Some things are absolutely safety relevant. But no one cares.
A sponsorship in a video paid directly to the YouTuber is very different from a targeted ad that YouTube runs. It doesn't interrupt the content in unexpected ways (only ways planned by the creator), it's targeted based on content rather than data mining, and the creator usually tries to add a bit of personality to it. Not to mention you can skip them using the regular scrubbing controls rather than being forced to watch at least 5 seconds.
I agree that people who don't cite the evidence are ignoring the evidence? Are you trying to say I'm doing that by pointing to relevant datasets which track the number of accidents and the probability of injury? If so, why are there accidents tracked in the datasets such that the rate can be calculated? This kind of contradicts the claim that I'm asking to ignore, but I definitely agree that other people are ignoring the data if that is what you are trying to say.
Unaudited (internal Tesla data), cherry-picked (comparing with average cars in USA, which are 12 years old beaters, to their very young fleet of expensive cars) data, that doesn't correct for any bias (highway driving vs non-highway driving being one of the many issues) is not exactly the magic bullet you think it is.

Also, none of that is self driving. This data talks about AP, not FSD. FSD is also not self driving by any means (it's level 2 driver assist), but that's a detail at this point.
I listen to a a few ATC YouTube channels like VASAviation[1], Mentour Pilot[2], 74 Gear[3]. Are you say that if VAS, etc. put up a video of UK ATC traffic, while in the UK, they could be punished for that? Are we talking some 5 pound fine, or is that something closer to an arrestable offense? My assumption is it falls under some vague "safety and security" measure in response to 9/11, but that would raise questions about just having it encrypted, instead.

Honestly, the concept of this being illegal is shocking to me. I had assumed recording/playback of ATC comms was essentially a universal standard practice (minus Military, police ops, etc.) to help with education and training. It seems like a terrible shame that the UK would have such a strange rule barring it.

Atlassian decides which vendors they use and which vendors have access to their data. It's Atlassian's responsibility to protect the data that they have and to make sure that anyone they share that data with is taking similar steps. This is Atlassian's failure, their fault, and their responsibility. Hopefully they are right and no customer data was at risk.
The problem is that the popular, "scandalized" understanding of "the media lie!!" doesn't have the nuance of sociological and political theories.

The sociologist notes will note that the media serves the interests of the powerful while still reporting some number of facts. The most extreme of the scandalized public will say "the media lies - they say X so Y must be true and X must be a plot". This produces a whole of truly bizarre thinking (often on the right but no doubt on the left as well).
Basically criminal negligence to anyone that actually gets hurt by the FSD beta
You haven't met a bullshitter then. ChatGPT can be a bullshitter. We built a bullshitter.
It certainly has use cases, but they’re more marketing oriented. It can help people who’re not fluent in English write better copy, it can do low key reporting work by writing articles from press releases, it can summarize or classify text, or do sentiment analysis. There are probably a couple of billion in revenues in there with various APIs. But it just isn’t the next big thing as we’ve led to believe the last few weeks. The kind of technology that could give Microsoft a fighting chance against Google.
> It pretty much let me daydream

You shouldn't be daydreaming on Navigate on Autopilot. Its only Level 2, you're supposed to be ready take the wheel in a second or two. You're supposed to still be actively paying attention to the road, constantly.
>Look how cold some countries and regions get?

As someone from said countries and regions, people living outside freeze to death here. Long before you get to that point your water pipes will freeze, leaving you without running water. The pipes will then burst and flood your house if you don't address it quickly enough. You can certainly heat it to a lower temperature and occasionally crack open a window for some fresh air, but there's a difference between conditioning yourself to be comfortable at 17C and -30C.
> If you're worried about it, compile your own builds.

You forgot an important part: If you're worried about it, compile your own builds, and read and fully audit all the code before compiling. Then upon every update, read and audit all the changes. I believe this is infeasible even for the tech giants.
That's a measurably false statement. Email marketing is done so aggressively because it's so successful. Marketing is about conversion. It's not about making everyone love you. Having a 1M customers who like your brand and don't buy anything is less valuable than 10K who spend actual money. You may be equally shocked that direct mail (ie paper mail) still have extremely high conversion rates which is you still get so many ads in your mailbox.
I'd love that, 90% of the ones I see are just from forum sites that use software that automatically provides some terrible "app" that no-one in their right mind would want, anyway.

IIRC (and I may be mis-remembering) they mostly just added that in the first place because sites were hacking in their own (which, on its own, might be fine), and other sites were abusing that dynamic for phishing or otherwise scummy purposes (not fine), since there was no standard look & behavior for those prompts. As long as installing PWAs requires user initiation with actions in the browser chrome, and can't be initiated by a link in site content, that shouldn't be a problem with PWAs.
On the other hand, my bookshelves are almost entirely full of books I haven't read. I get rid of most books after reading them to make room for more. In that sense asking whether I'd read every book on the shelf would be like seeing a refrigerator full of food and asking if I'd already eaten everything in it.

Kids, remember to ask: 1) When did you last make a new investment, not a follow on? 2) When did you last raise a fund and how far through are you with your current fund? 3) How many new deals did you do in the last 12 months? 4) Which partner was the last one to lead a new investment. I joined a VC shortly after the dotcom crash and yes there were quite a few zombie funds around, even a few LPs attempting to sue for the return of those funds dry powder. Very few remained truly active.
If Reddit is a platform and launchpad to kickstart other communities, doesn't taking the WSB brand for itself really shoot itself in the foot? Won't that scare away new communities from forming on their platform?

They really should be embracing this guy and encouraging others to create similarly interesting communities.
I use zipties when I have a more permanent install (like this one), but will use velcro ties (you can get a huge pack on Amazon for under ten bucks) when I know I'll be swapping things out here and there.
Agreed with all this. The absolute best thing you can do as an engineer at a smaller company is not write code at all. Figure out how to solve problems using existing tools and processes. If you do have to write code, write the absolute simplest thing possible that solves the problem. That doesn't mean "low quality," because things like testing/CI/monitoring are still important. It just means you aren't building a system that needs to scale to 100 million concurrent users.
They may not do it to your face (though some will). But on the internet there are a bunch of people that will lie to you. Even worse they often do it for financial or social gain.

ChatGPT's motivation is simply that it was trained to do so. Huamns usually have more nefarious motives for their lies.
Yep, work for a telco. It can be soul-crushing, but you'll easily fall through the cracks for months at a time.
Local governments don’t generally run deficits (in the US). And there definitely is a price signaling mechanism. If trash becomes more expensive to dispose of, that cost is passed on to consumers via higher taxes.
I don't know what the percentage of "native" apps that are really web views and/or javascript underneath, but am certain that it's a lot. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than 50%.
There was a big "living below your means" message I was getting from folks when I was graduating 25 years ago, and I think it has really paid off. Finding a comfortable, satisfying lifestyle that can be funded with mid-level comp has been such advantage for my family.

I say that because whereas I work where I want, there are a number of folks I interact with who drag themselves to jobs they hate because they "can't" leave the comp. Sometimes they really have ratcheted up their COL quite high, and other times it is just too much of blow to imagine their salary cut in half. I'll share my experience of a series of paycuts for ever more interesting work, and the satisfaction that resulted, but it usually doesn't seem to resonate.

"Recalls" almost never involve being returned. There's a recall out on my car's water pump (Thanks a lot VW) and no part of it involves sending my car back, or even interacting with VW or a dealer. It's just something I'm supposed to keep in mind over its life and various maintenance in the shop.

Other cars get "recalls" all the time that amount to updating the software in the ECU or TCU. Tesla is simply being treated like everyone else.

Hell, even in food, a "recall" usually means "throw it away" not return it.
Yeah right. Your concern that massively overrepresented groups might be overlooked while underrepresented groups are emphasized is just a bit of fun.

It's a fun position to be in where whether you get a job or not is just a thought experiment.

well, if you don't get the software pushed to the QA team (the customers), how else are they going to get it tested?
I think it's more useful if you're asking it to create something new, similar to the image generation tools. I can tell it write a script to call some public API, write a rough draft of an essay, generate dialog for a video game, etc. It's up to you to vet the quality, but it can easily do all that. It's still toyish just like the the image tools.

Asking it to teach you something and cite sources is a massive stretch. People are just trying to trip it up on a dumb use case. It's pretty fun to trip up an AI, but it's not really surprising.
Apparently, it is!

Clinical trials also have strict ethical oversight and are opt-in. If clinical trials were like Teslas, we'd yeet drugs into mailboxes and see what happened.
The key treaty on this is the Chicago Convention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Convention_on_Internat...

https://www.icao.int/Meetings/anconf12/Document%20Archive/an...

Appendix 4 - Unmanned free balloons

2.1 An unmanned free balloon shall not be operated without appropriate authorization from the State from which the launch is made.

2.2 An unmanned free balloon, other than a light balloon used exclusively for meteorological purposes and operated in the manner prescribed by the appropriate authority, shall not be operated across the territory of another State without appropriate authorization from the other State concerned.

2.3 The authorization referred to in 2.2 shall be obtained prior to the launching of the balloon if there is reasonable expectation, when planning the operation, that the balloon may drift into airspace over the territory of another State. Such authorization may be obtained for a series of balloon flights or for a particular type of recurring flight, e.g. atmospheric research balloon flights.

2.4 An unmanned free balloon shall be operated in accordance with conditions specified by the State of Registry and the State(s) expected to be overflown.

Section 2.2 and 2.3 is applicable here. That they didn't know, and the government didn't know, and this wasn't a exclusively used as a weather balloon... there are possibly some things that the hobbyists did that may not have been completely within the bounds of the treaty.

There are also things like:

Honestly somehow prices have just gone to a race to the top versus the bottom. If every time you march prices up it takes a week longer relative to the rest of the market to book that room, and you and the rest of the airbnb property owners don't necessarily mind waiting an extra week if it means you just hiked up prices, then prices are just going to keep going up and up so long as people keep coming. And they will keep coming, because as you are losing out your middle class tourists, you are gaining wealthy tourists, who are funding more luxury development and snowballing the effect until they are priced out for even more wealthy people.
She rarely mentions Bitcoin in her research, and when she does she always sticks to the facts.

I found an interesting phrase in the official report. NHTSA formally says that not respecting 'local driving customs' is a defect:

...the feature could potentially infringe upon local traffic *laws or customs* while executing certain driving maneuvers...

Do they want Tesla to create a DB with 'allowed' and 'locally faux pas' driving maneuvers? It sure reads like they do.
I find it useful for answering technical / programming questions. It is completely unhelpful maybe 20% of the time, explicitly incorrect in a minor detail half the time, and imperfect 80% of the time.

However, it gets me an answer to my question in seconds almost always faster than searching. Traditional googling will have me wading through forum posts and bad documentation which almost always takes much longer and sometimes completely fails or takes hours to get the right answer.

Fast occasionally wrong answers are way more helpful. I’m quickly switching to first asking chatgpt for an answer and only switching to google or official docs when the answer doesn’t seem to work.

I absolutely don’t “trust” it, but I don’t have to. I try its suggestions and if they don’t work move on to other sources of information.
I know you're trying to make light of this and be funny, but this is not a joke and you come across as wanting to condone or enable selfish, harmful asinine behavior.

Yes, but that was a different America. Post 9/11, post housing crisis, post global terrorism, post decline into late stage capitalism is changing the narrative substantially. Everyone is constantly on guard these days. But I agree with and love the sentiment.

People keep saying a lightweight craft under six pounds poses no threat to commercial aviation, but is that really true?

I doubt a balloon with a circuit board could cause an engine to fail, but there are lots of sensitive measurement devices, like a pitot tube, that I imagine could fail if a balloon hit it. (For reference, Aeroperu 603 was brought down by tape that wasn't removed from the plane.)

I'm all about hobbyists hobbying, but it does seem like there should be at least some so of registration system so we know what people are launching into shared airspace.
I'm also in the western, US (the PNW) and my bike was stolen a couple of years back. It had a sticker and a registration number from my apartment building, which they called and left their phone number saying they found the bike abandoned and want to return it.

I called the number, and they told me to meet up somewhere in a relatively rough neighborhood. I told them I would love to meet up in front of a police precinct which they turned down, saying they don't have a car and can't get there (told them they can ride the bike to the precinct, and I can arrange an Uber to drive them back but unsurprisingly they said no).

I called the Seattle PD and told them everything, asked if they can help me by sending someone at the meeting site. They pretty much burst out laughing, told me not to go as I will likely get robbed or worse, forget about the bike and move on with my life. (I did file a report for the stolen bike though).

I ended up getting some money from my renter's insurance. The bike was worth slightly over $1000 when it was new (was stolen after about a year). I keep my bikes indoors now.
Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various “party lines.”

I stopped using Airbnb after being scammed by it two times in a row. Both times the property rented was unliveable and completely different than the description. They said they couldn't do anything about it. I asked if I can at least review it so others don't fall into the trap. They said sure.

A few days after my review went online they removed it because "checkout didn't take place". It did take place and I am out several hundred Euros. I guess they wanted me to spend the night with the scammer in unliveable place.

The whole experience was refusal of cooperation by Airbnb and protecting the scammer. I think it's very likely they are on the scam themselves. Afterall the only person who is out of money is me and I am not even allowed to warn others (being left late in the day to find emergency accomodation in the high booking season is another small problem I had to deal with).

The whole process is designed to make it as difficult as possible to win a case vs dishonest host or even leave a review (ridiculous design like max 1000 words of review, no ability to go back if you make a typo and click next, several minutes of chatting with bots before you can get disinterested human the line etc.)

If you don't want to get scammed with no recourse don't use Airbnb. The reviews you see are heavily filtered to make hosts look better. Hotels are better and cheaper. Private apartments are way better via Booking as they take customer's side regularly (which is why many Airbnb hosts find Booking hard to work with).
IIRC I think six characters was also the maximum for the length of global symbols in C on early Unix systems, possibly just because that's what everyone was used to on earlier systems.

But note that I asked about why six characters, not why six bits per character -- however your note is perhaps suggestive -- maybe the six character limit is similar to the six bit character after all: something established (possibly for mechanical reasons) in 1928? Perhaps?
PWA is also a two-tap process - and with less cognitive dissonance. No reading reviews, terms of service, privacy docs. No "onboarding" workflow.
These missions may not actually represent much extra cost beyond the expended weapons however. The pilots have to get a certain number of flight hours regardless of whether they come in the form of training flights or missions to keep the world safe from small mylar balloons.

Still, you’re implying the use of a deadly weapon on someone else’s property. That’s going to get you in trouble.
No, your argument is just ridiculous. The standard isn't and shouldn't be how much they get right. It should be what they get wrong and how they do that. I completely disagree with your point, and phrasing it obtusely just makes you obnoxious from a conversational standpoint.
> whether it's a true physical recall

I hope by participating in this thread you're aware by now but just to be clear there is no "physical" recall necessary. The recall is about documentation, customer awareness, and fixing the problem. "Physical recall" is meaningless and unimportant, it's not what "recall" means at all.
I think a better start would be to not sell any food that is delivered to either you or the customer in plastic packaging.

Just paper, cloth, metal, and glass. I think you'll be able to reach a larger market that way, and if you are delivering then charge a small fee to take back the empty containers to either recycle or reuse.
Is it just me, or is the tone of the title and this article a little absurd? "Feared"? It's a hobby balloon for goodness sake, it's not a human being. We are living in a extremely heightened state of alert and security and frankly we all should be worrying a lot more about larger problems than science experiment balloons.
Weirdly, I heard of some genuine use from a family in a pub the other day.

Two of the kids were university/college age, talking to their parents about it.

They were using one of the AI models daily for things like: recipe ideas for food they had in the house, scheduling daily activities, bouncing ideas off for essays, and asking for gift ideas.

They understood it wasn't much good for facts, but liked the conversational interface as a way to give them ideas or jumping off points for things.
Of all the possible reasons to go to Mars, "economic opportunity" is not even remotely one of them.
