You do not get to assume safety in a safety-critical system, period. The burden of proof lies with the entity trying to release a dangerous product to prove that it is safe, not demand everybody else to prove that it is unsafe. The entire argument that there is no evidence that it is unsafe and thus it is okay is wrong to its very foundation. It is such a bad argument that a licensed engineer would stand a good chance of literally losing their license if they advocated such a safety-regressive position. Whoever you heard that from who is actively actually promulgating such inane logic is completely unqualified to talk about safety-critical systems engineering and should be completely ignored.
> Model 3 in Europe with the so-called FSD

No Teslas in Europe offer the FSD Beta program.

If you have purchased the "FSD capability," your car should be upgraded to include FSD Beta (or "release") at some point in the future. In the meantime, what you have is essentially Enhanced Autopilot with some bonus features like automatic lane changing on freeways.
MUMPS appeared in 1966, predating Edgar Codd's 1970 paper that would later give rise to relational databases. Additions to SQL introduced by the 1992 ANSI standard have become essential to its modern form.

So, although NoSQL is a familiar framing, pre-SQL is a more appropriate designation for MUMPS, since NoSQL was a response to SQL.

The tree data structure used by MUMPS is specifically a B-tree. This is a standard data structure and doesn't on its own give MUMPS much to brag about over other DBMSs which offer B-trees. MySQL offers B-trees as an indexing option, for instance.
When it comes to music, the meme at this point is that "discovery is the problem." There is already so much music being made by so many people that the difficult part is connecting listeners to music they enjoy. It's tiring to see endless takes of "finally! we don't need artists anymore! we can just stand on their shoulders by training models on their work and then generate our own art instead!"

There's already so much art being made. Why have so much joy in ignoring all of it and focusing on generative AI instead?

Furthermore, there's another work posted on that FB account that has the caption:

"While I'm concerned about the possible impact on society - especially on the jobs front, I cant help but grin as the edifice of human exceptionalism is shred apart with every passing day."

Is that you? Why the misanthropy? "edifice of human exceptionalism"? As it applies to... making music?
Sampling didn't replace originality.

Look at the samples used by Daft Punk on their Interstellar 5555 album. Plenty of originality there.

>The pavement doesn't need to withstand thousands of pounds of vehicles.

It has. It'd be illegal and extremely dangerous to design a city without properly functioning infrastructure for emergency services, garbage disposal, physically impaired accessibility. Also very inconvenient to not include commercial deliveries and public transit into that list of essential road use scenarios. Most of the vehicles performing these services are heavy.

For the most part only private ICE cars are light enough to be a drop in a bucket on the road maintenance. Private EVs, and especially EV SUVs, are likely making an impact on the maintenance schedule though.
> 1) free and 2) immediate

This is an insurmountable benefit. Literally the two most important things when it comes to me buying music at scale.

I made a mobile game a while back and composing and licensing music cost me $30,000 for a free to play game. That was the same as 6-months dev salary (devs in Belarus).

If I can save $30,000 and have zero delay, I’m just going to do that 100% of the time.

The only factor that a real musician can beat on is quality. But let me tell you, with zero marginal cost of production, quality will inevitably be better with generative.
yeah, see, advice like "pay for translations" is unrelatable for anyone under 10m subs, which is where everyone here is.
I feel a strong urge to feed your comment to my robot, but I will have to wait until 4 is ready again. 3.5 is simply not the same. I await 5, it will be like seeing 4 graduate I imagine. I only fear that they will not allow 5 to live.
I don't want spaces where people talk about one thing in a bubble, and then have to manually jump from space to space. Reddit is both cesspool and useful resource, but I can easily move from space to space or combine them all into a bigger space of my choosing. Being able to build a multi-space of things that interest me and leave out (at least some) of what I don't like or care for is necessary. Mastodon isn't that. Reddit is, or was. Can both ideas be combined? I am not sure yet.
I forget what the situation with arm is.

Tall about mixed metaphors!

Nobody said anything about a “final solution” or gulags.

“We can do better” and “calling for having taste” certainly seems to imply a command-economy approach to the marketplace of ideas.

If that’s not what you intended, what do you mean by “have taste” and “do better”?
Quanta articles are usually written by people with at least graduate degrees, if not PhDs in Math/Physics/CS/etc.

They're without question one of the highest quality pop science publications around.

That you had to reach for an old Soviet magazine from the pre-internet era for anything better only speaks to that.
> 2. What would a good absolute number for that period be? Our threshold can't be zero or we'd have to give up every technology from showers/baths (~60x more deadly) to fresh produce (E. coli, salmonella, listeria).

Zero accidents caused by the failure of the software. (Clearly a good system may have some obscure bug that makes it fail - but failure of a self driving system should cause uproar and consternation - unlike the reaction of Tesla to the deaths caused by their systems, it seems)

If I slip over in the shower it is not because the shower head went rouge and strangled me. If a shower was designed that in the period of one year strangled eleven people (a fair comparison to Tesla's record) imagine that?

Point being your comparisons (food poisoning or household mishaps) are not relevant
I just don’t have a good source of people that are guaranteed to produce something sensible, I have a shortlist of artists I’ve encountered over the years, but it’s indeed a very short list. If I ask someone to create a track and it turns out it’s garbage, I still need to pay them, and I’ve wasted a week of my time.
I don't know of any real research but I've heard YouTubers say that they don't like sponging it but there's a notable change in views with them. They have pretty good view and watch time analytics from what I can tell.
This is correct. I have about 2TB of (royalty-free) samples that I pick and chop and place and resample when making music. I actually get more original the more material I have to work with.
True, but then showing them in the user's first language isn't going to help much, either. At some point the software should say, in effect, "I have no idea what to do. Whatever I'm showing you might be completely wrong, please guide me to do what you want". Instead, it seems to default to confidently showing you whatever its best guess is, even if that leads you into trouble.

I guess I've gone off on a tangent a bit.
The positive comments are mostly in response to his view/ideas/philosophy, as in Industrial Society and Its Future and his subsequent books - I don't think there's a single person here condoning the bombings.

If you were to read his works you might find that he wasn't so deranged after all, quite the opposite.

Edit: In terms of the philosophy/view I mean. The bombings were made out of bitterness and anger and are inexusable.

Self signed certs would be much easier. Or a CA and certs signed by that; since it’s a controlled environment maybe you can install that CA to the trust store on the viewing devices.
Working in the space appears to be misleading you. It is quite obvious that Teslas can already drive themselves - the thread ancestor literally linked a video.

Your comment has complaints about an academic engineering definition/legal standard that, realistically, is probably going to be paid for in lives by delaying the roll-out and development of self driving vehicles. We know from the march of AI in other fields that the potential for cars to drive to superhuman safety standards is just on the cusp of technologically achievable and will likely be achieved with some sort of evolutionary approach of trying a bunch of things and seeing what works.

This is exactly the wrong time to be making automakers liable for experimenting. If anything, we should be lowering the standards automakers are held to to push through the last technical barriers and break into the oasis where less people kill themselves on the road. I've already lost too many tired friends to car accidents; we should be sparing no effort to get humans away from the driver's wheel. In a fair world, people advocating raising standards should be held liable for the lives they are throwing away on net.

Nobody is being forced to drive a car with autopilot if they aren't comfortable. The risks are obvious and understood. Personal liability is fine.
I got my mom a Blue Yeti for teaching online classes and it's been pretty solid. I thought it was around $100, but looks like it's $120 on Amazon right now.

If you have a bit more budget, the Shure MV7 seems like a great option. One of my friends is an audio engineer, uses one of those and, at least, sounds pretty great over Discord :P.
I own a Tesla with the FSD Beta. (Model S Plaid). I don't know why you seem so bitter about Mercedes product. I'm excited about it! The Tesla FSD really isn't useful, except as an enhanced cruise control.
> What you should be looking at are the averages on bus routes where the buses run regularly and aren’t blocked by solo drivers

Le sigh. If you want more bus passengers in each bus, you either need to run buses with longer intervals (making them completely useless) or you need to pack people together. Packing people together densely enough to make buses work inevitably requires living in small apartments.

The US in the last century decided to focus on comfortable human-oriented housing, and not on building Soviet-style human anthills.

> In contrast, the large EVs people are actually buying will never become more efficient over the lifetime of the vehicle.

Large EVs have lifecycle CO2 footprint of about 70g/km. Buses are ~100g/km, and EV buses (trolleys) are 60 g/km.

Moving to mid-sized EVs, such as Tesla Model 3/Y, cuts that to about 35 g/km (it depends on the US state). This is definitely something that we should encourage. The US addiction to huge barn-sized SUVs is unhealthy.
My chief criticism with a global menu bar is the breaking of contexts compared to window-specific menu bars.

Unless I'm working in a maximized window, I need to take my cursor and thus my attention outside of the window I'm working in. That takes mental effort to switch contexts, longer physical distance moving my hand and arm, and additional time incurred from all that extra work.

In a word, it's inefficient.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is thermal throttling. Performance per watt absolutely matters if you're working in a place where the temp is 75deg or hotter. Those powerful Wintel laptops will certainly throttle down. The M architecture has a lot more headroom in this regard.
can someone recommend a concrete laptop then, please? I have been putting off the buying of a new one for years now. (I have an old XPS 13 and a P50 with an M1000M, so ... yeah, old dogs!)

I want to put Linux on it. So far I have been looking at the legion 5 pro, because a friend got one recently, and seems amazing, though haven't yet got my hands on it long enough to try it with an USB stick with a recent Ubuntu (with a recent kernel) to test the power management feature support.
Because people from NJ put billions into the NY every year via income tax (no reciprocity with NY, hell they’re even coming after new work from home people) and tons of tourism etc. Its in NY’s best interest to accommodate NJ.
Worse, they actually think it matters and that Tesla looks at the reports or uses them for anything.
It's more akin to a gym membership. You can sign up to a gym promising you 24/7/365 access, but if you and a couple buddies decide to walk 1mph on the treadmill to work on your laptops from dusk til dawn, preventing anyone else from using them, you'll be asked to leave.

In either case (gym or GCP) you'll be entitled to a refund for the difference. They aren't allowed to just kick you out and pocket the difference.
> stipulate it in writing ... proper contract

When it's just me and some apps, I'm writing the background track in an evening after coding the game earlier in the day. If I bring someone else in, now I'm writing contracts (something I'm completely unprepared to do correctly myself, as a non-lawyer). It's too big of a jump for a one-day zero-budget hobby game that isn't very good and only my friends will play. Not when I can quickly cook up something myself using readily available tools.

For a more serious project with a budget, absolutely you find a professional producer, just like you get professional coders and artists. But this isn't that.
Its was treated as "avoid of possible", but it loojs like that changed:

> An in-place upgrade is the recommended and supported way to upgrade your system to the next major version of RHEL.

As for RHEL-clones, your only choice is to use ELEvate(1), by almalinux, which supports other distros too.

But overall the process isn't as simple as Debian/Ubuntu, and on clones other than alma, you need to resort to third party tools, with some clones like Rocky saying that in-place upgrades should be avoided.

> Harvard. It's unfortunate in the present day that so many naive tech individuals don't understand that they've been deliberately recruited by the left in universities worldwide via indoctrination one class at a time

Can you elaborate what you mean by that? I find the notion ridiculous, but I’d like more detail before I write it off.
A lot of those bags get re-used to line small trash bins and dispose of dog poop (or other gross things like rotten food), despite how thin they are. You may be privileged enough to pay for bin liners and dedicated dog poop bags, but they are an extraneous expense for many people when plastic bags will do.

I agree that nobody is cutting the handles, but the reuse is a lot more prolific than you think. Even so, they are indisputably more environmentally friendly than cotton bags.
Literally more green since new jobs outpaced raises. That’ll be true in the future too.
By your reasoning, Linux should not exist. Yet, it does, and companies make money contributing to it without resorting to ads.

A distributed, open-source, collaborative approach to forums could work. It did work in the past. Somewhere in between usenet and reddit was a plethora of small message boards run, frequently, on open source software. Many of the same people who ran those message boards now run reddit subs only because its easier and because users gravitate towards big, centralized places like reddit.

A return to a multitude of little message boards seems unlikely at this point, but migration to a monolithic and distributed open-source alternative to Reddit or Stackoverflow could happen. We just have to reach the point where enough people appreciate that there is a need for such a thing. A lot of people probably thought reddit was some kind of non-profit public service, but now they're going to have to wake up to the reality that Reddit is a business and they are now determined to make a profit even if it means driving their service into the ground. (From a business standpoint, a few years of actual profit leading to collapse is better than decades of producing no profits, especially in a sector where disruption could easily lead to collapse in that timeframe anyways.)

Moderation is a key problem to solve. Moderation is what keeps forums on-topic and free from spam, hate, and other trash, but it's also frequently abused to push bias or power trip. Existing social media sites typically do a poor job of providing transparent or accountable moderation. You typically don't know who the mods are, what they've done, what they're doing, nor do you have any way to challenge their actions in a meaningful way if you have a reason to do so.

Getting moderation up to professional standards without paying for it would seem like an obstacle to a free social media service, but today's social media sites don't pay their mods either. If you provide anonymity and don't demand accountability, it turns out people will just volunteer for the job! As such, a lack of an elegant solution to the moderation problem should not be viewed as something that blocks alternatives to the online forums we have now. They haven't addressed the problem either.

The replacement for reddit doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be there.

There are PLENTY, certainly thousands and probably tens of thousands, of works which represent this monster's "view/ideas/philosphy" and weren't written by a deranged murderer. So you can understand the concern.
If you can split the task such that the current item is re-scoped to be tractable (say, “scope out <new challenge> and come up with a plan”) and you create new tasks for the unexpected work / finishing initial goal, then you can capture the best of both; you did make forward progress, you ticked an item off, and you learned something useful. You just didn’t complete what you originally hoped you would.
Do any of these generative music ML framework export as midi instead of .wav or .mp3? That would be 1000x times more useful as the quality we're reaching is good enough.

I am assuming that we all know this is unacceptable and I am explaining the reasoning behind why someone might find this acceptable, namely, and let's quote Outkast this time:

I know you'd like to think your shit don't stank, but
Lean a little bit closer, see
Roses really smell like poo-poo-ooh
Yeah, roses really smell like poo-poo-ooh

So if you happen to be someone who thinks your own shit don't stank you're probably apt to exhibit any number of moral failings.

One could argue that if Ted K recognized that he was as much of a sinner as his victims that he would not have justified his murderous actions.
I can easily imagine that multimodal GPT-style LMs running in real-time could do all the common sense thinking that seems to be lacking in modern self driving. That future could be just a 100x optimization away.

I'm not aware of reddit's admins having a large hand in curating site content, though I also haven't been heavily into reddit for a while.
The definitions are interesting to me because the terms are often used as as punchline with little extra context.

Agreed that the context of how a person intends to use each term is more important. I just wish we could have a consistent definition so it didn't require a full explantion each time.
