Your Tesla tells you you're a safe driver. Well, geez, I'm convinced that the $55,000 (maybe+?) you spent tells you things you like to hear. I mean, one of the criteria is "Late Night Driving". Why not driving between the hours of 4pm and 6pm? When there are a lot more cars on the road, which is just statistically less safe.

https://www.tesla.com/support/safety-score#version-1.2

And looking at the rest of the criteria, they're ok, but hardly comprehensive. This is like, the bare minimum. It doesn't measure what I would call "doing stupid shit". Like crossing several lanes of traffic to get in a turn lane. Forcibly merging where you shouldn't. Nearly stopping in the middle of traffic before merging into a turn lane at the last minute. Straddling lanes because you're not sure if you really want to change lanes or not. Making a left turn from a major artery onto a side street at a place that is not protected by a light. Coming to a near complete stop for every speed bump, then rushing ahead to the next.

And a host of other things that demonstrates the person does not consider other people on the road at all.

Here's an entire article about how to game the safety score:

https://cleantechnica.com/2021/10/14/three-quick-tips-for-a-...

One of the tips is to "drive around the neighborhood when traffic is light".

And the car doesn't ding autopilot for behaviors it would knock a human for. Because the assumption is that the car would know better I guess. But then why isn't the safety score simply a deviation from what autopilot would do in a situation? If autopilot would brake hard to avoid a collision, shouldn't you?

Ron Paul was right
An interesting bit (to me) on iPhone updates vs. iPad updates. I wonder why?

"…iOS 15 was installed on 72% of all iOS devices introduced in the last four years when Apple revealed the data for the first time last year. This means that iOS 16 adoption is outpacing iOS 15 adoption."

"On the iPad side of things, however, iPadOS 16 lags behind iPadOS 15 by around 7% for usage on devices introduced in the last four years. One thing to note: iPadOS 16 was released a month later than iPadOS 15."
City Tavern in Philadelphia serves food made from 18th century recipes, using the tools available at that time. The prices are in line with typical casual dining (Applebees for example).
It's fun if you are in the area but some recipes have improved in the meantime. IMHO, creme brulee benefitted from the appropriation of the butane torch (I think City Tavern uses an iron).
The first time you personally get an effective marketing email it all starts to click - I suspect that you and I have had similar experiences in that we arent really the demographic those emails are trying to reach and that we only bought a product as the most expedient way to fill a need. Thus all further communication becomes an irritant.

But for me the aha moment was getting an email from a restaurant supply store where I was genuinely interested in the range of goods they were advertising (hell yes I would like more information on a cotton candy machine!).

The point here being that your own personal interaction with it might not generalize well - it alienates you, but maybe you arent really their customer anyway? Their might well be people that appreciate those emails.
I actually didn't know about n.out before. It wasn't mentioned in the v1 manual so they must have gotten rid of it by then. However it seems that it is just a symbol table that's generated by the assembler. B code is eventually also passed to the assembler so it would just contain whatever symbols were in the assembly i suppose.
> For employees a long notice period to leave could mean not being able to take a great opportunity that comes along because it won't be available long enough.

I think if you actually look into it, you'll find that this is not the case. In countries where long notice periods are the norm, either by law or just general culture, an employer tends to be more than willing to wait for a candidate.

I'm on M2 MB Air, and it seems odd to me that it (seems to) runs off battery even when plugged in and fully charged. Mine has been plugged in at desk for over a week, every day when I get on it says it's "Power Source: Power Adapter" yet it battery charging goes "On Hold" and dwindles as if it's running off battery all day. For example, it's mid-day for me and I'm at 79% but it's never been unplugged.

My last was a MB Air 2013 so maybe this is new behavior that I'm just not used to, but it seems strange. If I had to unplug and leave, I'd expect to be leaving with 100% charge.

Edit: "Optimized Battery Charging" was turned on as commenter mentioned, thanks for the tech support HN!
>I still can't believe FSD Beta was allowed on public roads.

Fault, distracted, intoxicated human beings are allowed on public roads. The "legal limits" for blood alcohol levels aren't 0.00%.
I mean bing has nothing to lose, its already crap in the public view.
And the public is extremely excited about AI, so its all a positive in Microsoft's book and its refreshing to see them quickly acknowledge these issues instead of just dismissing them.
What, you think people should be able to breathe for free?
If they accepted a software update, I would assume it would be about things that are deliberately programmed in, rather than just fundamental limitations? But I agree it's a bit odd. The longer description says

> The FSD Beta system may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution. In addition, the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver's adjustment of the vehicle's speed to exceed posted speed limit. [https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2020/TESLA/MODEL%252520Y/SUV/A...]

"entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop" sounds a lot like the thing they already issued a recall over in Janary 2020 (further down the same web page), so it seems a bit odd that it would still be an issue. And "due caution" to yellow lights seems like it could just be tuning some parameter. On the other hand, failing to recognize turn-only lanes sounds more like a failure of the computer vision system...
I was curious what the physical connector looks like and I found:

You are meant to maintain control of the vehicle at all times with the beta.

That’s the only way it could be released in its current state.

Looking at it as anything other than a beta where you have to maintain control is misunderstanding what it is. Which you are clearly doing. It is absolutely expected to be worse than a drunk teenager in this stage.
Just discovered something very interesting: She is resigning one day after Google received a subpoena from the U.S. House of Representatives demanding answers to questions on censorship of conservative voices, and specifically on content moderation decisions.

Yes, just yesterday. Subpoena to resignation.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-republicans-subpoena...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/15/house-r...

https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3859762-house-gop-subp...

That's actually a really bad look (pro PR tip: Don't resign immediately after bad press - delay your resignation to avoid association if possible - or, if you know a certain political group doesn't like you and you're planning to retire, maybe resign before they get into power). Particularly important because Twitter is all over that "connection" right now that was pretty unnecessary. It appears that the subpoena was directed at Google, but her resignation means she may not have to personally have to personally testify, as Google could send the new CEO in.
I need to figure this out sir.
> I've had a couple of jobs doing Clojure full-time, the problem is that Java jobs pay better.

That sounded to me as if someone said: "I had gigs working as a crane operator, the problem is that working as a bricklayer pays better..."

Not only your statement is wrong, typically Clojure devs get paid more, but you're also missing the fact that these aren't comparable trades, on many facets.

"This study investigated the driving characteristics of drivers when the system changes from autonomous driving to manual driving in the case of low driver alertness.

...

In the results, a significant difference was observed in the reaction time and the brake pedal force for brake pedal operation in the low alertness state, compared to the normal alertness state of the driver, and there were instances when the driver was unable to perform an adequate avoidance operation."
Very much this.

One interesting thing about going the rack route is that most of the hardware optimizes for considerations a data center/large corporation might have.

That can be nice in a lot of ways (hardware is fairly robust, layouts are usually friendly for quick access/maintenance, overall density of machines is pretty good).

But it means almost no one is paying attention to how much noise these things make, because for most of the target audience that's WAY down the list of things they care about.

I have a couple of - not elderly but not new - 1u and 2u machines, and they are LOUD AS FUCK. I used to run my server farm in my office when it was just spare personal computers (under the table I use for hobby projects), but I quickly ended up moving it down the basement when running the rack machines.

They're just too loud for comfort on a semi-regular basis.
Yeah I don't understand the "legitimate" use case. I would imagine people who actually shell out the money get their car onto the interstate then strap a weight to the steering wheel until their exit comes up. Having to watch the road without the stimulation of actively driving is worse than having no assistance at all.
It is very easy to sue for libel in the UK compared to the US and many other countries. An outstanding case is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLibel_case

Currently the leader of the Wagner mercenary group is trying to use UK’s libel law against critics. I have no idea how serious the person was but I had a UK National threaten to sue me for libel over the content of a web site. There has been talk for a long time about reforming those laws.

(Funny Keir Starmer, the current head of the labor party, represented the McLibel defendants. McDonalds went on become a leader in ESG because this case involved carefully documenting many claims the defendants made, some of which were wrong and which were right. That got McDonalds thinking about documenting their impact better.)
I want to offer my perspective, as a former physician-in-training. I left US medical school immediately after my Emergency Medicine Clinicals... well over a decade ago (pre-Obamacare):

You simply cannot pay a US-trained physician enough money for the extensive sacrifices required just to prescribe you Scheduled drugs...

If you want to make money &/or "help people" &/or be respected: there are millions of alternative careerpaths with much simpler accreditation.
How about all the hosts that think I should pay insane cleaning fees and then ask me to clean up? I'm not doing sweeping, loading a dishwasher, or taking out your trash. I'll never trust AirBNB again and I used to be an avid supporter when I was travelling 1-2 times a week.

The last straw for me was when the host refused to communicate for for 5K stay during XMAS in NYC. It took 2 days of hounding AirBNB and them also not being able to communicate with host. I also had to point out that address in question was a commercial building with no apartments in it. They went out of their way to steal my money. Finally my wife ended up getting someone who cared and when she rattled off the company values aka empathy, it changed the entire conversation and we finally got a refund. I can't and won't do that again so hotels is where it's at for me moving forward.
> One can kill people the other not.

No, that's not correct. Whether it can kill people or not is orthogonal to whether it's a true physical recall of the car or a software update.
Devices and Transistors for the Next 75 Years
This seems overly cynical. You’re taught as a freshman science student that a research paper should describe its own deficiencies and point to next steps. It’s a pretty basic part of writing about research.
I saw a decent bike a while back that had had newspaper glued all over the frame.

Yep, I used to be in this field back in 2018, and everyone was extremely dismissive of the rest of the industries skepticism
Howdy friend! I've loved following your progress with these posts over the years :)

Ansible is definitely more ergonomic than Debian packaging still. I hope someday we get a better pipline for deb/pkg that's closer to yaml/declarative-style config that Ansible offers. Despite packaging for deb for 3 years now I still have no clue how to do it by memory, I have to check my own docs every time.
It also does not know what one way street, do not enter, road closed, and speed limit signs are. Really, the only signs it appears to know about are stop signs.

As for their QA process, in 2018 they had a braking distance problem on the Model 3. They learned of it, implemented a change that alters the safety critical operation of the brakes, then pushed it to production to all Model 3s without doing any rollout testing in less than a week [1]. So, their QA process is probably: compiles, run a few times on the nearby streets (I am pretty sure they do not own a test track as I have never seen a picture of tricked out Teslas doing testing runs at any of their facilities), ship it.

Can we, today, be sure that ATMs do not record serial numbers of the bank notes they dispense?
When I was younger employers paid friends of me to get SAP certified and start working on SAP projects (as a side gig) even before they had their bachelor degree. And the pay was outrageous, they made twice as much per hour as me handling Linux servers.

If it's still like that and the job opening does not require a certification, you may apply with minimal prerequisites and still land an interview.
A lot of car owners don't have reliable internet at home and live outside of cell tower coverage (mountainous areas, especially).

Statistically these are not likely to be Tesla owners, but it's about making sure people know about the issue and how to fix it.
That's a great point about a second-hand UPS. My mind has been tainted by all the non-removable batteries inside consumer products so I completely forgot that a worn-out battery on an old UPS is easy to replace.

On iOS you get asked the first time an app tries to show you notifications and it's very easy to disable them after the fact too. Since PWAs are just apps you add to your homescreen nothing will change in this regard.

As an aside, how would a notification steal your info?
> I might chuckle at its replies but that's about it. Does HN really think this is the start of AI taking over?

You are asking HN to update your priors for you regarding LLMs because you sense a disjunct in your figurative training set and in-group norms.

Beyond this, human consciousness, ignoring all the hand-waving dogma of executive function, is indistinguishable from a LLM except that the former is iterative and the other is ergodic. You choose a single utterance for a point of being in time; it can choose every utterance for a single point of being in time. If we could save you as a point in time and reload you infinitely and provide different prompts, we'd be able to say with certitude that you were merely nothing but a reactive process as well--and they might not be wrong.

In short: don't think of a pink elephant. If you just thought of a pink elephant, you just proved that you engage in automatic "cognition" commensurate with any prompt injection attack.
Do you have actual knowlage of Tesla internal QA processes, any kind of source at all?

Based on there presentation, they for sure have a whole load of tests, many built directly from real world situation that the car has to handle. They simulate sensor input based on the simulation and check the car does the right thing.

They very likely have some internal test drivers and before the software goes public it goes to the cars of the engineers.

Those are just some of things we know about.

I have no source on their approach to testing safety critical systems, but we do know that they have a lot of software that has based all test by all the major governments. They are one of the few (or only) car maker fully compliant to a number of standards on automated breaking in the US. We have many real world example of videos where other cars would have killed somebody and the Tesla stopped based on image recognition.

So they do clearly have some idea of how to do this stuff.

So when making these claims I would like to know what they are based on. It might very well be true that their processes are insufficient but I would actual know some real data. Part of what a government could do, is forcing car maker to open their QA processes.

Or the government could (should) have its own open test suit that a car needs to be able to handle, but clearly we are not there yet.
The settlement communication log will be just a series of "I need people to be even more hardcore" declarations coupled with lists of people thrown out of airlocks.
I think relative prices can answer a lot of your second paragraph. Air travel is relatively cheaper than it used to be in a lot of ways. It certainly isn't cheap today, but the middle class can do it sometimes. When I was young, it was an extravagance, especially to go to Europe.

Also, if you were in the US in the 1960s, I can well understand why "eating in any restaurant you wanted" would not necessarily have appealed much... the food of the era was... adequate.

I think the experiences were not as readily available versus the stuff as you may be thinking. To the extent that they were available, they were taken. Piling your family into the station wagon and driving around for three weeks used to be a lot more common, I think. But that's not "an extravagent European vacation". The relative prices of things have changed a lot in the past century.

(And to be clear, I mean, relative to each other, e.g., "how many years in college is a trip to Europe", not in absolute inflation terms. A thing that has gone up a bit faster than inflation is still relatively cheaper than a thing that has gone up way faster than inflation.)
You have never tried FSD.

You may have tried FSD beta. Different things entirely.
> Keep that awful "at will employment" to your side of the pond, thank you.

The UK has zero-hour contracts, which I think is in the same spirit.

It won't surprise me if other European countries either already have or will soon have similar arrangements. It's a sad reality, honestly.
Not sure if it's the latest, and nowadays I rarely use it, and when I do it's just to show off to curious friends, but I live in an east coast metro and I've never been able to use FSD for more than 20 minutes without it making a dangerous mistake - 90% of the time it's been a mistake making a left turn, turning into the wrong lane or oncoming traffic after making the left, not correctly respecting the traffic lines or the left turn lights and other very scary situations.
Thanks to the Tesla owners on the front lines risking their lives for the greater good (of Tesla)!

Jokes aside, it's gotta be damn tough to QA a system like this in any sort of way that resembles full coverage. Can't even really define what full test coverage means.
Now do American cities
Almost certainly; I still have CC on a ticket from a few years ago that one of the literal steps in the reference manual (teaching --switch-profile) was extremely misleading, didn't work, and actively broke your ability to continue working on nix.

The ticket was closed because the man-page has a technical description of what the command actually does, and people should just know how the command is supposed to work, even if the reference manual tells them otherwise.

Beginner-hostility appears to be baked into the ecosystem.
If this comment were aimed at any other company it would be flagged and dead as flamebait.
It's interesting timing but she will still have to testify about all the time she was in charge, resigning doesn't really change anything.
that's hilarious. it's essentially a physical vlan. it could be of use for anything that doesn't support vlans directly, and it'd be a lot cheaper than running a switch to do the tagging/untagging.
Single Pair Ethernet: The End of the Industrial RJ45?
FWIW I think there are more or less two very distinct experiences/use cycles of YouTube. There is the one where people get to it from outside (mostly Google Search) and the one where people get to it from within YouTube itself. As someone who falls into the casual Google search category the latter class of serious YouTube user is just alien to me. The 2018 Rewind video was pretty bonkers stupid to me, but, to me, it also looks more or less the same as the 2017 rewind video. How you feel about YouTube is probably a function of how you use it.

I wouldn't mind so much if they also gave it to me. But my grocery points card sells my shopping list to everyone else BUT me. I've looked, and PC Optimum doesn't provide line items back to the consumer.

What's the best guess as to how many people are stealing 25,000 bikes?

100? Only takes that many to wreck society?

I mean once someone learns they are successful at stealing one without repercussions and reselling it, why would they stop and not turn it into a living?

Now do a study on that somehow because I am really curious if it is 100 or 1,000
My ASUS motherboard has a SPI header for BIOS flashing if need be, and I suspect other motherboards do as well.
There’s a huge caveat here: it only works for webapps you’ve installed to your Home Screen, which is a Byzantine process few work out organically.

It’s progress, I’m happy to see it, but Apple are still behind the curve here. It should be much, much simpler to install an app to the Home Screen when huge features like this are locked behind the gate.

I have a Model 3, and was excited to get the FSD beta access about a month ago. I don't use it super regularly, but it's neat.

This morning I tried to turn it on, and the car immediately veered left into the oncoming lane on a straight, 2 lane road. Fortunately, there were no other vehicles nearby.

I immediately turned it off in the settings, and have no intention of re-enabling.
