Yes, and demand alternatives. I went to an urgent care clinic last year, they wanted me to provide all my info on an app using my phone. I refused, said give me a clipboard. They were reluctant but eventually agreed.

Restaurants, just screw them if they demand apps. No restaurant is that good, and across the board the apps make the ordering experience much worse.

I can call Dominos and say "I'd like a large pepperoni pizza for carryout," give them my name, and be done before the app finishes loading and showing all its promo/coupon deals.

So yes, do business with companies that still have some vague notion of what customer service is. I have stopped expecting businesses to exceed my expectations (used to be the norm for most) but it's nice when it happens and they will definitely get my business again.

> But depth info is only part of the problem, and frankly it's clear at this point that it's one of the easiest.

That's proven false by the cars continuing to drive into stationary objects. This failure mode is not ambiguous.

Camera input is garbage for interpreting geometry, especially from very smooth or very discontinuous surfaces, and especially with the shitty low resolution and low dynamic range cameras they use, and especially with non-stereoscopic cameras with no motion freedom relative to the vehicle body. Lidar is a necessary crutch for working around the fact that, while hypothetical cameras that don't exist might work well, all available cameras are unsuitable for the purpose, and calculating multi-view geometry accurately costs time.

> The hard parts are in the recognition side: not "is that pedestrian in your path" (easy), but "is that pedestrian going to step into the street or not" (hard). And that's a computer vision problem.

Pedestrian motion is not strictly a vision challenge but a general category of environment understanding (mass, momentum, motion mechanics). Vision is only one possible input mode preliminary to modeling.
Because Scala 3, as great as it is, has fractured the community and caused a lot of churn.

Twice, just in my recent job history, have I worked for companies that were using Scala 2 for a long time but are now deciding to develop new projects in Java and/or Kotlin instead.
Ryanair is sufficiently bad that, as it's the only airline flying from where I live to where most of my friends live in the UK, I am likely to use the train next time.

Last time I used them, mass-cancellations from 1cm of snow combined with the next alternative flights being a week later, meant that I had to get home via a combination of ferry and train.

I think this suggestion lacks subtlety. More likely, around the time leading up to Sophia's birthday, you will see more ads for things (maybe even gift idea ads) that just so happen to be things Sophia would love (at least, according to their data).

The problem is also companies bragging about AI, but not releasing anything behind (like most of the recent Google announcements).

If nobody except the researcher can reproduce an AI paper, and there is no source-code, and no demos that the public can access, then it's almost like if it doesn't exist.

I wouldn't want to work in a company that would throw away my research and just use it for PR purposes.

That’s interesting. I tend to lump FB, Amazon, Google, and MS in my head when thinking about the tech giants, but you’re right, FB is the only one of those not offering a commercial platform. For them, building out the capabilities of the LLMs is something to be done in the open with community involvement, because they’re not going to monetize the models themselves.

They’re also getting a fantastic amount of press from all this, which is good for attracting talent and helping improve their image, at least among the nerd set.

I've never been to such an event where using your smartphone to pay was mandatory, it's usually just much faster and more convenient.

At many smaller venues, a credit card (or tap-to-pay) is required, and I'm 100% in favor of that. We should be doing more to help provide unbanked people with credit cards. Requiring small businesses to deal with cash is increasingly a burden; cashless enables them to save a lot of time and money.
Show HN: Declarative Spark Transformations with Hamilton
I'm really excited about this new feature in Hamilton and wanted to share. It allows you to express a series of spark transformations as a DAG of individual functions that can be managed at a column level, while running them efficiently on spark dataframes.
The amount of people here claiming that using an AI tool to create an image or video that can be shared, and that privately fantasizing inside your own mind, are equivalent, is boggling to me. Your fantasy-brain isn't hooked up to the internet where everything can be saved and reuploaded indefinitely. Personally I feel like I have the right not to appear in pornography produced by a computer that can be diffused worldwide. Privately made or otherwise. The other person's right to fantasy ends at the border of their skull. This is not an economics question, it is an ethics question.
Except there's a difference between a thought in your head and a digital image or video being published to the internet for profit, and it's weird that you can't comprehend this.

I have to assume there are a lot of people in this thread with interests in AI porn because there is a lot of aggressive missing of the point going on here.
great, except 99% of the time I want to handle the error by bubbling it up to a top level routine.

From my experience, "handling" the error means wrapping it in another error and returning, which is what you get from other languages for free.

While I agree with keeping the focus of people problems on people, I do disagree with your statement on local models as written.

If you write the model from scratch, and create all the data it is trained on yourself, then yes I agree it is like using your imagination.

However, these models are trained on commercial resources to at least some degree - so even your local model is likely still a commercial product.

I struggle to identify a meaningful metaphor to support my point, which I think is an interesting note on the kind of new territory we are in.

But in essence, it feels to me like if you use a commercial model locally to generate content that is illegal to trade commercially then you've effectively just put illegal content in a box and opened it at home. You cannot claim that a box containing illegal content is just a box and send it through the mail.

So I think it is in our best interest to play nice with this technology and not use it for questionable purposes or else the inevitable law that will need to be put in place is "it is illegal to trade or own AI models capable of GENERATING illegal content"
It would be interesting to speculate a future where people doing deep work on big projects are on some near light speed craft, to buy an expert a longer working life on some essential project with a sound mind due to time dilation, versus if they did that work in a lab on earth.

i remember that article from may (linda stone from this NYT article wrote that blog post). it really made sense to me then and it does now. i used to smoke 25+ cigarettes a day and i believe it was not uncommon for me to have a heart rate of 115+bpm while sitting around doing nothing after smoking a cigarette. i also have been mostly working from home for a decade or more and i barely moved for many of those years. i started getting into yoga a while back and learned a breathing technique called ujjayi. i also started going on a lot of long walks. and since 2018 i've been playing a wind instrument again. i quit smoking some time ago as well. my breath is so much deeper and my general health - physical and mental - is so much better than it used to be. i actually just did a deep inhale recalling how things were for me and reflecting on how much better they are for me now.

i'm curious if anyone has any experience with that butyeko thing in particular...
They are different branches of law, but neither is more tightly connected to the concept of “ownership” than the other. Saying that your likeness rights are something you have ownership over while things you own copyright to are not is a gross mischaracterization.

In defence of RyanAir, they are upfront end honest about this and you know what you're getting with them. Whether you think it's a good deal is a subjective matter you can decide for yourself, but I do think it's a fair deal.

That said, I would have used my discretion as a RyanAir employee here: the heavy fee is to encourage people to not "lazy out", which is clearly not what happened here.

Here, in Brazil, this is becoming more and more common, but in the US it's already an endemic problem for those who don't use tech.

My biggest issue with all this comes to the forced dependency of 3rd party services and ToS agreements to use something totally unrelated to it, along with all the technical issues that, we all know, happens every time. For example, here the federal bank will ask you to install their app trough App/Play store. Since there are still MANY tech illiterate people here, they still have in-person service. But for the majority of people, they will try to force you to use the app. It's a "don't you guys have phones?" issue i see spreading everywhere, but almost nobody complains about it because... it's easier. They don't care about privacy, data collection, none of this, and companies (with government bodies) are taking advantage of this for reasons i rather not speculate about here.

During Covid, i took my first dose of vaccine and the nurse said "check out our Instagram to see the next date of vaccination". "But i don't have a Instagram account or any social media. Is there any official channel, like a .gov website?" i asked, and she shrugged like 'its your problem then'. I walk out of any restaurant that forces you to scan a QR code for the menu, and if possible, i avoid the usage of my phone all together. As long as people are compliant in that behavior, things will only get worse.

You can use Occam's razor[0]: simpler solution with smaller set of elements has better probability to be true.

a) Bing Bang model of evolution of Universe: single point, big bang, expansion of Universe, acceleration of expansion, time dilation, space-time warping. (6 extra elements)

b) Steady Universe model of evolution of Universe: tired light. (1 extra element)

I guess this is anticipatory of the technology improving. Deep fakes still look much better than this since most of the image is still real. If the images based on "real" people look like the image at the top, which I imagine they do, it's not much different than drawing a cartoon picture intended to resemble a real person, which for now is still legal, at least in the US, provided you don't actually profit off of it (why some video game sports have to use intentionally generic players even though they don't look realistic anyway).

If the concern is people might believe any of these people are really doing the things in the generated art, though, that is premature. We don't know how long it will take to get past this uncanny valley, but there is still a hell of a gap. That "woman" at the top has no pores, no lines in her skin, appears to be growing head hair from her arm, has three fingers on her left hand, has two left feet, the big toe is on the wrong side of both feet, she has six toes on one foot and four on the other, she has an extra heel popping out of the front of her ankle on the right foot. This is still way behind even a hand-drawn cartoon in terms of realism.
The old school way is to add logic based on the strengths and weaknesses of each sensor type. My example is not specific to automotive sensors (I haven't worked in the automotive sector, but I do have now-outdated experience in obstacle detection and ranging, along with avoidance algorithms).

Sonar sensors are most accurate at medium ranges, but they are notorious for detecting ghost objects that do not really exist. Infrared range sensors are more reliable but are only accurate at very short range. So when a sonar sensor detects an object 8.4 meters away, you use the infrared sensor to double check. If the infrared sensor says there's an object 9 meters away in the same direction, you assume the object is real but is actually 8.4 meters away. If the infrared sensor says the nearest object in that direction is 20 meters away, you assume the sonar sensor made something up.

If you have enough types of sensors, you can also use a "majority rule". If two of 3 sensor types agree, you assume the 3rd is an anomaly. Lidar is excellent for this because it is accurate across a very large range, so it tends to overlap with most of your other sensors. This increases that odds that when there is a disagreement, one of the agreeing sensors will be capable of accurately measuring the distance to the object.

> To be specific it's the "average time across all space" ran more slowly,

No, that is not what happened. The article's description is seriously misleading. The effect it is describing is only an appearance due to the redshift. it does not mean time "actually ran slower" back then.

> here's no "low density" patch so you're actually comparing it to something that doesn't exist quite yet, hence a bit weird?

Not just "a bit weird"--wrong. What you are saying here is a crucial difference between the universe as a whle and an isolated gravitating mass like a black hole, and that difference means that the notion of "gravitational time dilation" that works for an isolated gravitating mass is not valid for the universe as a whole. The "time dilation" described in the article is not like the gravitational time dilation around a massive object. It is like the "time dilation" due to relative motion in special relativity, which is only apparent and does not reflect any actual difference in clock rates.

This can be dealt with mandatory disclosures enforced by law that the imagery is AI generated and not real.
But this solution will not satisfy you, will it?
These systems also regularly fail for travellers who don't fit the assumptions developers make about users. For instance the app might not be available on the app store for foreign users, or might require a local phone number, or might enforce a format that does not match the user's data.

They frequently fail for groups who complete a task together, or people who act on behalf of someone else.
It was made available internally, I believe. So this is one of the many Meta engineers on this site —- after all, Facebook is now less hated than Google here ;)
I see it as similar to what happens when your credit card gets messed up or won't read anymore. It's a similar level of inconvenience.

That said, I have found it easier to replace a phone on short notice than a card. Banks seem to want to do everything through the mail, where I can walk into any carriers store and walk out with a replacement device the same day.
Yes, of course - an iphone is so much cheaper and easier to use than a passport or a paper boarding pass.

"isn't considered desirable by all of your fellow male colleagues either."

True, and I was one of them (and one of the few, but it never bothered me that much even if I didn't partake—as it was the cultural norm).

It's amazing how people read meanings into comment that was never said let alone meant as subtext. That 'teenager' reference I consider offensive because many of the things you presume I must have been saying I likely never thought let alone ever did say out loud.

You clearly aren't of the same generation as me, it's a shame we don't have hidden recordings of those times so you could fully appreciate how truly different they were to the present.

Moreover, even then, the ethos was very different depending on what part of society one was in. Such comment was from my experience more common in the military but it was still pretty much accepted the norm in 'polite' all-male company.
That is extremely different than a ponzi scheme. Plenty of people who buy and sell stock every day think the underlying investment sucks.

What they are measuring is the apparent "speed" of processes back then. But that apparent speed is an effect of the redshift. It does not mean that clocks were actually running slower back then. The article's description is seriously misleading.
Per other thread, the Scottish law prohibiting non-consensual distribution of "intimate" images uses the phrasing "shows or appears to show". So sufficiently realistic fakes that might be taken for real might be illegal, although there has not yet been a test case.

I think for code signing signatures, it's common to cache successful validation status beyond certificate expiration because it's not exactly easy to renew file signatures. So things were fine with expired certificates until the revocation. For certain revocation events, you absolutely want to invalidate past signatures and cached validation status along with them. But maybe not for this one, hard to tell.
