I'm unable to ascertain if you're being intentionally obtuse or merely unable to follow how analogies work.
I don't think this is a devtools* replacement or a significant enough "game changer", this is just a different way to interact with CSS. Devtools reveals both the HTML & CSS (as well as the cascading rules that comprise what I'm seeing). Devtools let's me introspect & debug why what I'm seeing as it's happening with CSS in conjunction with HTML & possible HTML changes caused by JavaScript events or pointer-events, for example. I like that this tool could make looking at the parsed & rendered code in a browser window easy to "see" & maybe copy. But for a small part of what devtools does this really is expensive. More expensive than most other apps I use. More expensive than GPT+ plus. More than the cost of hosting my site on DigitalOcean or AWS.

If this were a truly must have app & I could get past the price, I'd enjoy it with the concern that most features could be incorporated into devtools directly, by browser makers or by other extensions that expand what devtools can do, although many features of this tool already can be achieved. In fact, I think that's the real missing feature in this service: it could be an web extension for augmenting CSS work devtools.

Lastly, what if the price started at $15/month and for every 250,000 (maybe less, maybe more) new users everyone's price was dropped by a $0.50/month but could never drop below $3/month. By the time the price hits $5/month there are at least 5 million subscribers ... (with no annual plans & no life time bananas plan) that seems pretty good.

* devtools is pretty awesome & pretty consistent in every browser.

(Oh, and I'm super cheap, too.)
The pinout design is nice, but I'm almost more impressed by the favicon – its very clever and looks great (I noticed it when bookmarking the site).
It's like those pentalobe security screws. Nobody thinks they'll stop a determined attempt to disassemble a product, but they're a signal that you're not meant to pull it apart. Then when you do, and you break it, they can point to the screws and say "well clearly you should have known not to do that."
What are you talking about? Humans are shockingly good drivers. It is a average of ~80,000,000 miles, or ~5,000 years of regular driving between fatalitys and that includes the motorcyclists, drunks, and people who do not wear their seatbelts who account for ~70% of all deaths if I recall correctly. If you are a average driver who does not drive drunk and who wears your seatbelt and you started driving when agriculture was invented you would not be expected to have gotten into a fatal accident yet.

Anybody who says humans are bad drivers is almost certainly underestimating the difficulty of replacing humans by a factor of 1000x.
> they’re already testing it in Phoenix and San Francisco

It's not dead, it's just extremely niche. Try testing in the sticks in country roads in England. Most people from the US who try that for the first time are terrified, and that's not even the worst of it, roads world wide are complex, diverse and require immense adaptability and negotiation. Negotiation of large, well defined city roads is only progress towards that niche not arbitrary self driving ability.
Agreed, we need larger denomination notes to keep cash usable. Despite decades of inflation the largest notes printed are $100 and it has been that way since 1969. Even $500 note doesn't get us back to buying power parity (it's about $800 btw).
> on a military front the dispersal mechanisms more or less ensured that both sides of the conflict would end up infected

This would be fine if you fired them far behind the front. The problem is chemical weapons “are less effective than an equivalent [mass] of conventional, high explosive munitions (or, at levels of extreme escalation, tactical and strategic nuclear weapons)” [1]. That’s why the only folks who deploy them anymore are those without modern militaries fighting non-modern adversaries.

hmm.. that 'rehearsing' isn't thinking? I know people who thing about every word, the phrase and re-phrase, select the best sounding. Do you think they still don't think in language? They even write their thoughts down and sell as a books.
If you think about Reddit as each of its subreddits being little islands, each island has a timeline of user posts, each post has a tree of comments, and there are moderators who enforce the rules of that island.

To me that starts to sound a lot like each subreddit could be replicated as an instance of something like Mastodon, and you're really only some kind of shared user database away from being able to make something that functions exactly like Reddit, but without any corporate control.
their argument is specious; i suspect the actual reason is “lidar/other sensor system components are expensive or hard to acquire”.
That’s like saying “if cooking is just following directions in a recipe, we should just follow directions in a recipe.”

The result is subpar food because most recipes have a 1% problem called “seasoning”.

The “seasoning” of driving — the completely unpredictable and intuiting 1% of situations you find yourself behind the wheel where you just have to draw on your intuition and gut instinct — are the reason we need nothing short of AGI for _completely_ self driving vehicles.

I do think, though, trucking is ripe for AI disruption.
By your standards you can never deploy any FSD system anywhere, because such a system cannot be proven safe without deploying it.

You could do extensive closed-course testing with realistic conditions and then pay to have human drivers watching & ready to take over at any time. The problem is that this costs money and takes time, and Tesla was hoping not to do either.

> the CPP and China only fucked their own people

The Nazis thought they were fucking their own people. Every oppressive power uses this excuse.
Yet they allow human beings on public roads killing unwilling participants. There seems to be a two tier system at play - unaided humans killing thousands upon thousands to the extent it’s normal vs humans using a tool incorrectly and killing … a handful?

My experience with FSD is it’s a terrible autonomous system and anyone who uses it as such is a fool, and a fool with a car is dangerous no matter what. However the joint probability of my driving awareness and skill and the cars combined is greater than mine alone. I’ve had it suddenly brake when a car I didn’t notice was drifting into my lane and had it not I would have been in an accident. Likewise it made mistakes and I took control.

I personally don’t care if it ever is able to take me from point A to point B without my attention or assistance. I value its ability to navigate with my assistance especially on long trips, reducing my overall fatigue and taking me through confusing sections of urban interstate without errors - when I always make a wrong turn. The fact it’s 360 aware and I’m not and it’s indefatigable and I’m not is valuable.

In the last year it’s become remarkably more capable. I don’t know if they can continue this rate of improvement but if they can it’s about as good as I would expect from todays technology on a consumer car. That’s a decent bar for me. I think it’s also something valuable on the roads - as a driver assistance tool. The folks who turn it on and get in the backseat would do something just as bone headed without FSD. Rather I notice enormous number of Tesla cars on the road not being drive by total idiots, and presumably quite a few using FSD without issue. And, as I assert above, I believe the joint probability of the aware driver with FSD having an accident is lower than either alone.

I don’t care what hyperbole a bipolar nut job spouts, but I do appreciate him setting an unreasonable goal and failing halfway there while the rest of the world seems content with stagnating. Tesla created the EV movement in the mainstream, SpaceX created the space revival we are experiencing.

Fwiw, I think the choking on billionaire boots comment is not a particularly high value contribution.

Isn't the typical training data used in self-driving basically things like object labeling/segmentation and motion prediction? I'm not sure why that would be significantly different for visual vs depth-map data.

I've never used love. It's certainly difficult if you're going with portability, and then add to that backwards compatibility.

I've talked about this before, but I think the only way to do versioning is the way everyone does it nowadays. Have a directory, with a wrapper around the dvcs/(Commits/ Tags/) and then a subdirectory for a "git workingset", And then you Import("url",{tag="",commit="",req="x.y.z"}), it should be fast because you're just doing io.open($REPOHOME/$URL/TAG/$TAG/$COMMIT/x/y/z) which just gets dropped to require() as normal. of course, add LÖVE to the mix and I just don't know. love should have mandatorily a love-VERSION as the command.
So many armchair opinions here about Tesla FSD. It drove me 175 miles today from a dense and complicated city to a distant destination without me intervening once. Reading the comments here you’d think it’s completely smoke and mirrors.
I still think that saying "Tesla chose to kill people by shipping a low quality system." is a strong allegation. I don't think it's reasonable to speak with that kind of certainty about an unknown. If your other comment is correct, that's a shame that they haven't been required to make that data public.

That’s a great example of something that could be optimized without impacting the user experience. For example, just request the next page of posts when the user starts to reach the bottom. The reason for my confidence is that I’ve worked with Reddit’s API before and I know exactly where the pitfalls are.
He is a tremendous musician, but how can he fit with the likes of Bach or Stravinsky? These are just two while the genius of European classical music is large. Williams may be the greatest popular culture composer of all time but how can we say he has the intellectual fervor or a wide enough palette of musical command that the greats displayed? There were classical musicians in history who were relegated to the "inferior" realm of being populists (Satie) simply because they favored accessibility and simple enjoyment over intellectual concerns. I think there is a degree of sophistication in the greats not present in Williams that separates him as a populist which philosophically may be in conflict with the aspirations of "fine art", "art for the sake of art", or evolving an entire traditional canon forward. In this sense, Williams is not so much a participant in it, as he is somebody who decided to focus on something else in his day and age, the cinema. I am not arguing this is aesthetically justified, but I cannot imagine Williams creating piano solos like Prokofiev or challenging an entire historical conception of music a la Schoenberg, etc. I may be ignorant because I have only listened to Williams' music from movies. Just because I have not seen fine art pieces from him does not mean they do not exist. It is also possible Williams' will be slowly brought into the classical realm in future generations as composers reach their greatness in the eyes of society after they've perished.

The % of total English driving that occurs on country roads is miniscule. That's the niche* usecase. The vast majority of driving occurs in sub/urban areas. The rate of driving even within the city of London/Manchester/Cambridge is dropping like a rock.

If you solve the 80% of that use case, you still have most of the thing, and that seems close.
A simple reasonable way is that you have to pay a subscription to Reddit to use a third party app. The app maker would then just have to charge enough to make a profit for their time spent creating and supporting the app.

The parent comment is talking about the presentation, too, not just the content.

This situation is more like if all of the radio stations were owned by the same company, were all jam-packed with the same crappy advertisements, and it was quickly becoming evident that the only way to listen to any of the stations would be through the crappy radio offered directly by the company.
> As a result, they eliminated timed, scheduled transfers at a major merge point in Queens which many riders relied on to switch trains in a quick, efficient way.

I’ve often argued that anyone responsible for public transit schedules that doesn’t work out a system of timed transfers should be summarily fired. (Unless trains run more frequently than once every 5 minutes.)

Over here in the SF bay area, we have approximately 12 transit agencies, and none perform timed transfers with each other, so the vast majority of reachable destinations involve at least one 30 min - 2 hour transfer (assuming the stations of the two systems actually connect — they are often a half mile or so apart).
I don't guess you're keeping up with things like tree of thought chaining in things like GPT-4 and 'show your work' RLHF that are occurring now. Straight LLM answers are like a single thought in our head without any follow up and reflection on if it's correct. As you say, when performing mental work we rarely accept the first thought on something without additional thought on why it's right or wrong.
Google did it, so that argument is moot.
It may be impossible to have a situation where a for-profit company makes a service where the users are not the paying customers and users are treated well indefinitely. Reddit has experimented with a paid premium service, but they couldn't paywall any core functionality because having as many users as they can get is critical to their success.

It's probably a mistake to rely on things like that for socialization, communication, or creating communities. I would like to see federated technologies take off; there are at least two Reddit-alikes using ActivityPub, Kbin and Lemmy, which seem to federate with each other smoothly. They're currently much farther from critical mass than Mastodon (though they sort of federate with that too).
I think of companies asking for regulation as a bit less of "hold me back!" and "we're getting to a cliff where there's a lot of good stuff at the top, but we all need to stop before we fall off it and I don't trust everyone else to stop in time!"

Regulatory capture is a thing, but so are perverse incentives and multipolar traps.

> FSD was harder than anyone suspected

Literally the only thing most people know about FSD is that it is hard. This is very on brand for Elon:

1. Claim something is super simple and easy

2. Get billion dollar contracts for vaporware

3. Fail to actually achieve anything remotely useful

4. Go silent

see: The Boring Company, Hyperloop, FSD, etc...

Big doubt on that one, I'm sorry, but it's almost certainly false.
My school assigned classes automatically, but you could dial into a serial terminal to try to change classes. Obviously all of the good classes filled up fast so I wrote an Expect script that polled each class I wanted every 15 minutes and signed up if there was room. I managed to get into every class I wanted in my Senior year despite one semester getting an initial class schedule that was blank save for one class due the school's RNG hating on me.

A good supervised learning process requires teaching humans to label consistently.

Imagine trying to write down precise instructions to train hundreds or thousands of humans to label many different types of objects using a tool like the above. Now hire, train, and manage those humans.

Compare that to having the humans draw rectangles around 2d color pictures of cars.

Also note that such tools need to be built and improved.
> costing the company too much in wasted time and pay

If this happens it's not occasional and would be better addressed on a case by case basis.

> Blame the few arseholes that ruin everything for the rest of us.

In light of the added ~1 day/person-year of absence from a permissive self-certification process suggested by the Cochrane review I added in the edit, I would say we just call this the marginal cost of doing business instead of ruining it for everyone.

Especially considering the people impacted by such draconian policies tend to be low-wage hourly workers, the added cost would be a rounding error but as a consumer I'd also happily pay the extra ~0.3% so people can take sick days.

I would also wager that the improved wellness and morale from being treated with a modicum of respect and decency would result in productivity benefits and savings that outweigh the 0-2 extra missed days a year.

If Tesla had an adequate safety record, they would back their claims by offering liability insurance when self driving is enabled.

I’m sympathetic to your points and have heard all the horror stories about FAANG hiring practices, but again: if you don’t want to go through the interview process, go for an ordinary job that doesn’t pay through the nose. Sure, they have stack ranking, but they also deliver compensation packages that essentially guarantee a wealthy, comfortable lifestyle.

Most tech jobs are not in FAANG.

> If you say "I need to spend a day doing work things on a company's terms for a potential deal which would benefit the company a lot, and I want to be paid for my time and effort" that's ... not entitlement.

I frankly don’t find it plausible that the work being done in a day or two during the interview process is valuable labor. Who is going to deploy that code and make it production ready? How would you even organise and plan that work? Is an engineer opening a PR internally with the interview code or something?

> Healthcare is tied to employment, which is in the company's interest and against the employee's interest because it makes leaving harder for the employee but does not affect firing or redundancy for the employer.

> If you set it any in-between scale (such as 150% or 300%) then you will have display artifacts, such as horizontal lines appearing to have different widths when they are all in fact set to 1px.

This is only true with the approach macOS takes. When set to 150% on macOS the app renders at 200% and the compositor downscales. On Windows however there is no downscaling: the app renders directly at 150% thus avoiding any artifacts.
