That's not the fundamental problem of all AI research. That's the fundamental problem of all software engineering!

Especially integration complexity is todays' biggest complexity in any significantly complex product. And you can't cheat yourself around it. We managed to cheat ourselves around growing complexity in subsystems by isolating them more and more, which allowed us to tackle the complexity with more people working in parallel. But that just further increases the integration complexity, where we don't know a way to effectively scale our approaches to deal with it.

The only way we know is "cutting corners": creating a system that's just working well in 99% of cases - leave the small problems of the remaining 1% unsolved, hence there's nothing to integrate for those. Works well enough for production use in a lot of situations. Doesn't work at all when it comes to Level 5 autonomous driving. And that's what Elon either doesn't understand or actively ignores.
Couldn't disagree more. Slamming on the brakes is an absolute last ditch maneuver at speed and shouldn't come about because the car gets a lil confused.
Oh that makes me so happy!

Would you mind sharing your site with me so that I can see how it looks?
Good question!

The primary reason was to learn Elixir, so this was just a well-timed excuse to explore the language (and Phoenix, the web framework).

The secondary reason was that my wife was the main client, and she doesn't respond well to raw JSON. Each tweet would be just the cat's name, photo, and a link to the website. I also did some filtering as certain cats have safety requirements we couldn't meet, e.g. no neighbouring cats, no children)

One of the main issues I had to figure out early on, was "how do I distinguish which cats are new, compared to the previous response?". This was made harder because I couldn't rely on the ordering; occasionally previously-posted cats would have details updated and they would move position. Postgres UPSERT was new (to me, at least) at the time, and it seemed like a very handy way to offload the responsibility. There were never more than 50 cats listed at any one time, so it was reasonable enough to request all the animals at once, and let the database figure out which cats were new, based on a combination of identifiers that would make them unique. I could also filter the updated records to see _what_ had been updated, e.g. the cat had now been rehomed.

Another thing Elixir did really well was the polling mechanism. It's absolutely trivial to spawn a worker that can repeatedly perform a task and asynchronously hand it off to be processed.

Hope that answers your question!
Origin of mysterious green 'ghosts' in the sky has been discovered
I'm a terrible amateur programmer. ChatGPT has let me be much, much more productive. I no longer waste tons of time on simple errors that are hard to spot, such as badly written if statements, typos in variable names, etc. It can usually spot these things much more quickly than I can. Similarly, it greatly speeds up figuring out things like deployment and build issues, though it's certainly not perfect in that regard.

For example, yesterday, composer wasn't happy with some dependencies, which now require PHP 8.1. Upgrading the server to PHP8.1 broke everything -- so I have to figure out how to deal with the broken dependencies or updating the php version without breaking everything, or both. ChatGPT often can give me a quick answer to this type of thing. Though, it sometimes can't either, which leaves me about where I'd have been anyways.
Because that's tyranny? The ability to criticize the government is a core tenant of a free society.
So it's basically lane assist + cruise control but stops working if you look away? I'm not going to pay 7500 €/$ for that. The whole purpose of self-driving for me would be to be able to stretch my arms or do something small on my phone every now and then. I'm totally fine if the car is uber careful and drives super slow or parks on the shoulder if it is not 100% sure what to do, and I'm also fine if it says "Attention! You have to take over in 15 seconds or something bad happens." But having the option to not pay attention for a couple of minutes is the whole point of self-driving for me. Unless they get that working on the Autobahn (maybe just in good weather, no congestion, reasonable speeds) it's just a toy.

Edit: meant "self-driving" as opposed to theoretical FSD.

Would also explain why every single "union vs Tesla" story disappears so quickly from the frontpage.
I don't think expressing one's opinion in a way that is not derogatory to anybody would be akin to being an asshole. Sure maybe the comment would've been a bit more appropriate at another time but they specifically complemented Braugher's performance.
No, they just get drunk instead.
> I would not think that Brooklyn 99 qualifies as a "cultural artifact".

Why wouldn't it be?
Typical of a lot of VCs they have absolutely 0 idea how to judge a business plan. So they just gamble on people and companies that look interesting to them. This is one of the least efficient if you look at one company, but it injects so much money around that it helps people bootstrap their own ventures with the money that leaked. So indirectly it may be a not too bad model that requires pure incompetence. (last sentence is almost /s)
Is there any comprehensive comparison and benchmark of intepreted languages or languages with a REPL and analysis of how each interpreter handles common operations?
Oh I forgot about that.

I thought they were relying on a bit of a loophole: they didn't kill (m)any humans, "just" a natural barrier, which is why they could get away with it.
The Intel Management Engine has existed since 2008. Did Apple laptops/desktops avoid this for significantly longer than that?
Spell check is probably the one which gets the most use from me.
Andre Braugher memorably acted out the near-death of his character Pembleton, from a stroke, and afterwards the consequences of a stroke like impaired speech. Really an unforgettable performance.
I'd argue that if the director decided that the characters should not understand what's being said, then its better if the audience doesn't know either.

For a particular example, it is my understanding that the movie "The Thing" is thoroughly spoiled right at the beginning if you speak Norwegian.
> In the United Kingdom, where post-pandemic excess deaths in similar demographics also persist, a government-funded independent inquiry is underway. “With each passing week of the COVID inquiry,” the BBC reported recently, “it is clear there were deep flaws in the way decisions were made and information provided during the pandemic.”

The linked BBC article has a lot to say about the mistakes that were made during the pandemic (e.g. waiting too long before the first lockdown in March 2020), but nothing about post-pandemic excess deaths. Throwing around quotes taken out of context again, are we?
(2005) so cum grano salis:

> Commercial speech, most narrowly defined as speech that "does 'no more than propose a commercial transaction,"' has received any constitutional protection at all only in the last three decades. It has received that protection only to provide truthful, nonmisleading, noncoercive information to listeners, the Court has said, and thus may be regulated to a much greater degree than other forms of speech. There is less need to be concerned about inhibiting commercial speech than, say, political speech, the Court has reasoned, because commercial speech is
hardier (meaning less likely to be deterred) and more verifiable.
Is this Tesla admitting they are guilty of false advertising?
Mine has no idea about the speed limit in the school zone next to my house. Why? Because the speed limit changes based upon if school is in session. When is school in session??? You might be able to tell by looking at the school parking lot. You could open a web browser, navigate to the correct school districts web page, download the school year calendar in pdf form, and determine if today is a school day. Or you could do what my tesla does and lets me drive 10mph over the regular speed limit (as of about a year ago - maybe they’ve fix it)
I recently moved from iphone se to a later iphone without a home button, the user experience is so much worse. I accidentally take screenshots all the time and find it slower to navigate back to the home screen.
As an example, my cellular provider gives a discount assuming I’ll be BYOD for the next three years. I’m really curious if I can make it past those three years. It would mean my phone is 5 years old at that point.
It’s not full self driving if it requires supervision. There isn’t support for it by definition. Do you really think the name isn’t misleading?
> had musk not purchased tesla after the roadster was built

He invested before even the first prototype roadster was built. At no point did he “purchase” Tesla.
> You know most of consumer apps everybody uses are closed-source, right?

You know that web browsers is not your typical "consumer app" right? And none of the current popular browser engines are closed-source.
The whole FSD thing is so misleading that it should make buyers eligible to a full refund. While the Tesla website only promises to deliver the feature at some point in the future, public comments from musk and others made it look like this point will be end of year
> it’s not financially viable when there is ample land for farming.

I've not heard of it being financially viable even when farmland is very constrained - say, in Holland.

The numbers probably work on the ISS, Moon, or Mars...so those places will probably be "stars of the show", in the next round of hype which vertical farming companies use to bilk idiot VC's.

(St. Helena has a reasonable latitude and low population density - so at most you'd need some greenhouses.)
As always, there's no principle involved here. This is just neoliberalism run amok. Deregulation and privatization aren't lofty goals or even efficient. They're simply mechanisms for wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy, either directly or via the government.

Legally, this is a silly argument that will go nowhere. After all, isn't defamation just "free speech"?

This is just vice signaling. It's like virtue signaling but instead you're demonstrating your bad character.

214,000 m2 of land saved...it's only 52 acres.

I'm also not convinced that growing this way, essentially in a lab without the soil web etc, leads to the health-giving foods we all need.
If you go 50km out of any major city (which is 30min drive with a truck) you always see lots and lots of space that can be used for farming.

I literally don't get it. Why not just incentivize more farming work like reduce taxation?
> and likely want to find ways to monetize things that people can do with their own interface.

There's no "likely" about it: they've publicly said that they intend to be making $25B/yr in subscription revenue from this.
Huh. That seems odd to me but I only open 1 project solutions with not more than ~5 files open at a time, with no other applications other than my browser running. But those CPU spikes upon each keystroke seems very odd indeed.

Which startup has everything figured out in the start? If investors are this picky, they are not investing in startup and won't be getting a deal which could grow 10x.

If Tesla failed due to high cost to manufacture or OpenAI failed because it couldn't earn revenue or Uber failed because of doing illegal stuff or overpaying drivers you would have said the same thing.
Did anyone need footage to know this is an ongoing practice?
The metadata is all you need: find a few messages in an interesting e2e chat, ask Apple which accounts received push notifications at those specific times, find intersection.
If I sent a message to a group of friends, you don't need to know the contents if all you want to know is who my friends are. Just look for groups of people getting notifications at the same time. After a few messages, you'll know exactly who is in that group.

I did some anonymization across hundreds of millions of users for some GDPR stuff a few years ago. If I knew when you made a purchase, to within a day, for two separate one-off purchases of our products ... I could deanonymize you. Specifically just you. If you had a subscription payment, and I knew at least one payment you were late on, and the hour you eventually paid it ... I could deanonymize you down to a group of 3-4 people.

Correlation and timing are huge for deanonymizing things in otherwise anonymous data. We had to round our dates to the week to keep some of our analytical data anonymous.
Hi! I answered this in the other post, but the Postgres UPSERT was the key. By using a combination of attributes (It may have just been name & D.O.B), In a single operation I could figure out if the cat has been posted (and update the existing row), or create a new row.

This worked as there were only ever 30-50 cats online at one time. If it was a thousand, I'm not sure what I would have done.

Edit: I realise now this was a rhetorical question. Oops!
Utopia is not possible in the first place, that is what I find amusing in this whole story... the number of people that believe it is.

Self Interest is core to the human experience people deny that at their own peril, it is why I believe in capitalism and reject socialism, i understand that all persons at all times work in their self interest anyone that claims their are not is lying to themselves.
Door/window sensors aren't infallible -- they're quite literally a wear item in most variants.

It's absolutely ridiculous to use such a signal to direct vehicle handling dynamics and control aspects.

source : I was a mechanic at a dealership as a young person for many years, and I replaced an untold amount of door switches as warranty work -- but back then the most that they did was annoy the driver with an intermittently lit cabin rather than brake-stomping.
Nice game, got lost a little in it.

But the time to try again takes a little too long, would be nice if the level would load again very quick.
The Case Against the Desktop
I like that 3% is seen as the standard, folks drinking like 1%-[gasp] fat free or whatever are nuts. As much fat as possible is healthier and tastier + more satiating
I created a super simple web app (using Phoenix LiveView) to track spending and budgets. I found all the options to be overly complicated. My wife and I have monthly recurring spends (rent, healthcare, subscriptions, etc.) that we share and we each want to know what our daily spending limit is.

I couldn't find a simple app that would automatically read our transactions reliably and generate this daily spending limit.

My app does 2 things:
Shows transactions: https://imgur.com/a/aJ9G02q
Shows limit overviews: https://imgur.com/a/ugnmnFq

I read somewhere that "fake" stars get pruned pretty quickly.

Regardless, imperfect as it is, a GH project with 20k stars feels more credible than one with 200.

(I write this as someone who works full time on a GH repo with 200 stars! :D)
The basic principle is that free speech does not include the right to incite or conspire to commit a crime. Misleading commercial statements falls under that principle, while political opinions generally don't, again as long as they're not e.g. a conspiracy to break the law.

There have been some notable lapses in applying this principle in US history though.
Although the structure is fairly good, but I'm always puzzled why testing is so neglected, especially with projects that are popular and - hypothetically - production-ready...
Integrating Manual with Automatic Instrumentation
All of these companies are basically soft scams. They go against the fundamental ethos of open source. It's a shame really. Also I wonder how many of these rankings are not gamed by Indian bot farms.
Maybe also smartwatches as features increasingly include health algorithms based on the sensors involved? You could also get grants in that direction.
In my job I am constantly given two lists and needing to vlookup on them. After spending so much time opening Excel to do this, I wrote a simple app and compares two lists of strings and gives you the shared items or unique items from the left or right.

This is a bad game of telephone where people discussing what they think Tesla lawyers said but not what they really said.

1. Tesla lawyers are not claiming that whatever Tesla said is fine because first amendment.

2. They are claiming that the laws DMV is using to go after tesla is invalid under first amendment.

Hopefully you can see the difference and see that everyone here argues 1. but not the 2.

The article is pretty clear so draw your conclusion about the state of online discourse.

But where are the calculations showing that the electricity, chemicals and equipment needs and their ecological cost are worth it
Most of these places are producing herbs and salads which are low weight and low volume per consumer. And they have a volume of waste that's pretty colossal (growing media for example but also electrical equipment that failed and chemical containers) all of which almost doesn't exist in traditional farming if you measure by unit produced.
i'd rather people break personal habits without involving the rest of the highway.
It really seems like on a technological level, sustainability on earth is roughly solved even with modern comfort. What remains of the problem and prevents us from implementing it is more social and political than anything...

An off planet colony would likely face the same issues of sustainability as soon as different factions start competing for resources.
I hadn't heard of sqinn before. According to these benchmarks it beats Cgo-based solutions most of the time, which makes it a very interesting candidate. Anyone have real-world experience using it?
Right, I agree about Holland. Same would apply to Belgium or Luxembourg. But what about 90% of the countries that do not have this problem? Everything east of France is just fields and fields of nothing.

No, it actually means "everything else" happened, except disappearing. The usage in the title is wrong, IMHO, but I aḿ not a native speaker. (Though I would bet there is David Mitchell video out there ranting about this topic.)
That rate looks not-statistically significant in that study. And also not too “serious” (in layman’s terms, not medically speaking) as the baseline rate for the placebo was 18/10000 (the 1/1000 is a delta value above that)
yeah he over promised on FSD, but still delivered on reusable rockets, and more or less nudged all other manufacturers to producing eletric cars at minimum, a few years earlier than they intended to.

He also exposed twitter's political bias & collusion with US security agencies, and exposed that the company can run with 80% less staff.

I seem to remember that modernc worked great until i added a FTS5 [1] table and things became very slow. This was a while ago now, so it may have changed or I may mave misattributed the slowness to the non-CGO implementation.

Good point. There are implementations of this in various languages, then, that are linked in the blog post.

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to tell postgres to only generate the identifier if it's not part of the inserted data already... but that might be a nice compromise
Hard disagree. Do you know how EVERYTHING around you works to the smallest scale? And if you do, when you encounter something new do you just drop everything and meticulously study and take apart that new something? The last time you could be a Renaissance man was, well, during the Renaissance.
> According to you, if it takes a true believer to be a Tesla lawyer, what does it take to be a public defence lawyer that represents murderers and sexual offenders?

It takes to be a true believer in the rule of law, and the role of a defence lawyer in the system.

Nah. People are free to criticise whatever they want to. There is no harm to it, and they absolutely have their right to express their opinion.

It is an important form of public participation.
I've always blamed the rugged individualism mindset common in America.
I vaguely recall doing probability in middle school, but it was never framed in formal terms. The lessons never really transcended "let's roll some dice and draw some graphs." The college course helped me project those ideas into other domains. You can use probability theory to dissect rhetoric, for example. Never thought about that.
I very much disagree. They didn't just make cars "that work no different than those on the market". They jump-started mass-market electrification of cars, solving who knows how many problems along the way, in technology, business, regulation, manufacturing, etc etc. That's very different to making another Ford Focus.
Of course the problem is that „fact“ is ill-defined. I am sure Iran will agree with above statement, it’s just that their set of facts is different from those of US judges.
