> It is a complete Black Box to them.

If you think it's a black box to the Tesla drivers, how is it not a black box to the Waymo customers in the back seat of these cars? Or how are you evaluating Tesla vs Waymo if not by how how humans subjectively feel each system is performing?

If you mean to the teams, you cannot assume that Waymo's systems are any less of a black box than Tesla's systems. And even then, they're not much of a black box at all, besides the actual object detection, as both Waymo and Tesla still have most decision-making in regular logic-based code, not machine learning algorithms; and when they do, such as with "do I need to get over now to make the next turn", it's still fed back into the "business logic" that decides what to do and thus logged and audited when it's sent back to HQ.
I find it quite unfair to blame Android for this. In the provided screenshots we can see that the OS actually deals quite well with screen size, the problem is the trend of making up for lack of UI & UX design skills with copious amounts of whitespace.

App developers could spend time actually designing an efficient UI that allows you to get things done and displays information well, but that would take effort and ultimately detract from their primary purpose which is "engagement" - higher information density (enabled by taking advantage of larger screen sizes) would actually be counter-productive to this purpose if it makes you accomplish your tasks faster and thus "engage" less.
> FSD is arguably better than both cohorts, considering number of deaths caused.

I'm skeptical of any digital technology use case where the analogies/comparisons tend to be:

a) to non-digital things, when there are perfectly decent digital comparisons to be made (e.g., autopilot in the airline industry)

b) to conspicuous non-digital things, here drunk or inattentive humans

c) more or less a $small-human-scale-X improvement on the performance/efficiency/safety of the non-digital thing, often implying a future $unspecified-X improvement that, say, Moore's law would suggest (not saying you're doing the latter here, btw)

Those last two especially. I'm just imagining someone hawking a newfangled realtime audio system, claiming that it outperforms hand-punching a player-piano score. It's a silly example for sure; but on a regular basis on HN I read how Bitcoin is no worse than fiat in terms of global energy use, how crypto scam rates are roughly equivalent to wildcat banks in the old west (and hey, we eventually improved on those, so...), and how many more humans cause car deaths than these intractable systems which are "arguably" better than drunks.
I am thinking to start trying it myself. You can build useful code and put it on sale. Check CodeCanyon for ideas and inspiration.

Not adding much except maybe a tiny signal boost: capture.

Capture is the root of all evil in the way that various ancient/sacred texts said that “money is the root of all evil”.

President Truman was so poorly compensated by capture that they both increased the salary and created a pension because of how embarrassing it was that a President suffered personal financial hardship.

We don’t worry about that sort of thing these days.
Woz's software is fun to read if you like 6502 assembly. Wozmon and Apple II Integer BASIC are great, but my favorite is Sweet16. It's a 6502 program that implements a virtual 16-bit CPU in about 300 bytes. It's a step between the tedious 8-bit limitations of the 6502 and and a fully interpreted environment like BASIC and was part of the Apple II ROMs. Nobody really wanted a slower ML or a more difficult, faster BASIC but it's a brilliant bit of code.
He probably was referring to the difficulty of proving the use of LLMs by the regulatory organization.

I'd love to see something like this (hopefully smaller scale) used for maritime power. Power shipping itself with some semi-roving large power stores.

Assuming there's an electrified fleet worth serving seeming like a big challenge. It might probably need to be a bit more modestly sized/scoped. But this idea of large mobile batteries keeps being interesting to me.
Can I still buy one? I don't mean some kind of box file nonsense. I want a small wooden device which will sit on my desk, as per the advert shown at the bottom of https://isabellaalden.com/tag/frank-smiths-office-tickler/. This would be so much more efficient than the inferior software solutions I put up with.

Your criticism seems to suggest a standard for journalism that no outlets would possibly reach.
Read the link:

> And so far, Fund and von Spakovsky report, 177 people have been convicted -- not just accused, but convicted -- of voting fraudulently in the Senate race. Another 66 are awaiting trial. "The numbers aren't greater," the authors say, "because the standard for convicting someone of voter fraud in Minnesota is that they must have been both ineligible, and 'knowingly' voted unlawfully." The accused can get off by claiming not to have known they did anything wrong.

This is what I mean with the last part of my argument. Lidar is supposedly an extremely thorough 3d depth map hopefully capturing at hundreds or thousands of FPS. But even if you have this data, the actual bulk of the problem with current self-driving isn't solved, that being the "business logic" for how to navigate the world smoothly and efficiently and to 'communicate' with other road users.
I wonder if there is some recency bias in how AI is viewed with regards to the letter or recommendation. Sure, recently, writing a letter of recommendation is setting time on fire (unless like some others have mentioned, the professor makes the student write it). However, say in the 1950's or 1960's, the professor would write a recommendation letter probably just by telling a brief summary to their secretary who would type it up immaculately on department letterhead and mail it off.

Maybe, ChatGPT is return of the personal secretary not just for the elite, but for the masses.

Fwiw, the quote is actually “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.”

Essentially greed. If you really boil the root of evil down to its base, I think you’ll find pride is the true root. IMO pride is the root of greed itself too.
Most laws and regulations don't apply to everyone, they only apply to particular people and agencies. You really only need to know the ones that pertain to you. And while this is still a long list, behaving in a considerate manner works to avoid breaking many of them. For those with peculiar circumstances (such as owning a business or renting or selling property) there are specialists who can let you know in real time what your obligations are.
It does seem awfully strange to talk about "the death of self-driving cars" when they haven't actually arrived yet!
I wonder how hard it'd be to build neutral buoyancy power cables that could float significantly above the seafloor. Of course you're still going to get wrecked by trawlers & anchors, potentially. UT man, I just have such a hard time seeing this as comparatively competitive.
Also, humans and other animals that rely on vision have eyelids and tear ducts and are able to blink and get stuff out of an eye.

Poor, poor Tesla cameras freak out as soon as the sunshine is too bright or there's snow or rain or ice or mud in the way. You'd think if they're going to rely on vision, every camera mounted on the car would have a way to "squint" in blinding-light conditions, or "wipe" the lens or something when smudges, rain, snow, ice, mud, or bug-splat blocks the view. But then, Tesla is insanely cheap, and all that would require parts, and that would impact margins, and that would impact stock price, and so, this is why we can't have nice things ....

> The purpose of

GP comment was writing about "the result" of, not "the purpose of".
You're asking what prevents straw purchases. Same thing that prevents straw purchases for alcohol and tobacco. Plus once it's the norm to not have kids on social networks there will be greater societal enforcement, just like with smoking and drinking.

There's no database of alcohol or tobacco buyers. The sales clerk just checks your id and forgets about it. It's a code good for use on exactly one account on one service, and expires in maybe a year. If you have multiple accounts on multiple services, buy separate codes for each one. They should be reasonably priced - no more than $5 each.

You don't need a perfect solution. Despite laws against underage drinking, smoking, and drug use it still happens.
AMD's EPYC Rome Chips Crash After 1,044 Days of Uptime

So do it without the log. There's no log of alcohol and tobacco buyers, and also no need for "audits" there. Have some undercover inspectors do spot checks to make sure all retailers are checking ID. Fail the test, lose your license.
Sources say 13.7 MWh of energy per ton of LNG. This is in BTUs so at 60% efficiency of a fairly modern gas plant would yield 8.2MWh of electricity generation potential per ton. The largest LNG carrier carries over 80,000 tons of LNG https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_carrier

So that would work out to 656 GWh of electric generation potential for a full load of the largest LNG carrier. More than 2000x the capacity of the battery carrier.
That was terrible writing.
I am sympathetic to this view (I would really love to see just how safe it’s possible to get), but I think the Musk/Karpathy-style argument for vision-only self-driving is quite strong, and it only seems flawed because it has been incorrectly simplified as “humans do driving with ~only vision -> computers should do driving with only vision”.

The proper argument is “humans do driving with ~only vision -> roads are therefore universally designed and built to be driven via by vision -> computers should do driving with only vision”. It is essentially a standards-based argument: since vision is the universal standard for driving, computers must be able to drive using just vision.

So vision is always going to be the core of self-driving. Why not augment with LIDAR anyway?

Well, in situations where vision and LIDAR are both right, you didn’t need LIDAR; in situations where vision is right and LIDAR is wrong, you didn’t need LIDAR and it potentially made you worse off; in situations where vision is wrong and LIDAR is right, you need to spend more on improving your vision; and in situations where both vision and LIDAR are wrong, you need to spend more on improving both, but improving vision is a higher priority. These are all the possible outcomes and none of them make a compelling case for investing in LIDAR.
For starters they could display media like videos in ways that aren’t possible (or much harder) to do on the Web, that alone could be huge for the core user base that just wants to look at pictures and videos. Presumably some users would prefer the app because you’re always signed in. You could configure it to send you push notifications for replies or something. They could probably figure out a better way to render deeply nested comment threads too - basically make the experience smoother without pageloads or visual clutter, which some users might like.

Any sort of game or seasonal “interesting” thing like /r/place could very well be mobile-only

At the very least, they can get the default mobile version to a good state, remove all the artificial blockers and nags they’ve put in place, set it to maintenance mode from a product perspective, then only add UX improvements and new features to the mobile apps. The problem is they don’t even seem to make UX improvements most of the time… just UX annoyances

If you include the costs of pollution and climate change, I'm sure the "total value" of the extracted oil is well in the negative.

No, there will always come a point where the cost to shutdown exceeds future profits. At some point, it will cost more to tear down a windmill than its future profits. Because that ignores all the profits before that point, which is why we're still building new ones.

It helps that the “upper class” is mostly faux, and driven by fashion more than anything innate.

Zuckerberg is not upper class in the classical sense. He doesn’t have the resources or molding to truly be able to fuck off, live in the woods in a centuries-old mansion, rolling in debauchery and in complete disassociation from humanity.

I.e. if you know about them, they’re not upper class, but very high upper middle class (they still “work” and participate in vulgar activities like business, rather than utterly “worthless” activities that are driven by innate desire, not glorified peer pressure).

Mitt Romney is upper middle class. The Bushes are upper middle class. The Sacklers, the Clintons, the Kochs, Buffett, Gates, the Siemens, the Onassis’, the Waltons — all relatively new players, and haven’t yet been aged by centuries of absolute apathy and detachment. Ellison is definitely getting there.

I think the biggest difference between him and the rest are upbringing. Ellison was not raised upper middle class, and had little regard for his family and circle. He did not have countless other upper middle class people around him in his formative years to mold his soul into conforming with upper middle class sensibilities (make money, gain influence, be interesting, important, play the image game, etc.). And now he’s fucked off to Lanai.

The only thing that man values is himself and his capricious desires — that is what the upper class is. There is no internal need within him to conform to external pressures. The man is a cunt.

What about the rest of the list? They grew up in relative affluence, and the upper middle class sensibilities have been imprinted onto them. To use a pop-culture example, none of them are Logan Roys. They care how people view them — especially their intimates. They might feign thoughtless excellence, but deep down they’re driven by the external forces that molded them.

If there’s any amusing note it’s that the true upper class has more in common with the lower class than it does with the middle. The middle lives on lies and self-deceptions, while the upper and lower only care about themselves and their authentic desires.

For example, compare Roedean to Philips Exeter. The people are utterly different — and the wealth and money is but a surface measure.

Waymo customers in the back seats of cars are not testers or operators; they are cargo. These are fundamentally different roles with fundamentally different requirements with respect to the safety lifecycle.
Another benefit could be to have extremely fast lanes instead of more packed-together lanes. With good enough coordination, or a block zone system like trains[/roller coaster trains], you could achieve >120mph cruising. With both of these possibilities though, the requirements are generally that the car completely takes over driving with no way for the human to assume manual control to break the system or otherwise create an unsafe situation for other road users.
Because HN allows only text format, it's a very simple site by design.

Scripted Prompting of LLMs Using LMQL
> Here, you have entities storing unsecured funds and doing god knows what with it.

Your first mistake is assuming that when you transfer, say, USD $500 into your Paypal (or Venmo or...) account, your Paypal account now holds USD $500. Rather, you are effectively exchanging USD $500 for Paypal bucks. When you transfer your Paypal bucks back out to a bank account, you are effectively purchasing fiat currency with your Paypal bucks.

That Paypal shows your balance in USD (or whatever currency you use) is misleading; it's similar to a mutual fund balance which shows the current value of your shares in USD. You don't actually own USD $500; you own 500 Paypal bucks which have a current theoretical value of USD $500, and are thus not subject to banking regulations.

I'm not saying this is good, or that it should be this way, but rather that's effectively how it works.

Now, can somebody tell me why banking regulations don't apply to my airline miles? After all, I've earned them and they are theoretically worth USD, so shouldn't they be protected?

Sounds good. Content that nobody reads might as well be content that nobody writes.

At a certain point, of course, the perfect prompt will itself take quite some time to write. If you want your writing to actually contain specific content, AI might be less helpful, except as a way of making your writing sound more eloquent. But if you don't care about saying anything meaningful, as is all too often the case, you might as well let the AI do it for you.

The almanac is not needed. The ephemeris is basically just almanac orbital data plus extra terms to make it accurate enough for meter-level positioning or better.

> we abuse the system when we use our status as industry participants and become citizen journalists

Agreed. This includes not making statements like your previous one about "journalistic ethics". Consider this: If your now removed post had been containing the same information but based on a separate conversation with their ex-partner, with their consent to publish, would that had made it less problematic? Without having read the post, I imagine it wouldn't. So it turns out that there's more to it.

I'm not saying these posts aren't problematic, nor that journalists lack ethics. I am saying that "private conversations are private" is oversimplifying the matter and not part of journalistic ethics in the general. You're making references to professional code you lack qualifications for.

Consider medicine. Let's say Alex is visiting a sick family member. Alex has no medical training. They bring some drugs which later turn out to cause even worse health issues. "Medical ethics" isn't a useful framing for discussing that situation IMO, for similar reasons.
I agree. I would also prefer the original, but I couldn’t make it fit.
So are we just as much in the dark about how much progress Waymo could be making? given "Videos and personal experiences can only reveal safety issues, never positive progress" is the argument and yet Waymo doesn't exactly give us access to their bigquery to perform our own qualitative analysis.
