Software update with a critical fix?
I got confused by the buttons as well.

> I'll try putting something more minimal in.

That would be great, do please add the boilerplate to all the weeks not just week one, because starting from a completely blank page is also challenging, especially for people who aren't familiar with Go all that much.
> The update will add new, more prominent visual alerts and checks for the Autosteer function, which is part of Autopilot.

Nothing was actually broken but regulators just insist on more alerts and Tesla just implemented those and is rolling them out with a routine software update. But that's a less dramatic headline.

Actual recalls are less frequent unless there is a hardware problem like the wheels falling of a toyota: https://electrek.co/2022/06/23/toyota-recalls-bz4x-electric-...

Some, manufacturers of course don't have the ability to do OTA updates for their cars and need to recall the car to perform software updates. Especially firmware of components sourced from third parties (e.g. engine software) is usually a bit more tricky. Even with manufacturers that do have OTA updates, it's often limited to just the entertainment software.

Tesla doesn't have that issue because they design components in house and don't have a lot of external software suppliers (if any at all). So, they can fix just about any software issue with over the air updates and make the car better over time. Some of the Chinese EV manufacturers do the same. But more manufacturers should do that.
>Classic examples would be things like Apple paying to have their laptops or computers used as the props in movies. Or a car manufacturer having their vehicles shown.

Ah! Wayne's World...way (way) ahead of its time.
I can't read this, it makes me too sad for what my country has become.
Obviously it’s a lottery to the BABY.

This is straightforward Rawls-liberalism.
Oh wow, that’s also pretty hidden, I never noticed it
It means a critical safety issue has been found by the government and they’re forcing it to be fixed.

Manufacturers can initiate recalls, they aren't always, or mostly, issues found by the NHTSA. They are required to report them to the NHTSA who track and monitor them. I wouldn't say they are necessarily "critical" either. Here is the list of recalls for a 2005 Toyota Camry, for example.

You can swipe left/right on the very bottom of the screen to switch "back" to apps. The back swipe gesture is for "in app" navigation and is much better than what Android has. The Android back button can do like a million things: dismiss keyboard, go back a page, switch apps, go home, etc. It's a mess.
They're tedious and those platforms are too rich when it comes down to serious developmental discussion.

When your writing code raw, you need a service that supports raw discussion.
> No website can survive that doesn't addict you to check it again and again.

What is that supposed to mean? There are plenty of websites that are not out to earn any money. It doesn't take anything for them to "survive".

Sadly this is nearly impossible for digital products or services, at least those worth paying for.
I tried it for a couple months (Typescript) in production. It was about 80% accurate, and useful for some snippets, but the 20% of errors were subtle and time consuming to debug. I canceled it.

These days I will occasionally use ChatGpt to ask a coding question (alongside Stack), but automatic AI autocomplete just gets in the way for me. I turn off all autocomplete, generally. The time it saves when it's right is overshadowed by the time it takes to manually fix its errors, especially when it takes me out of the flow.

I don't doubt that it can write higher quality code than I can when properly prompted, but doing so in autocomplete and with a high error rate was more disruptive to this human than helpful. YMMV.
Well again, Autopilot probably is an accurate word then - because consumers should clearly know the limitations and nuances of Autopilot to safely operate it, and a failure to understand those limitations can clearly have deadly consequences.

Is the argument "You can't call it Autopilot because Autopilot refers to a complex system that requires a skilled operator and needs people to pay constant attention"?

Furthermore, I wonder how you guys plan to encourage users to jump ship from (node/go/Java/.NET) to winglang, all of which have a rich package ecosystem?

Not exactly. I've entertained the idea of vertical farming because it can make fresh food possible in the core of the densest cities. It can also reuse energy for heating buildings to heat greenhouses. So it's an energy play.

Laser weed killing isn't just about efficiency. It could mean eliminating the pesticides and the diseases they may be causing.

Insect protein seems to be loved by the vegetarians who don't see eating insects like eating beef.

In other words, efficiency is only part of the mix.
Much worse with Indian Railways. The website is riddled with ads. And if you need to book an emergency ticket, the portal opens 10AM for everyone in India. Obviously the traffic gets too much. I keep the network tab open and its painful to see requests for ads hogging up the resources when you're trying to book an emergency ticket in a race against the nation.

Booking one ticket involves solving 2 captchas. They even tried to involve advertising into these captchas. You had to type out some specific detail from the ad to get past it.

Egress charges probably don't apply (or not directly; you might have to pay them anyway if the only way to download fast enough is to run your script in GCP), but if they did there are services which do the migration for you and take the hit on the egress.

Also they've been giving out these warnings for months. I'm sympathetic to the guy with the seemingly abusive legal actions from Fox but this storage problem did not just spring from nothing into the final crisis stage.

We had to move a bunch of data off gdrive too, which did little for our opinion of Google's business customer support and was a PITA I didn't need, but the first warnings were in 2002 some time and we were nowhere near as egregious in usage as some of the/r/datahoarder crowd that had multiple petabytes hiding in the lowest cost Gsuite legacy pricing.

> But ignorance is a choice.

Is that true for this case?

Understanding the actual on-the-ground situation for all types of people and situations in the 10 largest countries will probably take up most of a normal human lifespan. And that's assuming they spend several hours a week, 50 weeks a year, learning.

Understanding India and China alone to that level would probably take up 30-40 years.

It seems literally impossible for the vast vast majority of people to have enough time for that ignorance to have been a meaningful choice.

i.e. This is likely the baseline default for nearly everyone, who are not especially interested in the UK or who are not super-geniuses.

Battery content. This is to stoke the buildout of the US battery manufacturing supply chain, and will derisk against geopolitical risk and China holding the energy transition hostage. As Charlie Munger said, “Show me the incentives, I'll show you the outcome.”

I've found that Android development is actually fairly easy due to the way the system handles the different display tags and how standardized they are. For web it seems like there are multiple layers of possible options - html, css, whatever framework, then the libraries and content management systems. I'm sure this exists to some extent in Android projects, but it doesn't seem to be as much spaghetti.
It's not really that shocking. Power consumption is non-linear with respect to frequency and you see this all the time in high end CPU & GPU parts. Look at something like the eco modes on the Ryzen 7xxx for a great example. The 7950X stock pulls something like 260w on an all core workload at 5.1ghz. Yet enable the 105w eco mode and that power consumption plummets to 160w at 4.8ghz. That means the last 300mhz of performance, which is borderline inconsequential (~6% performance loss), costs 100W. The 65W option then cuts that in half almost again down to 88w (at 4ghz now), for a "mere" 20% reduction in performance. Or phrased differently, for 1/3rd the power the 7950X will give you 75% of the performance of a 7950X.

Matching performance while using less power is impressive. Using less power while also being slower not so much, though.

> But in Europe, the legality of what Dragon Sector did is murkier. [...] Cory Doctorow explained in his excellent Pluralistic blog that Article 6 of Europe's 2001 Copyright and Information Society Directive is generally stricter on DRM circumvention than Section 1201 of the DMCA, and does not have a specific repair exemption. Because of this law, Doctorow told 404 Media that "there is now an extra layer of jeopardy for these researchers. They were brave to come forward..."

The Tegra X1 was also originally, rumoredly, not meant for Nintendo.

https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-launches-tegra-x1-...

It was going to be for "Deep Learning," "Computer Vision Applications," "NVIDIA DRIVE car computers," and robots. As we know, outside of some Tesla models, that didn't really happen.

Rumoredly, according to people who have read the leaked Nintendo documents (Modern Vintage Gamer has implied it in replies to comments on his videos), NVIDIA had found the bug with the recovery mode before the Switch's launch; but Nintendo couldn't just move the announced Switch launch date to wait for a chip revision, especially after the Wii U financial performance. So, off it went and they just had to cross fingers and hope nobody found it. Nintendo probably got a good discount for that mistake too.

Known feedback is already encoded in the inputs. I don't remember move 37, but I think I know to what you're referring. Playing games against itself, and remembering, meant that outcomes (i.e. feedback) were already encoded in the inputs for the next run. It had a goal - win the game - but it's hard to claim that the machine itself was wilful. The people who designed it were. But, the machine was just an incredibly effective goal-seeking instrument. The rules were clear, the goal was clear; everything was pretty constrained. Just because move 37 never happened to have been used previously in the recorded history of Go, except in the games the machine played against itself, is meaningless in a claim to innovation. It was just both novel and effective.
The will sets the goal, it precedes it.
The scientific method is neither here nor there. I don't understand its relevance to the point I believe you're trying to make. Theorize, test, refine or abandon. It's mechanical, except in the theorization and the decision making around refinement or abandonment. What can we imagine? and how shall we judge? Both efforts of will.
Someone has to decide that shelter is a good thing, and some smart person in Zambia, a long time ago, came up with the idea and pushed it forward. That person must have wanted to do it, without prompting and without prior knowledge; at least, the first one must have. I recall Einstein's own story that he came up with the original theory of relativity by imagining what it would be like to sit on a light beam. Innovative stuff. Imagining doesn't seem very AI-ish to me.
My personal view is that, right now, AI's have only memory, and that they don't have experience. Experience is the why?-part and the judgement part without an external entity establishing a goal-seeking mechanism. Maybe they'll get there. Who knows?
When you consider the actual context of the essay and that the person to whom the author is speaking directly is the sister of an MP and herself a MEP, this kind of well-actually does ring hollow.
+1 for enumerating CLI options in markdown files. I commonly forget to update my READMEs when making changes to the interface and cog has been a really helpful utility to take care of this for me.

Could be that it’s really easy to map a random noisy latent into a picture of a galaxy? Prompts like this also usually ask for “more” or “bigger” and I would say a galaxy is one of the bigger things that we can visualise.
They were asking to shut down discussion on a discussion board instead of just hiding or flagging the thread and getting on with their day (speaking of the guidelines...). They said the discussion was going to hell before nearly almost any posts popped up. I asked what the strongest interpretation of this comment was. With all the context, to be frank, it is poisoning the well and I gave the benefit of doubt in deference to the guidelines.

You call it definitely flamebait, but I expected no flames and no one flamed me. Based on the responses, comments and votes, it seemed to be recognized as an honest post (as it was).

OK, but that was far from the only reason. From the actual decision:

> While Starlink faults the Bureau for relying on the most recent available data at the time of its decision to evaluate is existing network performance, Starlink does not explain what other data source the Bureau should have used in lieu of using the most recently available data. When the Bureau's decision was made, the most recent available evidence showed that "Starlink’s performance had been declining for download speed, upload speed, and jitter test performance." In other words, it was not only failing to meet the RDOF public interest obligations, but also trending further away from them.

(edited to fix formatting)
Not if they were explicitly offering unlimited fries.

In that case they would be indisputably unreasonable, in its dictionary definition of “having no basis in reason or fact”, where reason and fact are that they offered unlimited — not 5 pounds — but unlimited fries with any hamburger.
> 5000 a month

assuming it all goes into frequent access tier, which this shouldn't as this is an archive. just by enabling the automatic tiering is going to be more like 1000/month

and if it's would instead end up organized into glacier as it should it's gonna be more like 300$/m

which is not dirt cheap, but still. it start giving the prospect of maintaining a home archive with manual disk rotation and scheduled data verification some second thought.

If you're looking to get into it I'd recommend that path. OPNSense works pretty nice out of the box, the documentation is great and there's a million switches for you to experiment with. There's even a tool to link your configuration to a git repo so that if anything ever breaks you can always go back.
