I wonder if it's preemptive move in light of the upcoming EU regulation that, among other things, requires this:

--- start quote ---

AI systems shall be developed and used in a way to minimize unintended and unexpected harm as well as being robust in case of unintended problems and being resilient against attempts to alter the use or performance of the AI system so as to allow unlawful use by malicious third parties.

and, for foundation models:

Demonstrate through appropriate design, testing and analysis that the identification, the reduction and mitigation of reasonably foreseeable risks to health, safety, fundamental rights, the environment and democracy and the rule of law prior and throughout development with appropriate methods such as with the involvement of independent experts, as well as the documentation of remaining non-mitigable risks after development.

I don't think I follow. Rail lines are fixed targets and extremely vulnerable to attack. Cars can route around damaged roads and even drive off-road in some cases.
Reputation has a value but that value is not infinite. Presumably they made a guess at how bad the hit would be. (Also, with the right audience, being willing to make tough choices like this would enhance their reputation)
Improving C-library scalability with restartable sequences
I mean, a ton of people spend time driving, freeing that time would be huge efficiencies. Not to mention that it would mean cars can be shared between people, hugely reducing cost of operation and greenhouse emissions. Parking areas are reduced and put farther away from city centers, freeing land. If cars learn to share the road with us, they can also used optimized lanes and traffic patterns, speeding up commutes and reducing accidents.

Like it's not any one thing, but a self driving car really changes a lot of things about how cities and transport are designed. Interesting thing is that it's harder to have a self driving car now than it would be in 20 years, because as they get closer and closer, the roads are going to adapt to them.
Amazing to me that this billion dollar plus mission (InSight) is now offline because of dust on solar panels. We’ve had solar panels more than four decades now. I don’t assume the challenge is easy, and know that dust is endemic to Mars, but think of the impact from solving this problem on longevity of future missions! After establishing a habitat, Mars visitors need to revive all the offline experiments with a hanky.

ACM doesn't charge you for publishing papers in their journals, conferences, and to end online in their digital library.

Though papers accepted through a conference, mostly require one of the authors registering for such conference; which seems fair to me as the effort to organize them is non-trivial.
No thanks. Even if Costco was only a few blocks away I wouldn't be able to carry that much stuff home on foot. I drive back with my car pretty much filled.

The places where I go most often in Europe, people are nearly as car dependent as in North America. Get out of the big cities and you'll see how regular people live.

And rental cars can't be taken off road. It says so right on the rental contract.
It's a technically impressive technology that's right at a key inflection point with potentially huge ramifications to how 15% of the economy is structured.

I think I'm an outlier because I like trains, bikes, and cars, but you have to pick the right tool for the job. In the US, new train lines are almost never the right tool.

Just to be clear, this is a 'typed' functional language something that erlang is not.

Gleams type system has reduced the crashes in my code, however I do still supervise them and distribute tasks across systems (See https://github.com/wmealing/gleam-otp-design-principals/blob... )

Non beam languages not get this kind of capability out of the box.
I use a Linux box with at least two fast NICs - why not try it out?

The setup can be rough if one isn't that familiar/has high requirements... but making a router and so on is pretty basic stuff.

Basic in the sense that it's easy to do both well and terrifyingly incorrectly.

I use Ansible to manage the config of mine, but that's more for rebuilding. I look at the thing maybe twice a year
For Communications, you get a PDF without DRM as well.

But yeah, probably most people won’t archive them.

At the same time even if just one person archives them, it’s extra easy to copy them worldwide if something bad happens to the original source.

Not an extra hard problem , but lots of misaligned incentives.
Programming is a creative activity though. What are these?

Exciting tasks.
That number could be cut by more than half by applying technology that already exists today. If reducing traffic deaths is the goal then there is no particular need for autonomous vehicles.
Which can be cheaper than it used to be, depending on what membership options you need. It used to come with the digital library which is an additional $99.
> Self-driving cars could always yield to pedestrians and cyclists.

They could, but they will be unpopular with users if so.

> There will be a glut of empty parking spaces when self-driving cars are common.

The self-driving cars still have to go somewhere. If they're not parked then they're going to be taking up space on the roads instead, which might be worse.

> Self-driving cars are transit.

Not really. In terms of space use they're still cars. https://www.cyclestreets.net/location/21715/cyclestreets2171...

> Just inertia from the times where teletypes were a thing

No. I like these names as it's just easier to read. fp or fd is short and to the point, and "filePointer" or variants thereof add noting except more characters to read, more "wall of text"-y code that's harder to scan, etc.

And I don't really want to have a discussion about it as such; whatever your preference is that fine. I'll be happy to adjust to whatever works well within a team. But I wish people would stop spreading nonsense like this to invalidate other people's preferences.
Is this a native app, or an electron chrome wrapper?

*edit: Just downloaded it, while I can't seem to find a way to try its functionality without purchasing - it does look like a native app which is awesome! Only 27MB of memory and no chrome!

It's a shame it's $40AUD ($80 + IaP on the app store!) and doesn't have a demo or local LLM support but the concept seems solid.

If it had local LLM support I'd buy it right now.
Hell, even those have a hard time doing it without experiencing drift! So they periodically re-establish a baseline using something like GPS.
> For the trains I'm familiar with, the parallel road carries many times more passengers in a single lane over the course of an hour.

Which train and road would that be? That's either a severely underused rail line (if the road is busy enough to be congested - and if not, it doesn't matter), or one that prioritises freight.

Or imagine the first time a self-driving car encounters a road-obstacle it flags it so that it can be repaired and all other cars avoid it automatically.

Very true. People also own horses and burn candles, but these are not our primary means for transportation or lighting.
That is an understatement. The amount of refinement they have done now on various games is starting to feel like it is beyond just pure iteration but is a result of intuition that cannot be taught.

True. But the EA crowd has a hard time understand perception or empathy and has to resort to mathematical calculations

I could think of a couple of ways better than "buying a castle" for conferences.
Yeah, but none of that's the hard part, the deploy to the entire world is the easy part. The hard part is that the entire UI system is designed around the premise of formatting XML based documents with modifier tags, even though that premise is completely wrong for most systems.
Given 300 million people in the US and $1000/mo UBI, that works out to $3.6 trillion a year.

So ya, that's not going to work.
Thank you for your answer. I'm more curious about your approach. Would appreciate if you have some pointers in that direction. Like some sample/gist or blog posts etc.
As one example, a friend of mine lost over $20 million to SBF / FTX, which funded said castle. However he did not sell his claim and is optimistic he will get most of it back. Money seems like a number on a page until you see how it affects real people!

As another example, I had an EA VC investor nuke one of my seed investments in order to have a different one of his portcos acquire the IP for scrap because he had a far higher stake in the other portco, which was in the same vertical. Ruined a lot of employees' ISOs as well as my equity. But hey he's an EA - can't blame him! His expected value was simply higher.

Yes! This was the realization that started moving me away from many flavors of consequentialist utilitarianism.

There is to me no ontological distinction between means and ends, or the cause and the effect as an action. There is a vast literature prioritizing the latter at the expense of the former, an illusion brought upon us by the arrow of time our consciousness happens to be travelling in the same direction as. But if we're going to prioritize along that axis we might as well claim actions to the left of us are privileged relative to actions to the right of us.

I admit this is splitting philosophical hairs. "Doing X at time T means at time T + 1 many many sentient beings will benefit" is not really a hard-consequentialist argument - we don't prioritize X because it is at time T. But now consider: "if future sentient beings no longer care about Y, then doing X now will benefit nobody; deciding on not-X, however, saves resources we can then use towards whatever we do care about." Now totalize that, and add in a modesty claim: As the people at the start of history, we (maybe) have no control over what moral concerns future beings will have at all, and if we do then we can (maybe) can choose to craft a future where no moral concerns are detected by any sentient beings in the future at all.

Is that good? I have no idea, but it's a lot more fun to try to puzzle through.
A lot of people want to go directly from point A to B in the comfort of a car. You can't just brush that desire away just because you personally don't value it.

And regardless of how America should have built up rail/bus infrastructure over the last century, the reality is that they didn't, and a lot of its cities are already setup to immediately benefit from large self-driving fleets of cars.

There's still a lot of opportunity to build up high-capacity rail where it makes sense, but that will take decades. Self-driving cars (and busses too!) can deliver utility on a far shorter timescale.
It's vitally important to know the perspective from which somebody evaluates the gender wage gap when I'm reading their complaints about Node.

Those two emails in the article hit hard
True - I miss looking at bookshelves of myself and friends / colleagues / libraries to discover new stuff spontaneously too.

Still, I can take what would have been a big stack of paper with me to the coffee shop / park / forest and like the ability to search for text strings.

Maybe I should see if there is a 'give me a random page' button in my software or if a spotify / netflix style recommendation engine would work well for books and papers.

Have never seen a remarkable in the flesh, though that would annoy me.

You're right, it ultimately comes down to cost and benefits. The ultra-rich have drivers because they don't want to bother with any of the details of car ownership or waste time driving, self-driving cars might bring that level of valet-like service to anyone for the same price as owning an economy car.

I think the secret salary thing is something employees have been fooled into thinking is something best for them because it's really not at any level good for the employee and that's from the CEO all the way down to the janitor.

Companies like to push this narrative that it's secret and private. I've actually had companies give punitive actions and threaten people if they were going to share their salary with others. There's two reasons companies that don't want you to share your salary with your peers. First is because the companies want to pay you the least amount that you believe you are worth in your job position. The secret salaries allow them to do this quite effectively because you can have two employees that are equal performers but one may understand their value to the company better than the other and negotiate for a higher salary. The company is fully willing to pay the higher salary because they understand the value of the work they're getting but if someone's putting out the same work value but doesn't realize the value that they're bringing they will accept a lower salary and believe it's appropriate.

The second reason companies wanted kept secret is because not everyone's work value is the same even when you're in identical positions. So many HR and management people are so incredibly passive that they cannot just be honest and let employees know that yes you're in the same position but another employee may do 30% more work than you and they can be appropriately compensated for the extra value that they bring. Keeping the salaries secret totally avoids this confrontation and having to defend the different pay levels.

No employee ever gets a benefit from a secret salary. It does not promote honesty it does not promote honest self-assessment. Making salaries known would solve a lot of problems and foster an overall better work environment. If you were at a company and knew that the person in the next chair over that you perceived to be doing the exact same level of work that you were doing but they're receiving 20% higher compensation you could go to your management and ask them why. If you are unsatisfied with the answer you immediately know that this company is undervaluing you and you can seek employment elsewhere for your correct value or you might find out that you have overestimated your work abilities and you need to correct your own self perception.
Auto execs are coming clean: EVs aren't working
No, you can blame EAs for making stupid decisions and being generally bad people if they are making stupid decisions and being generally bad people. I'll second that I'm sorry for the bad experiences you've had with EAs.

In my experiences, lots of them are simply good people trying to do more good. I hope you can have better experiences with them in the future.
I have one of these! I have a pretty sizable vinyl collection from decades of crate digging and I’ve gotten a few weird and ancient records over the years. This is one. I also have several wax cylinders which are actually surprisingly easy to find, a bootleg Soviet record that was cut into X-ray film to smuggle in western music (called ribs or Roentgenizdat), 16” records which were mainly for radio stations in the 40s to play “public service” recordings.

I can’t play the Edison disc or the wax cylinder. I can play the rib, I only did it once because it’s extremely delicate at this point and it sounds absolutely horrible anyway. It likely never sounded very good. I have a table with a 12” arm that can play a portion of the 16” record, which does play at 33rpm. I also have a 16rpm record but nothing that spins that slow

I have some newer weird records too. Several flexidiscs. These are interesting because they are flat and originally were used like subscription cards in a magazine. They’ve had a resurgence in popularity recently so they’re very easy to get. Picture discs and die cuts of course. But the weirder stuff has happened with the resurgence: I have a record by the punk band tart that is filled with the dust from pixy stix. Like you can pick it up and shake it around. That’s made by a company called romanus and they make all kinds of weird filled records; they’ve made tons filled with liquid, with LEDs, etc. they made one that is a functioning guitar distortion pedal and recently made one for a band filled with maggots. They’ve done others filled with razor blades, money, scorpions, all kinds of weird shit. Musicians and their art right?

These are like two records sandwiched around a chamber filled with whatever. I’ve also gotten some where they press something into the wax, glitter or whatever. Third man records did a very notable pressing a while back where they pressed pot leaves into a record although I did not get that; I kind of got away from buying new vinyl by that point (it’s an expensive hobby these days, not like back in 2005!). I would strongly recommend avoiding this unless you just want to look at it. The romanus ones are goofy but ultimately can still be listened to. They’re lathe cut records so they sound inferior to a proper pressed record but unless you’re listening on some very fancy setup you probably can’t tell the difference tbh. with a record that has stuff actually pressed into though the needle path is fucked up. Glitter means you get a bunch of extra clicks and pops. And yet they still press these bc I think 80-90% of people buying physical media nowadays don’t actually ever listen to it, they just put it on their shelf and listen on Spotify. But I digress

Thanks for reading my dissertation on weird vinyl. I hope you enjoyed it
> that they likely offer at a loss

Can't tell if you're trolling. Even if they're maximally wasteful and rent cloud GPUs instead of buying them, an A100 is like $1.50/hr. How many GPU-seconds do you think the average API request takes?
A lot of deaths are being reduced by developing ADAS systems (collision avoidance, lane-keeping, blind-spot detection). Self-driving cars takes those systems to their logical conclusion.

I'll refer you back to my zealot note. The question isn't about if you're making money from the product but if you use the produce and have the means to donate. If you got a big tech job and you're only donating only $60/yr to open source projects then I'm not sure you have a horse to sit on. You probably pay a lot more for things you probably use a lot less. If not, I'm not sure what I said to that compelled you to defend yourself.

As I mentioned before, I paid thousand of dollars for Prusa products, which supports open hardware and support their slicer software. Though I have to note they seemed to waver a little on open hardware.

But fair enough, I paid 60 bucks a year currently for an open source software project. I should contribute more, and I have started supporting Octoprint before your reply. It's a pittance, but it's a start.

Yes, the dream is post-scarcity or being independently wealthy, which in either case one can just work for fun. But transitioning to post-scarcity is an incredibly disruptive process that has the capacity to hurt a lot of people before it benefits so many. But until then, people need money so I'm not sure what conversation we're trying to have here.

Not sure where you're going with that. Earning money with open source is the dream. I don't mean being supported by basic income or welfare, although I wouldn't be opposed to it, but in being able to bootstrap myself.

I don't have a sustainable open source career, and I am bad at business. I am working on that.

(I don't see the business pay option as compromising but it's not an uncommon discussion here. Hence the specific call out)

Businesses paying, corporate sponsorship, and support service, even software sale, are all perfectly fine and compatible with open source and free software philosophy...if it remains completely open source.

Let's be straight, it's not compromising values if you're forced into a position: that's coercion.

I am not sure what you mean by here. Open source developers doesn't have the right or expectation to expect being able to make a living, same as being a proprietary developer.

If you're not willing to make open source software for a living, then you're doing something else. Open source adjacent, open core, or just a plain old boring job at a proprietary software firm, whatever. You have the right to make a living under the current paradigm, but I'll keep searching for the business models that support my values.
If only they would make a sequel! I don't understand why that game was poorly received.
