Thanks for taking the time to point out the obvious to a newbie.

Now, that's apparent the point of the article isn't so clear. The point looks to revolve around this line:

> Eagle-eyed readers might have noticed that this code has no unsafe. Not even a line.

That statement is not really true, as the return type (*T) implies the method is unsafe.

Oh well, it was an interesting bug hunt story.

Creativity rests on two pillars:

1. Not wasting your energy on irrelevant things, that is temperance. Everyone knows what those things are. It seems obvious that without this inner energy, you can't turn any of the creative ideas into reality. At most you'd be a passive observer of those ideas.

2. Not cluttering your mind with rubbish. This is poetically called the inner peace, and it's often confused with boredom. It's not necessary to retreat into a cabin in the mountains, as the inner peace comes from within. Once that state is reached, you can start seeing reflections of the stars in the sky - the higher ideas that inspire creativity.

Creativity, in essense, is the need to express yourself. It's the reason behind the desire to live or any existence at all. Even savages are driven by this need, they just find different outlets for self expression. It's also what gives such power to the need for pro-creation.

> Tesla's Autopilot and its Autosteer feature could be why Tesla is so crash-prone.

I disagree with this statement. I think the greater issue is that suddenly, you’ve you’ve given every Tesla owner a car that can accelerate to the equivalent of a base Porsche 911 or better. Most people (I include myself) will not responsibly handle this much power.
I don't believe you for a second because you dont need to sniff out if homeless people are sane. You can just see them shooting up in broad daylight. You can just look on the ground and see syringes ontop of the mountain of trash.
Or rather they must, because it was determined that they do.

And I'm sure sometimes, some of them don't look both ways for the same reason.
>All the big, exciting uses for AI are either low-dollar (helping kids cheat on their homework, generating stock art for bottom-feeding publications) or high-stakes and fault-intolerant (self-driving cars, radiology, hiring, etc.).

Wtf is Doctorow talking about here? Because the voice transcription, text-to-speech, optical character recognition, and language translation applications are already changing the world. I'm open to calling it a "bubble," but the sentence above is absurd. Reminds me of the John McCarthy quote "As soon as it works, no one calls it AI anymore"
My buddy hit a construction barrel the other day with his Tesla on FSD Beta. He never once took ownership and kept referring to his accident as "the car hit the barrel".

It doesn't suprise me one bit people get into way more accidents while in a Tesla.

I bet if you split further into Tesla's without any autopilot or FSD what so ever, the stat would return to normal. Or on rental Teslas, which are always speed locked to like 80mph / calm mode and no autopilot or FSD features (at least around me.)
The average Tesla is very new and pretty expensive (incl to repair) so I'm kind of wondering whether Tesla owners are just more likely to report minor accidents they can get covered by insurance.

When I drove an old Mazda I didn't bother reporting anything short of catastrophic damage (obv if I caused an accident for someone else I'd report)... I don't think that's true for someone driving a new Model Y.

Even then, a cursory Google leads to this:

No, you’re missing the mark. If there is to be any kind of theft protection it is going to be a protection of the device from a user, either the proper owner or a thief.

There is no way for the device to make the distinction if the owner does not register himself as the owner and the thief does. Then the thief is the owner and the device will protect itself from the real owner. There is just no way around it. That is a mistake made by the person writing the blog, they admit it and they say Apple should have made it more obvious which is a reasonable request. Not Apple should have not made the protection, that is an unreasonable request.

You might have philosophical problems with this kind of protection, fine, then don’t buy the devices because they have it, they are advertised to have it and you can’t get them without it.

Don’t buy a device that you know doesn’t do what you want and then go whining on the internet that it doesn’t do what you want. That’s a you problem.
I think a lot of this is based on the trends in the industry at the time that no longer necessarily hold true. Once you get past the ways to encode bits and bytes, the stack has been remarkably stable if anything. E.g. PNG is still the most common lossless bitmap image format and there's no risk of support for it being dropped anytime soon - and it's over 25 years old at this point. Similarly, there was a big mess with text encodings, but now Unicode is pervasive and is not going anywhere anytime soon. We also have large archives of information on how to interpret all kinds data in even larger archives (e.g. Wikipedia has lots of details on specific file formats, even fairly obscure ones). I'm actually fairly confident that anything that is actually archived today would remain readable for a very long time to come.

One thing that could possibly be done better, though, is self-describing formats. I don't think it would require that much extra space to basically attach a terse but unambiguous description of how to interpret the data to most if not all binary container formats out there. Something that has minimal encoding, so much so that doing the equivalent of "strings" on the file would be sufficient to see it.
The only way to change this is to affect corporate shareholders, not punish users.

Pushing responsibility onto individual drivers for misusing automated systems is not the answer.

Making it painful enough to progress to the technology closer to infallibility is the way forward.

As always it comes down to the incentives and desired outcomes argument.

We aren’t trying to incentivize good behavior. We are trying to close the distance between technical promise and genuine achievement. You, in general principles, have to build the incentives around negative or positive consequences to manufacturers, not punish technology users for not using the half-ass implementation properly.

Top management is almost always most concerned with an innovation’s likely effect on the bottom line and they are accustomed to receiving market feedback, proposals and regulatory guidance that in turn help them prioritize resources to optimize for a return on investment and payback. We want to leverage that decision system to fix self-driving not engage in punitive end-user punishment because end users can’t do anything to change it.

TLDR; Right instinct, wrong clowns.
It’s an interesting question. I’d think that they’d do better because you have to be a serious car nut to want one even if you’re rich whereas it’s not that hard for an irresponsible teenager to get a more normal car. I’d love to test that guess against hard data, however.

As someone who is nearing 2,000 days of two stints of homelessness since 2017, I can offer feedback that such an amount would help to alleviate basic survival pressures.

But, money will not solve any root cause issues. I've been unhoused and out of work for so long that any recovery back to a normal life has become exceedingly unlikely. I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, nor do I do illicit drugs nor prescriptions. My mental state -- stressed in survival mode -- is very much situational, yet there are underlying factors that have led to a state of permanent dysfunction and reluctance to rebuild.

In addition to food stamps, I've survived on help from lifelong/long term friends and strangers (incl'g from kind souls on hn, on a few occasions, even). One kind stranger at the local coffee shop even tried gifting me
a new MBP/M2/24GB/1TB a few months ago, but my focus is gone and I was unhoused, still being criminally targeted, so I returned the laptop in like new condition to him a week later. (The side reports regarding systemic/criminal abuse against at-risk folks is a separate but related matter.)

These initiatives matter, of course. I'd gladly make use of such money. But, IMO, more important is to focus on root causes at the relevant time -- i.e. in public school settings when unchecked peer abuse occurs, as one example. Such abuse can grow into an irreparable state of dysfunction and life breakdown.

I am happy for Las Angeles to perform a widespread trial of this kind of initiative. Attract people to Southern California that might be homeless elsewhere, help them get on their feet via $750/person/month, then they will get off the subsidy and contribute back to the community!

If it works I will encourage a similar system in my hometown. If it does not work then I'm glad we did a trial run first.

Note: I'm paywalled from reading the article, how many people did they give the money to and how long was it?
If nothing else, it has forced decidedly profitable taxi companies to create viable apps.
So do I, but that's more of the reason to keep things robust, no?

In my work projects, I can use the dangerous code like this - because we have compilers and libraries frozen, unit and integration tests, a complex testing process. We can do all the right efforts to ensure the things work, even if solution is intrinsically unreliable.

In my personal projects I write some stuff and start using it, the testing is minimal, and toolchain versions is "whatever platformio decided to pull up today". I'd hate for my project to break just because I rebuilt it to add the new feature and meanwhile my compiler got upgraded. So I'd definitely abuse SPI port or something to get things reliable.
> Not sure why you're being down voted

Probably because it was a legitimate question out of curiosity with a couple sub-questions, and "why not" is a dismissal rather than an answer.
the fact that the problem is resolvable OTA is a feature of Tesla, a positive. Another make with the same issue might require a visit to the dealership. The problem is the same. Debating semantics beyond that is without merit.
I see both sides, a recall is usually a very expensive process of each car returning to a particular car service business and having manual actions performed on it by a mechanic. That might include software updates, plugging in a tool to push an update; but by direct local connection.

OTA updates feel different, particularly when the vehicle isn't physically _recalled_ to a manufacturer controlled service space.

I'm not that familiar with the recall, would NHTSA have demanded it if it were all Tesla cars being physically recalled? (potentially resulting in the end of Tesla?)
There are obviously other factors at play, but the correlation with screentime is pretty stark.

The apps kids are using on phones have the mechanics of slot machines. There is no way that this is good for them.

It was basically this - and to be clear this is not a shortcoming of QML. As you said, splitting the logic layer from the UI is a good idea - but the choice for us to be building apps in QML without a logic layer under it required a lot of weird solutions that could've been easily addressed if we'd been doing C++ and Qt. But our team were Javascript developers, the team we were partnering with were Qt devs, and someone had negotiated this solution and we did the work.
Then outlaw the system. The entire point of the tech is to make it so I don't HAVE to drive. If I still have to have my hands on the wheel, I still need to be paying so close attention that I can take over in the half a second I get to react, then I'm not actually having anything automated. I'm still driving the car.

Either we have to accept these systems, or we need to ban them, but this goofy waffling where we just cripple them to be useless makes no sense to me.
Money is good, researchers determine.
In rural areas you see less traffic. Though tesla's ship with power modes that far exceed the traffic limits in most places so speed may be a contributing factor. Especially in the urban setting.

I'm also wondering when the regulation to limit tops speeds in electric cars will occur. It seems inevitable that with the computers onboard the ability to limit speeds based on location data, ie what road you're on, will be here sooner rather than later.
Same. I've had a lot of game design ideas while driving on the road.

Doesn't work for me if I have music with lyrics on, though. Sometimes podcasts work, because something they say might spark an idea, but songs with lyrics don't work at all.
Doing this by brand seems to skew the numbers towards brands with model lineups that attract certain types of buyers, and their inherent behaviors, rather than on the merits of the vehicle.

For example, the bottom of the list is not filled with brands with a lot of safety features, it is filled with brands that predominantly don't (/didn't) target riskier groups of drivers. People who buy boring vehicles drive differently than people who buy powerful and exciting vehicles. There is self-selection at play here.
For me, I initially declined for the same reasons I wait for the first or second point release on new major versions of an OS. Don’t want to deal with the early adopter problems.

Then, by the time it looked like it was proven safe, it didn’t look very effective (in terms of possible benefit to my demographic)
The medical establishment will fail you every step of the way if you put faith in it. If you use it as a tool to inform your judgment, take any form of body modification very seriously you can utilize it. If you just trust and listen it will always fail you. From thalidomide to ritalin to this, the truth is that it's not much different from alchemy or blood letting, it's a little more advanced but nowhere near as much as we think. We think of medical science as some infallible science and our time as some future where we know the answers now and we have almost figured it all out, that is not true. Inform your judgment, take things seriously and medicine can be useful to you.

That machine costs around US$2.5k/month. It gets expensive very quickly.

In the early days of the cloud, part of the markup was justified because you wouldn't have to do maintenance, sell old to buy new, etc. At these rates though, I fail to see the appeal - at least from the point of view of cost per compute power.
> taking money by force from productive hardworking people and giving it to mentally ill drug addicts

Taxing is not immoral, and it's not just given to mentally ill drug addicts. That's a bad and wrong frame. You almost make it sound like you would cheer when it is given to the mentally ill non-users, or to mentally healthy addicts.

But that's not really your point, is it? Just say: "I don't want to pay taxes." The implication of course is: you don't care about the state, and the help it offers others. Usually that principle lasts until you get in trouble, or can do a profit from government funds.
Is there a feature that lets you disable replies to your comment? I find it hilarious that the person arguing that their egregiously dehumanizing stereotypes of the homeless are simply objective reality rather than biased and that I must be lying has done so if so
I've never liked the conflating of target size and test time constraints.

I very much agree that there's benefit to considering the pace of feedback and where it falls in your workflow; immediate feedback is hugely valuable, but it can come from unit tests, other tests, or things which are not tests.

Meanwhile, some tests of a single unit might have to take a long time. Exhaustive tests are rarely applicable, but when they are it's going to be for something small and it's likely to be slow to run. That should not be in your tightest loop, but it is probably clearer to evict it simply because it is slow, rather than because it is not a unit test for being slow.
It's interesting how the definition of "R&D" varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In the US it seems to now include all software development! Here in the UK it's the total opposite where something has to be considered to be innovative in relation to other companies and work that attempts to resolve scientific uncertainty to advance the state of the art.
But they made an electric car. That did revolutionise the industry.

There is a bunch of non-auto pilot innovations they’ve made as well.

I'm very much in favor of UBI. Replacing literally "every government assistance program" has me worried though. I think for most folks this will work well. I do wonder about people with special needs though for whom that won't be sufficient. Might it be physical or mental disabilities, it can get more expensive quickly.
There's really no evidence public schools are a better learning environment than homeschooling, in fact there's evidence to the contrary.

Even when you include the extreme fringes of homeschooled children such as religious fundamentalists and unschooling, homeschooled students perform better on average.

This is probably because many-to-one learning is MUCH less effective than one-to-one learning, even with a massive difference in skill. Individualized learning is far better. Schools are the opposite of individualized.
I think a lot about those videos where someone gets their first mustang and absolutely RIP out of the parking lot, only to total the car 50 yards down the road, and imagine if every toyota camry out there had that kind of power.

I may be wrong - please let me know: It's my understanding as a worker in the US that there is no restriction on employers from hiring junior-experienced employees.

My two bits: Age discrimination feels rampant to me, where I see Old being equated with Bad. I see this on a bi-weekly basis from my industry-following news-consuming habit, reading comments from "young" people in the tech industry.

This is why free speech is so important. Most platforms now ban speech that doesn't match their politics, but thankfully X / Twitter does allow free speech. Support it and use that tool.
I had a bout or two of homelessness when I was younger.

A $750 windfall (or equiv at the time period) would have definitely been a huge help at getting past those initial hurdles.

Like with the old adage of the $20 boots that last a year vs the $150 boots that last a life time, yet you have a person with only $30 of disposable income at any one time. Poor guy's spent $600 on boots.

From the article it seems to me, to be a backup solution only. Kinda a replacement for tape, with the difference that it is faster writing. What got my attention:

> The images are then sent to be processed and decoded, which leans on machine learning model to convert analog signals to digital data.

Looking at the paper [1] (section 3.2.):

> Machine learning models are able to better learn and account for any noise properties inherent in the end-to-end write and read processes including: inter-symbol interference between adjacent voxels in the glass, scattered light from neighbouring layers during readout, variability between optical components, and more. By contrast, traditional signal processing techinques require extensive understanding of all these characteristics and careful (often hand-crafted) processing to remove their effects.

It feels weird to me, that they target "sensitive industries including finance, scientific research and healthcare", but decoding/reading the data is not really deterministic.
