> The horrific crash occurred at 9:35 p.m. at Market and Fifth streets after the traffic light turned green, giving the Cruise car and other car — which had been waiting side-by-side for the light — the right to enter the intersection where a woman was walking, according to video of the crash

In fact, the driver of the car did not have "the right to enter the intersection" if it meant they were going to run a pedestrian over, no matter what color the light was.

How did we get to the point where reflexive empathy for drivers over everyone else has completely trumped basic understanding of both the law and human decency?
Manipulation is hardly required. Whenever 'best interests' are invoked I always think fondly back to the underground man's rant on the topic in Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground which I believe is some of the most fundamentally piercing insight into human behavior in existence. The most fundamental interest is ultimately doing whatever the hell I want at any given moment.
if someone is trapped under your vehicle do you really think the right idea is to move? that is how you make the situation worse.
> Also, what about if the user can just maintain one schema file (no migrations), and the lib figures out the change and applies it?

Because that only solves the DDL issues and not the DML. It is still useful though.

I use a schema comparison tool that does exactly this to assist in building my migration and rollback plans, but when simply comparing two schemas there is no way to tell the difference (for example) between a column rename and a drop column/add column. The tooling provides a great scaffold and saves a ton of time.
> - The longest application time went to the United States Postal Service (10 minutes and 12 seconds).

My spouse is not in tech but in comms. The quickest I know she's done an application has been O(hours) primarily due to writing cover letters, personalizing resume and often sending in clips.

Having seen that, I find it amusing that we techies (yes me too) get annoyed when we have to provide our Linkedin AND all the information on that page.
It’s funny because you’re actually arguing against yourself. Those of us who want to reduce car dependency think exactly that: the use of cars, trucks and roads should be reserved for the less able, the elderly, delivery and emergency vehicles etc. Everyone else who don’t need to be there shouldn’t be. Imagine how much easier and safer everyone’s life would be if roads weren’t gridlocked by the countless million people making unnecessary trips in single occupant automobiles who don’t need to.
Per TFA it's 3 electric motors (2 front, one rear), so I imagine something like:

6-speed going from ICE to rear-differential, with an electric engine on the either between the engine and the transmission (like the Insight IMA) or between the transmission and the wheels.

2 electric motors in front, one going to each front wheel.

I rather suspect that if it has an electric-only mode it will be FWD.

[edit]

From an earlier article:

> Two of those will power each of the front wheels individually, while the third one is positioned between the transmission and rotary engine, and will have an assist function like in a mild-hybrid. Car vlogger and YouTuber, Kirk Kreifels, noted that this is a similar setup to the now-discontinued, second-generation Honda NSX with the main difference being that the mid-engine NSX was a F-HEV while Mazda’s latest patents suggest a P-HEV architecture.

> what is your expertise in education?

Expertise in a subject is not required to think rationally about it. Do you require those who agree with you to have expertise in order to form a rational opinion?

> Why do you think “equity” is driving disparate outcomes, let alone more disparate outcomes?

Because according to hard data, it is. For example, delaying Algebra 1 and the other "equity" programs in the San Francisco school system did not improve outcomes or even manage to bring down top performers. Everyone did worse except those with means to be tutored outside of the classroom -- that's a more disparate outcome.

> Do you actually think that any teachers are being taught that their primary job is to create activists?

Yes, I do.

> (and do you have a source?)

Many. Here are a few I just cribbed from Google. These demonstrate the ideas that are going around in modern liberal education:

- https://www.graduateprogram.org/2020/02/how-teachers-can-fos...

- https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED600797.pdf

- https://hechingerreport.org/opinion-educators-must-be-on-the...

> What, specifically, do you think an education degree consists of, and what is your personal experience with that curriculum?

Again, why is this relevant to the discussion? I have heard multiple sources I trust from multiple angles emphasize that today's educators must make activists out of the next generation.

I've also read that today's graduating seniors feel a massive emotional burden because of the beliefs that their education has (probably unwittingly) instilled in them -- namely, that it's up to them to fix society's problems through activism.

Internet comments and most public discussion doesn't have to be held to the same standards that academic papers do... I hope you don't require people you talk with in person to have expertise in order to have a rational opinion on a subject.

> assuming it can sell advertising and search slots at the same price as Google

I'd imagine if Apple did launch a search engine (which I don't really believe is fully within their proficiency wheelhouse, though maybe buying something like Kagi could work?) I'd think they could sell their ads for more than Google does for the same reasons developers make more on iOS compared to Android.

All that said I'd really not like to see Apple go down the advertising route. I'm already unhappy with the amount they do and would like to see that shrink, not grow.

Most of these files have a double license header.
I think it should be seen the other way around. Why should I have to stop moving, meaning using my brakes and subsequently the gas, just because the other drivers wanted to rush up to the light and wait? It's much easier for everyone if we do this smoothly
pretty much this. My 15 year old is in precalc and everything is memorization of steps. So I explain everything to her so she doesnt have to memorize how to solve the problems.

For example in trig they define quadrant I, II, III, IV and whether sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot are positive or negative. Im sure they briefly taught why, but for the problems it is just memorization. Most in the class dont understand the relationship between sin/cos and X and Y coords in the unit circle.

I told her it can be faster to memorize, but understand it so you can double check to make sure things are right.

There is no way a poor student can get through precalc unless they are way above the average because their parents likely cant help them at all.
> Gizmodo is reporting on somebody else's investigation

This is Gizmodo's business model. It is a glorified blog. They don't do original reporting. Gizmodo was originally a property of Gawker, and thus the model is essentially commentary and opinion on the reporting generated by other organizations.

Because Gizmodo is really just an opinion/editorial blog, it doesn't really attempt to provide unbiased or fact driven reporting. So it is then no surprise that the actual facts align quite poorly with the headline.
I've long thought there's potential in using drones to transport drugs and light equipment to hospitals. Crewed helicopters are expensive and risky, but the stakes are lower when your drone is only carrying a few thousand dollars of a drug that's rare enough it's not worth stocking.
Since the first three letters are good, and generated only with the context of the preceding letters, shouldn’t just using the first three (instead of the preceding three) as context for every other one be good enough?
Sounds like a novel idea, honestly.

Basically, a multi-layered video/presentation format.

PDF would make a nice layer to that, being able to change slides based on the timeline of the feed... or even change the slide manually, and it navigates the timeline to that point.
What's needed is a "C historian" who documents all the attempts to rework or compete with C, and make an analysis and summary of the results and trade-offs. I doubt there's a free lunch (no trade-offs), but studying past attempts can tell what's been close.
If a human driver had been driving, they also could have fled the scene, like the other human driver who caused the whole problem in the first place, and left the woman laying on the road in the dark, you know, just waiting for the next human driver to drive over her. Lets not forget that the woman was crossing the intersection on red, violating the laws that are meant to keep her safe, which again is something that the robots tend not to do. Basically, what we have here is two humans fucking up and yet we blame the robot for doing the best it could given the circumstances.

Linux? No. It's a computer program. Computer programs have no needs (yet).

I don't think 'undoable' is the clearest description, the crux is this:

> Keep two versions of the schema (previous and next) accessible at the same time during the whole migration process

This has some obvious advantages. Like you said you can't easily roll back once a migration is fully live, but it helps a lot if you can cancel a migration once it turns out it doesn't work.
Room XYZ was innocent!
I don't want to start a discussion, I wanted to know if I misread your original comment, and whether you meant something different from what I thought you meant.

That is all I wanted (after at first wanting to be helpful).
You're assuming that your country is going to remain a democracy.

The 20th century has a bunch of examples of countries that were democracies, until they weren't. That's probably the main reason for which the EU is pro-privacy. Because Europe has seen what can happen when data falls into the wrong hands.
What a surprise to see antispeciesism show up here!
I was trying to make sense of the imperative part, and the documentation (http://retina.inf.ufsc.br/picat_guide) says:

> In order to handle assignments, Picat creates new variables at compile time. In the above example, at compile time, Picat creates a new variable, say X1, to hold the value of X after the assignment X:=X+1.
But theft is quite a different thing, is it not? It's a physical act that someone can be caught engaging in - be it by another person, a guard or a security camera. Sure, the "barrier for entry" to commit it is low, but retailers et al. are doing as much as they can to raise it.

Piracy most often isn't treated as a criminal matter, but a civil one - few countries punish piracy severely, but companies are allowed to sue the pirate.

I agree with OP in principle - regulating generative AI use would be way harder than piracy or whatever, especially since all of it can be done purely locally and millions of people already have the software downloaded. And that's not getting into the reasoning behind a ban - piracy and similar "digital crimes" are banned because they directly harm someone, while someone launching Stable Diffusion on their PC doesn't do much of anything.
EULAs and immortal social constructs like corporations are independent of the consequences of human actions upon other humans. Narratives of amorphous unaccountable Mastodon "community" don't change the fact that one or more humans made policy decisions with consequences for other humans. Fortunately, there are many projects competing to replace Mastodon, so lessons will be learnt eventually.
Cool, can this be used to find solutions of random equations? Like in Mathematica?
I was responding in a sub-thread about risks/opportunities associated with sequential IDs with an anecdote on opportunities.
I actually looked at the website you linked and frankly I don't think you did. Surprise: The website linked doesn't cite any data.

Here's what it does do:

- Links to: "ZipDo, cited June 2023: Self Driving Cars Safety Statistics". which is NOT a study, it's just a carbon copy of this website

- Links to website landing pages, like "https://www..deloitte.com"

- States "Statistics researched: 18", but never tells us what those were.

- Finally it has the most inane clearly ChatGPT written commentary:

> This statistic is a testament to the safety of Waymo self-driving cars

> This statistic is a powerful testament to the safety benefits of Tesla Autopilot technology

> This statistic is a powerful reminder of the potential life-saving impact that self-driving cars could have on our roads.

> This statistic is a stark reminder of the public’s apprehension

> This statistic is a powerful indicator of the potential safety

> This statistic is a powerful indicator of the public’s confidence

> This statistic is a testament to the progress being made

> This statistic is a testament to the safety of Waymo’s autonomous vehicles

And so on.

Why wouldn't you even read the website you linked?

Oh well, at least you can take a free "Personality Leadership Test" to see if you're a stable diffusion version of Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, or Elon Musk.
Technically, it gives them the right to enter the intersection, but not the right to hit a pedestrian (or a car for that matter).

Not sure this is the exact most plausible scenario but I feel fairly confident that enshittification will happen and now am curious about some other, possible ways, it might manifest.

Like, faster route being more expensive?

Mandatory delay at arrival with an extra fee to unlock the door immediately?

Making trip info public / sharing with advertisers / employer / spouse unless a higher fee is paid?

Smoother drive for a higher fee?

Lots of possibilities :)
The law isn't particularly confusing. There's just been a multi-decade lobbying effort funded by the most powerful and moneyed interests in the country to muddy the waters about this.
Why do you say that? The energy usage of inference? I would guess that the embodied energy of the digital photo frame is probably higher.
As soon as you add "purposely" to the mix, you clearly moved over into fraud...

I think you are ultimately correct that extraordinary incompetence would still be some crime. Question does seem legitimate that it isn't necessarily fraud?
I have a primary care doctor now, but there was a time where I would exclusively go to urgent cares (usually the same one, and got to know the people there). Often they have better testing capabilities than primary care doctors (mine has to send me to a nearby hospital for anything more than taking blood). I've gotten X-rays, ultrasounds, and even MRIs (imaging center was next door) without even leaving the building before.
Another reason, why cars, the actual technology is just trash. Too heavy, too fast, completely unnecessary for the city*

Can't wait to when we get off this dumb fetish. The robot car of the future is a golf cart, or a kei car, or a battery powered rickshaw.

(* since this always come up, let me emphasize, for the _city_. fur trappers can keep their cars)
What’s the difference for being stuck in the cold in an EV to an ICE car? The time you can keep the heating running is very similar (around 1,5 days with a full tank of gas or a full battery).

The only benefit of the combustion engine is that you can keep some extra fuel in the trunk. But who has 50l extra fuel in their trunk?
Oh yes you're probably correct. Their website doesn't say and I was, until now, not familiar with the difference.
The Swiss cheese safety model, but in disc form! Hah
Sure, that's possible. But at least with my observations the likelihood of the samples doesn't line up. It isn't that there's just some duds, it is that there are some duds and nearly all other samples are on par with those of others. Which puts the sampling pretty consistent with a random effect rather than a correlation with school ranking. But such a thing would be incredibly difficult to prove one way or another (that competency strongly correlates with ranking or no effect). But I did give a mechanism for a plausible explanation of no effect. I'll add that at least with csrankings.com if you do a regression analysis there's a huge correlation with ranking and number of faculty, but that should also make sense if you just look at the metric used to rank those schools.
no, this is a lousy analogy because there is a clear harm to others in the case of theft. we've tried regulating other difficult to regulate things where the harm is unclear or indirect (drugs being a good example) to no avail.

your piracy example is better. consider that it's the rise of more convenient options (netflix and spotify) not some effective policy that curtailed the prevalence of piracy.
Beyond the fact that reported crimes are just a proxy for actual crime, this is clearly a complex, non-linear system with feedback loops. I don't see how simple statistics, markov reasoning, ML or AI could ever realistically model this with the intent being control of the surveyed system.

Huge paradox. Why even try predictive policing without Minority Report oracles to magically do the prediction?
Thank you so much for linking this!

I've had an intuition that much recent ouroboric "technology for technology's" sake is actually more pernicious that it appears to be (at first glance).

Reading that essay helped crystallize the "why" behind that feeling.
I don't know about Cruise but Waymo has a training video[1] that shows a first responder hitting a button to contact dispatch, then explaining that they're a first responder and they need to move a vehicle, and finally being given control. It looks like the process could take 30 seconds in the best case scenario, which is likely too long in many life or death scenarios, but they do at least have a process.

During development I'll often keep rolling the same change back and forth (with minor changes), rather than recreate the database from scratch/a backup each time.
> I still see so many people accelerating into stoplights/brake scenarios.

Every time I have to use the brake - rather than downshifting - for anything other than holding the car in place, makes me feel like I've committed a failure in planning and/or situational awareness.

Oh goodness, someone else who shares my irrational antipathy for Workday!

Workday is such junk from a user facing perspective. It’s a huge pain to index content from. I have to omit a bunch of big semiconductor companies from my job site because it’s fucking impossible to get job data out of Workday.

If you work in talent at either NXP or Qualcomm, please God read this essay. You are actively harming your own recruiting prospects by using Workday!

I don’t have this problem at all with the more modern ATS’es - Lever, Greenhouse, and Workable all provide nice, easy to consume APIs for this.

No one knows how to uninstall Homebrew
The full comment (which I cant paste as the title has length limits) is:

> But what this means is that no one knows how to uninstall Homebrew either. Usually it requires erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system.

I dont know how true this is!
Why? I'm not obligated to take sides here, and just because I agree with your overall point doesn't mean I can't point out problems with your argument.

In the metaphor, it's someone telling you your aim is off.
> In the US, it’s always considered the fault of the person who read ends someone.

This is simply false. Brake checking is explicitly a traffic offense in some states, and can get you cited under something like reckless driving in some other states. Your insurance company is not obligated to find the other driver at fault if you're cited for brake checking.
