> There is a very real risk that Tesla’s OTA is hacked, and the hacker disables or destroys a large number of vehicles.

I, personally, wouldn't count that as an AI caused disaster. Just as a software caused disaster. And we've had plenty of those already (recently the 737-MAX disasters).
Yes, it is. This system is primarily meant to counter phishing attacks that use similar domains. I should have clarified that in the post.

weird take

I am free to move across borders, it's my car that requires paperwork and requires that I submit to detainment and harassment by any cop I happen to pass by.

Having a car is great for doing your own thing on your own schedule, but it's also an expensive liability. I'd rather live in a world where I'm not compelled to take on this liability just to get across town.
Thanks this is really helpful. But how do I know what is or isn't junk at these retailers? None of the ones on this list have a showroom near me. And what goes in the ... ?
Well you just have to find a way to eat the traffic without using up too many resources. Rate-limit by IP, drop certain types of packets, cache aggressively, respond to 400 errors with empty response, timeout long-running requests etc.
Yeah that’s nowhere close. It’s easy to make a prototype that looks good in a marketing video while driving a very tightly mapped route. It’s a whole other thing to let anyone use self driving tech anywhere, especially on routes it has never seen before.
I agree! Let's get the poors off the roads.

The peasant class belongs on public transport, not on taxpayer-funded roads.

I am not going to claim knowing the policies 100% but I guess if a subreddit (magazine in kbin's parlance) has rules "A friendly place to chat. No politics please. Don't be a dick." (https://kbin.social/m/ukcasual@lemmy.world), then it's fair that any links to politics get removed. And the solution is to create your own subreddit (magazine) or even host another kbin instance yourself and federate with the rest. In other words, there could be many moderation policies on a single instance.
First we had segregated roads for the rich, then airports and and terminals, and now it's full on cities. Welcome to dystopia.

Not to make you feel even older, but what does LnC stand for?
Can you make a mad max style off-road vehicle out of it?

You could tinker with an electronic conversion or make a generator out of it.

Tear out the inside and make a bed out of it.

Do the same but add a trailer tow bar and make a camper.

How will you discretely identify every problem to be solved in the domain of live real drivers in real world conditions? Applying a model of an industrial plant where machines interface with machines, and occasionally humans in prescribed and orderly functions, will not get you any closer to safety.

What will get you closer to safety is insanely large corpus of real world data being trained on in a continuous feedback loop.
> Surprised that a 13 years old was able to take care of 3 small children in a jungle full of snakes and jaguars for 40 days

FTA: "The children belong to the Huitoto indigenous group."

I.e. they're used to living on the land. Snakes are a concern if you're unwary in the jungle, but if you are somewhat aware of your surroundings you'll be OK. Jaguars are probably a different story, but I guess luckily they weren't in the territory of any animals.
Doesn't this just follow from the fact that more days are green than red and the sp500 has gone up over the time period of interest? Time in market beats timing the market so to speak?

I do think a lot of advice is about reducing volatility because amateur investors freak out over sudden negative drops and then make mistakes out of panic. The advice is not about maximizing returns.

Isn’t it more like if female researchers used the cropped head-only photo of a Chippendale’s guy in an image processing paper?

Shifting it to an “interfacing with an authority figure for children” role is not really fair IMO, as I think that is why most would find it distasteful.
Yep, you're right, I had a brainfart there. Thanks for being nice and explaining it! :)
Peter Singer's FAQ:

> […] Newborn human babies have no sense of their own existence over time. So killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living. That doesn’t mean that it is not almost always a terrible thing to do. It is, but that is because most infants are loved and cherished by their parents, and to kill an infant is usually to do a great wrong to her or his parents.

> Sometimes, perhaps because the baby has a serious disability, parents think it better that their newborn infant should die. Many doctors will accept their wishes, to the extent of not giving the baby life-supporting medical treatment. That will often ensure that the baby dies. My view is different from this, but only to the extent that if a decision is taken, by the parents and doctors, that it is better that a baby should die, I believe it should be possible to carry out that decision, not only by withholding or withdrawing life-support — which can lead to the baby dying slowly from dehydration or from an infection — but also by taking active steps to end the baby’s life swiftly and humanely.

Do not most people nowadays consider a post-birth entity with the DNA of homo sapiens a person of particular sub-type "infant" (as classified by age)? Singer does not classify them as a person from what I've read.
My quote is from the same interview. I repeat: "The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years."

If that interview leaves anything unclear, then Spiegel tried to get a "yes, assurances existed" answer from foreign minister Shevardnadze from several different angles, but he replied to every attempt with a "No."

Curious as to what parts of Kotlin you think are falling behind Java. Java has been playing catch-up forever. Java just implemented light weight threads - coroutines in Kotlin which I've been using for years. I've used data classes forever and, again, Java just recently implemented their equivalent - records. Sealed classes are the only feature I can think of but not a must-have for me. What am I missing?
For some background, I've been a Java developer for over 10 years. I work with Kotlin and Java daily - my company has a backend written in Kotlin and many ancillary services in Java. I prefer Kotlin - it's a joy to write in. JetBrains hit a sweet spot by being able to mix functional and imperative coding.
From the documentary Idiocracy: Idiocracy director Mike Judge revealed that they went with Crocs both because they were cheap and that "no one would ever wear them." To the surprise of Judge and Idiocracy's wardrobe department, by the time the film came out after a delay, Crocs were all over the place.”

In fact you could save more money by wrapping your feet in used burlap sacks. Just need to be creative.
> So he probably lives in a big city, eats out very often, takes public transportation, and basically relies on external services for things he does not have. Which is a kind of lifestyle that has a lot of externalities and does not really have a minimalist impact on society as a whole,

Not sure how living in a big city and taking public transit has more negative externalities than the alternatives, care to expand?
LLM does not manipulate concepts, it only manipulates symbols/tokens. Its manipulation of concepts is a product of human imagination and anthropomorphism that we like to imbue everything around with.

Concluding that electric signals in the brain can't be intelligence because it's just electricity is a typical pitfall if one does not realize that electric signals in the brain are about as likely to be caused by intelligence as they are to be causing it. Those signals is just one model offered by physics nowadays, which says nothing about the causal direction between those and things like consciousness.
I didn't answer because the only winning move to such a question is not to play the game at all.

There doesn’t seem to consistently be TOO much traffic when you’re just trying to get around Manhattan.
True, and I'm all for punishing the platform. When we do so we're also punishing ourselves however. They're losing potential monetary value, we're the ones losing knowledge. (I'm assuming they have full backups and could trivially undo the deletions for purposes such as selling LLM training data, so the amount of harm we're doing them really is only limited to "engagement" numbers)

Much like the SO incident, it just makes me increasingly hesitant to contribute to any future platform where the only method of redress the users have is self-harm. Seem some good suggestions in this thread though, so maybe we can come up with something new.

Would you bet your life on a Tesla Twitter promise? They are not even betting one cent on their car safety.
It’s bizarre and absurd to claim a system that’s driven billions of miles “doesn’t work”.

I really like how Simondotau put it. These are wildly different systems. Benchmarks can always be rigged and I see this move by Mercedes no differently.

Having failed to compete with Tesla on actual self driving technology, they concocted a minimally useful system that could check a box in their marketing material. Mercedes, here, is an ostrich.

My primary benchmark for how useful the system is would be how many passenger-miles its driven. We’ll be waiting a long time for Mercedes to be bragging about that metric.
Yeah I still need to refine it a little for the smaller screen sizes. The font sizing is variable so it gets smaller the smaller the screen size, but for you it's probably too small.
Common American reply. It's turned into "freedom".

Public transit can easily be 1st class transit with freedom, as long as it's prioritized as such. When transit has to fight with vehicles, it's strictly worse, and discourages usage.... Unless you're in the poverty class and have to.

Roads are high speed infrastructure to get from 1 area to the next. We call them highways and interstates. WE NEED THOSE.

Streets are the downtown, slow speed where human scale stuff happens. It's also where transit should be. These are also needed.

Those 2 or 4 lane highish speed abominations where businesses are loosely connected by asphalt oceans are "stroads". They do both a street and a road terribly, induce sprawl, and are terrible for anyone not in a vehicle.

And sheesh, with your polemic, depriotizing motor vehicles doesn't cause you to lose freedom... AS LONG AS OTHER MODES OF TRANSIT ARE EASIER/BETTER.
> Marxists were and remain tankies, I was raised by such and have family friends who think Putin is awesome

A curious irony is that the 45th POTUS once characterized Putin's decision to invade as "genius".

Actually I take the above as further evidence that the usual projection of political thought onto a single left-right axis remains hopelessly reductive.
Recently Utah had a small commemorative conference where the photo in the picture was taken. Ivan Sutherland attended, and gave what I thought was the best talk, about nothing to do with graphics. He’s actively doing research on Single Quantum Flux circuits at 85 years old! [1] He’s trying to spread the word that the US is about to miss out on the next hardware revolution because we’re not paying attention to SQF. [2] The talk is awesome and worth watching. Anyway, I feel like this was a sneak peek into one of the biggest reasons why that early graphics team was so successful, Ivan’s amazing. Combined with some other magic ingredients, their environment was special, and I think, sadly, unreproducible.

Sure, I’d love to see your 600 line webassembly interpreter.
Correct yes - although having used a provider that used Magic Transit as protection I can safely say it's a terrible option.
You also get to negotiate from a position of relative strength as your BATNA is your current job. At most it’s the opportunity cost of interviews (and maybe risk of your current job knowing your looking if that’s an issue).
Interesting. Wikipedia says Muslim invasions started in 712 AD, "with increasing frequency". I guess they got it wrong.
Systems that are required to have ~100% performance within an operational design domain generally have more than 0% performance beyond that domain.

For example, Tesla FSD seems like a pretty good highway cruise control, but it can be dangerously deployed in city driving too. Of course this is a little difficult to argue about since AFAIK Tesla has never defined its ODD and their lead autopilot software guy said in his deposition that he didn’t even know what an ODD was?

I suppose one man’s “marketing win” to “claim” L3 is another man’s “actually deploying L3.”
This anecdote is basically another way of saying the incentives of urban design align and become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Suburban dwellers stuck in the automobile mindset automatically assume that big cities must have the most horrendous traffic. It's seems like a logical conclusion: if traffic in my 50,000 person suburb is horrendous, it must be downright horrific in the big city.

But that's not really how it works. In NYC one two track subway tunnel can handle 15 lanes-worth of car occupants.

Ironically, making transit, cycling, and walking more convenient than driving and "punishing" the automobiles actually makes traffic and driving more pleasant.

I think a lot of suburban folks would be really surprised that a two-lane 25mph road can comfortably handle traffic for neighborhoods that have 10x the density of a typical automobile-designed connected with large arterial roadways. When you design a place to only accommodate vehicles, vehicles are what you get.
Driving is hugely subsidized. This proposal is simply to slightly reduce that subsidy, which will continue to be hefty.
When I saw London doing that, I expected cities in the US to start that. I am surprised it took so long.

I expected this because of the push of toll roads to make people use EZPASS. Depending upon the City, I think this makes sense.

But, in the US, I wonder if this will cause another mass migration of people out to the suburbs ? In the US, people are more addicted to their SUVs than heron addicts are to their drug.
Took me less than a few minutes, to find in the same channel, FSD failing and the human having to intervene. Here it is at the proper time and for a video uploaded 10 hours ago... - https://youtu.be/KG4yABOlNjk?t=995

And even worst failures...looking at all these I simply do not believe the videos posted are not edited or a selection of a success out of many failed ones.

Since the video was live on YouTube no editing was done...

These videos are only posting the successful events, we need to see them all. That is why probably Tesla is not putting their money where their mouth is.
Moreover, I doubt that the use of Mandarin was widespread in Taiwan before 1949 when Kuomintang occupied Taiwan.

Before that, most people from Taiwan were either natives, who spoke an Austronesian language, or Chinese immigrants who had come during the previous 4 centuries from Fujian, who spoke a Hokkien dialect very different from Mandarin.
I bought it but am disappointed because it doesn't recognize .mdx files.
Apple won’t put cellular in anything new until they think their own modems are good enough.

Apple had a years-long lawsuit with Qualcomm which, to be extremely reductive, had as its main goal “stop charging us a licensing fee that’s a percentage of the final sale price of the device, you should charge a fixed price per chip”.

Apple essentially gave up when they realized Intel was years away from making good enough modems, bought Intel’s modem group, which has been chugging away since then making still-not-good-enough modems.
There's nothing wrong with public transport. The subway is frequently faster than driving anyway.
This is an excellent idea. One limitation of a testing library of mine, `mptest`, is its inability to sandbox tests. I may take this idea and develop a more robust (and potentially parallel) testing framework around it.

Team America was satirizing a specific moment in history, where they used fear of 9/11 to support an unjust war. That moment has passed. We may be vulnerable to that kind of crap again, but I don't see it right now.
Hoo boy that's a long and complicated question. I think there might actually be an option you can set on cell groups, or perhaps at the notebook level, to force re-evaluation of everything above every time you evaluate a cell (which would be the closest one could do to implementing the same behavior for kernel evaluations as for chat evaluations).

Why do I, who would have been the one to implement such a feature, not even remember whether it exists or not? Because if it does, it's horribly useless. It's just rarely what you actually want, and if you do want to do that, you can simply select the cell group, or command-A select the whole notebook, and use shift-return to evaluate everything. That's something I do regularly, but only when I need to, and it would be horrible if it tried to do that every time. I think it was Maple that tried such an interface. (Except their's was 2-dimensional: you could move equations/definitions around on the screen, and anything below or to the right would use definitions from above or to the left of it. This interface was one of the things that convinced me that this was a bad idea.)

The situation with GPTs is different: they do not have the equivalent of kernel state. It took me a while to believe it's actually true, but they have infinite amnesia: every time you send an API call, or submit a new prompt in their web interface, the model is starting completely from scratch with no state or memory whatsoever of anything that's happened before.

That fact that it looks like you're having an interactive conversation in which it knowns what you said before is an illusion created by the fact that the entire conversation all the way back to the start is re-submitted with every new prompt.

Given that reality, and the way people seem to want to interact with these things, the use of a physical context rather than a temporal one seemed most natural. We did talk about implementing our own temporal context mechanism to artificially make the LLM appear to have time-based internal state, like a kernel, but I personally hated the idea, and we never implemented it.

Now, it's possible that at some point these systems will in fact start having internal state (i.e. you have your own personal LLM running on a wad of gum stuck behind your ear, and as you interact with it it constantly fine tunes its weights, or something). At that point we might regret the decision, but I feel like this whole world is so unstable and rapidly evolving that it made sense for us to do what's right now, and worry about the future, if there is one, during that future.

It's also more expensive now than it was on release. At $849/799€ it was still expensive, but that was easier to justify given the niche than the 1000+ it costs now.
I don’t think you could ever accurately simulate trash movement.

Trash is irregularly shaped, even with the highest resolution cameras, it’d be impossible to know what the far side of the trash is shaped like. Then on top of that there’s no way to predict highly localized gusts of wind.

The best way to deal with trash is to just have an ML model deal with lots of it so it can make predictions about what it is likely to do (which is basically what Tesla is already doing).
> So whereas your disgust (and our illegality) at infanticide today serves as a good starting point to thinking about its morality, I don't think it's infallible and certainly not a veto over Singer's reasoned argument.

I fail to see where I make any moral judgements on Singer: can you please quote me the parts of my post where I do so?

AFAICT, I simply describe the common contemporary moral stance ("…what most folks would call…"), and what I interpret as Singer's position ("He seems to accept…"). Is stating the facts (AFAICT) taking a moral position on them?

Is stating "Bob (appears to) believe the Earth is flat" the same as stating "I believe the Earth is flat"?
