> Where’s the problem? Either they stop inserting ads, or they pay.

Well, one pretty big problem is that nothing analogous to "stop inserting" ads is an option provided by the law as passed in reality. You've made it up to make the law sound better than it is. That you had to resort to such fibbing seems like a pretty good indicator on how flawed the bill is.
Fart fan, point the outlet towards the back yard. Bathroom is quiet for me. Never open the window.
They definitely aren’t ready and should move away from operating in SF altogether. They should operate out larger cities with wider roads or limit where they operate in SF like bus lines.

I think this compromise needs to happen because SF didn’t plan for robotaxis when the roads were built decades ago. Towns like Phoenix and Las Vegas have the roads to support it. So they should consider splitting operations that way to continue working.

This does nothing but make other towns think the taxis aren’t ready and will fight to keep them out of their towns.

It’s an optics issue at this point if they want to convince people the robots can drive better than humans
How fast can you get an "uber" now that there's driverless cars in SF? I'm jealous.
And yet the government extorts all similar public spaces
At the end of the day we're watching the fabric of society disintegrate (maybe I'm going a bit hyperbolic?) but we're cheering for the corporations.
In Poland you pay 12% revenue tax or 19% linear income tax + lowered social security. A lot of developers don't even consider companies which don't have arrangements like this because the difference is so high. A no-name company which allows B2B can outbid Google (which pays like shit in Warsaw anyway).

I remember exactly the same thing as a kid in certain books. I acutely remember the feel/texture of the paper of those vomit smell books too. So funny.
I built a custom blog using Django the other day, and made some detailed notes on how I did it since it's been a while since the last time.

Atom support was easy, thanks to Django's built-in syndication library (a feature for over 18 years at this point https://github.com/django/django/commit/944de9e9e638bc239b03...)
I’m just encouraged when I see ML libraries not using Python w its environment kludges. Just a step in the right direction.
Then my assumption would be they would require an agreement in place prior to disclosing the actual ToS, you can't be in a situation where you breach the ToS prior to digesting them.
Very popular line of thinking with people who own (e.g.) Harley-Davidsons… which are loud out of the box.

No they are not, at least not in the U. S. Thé EPA dictates a max dB sound output, and HDs must meet it, like everyone else. Stock HDs sound quite nice.

Of course, you might not know this because no real American leaves a HD dealer with the stock exhaust installed.
That really does hand wave away a lot of important details. Those problems on the ground are the reason I am generally not pro nuclear… not because intrinsically I think it’s a bad idea to split atoms.
What percentage of bad drivers on the roads in SF are actually autonomous vehicles? There aren't many of them, but they're driving around _all_ the time.
I am not remotely interested in what the ISO standard says about C, and I am even less interested in what the ANSI standard says about C++, a completely different language.

C is not defined by or constrained to the standard. It predates it and every implementation extends it, as is intended by the standard.

The person confusing the standard with the language is you.
As a Canadian, trying to wrap my head around this whole kerfuffle reminds me of an old South Park episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeWn3Sso2RE). Naturally. Slightly abbreviated:

> So... What exactly does Canada want?

> We want ... more ... moneh.

[dramatic pause]

> Yeah, more moneh!

> More money from where?

> How-how 'bout the Internet! The internet makes lots of moneh. So give us some of that moneh!

> Yeah, give us internet moneh!
You’re squarely on the side of protectionist government funded media here like the CBC, not local news
Probably a decent chunk of them, due to having them committed to muscle memory.
There's a bizarre trend I have seen in the past decades where "The Government" is being portrayed as the enemy — not as the construct we have created to represent the wishes and needs of the people and society. Corporations are portrayed as our saviors at best — or at worst, excused for doing whatever they need to to make their shareholders a return on their investments.
Hey, the developer here!

Thanks for using it :)

Maybe could look like this... I have my hand tied because I'm not the owner of the artwork
Some bizarre UI decisions. Why are the extra options hidden behind the +2? Why does the selector obscure the face? Why are the previews for features so tiny as to be useless?

Otherwise, nice.
I mean I won't lie, I like how my bikes look. I like the style of wearing my gear and whatnot. It's what I grew up aspiring to do, I wanted to ride from the time I was like 12.

I'm 31 now and have ridden all my adulthood and still like the style, but I don't intend to announce my presence via annoying sound to everyone within a football field radius.

I actively try to be a friendly driver unlike some of the dumbasses I share this hobby with who make us all look bad.
There’s a parallel with ChatGPT.

It’s like an intern that never gets tired of reading and learning and answering any question the moment you ask it any time of the day.
Nice app but I miss realtime rain info. I prefer Yandex Weather:

> People often think that lowering meat consumption (something we absolutely have to do) means eating bugs.

I have not heard this but I can believe that's what people think, however it seems a bit weird to me, do these people think insect meat is not meat, like some people consider fish to be somehow vegetarian?
the "non-verbal semantic frames vs individual words" one? Not true for all people, if any truly are. Interrupt most people, they need to start the sentence again for example. Similar things may be true for transformer networks, which is why these can do high quality zero-shot translation between languages for which these were shown no translation example using only their 'understanding' of that language and the knowledge of how to translate between some other languages. This is because once a LLM has to be polyglottal it is more efficient to gain an 'understanding' of concepts then separately an understanding of language. This way it can save on space for learning new concepts and simply learn to map its 'personal understanding' if you will to the target language.
It's based on how much money Cruise has.
They don’t have much of one left as it is.

It’s what happens with limited competition and no real repercussions from poor behavior that takes them in billions.
It's an absolutely delusional argument imo. I think SciShow did an episode on it, but drivers can not hear motorcycles until they're right next to them, and I believe it has to do with how sound travels.
Hey, the developer here!

Thanks for your feedback :)

I'm planning to make an update of the look and feel of the app
I agree with everything you just wrote. I find that a lot of discourse about the military industrial complex gets very black/white - to the point that a lot of people seem willfully ignorant of the ways that the MIC has enabled their livelihoods.

The MIC certainly isn't all good. But it's kept a lot of people fed and generated a ton of research and technology that has, on net, made the world a better place.

The reality is a lot more nuanced than most of these comments lead you to believe.
Unfortunately the only expertise politicians understand is making money so hopefully meta starts seeing the value of lobbying
What makes it arbitrary is that "a public safety exemption" isn't specified or codified in the language of the anticipated regulation.

Even it if were, there's also another practical wrinkle with using the concept of "public safety" when it comes to "news". Would the definition, for example, include "fake news"?

A company can also decide that it is too risky to automatically detect whether a news article complies with the law (e.g. IF public_safety THEN allow_share) and so it is more practical to just have a simple exclusion for sharing news.
Interesting. It still doesn't seem to be very quick: https://github.com/leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp/issues/6

But don't get me wrong, I look forward to playing with ggml SD and its development.
the content was already created. posting it to facebook is an optional means of distribution.

no, i wont consider posting the article to be work.

> rent seeking is wanting to be paid for no new work

which if it weren’t information about disasters, most people wouldn’t care about too much.

posting or hosting, once the article is written, it’s all rent seeking.
Well I can sort of see the wisdom in news sites getting paid for embedded content, otherwise no one goes to their site.

But links? If I search Google for news, are Google supposed to pay for displaying links to news websites?
Nah, what's low is to pretend that the solution to any of those is surveillance deployed at scale. Police officers in cruisers with radar and noise guns coordinating amongst one another to pull over and fine some drivers with very loud cars accomplish the same result without empowering abusive centralized authorities with boxes that hear everything 24/7.

> That doesn't mean we shouldn't have laws.

Nobody said we shouldn't have laws.
I've had a few close family members pass from cancer. I was a caretaker during these times for them. Talking with them, changing them (people are really heavy!), feeding them, medicating them, bathing them, etc. We had very good hospice support and paid a lot for it, but during the pandemic, everything kinda went to shit, so it was up to me and a few others most of that time.

Dying of cancer is unique to every person and their cancer's progression. But, from my own experiences, dying of cancer is a fucking horrible way to go.

The pain is quite bad as it colonizes various nerve bundles and organs. Morphine only does so much and wanes as the person gets addicted to it and requires more and more to get the numbing results. As such, your mind goes with the morphine intake, a welcome relief really. You can lose function in your limbs and bowels too, though not always. You stop eating and drinking, but you don't stop thirst and hunger. Death really does become a welcome relief after enough weeks/months of this. Then there is the just normal health hazards and pains of laying down and generating filth. The rashes and sores, the muscle loss, the boredom. It's quite horrible. And that's with loving family members helping you at a moment's notice. One pro-tip here, if you can get a death doula.

Look, I get the sentiment here. Yes, live your life, don't worry so much about how it's going to end. There's likely nothing you could have done different anyway. Your end is going to really suck, no matter what. Better to have it be quick and as painless as possible.

But, I do want to advocate for taking common sense measures about carcinogen avoidance. Those are absolutely worth the time and effort. Do not smoke, don't have lead paint in your house, don't be stupid or lazy about getting these things away from you. Your future self will be very thankful you did that. I know, I've helped dying people who didn't.
Fb killed most of the previous forms of media that people would have turned to for this news. But now facebook will sell us the solution, but only if we don’t regulate them in any way. Sounds fair?
> The car hit her because Uber purposefully disabled the Volvo SUV's built-in autobraking systems

Are autobraking systems mandatory? If amazon is doing deliveries using vans without autobraking systems, should they also get flak?

>and because the self-driving system detected and classified her with plenty of time to react...and simply did nothing to avoid hitting her. A complete and total failure of the self-driving control logic.

But that's why the human driver is there, right? To catch the system when it fails?

>Even if the safety driver had not been playing with their phone - it's well demonstrated that the whole concept of a 'safety driver' is bullshit; in studies, the drivers are terrible at taking over when they haven't been in control of the vehicle.

No, she was terrible at taking over because she was streaming hulu.
There are 3 million people in "top 1%" bracket in the US. I think "super" becomes quite a cheap word if you use it to describe a group of millions.
Hey, the developer here!

Thanks for your honest feedback!

Could you don't mind giving some thoughts on improving the overall UI?
Not as fast as you'd expect -- both Cruise and Waymo are currently invite-only.

IIRC, Cruise just built a pretty large hub at 16th and South Van Ness, perhaps that explains the high Cruise traffic on Mission at night?
I agree to some degree, but we sorta-kinda already have that. Canadians can go to CBC or any other Canadian news source for that information. A certain large demographic have learned to rely on social media for discourse, as they not only get the news, they can have threaded discussions about it.

The law that Meta is complying with hasn't even passed yet. This is a clinch found in that upcoming law, so you'd hope that Meta would be willing to work around it if the ones implementing the law are willing to.
Perhaps a bit difficult to implement. Why not let these cars be checked with an exhaust test every year? That is common in NL and DE at least.
Even their physical hdds you have to be careful.

Yeah, my experience was indeed something else, regarding the software industry in Iberian Peninsula, Germany, France and Switzerland from 1970's until modern times.

What triggers me is the usual kind of message that C wiped everything away, being the first of its kind, when on other realities, it only started to matter when UNIX tooling became part of the picture.

On my bubble C became a thing, when Windows 3.0 went mainstream.

Coding in C on MS-DOS was mostly preparing exercises for Xenix programming classes, a single tower that students had to take turns on, so we need to prepare everything in advance on Turbo C 2.0.

On Amiga it was mostly Assembly and AMOS, on the demoscene community I was part of.

Oh I wish FAANG would just rangeban my entire country due to the dictatorial politicians and judges. I bet WhatsApp alone could generate enough pressure to bring these people to their knees. I mean, Google posted a small link against the law in the search page and they hit them with a totally arbitrary $200k per hour fine for "abuse of market position" until they removed it. You'd think they wouldn't want to be in a country with literal power tripping supreme court judges ordering censorship left and right.

The truth is of course they're making far too much money to give a shit and would rather obey and make slightly less money instead of leaving and making zero.
>Tesla vehicles should be compared to similar vehicles driven by people that can afford a Tesla. (Not to a national average that includes lots of small, cheap or old cars).

That's what I said in the original comment?

>overall accident rates (controlling for reasonable variables of course)
Can someone explain what it looks like from a user's perspective when an article is blocked? Is there an error message? Limited reach? Plain link instead of rich preview?

If the publishers don't want their photo, headline, and first sentence or two appearing without payment as a rich preview on Facebook, well ok. I think it's a stretch, but I can at least see their perspective. It's worth noting that publishers are already in control of that preview with Open Graph tags.

However, if they want to get paid for an unadorned <a> tag, that completely goes against the spirit of hypertext.
That's stellar. It'll be sure to benefit others on the platform.
Cheems, the Shiba Inu meme dog, has died
The Cruise app is “invite only until they have more cars”.

So not fast for me yet.

For friends that do have an invite it seemed pretty much the same as an Uber. 10 or so minutes to get a ride home around dinner time.
It is based on mapy.cz [1] - Outdoor layer. It is mostly OSM based (plus lot of their own data for Czechia and Slovakia). Mapy.cz belongs to same guy, who runs Windy (Ivo Lukačovič [2]). IMHO it is best readable map on the internet and when I am used to it, I cant find anything on Google Maps.

I'm on the side of journalism in general. Local journalism is my most favored, national my second. Both though are more important to me than an ad-selling corporation.

I know "protectionist" is a word that is supposed to have negative connotations. Maybe though I missed how the government is acting against the interests of the Canadian people.
In the US especially it seems to be the trend. I've ridden elsewhere where the problem seems to be less present (but not non-existent).

They pass it off as safety to make up for their lack of skill. It's honestly appalling the low amount of skill/practice needed to get a bike here in the states.

If I can rant for just a moment: I must be getting old because, man I wish that video would just let me... breathe... for one second. Literally: I did not count a single full second of silence in the first two minutes. The editing is sentence after sentence with no breaks for me to digest and think about what they are saying. I guess this is the modern style of video making and it is reflective of our times, but I find it so exhausting. At least it's not as bad as TikTok.

I'll stick to my slow as molasses Ken Burns and BBC docs from the 90s where I can ooze into the atmosphere, and yell at the clouds too I suppose ;D
> I think of enshitification primarily as an organisational/business phenomenon rather than a technical one.

The other two important criteria implied by this new term are that it is deliberate and that it is taken for the benefit of the “author” (company) at the expense of the user.

Bugs are inadvertent and have no intent so don’t match either criterion.

Google’s so-called “integrity” system is DRM for the benefit of advertisers (and thus Google), not users. Intel’s on-chip security manager isn’t for the user’s benefit and adds security risks.

Encrusting photoshop or Word with a million features or back-compatibility with a mistake made decades ago may make the program worse, but are in service of giving customers what they want. It may make the application worse in some ways but the motivation is pro-customer, regardless of the ultimate result. (Note: I chose these two programs bc I don’t even like either)
> One intern was told to deploy the app and I guess he made a mistake and updated k8 configs which deleted all the pods. Tell me how code reviews are supposed to catch it.

So you don’t have a staging environment to check config changes before deploying to prod? Or you don't put k8s manifests (or helm charts or whatever)in source control and just update prod through CLI? And you let interns do it alone?

Your problem isn't interns, it's a terrible deployment processs with weak controls. Even senior engineers are going to break prod regularly in conditions like that.
Question for adults in "Ask" cultures: How do you deal with adults who ask for unreasonable things or continue to ask for something after you have politely said no?

One example is a salesman at a store like Best Buy who continues to push extended warranties after you say no. (I often resort to losing my temper and saying "If you say another word about the extended warranty, I am going to walk out of the store!")

Another example is an adult that I carpooled with to a political rally. When I told him I telecommuted, he asked me to help him on the campaign during the day. The request was insulting because he assumed that I sat around and did nothing from most of the day.

Later the adult asked me to take a day off of work to fix his computer. At first I pointed out that that was a rude request to make, but he continued to push on me to fix his computer. A day or two later he emailed me screenshots from his computer without me asking for them.

(I should point out that if he had merely asked, "Hey could you look at my computer and help me with something," I probably would have found the time to visit him and help him.)

And of course they don't reply because they know anything they say will be used against them in a lawsuit.
