To clarify: they have remote assistance teams, but they cannot “take over” and control the car at all. All they can do is things like plotting a path to go around if the vehicle gets stuck. They have no ability to do safety critical interventions, the vehicle is capable of reaching a ‘minimum risk condition’ all on its own.

Uber drivers would also need to be trained to do this and Uber needs to setup facilities for this. I don’t believe this is likely.
'Connection' wouldn't be a list. 'Connection' would be an item that has query() and close() functions on it.
Knowing to just have a copy of [The Joy of Cooking] and [Better Homes and Gardens] takes you very far. The recipes are full fledged you're-a-homemaker-with-time-to-do-this level, so sometimes you can simplify them down -- e.g., there are some pancake adjacent recipes that have you put the yolk of an egg in first, followed later by the frothed white -- I skip that.

The only time I need to stray from those is for various kinds of ethnic cooking, in which case, a cookbook devoted to them serves a lot better than a website with a bunch of machine generated boilerplate at the beginning.

I went back and forth on this and decided in the end that it makes sense to use hex for 2 reasons:

1. It's what people are going to be exposed to in any material outside of this post.
2. Within this post, it helps distinguish between pointers and sizes/values.
WhatsApp used to charge $1/year before the Meta acquisition. If you could convince people to pay $3/GB, that'd be enough to front the content with Cloudflare and store the data in the Internet Archive forever. Still need to solve the moderation problem, but it isn't impossible.
What would you say to people like me who never ever use LSP regardless of language? I think a team of people with my workflow (plain emacs and a repl) could build and serious software projects successfully. So maybe LSP isn't the be-all end-all in that department?
Big disagree, I think that sounds super fun. Remember there's a significant enough number of people that play long haul truck simulators.

I love things like this. It’s especially funny knowing about Lars reputation as a drummer. Things like this are found throughout the early Metallica tab/notation books. I have a good friend who recently did a set of And Justice for All songs who encountered it and told me at the time. “That’s definitely not what they actually played,” all over the album.

This sort of thing happens all the time. A band gets used to the timing and they do it because it sounds cool and feels right, time signature and tempo be damned.

I drum in a death metal band. We play live without a metronome but we record with one. Last week, we were going through a song and programming the click track. It’s a process of playing a riff, figuring out the comfortable tempo and time signature, setting it in Reaper, then playing along to it until there’s a change and doing it again. We hit this one transition that has these odd pauses. It’s very Suffocation, for any death metal fans out there. We always hold out one of them in a subtle way and discovered that we couldn’t find a way to program the section! The timing we were used to, especially me as the drummer, didn’t sync up with the a tempo that made sense, it wasn’t a countable number of beats. But we also did it evenly as a band for the past year, every time we played it, all together.

We wound up just deciding that we should play it to the click, speed up the pauses just a bit. It takes away a little personality but keeps the song tight.

Like typing with a modified Dvorak like keyboard layout I imagine it would be more comfortable to think, read and speak in Ithkuil. It took me three months to switch from Qwerty to a Dvorak-like 20 years ago. I still can type both, even though it feels significantly less comfortable to type in Qwerty, I guess I’m spoiled.
How long would it take for me to learn Ithkuil? I don’t have to speak it as there is no one understanding it (except other dorks on the internet), so it’s better to learn to read and write my personal notes in Ithkuil.
This means I should also have a dvorak like Ithkuil TNIL keyboard layout. Is there such a thing? Ideally I also want to converse with a LLM trained on Ithkuil texts. As there are very few TNIL (the latest version) texts I wonder if somekind of translator can be build that can translate a large relevant body of English texts for me into Ithkuil.
I don't think there is a cabal of bros sitting in dark rooms plotting and scheming.

I think what we are seeing here is the good old european mindset in action and the defunct system it created.

The "founding fathers" of the EU wanted something completely different, yet toxic european habits keep resurfacing.

We see the same type of propaganda against the "lesser folks" (notice how europeans treat other europeans simply because of their ethnicity or country of origin), the desire for living space and expansion, coercion and control, splitting territories among powers, and so on. If you read european history books you will see that none of this is new - not even the war in ukraine and the us intervening to prevent europe from cannibalizing itself once again, and so on.

The old empires of europe have proxied via Brussels and are doing what they always did. And it will end up with the same results, over and over again. Europe never learns.
If anything, progress speed in AI has greatly increased. The AlexNet architecture combined CNNs and backpropagation, and used GPUs, none of which was new at the time. In contrast, GPTs use an entirely new architecture, the transformer. Progress is accelerating, not slowing down.

By the way, space was stagnant because there was little commercial investment for decades. Most development was done by NASA themselves (space shuttle) which turned out to be highly ineffective. But now there is a lot commercial activity. And relatively groundbreaking progress has occurred already: SpaceX has built a reusable lower stage for their medium lift rocket, which strongly reduces their launch cost. As a result of this cost reduction, they are currently building a global satellite internet network in low orbit with low latency and high speed. And they are also working on a rocket which has a similar payload capacity to the Saturn V, while being fully reusable. The cost will be a tiny fraction.

In the field of AI, too, the commercial research is currently taking off. Microsoft is pouring billions into OpenAI, and Google is racing to keep up.

Nothing points at a slow down.
Bangladesh and West Bengal are hardly prudish about prostitution.
People don't pop out old and lonely out of thin air. Don't you think that there were several real people who tried to help him and deal with him during this person's life? It is naïve to think that AI will make any beneficial difference. If these old folks won't listen or take advice from real people, they won't listen to a computer. Everybody reaches a certain age in life where they will be completely set in their ways and never change. For some it comes earlier or later in life.

This is a loss of somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 employee-years.
Or they do not care about ethnic war on periphery of Europe that affects none of US vital interests? Making irrelevant war in far remote country existential good vs evil struggle is how US got into Vietnam. The fact that there were zero negative consequences for US after fall of South Vietnam tells you that it was bullshit from beginning.

The same with Afghanistan. I disagree with Biden on many points but getting out of that country was the best possible course. Same situation as with Vietnam - with Taliban in power in Afghanistan there are zero negative consequences for US. What's more Taliban is apparently better than US or former "Afghan" government in suppressing actual terrorist activities that can threaten US.

Not every war is WW2 and struggle for world domination.

> According to the sources and the February 2021 bank record seen by Reuters, Binance mixed customer money and company revenues in a third Silvergate account, belonging to a Zhao-controlled Cayman firm. Binance converted money from this third account into the dollar-linked token BUSD, according to the person with knowledge of Binance’s group finances and company messages

> These accounts were not used to accept user deposits; they were used to facilitate user purchases” of crypto, said spokesperson Brad Jaffe. “There was no commingling at any time because these are 100% corporate funds.” When users sent money to the account, he said, they were not depositing funds but buying the exchange’s bespoke dollar-linked crypto-token, BUSD. This process was “exactly the same thing as buying a product from Amazon,”

The article has a lot of details and infographics - but ends with no conclusion, just guesswork. I appreciate the work and time that went into an article like this - it would be nice if it was more factual and less "blind-sourced" extrapolated hypothesis.
When it comes to putting emotion into music, I think it is a lot easier to do so with an expressive, physically embodied musical instrument.

This is exactly my experience. I started with mouse/keyboard only fiddling with electronic music (no music background whatsoever) and the day I bought a basic MIDI controller I ended up playing it until it was time to go to work the next morning.. It was such an overwhelming experience, not just the keys themselves but also the buttons and the trackpad. Finally I could just do all these tiny variations which make groove on the spot, immediately, in infinite variations, instead of going back and forth dragging things with a mouse in only one dimension.
I think it also helps Waymo fill in the gaps between markets that they support. Customers get an app that works pretty much anywhere, and Waymo can drop into any given market with 10k self driving cars pretty much overnight.
I guess Anthony didnt have to steal Waymos secrets after all

I don't like that Nintendo does this. I don't care who does it, it's wrong.

That said, of all the people doing this, it seems to me Nintendo is among the worst targets to go after. They were, to my eye, dragged into this almost against their will, and if anything they've been backing off from it. It certainly hasn't wormed its way in to their mainline games the way it is well into worming its way in to almost every other major publisher out there's games.

Again, I don't say this to defend them. It's wrong for everyone. What I am saying though is that this is not a very target rich environment, and there are target-rich environments elsewhere. There are companies that seem to be entirely based not only on exploitative mechanics, but exploitative mechanics specifically targeted at children, like Roblox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTMF6xEiAaY, the People Make Games investigations into them, for instance.

Although there is an interesting strategy for Nintendo to pursue here where they get sued, and then basically deliberately construct a precedent-setting loss to knee-cap their competition on this front. There's a lot of competition for Nintendo out there surviving on the basis of these cheap drug hits of monetary injection whose ability to develop good games on their own merits are clearly well into the process of atrophy, and Nintendo would probably stand to benefit even if they have to pay some millions of dollars in settlement payouts to impose those restrictions on them. If those mechanics were, for the sake of argument, banned, I think Nintendo would be a big winner in that scenario. Consumers too, for that matter.
Low pay and an insecure job. It's like a pyramid scheme and many end up either forced to leave science or remain an eternal postdoc, and in countries like Germany postdoc funding is restricted once you reach a certain career stage so even the eternal postdoc isn't an option.
> It would be silly to expect software developers (who are typically intelligent and highly analytical) not to realize that the incentives are very clearly stacked towards following the latest trends. Now I do think that this is a very suboptimal outcome for the company, but if they since they are the ones setting the incentive structure in the first place it is difficult to feel too sorry for them.

Incentives matter, if you learn nothing else about economics learn this. People do things that they feel are best for them so companies need to align personal incentives with company outcomes or face sub-optimal solutions for the companies because the employees feel the solutions is optimal for themselves.

With an average employee tenure at a company being a few years, how can longer term issues with software ever be a deciding factor for employees.

Do home cooks not care about how the food tastes? This seems like a strange take. People started cooking by roasting or boiling things over an open flame or searing them on a hot rock. Most of the techniques learned and passed down are about how to ensure good results under contexts where the inputs are naturally inconsistent and hard to control.

I don't know why we'd have an assumption that people have or want to work with precise scientific instruments all the time.
The fact that Elm had traction and popular support (books/youtube tutorials/etc) most language or framework projects would kill for and then basically dropped is almost criminal in my mind.

Don’t disagree that some of the recipe times are very optimistic, but watching friends cook gives me hives at how inefficient they are, handful of things to think about about that will massively speed up your cooking time:

1)read the recipe and spend a couple of min visualizing the steps, what you’ll need and writing out the timing and grouping chores.

2) do some mise en place[a] (buy $50 of small duralex glass bowls for this, they’re great). E.g. do all your dry good measuring, then wet measuring, vegetable chopping in groups.

3. Set up efficiently (mise en place above), watching someone go to the cupboard 15 times and then the fridge 8 times for things in their recipe is a huge waste. Use a trash bowl so you’re not running to the sink or garbage all the time.

4. Learn knife skills (a lot of cooking schools offer a stand alone class). The right way and the wrong way to dice an onion or Julianne a pepper are like 80%+ reductions in time spent on a task…

5. Clean while you cook.

You’ll be shocked at the time savings if you combine these elements.

Stock images were also popular in advertising, since they were considered cheaper than hiring an illustrator or photographer. AI-generated images are cheaper again, and most people can’t tell the difference.
Right. It's like we're worried that a robot is going to come along and interrupt this bad time we're having.
Or put it in Google Maps if they had any sense. They should know when to recommend ride hailing with high accuracy to those who enable location history, and they can skip the clunky app switching that other ride hailing services require.

I definitely think social media has a large share in driving down the mental health of the majority of users. No two lives are comparable, yet it induces people to compare their lives to someone else's often resulting in an unreasonable amount of envy, jealousy, and a general dissatisfaction of their lives. People pick their best moments while sharing, but it's never the true picture. It sets unrealistic expectations.
Wow.

What exactly is the problem here? If I want to know what is in it or how it is made, I can read the label.

Seeing that it is a 'plant based cheese' I can know exactly what it is, in terms of how I would use it, sure I might not know what it is made of, but isn't that true for most things people buy unless they do research / read the label?

Calling it any other name, just makes it confusing, it's clear you don't like these products, which is fine, so long as they are labeled correctly such as 'almond milk' or 'plant based cheese' you can avoid them and get on with your life.

For others that want this product, this labeling is helpful, what is the issue, apart from being being anti-plant based products having a hissy fit?7

There is no lying going on with the products, it's helping customers decide. If I turn vegan and I want to use something to replace cheese, what would I be looking for? Plant based cheese, is easy and simple, why are we making this an issue? Products have been named this way for a significant time.
as an european, i'm sure these plans exist.

I think you're underplaying the difficulty of what Uber has built. Uber is an operations-heavy business. Determining pricing strategies, handling incidents, and working with local governments is at the core of its service. Google has traditionally shied away from businesses that require big operational investments in real-world assets the way that, say, Amazon or Airbnb have. These take time to build properly, and is a big piece of the puzzle that I can't see Waymo wanting to take on. It makes sense for them to want to partner, especially now that Uber has spun out Aurora.
Do you ever think in images or actions? For example when I'm navigating in a new place I sometimes have this "reorientation moment" when I thought something is forward, but I realize it's actually to the right. At the moment it feels like I have a map of the world in my mind and it rotates around me :) I get slight vertigo even :)

As for actions you probably don't think to yourself "I should kick the ball in 3.. 2.. 1.. now! with THIS amount of spin and THAT power" - you just kick it when it's appropriate. Inner monologue would be too slow and too imprecise to think about these things. The same mode of thinking works for other things too. For example bad habits are automatic - you don't need to think "I should alt-tab to browser and open hackernews" - it's one thought expressed without language.
Yeah. Pick your analogy:

- React is the iPhone of the frontend library world. Not the first, some will never say it's the best, but it put things together in a way that resonated with people and organically conquered a ton of mindshare.

- React is the Model T. Before the Model T there was a massively fragmented landscape full of mechanical wizardry and bespoke manufacturing. After the Model T the industry was larger, more consolidated, and standardized.

I don't believe that React will dominate forever. But I do believe that, 50 years from now, people talking about the history of the frontend will view React as the defining thing from the era we're in now.

> Because GPS is so much more accurate, it'll be hard to wean ships' crews from it.

The Russians have been really good as of late at jamming the GPS signals on the front-lines of Ukraine (see for example this recent piece [1] of news of them jamming the GPS targeting system of HIMARS rockets), so I guess that's what the British and the Atlanticists more generally are trying to defend against.

Granted, I do not know if it would be possible for the Russians (or the Chinese) to jam the GPS signal used by a ship that is sailing in the high seas, but the danger is there.
