Do you have evidence for "clearly more dangerous"? Because what numbers exist say the opposite. They are now pushing a million (!) of these vehicles on US roads and to my knowledge the bay bridge accident[1] is the only example of a significant at fault accident involving the technology.

It's very easy to make pronouncements like "one accident is too many", but we all know that's not correct in context. Right? If FSD beta is safer than a human driver it should be encouraged even if not perfect. So... where's the evidence that it's actually less safe? Because no one has it.

[1] Which I continue to insist looks a lot more like "confused driver disengaged and stopped" (a routine accident) than "FSD made a wild lane change" (that's not its behavior). Just wait. It took a year before that "autopilot out of control" accident was shown (last week) to be a false report. This will probably be similar.
A monthly question, I think.

Yes you are correct that lying and cheating does have a long history
You laugh about this, but - a story from my younger years that people call bullshit on all the time:

I worked for a (now out of business) retailer. They collected zip codes from folks who didn't have their version of a loyalty card. They used this data to inform automatic shipments of seasonal and/or regional merchandise. They were usually pretty good at hitting just in time sales for annual festivals, fairs, those sorts of things.

One year, we received surf boards, shorts, and skin-care products for sun exposure in January. In Iowa. In January. It turned out that our "privacy minded" (read: militia lite) area had stuffed that system so full of 90210 zip code that the automatic routing and warehouse system was sending us the merchandise for southern California.

It was amazing. And so, so stupid. (they're out of business for many reasons, executive level stupidity being the leading one)
I would like to post something substantial or whatever but how can you add anything to that...?

Mind blown.
I remember my co-worker at the bike shop talking about this and how people in the area will sand their frames down and remove labels and anything else that would give their bike a look and feel of being expensive. Even adding duct and black electrical tape to ward off thieves from going after their bikes.
The scores are computed as degree of difficulty x judge's rating. So the higher up, the more moves can be fit into a ~3s fall. So there's a lot of zero sum thinking there: do you do one medium-hard thing very well, one hard thing mediocre, or three things strung together? That's a little of the appeal for me.

Also, I did a little 10m which is just a taste of this.
There’s no way to directly update the cable, but it should update automatically when plugged into your Mac. While you can check the firmware of your power adapter by attaching it to your Mac and clicking on the Apple logo in the top left corner of the menu bar, then About This Mac, System Report, and Power, it’s not clear how to check the specific firmware version of the cable.

So presumably there is some UART to the cable, and the cable to the power adapter. Is it all stuffed in the cable treated as a USB device or is there some proprietary control on the laptop side to communicate with the cable?
Yes, during the cold war. When there were no rules and 2 countries did whatever they could to counter the other.

What is your evidence such a system exists today?
You can compare quantities geometrically: draw a line expressing incoming shipments and under it a line expressing outgoing shipments. You can also replace counting with an imperative drawing process, there's real imperative counting method using the 正 character, it has five strokes, they are drawn one by one until the character is complete, then next character is drawn.
You probably still want to at least look at the research yourself, trusting other "off-hand" comments is, uh, ironically, akin to the moral from the "off-hand" parent comment in this case
That other drivers are beta testers for software controlling a large mass of metal and combustibles hurtling down asphalt at _ludicrous_ speeds is something you'd write into a dystopia story.

The fact of the fiction is terrifying.
What seems to be tripping it up here is the concept that names are not usually unique... there are usually many people with the same name. It has no understanding of that, even though their biographies (which it cited) indicate vastly different and incompatible paths in life, chronologically-speaking. So it leapt to the conclusion that they are the same person.
Yes I am aware that lying and cheating is very common behavior

In those lines of work where it's especially common, ethical behavior can be a competitive advantage
Well.... not really.

- Why does seemingly every channel I follow, whether it be JCS Criminal Psychology or The 8-bit Guy, have to mention the YouTube Algorithm, Content ID, Copyright Strikes, or Community Guidelines? If almost every creator is struggling and not just the fringe and edgy, you've screwed up big time.

- Removal of the dislike count. Extremely unpopular decision. Also YouTube's API is still answering dislike counts making extensions to bring it back still function, despite over a year later, almost implying it was about keeping up appearances. Now... who could be so worried about keeping up appearances...

- Completely blowing up YouTube Rewind into an increasingly corporate affair that quickly started heading downhill until the absolute train wreck of 2018, where it became the most disliked video in YouTube history at that point. This was, in part, because YouTube basically sanitized it of the presence of the popular YouTubers at the time because they might not be advertiser-friendly. Rewind never recovered and YouTube has now given up trying to engage with the community in such a way.

- Taking a 5-second ad at the beginning of her tenure, and leaving it with multiple, constant, unskippable, rampant advertising; and a subscription plan that started at $10/mo. turning into $23/mo. for equivalent service (5 users).

- Launched YouTube Kids to provide a curated experience for younger individuals, then decided to make it run on automation. Which then screwed up big time and started serving kids extremely inappropriate content causing a brief congressional inquiry. Then YouTube settled as guilty to violating COPAA, and decided to shift all the responsibility on the creators by disabling comments and other features on any video that may possibly be seen by kids.

Some "success"...

They might stop holding dollars for that reason, but they would definitely also stop holding dollars if inflation was high and the Fed had nothing to sell to bring it back down.
> A commercial bank has a considerable amount of both assets and liabilities. In order to remain solvent, the asset side must exceed the liability side, and they have various regulations placed on them to try to keep them as solvent as possible.

The 'attempt to remain solvent' assumes that an insolvent bank isn't instantly marked as 'a fraudulent store of assets', in the same way that a parking garage that 'takes joyrides in its customers cars' can't really be called a 'properly functioning parking garage', even if most of the customers don't generally get inconvenienced by the joyriding.

Banks that lend out _deposits_, for loans to others, who then deposit those loans as deposits, are _lying_ to their customers about the availability of the money, and in 'old times' was regarded as uninteresting, simple fraud, and the responsible parties were stripped of their banking certifications and publically shamed for the crime of stealing their customers assets.

The fed is not to be taken seriously, though it can hurt you if you run afoul of it, and everyone who is affected by the dollar is kinda running afoul of it right now. :(
Given the trend, I've really come to see all electric cables as not-yet-evolved computers, the same way every light bulb is a low resolution display.
You think $5B would bankrupt Tesla?
I think this is a legitimate question, and a reflection of how the NHTSA needs to adjust their wording for modern car architectures.

It's technically a recall, but it's fixed with an OTA update. But the fact that any "defect" that can be fixed with an OTA update is called a "recall" is confusing to consumers and contributes to media sensationalism.

There absolutely needs to be a process overseen by regulators for car manufacturers to address software-based defects, but the name would benefit from being changed to reflect that it can be done without physically recalling the vehicle to the dealer.
A small suggestion for OP. This sounds pretty interesting, but I'm left with many practical questions. Your site should be focused on trying to explain this concept and clarify exactly what you mean by zero waste.

I would assume that a delivery driver isn't going to lug a giant barrel of beans up to some 3rd floor walk up, tell you to hold out your hands, dip a scoop into the barrel, and tell you to say when you've got enough beans, but that's literally how "zero waste" might possibly be interpreted literally.

How does this actually work in practice if I wanted some of dem beans? What do they come wrapped in? Is it safe? How do you handle messy foods?

Lack of infrared exposition

Each of our mitochondria need infrared to remove oxidative stress.(inflammation)

They use infrared to do that but we now live inside more and more (especially elderly and sick) and thus we are in a constant crisis of chronic inflammation.

I know it sound new age, but the research is there, like Vit-D with the sun must have sounded ridicule at the time, the need for infrared was not apparent when most people worked outside.

Better Search and Answers. You are giving good marks on the citations and references that underly the answers in Bing.

Ah, going with the attack on character of the commenter angle and the 'words they choose to use'. Wow, this discussion is definitely not HK worthy. And this is coming from me a low quality kinda shit poster.
Best of luck!

How will weights and measures factor in to pricing? Can orders be placed for arbitrary quantities or will there be fixed sizing?

How will you tackle container returns? Amazon fresh used to use high quality insulated bags you were supposed to return on next delivery, but eventually they switched to a cardboard box with some insulated bubble wrap that was all disposable. Not sure why exactly, but I imagine that there's more overhead of logistics and cost for materials. Will the smaller scale make that easier for you to manage?
Have you heard of the fundamental attribution error?

https://online.hbs.edu/blog/post/the-fundamental-attribution...

I think it's relevant here.

Added to "don't understand" and "dont care" is a third option: "don't agree", based on different upbringings and cultural values, some of which you or I would find abhorrent, because of our own upbringing and cultural values. But I think you should recognize that there is a good chance you'd have the same beliefs if you had the same life experience.
YouTube is an absolute trash platform and has been long before Susan became a CEO. Which goes to show just how incapable she was for the role.

The same algorithm that YouTube was using for recommendations 10 years ago is still the same algorithm being used today. An absolute disgrace and a spat in the face for the platforms users.
"In a normal tech company, software developers would be organized into an established hierarchy, with managers, job descriptions and performance reviews. If it were publicly traded, investors would receive standardized disclosures about its finances, operations and management.

Crypto disclosures to investors are contained not in regulatory filings but in white papers, message boards and in a Byzantine code repository on GitHub, the Microsoft Corp.-owned website where Bitcoin Core is stored. Maintainers and other software developers discuss high-priority code tweaks and personnel matters in a weekly chat room that is public."

If the idea of this passage to make the former sound more appealing than the latter, they failed (to me at least). And I'm amused at labelling the Bitcoin Core repo 'Byzantine' - do they think normal tech companies don't use Git(Hub)?

"“It can be very scary,” Mr. Chow replied, his screen filled with lines of code against a black background" - lol!
edit since I can't edit: "And server gets bfloat" meaning "if you were to bring a ML training server application over to consumer it might not work".

Basically what I'm saying is, the only 2 situations that would be a problem is going consumer->server (which I don't see happening often) or going server ML training -> consumer if it doesn't have a non-BFloat16 fallback. And everyone does ML training on GPUs anyway.

Otherwise everything supports everything. Going backwards within a family might be a problem, but, that's always a problem, it's not a support matrix problem where there's a mixture of capability, it's just backwards compatibility to older hardware with less features.

The real problem, as I said, is that "Cooper Lake" there is Ice Lake-SP which was stalled for years, and by the time it was adopted Milan was already in the market and Cooper Lake was dead on arrival. So nobody actually has Cooper Lake, if you have AVX-512 server it's 99.9% chance it's either Skylake-SP or Cascade Lake-SP.

Which is 100% drop-in compatible with any consumer platform that anyone has (since conveniently nobody has Cannon Lake either). The literal only problem is taking consumer applications and running them on server stuff, and there's a well-defined server compatibility set there too.

--

Going forward, Sapphire Rapids is Golden Cove cores, so it should have the same support bars as Alder Lake there, ie basically everything, including server bfloat as well.

https://www.phoronix.com/image-viewer.php?id=intel-sapphirer...

(and of course the other problem being Intel has no idea what the fuck they're doing with big.LITTLE on the consumer platform... the support matrix for everything consumer-family going forward is apparently "nothing" because they've dropped AVX-512 entirely.)

--

Let me drill this down to the generations you actually need to care about: (that poor PNG...)

https://i.imgur.com/2HLrIjr.png

Like literally the AVX-512 support matrix is a complete fucking non-issue, it's an absolute tempest in a teapot by people who have never touched or looked seriously at AVX-512. The AVX-512 rollout is a dumpster fire in many many ways but an overly-complex support matrix is not one of them.

Huh. Do you know if they consider quality of employment in there as well? 'Cuz if not, that plus Goodhart's law would, uh, explain some things.

MSI is not much better than the other choices when it comes to buggy firmware. Just grep on a z690 how many AE_ALREADY_EXISTS errors you get on a fresh kernel boot ( which indicates at the very minimum a total lack of attention to detail). It did not improve on the z790 despite the fact it was widely reported to them.
Not probably. They're certainly selling your data.
how do you expect we will ever get a randomized control trial controlling for fructose in diet?

Your right, but RCT would take how long? 50 years? How can you make people not eat fructose or limit that for 50 years?

Wouldnt call the article junk sciensce. We also need hypothesis builing articles. I think they are proposing a specific mechanism of action about how fructose might cause Alzheimers.

I believe there are other clues also pointing in this direction, which I wont bore you with.

Just want to note, that I think everyone would prefer high powered RCTs, but I dont believe they are feasible to fund and run

That post is a classic and the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline.
Hotels have gotten very haphazard about servicing rooms without, in many cases, being explicit about their policies. That said, I don't really care and, when they do come by to service, I'm often in the room trying to work on something.
I feel this.

It brings in contrast the public response to workplace shootings, or even the rarer instances when the entire staff of a workplace quit at once.

We quickly found out about a bunch of the nuance of the Half Moon Bay shootings, and appear to be doing things to make those workplaces and living places better (though of course this doesn't help the larger problem of agricultural labor practices). And I think most readers get a vicarious sense of justice out of mass quitings. But yeah strikes, and unionization in general, make bystanders nervous.
Any reasonable manufacturer will rotate firmware images and have the bootloader fall back to the most recent validated image. Though I imagine this could happen if this practice becomes common enough that you get it on some 5$ gas station charging cable kinda thing.

Similarly I used to work overnight in a strip mall next door to a PC/e-waste "recycling" place. Out back in the alley was just a massive pile of obsolete 90s/early 2000s PCs that hadn't been broken down or stripped of e-waste in any way. I'd go rummaging through it sometimes looking for a usable Pentium 3 processor and some ram. Maybe a hard disk that wasn't roached. Built a bunch of fun little Linux computers with those.

Anyway, the owner went to jail for something or other unrelated. I'm sure all that stuff went to the landfill.
> if you ask it how to deal with a grease fire

This is absurd. If I ask a child how to deal with a grease fire, they wouldn't know the right answer either. Even looking stuff up on Wikipedia is wrong half the time. Toys like ChatGPT will literally never replace subject matter experts (let alone provide nuance w.r.t. ethics or law), so I'm confused why this is even the bar here.

Ask HN: How do AI chatbots develop personalities?
If it's all just tensors, matrices, and math behind them, then how do these chatbots have distinct personalities?

One possible explanation is that the personality is just an emergent phenomenon. But still, it seems distinct and very human like. Not something random. Could it be that Bing's Sydney personality is just because someone fed it a large data of text which served as the "seed" for that personality? Or did this personality seemingly arise out of nowhere?

The Google engineer who made headlines last year also claimed LaMDA had emotions and a personality.

In fact, there is a huge disconnect between people who design similar systems (Vision, safety, self driving, robotics, simulations) and those who use them. The criticism of Tesla is coming from experts, not jealous competitors.

The problem with systems where 99% is a failing grade, is that 99% of the time, they work great. The other 1% you die. No one is against FSD or safer tech. They are against Tesla's haphazard 2d vision-first FSD.

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.

The words 'road' and 'safety' should never be uttered in the the same sentence.
