>Except I’ve never heard anyone talking about AI replacing developers and selling a “full self-development” package for thousands of dollars at the same time.

Some developers are complaining that we will be replaced, that somehow GPT4 can write good code. Similar artists, writers etc complain they will be replaced.

I can't see an AI in the next 20 years that you ask it
"Build me GTA6" and it will create it for you, code, art, text, voices.

From my experience GPT is good for exploring, asking questions and getting sometimes inspiration from the answers, if the code you asked for what writen already by others and was trained on it then it will aproximate a good solution but it still does mistakes.

Current AI it is just interpollating some response based on what he saw in training, if the real answer is not close enough to points in training then you get garbage. Add on top bad training data and it generates most of the time sub optimal code. For example it always generates JavaScript code using old syntax and using old DOM APIs.

There is no logic with them, I asked an AI "is X legal in Javascript" and it answered No, it created an it created an answer that shows that was legal and working and rambled about why is not a good idea to use that. And I have many examples where the fcking long answers they give contradict themselves.

Sorry for the long comment, I daily see this devs complaining about this, earlier I read comments where some web devs were sure in three years they will have no job.
This really captures the essence of his naïveté, to me:

> There are no fundamental challenges remaining. There are many small problems. And then there's the challenge of solving all those small problems and putting the whole system together.

That is the fundamental problem, of all AI research. How many edge cases are there, and how many does it have to handle gracefully before it’s “good enough”? I think the tail is longer than people expect, and the changes that have to be made to address it are very fundamental.

At the same time, I really want them to succeed, and I think FSD could be one of the most transformative tech advancements of the century, like the original invention of the automobile.

That would be quite hard to do without a special case, since the default action of the back button is to pop the current activity off the stack and return you to the prior one. (I know too much about this from trying to add a button in an existing app to do the same thing)

It's a shame it's not available though. It'd be useful for navigating tab history in firefox. (currently, hold down back button and select from menu)
There was an article here recently of someone who settled with Tesla for a refund with interest. I don't know Finnish consumer protection legislation but if they didn't deliver and aren't doing to, that might be something to look into.
This doesn't mean very much to me without an explanation of what the actual progress has been. For example, has level 4 autonomy been achieved?
Yup I hate discord. Discord is for gaming, not for school or work. They should use something like Mattermost instead.

But J, they don't want to waste their time with hosting a messaging platform!

Well if that's the case, then why would others waste their time hosting their own project management board?
He is referring to variable speed limit signs, where they can change the speed limit of the road in bad weather (for example).

Why should cars sold in other territories only comply with North American signage?
I think that's the point: to show how much, for how long, and how consistently Tesla has been lying about this. These are not offhand comments made once or twice. Every single time FSD is talked about in public, Tesla releases a statement like this through Musk.
> You can argue, "yeah, but what about ublock origin (or another ad blocker)?" To you, they'd (speculatively) say, "ye are few, why bother."

Well clearly YouTube thinks it's worth it to go after AdBlock users now.
Wrong Mozilla.
And also in fairness (though it is funny, and yes more drawn out than the early estimates, but every big project is delayed and overbudget, everyone knows that) it does start talking more about regulators, that Tesla's pretty happy with it, which strikes me as fair enough? That's not that much in their control, unless there was something specific regulators objected to or needed to see and Tesla was refusing/hadn't managed to.
This seems to be an incredibly popular belief despite the fact that there's no evidence for it and it wouldn't make any sense.

Waymo's remote support teams can reach into the driver's model of the world to fix things, for example maybe it mistook this stray traffic cone for actual roadworks - but they can't actually drive the car.

If Waymo needs a human to drive the car, they send a human to physically sit in it and drive the car. They have a whole bunch of people for that role. If you were in a Waymo that drove somewhere and there wasn't anybody in the driving seat, that's not because some 10 year old was using a PS4 controller to steer it from Bangalore, that's the Waymo driver software.

You can't even download the generated site. So don't have hopes.
I don’t know the specifics and have no dog in the fight, but the argument is flawed here. Human eye sight is in some ways better than small form factor cameras, eg anti-glaring, dynamic range, light sensitivity at night. Also, our vision is quite bad at some stuff, for instance distance estimates have a high error rate. You can do a lot better than that.

Tech is not biology, so in order for a computer to not do something stupid, it generally needs different sensors. Some sensors (depth gauge when scuba diving, altimeters for planes, or even gps) are obvious examples of when tech outperforms humans and is safety critical. Just because humans can drive doesn’t mean computers should replicate our “control loop”.
Did it kill people?
Apple previously didn't have any problems making breaking changes to their stuff, they even switched their whole CPU architecture and said "deal with it". If E2EE was really a concern to Apple, they'd implement it.
Push notifications just have the convenience of even technical people often not knowing that most of them are routed directly through Apple/Google. So how should your average user know? It's free data and nobody complains about it how they would with messengers eg

It like when Apple funded lots of usability studies on why one mouse button was optimal for most users.

They held out longer than expected, some 20 years or so, but common sense prevailed. Even if they had to make a design where the buttons weren't clearly visible first.

>But "recall" means "calling back";

Writing means to carve but you wrote this post without a metal stick and a hammer.

>hassle for owners

"Recall" is used to signify the severity of the flaw not the inconvenience fixing it caused owners. I feel "software update" doesn't do it justice at all and "recall" is appropriate.
I'm not sure if long running sockets are allowed on mobile phones these days. They were pretty normal for a couple of years, but phone battery life has increased substantially since Apple and Google started streamlining the notification system and basically sleeping background services that would otherwise poll for notifications through sockets. You'll still get your notifications, but (hours) late.

You may instead want to pcap a mobile client to see where the notification is coming from, I bet the server still phones home somehow. It's possible Apple exempted themselves from their notification policies and integrated their Exchange push services into the OS power manager like they did their APN service, but I'm not sure if I'd expect them to put in that much work for what's essentially a competitor.

As a side note, because it's not made clear during setup: the Outlook app for mobile phones will keep a copy of your email on Microsoft's servers (and a partial copy on the device); if you use that app, Microsoft will poll for updates the normal way and likely still push the notifications through Apple's servers, despite you not having set up any direct connection from your server to the cloud. This isn't the case for the built-in email clients, of course, but the Outlook app seems to be quite popular for Exchange accounts.
Tesla bagholders here on HN immediately flag any negative Tesla story that they see in order to censor it, so if you want your link to stick around it has to at least give the illusion of positivity.

An Introduction to the Compute Express Link (CXL) Interconnect
There are two lags to take into account. Lags at connection, and lags during the call.

Connection is what is very complicated to do safely, but once its setup, except for some signaling, it is much simpler [1].

The architecture used by some people (I wouldn't know exactly who does what, it's all muddy) is that the connection/signaling is done in application processor, but the Encoding/Decoding + RTP is done in baseband processor. You do get a bit of additional of lag at connection (but anyway you have an UI to show), but you can keep your real time audio guarantees.

[1] That's for volte. For vowifi, that's more complicated, but anyway talking about lags over wifi...
Hopefully we don't go down the "liability for open-source code, not for businesses" road.

We'll have to allow open-source code to waive liability, but not allow companies to waive liability; that's tricky and will go against the interest of the rich and powerful, so it will be especially hard to navigate.

Really easy to read, and very visible. But yeah, the AI is not trained for it. "Dumb" cars seem to recognize them though
Ok, but is it worse than a human driver? We can't know for sure until we try how a human behaves in that scenario!
The Ted Kaczynski approach works until you want to engage with the world outside your kitchen and you step outside and realize that the dynamic (personalized?) billboards are now across from your apartment complex. And the local park.
You can likely make a small claim to recoup that cost under EU consumer protection laws. Given the ongoing promises as per the article, I doubt there would be a time limit on instantiating such a case.

EDIT: I think the limit is only 5000 for small claim, but you dont need to go the small claim route, its just super easy to do so.
Ah good point, radar/ultrasonics were what I was thinking of, not lidar. Looks like they’re still gone.
Even if it falls under free speech, which it definitely doesn't AFAICT, it'd be essentially the same as allowing any food producer to just forego an ingredients list. Because surely, accurate ingredients are compelled speech and thus a free speech violation.
Cog seem to be the type that just evals normal python.code. While many other template-engines replicate code-structures. For example, in Jinja2 you would write something like "{% for i in data %}{{i}}{% endfor %}", which looks kinda like python, and utilizes python-object, but is not real python-code.
Tesla to Recall More Than Two Million Vehicles over Autopilot Safety Concerns
There is (was?) a sideloadable app called "reprovision" that did the re-signing on your device without needing to do a reinstall every time. Was useful for keeping a jailbreak app on an ipad 6. Worked great as long as I didn't turn the device off for over a week.

Looking forward to the EU's sideloading rules coming in though, so I never have to deal with this.
A simple CMS. I became frustrated at actually being able to install Drupal - where a framework must be installed to install a framework to actually install... the framework, and Wordpress's new incarnation where a blog post ends up as a header and the footer ends up in the contact form didn't impress me.

It was easier to DIY my own thing over a year than deal with these 'tools' that once did what they said on the tin.

And I get to have joined the annoying HTMX crowd!
Nor did they monitor what you looked at on the page, track how you "interacted" with them, and sell all that data about you to anyone who would give them a couple of bucks.
I'm not the author but one purpose the database may have is to keep state if the monitoring process needs to be restarted.
> All the non trivial contributors are exclusively from a country known for Infosys, clickfarms for social media engagement, gamifying the interview/recruitment funnel (see Grace Hopper convention)

I see your other points are valid but this was uncalled for.

The person who commented the telemetry issue (Kailash Nadh) is also from India and CTO of largest stock broker, he is also known for encouraging open source software.

A large amount of contributors to GSoC and LFX programs are Indian college students.

All the dysfunctions you mention are symptoms of large population - of which I too have been a victim of. But I have seen some very good engineers in this country too.
Here's a photo taken by my S22U, http://dusted.dk/pages/computers/J-11/DEC_J-11_Gallery/full/... that's a cardboard box on top of a matte PC case, but somehow the phone sees this strange blurred pattern in it, as if the phone was moving (which it was not) while at the same time, the label is artificially sharp (almost as if edge detection is taking place), at the same time, you can't see a single fiber of the cardboard box (except for the very edge where it looks like it's grown hair, which it has not).. Have you maybe looked close enough at your photos ?

I think Elon inspired a lot of great things. Undeniably he brought back the Space craze, he gave the automotive industry enough of a push to finally invest in something different from ICE tech or their pipe dream of hydrogen cars. But things like FSD really ruin all those achievements for me. I'd still be impressed if he said: "this is hard, we're working on it, we do incremental roll-outs and once we're there, we're there".

This is why the GDPR demands explicit consent in many cases (even though many companies don't follow the law, unfortunately). The EULA is not a defence for a lot of data sharing anymore.

In my opinion, the USA deserves a similar law to protect its citizens from this type of crap. Unfortunately, privacy protection doesn't seem to be a very popular topic in American politics.
Not comparable at all. Airplanes are flown by trained professionals who know exactly what Autopilot can and cannot do. Regular consumers don't know these differences though and Tesla deliberately uses this ambiguity to deceive their own customers, who expect a "fully self driving" car.
I put some generic defaults, but it works well for tasks that happen only on certain days. Taking trash to the curb once a week, packing bags for kids after school activities, etc. We liked checking things off the list, so we put obvious stuff too, but it's easy to forget infrequent tasks.
GitHub Issues is all you need? In combination with projects and milestones, I feel like it can be more than enough for many use cases.
I read this years ago and it really resonated with me at the time. Why reinvent the wheel, right?

Reading it again now, it seems to advocate for going from one extreme to another without exercising judgement. A shell script might be fine in one context and irresponsible in another... but I guess nuance and circumstance don't make for interesting blog posts.
I see three options:

* he's lying, i.e. he's knowingly deceiving his audience to create hype and raise the stock price which he financially benefits from

* he's bullshitting, i.e. he's embellishing what he knows is in development with the hopes that engineering will overdeliver and meet his promises or something similarly impressive to distract from the failed expectations

* he's truthful, i.e. he's genuinely and continuously overestimating what engineering can realistically deliver and keeps being wrong over the span of a decade

I'm not sure which scenario is most flattering. Keep in mind that a lot of his claims seem to be unplanned and he doesn't believe in PR departments so most of his statements seem to be his personal judgement based on what has been reported to him. I'm inclined to believe he doesn't care much about the truth value of his claims as long as they feel like the right thing to say to him ("hashtag no filter" as the kids used to say).
The concern is that the attack could be carried out remotely.

Even if you know an action is under swipe, it is often difficult to avoid triggering the default swipe action and to drag just the right amount if you really want to select one of the non-default swipe actions, or conversely (especially on iPad) you may have to drag inconveniently far to trigger the default swipe action. It’s just a bad UI pattern.

Cool place, but it doesn't show the work of individual artists in a rotating basis. It's more of a permanent museum. Also, they don't list the names of anybody involved in the games themselves, only brands. If games are art then they are worth attribution. Right?

Flapping wing aircraft where being perfected for a long time before being abandoned, so not every progress actually leads to a result. Selling hopes as a "sure thing in 2 years" I think justifies snarky responses at least.
Interested in how it will pan out. It is a little disappointing that some major feature are missing, like functions and queues. Maybe I am missing something there, or maybe it is going to really heavily on kubernetes to provide those services which would be a major let down.

I agree, it almost seems like some type of coping mechanism for that fact that after all the ability to get computers to generate art and coherent sentences, we're still completely none the wiser about understanding objective reality and consciousness and even knowing how to really enjoy the gift of having the experience of consciousness. So instead people create these type of "cop outs".

Mechanical drawing machines have existed forever, I loved, love, loved them when I was a kid and I used to hang the generated images on my wall. Never did I once look at those machines who could draw some pretty freaking awesome abstract art and think to myself, "well that's it, the vale of consciousness is so thin now, it's all an illusion", or "the machine is conscious".

As impressive as some of these models are at generating art, they are still drawing machines. They display the same amount of consciousness as a mechanical drawing machine.

I saw someone on Twitter ask ChatGPT-4 to draw a normal image, you know what it drew ? A picture of a suburban neighborhood, why might a conscious drawing machine do that?
I think it's on purpose, there're comments in this thread saying that its whip can even make you bleed.

The bot simply copies messages into a Google Sheet, which I then browse/analyze periodically.
