Some companies are trying no tipping: they put the expected tip on the base item and explicitly say “we don’t accept tips”.

AFAIK it’s not going well for them, partly because the “expected tip” tends to be 20%, but also because consumers just see the higher price and subconsciously it’s worse than lower price + tip. Remember, these are the consumers who allegedly tanked the “1/3 lb burger” because they perceived 1/3 < 1/4.

PRs welcome, although I think this is more suited to something like Wikidata. As I noted elsewhere, the lack of standard identifiers for devices makes this especially hard. Companies will often release the same hardware with different model numbers at different timelines and support cycles across different geographies.

The metric to track is probably “lifetime emissions”, which a few vendors report. The majority of these are actually from manufacturing and not lifetime, resulting in every upgrade becoming an emission spike(?)
As far as I can tell, they did not pay for an "unlimited storage forever" service. They paid for an "unlimited storage this month for $X" service. Eventually Google stopped offering that deal, and he continued storing his data as if the payments for data storage in the past would entitle him to store the data indefinitely into the future as well.
Free quota looks reasonable with 60 queries per minute. On the other hand data from free quota requests will be used to improve the product.

Since when is a ingredients list and ad? None of the ads related laws apply to ingredient lists. This utter nonsensical comparison that isn't rooted in any law, just a random idea some journalist apparently had.

Also since Tesla does not officially make ads (may have changed recently, probably the reason why they looked into the law), this whole claim relates to the law limiting speech not to anything Tesla ever said in anything that could be considered an ad.
The issue here is that the law forbids certain statements. That alone is the issue. Whether or not Tesla could/would/want to make these statements about heir car and if they would be truthful is completely irrelevant.

There isn't any allegation that the law was broken, the allegation is that the law limits speech that could be truthful and protected. (I'm not the court I wont decide if this is correct.)
Just do it like Australia, with everything incorporated into the price.

Tips are supposed to be around for good service. But after eating at hundreds of restaurants my experience is almost always just the server bringing the food and asking how it is a couple times. Maybe there's a delay. Not much difference.

Tips are also supposed to encourage good customer service...but now we have online reviews.

Tips are useless and outdated and I hate them.
The most successful form of vertical farming is agroforestry, or tree-based agriculture. It provides habitat, shade, carbon sequestration, and water retention while raising per acre productivity over that of 2-D cropping. Agroforestry is a well studied, widely implemented practice that big talking green tech "big thinkers" tend to ignore if not openly scoff at.
This is awesome! I've been looking for something like this for the past year or so.i mostly consume audiobooks and there are a lot of books that are .epub only or have audiobooks that were recorded in the 90’s with really rough audio that make it hard to enjoy the book, this tool would be perfect for (re)creating new audiobooks. Looking forward to testing it out!

No. 100% wrong. If you advertise and sell "unlimited" then you should deliver unlimited. If you don't build in acceptable use limits into the contract, then that's your fault, not the customer's.
https://gorby.app - Just a word counting/text analyzing app. It started as a potential porfolio project and at some point I decided to turn it into something others could use too. I don't think it has any features that can't be found elsewhere, but I'd say it turned out pretty decent. I'm aware that it could look a bit better on mobile, so I plan to improve that.

If anyone would like to try "pro" features, please feel free to send me an email and I'll give you a code. Feedback is more than welcome! :)

On Twitter you can't swipe out of the tweet compose screen. You have to explicitly click the "Cancel" button in the top left, and if you have anything written it'll pop a dialogue to either delete the contents, save as a draft, or cancel (go back to composing)

I'm not sure how you'd swipe out of this screen.
You can express it however you like, and say "tortious fiction" for false. Doesn't change that in the end, somebody has to decide what is true and false, and this will always be a matter of opinion. So option A and B are not really different. I am sure Germans would also agree that "most speech" is allowed.
So, my tiny rural co-op ISP should barred from getting one of these, because they cannot afford to lay dozens of miles of fiber in order to serve a hundred households? You want to keep us country folk in the dark ages? Because that’s what it sounds like.

Laying fiber requires a small crew, and they don’t work for free. My driveway alone is over a 1/4 mile (400m), and it will take them a day to lay and terminate my branch due to all of the buried obstructions (based on how long it took them to lay new copper lines a decade ago).

I would be all for disqualifying the regional cable/telco monopolists, but who do you think lobbied their Congress critters to get these funds allocated in the first place? Ain’t never gunna happen….

Unlimited means unlimited. Too often what gets lost in the phrase "edge case" is that there's a human being on the other end. They should do the decent thing and work with him and anyone else storing more data than can be practically downloaded to come up with a workaround or extension. Imagine if your bank closed your account and forfeited your money because they couldn't dole it out to you fast enough.
same here! im more of a wannabe programmer "script kiddie". got into it through doing basic autohotkey stuff years ago and have been getting into python the last few years. i chanced my arm last night and asked bing chat to make me a python script that would take dynalist's exported OPML and convert it to workflowy's OPML format and it managed it on the first go! that seems crazy to me. i spent the next few hours reworking the code and ironing out a few edge cases, but it probably would have taken me a good few evenings if i had tried to do the whole thing by myself.

ive been asking it a ton of questions about raspberry pi stuff, how to make browser extensions, various API stuff for messing around with spotify and youtube and lots of other things ive wanted to get into for a while but that i had been putting off because i didnt know where to start. a lot of it is seeming very do-able now all of a sudden
> When google phased out the unlimited plan, he's not paying for a non-unlimited plan

Sure, but you're missing the main point of the story, which is the seven days they gave him to download everything.

> It would cost the guy $5000 a month to store his data on S3

According to the S3 Glacier pricing I see, it would be less than $900/month. It would cost less than a $5000 one-time payment to buy enough USB storage for the full 237 TB.

> and he doesn't want to pay that

No, the story doesn't say that.
There's plenty of European tech, but European tech companies either suck at marketing, suffer from outdated business practices, or get bought out by American companies when they start growing.

Any data center can start competing with at least the important parts of Amazon/Google/Microsoft if they collect the right open source tools and invest in making them easily accessible, but very few seem to want to take any risks. They'd rather have customers stick to their own custom APIs and web dashboards than implement any kind of common standard.

I want the European tech industry to be better, but if that's done through fining American companies into impracticality we'll only end up stuck with the annoying practices that have caused American companies to be so popular in the first place.
"Owner notification letters will be mailed in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 577.7." That's a lot of mail...
I hardly think it's fair to say that they were 'taking advantage'. If Google says unlimited, should the typical person really expect that to be taken away? That's a really bad look for Google. "If we offer something that's good value to you, expect it to be taken away suddenly in the future." Those are not the actions of a company I would want to rely on.
It's because the NHTSA forced them into a safety related "recall". It's not just a regular OTA update.

Tesla has a long history of being dishonest about Autopilot capabilities and dangers, and it's killed several people so far. The NHTSA is forcing them to make some tweaks.

(Not arguing that autopilot is on the whole any more or less safe than human drivers. Just that Tesla has a history of misrepresentation.)
> It would cost the guy $5000 a month to store his data on S3 and he doesn't want to pay that

The standard S3 tier, sure, but Deep Glacier would be about $250/month. Retrieval can be up to 12 hours but that shouldn't really be a problem for long term archiving. As with anything AWS, egress can kill you, but you can sidestep that with something like Snowball, and really that's only an issue if you need to egress everything to migrate the archive.
None of whom were people saying "there's no risk here just upside baby!"

How is this even possible? The article has nothing to back this up.

Indeed - People In The Know have some cocnerns with this approach: https://ardentperf.com/2021/07/26/postgresql-logical-replica... .

At $work we did use this approach to upgrade a large, high throughput PG database, but to mitigate the risk we did a full checksum of the tables. This worked something like:

* Set up logical replica, via 'instacart' approach
* Attach physical replicas to the primary instance and the logical replica, wait for catchup
* (very) briefly pause writes on the primary, and confirm catchup on the physical replicas
* pause log replay on the physical replicas
* resume writes on the primary
* checksum the data in each physical replica, and compare

This approach required <1s write downtime on the primary for a very comprehensive data validation.

Not sure if part of your argument is that we shouldn’t have safety features like a backup camera because they lead to worse drivers… because that is absurd.

At the end of the day, you are never going to be able to do tests or training to the level where it invalidates the need for good UX and safety features. Even for tasks with extensive training like air pilots, there is still a tremendous amount of effort put towards safety and usability. Human beings are fallible.
My question is wrt to labels that are self-prescribed, or not.

It's also clear that Israel are too cautious about civilian casualties, meaning the war doesn't just affect Hamas.
> combining Lidar Data with Vision in the NN

This is basic university robotics. Sensor fusion ! There are a whole host of techniques for dynamically updating confidence between two or more sensors estimating the same values. Kalman filter being the standard approach (which for reference was used in the apollo missions 50 years ago - developed a lot since then)

And yes, it is commonly applied with vision models. There are a host of combined rgb/lidar, structured light, depth camera and more setups in the labs students are working on at my local university, and have been for at least 6 years
I came to a similar conclusion after reading the article, reading an predictable output map from a known input and then implying that computation occurs within the organoid instead of their results being a function of predictable inputs -> predictable outputs seems overally sensationalized.

Having written some papers myself, I tend to be suspicious of any article that has "$HOT_THING needs a $PART_OF_HOT_THING revolution" in the introduction. Although I sympathize with the need for funding motivating its writing.

Reading through this entire exchange and it would seem your argument inevitably falls back on this argument of consciousness, which is both arbitrary (why does that matter in the original context of the distinction in learning, particularly from copyrighted works?) and ill-defined (what even is consciousness?

Deep Dive – Inspect Deployment Network Traffic in Kubernetes
Hmm, I would like to see a citation on that second comment. You can look at Frontier's last earnings release, they spent $168M of build Capex to pass 332k homes, or $506/home passed in the last quarter. Note that "passing" a home is not the same as connecting a home, there is additional cost involved there. And Frontier has tremendous cost benefit from the fact that they already own the telephone poles that they can reuse and have been doing this for decades at massive scale.

If you think the entire cost of laying fiber is just the cost of boring/digging, then you don't know what you are talking about.
In today’s intricate world of microservices and distributed applications, understanding and monitoring network traffic is paramount for maintaining security, performance, and seamless user experiences. Kubernetes, the de facto orchestrator for containerized applications, has transformed the way developers deploy and manage applications at scale. But with this power comes complexity, especially when it comes to understanding how network packets flow within and between pods, services, and external entities. How does one tap into this myriad web of network interactions?
Good idea! You are right, of course RuGiVi can be used with any jpg file. I currently rework the whole coding mess it is right now so that afterwards it is more clean and then can handle videos (as still images / slide-show). Since this affects the file handler (currently jpg only, then also videos) I will write it in a way that one can add raw file support for camera files also!
... and our judgments of composition favor recall over precision. Which is to say that as human judges we're good at finding sense in something generated if it's plausible. We'll take a proposition (eg in a composition) and construct a justification for it. "I can see how that makes sense". I am conflating plausible combination with high recall. Precision, in this sense, is that no proposition would be acceptable without evidence or precedent. With all precision, no new idea is ok. So a "knob" for recall vs precision on a generative system would nice. Is "temperature" that knob?

Yes, CFAA raids are definitely done as a form of extrajudicial punishment. When the FBI raided me at 6am with guns drawn in ~2010 they never indicted me, never charged me with anything. But they did steal all my computers and electronics, and all my flatmate's computers and electronics, and got me kicked out of my apartment (which they trashed). That morning they raided ~100 people across the US as part of a giant warrant to try to quash dissent and make people think twice about supporting wikileaks. It ruined my life despite no crimes being involved.

I didn't receive my computer equipment back until literally last year: 2022. And they shipped them back in two large thin cardboard box with computer parts sliding around freely inside. Literally it arrived at my house with a video card poking half out through the box side. Obviously non-functional. One last "fuck you" from the FBI for doing nothing but being politically active.
>but saves companies quite some money

That's all that matters to companies.
I'm not sure what to make of it from a legal perspective, but from an automation safety perspective the difference is the "Valley of Degraded Supervision"[1].

A very simple automated system that makes a lot of mistakes will make a driver more alert than baseline, but as the automation improves drivers will quickly start to trust the system too much and lose alertness. There is a huge gulf where the system is good enough to cause loss of alertness, but where the failure rate is still far higher than the average human driver.

But you're right, in that context it doesn't make much sense to apply to AP1 cars but not everybody else. It is a voluntary recall so Tesla might just be recalling everything named "Autopilot" even if a mandated recall wouldn't have.

That's not what "disruptive technology" means though. There's a very specific book [1] that described a specific dynamic to new technology innovations, and you lose a lot of precision by generifying the term.

In the colloquial sense, most workers jobs' get disrupted by garden variety financial innovation anyway. It doesn't really matter whether your job can be done by machine, the PE firm or corporate finance types will just lay you off, leave your job undone, and boost margins so they can unload the stock before customers realize they're not getting anything for their money.

CarPlay has been amazing. Almost all the rental cars support it, connect and you're good to go. The most annoying part nowadays with it is figuring out if the car you're renting supports wireless CarPlay or not. I carry an extra cable for that reason.

I think that is not true. They can just take data from the route, annotate it and put it into their training set. That is how you would do route tuning.
The actual text in the story doesn't match the title. It's pretty obvious if you read it.
I don't own a Tesla but when I was a kid we had Sega Channel and I remember waking up on the first day of a new cycle, excited to see what games had randomly been chosen to be listed.

>and then this term will no longer be usable for clickbait article titles.

It's not clickbait, that's ridiculous. The essence of the article is the results of the investigation. NHSTA has a process, they investigated and issued a recall. The fact that it can be fixed OTA doesn't change the intent of what's happening. I mean, at what point does the first comment stop being, "It's not a recall!" Who cares.

I'm more interested in the obvious questions, like: does the update actually make anything safer? If it's so easy, why didn't Tesla do it on their own?
They are just using what SpaceX/Starlink has said in the past[1].

This one affects your service though, a higher tip means your order gets picked up earlier and by a more experienced driver (one who got the ratings to see orders first and is smart enough to only take deliveries which are worth it).

Also, I assume that the people working these services are particularly poor, because these are easy to get jobs which provide quick money, but don’t pay as well as a regular job. So tipping in this case is donating moreso than tipping a waiter. Maybe I’m wrong though.
> Servers don't necessarily have to run 24/7.

I'm curious, do you actually run servers for a living? I'm wondering what a typical use case is (aside from crypto mining) where powering off and on physical servers due to demand, cost, or availability of power is a thing.
