I think normalizing growth by population growth would give some interesting insights about "real" growth, or lack thereof.
I take point with your use of 'correctly' because traffic engineering cannot get every car to its destination without stopping it even if it knew every destination.

Cars already do talk to various traffic lights via underground sensors and occasionally a camera. The investment required to have a fully networked traffic light system with a centralized controller would be immense, and would create an organization with a natural government given monopoly.

Your use of 'correctly' paints a world that seems ripe for more corruption and ultimately worse timings across the network. If you wrote 'better', then I wouldn't have commented. I think I'm nitpicking
As someone who is very pro Free Speech and hates censorships in general, banning these toxic social media especially for Kids is a good idea and as a parent, I am all in for it. If you cannot smoke/drink till 21, you shouldn't be able to do Social media till then. It is that bad especially for children.
Is anyone surprised?

Indiscriminate surveillance combined with an intent assumption: the system is setup to find CSAM, so it doesn't test alternate hypotheses.

There's many intervening steps[1] of consequences which can result. Not to mention chilling effects: it's a standard bit of knowledge now that all my family members worry a bit if they take a photo of my son doing something and he's not wearing a shirt or something. Because no one's entirely sure the extent or impact of whatever scanning systems already exist (hey folks: encrypt everything on the cloud, and thank god for Signal).

I hate “whimsical” stuff like this. Part of maturity/adulthood is coming to the realization that you don’t have the right to conscript other people into your sense of humor.
I doubt it. Both of these methods are very intrusive.

They showed a video of the crash without the part where they dragged the pedestrian for 20 feet, claiming it was the full video of the incident.

The DMV was not aware of that until notified by another government agency that was investigating the incident.
Hmm, maybe it didn't click that by "orientation" you meant polarization, very odd though. I could have sworn that wasn't there.
I get your point, but on the other hand if a pedestrian was crossing on their when the light turns green and the pedestrian was already clear of the lane, I think most human drivers would also proceed. I'm in a different country but, both as a driver and as a pedestrian, I witness this exact situation on a daily basis.

I'm not trying to detract from the horrible outcome of this case, but the problem wasn't the car pulling away at a green light when there were no obstacles in front of it, but the way the car decided to move itself to a "safer place" immediately after an accident when it clearly didn't have enough sensors or the AI wasn't trained sufficiently on this kind of situation to be 100% sure that it was safe for it to make the maneuver.
Is this the social media's error or the car manufacturer's error? Or maybe it's really law enforcement's error?
Human drivers "disengage" also, though we don't think of it that way. I have aging friends who refuse to drive at night. I'll stay home in bad weather. When I was younger, I'd sometimes ask a passenger to back out of tricky parking space for me.
I probably should have been clear. I count "show a different ad every 30 seconds" as animation. Basically anything that isn't a static image. Only allowance I would make is "one and done" updates, like a gas station sign with prices on it.
> The thought occurred to me some years ago that a key aspect of governmental institutions is their durability, particularly in the face of adversarial politics. Though the inefficiency of government services is quite often grossly exaggerated, there's much consideration which has to be made of the trade-offs between efficiency and durability.

Governmental institutions are durable even when they are detrimental to society, as long as the government has enough police and military might to prevent insurrections. The society must put up with grossly inefficient institutions simply because the government has a monopoly on some sectors.
I really doubt you could buy pseudoephedrine via taskrabbit, but then again I've never tried it.
I agree with you in the abstract. The reality of the US political and administrative system is that it’s not possible to build new public transit, but it is possible to develop self-driving cars.
OP I like you. You are a refreshing voice in the current tech jungle. I think your post clicked for me and made me think about my projects/ideas and how to approach them.

So, thank you I guess. I would like to see more of your stuff and your approaches.
Again, you don't know that. That can be the result of, show what is engaged with more, and you end up with a rage-loop, that was in no way designed purposefully into the original system.

You're on hacker news you should know these types of system design issues...
Your video and my response were talking about fatal crashes. Humans don't go 100 million miles between crashes.

Has FSD had a fatality? Autopilot (the lane-follower) has had a few, but I don't think I've heard about one on FSD, and if their presentations on occupancy networks are to be believed there is a pretty big distinction between the two.

> Last year I was on a date, and, [...] I had not seen this.

And some people who are closer to "hyperobservant" in many contexts might've also missed that sight -- because they were in a social context, and focused almost entirely on the conversation with the other person.
It happened almost immediately in Australia with COVID tracking data[1].

Were I in a position of any type of authority, careers would be ending and jail time would be getting handed out like candy over this. I'm not in charge unfortunately and not enough citizens know how to react to these expansions of power until it impacts them personally.

But as soon as the capability exists, it really is a slippery slope: it's far easier to gradually expand the scope and reach by administrative changes, then it is to start the program up initially - and there's no track record of any government reasonably resisting this sort of insider threat.

Show HN: Fediverser Portal – Bring your subreddits to Lemmy
This is my attempt at helping those who are trying to ditch reddit but have not been satisfied with the content from Lemmy or haven't been able to find the corresponding communities.

There are two sides to this project. The first one is that I have setup a Lemmy instance (alien.top) which is mirroring some of the reddit content from subreddits that I wanted to follow with the comments. The difference from most mirroring bots is that, instead of one single bot account mirroring all content, the system creates one account for each reddit user that is being mirrored.

The other part of this idea which I believe is more interesting: reddit users can take over their own mirrored bot account on this Lemmy instance. The instance itself does not use the regular registration process, but instead authenticates via Reddit OAuth. If you login through through the "Portal", we can then grab your subscribed subreddits and (when it can) find the corresponding Lemmy communities and subscribe you to those automatically. At the moment there are not that Lemmy communities that are being mirrored because I've been the sole user, but hopefully if more people sign-up, it will help to create the network effects and more instance admins will be interested in hosting these "fediversed" communities.

All of the code is open source (https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser) and I'm more than willing to help people getting their own instances if they don't want to use alien.top itself.

Questions and any type of feedback is always welcome!
Nice to hear. I remember there were some rough edges with Snapdragon based thinkpads. Hopefully they won't repeat with these CPUs.
Twitter is the only viable support option with some places. During the pandemic lockdowns, anything somewhat complex involving the California DMV had to start with contacting them on Twitter. I guess cause that's a whole separate intake process that was more nimble than their site.
Kata just released a new version, it is the only thing that I've found easy to setup with k8s... though my experience running Docker-in-Kata hasn't been very good.
It actually wasn’t far off from the “one panel” as the 5th Gen Camaro has a long panel that stretches from the bumper to the tip of the A Pillar. Otherwise it was a bumper cover, crash structure (which is disposable above 10MPH) and a trunk lid. The biggest cost was the panel.
Why is working on a laptop not recommended in SF?
Public transport has its place, especially in dense city centers and especially metros/subways. Those will always be more efficient and a better experience in cities. I’m not even opposed to completely banning personal vehicles in city centers. But only about 5% of the US population live in densely packed downtown areas of cities. For the rest of the folks we should have more cars and improve our road systems.
I drive as a form of transportation, not recreation, but if I like had a safe course to drive on it would probably be pretty fun?
Pseudoephedrine makes me feel fairly off, but it's really great for nasal congestion to last like 2 days less if that is the price (in addition to 20 cents for the pill or whatever it is).
Task rabbit, uber eats, door dash, all have offerings where a person will do your shopping on your behalf. It includes over the counter meds afaik.
Voting for fringe parties has more effect than people give it credit for - they can and do put pressure on the main parties even when they dont get a lot of votes. With UKIP it changed the whole country (not for the better obviously, but they did).

That said, I'd make an exception for Lib Dems purely because the party is full of awful people with no real principles who have and would turn on a dime for political advantage. It has been a vote in the bin for 24 years.
I do want to clarify that my comment: the skateboarder would not have died. Waymo provided a larger margin of error for the board rider than a human could possibly have.

FWIW the (seemingly?) complete lack of bikeshedding makes it a lot easier to approach Go over Python wrt. tooling. IME it feels impossible to make an informed decision without already being knee-deep in the ecosystem, and yet new developers are forced to decide as part of their IDE setup. It's just plain cruel.

I say every language should standardize on an extremely opinionated formatting tool, whatever those opinions happen to be. To the point where source code should be considered to have a canonical representation. Get rid of the sheds and bikes.

Unfortunately, there are often 14 competing standards...

There is actually a third point to this whole idea. Given that most Lemmy admins were not interested in being a home to the "mirrored" communities, I'm building a set of different Lemmy instances that will be focused on specific niches or interests, such as:

- https://soccer.forum, https://nba.space, https://nfl.community, https://matchpoint.zone (sport news, fan groups, discussion, etc)
- https://metacritics.zone, https://roll20.top (pop-culture, movies, TV shows, games)
- blockchained.world (web3)
- https://selfhosted.forum (devops, homelab)
- https://style.land (brands, fashion, consumer items)
- https://hi-fi.community (audio), https://viewfinder.pro (photography)
- https://hardware.watch (tech reviews and news, pc enthusiasts, etc)
- https://gearhead.town (cars)
- https://netheads.online (voip)

These lemmy instances are meant to be only destination hubs. They are not open for registration, but I am planning to let people decide what communities should be opened on those instances. I've created those because it seems that a lot of people are signing up to an instance and then fail at discovering the content.
Someone's found a way to drum up consistent business for their automotive repair shop.
He's the currently serving incumbent. When he gives me an email address, it's not as if I'm going to be contacting him inquiring about the details of his campaign. It's more likely I'm going to contact him about why the police are dragging their heels to assign more patrols around Ballard high School where more than five students have been mugged, some at gunpoint, in recent weeks.

Airbnb Is Fundamentally Broken, Its CEO Says
Why You Should Make Time for Oddball Rituals
Yeah, the big issue we have is that we reward ignorance. It's in the legal best interest for companies producing physical products to be as oblivious as possible to issues of safety. Legally, the worst the worst outcome for them happens when there's documented evidence of safety problems. It's far better to feign ignorance. "Who could have predicted that opioids were addictive!". "How could we have known that this doctor was overprescribing, we are a big company without the resources to track everything".

It should really be the opposite in an ideal world. A company that has documented "this is what we did to make sure everything was safe" should less culpable than the company that moves fast and breaks things/people/the planet.

If a company killed someone, I'd want their defense to be a list of everything they did to prevent that person from dying, not a "well shucks, accidents happened, and this was a tragedy that couldn't be avoided!". That's the response that should end a company's existence.
Nice work! I think this is a much more elegant solution
> Part of maturity/adulthood is coming to the realization that you don’t have the right to conscript other people into your sense of humor.

And yet, you aren't willing to accept that they have a different sense of humor without hating them. Ironic.

For mail with someone else's name on it, sure. But in this case, the "mail" had my name on the front, back and side... plus a username and password that only I know. So yeah, not sure that really applies here.

Ah, so "awareness" for you includes the option of "everything" while "attention" does not. For me "everything" is an option for attention.

I agree that broadening the beam is, among other benefits, enjoyable.
Your police forces regularly murder citizens exercising their legal and constitutionally protected rights[1,2], and experience no consequences for it as well as get to hound the families for free long after the media loses interest.

Starting with "problems" is already cutting out half of the kinds of businesses that exist.

I much prefer the "jobs-to-be-done" framing: people and organizations desire certain things done, and they pay for products/services to get them done; some jobs are not being well done (and thus, a "problem"), but many jobs are being done fine, but, there may still be opportunities to do them much better. (aka "pains" and "gains")

Ex. Alice was fine with her extra bedroom but AirBnB allowed her to make an extra 2k per month? etc

Its often easier to find acute pains to address than great gain opportunities, but it is possible, and many startups do it. Ignoring gain-potential as an avenue of value creation is myopic.
Thank you. Contrary to other replies, you do not have to be employed directly by [Institution] expressly for the purposes of covertly pushing an agenda to be guilty of astroturfing.

What's important is the existence or appearance of a conflict of interest, particularly if you're not disclosing your connection. Having a friend who works for Google who might be upset at criticism counts. Being a former employee with stock counts. Having any kind of monetary or professional interest in FSD companies succeeding counts.

If someone is presenting their statements as that of a person who is not involved, and they actually are, their behavior is duplicitous, and justifiably characterized as astroturfing.
Yes, e-mail downloads are often very slow. Even worse: downloading tends to freeze the UI. Ridiculous!

Seems to me the problem is very much the LACK of "working on your behalf". I don't feel that many people go into public service "unselfishly". People go into public service by ambition (and then quickly enough there is no point in anything except to build the network); or to further their own adolescent ideals (and then fuck everything else in the service of that obsession); or for the benefits; or because it's the ideal stable job; etc. Who in there does it "to do the right thing for the overall good of the overall population"? Who actually does it "to defend the constitution" (I mean not just when it's convenient?).

We haven't given aspirin to kids for like half a century.

I know this, because my uncle died from Reye syndrome from aspirin when he was two years old right before the recommendation changed.

I'm guessing a decent number of unexplained child deaths from back then can be attributed to Reye syndrome from aspirin.
Well, because I'm the euro who did the bragging about our GDPR, but won't even consider something like this. I don't know who is in the set of people who want this, let alone the set of people who want this while bragging about the GDPR.
This was not a necessary point to make, as I merely expressed a preference. And the law isn't going to be changed to accomodate your desires.
I heard from a person who works at one of the largest insurers around the east coast. That the only real reason they raise rates it because the amount of fraud in certain areas. It's also greed too. But their justification is the fraud in an area. They know the guy who is in collections with his loan, and has missed his last two insurance payments didn't just have a random hit and run with a stolen car in a back alley in Baltimore. They just can't prove that.
"Not being able to scale is YOUR problem, not MINE."

Indeed, it is doubtful that these mega-sized websites were intended by the original architects of the www. More likely, they may have imagined the web as a whole would grow (scale) as more people gained internet access. Instead the "Silicon Six" intend only to scale their own gargantuan websites that they now refer to as "platforms". All web publishing and even internet communications are expected to be intermediated by a handful of surveillance advertising companies. What a disaster.

I wonder what caused the rise in population? Without that it sounds like maybe the collapse wouldn't have been as dramatic.

For the purposes of natural selection, everything that's happened since the Pyramids (and probably several hundred thousand years prior to that) is effectively instantaneous and natural selection/evolution has had no time to "react".

If anything, the narrative should be that clearly being inattentive in safe scenarios isn't selected against and thus can't be that detrimental to reproducing successfully.
Nearly every billboard I've in SF, when I used to live near there 1-7 years ago, was tech. So not AI, but maybe "one app to rule them all" (I forget whose slogan that was).
