Modern GNSS receivers with modern multi-band antennas can track hundreds of satellites simultaneously across all the various GNSS systems including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, etc....

This is how they build RTK surveying equipment, and they can have their own RTK reference point that uses statistical averaging over time to get accuracy down to the centimeter range or below, and then rebroadcast that to the local RTK rover nodes. There are multiple correction systems available that you can subscribe to, some of which can transmit their corrections via 4G/LTE/5G or other radio band communications, so that you don't need your own RTK reference for your rover units.

For good RTK equipment, you can easily pay $40k or more, but if you look around you can find some equipment that costs less than $1000. My current favorite is the SparkFun GPS RTK Express Kit, although you need a pair of them if you want to do your own RTK reference point and you don't subscribe to one of the various other correction systems.
I didn't pay for it.
This raises a good point..

If someone had said said “trains are safer than cars” I’d agree with that comparison, but the question is are humans good at driving cars. I don’t know if we’re particularly better at driving cars than trains, trains are just better designs.

I mean, you wouldn’t say humans are good at tic-tac-toe, and bad at chess, right? Chess is just a much harder game.
It is a symptom of a sick society when there are too many laws. Could a person even feasibly read the corpus of federal, state, and local laws in their lifetime at this point? What percentage would understand it if they could?

Fortunately many judges consider intent and circumstances in their rulings, but not always and that's certainly not where we should place our bets.
There are also still farmers. There is just a massively smaller number of them than what there was in the past. Now, lots of them moved to tractor factories, but those have automated, and the jobs moved to service and intelligence jobs.

The word 'all' is not something we should focus on. Technically if one farmer or travel agent existed, then 'all' those jobs have not been automated away. The structural integrity of society (or at least a desirable society) demands that we have some means providing for our existence at large population scales. Now it doesn't matter so much if this is a job, or UBI, or something we've not thought of yet as this should hopefully avoid a fascist collapse scenario where large amounts of unemployed people vote in or demand rather human hostile governments.
Calling bullshit on this now, purely based on Musk's track record. People continuing to bet on a horse that repeatedly stumbles in the back stretch doesn't make the horse a winner; it makes the bettors stupid.

If that's the case then it was never worth doing it in the first place. However we would not be arguing about it on an internet if we hadn't. But the real question is where do we go from here.

What does FSD stand for?

I would have thought that something called Full Self Driving would be capable of fully driving by itself.

Sarcasm aside, that’s how most people use it.

The NHTSA hasn’t regulated it, but that doesn’t mean it’s an endorsement. It just means that they haven’t found anything within their legislative mandate that they can regulate here. US agencies are largely reactive, and I’m not sure I trust them with my life to get this right.
Sort of. The employee + employer match can go into regular 401k or roth 401k whereas the mega backdoor roth is only roth.

Thus you can put ~33,000-66,000 into roth ones and only 0-33,000 into pre-tax ones whereas if the employer match got you up to the full 66,000, you could fully customize it to pre or post tax however you like.
In fairness, the corruption that led to PG&E accidentally burning down a city every few years occurred back in the 70’s, so those people are retired / dead, and the statute of limitations applies.

We don’t know how many people their current blatant and widespread corruption will kill, so I guess we’ll need to wait and see, then prosecute the responsible parties in 50 years.

What makes you think total costs and total salaries are even close to the same? What makes you think the company getting that amount of money means the employees getting the same amount?

I mean the blind spots you have are just way too numerous, large and fundamental to even bother with your comment.
That is because lavish-ness and decadence is cheap.

Being disciplined is a step above, and spending time working on yourself rather than working for someone else is even more upper class.

Also, there is still expensive real estate (more than Austin for sure), private jets, boats, servants, etc if you want to strive for “lavishness and decadence”.
We could have both though. They aren't mutually exclusive. Also important is the option to intercept system calls and return fake data to the software. Give it a silent audio, black video, a limited view of the file system. That lets us control proprietary software that gets pissy when permissions are denied.
I'm sure each well is an LLC. Limiting liability through corporations is imhop the biggest problem with the current world....
No it wasn't Bruce Ivins, the anthrax powder in the envelopes was a highly sophisticated preparation and Ivins didn't have access to the necessary technology (electrospray aerosolization of pure spores in a specific solution designed to make them maximally aerosolizable when dry).

If you look up 'electrospray technology for vaccine production' c. 1999 you'll find the culprits. In West Jefferson, Ohio, acting under CIA government contracts delivered to Battelle Memorial Institute.

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

The truth is often a painful thing.

...Incidentally this is also why the aerosolizable route to vaccination was abandoned, if you look up the history, the technology used to make a stable dry inhalable vaccine was far too likely to be used to make bioweapons..

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10194842/

(1999) Dry powder inhalation as a potential delivery method for vaccines

That's why you've never heard of it since. You can encapsulate live bioweapon viruses and bacteria as well as vaccine particles using that technology, which of course the Russia, China, America, Israel, India, etc. are all well aware of.

I wish they would quit lying about it, and just admit what they've been up to.

> length's unpredictable, right? Grouping by search length doesn't really sound feasible

You just have to group by ceillog2, so there aren't many buckets. Can even discretise further (say, one bucket for every two exponents) with likely not too much penalty. Alternately, perhaps restart the search entirely for pathological elements (so don't try to keep around the information gained by the cursory iterations of interpolation search), but if there are too many pathological elements, just do binary search up front for all elements. I expect this would work pretty well in practice. (Maybe with exponential backoff or something, so you don't lose to changes in the distribution of elements being searched for.)

(This reminds me, I have a similar problem with adaptive sorting. Having identified a number of presorted runs, it's necessary to merge them in the right order, because if I merge them in the wrong order I get quadratic. Plan is similarly to sort them by lzcnt or some such, which is a curious recursive problem.)
Your comment seems to imply recent degrading of service, but Twitter hasn't suddenly become hostile, and neither has Reddit.

Both platforms have long been problematic in terms of bias and toxicity, with Reddit also particularly bad with its UX in addition.
It does. Even waving your arms in a still cold pool will feel much colder than staying still.

>There is no reason to keep them if it’s a net negative to the tune of $21B.

One reason is that the people benefiting from the use of the thing now rarely are the ones to suffer the damages that pop up later.
ProPublica definitely has a viewpoint though and I would not recommend treating them as neutral.
There is a term for this: “inner monologue”, though not everyone experiences it. I am a native English speaker and have always had an English inner monologue, but many years ago when I lived in another country and started to lean the language to the point where I was fluent, I actually started to have an inner monologue in that language! And when I returned to the US, it took me quite some time
to return to a fully English inner monologue.

Ahh the schadenfruede is strong for me with this one. Silly cryptocurrency fans. When will they learn?
Except of course, it's not negative to the tune of $21B. Any more than California diverting half its rainwater to the ocean was either environmentally or economically useful to its ecosystem.

This is the same state where a good 70% of the population was under the delusion its state government could competently produce a train from North to South _and_ that they actually wanted to do so for altruistic reasons unrelated to buying off that critical missing piece of the legislature for supermajority budget power.

This is the same state whose very non-unique ecosystem plagues it with wildfires because they have no forest management.

The same state whose governor and highest ranking elected officials graduated from a city that can't figure out how to keep homeless people from dying on the street in droves.

California, and especially its "expert" class, is a political construction. It's amazing that after 50 years of chronic failure and a tax base solely built around capital gains and rent extraction from their two-tiered feudal economic sector that anyone trusts anything that comes out of California. It's delusional. If people's status wasn't so tied into this dream and idea of California progress, everyone could see it for what it truly is.
Do you "see" the image projected onto your eye's retina, if you just observe a massively parallel stream of electric stimuli going through your optic nerve, but never decode it into a cluster of pixels and the internal reconstruction of the scene in your brain is nothing like that?

(wait until you know that there are single-pixel compressive sensing cameras that bypass the wasteful image reconstruction phase, directly mapping the raw signal to the output representation...)
Wow, 17k requests per day?! Is that like an enterprise plan or something?

Why do it on public roads? There are oil fields in North Dakota where a lot of driving needs to be done and corporations could completely control that environment.

Why not automate cargo ships? There's far less to hit in the ocean and far fewer inputs required.

Most folks on HN are going to go straight to the physiological benefits, and zip past the psychological ones.

I'm a former Green Beret and combat diver. You know what cold plunges are good for? Practicing will power, and bravery.

It sucks. It's the worst thing ever. But it won't kill you. So you do it for the shock and the pain and the fact that you can safely push yourself to do something you and your body realllllly hates, and you can do it without becoming David Goggins or Jocko or whatever.

Just run a cold bath, dump some ice in, and practice being brave.
In the US, the sensitive news doesn't get published in the first place. Ie the Biden laptop stuff
I think there's a reason why a new sensor suite is rumoured to be imminent. Much better cameras + radar? Key word being "Project Highland".

It won't be a retrofit for older cars, which tells me current owners won't get to experience that next generation on FSD which will be possible.

I never bought mine (Ryzen '22 LR3 with earlier gen radar, now disabled, plus USS - still in use fortunately) for the FSD anyway so I don't mind. I won't blame those who might do though! (This is presently all speculation/rumours until officially confirmed).
The first bit is interesting. I really didn't get excited about math until I had a TI89, and then I was obsessed with reverse engineering it. Eventually, I would build my own computer algebra system while doing math grad school.
Not to overly denigrate some of the more pessimistic reply here, I have to say that my Gemini was easily one of the best computers (not just phone) I ever had.

The keyboard was fantastic (better than the much larger GPD Pocket 1 that I also got at the same time), and with a fully-fleshed out termux install, I ended up coding on that thing far more than I probably should have.

Yes, Planet Computers have a very poor record on delivering machines (still waiting for my Astro Slide), but the hardware, when done right (Planet again are poor when it comes to QA, which might explain some of the other responses), is great.

I think the keyboard designer (who also did the original Psuon 5 keyboards, back in the day - I had one of those also), is really an idiot for letting his design be run into the ground by the sheer business incomptence that is Planet Computers. He should team up with a company that CAN deliver, then more could see that the great Psion5 isn't really dead

Listening for cars in fog is great until a Prius comes along, and coastal areas of California is their natural habitat. But, yeah, if I had extra senses laying around, I'd use them for all sorts of things.
Pretty sure you do - any indication that even regular auto-steer+ACC is engaged during a fatal incident is cause to sound the alarm bells and put out a headline for "Tesla Autopilot killed this person!". The first fatal accident involving FSD Beta is going to be a multi-week long charade of media attention and pressure on regulators to exclaim "despite this being 5x safer, you must gate this until it's literally infallible".
> And too angry to understand what everyone is saying to you.

Just gonna jump in here and say, I was not angry in this post. So that's just a wrong assessment...

> You are too young to know any better.

I don't know how old you are, but if your argument depends on me being in a specific age range, I'm going to guess you're too conceited to have an actual conversation with. In practice, I think the signs of this were there from the start but I engaged anyways, so that's my bad. But uhh, stop being rude on the internet? It sounds like you should know better for however old you might be...
OnlyFans?
I think the one big perk I would like from being very rich is being able to fly by private jet.

Being able to drive up the aircraft right before takeoff without having to worry about tickets and security screenings and delays and gate changes would make travel so much nicer.
I used to develop for CNC systems, and those responded to sensor trips within microseconds. The computers involved were realtime systems. If everything wasn't that fast, the machines would have demolished themselves. A human pulling a lever would have been 500,000x too slow.
> Then why make a fancy landing page instead of just linking to the paper?

Because it's worked for the longest time.

Even a year ago, Google was percieved as being so far ahead. These little papers with their landing pages were like sneek peaks into the advanced tech behind the scenes. It's marketing that brought hype to Google's brand and we were all excited for it because none of the big movers felt enough pressure to actually put stuff out so we were all excited about the possibilities.
Could also be aware of the position of fixed road equipment via mapping software. It's more plausible than the cameras having some kind of super vision.
How do people keep up with the progress in AI? I for one feel completely befuddled by it and have no idea where to even start, let alone keep up with progress. Any suggestions as to where one can get concise updates on the state of AI?

Is this the article you’re talking about? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/17/magazine/tesla-autopilot-...

The “totaled car” was a 2015 Model S which would have been running MobilEye software, not FSD. Stirring up hysteria is a classic tactic that news sites use to generate revenue. Always look at the title of the page. When you see something like “New York Time Magazine” there’s a good chance what you’re reading is not actually a reputable NYT article.

The argument is that you know what you're buying, full stop. It doesn't matter what's being advertised, unless you intend to sue for false advertising, in which your best bet is to lie the whole time and say that you based your purchase entirely off of the advertising.
So it’s the tech bro equivalent of jumping into a mountain stream to cool off

As all things in this world, school has changed. I bailed out of high school with a GED because I was skipping so many classes, I was going to fail. I went into college for a short while (Architect), but the lure of employment and the wages that came with it were stronger.

After working a few jobs in Silicon Valley, I built an IT business in Santa Cruz, CA and have now ran it for about 30 years. I took any job that I found something in it I wanted to learn. I wrote database software, installed wiring, servers, eventually telephone systems, security cameras...

Now I work part time in a very rural part of coastal Northern California. I have signed up for and completed quite a few remote education-type courses, I study whatever subject interests me.

So my poor schooling, going from an almost straight-A to almost flunking out entirely had little impact, and now I school myself to my desire.

Do what you want to do, and just go for it. And forget what other people tell you, that is them, you are you :)
