One thing to consider about your anecdotal encounters with people of those countries is that they were probably in your country. They were probably emigres. If you spoke to people within those countries who are happy with their country, the sentiment would probably be quite different.
I am a major proponent of Rust and definitely push for it. However rustup's installation method is somewhat of a disgrace in my opinion. I don't use rustup at all and use nix instead (yes, I'm that guy).
In the U.S., product-liability law allows you to sue the product's manufacturer (and everyone else in its supply chain including retailer); you don't have to sue the driver under some sort of "negligent ownership" theory.

Stock price is based on future expectations, not past value. Tesla is still growing very fast.
Let's not pretend that the SCOTUS is unbiased and just calling balls and strikes at this point. Even before revelations about what gifts Justice Thomas gets, it was pretty obvious that conservatives were getting judges in place so that the judicial system could do things like this, things the legislative branch couldn't do without (metaphorically) slitting their own throat. Any legislator that voted for something like this would be out of a job the very next election.

I don't know about the debunking. I do know what I saw with my own eyes; the video shows people stuffing ballots in boxes all across the country. There's also the weird phenomena where ballot counting was shut down in four states simultaneously and then restarted. Suddenly there was a statistical anomaly of hundreds of thousands of votes for Biden. And there's other weird stuff that I honestly should have been keeping track of.

I don't think the election was fair, I think it was rigged. And I think it smells so badly that I suspect our elections have been rigged for a long, long time.

The leak can be real, but the narrative around the leak is important.

My read from this link to a story about a story:

~1000 crashes related to autopilot reported for the 2.6 million autopilot enabled vehicles shipped in the reported time frame.

.04% total failures. How many of these were user created and not the fault of the car? How many of the failures from the car were specific to that cars hardware vs the software? Was it a Tesla hardware failure or an OEM device failure?

I’m not gonna do a full analysis, but whenever I re contextualize myself on car crash statistics I am reminded that Tesla failures represent an insignificant fraction of all failures.
Even ASCII itself is a strange encoding that could be lost with enough time and need to be recovered through cryptographic analysis and signals processing. That doesn't look at all likely today given UTF-8's promised and mostly accomplished ubiquity and its permanent grandfathering of ASCII. But ASCII is still only one of a number of potential encoding schemes, isn't necessarily obvious from first principles.

Past generations thought EBCDIC would last longer than it did.

Again, not that there any indications now that ASCII won't survive nearly as long as the English language does at this point, just that when we're talking about sending signals to the future, even assuming ASCII encoding is an assumption to question.
It was the same with Toyota too. Car and Driver did an article and summarized the unintended acceleration cases and it turned out most people were intoxicated. Same thing with Audi back in the early 90s. People were pressing the wrong pedals and blaming the car. Audi still lost and Toyota still lost.
I still don’t understand why people think it was the wrong decision.

Tesla self-driving is better than a bad human driver. There are loads of bad human drivers on the road. Someone has to be liable, but I don't really care if it falls to Musk or a Musk simp. I do care if we kick yet another key technology out of the US only to have to rent it back years later when someone else picks up the torch. Let's not do that.
I say this as someone still driving a pre-emissions-control diesel VW: Volkswagen had long been positioning themselves as the market leader for diesel passenger cars in the US. Nobody else was doing as much to offer diesels across their lineup, or push them as the "green"/economical option. And they have been the biggest manufacturer in Europe for a long time, so it makes sense that the EU came down on them like a ton of bricks too.

There was a period in the early-mid 2000s where their diesels, along with Mercedes, got pushed out of California and CARB-compliant states. The opinion among diesel enthusiasts was that this was intentional on the part of CARB not just over NOx concerns, but also to help the market for hybrids grow. Otherwise, given the TDI's at-the-time superior highway mileage and the then-prevailing diesel prices, the VW diesel would have presented as the superior option to the Prius for a lot of people.

During this period, there was still a lot of pent-up demand for the VW and Mercedes diesels in California. Any car coming from out of state with at least 8,500 miles on the odometer was considered a "used car" and could be registered no matter the powerplant, so there was quite a cottage industry of putting that much mileage on brand-new out-of-state diesels and then turning them around on LA or SF Craigslist. The market here was primed to buy VW, but VW cheated to get in a position to sell new "CARB-compliant" diesels again. I'm not surprised that the prosecutors went after them disproportionately.
I think this is closely related to no true scotsman, both involve comparison to idealized version of something.
It's more that, while acknowledging that both would be important, in this completely contrived scenario where you have to choose only one, which one would you choose? In a world where your greediest next door neighbor is free to choose guns over canned goods, do you choose canned goods, only to have them taken away at gunpoint? Or, do you choose a gun and go find someone to take canned goods from? Again, a ridiculous thought experiment in the first place.

> Younger travelers posting on Twitter and Instagram mock passengers who insist on clutching pieces of paper. “If you’re under 65 and have a paper boarding pass, I’m just going to assume you are going to cause delays during my airport experience,” one person tweeted

I fear for our youth sometimes. More times than not, in my humble experience, it’s the people insisting on the use of digital everything that hold up the process during my “airport experience”.

“Oh I was just messing around with Spotify in line. Give me a second to pull up the app”

“Oh the brightness is too low on my phone. Let’s futz around with that for 2 minutes to get the barcode to scan”

“Oh the screen on my phone is all smashed to crap so you have to scan it juuuust right”

Obviously, you can have similar issues with paper passes but in my experience people who have an unadulterated paper pass in hand tend to be the ones moving quickest through areas where it needs to be presented.
The report being on a site with a bias does make me want to read with a more critical eye, as everything is being spun to look as bad as possible.

The behaviour described (not wanting anything written) might very well be standard operating procedure with any company with decent legal counsel.

Teslas have a problem with phantom braking (e.g. when there's a dark shadow it fails to detect that it's a shadow before going from ~70mph to ~55mph). Myself and countless friends I know have experienced it but that problem has yet to be solved.
I'd say your missing the importance of not being bound to a proprietary model, and of not having to explain to your customers why you send their data to a third party.

But in the fairly near term, I see no evidence that the proprietary generic models will keep their leads in a way that's meaningful for commercial products. Do you?
Diplomacy is collusion now? That's a pretty hawkish stance.
No such thing was proven in court.

Instead, what was shown in court was that Toyota had a culture of firmware engineering that produced code impossible to consistently QC, debug, test or verify. And as a result, they quietly fired the directors of that department, rebuilt it from scratch, and replaced every TCU from that era with a re-engineered unit in a series of about a dozen recalls spanning a decade and millions of vehicles.
After watching the video, it seems that they are distinguishing it by the fact that it was a man-made object created for the specific purpose of producing music. This of course still allows for other pre-existing natural objects to be used for music playing.

For example, I assume prior to creating a flute, human ancestors likely batted rocks together or beat rocks against hollow logs to create a beat or variants of music.

But the significance of this finding is that it was purpose-made for creating music, which is interesting since it hints at the cultural impact that music may have played 60,000+ years ago.

aka every single one of Elon Musk's product pitches, especially the Hyperloop
It happens all the time. People panic and mash their foot to the floor. Some old guy crashed into 6 cars down the street from my work through a parking lot, and jumped his car across the alley and though the wall of my office into our break room. He just panicked and thought he was mashing the brakes. Luckily nobody was in the break room.
Elons point on cars being worth 5x as much with self driving shouldn’t be dismissed. If a car that costs $25,000 to manufacture all of a sudden can be driven 40-50 hours a week automatically, how much is that car now worth?

So I totally disagree on that end, as do most investors given teslas enormous valuation.
The British were after Crimea 180 years ago. (see charge of the light brigade) It's a big prize. And it had been Russian from the 1700s until 1956.

If we're going to go back that far -- it was all part of the Crimean Khanate from 1443 up until 1783 (not 1700 as you know perfectly well), whose border extended up to the Dnipro, all around the Azaq deñizi (which later occupiers would call the Sea of Azov) and then some.

So clearly none of the occupying powers since then have any legitimacy.

That is not to excuse any Russian behavior either.

No, you're just trying to minimize it, and use it as a wedge to get some emotional talking points in.
How is that any different from any other product from any other manufacturer, though? Tort law has a thousand year history in our culture. Is there something specific about Tesla that needs something new?

I mean, what you say is sorta specious. Of course that's true, it's always true. The interesting question is "are the cars dangerous?". And the answer seems to be a pretty emphatic no, at this point. So instead everyone wants to argue about abstractions ("they're still liable") or absolutisms ("no failure is acceptable").

And that seems increasingly counterproductive, and frankly to have more to do with the somewhat questionable mental stability of the CEO than to the behavior of the actual products.
They were considerably more expensive the first year Tesla FSD was due to be ready by the end of the year. After that I guess it was deemed easier to do magic with some low quality cameras than get certain people to admit they're wrong and change course.
I think the term of interest here is non-computable: irrational numbers can have finite kolmogorov complexity.

You're kind of "begging the question" here, where you're assuming that non-computable numbers exist and then using that to show that some numbers are non-computable. You can definitely show that these things exist, but that relies on "believing" the set of axioms that you used to prove it.

One thing I love about programmers is that they rarely use complex symbols. They are the complete opposite to mathematicians in this regard. Basically all programming languages consist just of ASCII keywords. So when in doubt about some keyword, you can just use Google and type it in. Together with the name of the language.

I guess symbols look fancier and are more concise.

Also, mathematicians do love their PDFs. No doubt because it supports their beloved symbols so well. Of course PDFs are terrible for the Web and screens in general, but only a programmer would care about that.

The lines of code are not even your lines of code!

They are lines of code until you reveal them to the world. Then they are part of the world. When someone else improves them (or tries to improve them) you must rejoice that the ideas you have given the world have attracted enough attention to be criticized and improved!

Only by keeping the code private would the criticism be criticism against you. Once you distribute the code, the only truly negative thing someone can do, from your point of view, is to ignore the code.

That’s my point of view anyway. Elsewhere in the thread someone commented positively on your self awareness and in parting I must echo them.
First, I make no claim that the 4x or 20x numbers are true. Sans an investigation, any such claim should be viewed with suspicion. However, the claim that financial irregularities are almost certainly there can't possibly be controversial.

If I was forced at gunpoint to point out the obvious, Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in Europe prior to the war. Unless you are saying that - magically - the people who were syphoning money and treasure from the Ukrainian people were all killed or "vanished", the same appetites for corruption still exist while large amounts of resources are being poured in. This is literally the opportunity of a lifetime for aforementioned bullet-stealing bloodsuckers.

The US has never been good at tracking money or getting value for money. Even during the Civil War, Union capitalists initially looted the Union with broken weapons and badly made uniforms. Haliburton is a more recent example of this poopstain on the American economy.

While the amount of corruption is in question, given the above two, there is every reason to believe financial corruption is happening. Those who disingeously pretend everything is normal are frankly suspicious.

Honestly, I can't believe I need to make this clear in a discussion about "War Is A Racket". Then again, a weaker, poorer America that isn't able to murder brown people for fun and profit is in my personal benefit, so maybe your ignorance is beneficial. Yes, please don't investigate; any such suggestion was clearly made by Russian bots.

Since Tesla works really hard to hide who is responsible in case of an Autopilot crash, witholds and deletes information as well as deny any responsibility anyways, being just as good as a human driver isn't nearly enough.

Additionally, there's no data because Tesla releases nothing except heavily doctored numbers meant to make them look good. (To Tesla, a crash means airbag deployed. Sorry, random person that got ran over and killed, but you're out of Tesla's statistics)

You can count on Tesla for one thing, and that is to lie.
Moral of the post: don't do premature optimization. Common adage but it's a good reminder and example of it.

Aside from one case where OP argued that the queries were so rare compared to the data updates that maintaining the index is more expensive. Which is also pretty classic when you're taught about indexes.

What I recently learned the hard way about indexes is that they're slow when you have to read "large" chunks of a table to find an answer, in my case computing a median for an area. I'm indexing geospatial data and Europe+NA are overrepresented. When you view an area the size of ~Germany, the query would take 20 minutes and compute the median over ~3% of all records whereas a full table scan (whole world) took something like 40 seconds (with the median being computed over the same 3%, it would just evaluate the WHERE clause against every row instead of finding rows to include via the index). That's the power of a sequential read as compared to reading an Rtree. I haven't had such bad experiences with Btree indexes, not sure if that would behave just as badly. On the other hand, if you ask for an area the size of Amsterdam, the index is normal fast, and for <50 rows it's basically instant whereas the full table scan would still take the same 40 seconds.

> As a side note, I've never heard of confusing the pedals as an issue for ANY car

Then you haven't been paying attention around the Toyota acceleration scandal.

Pedal confusion is remarkably common when you buy a new car/use a rental (your feet rely on muscle memory), and it's not uncommon in the elderly.

Most of the Toyota unintended acceleration fits the statistical profile of pedal confusion in the elderly.

However, what Toyota really got whacked for is that when people pulled their software for audit, the software was a disaster and didn't even adhere to basic standards. At that point, it was cheaper for Toyota to just admit fault than go through with a whole lot of court cases that they were likely to lose once a jury got involved.

Don't know that it's a fallacy, it's more that the question you ask is impossible to answer - it's impossible to have a number for how many crashes were prevented. But we do have a number for crashes caused by. So we work off of that - if Telsa want's to argue they are safer, I'd love for them to devise some way to prove it, but I can't see that happening.
