You mean laws that forbid pedestrians from crossing roads? It’s just a matter of where you put your priorities. Here we prioritize our bike based transportation. Drivers just have to be careful, also insurance is obligatory so drivers don’t really feel it financially. They just pay collectively for all the other traffic participants they hit.

We have a very different system, nobody goes bankrupt from causing an accident or from healthcare related costs.
Discover's service is limited to only a few sites (which is why it's free). And it is not transparent about progress of removals or requirements.

That might not be the most effective way to reduce spam or reduce targeted attacks, because it ignores many hard to remove exposures.

We have a similar price point at Kanary (I'm the founder) and it covers the resources we invest in the cat & mouse game required to escalate and complete removals on a wide variety of sites, not just a handful of easy ones.

The killer app for democracy is not efficient governance, it is peaceful transfer of power.

With any sort of autocracy, no matter how honest or just "efficient" the autocrat is, inevitably you end up with an autocrat who is far worse than least functional democracy. Autocrats make history by making lots of corpses. History makes this absolutely clear.

Unreal is just an engine just like Valve’s source engine. It’s a tool for developers and it’s not a destination for consumers. I’m right in pointing out that you guys are confusing a game engine for a video game platform. They are two very different things, and I’m not being “overly pedantic”.

While I was never prominent or award-winning there, I used to contribute a lot of answers. I always hated the “Real name policy” though, because it meant you had to carefully censor yourself. You could only say things you’d be unconcerned to have printed and stapled to your resume for every job interview you ever went to.

But after having posted a lot of content in spite of that, something made me so irritated with the site and the community that I literally deleted each thing I had ever posted and walked away. What you describe is even more lame though, for sure.

It's not enough, because at least for me and a few others (e.g. the neighboring comment "If the footage is not released to the public I'm going to assume it makes Waymo look bad.") being able to judge the event personally can establish much more trust than anything they do with the regulators, because we also don't necessarily fully trust the regulators and their political motivation, and want to see if we would agree with the regulators for such major cases.
Fascinating article on his website (there are many!) about a WSJ reporter playing a fool during an interview with him:

You’re crazy. The iPhone 1 was amazing on day one—even with all its limitations: no 3G, no App Store and no copy paste.

BlackBerry and Windows Mobile looked like horse drawn carriages comparatively. The writing was on the wall.

The limiting factor for sales, IIRC, was the $500 price tag. That was fixed the next year.
That's super interesting, can you by any chance point to a paper or article with benchmarking results?
I used to yield at stop signs early on while cycling, but after I was hit by a car who ran a stop sign, I switched to coming to a complete stop at every stop sign, ensuring no cars were about to run their stop signs, then going. Self preservation is more important than maintaining a little bit of momentum.

A fun bonus for this method is it seems to annoy the cars behind you even more when you actually come to complete stops, even though all drivers complain that cyclists don’t stop at stop signs.

> Google is... what? An advertising network? A vendor of office apps for businesses? An ISP? A grocery delivery company (they did that for a good while)? A social network? Oh, and that gaming thing with Stadia?

There is a clear identity - Google is about hoarding all of the available data (originally web) and making money off of it any way you can. By definition it has to be huge and get their hands into as many pies as humanly possible and then cut away stuff that doesn’t work. So i would say they are being perfectly consistent whether their employees appreciate it or not.
I believe that's how the US superfund was supposed to work (tax miners now so we can use that money to fix the damage they did if they won't) but this is no longer the case.

> They haven't started enforcing it because you can only issue warnings if people park close to the crosswalk until next year - specifically because most drivers don't know about the law.

OK, I see that now:

(4) Prior to January 1, 2025, jurisdictions may only issue a warning, and shall not issue a citation, for a violation unless the violation occurs in an area marked using paint or a sign.

But honestly I often see cars stopped (waiting, not parked) in red zones and have never seen them get a ticket or even asked to move on.

> And the law actually states that local authorities can come up with their own distance rules instead.

I didn't know this!

(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a local authority may establish a different distance if both of the following requirements are met:
(i) A local authority establishes the different distance by ordinance that includes a finding that the different distance is justified by established traffic safety standards.
(ii) A local authority has marked the different distance at the intersection using paint or a sign.

I wonder whether (n)(1)(B)(i) is, in practice, a high bar.
> championed by the Hong Kong government

There was a significant divide within LegCo (local parliment). So no, it was not "championed". For other readers: The head of state (CEO) is hand selected by CCP. (Yes, I know about the elitist voting system to select a CEO, but the choice needs to be pre-approved by CCP.) Saying the person who was pre-selected by CCP is "championing" a proposed law by CCP isn't saying much. That was her job.
Wow that is cool to see!

You seem to be dealing in absolutes here.

We are talking about specifically work-related scenarios, that usually have pretty straightforward boundaries and surface-level interactions. "All else being equal, a person who enjoyed an idyllic childhood is typically going to be a more well-adjusted adult" - not necessarily in this specific context, people that didn't experience trauma are not immune to being awkward, immature, neurotic, anxious and various other things that makes working with them difficult.

That is not to say that people who have experienced childhood abuse can't have issues with basic human functioning. The point is, neither are necessarily are better or worse to work with just based on their trauma or lack of thereof.

It is irrelevant that people with normal childhoods are statistically more likely to be well-adjusted in most aspects of their lives, because we are only considering workplace interactions.
I wonder if another aspect of the external battery is that it presumably heats up, and so attaching that as a counterbalance on the headstrap would get uncomfortable?
There was a plan, to use giant cylinders of landscape as hydraulic batteries.

The problem was the cost of excavation or building the cylinder. Then this came along, not even promoted as the future..

https://www.newcivilengineer.com/the-future-of/future-of-tun...

And it's ideal.as in they could turn testsites into batteries.

You could have such a battery in an any abandoned quary today. Chip the walls smoth, freeze an ice plug, pump water beneath and use the stored pressure.
Why wouldn't it help? I think entirely the opposite, if they believe that SF city government has political reasons to misinterpret the evidence, then putting the evidence to the general public can act as a check to the SF government, preventing them from any shenanigans asserting that the video shows something other than most members of the public saw there.
We can compare this statistically by looking at accidents per 1,000,000 miles driven of autonomous cars vs humans. Over long mileage, the rate of prevented accidents shows up in the data as a lower overall accident rate.

I don't have the stats at hand but Waymo does great on this stat.

Now, that's not to say that Waymo would avoid any specific accident better than a human. But from a public health standpoint, that's not really the right way to think about it anyways.
I'd like to see a video. If a car is turning, it would presumably be travelling slowly, and wouldn't be trying to cut right behind a passing truck when there's no visibility.

Yeah a terrorist attack like the Maine in 1898 (or twin towers in 2001) can turn Americans into hawks. They’d accept whatever in order to revenge an attack against a vessel.

At least last I looked it was like that.
> Next you will be telling me that changing lanes without signaling or looking, swerving through traffic, ignoring stop signs on bike paths, riding while looking at one's phone, riding the wrong way, riding without a helmet, or at night without lights (all of which I observe all the time from cyclists) are evolved safety behaviors.

You've just described the average cyclist in Amsterdam. They'll do all of that at the same time with a passenger sitting on the rear baggage carrier.

Yet the Netherlands has one of the lowest mortality rates per mile cycled and the US has one of the highest. Despite the US having very strict full stop laws for cyclists.
Sure Jobs was a legend but I don't think Tim Cook is doing a bad job at all - under whose leadership Apple came up with Airpods which quickly became a cultural icon, and the M series Apple Silicon.
You don't. At least not for an install these days. Their data point must have been from a few years earlier.

My experience having installed one a couple of months ago is that the installer charged around 1.5k AUD just for the installation(by my calculation using retail prices) for a back to back "simple" install for the same brand and size mentioned. This is in Melbourne, Australia.

I did get multiple quotes that were the same and this was before peak summer season. The ones that were lower were either not licensed or wanted to do it for cash - meaning they wouldn't declare and pay taxes on it so the customer gets it for cheaper. It also means they won't give you an invoice and good luck claiming damages without evidence.

They blame the high cost of living but knowing some insiders, the margins are huge.
Thanks, this definitely adds some context. Seems all these acquisitions is costly work.
May I ask why you linked to your parents comment as a source? Just seems.. odd
This is my pet peeve with people being so sure online about their abilities of avoiding things on the road. Yeah, maybe you could avoid it with your super human reflexes, but there physically no way you could check that side of your car, register what's there, decide whether you can move that way and then did it. The kneejerk avoidance reaction may be extremely dangerous on its own.

(Also in Oz, rolling your car when you try to swerve to avoid a kangaroo is so common that you're normally taught to just break instead)
There was at least one database from the mid 80s with abysmal performance and deadlocks too. But plenty of modern databases are fast and correct. The fact this one startup 40 years ago didn’t solve the problem doesn’t say a lot about whether I’ll be able to. Honestly the fact there are some dead bodies on the mountain makes it more fun to give it a go and see how I do.

To be frank, judging by the code I’ve seen over the years, most engineers don’t have a lot of experience or skill at making software run fast.
I implemented something similar at work for a phone handling system. We had a "workflow" system that let clients script how calls should be handled. All side effects that the script was allowed to make happened through an API with functionality like reading DTMF input, playing media, adding another call leg etc.

Like the article says, we would record a log of all the interactions with the outside world. The lower level parts of the system had the capability of transferring an in-progress call from one server to another. SIP and RTP traffic would be moved to another server, and finally the workflow log was sent. The server that took over the call would then replay the script and arrive at the same execution state that the first server had before the call was moved. Workflow authors didn't have to care about any of this. To them it looked like the call started and ended on the same server.

I've almost been killed before as a cyclist, a semi with two trailers did not check his mirrors before merging into me while speeding. Being this close to death was honestly traumatizing. I think it about it way too often. What would have happened to my kids, would I have been killed instantly and so on. I only accepted this event because the road is inherently dangerous.

People get hit by cars all of the time, and are usually not reported on unless there is a fatality. The cyclist in this case wasn't severely injured, why does it need to be reported? Is it clickbait? Or does SFG want to stir up fears around self driving cars like they are cyclist murder machines?

Regardless, I feel like this is not very interesting news until its clear that Waymo or who else has a overall worse track record than the average human. Going back to my near accident, I am excited for self driving cars because they have the potential to be better than humans in the future.
Heh this opening about the Super Bowl being the second most watched broadcast of all time. So US-centric. The UEFA Champions League Final(s) laugh in your general direction.

Any 3rd party service or individual doing opt outs should limit data sharing as much as possible. Steps to do that include setting up email aliases, searching data in separate queries, using a proxy or VPN, verifying data exists before sending a data deletion request with all your pii in it, pushing back on any invasive requirement for govt ID...

It's tempting to just automate sending a mass email to all the brokers with your full name, DOB, and address asking for deletion (some services actually do this - beware), but that exposes you to a bunch of new spam.

> .. durable execution, and is so new that most developers never have heard of it.

It's called checkpoint/restart, and was a feature of some early operating systems. Mostly for programs whose run time exceeded the mean time before failure of the system.

Tandem's whole system concept was built around that.

Amusingly, Second Life, of all things, has durable execution of the little LSL programs that make in-world objects go. They're checkpointed every minute or two, and if a region crashes, they are restarted, stack, heap, and all. They survive machine crashes and ports to new hardware. Even migration from a dedicated data center to AWS. Some have been running for well over a decade. Internally, they are Mono programs.
I'm not sure what you're referring to by "that", so I can't help immediately — but if you explicate what you're looking for in a philosophy of life (and it has any overlap with my interests), I might be able to point you to something more interesting.
For example, `response` can't ever be null (even though it would be totally expected to if the request borks) due to the fact that under the hood, you're dealing with a promise (probably the most boneheaded implementation of asynchronous programming). async/await tries to put lipstick (syntactic sugar) on a pig (promises), and the fetch API, among many others, suffers for it.
Regardless of your observed relative sympathy towards China versus UK/US, how do you explain the multi-year protests against the proposed security law? Maybe the sympathy isn't so strong after all. Mostly, people didn't want to lose their freedom. They could clearly see the security law was the "beginning of the end" for their democratic freedoms, include free speech, right to protest, and voting for their choice of leaders (excluding CEO).
Very strange to base your views on the hidden internals about a thing rather than the experience of interacting with it.

Good Luck!
Well, oracle is kind of a beast. If all you need is data storage and maybe an index for fast lookup within 10G of data, sqlite will probably do the trick. It is a library, not a server process so you compile it into your app and there is very little ops work to do. As a benefit, you can do many data access patterns that are closer to what you’d do if you wrote the data access code by hand (no network latency etc)
The issue that people have is you stated that you'd compare time from detection to action.

What most people want to compare is time from when the bicyclist could have reasonably been detected to action. This requires looking at the video frames to decide when we think a human would have figured it out.

Of course; that's why our ancestors first built walls around granaries.
Maybe the accident could have been avoided completely if the Waymo car drove more defensively? The article doesn't mention how fast it was travelling before it applied the brakes, but maybe it would be better to drive extra slowly while it can't "see" to the left because of a truck when driving through an intersection? Or not proceed into the intersection at all before it has a clear field of view?

Of course there is also a balance between safety and practicality here. Above a certain level of traffic congestion, I assume even Waymo cars have to be a bit "assertive", otherwise they would wait for hours at a stop sign...

The Dos and Don'ts of Production Grade GenAI Software
Just dropped a new blog post where we share insights gained while building LLM/GenAI software with our partners.

One key takeaway? A lot of folks who aren't too tech-savvy think building a GenAI app is just about taking a foundational model and slapping on a UI. Spoiler: it's way more complicated than that.

We also dive into how you can really mess up your app by letting the foundational model auto-update or not load-balancing across multiple Azure OpenAI instances.
