What’s lacking is the collective willpower to develop social organizations, which could orchestrate and fund such efforts. There’s a complete lack of organization among the public.

The problem is neither technical nor legislative: people just don’t care to, and are happier accepting the status quo.

Loving bluesky so far, thanks for making it. Honestly it's the best competitor to Twitter I have seen so far, and after looking at the company / job listings and seeing how incredibly focused you are on the UI/UX aspects.. it seems an incredibly compelling product vision / company. Kudos.

As an aside, do you have any plans to make your choices of domain names / branding less confusing / sketchy looking? (bsky.app, blueskyweb.xyz, bsky.social for user names, 'Bluesky Social' on the app store, etc)
For me the 'aha' moment was the microcode section of the 8-bit computer project. Just the physical understanding of how it can take a different number of clock cycles to execute an 'instruction' - and how (in this architecture) every instruction cycle has to start with the memory address switching to the current program counter, and the data from that address being loaded into a register.

I haven't gone as far as actually building a breadboard CPU, but I was able to apply what Ben teaches to build several functional microprocessors in https://www.falstad.com/circuit/circuitjs.html, starting with basically reimplementing the breadboard model he built out.. but then after watching the 6502 series, going back and being able to see and even implement some of the things that implies about the internals of a 6502 processor.

You can be confused by why people are interested in the outputs, or you can think that the explanation is adequate. You can't do both at once.

Here, in fact, the explanation is not adequate. Let's analyze:

> Welcome Groq® Prompster! Are you ready to experience the world's fastest Large Language Model (LLM)?

"The world's fastest LLM? They must have made an LLM, I guess"

> We'd suggest asking about a piece of history, requesting a recipe for the holiday season, or copy and pasting in some text to be translated; "Make it French."

"Instructions, ok".

> This alpha demo lets you experience ultra-low latency performance using the foundational LLM, Llama 2, 70B created by Meta AI - running on Groq.

"So it's not their own LLM? It's just LLaMa? What's interesting about that? And what's Groq, the thing this is 'running on'? The website? I kind of guessed that, by virtue of being here."

> Like any AI demo, accuracy, correctness, or appropriateness cannot be guaranteed.

"Ok, sure".

Nowhere does it say "we've built new, very fast processing hardware for LLMs. Here's a demo a bog-standard LLM, LLaMa 70B, running on our hardware. Notice how fast it is".
This is surprisingly common. The other example off the top of my head, a single maintainer of a very popular project who had to temporarily abandon it due to lack of funds, is Denis Pushkarev (zloirock) and core.js (https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02...).

The majority of OSS projects have most of their contributions by one person (the project leader), and the vast majority of OSS contributors don't do it for their job. It seems nearly every single popular OSS project is like this (one unpaid, maybe sponsored, volunteer doing most of the work); it's not even worth listing projects and names, because you can just pick a couple projects you know and I bet at least one will be an example.

Fortunately, most of these people seem to be well-off (probably in part due to the quality of programming jobs), but every once in a while there's someone who's not so fortunate. It should be more common to sponsor maintainers, especially if they are asking for donations and offer proof that they genuinely need the money. (The world we live in, some people who have plenty fake issues to solicit donations, then others who genuinely need and deserve the money are scolded and left unfunded because of them. So I think it's fine to ask for donations, but be prepared to justify why you need them.)

Yeah, that's right. The production network's data layer (Personal Data Servers) are architecturally federated now (i.e. there are multiple PDS hosts) but still operated by a single organization (Bluesky Social, PBC), so it's still centralized.

The goal in early 2024 is to enable federation with other PDS hosts, so that users can choose where they keep their data (posts, likes, preferences, etc).

> we don’t have the information.

Sure we do. Here it is: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-mu...

To quote the Reuters report:

> The suspension collapse in Jain’s car fortunately occurred at low speed. It was nonetheless shocking in a car he had owned for less than 24 hours. The automaker told him the suspension collapse was caused by the separation of a lower control arm from the steering knuckle, which connects to the wheel assembly. Jain expected Tesla to cover the damage.

A Tesla Service representative had texted Jain that an initial inspection found “no evidence of any external damage” that caused the incident and implied Tesla would pay for the repairs, according to a copy of the text Jain provided to Reuters.

About a week later, Tesla sent Jain a letter denying responsibility, saying it had inspected the vehicle and determined that the cause was “a prior external influenced damage to the front-right suspension.”

Jain said he was the only driver of the car during the one day he owned it and hadn’t had an accident before the suspension failure. “I was like, ‘Bloody hell, how can metal just snap like that when I know for sure the car has not hit anything?’” he said.

The repair took about three months. Jain paid a deductible of about $1,250 to have the work covered by his insurance company, which after the claim hiked his rates sharply on another car he owned, he said.

Fed up with the ordeal, Jain sold the repaired Tesla – for about $10,000 less than the $55,000 he paid for it.

It is unclear to me that it’s more expensive to assemble the kit on site than in a factory.

Yes, weather is an issue. However, the “factory floor” is effectively infinite size.

If robots were assembling the houses and doing the finish work then they’d have a better argument. With the Sears approach, you can still have robots do most of the cutting and part of the fabrication.

I have a model 3 with 300 miles of range and the ability to recharge in 30 minutes on a long trip. It’s enough.

But I got that vehicle for about $40k and it basically pays for itself in gas savings.

On the flip side, a used Lightning that has 10k miles on it and a 200 mile range without a fast recharge option was available for $80k at a local dealer. I test drove it. It was great.

The range and charge limitations make it only viable as a second vehicle.

As an owner of a 2020 Model 3 in Germany I can say:

The build quality is shockingly bad, and the quality assurance basically non-existing. When I picked up the car, the doors weren't aligned properly and would not close. I had to point this out for them to correct it.

Everything that you take for granted with all car manufactures to work in a middle-class sedan does not work. They did not put in a $3 Bosch rain sensor, so not even the camera-based automatic wipers work correctly. Everything that worked in my 15 years old Chrysler 300C does not work.

It's insane that any of their Autopilot related features are legal. The system is detecting 100% of trash bins next to the road, but maximum 50% of kids crossing the road. If you don't manually disable the various driver assistance systems every time you enter the car, the "emergency lane assist" stuff will happily drive you into opposing traffic for no reasons and will do dangerous phantom emergency braking etc.

Whatever traditional car feature you are looking at - compared to the 15 years old Chrysler everything is worse. Wind noise. Audio system. Comfortable seats.

All the "But it works in my Tesla" fan boys are part of a religious cult and are simply lying. Whenever I checked, the "works for me" replies stopped when I either did a test drive together or asked for a video showing that things like wipers and assistance systems really work.

So, why did I buy this car then and did not return it?

- Their battery technology is mature. When you try to buy a EV from an "established" car manufacturers most of them still don't have a heat pump and battery temperature conditioning.

- You can BUY them. While Germany's big pride, Volkswagen, are announcing to maybe have a competitive EV in 2026, and other manufacturers have waiting lists of 6 months and up, when I wanted to buy the Model 3 I ordered it and was able to pick it up one week later. Actually being able to BUY a real car instead of vaporware is a killer feature.

- All of the nerd humor, Easter eggs etc. It's refreshing to see that they fail on getting basic car software features to work, but that at least they are having fun implementing wacky fun stuff.

Obviously due to Elon Musk meanwhile having turned into a conspiracy-spewing crazy fascist, I would not buy a Tesla car again. But if I'd want to buy a EV in Germany today with proper battery technology and acceptable delivery times, I still would not have any other choice. I would have to buy something far inferior at a higher price "just" for political reasons.

Again, missed the point. We shouldn't make strong claims about self-curated data when there's an incentive to make that data look safer than it actually was.

We know they aren't fully transparent. We also know that other well-known and well-funded AV developers have very bad practices that are highlighted when they are forced by regulators to be transparent. While that isn't a smoking gun against Waymo, it should give us pause and make one question a naive perspective in favor of a skeptical one.
On the upside, atproto "instances" (we often call them "personal data servers") have much less responsibility than the typical Mastodon instance. So folks should find them quite cheap and easy to run. One reason is that they don't need to directly support application features such as timeline construction, search, image optimization, etc: they just host your social data.

We have 10 servers federating in production, each housing around 270,000 users, and it all runs on disk and sqlite, quite affordable! We migrated 2 million users off a single large host onto these 10 smaller ones transparently and without need for much fanfare. We're dedicated to the tech and seeing it work in production has been super heartening.
I have an acquaintance who is convinced that Google ads stalk him because the ads make inferences yet shouldn't be able to, like offering flight prices from one city to another he frequents when he's never done that search in Google before.

I've tried to explain to him that people aren't actually very unique in large models, and there's probably several signals Google does have from his other searches to conclude he's interested in those two cities.
Meanwhile, my blog got some of its posts de-indexed in the latest Google update, despite trying to write high quality content.

> because the audio outputs of all sorts of devices today simply are trash

As a staunch objectivist audiophile, I empathise with this view. But there's also too much of an obsession with achieving levels of dynamic range precision far in excess of the best audio recordings. Not to mention far in excess of the best human ears — let alone the typical ears of an audiophile with time and cash to burn. Perhaps most damning of all, being far, far, far, far far in excess of the noise floor of most people's listening environments.

So long as your DAC/amp gives you a solid 100 dB of dynamic range, it's time to put down your wallet and enjoy the content.

Website Raven – A free website hosting service comparable to wordpress.com
I build a new website hosting service called Website Raven, and would love some feedback. I often have clients for my website design company that need just a very basic web page, so that they have some kind of web presence. Rather than running an entire Wordpress for them, which takes 5-10 minutes to setup even if using an existing Multisite installation, I decided to make the process of building a simple HTML/CSS/JS website really easy by creating my own webhost.

The backend is entirely custom and written in Rust. It's pretty experimental right now, but I'd love any thoughts and feedback.
You quoted the part I was referring to:

> [Tesla said] it had inspected the vehicle and determined that the cause was “a prior external influenced damage to the front-right suspension.”

And then Jain ended up paying the bill. That is a critically important data point which _suggests that he had reason to believe_ his actions caused the damage. I repeat: Whether the owner’s actions actually did exceed a reasonable expectation of durability isn’t something we can speculate on here because we don’t have the information.

It's possible that Jain didn't damage the car. But it's also possible that he did, and this damage was immediately apparent the moment that a technician lifted the car for a proper inspection. We don't know anything about the initial inspection which led to the interim diagnosis of manufacturing defect. It might have been a guess by someone who didn't even lay eyes on the car.

The point is — We. Don't. Know.
Ignoring the no true Scotsman-ism of your post, what's odd is that you are telling someone who actually wrote it what was intended. You've made it completely clear you misunderstood it. I've pointed out exactly where you made the mistake. Yet you can't seem to bring yourself to admit that just maybe your biases made you infer more than what was actually said. The "explicitly mentioned aspect" is the unpredictable behavior. You can tell that, not just from the wording, but from the fact that has been the consistent throughline of the entire sub-thread. And not to beat a dead horse, my secondary point has consistently been that we should not put too much emphasis on self-curated data when there is a bad incentive to embellish it. Yet here you are.
Thank you! And yeah, the goal is to bring an open social media protocol to everyone in a way that feels familiar and easy. The social media problems we face are societal and most of society is non-technical.

This is an interesting competitive moat. Apple is recognizing that there is a legal gray zone, and this could be seen as a direct move against those who are not licensing content for training. If you create a marketplace and contractual structures for licensing, it makes it harder for others to get away with it for free without publishers putting up more of a fight.
Does YouTube generate video URLs completely randomly though? I'd be surprised if that was actually the case.
That was my comment. Removed?
Maybe that's true for some people. I can only answer for myself. When we bought our Model Y back in mid 2021, I test drove basically all the competitors: iPace, Mach E, the Volvo XC something Recharge, etc. The MY had practically double the cargo space of any of those, with the same size footprint. It had more acceleration than any of the others (which doesn't really matter, but is fun) even in the long range version. And it was the only one that had a 7-seat config, which is extremely handy for occasionally transporting kids' friends. I actually didn't want to buy a Tesla because even then Elon was off-putting (though not nearly like now), but it was just clearly the best option available at the time. (Supercharging also played a role there.)
>because gas ranges are not default unsafe.

They are in fact unsafe by default in basically every metric. In a brand new one spews toxic byproducts into your home, which for most people lacks the ventilation to remove it.

It also comes with the fun side effect of blowing up dozens of houses per year, being environmentally wasteful, and being inferior to induction for cooking.

I'm pretty sure a couple decades of effectively legalized oxycodone and hydrocodone use shows this view is not correct.
I'm not convinced that auto complete would add much value to clinical workflows. Clinicians typically don't enter the codes themselves. In order to write those unstructured narrative blocks they might type them in manually, fill in the blanks on a template, or dictate. But in any case the clinician typically isn't entering billing or clinical codes. Usually certified medical coders add codes afterwards using specialized interfaces, often with some kind of NLP assistance.
