A self-driving car that can't react appropriately to the world as it is is not a self-driving car, it's a fantasy. The world cannot adapt to the needs of current self-driving car tech, there are just too many moving parts that would need to change. It's up to the self-driving cars to adapt to the world as it is, and if they can't do that then they're not ready.

The OP definitely asked for the deliveries to stop, and even had a confrontation with the delivery driver. Seems pretty clear that he's expressed his preference that they not enter his property.
This is yet another reason I want Musk in prison.

Getting drivers off the road will save lives, and not a small number. Most companies investing in automated driving have built a system that is safe and largely effective. These systems have worked safely in the places they've been deployed. We should be heavily investing in expanding their capabilities.

Yet Tesla's system is the most famous and most widely-deployed and basically doesn't work at all. They have made themselves the face of the technology, and that face is uuuuugly. When people think of self-driving cars, they don't think of Cruze or Waymo. They think of a techbro giggling at his Tesla making fart sounds while it barrels into someone's kitchen.

Tesla's marketing is correct in that self-driving cars will have huge economic benefits and save lives. Their grift is harming the reputation of even legitimate companies. The best way I know to speed up self-driving car development is to shut Tesla down.
As a person who reads a lot of books (1 book every 1-3 weeks depending on its length) I can say most of them are crap garbage and I throw them in the garbage when I'm finished with them. A lot of murder mysteries. I don't know why so many authors write murder mysteries. It's so hard to make a mystery compelling in a book format, because I know no matter how opaque or confusing things are in the beginning, if I just keep reading eventually everything will be explained. Even if the explanation doesn't make sense, there will be an explanation, eventually.

Maybe I should just stop reading random books. Follow Oprah's book club or the commandant's reading list or something like that.
Enshittification is entrenching your monopoly position as a platform or marketmaker in order to claw back all profits for yourself. Neither part of the definition applies: Firefox is not a platform dominating any market (they neither have the market share, nor can Mozilla force users into using Firefox through monopolies in other areas). And the users are not deprived of anything. (If you wanted, you could sideload the old Firefox for Android that supported extensions. The fact that this is a stupid idea because of security concerns is not relevant for this argument.)

There is no reliable scientific evidence that fasting extends lifespans for humans who are already at a healthy weight and body composition. In fact, there is reason to expect the opposite effect due to the increased risk of sarcopenia.

> Neither vim-or-vim-fork editor users nor vim-or-vim-fork-potential-devs are going to see any significant jump in population from the presense of neovim.

Last time I used vim there was still a thriving ecosystem of vanilla-compatible vimscript plugins. And this thread is full of neovim users who continue to use vim for some use cases, like on remote machines. How many vim users do you suppose use neovim for certain tasks? :)

> Well, the prevalent wisdom of 30+ years of FOSS has been that they're mostly bad.

My experience has given me the exact opposite impression. Forking may not always mutually benefit both projects, but the end result at worst occupies the time of a few disgruntled maintainers who would have likely stopped contributing anyway, and at best delivers real value for users by being responsive to their needs and desires.
I don’t see any real way to deal with it except overstaffing (not gonna happen), designing everything into discrete horizontal lines, or simply coming to terms with the idea that some locales will break more than others, depending on who you are and who your customer base is. And deciding what you’re gonna do about that when it arises.

Buttons are gonna look jacked up in German because all their words are 45 letters long. RTL plays havoc with the layout. Referring to Taiwan the wrong way is a Defcon 2 political crisis. And on and on and on, it never fucking ends.

What HashiCorp’s license change means for our customers
Anyone who chooses to work with Musk deserves what they get. It's been crystal clear for years what kind of person he is, this was her own doing.
I honestly don't remember the total number, but it was up there. I know they said it was the final interview before an offer would be given.

The manager of the team I would have been going on (FF for Android funnily enough) knew of some of (and said he actively used) my past work which was probably a leg up.

In the end they were far from the worst interviewers (hello Hopper for that title*), but it soured me against Mozilla after putting that much time and effort into it and just getting a "we're no longer hiring for this position" form email.

*: Never paying out their tech screening "payment", to rejecting me over an answer I never gave (we didn't like when you said "XYZ").
I've found a happy medium to be annotating functions etc with JSDoc style comments but keeping interfaces etc. in a .d.ts file. The Typescript compiler is able to import it from a .js file just fine.

> But the (modified) source is available to consumers of the service either way, under the AGPL?

If Amazon made an AGPLv3 licensed program available to others over a network, it would have an obligation to provide to anyone that has access to that program the complete corresponding source.

Today, there aren't any services from Amazon that offer AGPLv3 licensed programs as a service. An example that may come to someone's mind is Grafana, but there is a partnership there, and AGPLv3 is not the binding license in that case.

In my personal opinion, AGPLv3 compliance is not difficult, so long as the licensor of the software is committed to community-oriented copyleft enforcement principles [1].

Yeah this was my gut reaction as well... Why all the hate on the Supreme Court lately?

News you get for free is being paid for by someone / someorg.

I want to know who's agenda is being pushed, and who is paying for these stories and why.

Free news is just junk news (like junk mail) and needs to be ingested with a good measure of memetic resistance.
I don't agree with the premise that a 51% compute threshold is transformative, but it's scary to consider that collusion among a small number of big tech companies (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, AMD, Apple) would easily pass that threshold when it comes to GPU compute. More so when you consider they are also two steps ahead of everyone else when it comes to developing improvements.
It's the fact that the score is handled within the game mechanics itself – so the way to get a high score is not just to play but to play with the goal of modifying R12 (so it points to a high value)

They could have easily made score be handled outside the game and you get a point per every executed statement within the time limit etc – but that would not be as fun

Right. Don’t you think it’s a bit of a stretch to make strong evaluations of a platform if you use it very rarely, in a non-usual manner? Do you care to qualify your statements like:

> …Twitter is such a horrible place

Or

> [hateful content] is the *typical* content you get on Twitter

I agree there’s abominable things on Twitter - that’s what you get with a platform (now) focused on free speech. But you have to sort of go out looking for it. I think Twitter has done a good job championing freedom of speech while making it not so “hateful” for the average user.

> I think it's crazy, given how Russia is at least an indirect adversary to the US and EU in this war.

Why is this crazy? In general, would you like Twitter to ban sources that advocate for US adversaries in war?

> This doesn't work for people who aren't interested in information bubbles, yet nevertheless think free speech should reasonably restricted by law and by moderation.

I think you are conflating your unusual access pattern with the experience of people who don’t follow anyone (which is also rare). In addition, characterizing the act of following people as engaging in information bubble is very, very reductionist. Any decent intellectual would know to filter their sources and create a good information “bubble”; I want to hear from X because they are trustworthy, I want to read from Y because they are smart, etc. Without that information “bubble” every piece of information is of equal priority (and thus much waste in time).

Just because people throw the word around doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.

That withstanding, one can truly fall into a lull where you don’t get any opinions of the opposing side. But the solution is not to reject information filters altogether - that’s just random chance, intellectual laziness.

But above all, what I have issue with mostly is one’s (strong) evaluation of something without a serious attempt to understand it. Perhaps a bit intellectually dishonest, no?

Do you use other social media platforms? Do you see value in social media at all?

Well that seems like a waste. Why not give them to your local second-hand shop, put them up to pick up for free on your local small ads website, donate them to a library, give away to friend, or anything besides throwing them in the garbage?!

If you wanted to read it, surely someone else wants to as well. Then they can see for themselves that it's crap, without needing to have a new book produced for that.

Finding agreements is incremental work. Finding discrepancies is paradigm-shifting work. It's all part of the process called "science".

For me guix failed at simply being too slow to use, but that was years ago.

nix on the other hand, I loved the concept and idea, but it was just too much of a 'stop sign' followed by 'we don't do that kind of user activity here' to be usable. I tried for a few weeks to bend our wills together, but the systems' will won and I walked away.

I suspect my experience with guix would have been remarkably similar if I hadn't been put off by the speed - I love scheme, but guile has always seemed the second slowest implementation ever, and I suspected that was the cause for it taking so long to do anything in guix.

What counts as "human level"?

I would contend that a 5-year-old has general intelligence, and therefore an AI system with the language and reasoning abilities of a 5-year-old has artificial general intelligence.

But the discriminator of having to "pay an intelligent professional otherwise" sets the bar very high. That implies AGI must be an expert in every subject, surpassing the average human. I'd prefer we use a different term for that, like "artificial superintelligence."
When I got my first Roomba I quickly realized I had traded the chore of vacuuming for the chore of robot maintenance (our apartment had old, long carpet that would frequently wrap around brushes, wheels, etc. that never happened with a normal vacuum). It eventually got to the point where maintaining Roomba was more of a hassle than just vacuuming. I spent hours a month covered in dust trying to clean and debug Roomba failures.

When I realized how stupid this was, we got rid of the Roomba and used the vacuum again.

Several houses later, several generations of Roomba later, and hard floors, Roomba mostly works well. I infrequently need to tear it down to cut out hair and other stuck debris.

We should not expect first responders to adapt to and accept shortcomings of autonomous vehicles. If they endanger lives in novel ways that were never an issue before, they need to be deployed in areas where they won’t encounter those issues and/or be updated to recognize existing signals (tap, lights, traffic signal preemption devices, people telling them to move or go a different way, etc.).

If I can’t opt out of having a driverless car on my street I want to be absolutely positive it poses no higher risk to my family and neighbors than to other drivers without needing to remember to perform robot maintenance first.
At least we can solve this problem as tech entrepreneurs to society by making renting friends as a service possible.

This is not a matter of taste. VSCode is an alien in the C world. It's clumsy, demanding and offers plenty of useless features, whereas the simple stuff is hard / impossible to get to work.

If you work on a C project, you need to be ready to have to edit source code, at least minimally, from an environment that doesn't have GUI. You will have to interact with pagers, man readers, readline a lot -- it's a lot more convenient if your editor works in the same way as those tool.

You are just creating unnecessary problems when you use VSCode or a similar editor. And I cannot think about a single benefit that would come from using it. Beside other things, it's just a crappy text editor... the only thing that's going on for it is that it's a Web browser application... which is kinda worthless when it comes to a typical C project.
The muon g-2 measurements have nothing to do with floating rocks. This is not a superconductor update.

This is a high energy physics thing about failing to find something beyond the standard model. Just your regularly scheduled "5 sigma physics anomalies that disappear on their own with better measurements" programming.
And just to clarify: prevention is different from treatment (the context was treatment).

But most importantly, for clinical cases, physical exercise and similar won't do anything; just imagine a typical case of child abuse.
It’s well established that these interactions are much less common. The question is why.
OpenTerraform – an MPL fork of Terraform after HashiCorp's license change
Hashicorp switched Terraform from MPL to BSL yesterday. Many other companies did that in the past to prevent others taking their code and charging for running it as a managed service (eg Mongo, Elastic). With Hashi however, the server-side part was never open-source to start with. There was no such thing as "open-source Terraform Server". And now it seems that any commercial product that uses the Terraform language under the hood is at risk of violating the terms of the license.
Funny enough, our own product (Digger, an open-source CI runner for Terraform) is not using Terraform (or any other Hashicorp's code) under the hood. So this change probably hits other TACOS (Spacelift, Env0) much harder than us. But with the recent pricing changes and now the license there is no guarantee that Hashicorp won't make another move in the future that would one way or another hurt us. So if there was an MPL fork, we'd rather swith to that, just to stay on the safe side. And since there isn't one yet, we thought why not make one?
Yes, you're correct of course -- I'm just concurring that medicine is really really new.
There are a lot of cache-related performance behaviors that can be triggered by the "wrong" code. I was the product for a minicomputer system once and an outside performance consultant stumbled on one of those which caused a bit of a kerfuffle at the time. As I recall, it wasn't really an issue for real-world workloads but if you did things just wrong, it could be a significant performance hit.
A solo business is really idea oriented. Success or failure is closely linked to the value of the idea and your ability to market it.

Most software developers lack marketing skills and tend to underestimate the value of it. Even with a good product or service, it's pretty rare that customers will come looking for you.

It is for this reason that I formed an informal partnership --- I develop the product and my partner provides marketing and support. This has worked pretty well for the last 25 years.
My lower_bound is a bit better then

I’ve always much preferred Dana of the two Gioia brothers, and mostly for this reason. Ted is a great jazz critic and historian, but his constant sense of being impressed with himself is just too much. I had a friend in grad school—an exceptionally good amateur historian of music himself—who got into a fight with Ted about music on Ted’s Facebook page. My friend offered a pretty cogent and insightful defense of popular music, to which Ted responded with disdainful bloviating. Ted is the kind of elitist who is is adamant that he isn’t one—as though his background somehow precludes it. (Nevermind that background, while beginning in a working-class milieu, also includes two degrees from Stanford, a degree from Oxford, and a stint at McKinsey.)
Firefox works fine for me, setting have never been reset. Feels like you have some other issues to work out unrelated to free software.
