Wikipedia search recommended! It comes from a UK law called the Riot Act granting officials the power to forcefully disperse gatherings if they refuse to disperse after a verbally delivered warning - the precise wording of which was specified by the Act. So an official would literally read the Riot Act to a troublesome group, and if they kept it up, the lads with truncheons would come and start cracking heads.

The idiomatic transfer is fairly obvious, although the implication of consequences if the admonished party is insufficiently contrite has become sort of optional, I think.
When they have to re-introduce the US $10,000 bill, I hope they keep it just like the 1928 design. It's a cool design, and much better than anything since.

Some more features that I like:

+ Bottom posting can be set as default.

+ Selected text are automatically quoted when hitting reply.

+ Many add-ons and utilities are available: DKIM verifier, Mail Hop viewer, Mail Agent viewer, etc.

I tried to find an alternative but I couldn't either.
I never understood their idea how they want to get plugins authors back after they destroyed all existing efforts.

There's absolutely a shortage, but what about recent innovations or acceptance of things like e-visits, 24/7 clinics, and even AI-assistance for clerical work taking more load off of practitioners?

For example, I'm looking at my HCP's app right now and can schedule a call with my doctors as early as next week for an e-visit. For an in-person visit, it's closer to a month. But they have absolutely been taking my extra office visits due to my condition.
This is not everyone-friendly answer, but Mutt does it. To the second point it's not even optional for composing. Unless you write/use some markdown to text/html.

If an individual driver did what the cruise vehicle did, then I would expect a suspended license during investigation. It just happens the AI diver is the singular “driver” for an entire fleet.
Not having UB in is a prerequesite for memory safety.

In theory, WG14 could make top-down decisions. But if we would decide something implementors really do not want to do, they would simply ignore the standard. And this happens. For example, we had to make some realloc corner case UB in C23 because different implementations did behave differently and no one wanted to change their implementation. But the implementors themselves are represented inside WG14, so we usually can't get consensus for such decisions in the first place. So WG14 rules the C world by finding a minimum consensus everybody can agree to and this is really the only way it can work if you have so many different players with so many different requirements. The C world is far bigger than most of us imagine.
Now I'm worried that someone taking this too seriously will start mandating that people write like https://xkcd.com/1133/ all the time.
Some of the users were logging into 23andMe after midnight unaccompanied!
first you extract and load data with dlt and then you transform them with dbt. so both tools work very well together. we did a really cool helper to make it easier(https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/transformations/dbt/) (I'm one of core devs in dltHub)
Very interesting. Do you have information/documentation on the engine itself? I'm not seeing anything technical that explains what it is/isn't capable of, or how it relates to existing CAD kernels.

Super cool work either way! I'll be wishing you luck.
The article title is misleading then.
mutt does both things. I've been using it for years. The learning curve is certainly steep, and being in the terminal all the time might throw people off, but it does what you're asking for.
Yes, but replacing something shitty with something shittier will not improve the status quo.

The bar for AI should be way higher than just "outperform mediocre humans".
This action is about one specific brand, not the entire product category.
Any actually-deployed driverless car has the same setup with remote operators - Cruise, Waymo, Zoox (if they've managed to deploy yet).
According to the BLS, workers earning the federal minimum wage or less represented only 1.4 percent of all hourly paid workers in 2021. Taking into account all workers (not just those who are hourly paid), this small fraction would shrink even further, so I wouldn't expect them to have much affect on the overall unemployment rate.
> You're presenting a false dichotomy. Giving self-driving car companies free reign to cheaply experiment on the public is not the same as "avoid[ing] any and all pain" or avoiding all technological progress.

I'm not presenting a dichotomy at all (unless you think the spectrum is binary and is only zero pain or non-zero pain, which I don't), let alone a false one. I'm not talking about just self-driving car companies. This is a broader philosophical discussion about technology in general, and how much pain is tolerable for progress. If you believe zero is tolerable in the case of self-driving, then do you believe that in general for all tech? If not, why is self-driving so different?

Do you disagree with the premise that on the other side of self-driving cars is a world where humans don't have to labor for their transportation?

Edit: to clarify because people seem incapable of non-binary thinking, I'm not making an argument that Cruise (or any other tech company or car company or whatever) should be able to have "free reign to cheaply experiment on the public." That's not something I said or implied. I don't think they should and I think this California decision is probably a good one. There, can we talk about the higher philosophical issue now?
So you observed 21 cars with issues out of the 1000 you saw, a marginal hit rate.
I also have an anecdote.

My brother is mentally ill, and he hadn't set up 2fa on his Gmail account. It asked him to do that, and then it somehow got flagged as suspicious activity.

I spent the next 6 months in a hellish loop trying to recover it. I was even able to forward them the invite email I sent him from ~2004 when Gmail was invite-only to prove that he was the owner of the account.

It was never reviewed by a human. I would have paid $5,000 to talk to a human for 10 minutes to resolve it. It was a devastating problem because there were so many accounts and documents we were locked out of. It delayed his mental health care for months because of a similarly Kafkaesque issue with his hospital.

I finally got a human to respond by tweeting to Google about it. They informed me that they couldn't help unless I logged in the Twitter with the email address he couldn't access and then tweeted at them.

We'd still be locked out of the account if I didn't have a friend's husband working at Google with access to their internal support.

So your anecdote means basically nothing when Google casually allows people's lives to be destroyed because they were ignorant enough to trust Google's word on anything.
97%, 4 perfect.
Meanwhile in reality:
- More traffic due to induced demand as sitting in traffic becomes comfortable
- Self-driving subscription in addition to all other car costs
- More car-centric infrastructure needed as we realize that self-driving cars can't be made fast and safe for mixed street use with pedestrians, bikes etc.
I think it's profoundly misleading to call the mean the "standard" when it deviates so much from the median, but I guess they don't.

Have you read the linked page?

> Adam and Moodley cite the marriage law as an example of how Arab Israelis "resemble in many ways 'Colored' and Indian South Africans".[237] They write: "Both Israeli Palestinians and Colored and Indian South Africans are restricted to second-class citizen status when another ethnic group monopolizes state power, treats the minorities as intrinsically suspect, and legally prohibits their access to land or allocates civil service positions or per capita expenditure on education differentially between dominant and minority citizens."
Apple just doesn’t care much about server side AI.

But Apple and Google are leading the cutting edge for on-device AI.
> Will a CSAM scanner implementation eventually be repurposed to block politically sensitive material?

The likes of Google already have content scanners automatically censoring some messages - namely, blocking e-mails about cheap viagra.

It would be very easy to add some extra keywords for politically sensitive topics - but we've been blocking spam for 25 years and I can't recall any reports of it happening.
Depends. Can they actually represent Google? If you call, saying you cannot access your account, will they help you or just refer you to Google? If you call and ask about AdWords, will they transfer you to an AdWords representative or refer you to Google. White label support is much different than outsourced support.
I'm sure this will be the unpopular opinion but... if you're a professional you should take some minimal amount of time to learn the jargon for your industry. Software (just like every other industry) has a bunch of abbreviations like HTTP, DOM, CPU, a11y, etc. They've been around for decades, and blog posts like this won't get people to start typing out full names like Central Processing Unit or Accessibility if they believe their audience is familiar with the term. Learn the jargon once and get on with your career.
Wage slave? Seriously?
Commenters like this understand that doing a hit-and-run does result in a human losing their license, right? We don't revoke all human licenses because humans are unique individuals, not a hive mind controlled by a shared common program. Similarly, the DMV is not revoking the license for all self-driving cars. It's only revoking Cruise.
If only they had configuration files...
I imagine it would take something like a sympathetic party like a child being identified, located, and murdered using breached data before a "Megan's Law" for data privacy passes.
People are swayed by anecdotes and dramatic headlines and politics and look for reasons to be afraid. People don't know how to measure risk in their day to day lives. It's an indictment of something, but not public transportation.
Why doesn't this breach constitute some sort of HIPAA violation? I.e. exposure of personally identifiable information
Yes, Humans are flawed drivers. But that makes them an Excellent baseline, because the last thing we want to do is make things even worse.

I've observed all the things you did (in fact, all of them on Sunday). But I don't do any of them, and you probably wouldn't either if you ever used a car.

I'm comparing self-driving cars to an average Human, who truly does drive acceptably. Over 99% of people drive acceptably. The 2 dudes on I-5 without headlights at dusk are a problem, but there are Hundreds of vehicles in sight driving very safely.
This is thought-deleting rhetoric.

None of what you said justifies Twilio in filtering out the word "Palestine".
Manufacturers lock Android phones bought from unofficial suppliers in Mexico
Yes, but I think the relevant metric is deaths per 100 million miles driven. Self-driving cars haven't even traveled 100 million miles.
If you're interested in or would like to understand more about the situation in Canada and the relationship between The Government and The Indigenous people, I would recommend starting with these 4 PDF's:

Here is the 1969 Government of Canada report on how to deal with aboriginal people. It proposed to eliminate Indian status and dissolve the Department of Indian Affairs within five years, aiming to achieve "equality among all Canadians" by removing legal distinctions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The government believed that this would help to address socio-economic disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. Indigenous communities across Canada argued that the policy neglected the rights, treaties, and historical relationships between the Indigenous peoples and the government, and viewed it as an attempt to assimilate native peoples into mainstream Canadian society and erase their unique cultures and identities. [1]

Here is the "Ryerson Report" (namesake of Ryerson University). This report influenced the creation of the residential school system for Indigenous children in Canada. Ryerson believed that education could be used as a tool to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian society. [2]

Here is the Indian Act of 1876. It's the primary law the Canadian government uses to administer Indian status, local First Nations governments, and the management of reserve land and communal money. It's been widely criticized for being paternalistic and especially for its role in creating and enforcing the residential school system. It remains in place today...and it (sadly imo) continuing to shape the relationship between the Canadian government and the First Nations. [3]

Here is the Truth and Reconciliation Report. The Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. This report is a comprehensive account of the history and lasting impacts of the Canadian Indian residential school system on Indigenous people. NCTR outlines the realities faced by Indigenous children in our residential schools, including cultural assimilation, physical and psychological abuse, and the effects these experiences have had on Indigenous communities.[4]

This is a subject very close to my heart. My father was the executive director of a government team set up to study and assist in supporting mental health on First Nations reserves. I spent a lot of time on reserves myself and I find what happened and still happens to Canada's Native people to be abhorrent.

The money is good, but really Canada needs to work to elevate the status of the First Nations in our society. Not only because it's the right thing to do, but because they have a lot to add, a lot to teach us, and we're better together.

It is different because literally no other service they offer has even basic customer support. My friend's agency was buying $1M/year of ads and couldn't get his account unblocked after it was flagged for no reason. Google admitted it was flagged by accident and just put him in an endless cycle of "we're working on it" emails.
This resonated with me somewhat. I think what he describes is my default inclination... I focus very closely, struggle to multitask, etc. Classic ADHD symptoms, though I cope because a) I think my symptoms are relatively mild (though noticeable). I think I could get a diagnosis if I wanted one, but could also probably avoid one if I wanted to. And b) I have the great luck that I can simply "weaponize" my hyperfocus to get work done. I know that in general people can't pick what they hyperfocus on, but I will suggest I don't pick... it's just that I always hyperfocus on coding and coding is my day job. So, quite serendipitous. Thank you Alan Turing, I would be homeless and alone without your inventions.

But uh - back to the topic at hand - I also try hard to spend at least some time just being open and perceiving. Looking around for no purpose but to absorb and observe what is there to be absorbed and observed. I think sometimes I take it too far - missing my turn because I was examining the construction off the highway too closely, wondering what that construction worker holding the sign was thinking of to have that curious expression on his face - but I think it's better to overcorrect a little than to not try.
The only bummer is that it doesn't have DALLE.

Does this include gameboy games like Link's Awakening? I don't remember if it was developed by Nintendo but Oracle of seasons & ages too.
We get to build one civilization after the other for $undocumented thousands of years. We will have to keep doing this until we get it right.
They are. Not one has ever tried to harm me, and I encounter them daily. I can think offhand of a dozen human drivers, motorcyclists and cyclist who have.
This is a completely meaningless rationale and has nothing to do with the topic.
Gittuf – a security layer for Git
I do not own a car. Love living in a transit forward city. But I understand the reality, that is not a real solution for most Americans who live in suburbs where good transit is just not possible due to the original layout. Instead of trying to shoehorn a solution that isn't practical we should focus on ones that potentially are.
Yes, Supernova is much slower than previous versions.
Sure but this is more fun ;)
Clickbait unfortunately, this is median not mean. If you check the source data[1], 1m net worth is at roughly 90th percentile of US households.

Also interesting in the original survey - for the median household, over >80% of their wealth is in their house (and 2/3s of households have houses). Whereas stocks are mostly the domain of the wealthy.

An obstruction in front of a vehicle is hardly an edge case.
Are these autonomous vehicles so littered throughout California that you run into them weekly?

I realize I don’t have a real concrete sense of just how many of these there are. Like is this a whole thing already?

Edit: thanks for the responses…. Good gravy…
Yeah - same thing as only 30k /300mn Americans dying in car accidents per year, right?

A rounding error?

The point is human drivers aren't a proportions problem. It's that any unsafe driver is bad.

Adding more safe drivers doesn't lower the risk of unsafe drivers, even if they're a smaller proportion of drivers.
> make parts, tools and documentation needed to repair its products available to independent repair shops and consumers nationwide, at fair and reasonable prices, the White House said.

It sounds like they are going to apply the new California law nationwide.
Does Cruise have a screen like Waymo that shows you what the car "sees"?

Context: When sitting in the backseat of a Waymo, there is a tablet-sized screen that shows you all the cars nearby. And humans! On one of my first trips (at night), it took me a while to figure out what the white circles were. And then I looked over and saw people in the shadows! It was honestly kinda spooky that the car was much more aware of nearby humans then I was...

Disclosure: Googler, and a big fan of Waymo
That's what we all initially thought, but with a decade and a half of constant engineering effort and tens (maybe hundreds) of billions of dollars poured into the space with basically nothing to show for it, I wonder how true that assessment still is.
We need to stop the deaths now, not in 15 years if and when the tech becomes good enough and adopted etc.

Every other country has seen a reduction in the number of deaths over time, without self driving cars.
We don't have to "pretend". Those compromises are unacceptable.
Haven't even gotten to processing fees and taxes.
As someone who's interested in UI / UX, I have to say, Brilliant is one of those companies whose design is basically perfection.
Crazy these companies can just cripple your phone if they dont want you using it. Do you even really own it?
>Cruises have obvious problems, but my hope is we don't use humans as a baseline, because they're not very good either.

Yeah we agree?

The point is human drivers aren't a proportions problem. It's that any unsafe driver is bad.

Adding more safe drivers doesn't lower the risk of unsafe drivers, even if they're a smaller proportion of drivers.
So this is the long-awaited announcement on the fruits of Qualcomm's Nuvia acquisition a few years ago. The main and only relevant question is how it'll measure up against the Apple M3, AMD Z2, and Intel Meteor Lake chips next year.

Interesting that there's no hint of its relative single-thread performance. Wonder how the custom Oryon core stacks up against the ARM vanilla X4.

> I counted 14 cars without headlights on after sunset on a 2 mile bike ride yesterday.

This one could be fixed tomorrow by adopting regulations that other advanced countries have had for decades.
It's not clear to me that this is purely a software problem; it might be a "the car doesn't even have the sensors necessary to detect this kind of situation" problem.

It could also be a "the software can't anticipate that this would be happening the way a human can because it doesn't have object permanence" problem. That's probably at least part of how a human would do it. But I have a suspicion that we're very, very far away from being able to get computers to do that in any sort of reliable way. So I'm guessing we're probably looking at specialized sensors if we want to handle this kind of situation appropriately.

Basically some sort of self-driving car equivalent of a human driver getting out of the car to check and make sure everything's OK.
What's the ratio of humans back at headquarters ready to take over vs the number of cars active on the road? That's a really interesting number that I don't think I've ever seen reported anywhere.

It does feel like a lot of these weird/longtail situations should be more quickly resolved with some better combination of letting a human override in person (like when a AV car blocks a firetruck) and/or quickly getting a human to remotely take over, but yet we keep seeing these reports of where the car does something dumb for a long period of time. Is it as simple as they don't have enough employees on-hand to intervene?
The workflow you described is very hard to use in practice, for example:

1. If you edit A after reviewer comments, B will now have a dangling source. You'll need some rebase-fu to handle that, and the pain is significant if the chain is long. In stacked-diff workflow, it is handled automatically.

2. If you need to insert a new PR between A and B, or swap the order of some PRs in the chain, you'll need to manually do a lot of rebase-fu, and possibly manually updating the "target branch" on github. While in a stacked-diff workflow, all of these are handled automatically.
As a parent of a now-13 year old, I’m disappointed that COPPA hasn’t been updated after companies have gone aggressively after children.

I was shocked over the summer when I received an email saying I was going to lose some of the Xbox controls we have in place, as if 13 was some milestone of maturity and self-control. AFAICT, I’m legally responsible for my children until they’re 18, and at least at the moment, they are completely dependent on their parents for food, shelter, and transportation. Just because they’re online, I don’t abdicate my responsibility as their guardian, but companies think it’s a good idea to allow kids to bypass the restrictions that were in place because they’ve reached an age that was meant as a minimal age for tracking in a very young Internet.

Unfortunately for our kids, we’ve become extremely restrictive to the service they have access to, they can only use platforms that allow communicating with people we know, etc. Is that the right move? For us, right now, it seems to be.
Can the car detect screams of pain? Because I as a driver can.
If humans aren't the baseline then what is?
At the very least the testing phase for self driving vehicles should not be taking place on public roads. I didn't sign up for some alpha test of potentially deadly tech, and no one else did either.
