> The other 1% you die

Um... no one died. I understand your point is hyperbole, but you're deploying it in service to what you seem to claim is serious criticism coming from experts. Which experts are claiming FSD beta killed someone? They aren't. So... maybe the "experts" aren't saying what you think they're saying?

> Wanna hear about this new fangled tech that avoids 100% of accidents, has fully-coordinated swarm robotics between all the cars, never swerves and can operate in all weather + lighting conditions ? It's called a street car.

And this is just laughably wrong. Street cars (because they operate on streets) get into accidents every day, often with horrifying results (because they weigh 20+ tons). They are surely safer than routine passenger cars, but by the standards you set yourself they "aren't safe" and thus must be banned, right?
Generally speaking, yes: we don't remove things that aren't disproportionately burdensome. You can see that in the yearly analytics[1]: there are packages that only get a few dozen downloads a year, and we don't remove them because they don't cause any issues.

I've long been curious about understanding the processes involved in creating our processed food and just what sort of chemicals and treatments the raw material pass through to get to what we know and identify on the grocery shelves.
> That said, to not get the discounts (thus not sharing your information) is leaving money on the table.

Not if you shop at a reasonable store. And even if that's not an option, I don't consider it "leaving money on the table", I consider it "buying privacy".
Minneapolis has been a hotbed of stolen bikes for a few years now. I remember several friends getting their high end dirt bikes stolen in the 80's, only to show up in a Chicago police auction two years later.

There was an article in the local paper about bike thefts in 2019 and mentioned the Project 529 site which is one of the largest bike registries.

https://project529.com/garage/

From the 2019 article:

Bike theft is at a five-year high, and Police Department data obtained by the Star Tribune shows almost 4,300 bikes reported stolen since 2017.

The rash of thefts frustrates cyclists and police, who don’t always have time to track down stolen bikes amid other more serious calls. But for thieves, selling stolen bikes — some valued at more than $4,000 — can be a quick way to make hundreds of dollars.

https://www.startribune.com/bicycle-thefts-hit-five-year-hig...

I had no idea someone had started a Facebook group for stolen bikes called "Twin Cities Stolen Bikes" where people can go and report their bike and ask for help.
We won't. That's why nutrition epidemiology studies are so bad and mostly useless. It's ok to simply say "let's not do this study which we know won't add anything to our knowledge of how nutrition affects health outcomes in real people". See David Chapman for an entertaining review: https://metarationality.com/nutrition
It could also tie you to the scene of the crime if you're unlucky, so it depends if you're default paranoid or default trusting.
That’s neither here nor there. Legislation certainly can change the amount of guns available. Compare Canada or Australia which too had similar gun cultures prior to legislation.

Sure it doesn’t get rid of all guns. No one is claiming that it would but that’s an unreasonable bar that’s only set by critics. Even countries with strict gun control still have guns. However gun deaths are more rare because the penalty associated with even holding a gun illicitly are quite high, so in practice the number of guns floating around is lower and their use is really constrained (mainly because the cost of acquiring a gun is higher). Sure, the US has way more private gun ownership than other countries when they took steps towards effective legislation. It’ll take longer for any meaningful legislation to take effect, and only if it’s a national thing to mitigate cross-border transport. And SCOTUSes current ideological bent and strange 2nd amendment interpretation further complicates things at all levels. For what it’s worth the 2nd amendment seems to only ever have been interpreted about national regulations of formal state militias (eg the state’s National guard, police, etc). The reinterpretation in Heller to mean protection of private ownership is both recent (2008) and quite strange. A significantly worse decision than whatever Roe got wrong in legal theory and one that had strict social harm vs Roe which actually at least had positive social outcomes.
I hope Apple realizes that customization is a lot more important to their end users than they think, only reason I updated to iOS 16 was for the lockscreen fad
You can also rack mount "workstations" from HP and Dell.

The downside is that they are 4/5u. But they are a fucktonne quieter than server hardware.

The difficult part is getting the HDMI/DP extenders to work reliably or low latency enough without spending $2k.

Having said all that, Jeff's approach is most likley cheaper, if more fiddly. its certainly neater and more compact.
> To be fair, though, Tesla has no sensors other than cameras, and I believe the Mercedes has a half dozen or so, several radars and even a lidar.

This doesn't mitigate Tesla's gross ethical violations in letting this thing loose, it makes them worse. Tesla knew that cameras alone would be harder to make work than cameras plus radar plus lidar, and they shouldn't be lauded for attempting FSD with just cameras. It's an arbitrary constraint that they imposed on themselves that is putting people's lives in danger.

I see "Video unavailable" + "Comments are turned off"
writing, painting, etc, is not a business model. it is a creative act. sure, some do it for the money, some artists become successful and can live off their artwork.

but, unlike many other businesses. humanity needs creativity and art for its development as a society. AI created art is somehow part of that, but its domination prevents the development of art by actual humans.

it is not a question of what is better, but what is actually creative and furthers human development. AI created art is not that.
I regularly dislike decent content based on my idea of what youtube thinks of my recommendation preferences. It’s baffling how much I need to manually participate in their “engagement” metrics to be able to go to youtube.com without closing it shortly thereafter. And I wonder how much more echo chamber-y it is for less tech-savvy users who rarely touch these controls.

80% of regulars are not subscribed and don’t “like” videos according to content creators, that’s why they nag for “like, subscribe” five times per minute. Developers tend to think that bigcorps’ data analysis is at a rocket science level, when in reality it’s probably less efficient than SQL LIKE query could be on some `video.tags` field.

I'd say this is due to lack of competition and network effects than a good relationship. CuriosityStream, Nebula, and even channels as benign as Linus Tech Tips trying to get Floatplane off the ground show this relationship is far from strong. Your non-edgy creators wouldn't be trying to replace you if they thought you were doing a good job.
Can I get my dislike button back now? Youtube has been a significantly worse place since that.
I once showed up at an AirBnB condo and it had NO curtains, even though another building looked right into the bedroom. That also meant no curtains on the shower. I called AirBnB to complain and was told, well, did you see the pictures? And sure enough, the pics didn't show evidence of curtains. So no refund.

I now avoid AirBnB as much as possible, and when it's the only choice the amount of research I have to do is rage inducing. This is why brands exist, so you trust that every Marriott you stay at will have towels and curtains and all those other things, even if you don't see them in the pics. Meanwhile, the AirBnB brand is looking more and more like a lemon market for short-term rentals.
I had to flash the BIOS on a Gigabyte board to support the Ryzen I bought for it. It was a crazy procedure where the CPU and RAM couldn't be installed, and like others here the only USB drive I could get to work was an ancient 4GB USB 2.0 unit. Mine was an Angry Birds novelty drive, not something I wanted to trust a firmware update to.
Consider the possibility that you might both be right. Two people may have vastly different experiences with FSD, depending on the routes they take and other variables.
There likely isn't a good way to do this in a garage.

My guess at a possible approach would be to launch a cube sat using some sort of grant. Use high res thermal imaging from the satellite to detect missiles near their apex (unless you could somehow use starlink backscatter). Then use a series of ballons launched in such a way to maintain coverage near your area carrying high energy lasers (or maybe a maser) and their own thermal imaging to help calulate/triangulate for targeting.

Who know if that would work. Im completely makjng this up. That would probably be the cheapest way to do that since the image processing would be more accessible than quality radar and associated processing. You also wouldn't need extremely expensive missiles. The most difficult part would be ballon recovery to reuse the expensive equipment.
How about Tesla allow users in the beta for free then? Shouldn't the logic of waiting apply to Tesla, by charging for something that could save lives?
I'm curious; I know the Sun workstations were generally well-regarded, but what was it about the Sun-3 specifically, that made it such an important quantum jump?1
I use both, spotify for my main listening and yt music for mixes, live shows, and lots of content that plainly isn't on spotify.

Yt music also supports tapping the side of the screen to jump forwards or backwards in 10 second increments. Seems like a trivial feature, but holy shit I have needed it my entire life. The ability to both rapidly and finely adjust the time is huge when listing to things like live shows that are a 2 hour video.

Crazy but I don't think I have ever had a program or hardware player that could do both. Always either fast forward/rewind or trying to finely slide a slider.

I'm an estate sale hound too, but at some point somebody has to make/buy new stuff for people to buy at swap meets in 50 years. I'm wondering if it will be possible to buy affordable, non-trash-tier furniture in another 50 years? Presumably 80%+ of the antiques that exist now will still exist, but I'm guessing effectively none of the Ikea-grade (and crappier) stuff will.
Exactly.

I think a lot of "people" online are paid shills.

I have a Tesla with FSD and it's incredible. Though it drives way worse than me, it drives pretty darn good, and will save a ton of lives and change the world by freeing up a lot of time for people to do more important things.
You can thank the concerted media effort to paint Youtube as a host for terrorist propaganda for that. The adpocalypse changed the site permanently for the worse, and a lot of people seem to overlook that.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/ads-shown-isis...

this was a huge story overnight with tons of advertisers pulling out of youtube. the site became a lot more locked down after this and a few more advertiser threats in the following years.
I have FSD too, and my opinion is that although it takes unsafe actions almost on a daily basis, most of these errors are minor, easily rectified by me the driver, and most of the time it drives just fine, in fact better than a human driver. I witnessed FSD avoiding me a collision by responding faster than I could have by auto-braking when another driver ran a red light.

FSD doesn't need to be perfect to avoid accidents. In fact, if it was too perfect I'm afraid I could become very inattentive at the wheel.
I think OpenAI has done great work in advancing the field of AI and developing powerful tools like GPT-3. At the same time, I also believe that it's important to ensure that the development of AI systems is as inclusive and diverse as possible.

While OpenAI currently has a team of skilled engineers, I think it could benefit from hiring individuals with from different social classes and backgrounds (like blue collar workers, historians, anthropologists and artists) to contribute to the development of AI systems. This could help to create more well-rounded and effective AI solutions that consider a wider range of perspectives and potential impact on individuals and society.
I live in NL. I had many bikes stolen over the years.

Once my bike got stolen in the middle of the night in the city center. I searched for my bike the next day but could not find it. I reported it to the police, but did not expect much of it.

About a week later I received a phone call from the police telling me someone found my bike. Apparently this person was woken up in the middle of the night by someone trying to break open the bike lock under his bedroom window. He scared away the thief. Because the lock was damaged he put the bike in his shed. He put notes in mailboxes of all his neighbors to ask if someone was missing their bike. He got no response and thought: oh I might just tell the police; but I doubt it will help much.

Well it did! I was happy I reported it stolen that time.
So to your two parts.

1. If you would want independent message handlers, normally we'd just add functions off the state which would be called strait from the message handler's match statement. I.e. something like self.handle_msg_1(message, state, ...). We looked at having multiple handlers but you kind of either get into generic's hell or having to do some kind of ugly proc macro. We figured this left it up to the implementor on how you want to handle it

2. Sequential processing would really be a factory. That would do parallel work of jobs using a basic actor implementation while handling concurrent work limits, job routing, etc. Otherwise you could always spawn inside your actor and like a wait on multiple handles if you wanted, but that gets messy and kind of diverges from the true intent. There is a factory implementation in the base ractor lib, feel free to take a look!
Just been scratching my head about this. Then I thought, is it just so they can detect authentic Apple cables and scold you for using an inauthentic one? Because iOS definitely does that. Some kind of challenge/response thing that requires a full Turing machine maybe.

Another thought was something to do with monitoring current or degradation but I cant see why they couldn’t do the same things from either the computer in the power adaptor or the computer in the actual computer.
You can believe whatever you want. The reality is that FSD Beta is unsafe and makes the dumbest decisions. Every update I give it a try to see if anything has improved, and usually within the first 30 seconds, I end up turning it off.

Autopilot on Freeways works ok for the most part though.
>I saw that rack mount makes things cost significantly more.

there's a logical reason for this though. it's a pretty safe assumption that you're in a larger facility if you're rack mounting. a lot of rack mount chasis come with features like dual PSUs and other redundant features. redundancy does cost.

>put a rack in the basement or a utlity room

They make enclosures[0] that are smaller than a full rack, but allow for rack mounting equipment. you can then just shove this enclosure on a shelf or wherever. much more convenient than a full on server rack.

Australian here. We drive on the "wrong" side of the road. I have no idea if FSD even accommodates this different scenario. And if it did, and being from Melbourne, having diabolical yet somewhat logical hook turns (turning from the furthest left lane to turn right) I will bet would not even fall in FSD scope.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_turn?wprov=sfla1
Only a horse can do that.
True.

We should stop repeating the marketing speech. It's getting tiresome.
There is no such evidence beyond unsupported proclamations by the vendor who, by the way, has compulsively misrepresented the capabilities of the product for years. The only evidence available that is not completely tainted by a complete conflict of interest is basically Youtube videos and self reported information [1] by investors and super fans that on average show critical driving errors every few minutes and even those are tainted by self interest to over-represent the product.

Tesla’s statements should only be believed if they stop deliberately hiding the data from the CA DMV by declaring that FSD does not technically count as a autonomous driving system and is thus not subject to the mandatory reporting requirements for autonomous systems in development. If they did that then there could actually be a sound independent third party statements about their systems. Until that time their claims should be as trusted as Ford’s were on the Pinto.

You are correct, by now there are some standards. But look at the clusterfuck that the current digitization initiative is: for each service to be offered, a different municipality is responsible. Instead of all municipalities funding a common shared institution. We’re seeing entirely predictable results. :sigh:
I have a Tesla and have tried FSD several times (month-to-month plan and loaner cars from Tesla). It's comically bad. Fortunately every time I tried it I was paying very close attention so I stopped it from braking at green lights, trying to turn right from a middle lane, halfway lane changes where it snaps back to the original lane unexpectedly, etc.

The regular, included autopilot works pretty well as a smarter cruise control; as long as you use it on a major highway in the daytime in good conditions it does a good job. And it's very useful in stop-and-go traffic on the highway.

But the FSD is crap.

I think what I’m saying is that that seems problematic (and I think the things we’ve seen from ChatGPT and Bing just emphasize this).

From chatting with these models, orders of magnitude better ‘understanding’* seems necessary before they’ll be able to actually reliably follow these ‘prompts’ during end-user conversations of the kind we’re expecting them to.

The prompts just can’t be precise enough, and the models can’t ‘understand’ them enough to extrapolate ‘spirit’ of the prompts as a human would (although, to be honest, I’m not sure a human could either because of the preciseness problem…).

This feels like a fundamental issue to me.

Just off the top of my head:

- A Tesla near that drive into the median divider near Sunnyvale on Highway 101, because it thought the gore point was an extra lane. Split the car in half and killed the driver. [1]

- A Tesla that autonomously ran a red light and killed two people. [2]

- Multiple accidents where Teslas have driven into parked emergency vehicles / semi trucks.

Is it quantitatively safer than human drivers? I don't have that data to say one way or the other. But it's not correct to say the Bay Bridge is the only at fault accident attributable to autopilot.

You can re-take control, which may take seconds depending on the mental and physical state of the driver. A lot can happen in a second.

In 1997 I attended an entrepreneur presentation about a newly patented technology where modulated headlights were a safety feature [0]. The inventor was an aging engineer and noticed he had a hard time seeing the road surface at night. Apparently a good fraction of the driving public, especially older people, have lost the ability to see the road surface well in the dark. He read about the scanning effects when a scene is illuminated from side to side, which interacts with the human visual system and makes the surface of the road rather more visible. He built a simple system to modulate his headlights side to side. He even took some people for a ride that night to demonstrate the effect. (I didn't go.) It seemed like a potentially great idea, and I would ping the inventor from time to time about his progress in getting his "Winkers" into production. He never seemed to be very focused on his invention, and finally explained he was busy "sending a letter to every member of Congress about the AIDS hoax"[1]. I didn't contact him after that...
