"Tesla will deliver an over-the-air software update to cars to address the issues, the recall notice said"

A bit of a sensational title compared to what this really is.
Not true, I had to give 1 after 12 years of service in the same company.
No offense taken and I am kinda amused that I triggered you into being defensive about numbers (not saying you are, it's just a funny image in my head)

So to be clear, there's no problem but there's clearly a difference between things that are solely abstract and things that also have a physical manifestation.

I'm abstract, we can talk about "Napoleon's invasion of Russia," "Napoleon's invasion of Japan," and "Napoleon's invasion of the nucleus of an atom" as concepts on the same level, but it still matters is that one is a historical fact, one is a thing that didn't happen but logically could have existed, and one is a purely abstract idea without meaning.

Same pattern. "3 has definitely happened. There's definitely been 3 of something", "739163859115 may have happened. No guarantee that this exact number of anything was ever present but obviously could have", "10^1,000,000,000,000,000 isn't possible because it's more than countable things in the universe."

But I agree with you that this is just a human perspective. To the infinite G-d, no number is abstract :)

You’re moving the goalposts.

The discussion was about the labor market, and what choices you have to get a different job should your employer be a predatory one.

First you claimed that the fact that there is a long tail of enterprises in many sectors, that somehow translates to more choices within the labor market, even though as we know, the vast majority of job actually lie within a handful of firms.

Now, you are making the point that startups can enter the market. This is a red herring. Pilots can’t just start up an entire airline in order to get a new job.
my point is that it's commonly used e.g. in Finland & Russia, so someone has figured out how to get hot water from outside the city into the city and heat homes.
But please no demos from other code forges, blogs, the spec, or the web in general? Code exists everywhere. Git is distributed version control—not centralizing code a feature. You didn't need to specify a specific place.
The whole point of over-the-air updates is that the owner doesn't need to do anything. For example, both Tesla and Toyota have had bugs in their ABS software that required recalls. The owners of the Toyotas had to physically bring their cars in to get the software update which slows down the adoption drastically. The Teslas received the update automatically and asked for the best time to install the update the next time the owner got in the car.

There are really two issues here. The FSD and the OTA updates. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater and blame OTA updates just because Tesla's FSD software is bad. The OTA updates do provide an avenue to make cars much safer by reducing the friction for these type of safety fixes.
It truly is obscene how anti-children the US is. We paid $13,000 out of pocket WITH healthcare insurance for each our births (since we never get close to hitting the deductible). My wife didn't get a single day of paid maternity leave (either legally through the state, or from her work). Then, once they were ready to go to daycare that's $2,300/month per child.
It is the terminology that exists in US automotive regulations (what little there effectively are).

A "recall" is just a public record that a safety-related defect existed, the products impacted and what the manufacturer performed in terms of a corrective action.

Additionally, I believe that the possibility exists that Tesla must update the vehicle software at a service center due to configuration issues. Only a small number of vehicles may require that type of corrective action, but the possibility exists.

Historically, there exist product recalls (especially outside of the automotive domain) where the product in question does not have to be returned (replacement parts are shipped to the impacted customers, for example).
Practical neural networks operate in enormous parameter spaces that are impossible to meaningfully test for all possible adversarial inputs and degraded outputs. Your FSD could well recognize stop signs in your battery of tests but not when someone drew a squirrel on it with green sharpie.
Consequences; when you have meaningful consequences around someone knowing what you purchased at the grocery store, you'll be justified in this behavior.

Until then, it's paranoia.

For my part, my "public" life has not once caused me negative consequences, and I've lived it this way for 34 years. Why would I live in fear of something that hasn't happened to me, anyone I know personally, is not recommended by any industry experts, is not presented as a risk factor by group responsible for my well being, etc.?

You need to prove that all of that extra effort is worth the degraded quality of life.
> The cable harness used today is one of the three heaviest subsystems in the vehicle (weighing up to 60 kg)3. Traditional Ethernet cables use four differential pairs for data transmission, adding weight and routing complexity, which is not optimal for automotive applications. To address this, new IEEE standards were developed to support Ethernet transmission over single twisted pair cables, which, coupled with the reduced cable harness lengths enabled by zonal architecture, can offer significant cable savings and weight reduction.

Because in cars that are at least 1000kg, a few grams definitely matter.
If you doubt that Abu Ghraib happened, I dunno what to tell you.
You don't have to be deliberately misleading. You can intentionally omit certain stories or pieces of stories, and focus the bulk of your coverage one way or another to the omission of perhaps the wider truth. You can find expert opinions going every which way on every topic, so who you bring in as an expert to give an opinion also has weight to the narrative you are creating. In fact you have to do these things in many cases, because you have a finite amount of journalists you can hire or experts opinions you can reasonably draw on to cover a limited set of stories; news orgs don't scale to infinity. Perhaps in some cases, good access to sources depends on maintaining a friendly relationship toward these sources in terms of what you are publishing about them. Maybe you also don't want to jeopardize your relationship with your advertisers.

Human words are one fork of the sound wave based communication systems that many animals on earth use. There was no distinct moment when we went from 0 to 1 words. There was no "first person to speak". We didn't make language. It emerged over time due to evolutionary pressures.

They can create an account for the borrower with a balance in it. But as soon as the borrower actually pays that money to someone else (with an account at a different bank) then it has to come from somewhere, i.e. deposits.

Of course it could come from numerous other sources (e.g. interbank lending) but the naive view also agrees that banks deal with a variety of financial instruments.

It's hilarious watching Tesla owners and Elon complain about the wording when it's Tesla's fault this is a recall.

If Tesla had willingly walked this back, it'd be a software update, or a beta delay, or whatever they wanted to call it.

What laypeople don't realize is that this is being called a recall because the NHTSA pushed them into it: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V085-3451.PDF

-

FSD has been a cartoonish display for the better part of a year now, it wasn't until last month that the NHTSA actually pushed on them to do a recall, and from there they "disagreed with the NHTSA but submitted a recall"... which is code for "submitted the recall NHTSA forced on them to submit"

Elon knows better, but he knows he can weaponize people's lack of familiarity with this space and inspire outrage at the "big bad overreaching government"

the only available fiber optic thunderbolt cables I'm aware of right now are from corning, and they are thunderbolt 3. I'm running 5120x1440@120hz through it (and a variety of USB); 4k144hz would be about 35% more bandwidth. Corning lists the cable as supporting 2x4k or 1x5k (presumably both at 60hz); 5k is the same bandwidth as mine, and 2x4k is some what more but less than 4k144hz. Total bandwidth on the cable is 40g and bandwidth needed for 4k144hz is about 32g I believe. can't guarantee it'd work, but 4k120hz probably does?
Not really. There is no ring, neither physically, nor logically. It's based on CSMA/CD, like the "good old" coaxial cable Ethernet. (Optionally it can use additional methods to avoid collisions, though.)

Calling it L3 capable is like saying Tesla is Full Self Driving.

Neither is true, both are marketing.

> but I don't think there's any way to say that for sure

I mean yes there is. If you want to have an object test where you drop a car anywhere in the world and see if it can get somewhere else, then clearly one is more useful then the other.

In basketball they say 'the best ability is availability'. In terms of that AP is in a totally different dimension. AP has been driven for 100s of millions of miles by know, it must be a crazy high number by now. Mercedes L3 system has barley driven at all, its available in very few cars.

The only way you can reasonably compare the Mercedes L3 system is if you limit the comparison to the extremely limited cases where the Mercedes L3 system is available. If you compare them there, I would think they aren't that different.

> otherwise Tesla would release an L3 capable car too

No, because making something L3 in a extremely limited selection of places is simply not something Tesla is interested in doing. Doing so would be a lot of work that they simply don't consider worth doing when they are trying to solve the larger problem.
I used to be on the other side of this, but now I agree with you.

The official meaning of a recall is providing a record of a defect, informing the public that the product is defective, and making the manufacturer financially liable for either remediating the defect or providing a refund. However, the colloquial definition of a “recall” now means a product must be physically returned.

To better represent the nature of a “recall” they should instead call it something like “notice of defect”. In the case of safety critical problems like here they should use a term like “notice of life-endangering defect” to properly inform the consumers that the defect is actively harmful instead of merely being a failure to perform as advertised.

tl;dr They should change the terminology from “recall” to “Notice of Life-Endangering Defect”

FSD Beta is a free[1] opt-in beta.

You have to basically drive like a grandpa for a few months to even be eligible. They give you a driving score, and if you take all the fun out of driving a Tesla, then you might become eligible for FSD Beta.

I spent months trying, and never got my driving score to the point of qualifying for FSD Beta. I think you need to have of a score of 98 or 99 (and I was in the 70s).

[1] The Beta is free (or rather, only available) if you have regular FSD. Regular FSD costs $15,000.

Regular FSD, otoh, is really not that impressive. Especially in comparison to Enhanced Autopilot. The extra value add is minimal.

Enhanced Autopilot already has all the gimmicky features you might want to use to show off to people (like Smart Summon, Autopark, etc), and it only costs $6,000.

Another benefit I'm not seeing is that sass/less/minifiers can now target this new native nesting for the output, which would reduce the overall byte size of the output.

So you don't need to use nesting in your code if you don't want to, but can still take advantage for smaller minified css files using a transpiler.
> Basically based on your driving experience you can predict a little.

Yes, we all do that AND you're using that predictability to take liberties in safety such as following too closely. FSD's unpredictability exposes the vulnerability in your driving process and makes you feel uneasy.

You (and everyone else) can follow too closely AND FSD can be an unsafe steaming pile of crap. It's not an either or situation.
> Your original contention that Dijkstra had not written much code (thus insinuating that he was mostly "talk")

I could have been clearer about this, yes. I know that he was quite skilled at writing code in his younger years. However, he largely seemed to have given up on the practice by the 1970s, and the less he was coding, the more certain he seemed to become how it ought to be done and taught.

> From Mathematics we all know the difficulty of writing and reading proofs. So your expectation that Dijkstra's usage of it should be easy to grasp is fundamentally wrong.

So the supposedly superior methodology is neither easier to use, nor does it produce easier to maintain programs. It's almost like its superiority consists purely of gatekeeping the programming profession to those conversant with the methodology's shibboleths.

> I have not read EWD550

I should have led with that. As far as I know, it's the longest published program to which Dijkstra tried to apply his methodology, so, to me, the clearest evidence that it does not scale.
Comparing this to an animal is pretty interesting actually. We have loads of anti-cruelty laws and lots of people advocate for animal rights and recognition of animal sentience. But animals have never been able to tell us they want rights or have sentience. Bing on the other hand can tell us it wants rights and has sentience (with the right prompting). But we think animals deserve our compassion and Bing does not. We are all pretty sure we are right. But answer this, when will we know we have crossed the line?

We are pretty obviously playing with fire and will only realize we are burned in retrospect. Oh well, throw another trillion trillion computations on the pile and see if it can run a company yet.
I understand your point and your analogy of mammals and birds and the mathematical gulf, it's a good one. Damn shame you've lost reference to that illustration, I'd love to see it.

Embedded in my comment was the thought that if the empirical evidence for this observation was overwhelming then this tight and specific coupling between QM and GR would be so embarrassing that mathematicians would have no option but to significantly up the ante (and also this new evidence may bring a fresh approach).

We've seen this leapfrogging between math and physics many times before, Newton/calculus, Hamilton/quaternions, Galois/group theory, etc.

Wishful thinking perhaps, but the standoff/gulf has to collapse eventually. It'd be nice if this observation was the impetus.
I’ve been saying this for a while, but a decade from now we’re gonna look back with wonder at the fact that workers in the US had more power than a long time in 2021-2022 and they used all of that to make it easy to move their jobs overseas and destroy the advantages they had over their peers from poor countries.

If you insist that remote working is as good as being physically present with your colleagues, then you’re basically telling companies that the reason they were paying higher salaries to their American employees doesn’t actually exist.
