That wasn't the standard presented in parent comment:

> As FSD is a safety-critical product, the burden of proof is on Tesla to prove in a verifiable way to third partys that it is safe. Absent that, it is assumed to be unsafe. So, no, it is the weakest allegation possible and the default assumption.

And what you are talking about in this comment is quite different. Please don't move the goal post (or actually, sure, safety certification makes much more sense than verifiable safety).
Retraction Note: Circ_001504 Promotes Renal Cell Carcinoma via Dubious Data
"Best practices" is always bullshit, man. It's a marketing term, not an engineering or a science term. Any practice is bad or good based on the context and purpose for which it is applied.

That's the spirit in which I used the term. In plain English: you can correctly apply certain practices that are famously powerful and acceptable, while subtly undermining them in a way people might not notice, or would happily pretend not to notice if the study fits with their political position on the matter.
This is written by a PR guy, so it only touches the surface. For example, the Voyager bot for Minecraft relies on a set of pre-programmed skills, and ChatGPT only chooses one of them. In an open-world sandbox game, which has no goals at all, doing anything is correct, so whatever ChatGPT chooses is correct. Only thing that's great is that you can write some "code" in natural language.
I am curious. Doesn't a cold shower really serve the purpose? Is it really have to be a plunge? What's the sciebtific reason?
I use netcat for this. Is telnet better somehow?
Because amendments are very difficult to pass. It took more than 200 years to ratify the most recent amendment.
I agree with much of what you say here, but what could they really do to make the app that appealing without the Web site sucking?
I'm starting to think this may be the Great Filter.

Get a system rolling that allows real costs to be ignored, then combine that with technological advancement that allows for planetary-scale damage and maybe it becomes inevitable that nascent Type I civilizations go back to banging rocks together, at best. It's the same result you get from an uncontrolled paper-clip maximizer, just with a lot more moving parts and flourishes.
Careful, or you'll get a social media account that documents your plane's location, or have people without private planes shame you about your contribution to global warming. But if you have that kind of money, you can just pay someone to then create some PR campaign that shows you doing "good" for other causes to make people not care about the other things
You come across like someone from r/iamverysmart. Take a step back and understand that nobody can really “know” for certain what thought actually is, because it’s exactly like trying to understand consciousness, which is the biggest mystery of all.
It's not the first time I'm seeing this and, having worked at places that have mobile apps and a ton of UGC, this is as illogical as things get.

Mobile apps go into stores. App stores (especially the Apple app store) have many rules about UGC in apps. Including rules that may be incompatible with ToS of your service. Like the rule saying that NSFW content must not exist.

On your website, on the other hand, you're the king. You set your own rules. There's no one to tell you what can and can't be done unless you're breaking laws so hard some government notices.

So by virtue of that, there's usually LESS content available in the app than on the website. This, though? You have to look at this content in the app BECAUSE it is unreviewed? This is bonkers. This is completely backwards to everything my own experience tells me.

This is just a lame excuse to make you install the app.
One may count and add things correctly, but one may count things that are not connected or double count items. That's the kind of thing people fudge when trying to convince people one way or another. They usually don't outright make things up.
keep seeing that stat and wonder 1. What it would look like if governments weren’t literally paying people thousands to buy these cars 2. What it would look like if you counted all of the models on the same platform for other manufacturers.

If you compare the Model Y to the Corolla it outsells it. If you compare the Model Y to every car that is built on a Toyota B chassis (Corolla chassis) it blows Tesla out of the water. The B chassis alone has 10 different models, 9 of which aren’t Corollas. In other words, is a “JPN taxi” model that looks like a Corolla and has the same parts a as a Corolla not a Corolla?
Can confirm, as my first Psion was the Paion II, a calculator formfactor device with full keyboard and OPL programming language.

My later Psion 5 ended up spending most of its time running a zx spectrum emulator - go figure :-)
I was thinking the same; it feels the acceptance rate is a bit low, but maybe not… I wonder what the numbers are for Copilot?
> Are there people who actually believe that they think "in language"?

Yes, there are people who believe that thought is language (and not just inner dialogue as you mention in this thread). That without ideas formed in language as a precursor they wouldn't be able to think about those ideas, and that they do this thinking through the internal manipulation of other words.

I'm not quite sure what it's about as I'm not one of them, but they exist.
Of course they can. Fog doesn't block mid-IR.
Electrostatics shouldn't need magnets. The very name implies that; magnets have no appreciable effect on static charges.

Did you maybe mean transformers? IIRC electrostatics use rather high voltages.
No, I think that's pretty reasonable framework for any relationship.

TBC, I'm still friends with the person, probably because I never respected them for their commitment to others in a romantic relationship in the first place. I also don't have any strong feelings to uphold monogamy, so I definitely need to have an expectation that someone cares about monogamy before that's something I will judge them against. While I think this person definitely subscribed to the cultural norm around monogamy, nothing about their personality told me they were invested in it.

Looking at it through your framework of respect, I didn't feel like they lost my respect for cheating on their romantic partner, because I didn't really respect them enough in the first place to think they wouldn't. :D

It definitely wouldn't be how I would approach respect for a romantic relationship, but I also would just never be in a romantic relationship with the kind of person that I hold in such low regards.

You’re super welcome for the recommendation. Been taking it and it’s been good so far. Another one I came across is Tribulus and it seems like the NIH has good things to say about it but the Wikipedia entry for it has it backwards so I’m making it my homework to go over the NIG studies before suggesting edits.

Here’s a link: https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/providers/digest/dietary-su...

Now back to IMDB…it really saddens me to see communities build really elaborate software around these websites just to have the rug pulled out from under them and turn their efforts into monoliths of nothing. We’ve had decentralized forums since the days of BBS’ (Usenet), spent 3 decades pouring knowledge into branded communities just to end up locked out of them and are now finally going full circle back into federated platforms.

I hope the momentum sticks because now we have the potential to democratize and open source AI but that’s only possible if the zeitgeist isn’t paywalled. I’ve heard rumors that Reddit execs feel miffed about not turning a profit from the recent wave of LLMs because for a lot of people it really is the front page of the internet and lots of information has been poured into it. If that’s the case, then it’s as the old saying goes “good things are often ruined by the few”.
Seriously I have no idea why we don't just fill the sink with sea water. It would get less salty.
should there be a statute of limitations on ecological catastrophe? that seems like it would strongly, and perversely, incentivise cover-ups and other nefarious weaponisations of information asymmetry against the interests of the commons.
We would never know if that happens though.
Domestic rivals? Model Y outsold every other vehicle globally. And it will end as the best-selling vehicle globally in 2023... only 3 years after its launch.

It was a police car, not something fixed. I would imagine that the Tesla has zoom built into its camera system, whereas human vision does not.
I wonder if that regulator realizes that PayPal owns Venmo. Based on the comments, it doesn't seem that anyone here realizes that either.
I also owe much of my BSCS degree and resulting career to this movie.

By the summer of 1983, I had already been programming on my Commodore Vic-20 for over a year, and using the Apple ][+ computers at the high school for a semester, and I had seen computers using Hayes 300 baud modems that were directly connected via an RJ-11 jack. I thought that the stuff I was seeing in that movie was already antiquated and obsolete.

By the summer of 1984, I had my own Apple ][+ computer at home with a Hayes 300 baud modem that was directly connected via an RJ-11 jack, and I was dialing up local BBSes as much as my parents would allow.

By the spring of 1989, I had gotten a job offer to go work in the basement of the Pentagon for what was then the Defense Communications Agency, and in late August I actually got to go start working there. And I got to see the Crisis Action Center floor, which was supposed to be the space that they were simulating in the movie. But the real thing was much less interesting.

But then I also got to see what was called The Chairman's Briefing room, and that was much cooler. They had video conferencing setups that were better than anything I had seen in any movie up to that point.

Ironically, at that stage Colin Powell was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and he hated that room. Much too much space for far too many people. He always held his briefings in much smaller rooms where it was standing room only for the majority of people present (flag officers only), and no one got to bring any of their Aides or other junior officers.
It occurs to me that after all these years of the world using Wiener et al.'s "cyber" terminology in sci-fi to refer to digital connectivity and over-hastily applying the term to internet and web things, the concepts it originally referred to are actually coming into focus just in front of us. We're inescapably stepping into the gritty cyberpunk world for real.
Absolutely true. A lot of emotions on this forum.
Depends on the temperature of the tap water, which varies a lot by place and season.
To clarify, none of the studies you linked to show reversal of myopia in humans. Some of them show a fast-acting (minutes to hours) effect of defocus on small axial length reduction. I don't know what is happening in the eye here (muscular?) but it's obviously not the physical reshaping of the eye's structure required to reverse myopia. The rest of the studies, like I've said, shown that myopia can be slowed, and maybe stopped, but there is no known way to reverse it. It's disgraceful that section is titled "Reversing Myopia".

There is one important study linked in there that I haven't seen before, which I'm guessing the grandparent comment is referring to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23493295/ Assuming this effect isn't the same as the irrelevant short term effect, maybe there's something here. This study is kind of weird as non-standard meta analysis where they didn't do the trials themselves.

It's also important to call out that myopia happens primarily in youth, as the eye continuously grows to find focus. For most people this stops between 20-30 years old. The eye stops growing in response to over-focus. If there is a way to reverse myopia in humans (which there is still no evidence for, even with your link), then it may only be possible in youth, not adulthood, when the eye has stopped growing.
It is only unsafe if the human operator lets it continue in unsafe situations. In a situation where it is taking a right turn at a red light, the only safety issue here would be the possibility of cosmic rays flipping enough bits in such a way that causes the software to instantly trigger full torque into another car, say a 1964 convertible mustang for maximum chance of fatally injuring the other humans.

By your own argument all adaptive cruise control is unsafe. Maybe you think the manual and warnings given to the consumer qualify "defining any operational domain where it can operate safely", but it doesn't give an exhaustive list of "here's where you can safely operate this", it just says to not use it when it's unsafe to do so - it's always "drive safely and take control when necessary" because the scenarios are literally infinite.
it is for precisely not resorting to these dirty tactics that ProPublica is considered the gold standard.
I dunno but Chile exports a ton of copper to China.
You seem to think you're an emotionless robot. And I think I have found that the people who think they are emotionless rational robots, are the must subject to the whims of emotions.

Something to consider working on...
To be fair the system is kinda set up so a small group of people can push their messed up approaches on other doctors. Normal doctors are made to feel like they are bad at their jobs if they don’t do the sick stuff. See lobotomies, “pain is the fifth vital sign,” etc etc.

I think it incredibly vulgar to assume we are so impotent, that we don't have choice in the matter, that we can't govern ourselves to better ends.

There are great awful harms we are walking down the path of, and it's dreadful. But it's such an extreme conservatism to say that the only viably course is back. Society could have a say in shaping the way forward and there are plenty of great paths open before us. But we only get those ends if we can look to the future, versus hearkening only to thr past.

There are so many seas of potential we have, such vast capabilities that embue us with agency & possibility. What lead us to technology? The desire to feed & shelter & cloth ourselves, the desire for health, natural human inquiry about the natural world, a desire for betterment. Greed keeps stealing the reigns, but what folly to wish us back to the woods, to malign the whole effort of civilization because the efforts aren't purely aimed yet. It's cowardice in the extreme, this idolizing of a past over the imminence of the journey forward.
NYC has traffic jams composed entirely of yellow taxis. The self-driving cars at least report to a control center that can spread them out.
The same is true in the US. They are trying in new, car-centric cities where the weather is almost always clear and sunny.

There’s a reason that they aren’t doing this where it snows, or in cities that aren’t giant car-first grids.
I'm not privy to the legit decisions around Teslas tech vs PR that I occasionally run across. Does this mean they are dedicated to only using traditional vision comparable to humans or is that just their focus at the current time? I can appreciate there's only so much tech that can be reliably developed for mass production at a given time but Elon also tends to make some odd choices/statements out of principle.

Agreed, but it's still the best method of determining "good" we've designed as humans.
You can imagine my shock every time the steering wheel nag goes off. You’d think I’d learn by now.
Country roads in England are generally less than two lanes wide, and have a ton of blind curves. Oncoming passes must be coordinated carefully
In court you would be right, in practice it's on JSON. Requiring an arbitrary precision math library to correctly parse JSON is just not going to happen. The only language I know that even does this out of the box is Python with their automagic best numeric type. Even Ruby which is dynamic to a fault only gives arbitrary precision for integers and parses JSON numbers with decimals as floats.
Humans also use inertial sensation, vibration, force feedback through the steering wheel, and their “cameras” are constantly changing their focus and position in space to construct a rich context of the environment.

Now, all of these things except the last one have some representation through an electronic or electromechanical sensor, but gluing them all together into what it takes to deal effectively with the intersection of vehicle dynamics and environmental dynamics is very hard.
Do we really know what the current capabilities are. It would be top secret. It's been decades of research. I would expect many of these issues have been worked around.

I used to think AI was fictional pipe dream. Yet it came to be.

> 1. It's difficult to manufacture biological agents in large quantities.

Yet the covid vaccine was manufactured in huge quantities in short time.

> 2. It's hard to store biological agents for long periods of time, since living things tend to die.

The covid vaccine was kept cold storage of -60, and it was good for 18 months.

>3. It's hard to disperse biological agents over a large area.

This would not be an issue for a respiratory virus, that targets a specific ethnic group.

> 4. It's easy to protect troops in the field from biological agents and all major countries maintain and exercise the capability to do so.

Yet almost everyone got infected by covid.

> 5. Biological agents are slow acting and unreliable in their effect.

Covid was fast acting. Yet not that deadly. So i suppose if it was more deadly this too would fall.
This is an excellent explanation of Hinton's arguments, followed by some mild criticisms of them with no real conclusion. So overall one of the best takes on LLMs.
I think you need to define "better". If you're not set on having the same amount of people (because network effects are the biggest pain, and if it was as big as reddit presumably you'd have heard of it)

TV/Movies has forums at dslreports.org, and people sort of discuss on mastadon.

Technology as Ars Technica, here, mastadon instances and hashtags, discord, and if you're talking work, stuff on mailing lists via google and others, and maybe teams?

I have mostly given up on politics - I can't imagine having useful discussions in public online anywhere anymore.

Home DYI had the HOYUZZ (??) forums I think. But again, that's mostly web based I think.

I'm not into the other stuff so IDK on those. I could imagine someone trying to build a competitor - I mean there is lemmy I think.
I'd call that quote a perfectly adequate summary of certification. Can you rephrase what point you're making to the GP more clearly? It's not obvious to me how certification wouldn't be an answer here?
What's might he do instead? He could make lots of posts about the expensive getaways he goes on, the lavish meals he eats, the high end private school he sends his kids to. I don't doubt that he does all that stuff. But if he made a point of posting about it, people would hate him even more than they already do. The only parts of his life he advertises publicly are the ones that don't make him look like a rich asshole. Going off that, you might well think all he does is try to seem like a good person all the time. Which is largely the goal.
Telnet was great. Had so much fun learning the IRC protocol with it.
> The rest of your comment has no relevance to the topic at hand.

My comment, much like credibility of "expert" testimony in a trial, has to do with large scale failures of so-called expert governance in California.

I'm sure all of the embarrassing failures I mentioned had plenty of citations, just as I'm sure that the decrepit weirdly-fancy-for-a-third-world-banana-republic of San Francisco had reams of highly-remunerated research around their policy innovations on homelessness. Problems which in other far more boring cities were, if not solved problems, managed well due to common sense.
This is the part where you SHOULD see a company nurse (or even HR) in-person to bypass the doctor's note, given the extreme transportation usage.

I remember when, as a student commutting between home and the university, I was very often going to a high-speed train station equipped with "mosquito" devices (actually the normal speakers were used to emit the "mosquito" sounds as well).

Maybe I was particularly sensitive but these sounds were sucking all the energy out if me (each 30 seconds when they were occurring), and I was feeling extremely depressed and tired. Looks like what the poor mice are experiencing.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the brain suffers some kind of damage because of these sounds, either directly, or through damage to the inner ear sensorial cells...

I'm sure it was "mosquito" signals, because I used a sound spectrometer app on my smartphone and I could clearly see the peak around 18kHz appearing every 30 seconds on the spectrogram.

Robots beat humans at things like determining if a circuit has been completed (sensor trips), and following a predefined set of directions.

Humans are far better at complex things like reacting appropriately to an unanticipated input (someone yelling stop, or honking a horn)
