The recall report: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V838-8276.PDF

This recall is specifically targeted at the system that monitors if the driver is paying attention.
Level 2 driver assists should be measured by their safety as a complete system, which includes the driver and driver monitoring. If autopilot causes the average driver to pay less attention that is a safety issue with autopilot that should be addressed.

From a technical standpoint I understand what you're saying (autopilot didn't get any better at driving), but if autopilot is causing a stochastic safety issue with driver focus then addressing that is a good thing and makes the complete system safer.

I mean 237 TB of data is an excessive amount of data. The 'victim' here clearly knows they are taking advantage of a situation. Google is in the wrong on their response but, come on, let's be reasonable human beings and stop saying 'victim blaming'.
First-of-its-kind tyrannosaur fossil reveals what younglings ate
The actual poll is here: https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabRepor... (Holocaust question on PDF page 103). From the YouGov story: https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/48112-increasing-...

For some context, they polled 1500 young adults who opted in to an online research panel. They asked them more than 100 questions, about everything from antisemitism to abortion. The "Holocaust is a myth" question comes after several about whether Israel is an apartheid state, is trying to wipe out Palestinians, the Jews have too much power, etc.

It's not a simple one off question about the Holocaust, but an entire framing about Jews, Israel and Hamas.

----------

I question how representative the 1500 respondents really are. Which young person is going to want to spend time answering 100+ questions on a survey about Israel? How many 18 to 35s even read or care about the Economist?

The results for most of the Jewish questions in the 18 to 35 group lined up pretty neatly pro vs anti (Israel). Maybe they just got sick of answering so many similar questions. Shrug.

I wouldn't necessarily draw too strong a conclusion from a poll like this, about a topic like this, at a time like this. It seems designed to capture the most inflamed opinions (at the expense of a more silent majority).
The NYT is more than capable of making a clear headline. These are not stupid people. But they do have goals.

I would give zero tips if I could. The problem is the spitting in the food and other bullshit like that. I know of people and restaurants who have literally spit in the food because of no tip.

That alone makes me not want to tip because the threat of that makes the tip undeserved, but the threat of that forces me to tip regardless.

I think it's interesting to consider the effect of something like Doordash or Uber et al. As a consumer ordering from a restaurant, if I'm visiting the restaurant I'm encouraged to overpay by 20-25% and I'd say that the expectation is that those tips are shared between the front and back of house, at least to some degree.

With Uber Eats, I'm getting the same food without that same expectation. Granted, these delivery services expect a tip of their own but there isn't the same expectation of those tips to be shared, despite the percentages being similar. That said, anecdotally I feel much less guilty tipping a "normal" 10-15% on a delivery than at a restaurant, which incentivizes me to just order delivery instead of going to the restaurant.

Is there going to be some shift in dining the way there has been in retail? I don't know, I'm not an analyst, but it's interesting food for thought.
Yeah and this is why Jira consultants exist
The tone and hyperbole adds nothing to the discussion.

You know very well that the argument is that companies should not have the right to dictate what you can and cannot do with your property.

The world would be worse off if our ovens only operate for manufacturer-approved recipes since it would “increase oven reliability and safety”.

Look at printers. Yes customers know the horrible situation before buying into it, but that in no way justifies their blatant power grab over what you can do with your own devices. The same for label makers. What those companies are doing should simply be illegal.

Re-useable rockets predate SpaceX. The boosters of the Space shuttle or its main engines come to mind. Aircraft launched systems is another. It wasn't thought of as a pipe dream as such.
No, the comparison here is to Apple.
From the article:

> Tesla began issuing an “over-the-air software remedy” to certain vehicles on Tuesday, safety officials said. The remaining vehicles will receive software updates later, and all updates will be free for the cars’ owners.

I was confused as to why Tesla needs to "recall" when they can do OTA update. The title is misleading

surprise
Yeah I was wondering about that too. I got a software update that seemed to add auto steer to my non-self-driving model y. I tried it a few times on the highway but it seemed erratic (switching off randomly and dangerously engaging regenerative brakes in the fast lane). Won’t be trying again until next update (if it sticks in the car).

edit: corrected autopilot (cruise control) -> self driving
Yep! This often happens when design systems are thought of in narrow terms of design tooling—component libraries and such in apps like Figma, without a connection to the implementation.

Edit—Responding to an edit in the OP:

>I like working with UX and designers, but more often than not, "we need a new design system" basically means "we want a cool, new theme"

This isn't so much an issue with UX and designers as a discipline, but rather points at larger issues in the organization around process, culture, expectations, and strategy, the perceived role of design in that organizational context, and the specific folks you've worked with.
>It's largely a rehashing of very old arguments that basically views Apollo as somehow the height of technology.

I think this kind of misses the point of the video, which was not about the technology of Apollo as much as it was the design principles that went into making the mission a success. Technology obviously is involved in that, but the argument for "do it like Apollo" is more a long form version of "keep it simple, stupid".

A good example of this is when Destin brought up the Apollo 1 capsule fire[1] which changed the speed and safety considerations at NASA. He cautions that now, before a catastrophic accident, is the time to make sure the best possible plan is being followed, simplify things that can be simplified, and get people to the moon and back safely. Something as simple as the choice to not use hypergolic fuels means there will need to be extra equipment to reignite the engines and redundant mechanisms for such a system.

Read the article you are referencing

> To justify its motivated reasoning, the majority points to delays in the development of SpaceX’s
Starship launch platform—the largest, most powerful rocket ever built—as evidence that SpaceX would
be unable to launch enough Starlink satellites to meet its 2025 commitments. The trouble with this
argument is that SpaceX never indicated that it was relying on the Starship platform to meet its RDOF
obligations, and in fact it repeatedly stated that it was not. Undeterred by the facts, the Commission now
resorts to twisting SpaceX’s words. For example, SpaceX said in a letter to the Commission that it had
“reached a point in the development of its Starship launch vehicle and Gen2 satellites [such] that it can
concentrate solely on Configuration 1 and no longer pursue Configuration 2” (emphasis added).
Configuration 1 involves launching with Starship, and Configuration 2 involves launching with Falcon 9.
Nothing in this sentence suggests that SpaceX needed Starship to launch Gen2 satellites, but that’s
exactly the interpretation that the majority now relies on

Falcon 9 is launching Starlink V2 at 22 per launch regularly for a while now
Fortigate is one such vendor we already cover, such information deserves to be free not behind login or paywalls.
I think at some point the absurdity of the numbers (now it's 2M, soon it'll be 10M, 50M, ...) will become so great that NHTSA will stop calling this a "recall", and then this term will no longer be usable for clickbait article titles. Absurdity because it'll get harder and harder to imagine how a company might bring in millions and millions of vehicles in for service repeatedly, from a logistics and cost perspective, and still be able to grow and make a good profit.
I like the way it is in Europe. Another good thing, at least in Germany, is that the menu prices already include taxes so I know exactly how much I am going to pay for the meal. I think this is true for all the European countries.

I have heard people saying that without tips we would get crappy service. In my experience, tipping is pervasive to this extent only in the US and I don't see any difference in service quality on average. In fact, compared to some countries like Thailand, US service might be considered terrible!
Now the signups ask for your RAM & CPU specs so I am guessing they will be heavy on both but as long as they make a better experience I will be happy.
> think of how crypto's use cases have been DeFi protocols and NFTs, while it's utterly failed as a currency

That’s a first world centric view. Many, if not most people in my social circle use crypto for transfers of significant sums and as store of value pretty much all the time.
What? How can they tell the difference between an encrypted file vs. some binary format they simply don't understand?
Lending money to strangers on the internet without recourse is profitable until it isn't. I assume the only currency trust is a web-of-trust and some type of "+/-" ratings system; which totally works until it doesn't.

These are gifts to some people, not loans. Loans are enforceable contracts.

Crisis (!?) is a bit dramatic.

Google response isn't correct but everyone here has there hands a bit dirty. Storing 237 Tb on an unlimited server - the individual clearly knew they were taking advantage of a system and probably should have been ready for some kind of remedy.
I often defend autopilot's use with real drivers. I've driven with it extensively and have seen how other people actually use the system. There are abuses, but no more than I've seen with other systems. And none of them have been fooled into thinking that it is autonomous when it is not.

I've even defended the name Autopilot, since we've accepted names like "ProPILOT" which are no different in my mind.

Having said that, Tesla's phrasing for FSD is awful, and horribly misleading. I see the effects of this among non-owners all of the time. They really do think the system is fully self driving, when it is not.

The company should be forced to stop this practice. It is deliberately deceptive.
To download that in seven days would require something like 3gbit/s

The headline is perfectly clear and is not using language in a new way. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues recalls for safety related issues. The way the manufacture resolves the issues can differ.

Completely agree with this. If it's your "life's work" - "free tier" storage is 100% not the place to put it.

Ask HN: Has Tech and Culture stagnated since the mid 00s?
technology and art through the 70s, 80s, and 90s (and earlier) seems to have distinct eras marked by noticeable aesthetic progression and change.

however, since the mid-00s, particularly with the rise of smartphones, there's seems to be a real lack of distinctive change until now.

i dont think i could tell a film or album made in 2013 versus one made in 2023 for example. they sound and look the same to me.

computer hardware and software also feels increasingly stagnant and samey. the last 4 or 5 iphones are almost identical. UIs all most look the same or very similar.

social media is 4-5 apps reposting and sharing the same content over and over again. occasionally broken up by some new moment that goes viral.

did smartphones and social media make us stuck in a memetic, globalized, echo chamber where we just follow trends? are people more focused on making things that sell, rather than trying out new ideas that are outside of this chamber?

2007 we had the jobsian smartphone, followed by the 2008 financial crisis. i feel strongly that these two events stole away a different better future, one of a more utopian socialist technology landscape. or maybe i am just a naive and bitter nostalgic person.
It's not support if you have to complain on a public forum though.
Coal and oil are also heavily subsidized: companies are given tax breaks, land and discovery are often provided below market rates, and cleanup is usually subsidized by taxpayers.

In aggregate, those subsidies are greater than what’s been spent on renewables by a significant margin.

These are future speed metrics, not current speed thresholds. And the performance metrics have been a constant shifting goalpost. You can read FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr's letter on this matter here: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-23-105A2.pdf This is most likely political.
So, it’s like one of the ones that falsely advertises 1TB of capacity, but only can store 32MB before it starts eating data.
This stems from a metaproblem, the average is mediocre. I've noticed better tools that have supposedly allowed us to simplify things have just made us to build more complex things. This all stems from a lack of talent. The problem is if everyone got 50% more talented over night, new things would get made, and a new average established and we'd still complain. This is because an average is relative and not absolute. Things that are "easy", on average never will be so. The trick here is to level up and try to join a better company.

I heralded this warning to many people before - doing business with Google is a liability.

Every company I've ever had any pull in, using Gsuite or GCP was marked as a risk in the risk register, and mitigations were put in place to manage that risk.
what do you think their goals are? where do they get them?
I get it, and you're right. I think we're all just tired of every bit of media being driven by revenue. There seems to be nothing that has been untouched/corrupted by this. Clearly I understand that people need to live, though.

There was that time in 2013, that I leaked my AWS key and a "hacker" ran up a $3500 bill running Litecoin mining[0].

Which states are you referring to? Locally you need a certificate for motorized craft and it seems like almost every other state is in this situation.

You can get the certificate after taking training but I imagine there is some way to test out of it.

The training doesn't need to be months long though. Try renting a jet-ski; they'll give you a very quick training but it's still present. Although jet-skis are probably not long enough to qualify as motorized boats in a lot of states.

Even their imitation is just superficial, at least for the prompts the average user is motivated to write.

I might not be able to differentiate AI content from any human content, but I can differentiate it from high quality human content.

Which is a bit sad, since AI will probably eliminate most lower end content creation jobs. This doesn't improve the state of the content industry for users, but saves companies quite some money...
The argument that national average bandwidth for Starlink is probably worse than for those rural communities is a solid one. Not sure if it makes up for the large gap, but in my opinion Starlink is well suited because it works better the less other users are in your cell (ie better in less densely populated regions).
Also a disruptive innovation. Those are new customers who turn to it because existing incumbents (whether governments or financial institutions) don't serve a specific population.
Ufw and firewalld rules to block VPS bots and scrapers
I made some ufw/firewalld rules to block all inbound traffic to my servers from cheaper VPS providers like Contabo, OVH and DigitalOcean, to filter out bots and scrapers. I have repeatedly seen attacks originating from these providers due to compromised servers (probably due to less technical customers compared to AWS/GCP leaving :22 open), or customers who are running data scrapers for their next big LLM I'd rather not entertain (due to cheaper pricing than AWS for egress traffic I'd guess). Data correct as of 13-Dec-2023. Disclaimer: I am not saying these corporations are malicious; like all networks they are subject to abuse from their customers.
Google offered "as much storage as you need" for the Workspace account, without attaching a condition on a required number of seats. It's not a loophole if a customer takes them up on the offer.

I'm usually sympathetic with businesses who failed to appreciate how much power very few power users really have, but this is Google we're talking about. Their sales and legal department is larger than 90% of tech companies. This was their mistake and their mistake only.
Just like “unlimited vacation.” Whenever someone says it you know there is something going on and you aren’t going to like it.
At a certain point "take the ball and go home" becomes the rational decision if a player in the game isn't being treated fairly. In this case, tipping zero becomes the simplest option.

Tips encourage artificial menu pricing, which disguises the intended price of a service.

Customers are being socially pressured into tipping more than they otherwise would want to. Social pressure is not a fair mechanism in a market.

Another pattern is where servers are expecting 20% tips in addition to 5-10% "Employee Healthcare/Benefits/Wage" Surcharges. Sure, health insurance is a critical need but that should be baked into the price of the food being sold. Patrons are then pressured to effectively give a total 25-30% for service, in addition to the advertised price of food. Insane.

Sorry that servers are caught in the cross-fire on this but their employers decided to use them as fodder.
