There are a couple good examples from the SAT. Veritasium did a video on it a couple weeks ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUHkTs-Ipfg

Of all the 300,000 students who took the test, only three reported a problem with the question. So at least for this case, 1/100,000 were able to identify the problem with the question and report it.
I actually like the final covers more for most of the examples used here.

This made me think about the cover design process for indie genre fiction. The common advice is to create a grid of 10-12 best-selling titles in the specific genre and niche that your book is in, and use that as a guide for your cover.

Are the fonts sans serif of serif? What are the most popular colors? Are most of them object covers or do they feature detailed characters? How many characters, and how zoomed-in are they? Where is the author name positioned and how large is it?

The thinking is that your own cover should fit perfectly into that grid. For new indie authors this can seem counter-intuitive, because the urge is to _stand out_. They think if they stand out, readers will be more likely to notice them and buy their book.

In reality, the safest bet is to only stand out _a little bit_ while still fitting in the aesthetic of successful books in the genre. Because genre fiction readers know what they like, and they'll look for covers that look like what they'll like. It can be a tricky balance: be _too_ generic in an oversaturated niche and you'll seem bland. But stand out _too much_ (to the point of not slotting nicely into that grid) and you'll be too weird for readers to click on. They'll go click on a cover that looks more like that other book they loved instead.

Some authors luck out or have such an established reader base that they'll buy any oddball cover - and they could even set the trends for future covers in the niche if so. But most of us small-fry can't afford to take that gamble if royalties are the goal, and the safer financial decision is usually to fit in.

Particularly that last point. I've tried setting up blocking for my friends / relatives, just a simple uBO setup in the browser - their main concern is what happens when it breaks the page or doesn't work. I've explained to them how they can disable it for that page or report a filter list issue, but they just don't seem to "get it" and usually end up uninstalling the blocker. I think to get mainstream a service would have to provide technical support on the grandma-can-barely-click-the-mouse level.

I do think though that people can understand the benefits of adblocking. For example the digital video recorders that cut ads out of broadcasts, that was/is a successful product. And my friends complain about the ads - it is just that the blockers are not at a level where they can use them.
Far right leaders advertise maps of a "greater Israel" from the Nile to the Euphrates, that is a huge provocation. Not something a "peace loving" nation would do.

Netanyahu presents a map of Israel that includes West Bank and Gaza at a UN speech and you think he "wants peace". Blatant provocations like desecrating religious sites, arresting thousands of Palestinians without charge, limiting water access, allowing and protecting settlers as they kick Palestinians from their homes in West Bank are all provocations. And that's just a short list

Massacring hundreds of people in the March of Return in 2018 during a peaceful demonstration is not the act of a "peace loving Israel".

You can't stampede into a room, guns blazing and expect people not to respond. There is no peace in the region with the status quo
Words matter. "Recall" had a very specific meaning in the past before OTA updates: your vehicle was recalled to the dealership to be retrofitted for safety reasons, which is obviously very inconvenient for the owner of the vehicle. These OTA "recalls" are safety issues too, but the wording still implies the inconvenience of dropping your car off to be altered by a mechanic, which is not the case. New terminology would be preferable.
I think his point was that the radical outsiders come up with ideas that sound great but don’t actually have any meaningful impacts towards making farming better.

This mirrors my own experience in the field to a T.
in other news the world's 50 billion-ish Linux, Windows and Apple devices have also all been "recalled" hundreds of times in the last few years alone
I wonder if projecting 2D to 3D as quads is necessary? because this looks like point-based rendering.

I would probably model and texture in 3D and then directly sample and render a point cloud.
Looks awesome, but the software side of things is a little bit empty.

Adding one video at the time also feels like like a lot of work so I wonder if it would make sense to add an option to suggest YouTube channels instead of individual videos. Then your site could list the latest and/or most popular videos from that channel...

I meant self-driving haha. Had it for 2 years but the names are still confusing. I'm like 99% sure autopilot did no steering before this update. Now it will try to go around curves on its own, but as I said it was randomly turning off (engaging the brakes unless you press the accelerator)... similar to the phantom braking stuff before but more shocking because it's steering too.
Oh, I didn't see the "CTRL + SHIFT + HOME" part in the linked AHK script, only the later steps, that's definitely less tedious, though also more dangerous (wouldn't work in rich text apps with tables and pictures etc.? though maybe your tool is smart enough to deal with rich text in the clipboard) and also pollutes the undo buffer.

Agree re. the potential to break flow part of the compose keys in general (all these grammar things should be automated away), though maybe in case of needing just a single diacritic the least fiddly alternative could be something like a hotstring in AHK ",u" to "ü" (comma + a letter without spaces, which doesn't happen in regular typing or a deadkey in keyboard layout with a similar effect)
That's because legally, they are. However, it hasn't stopped Tesla from doing things like hold press conferences (in the case of a fatal collision with a Semi) to talk about how the car had warned the driver to hold the steering wheel, and neglect the trifling detail that it had done that once, and it was eighteen minutes prior to the accident. Tesla will happily throw you under the bus to try to protect the reputation of FSD/AP.

> Tesla make it abundantly clear that the driver is still responsible for monitoring.

Tesla had to be dragged kicking and screaming into doing this. When AP first launched, the steering wheel checks were every fifteen minutes, then reduced to five. It has only been through repeated cajoling that it is down to where it is now.

Let's not forget that "The driver is only in the seat for legal purposes. The car is driving itself." is still on Tesla's website to this day. (And in a sense, it is accurate - the legal purposes just include trying to shield Tesla from as much liability as possible). Oh, and Smart Summon. "Bring your car to you while you deal with a fussy child" (and still maintain complete awareness of your car...)

I enjoy looking for houses in my neighborhood and imagining what I would do if I were to buy it and fix it up.

So I built a quick little app that can reimagine a house from a single photo.

It uses Replicate API to send your photo to an AI model that is specifically good at detecting straight lines/edges (perfect for architecture applications) - then layers on a remodeling prompt I iterated on for a few weeks.
> It is a regular OTA update

Tesla is mailing a letter to all affected owners about this. Does Tesla normally do that for regular OTA updates?
I'm not saying that if you have a time machine and have to choose whether to hop in or not, that it would be better. But it's really worth stopping and realizing how many of the problems solved by modernity, were also caused by modernity!

For example, for some weird reason you are obsessed with dentists. Read this then: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/oral-mystery-are-....

Cavities were probably rare before agriculture.

Same goes for antibiotics -- infections were a lot rarer before agriculture concentrated much larger population densities AND put them next to birds to catch respiratory illnesses from. Population density was basically a health hazard from 10,000 years ago to really, really recently, when modern plumbing finally solved it once and for all.

Finally, humanity arose in an area where cold was not a major issue. There are still plenty of areas like that.

And of course, food shortages historically are almost always associated with agriculture -- it's not surprising that intensively cultivating land to force it to sustain a much larger population would also be much more precarious. How could you possibly have a shortage if there's 10 or 100 times as many calories available in the area as are needed? It's in agriculture, where you only grow about what you need, because you allow the population to reach the maximum that can be supported, and force a large portion of them to work hard all their days to support as big an army as possible to conquer more land and repeat the cycle.... yeah, you become very vulnerable to small problems.

It seems like a lot of the problems of modernity are scaling problems -- problems you only run into when you insist on a much higher population density. We have been busily solving them for millenia, and by today, yeah, I'd pick today over 10,000 years ago. But don't kid yourself. There were plenty of generations in the 1300s who would have loved to trade places with hunter gatherers in a rich habitat with a low population density. This is the subtlety you are missing.

IDK, there've been a lot of nice quality of life improvements in those updates over the years. Eg, moving wiper controls to the buttons and configurable quick controls.

This is sure to backfire and increase attention to NEWAG's own alleged criminal behavior.

NEWAG executives & those responsible should face criminal charges for conspiracy to defraud in addition to libel.

It's clear that NEWAG knowingly lied about alleged malfeasance from the third party repair shops, and took advantage of their sabotage to incentivize if not require their customer to pay for service at NEWAG's own repair shops.
I think it's fair to say the manufacturer is intentionally introducing vulnerabilities to a nation's critical infrastructure. Is it possible for a sufficiently motivated actor to shutdown trains in Poland remotely? I'm doubtful the engineers used best practices when implementing such a function.

You should question the story a bit more. You think Google only gave 7 days? That seems super suss.
I had the same reaction. Makes one realize how cooking for yourself can greatly impact calorie intake.

The point still stands though. Popular models tend to to have massively hand optimized Nvidia implementations.

Whisper is no exception: https://github.com/Vaibhavs10/insanely-fast-whisper

SDXL is actually an interesting exception for Nvidia because most users still tend to run it in PyTorch eager mode. There are super optimized Nvidia implementations, like stable-fast but their use is less common. Apple, on the other hand, took the odd step of hand writing a Metal implementation themselves, at least for SD 1.5.
> If the goal is to get levels of performance that Starlink cannot provide, then this makes sense?

I think the metric is 'more likely than not meet peformance goals in 2025'. The technology itself is capable of the goals of latency and bandwidth.

According to Fiona Cicconi, Google’s chief people officer, Google employed 30,000 managers before the recent layoffs. The hard truth is Google needs a Twitter style culling. Take all those billions you're burning and give it to people with a builder mentality, not career sheeple. Unfortunately the same executives who would oversee this are the ones who need to be culled first.
I can't speak for the Python part (which another commentator also already did comment on), but I don't think the React part is anything to highlight as "code you should try to imitate".

I just did a quick look, but it seems to suffer from common problems lots of UIs suffer from. Zero tests (unless I missed where they are located), even for things that doesn't even touch the DOM (like the "helpers"). Components filled with heavy logic at instead of being cleanly separated out. Just two examples after a quick 5 minute browse.

That said, I've definitely seen worse codebases and this wouldn't be too hard to work on in a professional setting. Clearly it works for them, and they seem to be progressing, which is good enough. But again, wouldn't flag it as "exceptional" either which you seemed to have done here.

In my experience Uno and Avalonia UI are quite experimental still. And I totally dislike their looks. I spoke to Mike on the topic of theming, hope they introduce something more modern. To be fair, Avalonia UI is only becoming multiplatform.

As for Kotlin, it’s just a language running on a JVM or any other supported target. The interop with Java is stellar. You can use Swing or JavaFX, which now goes by OpenFX, for the desktop. Vaadin and Hilla target V8. There’s also Kotlin/js. There’s really a lot. Compose is much like SwiftUI, composable, similar to React in a way.

Do want to point out buildout requirements that are actually enforced in NY would be strongly compelling.

Do you believe that Israel would allow them to open the border and decide themselves what can go over? Israel have de facto control over this border as they decide what goods and which people can move through it. Saying that Gaza is not under a blockade because they have an Egyptian border is meaningless and disingenuous.

So it's just fine if they stole some land and kicked the people out? They should just be happy with losing everything they have.

What's strange about it?

AI doesn't slack when you're not looking at it. While humans do. And teams need tightly knit communication so they can avoid misunderstandings and synchronize together.

So. Shared working spaces optimizes the performance of humans, while AI has no physical existence, but its shared working space is feeding it 50MB file of text holding your entire project history. That's the AI office. Much cheaper.

> I just wouldn't use cruise control in heavy traffic

Assuming you’re staying in one lane for a bit, AP actually shines in heavy traffic (especially stop and go).

> I'll be driving on I-80 through Nevada or Utah and every ~10 minutes the car will slam on its brakes.

Two points:

1. The update I spoke of was in spring 2022. AP improved a lot with that update for me. Shadows stopped triggering phantom braking. Trucks driving it adjacent opposite lanes on highways stopped triggering phantom braking. It took away the most egregious errors, imho. So if you’re talking about trips mostly before the spring 2022 update, i can believe it. If it’s after spring 2022, then…

2. Nevada can have lots of reflection mirages due to desert heat. Not sure about Utah, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that was the cause there as well (if it happened have the 2022 update).

I have my criticisms of teslas as cars and as a company, but autopilot is not one of them.

> I wish there was a way to make my cruise control "dumb"/non-adaptive just to stop the random abrupt braking in the middle of nowhere.

Agreed. This is one feature I hope that they are forced to make.

My biggest use case of it would be when it’s raining. AP still forces auto wipers when it’s raining, and it often runs too long (when there is no more rain) and/or too fast.

Of course, since I live in CA, rain is rarely an issue.
