I said that not everyone can or will read. This is the third time I repeat this, actually. You didn't read, neither the first nor second time, which demonstrated my point perfectly.

Text is meaningless when people will not read. Ask any programmer or customer service monkey demanding to know what error message a user is running across. Most people will not read, even when demanded to read what is on the screen word for word. "I get an error." "What is the error?" "I see an error." "What does the error say?" "It's an error, fix it!"

A lot of computer people don't like how Windows BSODs became more cryptic and meaningless ("simplified"), but this is simply because nobody reads them. Likewise Windows Update changelogs, nobody reads them.

I don't necessarily agree with the trend of removing text from everything, I find text much more descriptive than cryptic monotone hieroglyphs. But I can understand and respect why the computing world is trending this way: Text is expensive to make and maintain, and not everyone appreciates them.

Very interesting. I'd like to think it's probably some technical limitations in the recovery options rather than some weird magickery to persist beyond drive reset. Because, if it's not, everyone is screwed.
Changing can work. If you scroll back to the start of a lot of popular providers and you'll find the originally produced very different stuff.

Even established channels can change. Eg JillBearup[1] used to post videos about science fiction, fantasy, movies. About 8 years in she started a new hobby and posted a few videos about stage fighting that were popular and then pivoted to costumes and fighting in movies. Roughly 10x jump in views per video.

These articles are idiotic clickbait that try to manufacture some kind of drama by throwing the word Tesla in the title.

Tesla is smoking the competition in AVs. Go watch any of WholeMarsBlog's videos on YouTube, of FSD Beta perfectly navigating rush hour San Francisco streets, or driving him from SF to LA without intervention. This is already happening regularly, and has been for months.

In the early 90s I was a grad student and research assistant with a desk in Cory Hall at UC Berkeley, where I spent a lot of time for 3.5 years. That building has the distinction of being the only place that Kaczynski (we didn't know his name then) bombed twice. He maimed a professor with his first bomb and a grad student with his second. He wasn't caught until after I left, and I made sure never to deal with mail at the office. Good riddance.

> What do we want from self driving cars

Frankly? I want another 10-15 years of independence for my dad. His eyesight is failing due to a mix of wonky genetics, he's fine driving in daylight, but already has started being much more cautious driving around dusk.

I want an AR display that will highlight the road and objects in it. I was LiDAR sensors hitting the brakes if it detects catastrophe. I want the car to augment and extend his ability to use it.

That's the big sell of self driving cars. Not "push a button and be whisked away," but having your own abilities enhanced by machine input that would otherwise be inaccessible to you.
Not enough scrutiny/blame have been given to the US government. TK is not entirely to blame for his crimes. This is why we should make away with libertarian concept of free-will. If a cow had been poisoned to murder people, no one would necessarily blame the cow or think that it "deserves" some kind of punishment. After killing the cow to simply stop its spree, we would focus our attention to the actual perpetrators. In this case its the US government. However, all I see in this thread, most of it anyways, is directed directly towards TK. He was undeniably a genius with so much ahead of him, but all of that went to waste.

To some people, it is not enough that he is murdered/punished, he needs to be made "rightly" suffered through similar pains. Why? If there is a cure to mental illness, why would we not administer this drug and let the man free? Without free will, this concept of "punishment" would simply wither away.

I think you could post something intentionally self indulgent, self serving and knowingly terrible to your numbers and we’d all lap it up. You’re one of the few folks I would describe as brilliant.
I don't think that answers my question. I understand emergent properties.

When it is said the self is an illusion, what, exactly, is being fooled by this illusion if not my self?
So with your closing comment you're arguing it is possible, now you're just talking about time frames.

All I have to say is that in 1900 many thought flights by heavier than aur craft were tens of thousands of years away. 3 years later it was achieved.
Not op but there are several groups that are independent but essentially aligned on anti-Tesla motivation that have reasons to support campaigns against Tesla: TSLAQ, union supporters, oil producers, legacy auto, to name just a few. There are more. And FUD is well known and easy enough that even individuals can practice it, so I wouldn’t read too much into that.
Got it.
Dumb luck I saw this post, it was hidden. I didn't know anything was getting flagged. Didn't know how to see these messages.

I'd say it is 50/50, some of my posts were responses in-kind, and to me, some seem more like the other person was the one with the problem, and maybe flagging is itself an attack. Definitely some gray area in interpreting these. And, there are definitely some hot button topics that get flames going everywhere, and I got in the crossfire.

But, I did review the guidelines, and your history of past warnings to others. So know there is a 'two wrongs don't make a right' rule.

So, I'll watch it. I'd rather keep HN as it is than fight.

The decision making technology is definitely possible, not this year or next but in a decade? Sure, plausible.

However removing all the sensors, reducing redundancy, from a high speed moving car to save manufacturing costs and increase profits is in direct conflict with safe driving for the passenger and other people on the road.

Many more sensors, much more redundancy, roads that give feedback, networked cars that give feedback, satellites for near realtime external updates, all will make cars eventually drive themselves better than humans.

But certainly not "just cameras" that cannot even handle weather without severely compromised guessing. You don't do that in a physical world requiring safety.

Me too. I find it so much fun to write “web servers” with aiohttp that involve web sockets, coordination between multiple requests, message queues and more.
I love your content, the only channel I've turned the bell on for. I am curious about your approach to explaining coding and machine learning, do you think it's possible to make "coded for 5 days" engaging in the same way physically building the objects is engaging?

Also, have you considered publishing your work in robotics conferences? I feel like grad students might be hesitant to cite a YouTube video whereas there's clearly enough technical contribution for a full publication.
Except they do plan have specific plans to use them and what criteria would entail doing so
I guess that's a limit of your experience :)

I'm in a space that doesn't remotely interest VCs, it's not a regulated industry, and we're not a consulting company. Actually we're in 3 such spaces.

I also teach other (working) developers and while some are in health care the vast majority are unregulated.

But to be fair, you've likely never heard of us, or our ilk. We do the boring office software that underpins every boring industry. We're not self-driving cars or exoskeletons, we're data in, data processing, data out.

Our market isn't sexy enough, or wide enough for VCs, we don't need millions of $ anyway, so we've never bothered to ask for it. We do boring things like make a profit, and fund growth out of cash-flow. We hire slowly, and we don't do layoffs.

We have lots of competitors just like us.
As my NAS expands, I get more and more cold data. Meanwhile large SSD's are getting cheap-ish (even TLC variants).

Are there any good options right now for multi-tiered storage for the home lab?

LVM has writeback cache as an option, but I couldn't quite figure out how reliable that is, found some old posts with disturbing issues but not a lot of recent talk. Would also need to run ZFS on top of it for the ZFS features I rely on like snapshots and such, so feels like a Jenga tower solution.

I know Ceph has this option, but Ceph performance is abysmal for small installations from what I could benchmark.

Bcachefs looks like it'll be a winner, but it's still WIP so won't trust it with my precious data quite yet I think.
I'm also a big YT watcher, especially car reviews. I pay and there's no ADs, it's only $13 a month.
Do you not regularly scrub your arrays to surface these issues promptly?
>Like most things in a thriving, functioning society, socializing the costs is what makes it work.

What is it about transportation wherein socializing the costs of using it would make it work?

Toll roads work all around the world, and better than the routes where the costs are socialized.

>Yet this same education system is what has produced a society capable of enormous economic output over the relatively short history of public education.

The modern education system arose largely in the 1930' "high school movement", which was almost all locally funded and controlled, and thus subject to very little socializing of costs.

As the costs of providing education have become increasingly socialized, the spending efficiency has decreased as rent-seeking institutions like teachers unions have taken over:

>Your argument is the most basic of libertarian nonsense that would argue that in past decades would argue that tax dollars collected in UT shouldn't fund interstate highways in CA.

I never made a libertarian argument. I made an appeal to basic economics. That triggered your anti-libertarian ideological defense mechanism, which has been instilled in the populace by the rent-seeking institutions that rely on centralized control:

https://www.hoover.org/research/california-state-government-...

These rent-seeking mechanisms are rapidly taking over the economy:

And as they do, the belief systems that they rely on, like anti-libertarianism, become more pervasive.

I'm sorry, I'm still not trying to personally attack anyone. I didn't even realize my comment would be interpreted as offensive rather than a statement of fact.

This is the definition of intellectual dishonesty according to Wikipedia:

"Intentionally committed fallacies in debates and reasoning are called intellectual dishonesty."

I read your argument as "this man emotionally affected me via a personal connection I have, therefore his argument is invalid" and interpreted it as a logical fallacy. I assumed you made this knowingly because that is like a super basic logic 101 fallacy. I wasn't trying to personally attack you or say anything about your character or intellect. I was just trying to point out that you had committed a logical fallacy and that I assumed you already knew this.
The point he's making is that having something that just dumps an audio file to the sound output isn't usually what you want anymore. Now you expect to have audio controls and a UI, as compared to when I would cat smellsliketeenspirit.au > /dev/audio

You're free to disagree, but don't do it this way.

No one thinks themselves evil. Every evil act, or most of them, was conducted by a person who thought they were doing what’s best.
LLMs we're messing with are text data only, we're barely starting to eat video data in multi modal LLMs. This world doesn't lack data.
Devs want to put the menu where users expect it.

Where do users expect the menu to be? Wherever devs usually put it.

Where do devs usually put the menu? Where the users previously expected it to be, which is wherever devs put it before then, and so on…

There’s an informal way to solve this infinite regression. It’s a focal point - also called a Schelling point for Thomas Schelling, who proposed this idea in his analysis of cooperation without communication. The usual explanation is something like so:

“Imagine you airdrop two people into unfamiliar terrain. Their goal is to find each other. They have no radios or methods of communication. All they have is a map, and the knowledge that the other person has a copy of the same map. The map has several river crossings, a handful of houses, multiple trails, etc. The topographical layer indicates one large hill near the middle. Both subjects will identify the top of that hill as the ‘correct’ meeting place and head there, even though it has some inefficient drawbacks as a meeting place, such as requiring you to walk uphill.”

Developers and users also have to coordinate without (much) communication, so there are similar pressures on user interfaces, except with the added complication that the shared map now includes history and tradition.

Once you learn this concept you will see it everywhere in user interface design. The cog icon, the floppy disk icon, even the vilified hamburger menu icon are all focal points. Login/password entry is done in the center of the screen. Collapsible sidebar menus are on the left.

There were initial reasons for why these things were picked in the first place, but that merely “put them on the map”, so to speak. The reason for the convergence is that once these things were on the map, they naturally revealed themselves to be focal points over time.
This does not follow.

You can be required to do things because of external forces that intentionally break the “moral rules” of normal society.

It can be morally wrong to kill a man, but you can still have to do it to defend yourself to survive.

I see a lot of people throwing out Usenet as an option, and I wonder, did anyone here ever have to admin a Usenet node? It's a huge pain in the ass. First off, the storage requirements are both unlimited and unpredictable. Someone might post some huge files to a group, and all of a sudden your server disk is full. You could set your server to drop large messages or attachments, but then you didn't have the complete message.

Then there was spam. Everyone had to do their own spam filtering. Or ... pay an upstream provider to do it for you. In which case they're basically the centralized solution.

The reason Internet forums took off was because it was way easier to let one central group manager the spam and load and network and disk and.... instead of everyone doing it themselves.

Thanks for all your work getting this PR merged!

I've been trying it out for a while now (streaming to a self-hosted broadcast-box), and almost everyone who views the stream says that the video will freeze for 1 to 2 seconds every now and again (every few minutes). Audio is uninterrupted. Any hints about how I can debug this?
I feel that the clear and present danger from AI at this point is where we set up AI to all be the gatekeepers for our access to the normal things in life: food, shelter, clothing, banking, communications services, etc.

And then the power and complexity of the AI gatekeepers becomes intractable such that none of us can really understand or troubleshoot when it goes wrong.

And then it does go wrong somehow: perhaps there are just innocent malfunctions, or perhaps threat actors install malicious AIs to replace the benign gatekeepers that had been in place.

And then the gates slam shut, and we're standing there like "open the pod bay doors please" and entire swaths of society are disenfranchised by AI gatekeepers that nobody can understand or troubleshoot or even temporarily disable or bypass.

And it seems utterly plausible since this is already the reality of people who are denied access to Google or Facebook accounts and such. All it needs is to get a little more widespread and come to something truly essential, like your bank or your grocery store.
This is really exciting news, there hasn't really been any big leaps in HDD capacities in a long time, +12TB perhaps even +20TB in one generation is huge. I hope they are going to be reasonably priced, but given the competition has nothing, 1k+? I really hope not.
I'm also finding this really sad. Its painfully obvious to anyone who has used either system recently the majority of commenters have no idea what they are talking about either, the amount of nonsense in this thread about both Tesla and Mercedes ADAS implementations. As always with car discussions on this site, people's feelings about brands and their stereotypical owners seem to cloud any reasonable discourse (especially when Tesla or FSD gets mentioned, sigh). That and of course everyone on Hackernews is apparently an automotive industry expert to boot...
> Of-course, why did you think Donetsk and Luhansk regions held secession referendums in 2014 ?

Because there were Russian soldiers holding a gun to their back forcing it.

Igor Girkin who was a FSB officer and one of the former leaders of the DPR or LPR armies recently admitted it was mostly Russians and wasn’t really a civil war.

> Why would Russia not interfere in their immediate neighbourhood in a nation filled with a large number of Russian ethnic people who were turned into second class pariahs thanks to US interference ?

Because this never happened, this is a persistent myth spouted by people like Putin to justify the rape and torture of Ukraine.
Buy support and generally disagree.
It seems like it was doubtful this would come to fruition, at least in 2013. There are many promising technologies that that never become economically viable. But necessity is the mother of invention.
Delusion:

A false belief or judgment about external reality, held despite
incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, occurring especially
in mental conditions.

I don't doubt the person actually thinks what they say they think. I don't think the experience of spreading propaganda involves self awareness that one is spreading propaganda. I think the nature of propaganda is that it is self propagating without a structure that consciously propagates it.

Delusion in the form of denial is a natural response to grief. "This entity that I am apart of is doing something heinously evil" would naturally cause grief. I experienced grief in regards to Iraq and Afghanistan because I believed my country was doing something evil.

Denial is the first stage of grief, and I think we are seeing denial in the form of delusion, delusion supported by propaganda.
Yeah, the situation is sort of like buying a car from someone, and you don’t like the previous owner’s agreed rate with the mechanic for ongoing maintenance, but you also park the car at the mechanic’s shop and if he stops doing daily maintenance your engine won’t start…
This would be great, actually. I couldn't necessarily feed my company's code to this due to licensing concerns, but I'd love to point this at a Minecraft mod and ask how block X works, or if there's a console command to do Y, or how to construct a weapon with the most damage, etc.

Owning a Tesla with FSD, it no where close to being able to drive autonomous. I have intervened multiple times where it would have caused a serious accident like merging into a concrete barrier or not detecting a car while trying to turn right into a lane. They still can't fix the phantom braking problem has plague my car from the beginning and i have to drive on the freeways with my foot over the accelerator so i can cancel the hard braking.
So, exactly what they do?
