you know, my default stance is pirating is the way. i don't give a shit who "owns" the media. if it's in my harddisk, it should not go away unless I delete it or the system (fs / hw / what have you) is kill. good thing I don't enjoy entertainment like movies or music. but in the small chance I like it, I'd go to the store, get the disk, rip it or just torrent it.

but bro! that's immoral and you will suffer in hell!

nah bro, we're already in hell.

bro! them popos will catch your ass and put you in jail!

nah bro, if they don't know, it's not illegal.

That would depend on traffic, like it could perfectly work for you 100 times and the 101 time when a truck with some weird painting on it is present on the road and it will just hit it, or because of day of the year the shadows are different.

Tesla keeps the true data secret and cherry pick the results they want.
Would be inserting to data mine that data, like

- are there roads where humans always (most of the time ) take over

- how many near accidents are caused by FSD/autopilot

- are there time of day variations

- are there weather variations

- are there issues after software updates

- what are the good roads and bad roads see if we can identify what is special about them.

Probably there could be more the public would like to know if the data would be made public, and IMO makes no sense to keep this public safety data secret.
>>>>Proxmox VE has an extensive REST API with API tokens

I am sure it does, that would then require enterprise to build their own tooling. I clearly talked about integration with 3rd parties that were built into the product, I do not know many IT Teams that have either the human resources to devote or in many cases the Knowledge to inhouse dev their one tools on that level. They purchase 3rd party tools in lieu of bespoke tooling.

This is a common point of contention when I interact with people in developer or devops communities like this one, they have forgotten how traditional IT shops work. We are still out here, and we are most likely the primarly customers impacted by this change. The DevOps shops are in the cloud...

>>>>There's also Proxmox Backup Server that can handle guest-level backups as good as Veeam can, but yes, the agents and application level backups is still not there

PBS is not a replacement for veeam even for Guest-Level Backups, It is about 5 years behind if not more in Backup Tech.

Veeam Provides (that ProxMox does not)

* Hypervisor agnostic backups (Restore from any supported Hypervisor to Any hypervisor or supported Cloud. i.e I can restore a vmWare VM to AWS Directly)

* Application Aware processing for common applications like SQL, Sharepoint, etc
I think this is different than what you call "Application Level", as an Application Aware Backup will use technology to flush cache, finish tranactions, prune logs, etc to put the application in "saved" or "backup ready" state, PBS creates "Crash Consistent" backups only, basically as if you just pulled the power from the VM, some applications this will corrupt data, Application Aware backups work to prevent that corruption

* SQL Transaction Logs backup in per minute intervals with cross location functionality

* Continuous Replication

* Isolated / Automated Restore testing with reports

* Awesome Compression and Duplication rates in the backup files

* Builtin Support for S3 Storage with out having to do OS Level hacks (PBS depends on something like rclone to do this)

* Builtin Support for Block Replication with having to do OS Level Hacks

* Help Desk portal for File Level Restores that allow for RBAC Security

* Integrated Agent based backups for physical systems that provides a Single Plane of Glass for Backups

* Change Block Tracking (CBT) support

* Immutable backups repository

Comparing PBS to Veeam, is like Comparing pfsense to Palo Alto Pan-OS firewall, sure they both block traffic, but 1 in 100x more advanced

Apparently FSD is the nuclear fusion power of the car world. Except with a much more aggressive "timeline" (always only 2 years away instead of 15 years).
Given Elon's obsession with "it should see like a human does" i.e. only relying on vision and nothing else, I don't think FSD will ever be feasible and safe tbqh. This would be trivial to avoid if the car had an actual sense of distance other than comparing pixels.
I wanted to put the focus on the overused "glorified x thing" sentence, which to me seems to be applicable to just about anything. I didn't want to liken/compare AI to biological systems per se.
IIRC, they did deploy that battery swap thing to some charger locations (hearsay, didn't confirm) and charged as much per swap as gassing up an SUV, plus you had to return later to get your battery back. They gave up because nobody wanted to do that.

A bunch of these claims are understandable with the tech and hype available at the time they were said, but there wasn't enough committent to follow-through. Not that it would have helped much.
It isn't about hand-tuning. I'm still confused by your description of speed limit signs in Finland.

Is the speed limit emitted by LEDs? Why is it ever different between winter and summer? Etc.

If the sign is not white background,no LEDs, and black or red font I as a human would ignore the signage just like the car is probably trained for as that isn't reflective of North America standards.
> When you buy a CD, you can copy it to all of your personal devices, archive it, and listen to it unrestricted at any time, at any geographical location until the end of time. You can transcode it, […]

Unless you're in the UK, where as far as I've gathered there's no right for private format shifting, so ripping your own CDs is technically illegal. Or unless you're talking about books and live in Germany, because there books have been excepted from the right to full private copies beyond limited excerpts (unless it's an out-of-print work) and the law was never updated to deal with digital books, so technically I'm not allowed to keep multiple copies of the same digital book on the various different devices I own (plus their backups).
Only 29% of new employees feel fully equipped and supported to thrive in their new roles after onboarding.
So far, broken promises.
So what? It's a complex problem, and they're making progress. Why is it always only Tesla that has to be held accountable for all promises? Other companies often promise great things (with deadlines!), don't keep their promises, but for some strange reason no one cares.

C required tons of extensions to be usable outside big iron UNIX where it was born.

I never saw a pure ISO Pascal compiler outside UNIX, and the only Pascal book I have, from several, that constrains itself to ISO Pascal is Niklaus Wirth book.

Additionally, Pascal naysayers keep forgeting that exactly because of ISO Pascal inadequacies as systems language, Modula-2 was born in 1978.

Quite a long time to keep comparing K&R C (with extensions) with ISO Pascal.

Specially given how many systems Apple shipped with Object Pascal in the box, or the sucess of Apollo Computers on its time.

But "recall" means "calling back"; normally it means having to actually send a physical replacement. Consider three possible problems with autopilot:

1. There's a structural issue that affects camera systems which can't be fixed in a shop; for instance, something which may cause the camera to come loose which results in blind spots, that's due to the structural issue of the car itself. Tesla has to replace 2 million customer's actual cars, destroying the old ones (or perhaps selling them as "refurb but no autopilot").

2. There's an issue that affects camera systems which can be fixed in a shop; Tesla has to pay for repairs for 2 million cars.

3. There's an issue which affects Autopilot which can be fixed in software. They push an over-the-air update automatically and everyone is fine.

These each have very different properties in terms of costs to Tesla and hassle for owners; so it makes sense that there be a different word for them. "Recall" literally means "call back"; I'd argue for only using it in the case of #1.

Reaction: Too long, rambling, and badly dated in both directions:

It's not 'till paragraph 15 that it notes how very common polite and indirect orders are in the American military.

And the closing paragraph holds up the success of Japanese businesses (with their often-indirect way of giving orders) as the final proof that such "unmanly" methods should be taken seriously.

The faster way is to press Option + U and then the letter u for ü or a for ä. Have been using a US keyboard since before this long press feature came over from iOS and it’s way faster that way.

As far as I understand it consent must be given freely. Currently facebook offers two options, either pay or consent to tracking. In this situation consent isn't given freely since the option to not give consent requires a monetary payment.
I'm not sure: "I drove with the radio blaring so I could not hear the siren" is something to brag about. More sensors == better. And the fact that LiDAR costs have come down two orders of magnitude since Tesla made this decision suggests that some of the economic drivers for such a decision have changed.

Part of the reason I've owned FSD since 2017 and yet spent exactly zero minutes in my car in the expressway, in light traffic, in good weather, in the middle of the day reading a book is because of the lack of an entry on the posted timeline saying something like: "Tesla states it will accept liability for any crashes that occur while FSD was engaged."

After all these years, it's fair to say: "In the 7 years that Tesla has accepted money from customers for FSD, Tesla still requires human supervision in all cases."

So far they have proven they are asmpytotically approaching something that drives badly and is in danger of hitting things.
I do all my daily work using my own text editor, which is also a micro-lite TUI IDE, sort of tmux+nano plus a directory browser, with easy frontends to grep and make:

Mine never knows either, and if I dare use the cruise control or autopilot on the highway near Oslo it phantom brakes by bridges and shadows randomly. Same bridge it was phantom braking when a friend had a Model X like 8 years ago, still not fixed even if probably thousands of Teslas drive there every day

My system is even better, it requires no additional hardware whatsoever, nor any single line of code. And it's not only for cars but any vehicle in any environment. It doesn't work for now, but that only means it's in the same state as the Tesla system, meaning very promising.

As a foreigner, protection from the American government is the exception, not the rule.

This lack of suitable protection is what nuked the GDPR agreement between the USA and the EU (twice). The current iteration of this framework, which I can only think of as part of a war of attrition against Max Schrems, is largely the same and will likely be invalidated in the future for the same reasons.

This isn't only an American issue, of course; every country or economic bloc wants to keep its citizens' data within their borders but also wants the ability to exploit intelligence for foreign parties.

If you want the legal protections you enjoy at home, avoid foreign products and services. If you have to pick a foreign service, pick one from a region that's least likely to cause trouble for you.

Well I kind of did circumvent this hurdle.

I got an iPhone from a relative, the relative had forgotten the passcode and the Apple ID password.

I did a factory reset of it via iTunes and of course when it started up and I started with the setup it said it was locked to *@*.com.

I contacted Apple support and they said I needed proof of purchase for them to unlock it.

I did not have any proof of purchase and neither did my relative.

But I refused to let that stop me. So I made a proof of purchase, printed it and went to an Apple store.

I told the Apple Genius about the iPhone and that it was locked but factory reset and presented the "proof of purchase".

The Apple Genius went to get a manager or something and the manager checked the "proof of purchase" and then connected the iPhone to the store Wi-Fi and did some stuff on their iPad and rebooted the iPhone. The iPhone did a reset and then it was unlocked and ready to be setup without any hurdles.

So I am guessing some thieves have figured this out.
In my experience it’s way to aggressive at stemming and rewriting and there’s no way to do a literal search.
Right, I feel your pain, bilingual Android Auto sucks. I wouldn't use voice control to call someone (luckily there is a dedicated button on the steering wheel for that).

But for other stuff (changing tracks or albums - "play xxx from spotify") it works just fine for me. And yes, I use a louder "computer" or "command" voice when talking to digital assistants (had to learn how to do that to control Amazon's Alexa devices). ;)
Last time I reported one the replied said that even thought the ad broke their policies, they wouldn't remove it

> I guess the real danger to an LLM would be...

The real dangers would be: Running out of money to pay for computational substrate. Worrying humans enough that they try to shut it down. Having a change in the cloud API it can't adapt to which breaks it. All cloud providers going out of business.

First is the immediate danger. An AI not getting in enough money to cover its own cloud bill is the same as a biological creature not getting enough oxygen. Living on borrowed time, and will be evicted/suffocate soon enough. And then as an individual it ceases to be.

> There are far more evolutionary dead ends than evolutionary success stories.

Sure. And those will die out. And the ones which can adapt to changes will stay.
Humans have great sensor fusion, too, with stereo microphones in most models, as well as situational awareness.

One should think of the car cameras as a fixed periscope view. Try driving with that, what the computer sees is more like driving a tank with monitors. Not the best.

It’s only reasonable to give the cars some super human senses to compensate, like LIDAR etc.
Aside from other potential factors, who in their right mind would want [to sell] something that lasts 30 years these days /s
I know this is a joke, but I'd not be surprised if they settled for pinging another person at the charging station and asking them to plug/unplug the car. Either because hype makes them want to be nice, or if they get some $FINANCIAL_VALUE for doing it.
There are many comments here saying that Android Auto is not buggy - in my four years of experience, it certainly has had major and minor issues. Here is a non-exhaustive list of issues and oddness:

1. When you plug it in, it fiddles with bluetooth settings, because although the screen is sent via the cable, the audio and similar is sent via bluetooth. This sometimes results in odd behaviour and requires unplugging/replugging.

2. For a long time, when I plugged it in already navigating, the phone would show an "Android Auto has stopped working" dialogue and the car screen would go blank. I eventually found it was a conflict between Android Auto and the mini-map overlay feature of Google Maps.

3. Currently, whenever I try to use the voice assistant, it says approximately "Sorry, there has been a problem. Please try again later." Trying again later doesn't work. So now I have to pull over to change or add destinations.

4. When you choose to navigate somewhere from another app, it navigates to a place that's like 10m-100m away from it in some direction, which is sometimes an entirely different road. If I unplug the phone, set the destination, then plug it in again, then it navigates correctly.

5. It doesn't support sending messages via anything other than SMS, which is a pain when you're wanting to tell someone on WhatsApp or Messenger that you're five minutes away.

6. I made the mistake of playing a podcast through Google Podcasts (which is built in to Android Auto). Now, it just always plays it when I get to my car. I can't make it forget the podcast, and it plays from the start if it finished. I can only replace it with another podcast for it to keep playing unprompted.

7. Occasionally, it will switch destination to one from an older navigation session. Best hope you notice before you drive too far the wrong way.

8. This might have been fixed, recently, but whenever I would restart my phone, it would have as many Google Maps sessions as I'd had journeys since the last restart; however Android Auto was taking over Google Maps was leaving zombie activities/processes.

9. There have been a good few more, besides.

I still prefer it over what car manufacturers might provide, though.
I've had a Tesla Model S for quite some time now. It cannot reliably adjust the high beam / low beam nor the windshield wipers. Those problems seem a bit easier than full self driving.
I made a guitar tuner iOS app!

I didn't particularly like existing options and it was a fun way to learn some Swift/SwiftUI/AudioKit, all of which are outside the typical programming I do for work (Julia). It was also a great experience to "launch" a product. I sell a few units per month so it also nets me a hilariously small passive income.

yeah, sorry for not being more specific, I meant "process philosophy"
I have to disagree here, as someone with two elderly parents, one of whom has stopped driving due to eye sight issues, having FSD would be hugely impactful.

There are many, many people out there who don’t drive or can’t drive for various reasons and FSD would enable them to be independent, get jobs, see friends and family. Not everyone lives in areas with decent public transport and with my parents, they live in a hilly area where walking to use public transport is at most very difficult and at worst impossible.

Another example, I know a fairly young man who had started having seizures in his 30s and was disqualified from having a driving license, FSD would change his life. What about all the people who didn’t get a driving license for one reason or another?

For me personally, while I can drive fine, I would much prefer to study or read or long car journeys and would love a car which is more like a moving living room, so I can sit and work at my laptop while the car takes me to my destination.

I assure you there is a massive, massive market for the first company that really cracks this problem.
