I understand what you're saying, but if you're not already in the OODA loop then you aren't actively monitoring the car. You could say, well, maybe the system lulls you into not being in that loop by taking most of the driving tasks away. I would say that having driven thousands of miles with it, it certainly doesn't feel like that to me. I'm still very, instinctively aware of how the car should be acting and even minor deviations from what I would do myself are very conspicuous and cause me to actively double-check its behavior. Also, in its current state, input is needed quite frequently.

And the empirical data available (which could definitely be higher fidelity, granted) appears to suggest that the actual safety record is quite good.

So we're left with a trade-off: there are some scenarios where a more featureful system could elevate risk, but there are other scenarios where it lowers them. It's not obvious on paper how to balance them, and the empirical (and, for me, experiential) data indicates the trade-off is a reasonable one.

Perhaps a large amount of the concern around this comes from people not being aware of what it's like to operate a car in this mode. Maybe people think you really don't have to pay attention? It knows when you've got hands on the wheel, it knows when you're looking at your watch or your phone or the car's display, and it will pretty aggressively prevent you from getting complacent. Not only will it beep, it might lock you out from using it entirely. (Lockouts never happens to me, but I have seen tweets from it happening to others.) There was an old pre-Waymo Google talk about how partial driving assistance was dangerous for this reason, and I bought that argument but I no longer find it convincing having used such a system a lot.
You shouldn't. If Kagi doesn't offer enough value for you to be worth that extra friction, don't use it. That's the free market at work.
While similar in spirit, CARI (the website linked in the post) is about aesthetics that can be found in consumer products. Aesthetics Wiki is broader, looser, and involved anything that people want to assign a name to. There are many things on Aesthetics Wiki that do not correspond to anything found in the consumer market.

I’ll do you you one better, replace everything with “bullshit”.

History is susceptible to narratives because anything that isn’t clear cut (slavery, holocaust, etc) is open to subjective interpretation.

It’s the conspiracy theorists that are the real wildcard in all of this. They will take the clear cut (slavery, holocaust) and make that open to subjective interpretation.

Funny stuff.
I rented a Tesla a couple years ago for a day trip a few states away. Mostly highway driving, which I would assume would be easier than random city streets. And that's how I spent a day with Tesla's FSD beta constantly trying to murder me. I'm surprised the body count isn't higher.

No links at hand, and I was unaware of the term “nicotinamide” for a form of vitamin B3. I am quite sure that I read claims of nicotine specifically being added, but I now suspect that the people writing that were misled by the name of nicotinamide. Thanks for enlightening me.
No, they're just your everyday normal drivers. Tens of millions of them. Most people - surprise - actually just follow the rules. That there are also many that do not means you're looking at a venn diagram where only the fraction 'drives a Tesla' and 'would be an unsafe driver' that overlaps is affected positively whereas those that 'drives a Tesla' and 'would be a responsible driver' may well be the larger fragment. And it says nothing at all about the population at large given that a Tesla is an expensive piece of kit.
Fair enough.

My default opinion of "vegan" items in menus of non-vegan restaurants is that they seem suspicious and are best avoided (I'm not talking about salads, of course). I tend to assume they are second rate meals put in the menu as an option for vegans who are there to dine with non-vegan friends.

I have been proven wrong on occasion, as some restaurants do offer decent options for vegans without specializing in it, but as a default intuition it seems more often right than wrong.

Vegan restaurants on the contrary can be quite good (again, with exceptions: just as there are bad steak houses or Italian restaurants, so there are bad vegan restaurants!). You just know the vegan items aren't an afterthought because every item is vegan.
Correction: needed to jump on the Maker movement 20 years ago.

In fact, they used to be right in the center of that! RadioShack was the maker movement back when makers were really into amateur radio and CB. Then they branched out into home computers (TRS-80, Tandy PC clones, etc). Then someone had the bright idea to completely divest themselves of their computer lineup[0] and just sell mobile phone service plans and satellite TV subscriptions... which nobody bothered with, resulting in the company becoming a zombie.

Had RadioShack stayed with the original hobbyist user base they courted (and somehow remained profitable) they'd absolutely be selling microcontrollers, 3D printers, and PC parts. Actually, that's just a Micro Center. The only thing is that Micro Center doesn't fit in the tiny store footprints that most RadioShack locations had. So... I mean, Micro Center isn't in a lot of states, so if they wanted to literally just clone Micro Center but with the Radio Shack branding I feel like there's places they could do that.

[0] Tandy was sold to AST who was then bought up by Samsung and then shuttered when Asian stock markets collapsed in the mid-90s. 8-Bit Guy talks about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hdazA-VUf0
Are you really trying to suggest that every driver is intoxicated or on their phone? Do you drive?
Assuming Cruise is being truthful, sure. But that's like the fourth attempt that Cruise has made to shift the blame. First it was "there was room", then it was "but the police were also blocking the ambulance in" – ignoring that police on official business generally have reason to park haphazardly. Then it was "only one Cruise vehicle was legitimately stuck, the other moved ASAP". But so far they've shared their video with one local news outlet, but are prohibiting the video from being disclosed publicly (hmm).

Where one party is motivated by profit and the other is not, I'm inclined to believe the latter. Having seen Cruise vehicles get wedged in traffic first hand I'm inclined to believe the fire department.

It might be neat if there was a top level domain that required no ads or paywalled content.

i.e. anyone can register a domain, but if an ad or paywall is found on a site there's a warning -> suspension -> domain unregistered. Only donation links accepted but they cannot provide extra content.

Hobbyist/amateur sites would thrive there as there would be attraction due to visitors being confident they won't be met with ads or paywalls.

It would be awesome until the registrar inevitably caves and gradually bends the rules to increase revenue.
If that's the case, then Twitter would have no need to change the TOS; their usage would already be permitted and changing the TOS would serve only to bring additional scrutiny
There's some software where it's important not to have bugs and know exactly what it does, and some where any attempt to specify what it's supposed to be doing, let alone fixing all the bugs, is a waste of time. (And things in between...)

Currently, a lot of instances of the first situation get the treatment befitting the second. This is because it's still too hard to use these tools at scale. However, the trend is certainly towards improving tooling and the cost of doing this will go down a lot.

Maybe in a hundred years programming will be replaced by either "formally specify what you want", if you know what you want, (AI fills in implementation of how it does what you want, as well as a proof that it does) or, if you only very roughly know what you want, explain it to the chatbot and answer it's questions.

I doubt that because I have personally felt the physical effects of fragrances, both good and bad, and they can be very noticeable.

A 3x improvement maybe not really be all that surprising. Smell is a pretty strong sense when you're young but it doe's fade when you get older, especially after the age of 60. It may be rewiring/re-energizing neural connections that are getting rusty (so to speak).

Should be pretty easy to test on one's self but you might have to be 60+ years old to get those results.

>It would suck even more if I was called in for a whole day just because I'd demanded that to be my minimum

This isn't really how it works though. If you find "getting called in" (what does this mean?) to be terrible, you should be charging more for that service. You should be in control.

The whole point is to generate enough surplus value that your client signs the cheque, no questions asked, and is happy to do it. You shouldn't squabbling over hours.
Why wouldn't ownership be public? See the recent uproar[0] over the semi-anonymous purchase of land near Travis AFB. This is a clear case where market inefficiency is bad; individual sellers need to know when markets are changing and a single entity is willing to pay above assumed market rates for a large contiguous region. Anyone in favor of strong markets should favor full transparency of real estate ownership and transactions. My fear is that otherwise we'll revert to de facto feudalism where the wealthiest entities can acquire and lease out virtually all real property.

> You could've just said no instead of going on some weird rant.

"Dude", I could, but then a valid follow-up would have been something like "why not?", and I think that I have sufficiently covered this.

> There are plenty of reasons for containerization

"Bro", I understand that containerization would make a small amount of sense under the following circumstances:

- The software in question was a giant package with a quadrillion dependencies which all interfere with each other. rssparser.lisp is not.

- The software in question will need to be deployed on a metric ton of very different machines. rssparser.lisp can easily be deployed without this additional layer.

History ought to be an evidence driven practise - the evidence (primary, secondary, tertiary) should drive the theory. It ought to be the scientific method applied to historical evidence.

As I read this post, the author is saying that Bulstrode had very little or no evidence to claim the story that was then widely circulated in many media outlets. The author is using that one example to illustrate a wider principle in play - that not many of the historical stories are based in sound reasoning. This is my assessment too.

If there is little or no evidence, where is the greater bias? Is it in the person that conjures up the story (Bulstrode) or in the author who is saying the story is not well supported?

We have barely reached 1.5° C and people are already dying by the thousands, people are already fleeing by thousands more—and people are already not accepted as refugees. There are entire areas which are become more and more inhospitably which are experiencing disproportionately more famines, coups, and even wars (namely the Sahel region in Africa).

As hacky as it ends up being in practice, there are some pretty solid theoretical fundamentals to the field of statistical learning.

The problem is the theory is constrained either to the micro-scale (individual layers/"simple" models, etc.) or to the supra-scale (optimization/learning theory, etc.).

Not much concrete can be said about the macro-scale (individual networks) in theoretical terms, only that empirically they seem tend toward the things the supra-scale theory says they should do.

The current controversy in the academia v engineers tussle is 1) what exactly do the empirical results imply and 2) how much does the theory really matter given the practical outcomes. The only thing the two sides broadly agree upon is that some amount of error will always exist because NNs can be broadly understood as lossy compression machines.

It feels like you just described war propaganda. Americans lie one way, the Russians the other. The better question is why are we in a war over current events (to your point over the news). Left propaganda and Right propaganda, for some invisible war.

What's the real story here? Why did Trump say the $10B would not be spent if he was not re-elected? What "changing global market conditions" is Foxconn referring to?

Edit: I found this interview here with a former Foxconn exec that goes some more detail: https://www.theverge.com/23030465/foxconn-lcd-factory-wiscon.... Summary as far as I can tell is that the deal from the previous republican governor was controversial because of the tax breaks and the next democratic governor renegotiated the deal. Politics, basically. I guess locals are OK with this? Seems unfortunate though since people lost their homes and it would have brought jobs.
I'd say it's plenty polemical, throughout. In and of itself, I don't have a problem with that, regardless of whether I disagree with the polemic. But the mass of self-contradictions (what non-null portrait is being drawn here: sub-wastrel ne'er-do-well with a successful private practice who can't navigate the real world and who has servants and an elegant summer house?), and the jaded and listless manner in which those polemics are doled out, each one basically amounting to just "but what do you expect these days, everything is X, Y, Z", makes it a real trudge to get through.

Kennan is an interesting subject. I think that is safe to say, but I also think that is pretty much the limit of what I can say in unqualified agreement with the essay. In a much more qualified way, I share his criticism of the neoconservatives who still run US foreign policy, in both major parties.

I would also recommend Stephen Kinzer's book, The Brothers, about Allen and John Foster Dulles, two figures who played far more active and significant roles, the consequences of which mark the world to this day.
> Do you see degrowth as a realistic possibility?

Degrowth will happen whether we want it or not. Because fossil fuels are not unlimited, and we are close to the global production peak. We don't have any technology that can remotely replace fossil fuels, and we don't remotely have the infrastructure anyway (it's not just about cars: everything relies on oil).

There are two ways: chosen degrowth is called "soberty". That's not super sexy, but the alternative (where we don't do it ourselves) is called "poverty".

We need to start changing society to degrowth in a controlled manner, for our own sake.
> The article can tell "Cort was informed about the new techniques from a family member back from Jamaica". How do you verify that? The only way is to redo the all work from scratch, refound all the historical references and cross-validate each of them. It's a huge work.

Since this is about checking textual references, as opposed to laboratory work, would it be possible for an LLM to do that? Seems like the hardest thing would be for the A.I. to log into the requisite gateways for the databases hosting the papers.

Can they compete with direct sellers, who sell their own products via shopify or some such, or with amazon selling those products?

I don't think so, maybe they could do well with local stores though. It seems weird to me though...

In the 80s, small towns of even 5000 people might have a radio shack. And more than 1/2 the store was parts and electronic supplies.

I can't think of who would buy from them, even though I did. Was it local appliance repair people? What made them profitable back then, in such small towns??

It may be hard to compete with amazon and digikey, for that part of their business.

But back to your thing, maker and right to repair, I think they might be OK in higher density population areas?

I don't think the dust has settled, amazon is sort of flailing about, has endless issues, and 5 years from now, direct Chinese sellers at Amazon could vanish.

What then?
