I disagree about this being tangential. This article focuses in-depth on a single fatal accident with fancy animations. It's the job of the reporter to explore how other vehicles protect against this and how other regions like EU mitigate loss of life. This is what you call "fact-based" and "unbiased" reporting, that WaPo claims. Otherwise all they would be doing here is exploiting someone's tragedy to drive a pre-ordained conclusion, also known as "opinion".

If the article is really about marketing issues with autopilot, they are many more avenues to explore, like how they're actually not allowed to call it "Autopilot" in Germany (try to find the word "Germany" in this article).
Companies and people deserve “due process”, when it comes to prosecution in a courtroom. However, unlike the government, we don't have the power to put someone in jail, or extract a fine. So we can decide given the available information if a company or person is acting badly and act accordingly.
> Me: What would you recommend?

Right, and what I'm saying is that when a solution is proposed that stinks, it doesn't just magically get the default seal of approval, it doesn't suddenly become everyone else's problem to find an alternative.

Clouflare is proposing a solution with a negative impact on privacy rights and user autonomy. And you're kind of jumping right to, "well, unless you can perfectly solve the problem then we'll go with what they propose." That's not really how solutions or negotiations or anything works.

If your solution to "how do we distinguish bots" is that we'll stop caring about privacy, then I don't see why it's any less of a solution to say, "the way we'll preserve privacy is to stop caring about bots" -- other than that you've arbitrarily decided that the solution to this problem has to prioritize bot filtering over privacy.

The situation we're in is that CAPTCHAs are easier to defeat now than they used to be. Cloudflare is proposing that we get rid of privacy rights and user autonomy to solve that problem. The rest of us are saying, "sorry, it's a nice idea but privacy rights are non-negotiable."

It is not our responsibility to solve Cloudflare's problem, it is Cloudflare's responsibility to come up with a solution that isn't terrible. They're the ones who are saying that existing CAPTCHAs aren't good enough anymore, privacy advocates are fine sticking with status quo.
It was average.

"The household median income in the U.S. in 1950 was $2,990 — roughly 40% of the median home value of $7,354 at the time, according to census data. By 2010, household median income was $49,445 — or 22% of the $221,800 median home value. The median income in 2021 hovers around the same percentage of median home costs."

This tweet apparently shows the slide in question: https://twitter.com/adamkovac/status/1710041764910846061
I agree with the sentiment and I've been watching his tweets on AI to see if Carmack has any relevant input on the field.

But what I think is very interesting is that, from my totally lay-person perspective, the current challenge is scaling out the AI systems we have. We know what systems like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 require to run and it is now an engineering challenge to scale up those systems (or drastically reduce their costs). And those systems are surprisingly GPU like. Carmack is the kind of low-level bit crunching, memory obsessed kind of guy that might be able to squeeze out the performance from the hardware.

So him teaming up with a high-level first principles math and science research type is a pretty interesting combo. There is no telling if such a partnership will ultimately result in an advancement - but on paper at least it is an interesting approach. All they are missing is a strong hardware guy (maybe Keller will go beyond investing in Carmack's Keen Technologies?).

Fair point! Rapid response is definitely valuable for thoughtful issues or PRs. For "questions" we try to just ask for more clarifying details or do a brief pointer to documentation. I find it can also be useful to deliberately slow down responses when getting caught in a low value conversation - kinda like rate limiting undesirable traffic to your website <grin>.

Yes, it is. What I found amusing was the preface to the article:

And yet, what he wrote after thinking about it only muddied the waters for me, not clarified. Which tells me that git is fundamentally really difficult to explain.
In addition, if I’m reading the article correctly, the reason why it would have been better to raise money when the projections looked amazing is that they didn’t pan out, and to expect them to be accurate was greedy?

I’ve been a founder, so I know that raising money is all about telling a story about the future, and the time to raise is when your graph supports that story, or before you have a graph. If a week later, everything is different, well, that’s start-ups for you. But I think it’s good to be able to take a step back from this and recognize how bizarre it is, and that a business doesn’t have to be structured this way.

> You are confusing Autopilot with FSD which are two very different systems with very different capabilities.

This is exactly the problem: consumers are confusing Autopilot and FSD. The part where liability comes in is that confusion is not accidental, but rather a direct and deliberate product of Tesla’s marketing around these products.

Focusing on single incidents will pull at your heartstrings, but each incident is one in a sea of data that shows an overall improvement despite isolated heart-breaking incidents as a result of our inability to create a perfect system.

Although I agree that his "tweets" are garbage and his cult mentality/god-like demeanor puts a lot of false confidence in people (who are likely a majority of those paying the $200/mo for beta), not to mention that thousands of people won't consider buying a Tesla due to his involvement.

Arnold is a nice guy, certainly, but his political legacy is a bit questionable. He was a useful tool for certain energy interests, but it's not that laudable:

> "On May 17, 2001, future Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Los Angeles Mayor Republican Richard Riordan met with Enron CEO Kenneth Lay at the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills. The meeting was convened for Enron to present its "Comprehensive Solution for California," which called for an end to federal and state investigations into Enron's role in the California energy crisis."

Do you have a source for this? There’s a gap between semi wheels, sure, but the deck height of a semi trailer in North America is about 48”. If automotive radars weren’t able to detect objects above this height, they would miss a lot of obstacles…

One automotive radar I’m familiar with, the Bosch MRR [1], lists a vertical FOV of ±15 degrees, and a 300 m maximum detection range. Assuming the sensor is mounted perpendicular to the ground at 0.5 m high, it should be able to see the top of a 13’6” semi trailer from ~15m away all the way up to its full range.

Teslas don’t have radar anyway, so of course this wouldn’t have helped, but an AEB radar that can’t see the top of a semi truck isn’t very useful.

> Maybe Greek society was not a homogeneous mass, and some parts of it nurtured free thinking while others reacted against it?

So then your assertion was incorrect: 'they started a culture of free thinking that grew into philosophy, logic, and scientific inquiry.' They didn't start anything? Some of them did? What are you even saying then?

It's idiot's logic to claim that greeks nurtured free thinkers while admitting they killed free thinkers.

Instead of digging yourself a bigger hole, just admit you were wrong.

I love that this document gives a very complete overview of all the steps that go into creating a printed circuit board! I always say, KiCad is easily better than any ECAD tool you can buy for $1,000 or less. They also have a better built-in library than I've ever encountered in a paid tool, which is worth a lot if someone just wants to crank out a quick project.
I kind of wonder how did people not know this was a thing? Salt magnifies flavors we like and mutes flavors that we don't almost as if we evolved this way to know to use this essential nutrient. I personally don't salt my coffee because I almost exclusively just drink coffee at home and have the brand that I like.

One of the things that I will salt that a lot of people find odd is beer on occasion. There are some beers that I like and there are some that are just okay and they just okay ones are the ones that get salt. Often times going out with friends there's not always a beer that I like adding salt to a just okay beer does the exact same effect that they describe in this article. Same thing with fruit smoothies if you're not adding a pinch of salt you're doing it wrong, shakes and malts, and all kinds of other things that I guess people never thought that needed salt.

I think the perception is that a lot of people will salt foods to the point that they taste salty. Many times that is the wrong way to season foods. Some food preparations are intended to be salty most of the time the salt is there to act as a magnifier for the flavors and it should not be something you actively taste. If your primary experience is when you add salt you add so much that it's salty of course you wouldn't think about adding it to drinks and other things that you wouldn't want the salty flavor in.

> That doesn't guarantee anything, but in the old days when the global reserve currency started to become frankly inflationary, there was no easy recourse - you could only jump to the next best national fiat (which could have the same problems or worse), or gold (with all of its limitations).

Or you just buy assets priced in dollars; bonds, real estate, equities, etc. Nobody with half a brain holds their wealth in currency. Currency is for transacting, not storing wealth.

It’s amusing that from one side of your mouth you’re complaining about the frequency which John appears on hackernews, but from the other side of your mouth you’re relegating his body of work to “some cool games 20-30 years ago”.
Yes, as a younger man he focused his expertise into pioneering developments in the video game space.
But what of his engineering contributions to the fields of performance auto-motives, rocket science, or virtual reality? Maybe it is his technical aptitude and contributions to various fields of engineering is why he is such a popular figure to the audience of hackernews?
Also for deer. Deer are idiots, the males even more so during the rut. They will see similarly-sized deer in any vertical glass surface (their own reflection) and charge the window antlers-first. They break through the glass and now you have a deer running around inside your house or school. A few stickers won't stop them from seeing their reflection, but it will put an "object" between them and thereby stop the charge. I've even seen this in car windows. Tall deer (elk) are so dumb that they will repeatedly charge the tiny elk reflected in a car window. They aren't attacking the car but the other elk they think is inside. I'm surprised they all don't drown every time they see rival elk inside a calm lake.

It might have been common practice, but everyone denied it, including Arnold repeatedly. It was and is considered “cheating”, so the claim that it was normal should be asterisked. It is “normal” the way affairs in marriage are.

And his recollection of his usage seems suspect. Both his dbol and test are seriously on the low side. I hugely doubt he is being forthcoming.

To be clear I am a big fan of his and think the use of steroids is a personal choice, weighed against risks. It’s just that the post-facto fictions presented are seldom honest.

If you are looking to quickly setup Paperless-NGX check out my little side project https://github.com/jdoss/ppngx. It will setup everything you need to run Paperless-NGX (PostgreSQL, Redis, Tika, Gotenberg, PaperlessNGX, and SFTPGo) inside a Podman Pod on a Linux based system. You can optionally set it up to start on boot via systemd.

I run this locally on my workstation and send PDFs many times a week from Brother ADS2800w scanner via SFTP. Paperless NGX has reduced my home office paper piles to almost zero. It is a fantastic open source project and I am very thankful it exists.
Certainly applying for jobs out of school--at a time when nothing was online--it was very much a mass snail mail exercise for the most part as augmented by on-campus interviews. A lot of companies basically hire warm bodies. One job offer I got out of grad school was sight unseen. I had to ask them to invite me to see the place and talk to people.

Everything I've gotten since then (just a few) was sending an email to someone I knew at a company.

On what basis do you make the assumption that a multinational retailer, specifically one with some of the most aggressive loss prevention policies in the first world, would not keep track of theft in some stores?
From the article:

> While crime data doesn't capture all incidents of theft, as some go unreported, it does provide a reliable way to measure relative levels of theft among stores.
Watching that clip, it is hilarious how Zuckerberg has pivoted over the years.

In 2015, when Zuckerberg still had hope that Facebook would be allowed to operate in China, Zuckerberg asked Xi Jinping to name his baby.[0] Xi, probably taken aback by the sheer level of sycophancy, turned Zuckerberg down: "Too much responsibility."

Now, Zuckerberg has gone entirely the opposite direction, denouncing the Chinese government, pushing for a TikTok ban, and so on.

I'm like 80% through the book and am enjoying it. Feel like I've definitely gained a better understanding of who SBF was with the pre-FTX context. But I 100% agree with the quote above and it almost reads like an autobiography.
Is there any reason to believe that the degree of unreported theft in one store is any different than unreported theft at another? If unreported theft is similar across stores then it would seem to be essentially noise in the statistics.

It's odd that by closing their brick and mortar stores they're essentially rolling up their business and conceding Amazon all those customers.
> Otherwise all they would be doing here is exploiting someone's tragedy to drive a pre-ordained conclusion, also known as "opinion".

They're emphasizing the point that the man's family is trying to make in court. That's hardly exploiting someone else's tragedy, it's telling their story.

Target publishes quarterly reports with the SEC. It lists the losses due to theft.

I guess it’s partly a mentality thing for me. I’ve had numerous cases of sadness that I couldn’t produce a necessary document, and gladness that I was able to pull up something presumed long lost. For me, it’s easier to save everything “just in case”. It all adds up to less than 50GB so it’s not an enormous amount of data to store by current standards.

Seriously, a couple cases of “sorry, I don’t have proof to back up that tax deduction” or “hey, here’s the receipt proving that our TV is still covered by warranty!” make it all worthwhile.
Maybe the CEO of Tesla would feel less empowered to make those claims, if many of the darlings of AI, would not be silent, while sharing the stage with him during those wild statements.

I pretty much always buy components from either Amazon or eBay. Is that unusual?

I just looked on Farnell and the cheapest solenoids that I could find in stock have a weird housing (and they're £6.38 each which is already more than Amazon), the cheapest sensible ones that are in stock are £12 each, which is way more expensive than Amazon, plus you have to pay VAT and postage on top, plus you have to faff around with their enterprisey order form, compared to one or two clicks on Amazon.
