, IMHO. They do tests with a few (maybe even a lot of) intersections, but there are thousands upon thousands of intersections out there, including some where bushes are obscuring a stop sign, or the sign is at a funny angle, or sunlight is reflecting off the traffic lights, or heavy rain obscuring them, or plain old ambiguous signage...there's _bound_ to be mistakes. Human drivers make similar mistakes all the time.

I used to think that fact was going to delay self-driving cars by a decade or more, because of the potential bad press involved in AI-caused accidents, but then along comes Tesla and enables the damn thing as a beta. I mean...good for them, but I've always wondered if it was going to last.

I've been using it pretty consistently for a few months now (albeit with my foot near the brake at all times). I haven't experienced any of the above. Worst thing I've seen is the car slamming on the breaks on the freeway for...some reason? There was a pile-up in a tunnel caused by exactly that a month or so ago, so I've been careful not to use FSD when I'm being tailgated, or in dense traffic.
I was just talking about this today.
You can do it in better way by making your proxy wake the server directly, its possible with Caddy or Openresty.

I am not reading a 600 page, 15 year old report of out dated info, however a search of the report shows zero references to "1 in 6 Americans " nor "next meal"

So if you have a source to back that actual claim I would be happy to look at it, and likely refute why it is cherry picking data

>>A solid chunk of the US population lives in a food desert.

Food Deserts are a political term, largely attributed to urban not rural area's and ever every study you find talking about Food Deserts I can find at least 1 if not more refuting that actual data.
Interesting! Congrats on the launch.

I tried it out, and just first feedback:

- I often use the "Home" and "End" key to go the start/end of the line when I'm editing a cell. It scrolls to start/end of the whole spreadsheet, however. Since I'm not a spreadsheet user, I'm not sure if that's expected.

- The handlers like "on_dropdown_change" should receive an argument for the cell it's coming from, so you can e.g. change the cell that's next to it. Or how else is this supposed to be done?

It's quite cool :-) I suppose one problem could be integration with existing Google Sheets / Excel sheets?
heh, this was true for stackoverflow or for googling pretty much anything. Nothing new. The tools are not doing our job, they're just making the job easier.
That would explain why ChatGPT is always so confidently-incorrect.
That's always true. Dropbox employees may be browsing through customer files on their lunch break. Microsoft employees may be giggling about Microsoft 365 email contents. Both Dropbox and Microsoft are very well trusted, despite having access to confidential information, due to contracts & audits & "fame / popularity" (yes!) & long enough track record with no business-interesting scandals.
> However, I do not believe the same is true as a simulation of limited, superficial hallmarks of intelligence

Sure, but that's a belief not a firm conclusion we can assert with anywhere near 100% confidence because we don't have a mechanistic understanding of intelligence, as I initially said.

For all we know, human "general intelligence" really is just a bunch of tricks/heuristics, aka your superficial hallmarks, and machine learning has been knocking those down one by one for years now.

A couple more and we might just have an "oh shit" moment. Or maybe not, hard to say, that's why estimates on when we create AGI range from 3 years to centuries to never.

Show HN: Reflow – a kanban-style project management software within VSCode
Hi Hacker News

I am happy to share my projet: Reflow.
Reflow is a VSCode extension that allows you to plan, track, and manage your projects directly within the VSCode editor.

With Reflow, you can:
- Break down your codebase into customized tasks
- Create multiple workspaces, boards and statuses to track projects and sprints
- Assign priority, tags, and users directly to the task
- Collaborate in real-time with team members within VSCode
- Link tasks to code snippets and files

Checkout our VSCode Marketplace page to know more about Reflow!

Reflow is still in beta and it was developed by a team of two.
It is free to use. However, we plan to have a premium subscription for teams of more than 3 people in the future.
We also plan to develop integrations to other PM tools, such as Jira and Clickup.

Why we built it:
We are tired of using external tools to keep track of our code. Switching between the editor and the browser is a distraction. But more importantly, tasks in other tools lack the most important context: the code. With Reflow we can finally link each task to different snippets of code and files, which brings clarity and meaning to the codebase.

I am looking forward to your feedback and let me know if you have any questions :)
Washington D.C. is a high crime city, but you can safely walk in the National Mall at any hour of the day or night alone, and people do. If it were anywhere else it would be a place be a place most people wouldn't feel safe at when alone late at night in a city like DC.

Know why?

Because Capitol Hill and the Mall are secured six ways to Sunday. It is the seat of the US global empire. Congressmembers and high officials are common sights all around DC and they move around pretty freely. It is common to see them around town. It would seemingly be easy for extremists to find these people and intimidate of harm them, and yet this almost never happens.

That's because DC itself is highly secured, at least where the government people live and work. Congress and the Mall are a secure fortress within a secure city. There are soldiers, air defenses, snipers, and heavy surveillance everywhere.

The J6 protesters had no guns, no supplies, no secure communications, no central command. They were no match for capitol security. The police officers who allegedly died that day are not listed at "line of duty" deaths, i.e. no one says they were killed by J6 protester violence. Capitol security shot and killed an unarmed woman protester, the only death attributable to direct violence. This was also not the first time protesters had occupied the building.

I don't claim to know what actually happened on J6, but it is quite obvious that many of the media narratives about it are highly incompetent at best.

You can only lie to my face so many times before I start to question your credibility.
These are $25 bikes that I buy in bulk and just use around the city for me and my friends. They're locked with $2 combination locks, sometimes just to a plant. It really isn't surprising they go missing, but they're cheaper than a rental bike.
There was a great article about this a couple weeks back:

https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/ca-cities-to-lose-all-zo...

Basically, until these cities get a housing plan validated with the state, who is apparently sick of their crap like zoning in the middle of an active mall that will not be torn down, builder’s remedy is in place.
Part of the reason I'm not more bothered by Apple making PWAs viable is that they've failed to crack down on apps that don't meet their performance standards, anyway, letting those apps get away with just being terrible-performing, non-native-feeling web-app wrappers. That whole class of trash-tier "app" may as well be a PWA, I guess.

I'd rather they kick out every app with an unjustifiably-long launch time or with janky non-native behavior in places where it has no reason to be so, but since they're evidently not gonna do that, may as well have PWAs.
That legislation has already been passed. The Federal Tort Claims Act has been the law of the land for 77 years.

"But the point is that the human in the Room can never do anything else"

I disagree. I think the point is that the union of the human and the library can in fact do all of those things.

The fact that the human in isolation can't is as irrelevant as pointing out that the a book in isolation (without the human) can't either. It's a fundamental mistake as to the problem's reasoning.

"And, no it is still abso-fucking-lutely ludicrous to conclude that just because humans sometimes parrot, they aren't capable of doing anything else"

Why?

What evidence do you have that humans aren't the sum of their inputs?

What evidence do you have that "understanding" isn't synonymous with "being able to produce a sufficient response?"

I think this is a much deeper point than you realize. It is possible that the very nature of consciousness centers around this dynamic; that evolution has produced systems which are able to determine the next appropriate response to their environment.

Seriously, think about it.
Enjoy the recent added queue feature as well. There's a few products add they could make to keep it a killer product.
Well, I considered warning the WM police that I was going to rock up at the thieves' front door, and ask them nicely to give me back my property. And warning the cops that I expected a breach of the peace to occur, becauase I thought it was likely they would beat me up.

Failing to take measures to prevent a breach of the peace that they had been warned about would be bad publicity, at best.

But I'm not inclined to take on cops and robbers at the same time. Like a circular gunfight, except with me in the middle.
Oh damn, that title is definitely a lie then

I think the economic reality is that for a lot of software, especially user-facing software, "correct enough that it passed manual QA" is the threshold. It already is; even pre-AI. So I think AI + proofreading will be successful there, and it may not even make things worse than they currently are, especially in the long run

While critical logic, that really really has to be correct, to a point where you should maybe have it all planned out before even writing code, will still need to be hand-programmed for a long time
I didn't said journalism, I said reporting. A lot of the stuff in news outlets are copies of press releases.

It sounds pretty generic for me. I mean, Google sells productivity tools and services. "Improving productivity" is just table stakes, not something that's a useful mission statement. Vague or overly broad mission statements are pretty much the same as no mission statement at all.
Server-side prototype pollution: Black-box detection without the DoS
Stores are happy to sell all your data to advertisers for now, but what they really want is to use it themselves. Their wet dream is to get us to accept Personalized Dynamic Pricing (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338776528_A_special...) which means that once the store knows who you are (either by your photo, or by detecting the phone in your pocket, or by your loyalty card) they will customize the prices at the register just for you in order to take as much money from you as they think they can get away with.

They can drive up the price on the items you always buy until you stop buying as much, or lower the price on certain high price items just enough to attract you to them before they start creeping prices back up. They can use data like what you've bought from them before as well as data like your income level, who the members of your household are, and what your shopping habits elsewhere are.

Store loyalty cards are seen as a great way to start collecting useful data and get consumers used to the idea that some people get (or even deserve to get) different prices than other people. Be cautious of any place that asks you to use an app or scan a QR code to see their menu or prices, and resist the idea that stores should be allowed to discriminate by charging certain people more than others for the same product.

I have recently written a paper on understanding transformer learning via the lens of coinduction & Hopf algebra.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.01834v1

The learning mechanism of transformer models was poorly understood however it turns out that a transformer is like a circuit with a feedback.

I argue that autodiff can be replaced with what I call in the paper Hopf coherence.

Furthermore, if we view transformers as Hopf algebras, one can bring convolutional models, diffusion models and transformers under a single umbrella.

I'm working on a next gen Hopf algebra based machine learning framework.

Yup. Hersh also published bogus claims about the Syrian nerve agent attacks on civilians, claiming they were not done by the Syrian government, but by "outside agents".

Among his claims was that the Sarin was made by "mixing two inert chemicals", which is utter bullsh*t; the synthesis pathways for those deadly chemicals are notoriously difficult and hazardous, including things like hydrofluoric acid, which is extremely corrosive, and a itself a contact poison affecting the nervous system.

But he happily spouts his bullcrap stories, the primary beneficiaries of which are the autocracies of the world.

I dispute that it's easy to discern when AI is making a mistake. ChatGPT has given me very plausible incorrect answers, and had I not been fact checking I would have been none the wiser. I could choose not to trust anything ChatGPT puts out, but if I'm verifying literally everything then it becomes less and less useful as a tool.
And qualified immunity in these sorts of scenarios (and much, much more deliberately egregious conduct) has been the reality of the land since 1967.
That's an interesting idea, it sounds almost like using a fuzzer for generating new code instead of finding bugs in existing code.

EFISTUB can also be done on Debian [1]. I used this for a while, but it felt too fragile and inconvenient:

- the same disk is now impossible/harder to boot in another system/mainboard.

- no more choice between different kernels in case the newest one broke something

- to change the cmdline with kenel parameters you now need to run efibootmgr

Still, the quick boot can be worth it :-)

Because this is a mandatory OTA patch and does not involve stock being physically returned or taken for repair (as is typically implied by "recall") this headline is clearly very misleading.

I too am a fan of YouTube Premium, but the sponsored ads in videos are starting to devalue it. Some creators, especially those with longer videos, have sponsored ads that pop up every 10 minute; they are rather annoying, especially when you're specifically paying not see ads.

Just like a human, don't use these new AI tools to read your mind.

I've found ChatGPT to be impressively helpful at knowing where to continue to look for something. I can write a sentence and explain what I'm looking for, and maybe even paste in a code snippet, and 10 seconds later I get enough information to go back to Google and continue digging deeper.

For me it's become a bridge tool. Instead of spending an hour trying to get Google to understand my confusion and endless ads thrown my way, I get a very concise answer with full definitions in case I needed to know. It understands me, which is the most important part.

The code examples it spits out are meh, and likely always going to be error prone, but I cannot imagine it won't improve over time.
