I've been fairly impressed at Waymo's defensive driving skills, down to it being able to tell when someone turns around towards the road with an eye to cross, & the car slowing-down/giving a wider berth.

We will need to wait and see (i.e. footage) for more facts on this one, but I would caution thinking that Waymo's don't have object permanence capabilities.

(Usual disclaimer around 1st-hand experience etc etc)
I've done some mostly trivial FORTH development [^0] and love it! That being said... there's absolutely zero guard rails. You'll find just as many, if not more segfaults as you would in C and there's no concepts of types really.

GForth is pretty good, the docs and tutorial are a great way to get started and the implementation is still actively developed.

I'm old enough that I thought this was related to the old mainframe/UNIX company from the 90s!
There’s rules as written and then rules as followed — I’d much prefer a system that recognizes the rules that people tend to follow/bend/break — as a cyclist I too will often “convoy” with a bigger vehicle as it provides some additional protection most of the time (though obviously not here)
The code I write these days is cleaner and more readable than anything I did back in the jQuery days. The only thing I add (for bigger projects) is Typescript.

With jQuery it feels like a lot of functionality is hidden away, which can lead to unexpected situations that are harder to debug.

In my experience writing vanilla code takes less time, not more, because I have a better grip on what is happening.

The dystopia in the film version of Ready Player One clearly borrows from this.
I'll summarize the article:

Ashli Babbit, the Trump supporter shot by Capitol police.

Kevin Greeson, the Trump supporter that died of a heart attack due to natural causes during Jan 6.

Rosanne Boyland, the Trump supporter that "appeared to have been crushed in a stampede of fellow rioters" (more accurately, was claimed to have been crushed, by prosecutors), actually died due to an amphetamine overdose. No crushing/trampling injuries are mentioned.

Benjamin Philips, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, died of a stroke.

Officer Brian D. Sicknick died of "multiple strokes that occurred hours after [his] confrontation with the mob. The medical examiner added, however, that “all that transpired played a role in his condition." What the NYTimes omits from this article, but is found in the NYTimes article they cite, is: "an autopsy found no evidence that Officer Sicknick had an allergic reaction to chemicals or any internal or external injuries, the medical examiner, Dr. Francisco J. Diaz, told The Washington Post"

Officer Jeffrey Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department killed himself after the attack.

Officer Howard S. Liebengood of the Capitol Police also died by suicide four days afterward.

So precisely zero deaths caused by the Jan 6 rioters. Keep this in mind when you see the riot called "deadly". https://www.city-journal.org/insurrections-and-double-standa... covers the hypocrisy in greater detail.
The proposal is to set the fixed portion of the bill to vary with income. The usage portion is still billed per kWh.
Organizations can't scale linearly. You need more middle managers as you add more people and organizational layers, who don't contribute any "output" so this is trivially true.

Alternatively, you could have thousands of people all reporting to a single manager, and if you think that could work, I have a bridge to sell you.

Sounds like the gov did the right thing. Cyclists shouldn't get special privileges. They're operating a vehicle on the roadway just like everyone else. Drivers of other types of vehicles shouldn't also have to remember special rules just for cyclists.

My reading was that the Waymo was turning left. Remember, the description is from Waymo's PR, so that's why it's vague on purpose and needs to be taken with a grain of salt. According to another comment bikes can treat stop signs as yield signs in California. If the bike illegally ran a stop sign I would think Waymo would say or imply that.
As a media consumption device it seems really cool, but I don’t see how the 10th or 20th generation version is relevant for daily life or work. Magic Leap spent over $4 Billion on the physics of high definition light onto the retina. There just doesn’t seem to be any way around the reality of the limitations in the AR approach. In 20 years it will still be a bulky headset with battery life limitations preventing the all-purpose computing device. Still seems really interesting for media consumption and even short duration, high value healthcare applications.
As a biker on the road, yes, you absolutely do consider that the status quo. Otherwise you stand a good chance of joining that statistic. Cars do a lot more damage to you than you do to them.

Which implies nothing about any ideal state, either practically or legally. But it is an accurate description of the real world in many areas, and therefore a reasonable expectation when your life is on the line.

---

On a more technical level, legally and practically, the acceptable number of accidents is essentially never zero. That would imply absurd costs involved in prevention. Everyone wants it to be lower of course, but humans do not have infinite value in policy decisions.
you don't actually need a smartphone at all. i discovered this by accident when my smartphone died. here is what i did.

- installed the whatsapp "app" on my crappy old android tablet that i hardly ever use
- used SMS to my dumbphone to link the installed app to my phone number
- opened "web.whatsapp.com" on my laptop browser
- scanned the QR code in the android app to link the browser session to my account

so, i am now happily using web.whatsapp.com in my laptop browser day to day and all i needed was a crappy android tablet and a dumbphone to set it up.

i have been using web.whatsapp.com on laptop for long time - pretty sure it's 3-4 years at this stage. maybe i am wrong on that.

i also find the browser/laptop whatsapp much nicer to use - copying/pasting etc. is so much easier than a smartphone, for me at least.
Well, maybe. It should definitely be required that they turn any accident records over to regulators, other parties in the accident, and police. But to the public? Imagine if it were gruesome. I doubt I'd appreciate video of a family member violently dying going viral.

I'm assuming nothing. I'm simply posing a question, not answering it.

It's your post that is nonsense, as it appears you've read about half of what I wrote before you replied.
Let's be honest, anyone making any type of conclusion based off the information in the article is just giving in to their biases. None of us know enough to actually have any serious opinion on this specific collision.
Waymo certainly has the video of the collision. Just shows it!
it even has a wiki devoted to it? Seems a tad overdone but I guess it meets the criteria of notability.
China is steadily funding Fab R&D. They already managed to get from zero to somewhat modern ram and NAND (YMTC). YMTC is bad https://goughlui.com/2023/10/10/psa-ssds-with-ymtc-flash-pro..., but _very_ cheap so eventually will improve and start taking over more and more volume. In couple of years China will get to the point erasing UMC/TSMC does give them advantage.
But all of this exists in a competitive market. The person soliciting investment in your example isn't the only person that can help people get visas. Anyone who has some sort of business that falls under the applicable criteria is eligible. The immigrant can even start their own business. Therefore, blaming the government doesn't really make sense. Caveat emptor.

Well worth the money.
A large cloud of glitter would do the same for optical systems, e.g. human drivers. Shining intense light at drivers is also known to cause havoc and incidents. Now imagine a night road lit by a dancing hall light show; many human drivers would find themselves discombobulated.

"S.F. Supervisor Shamann Walton responded to the news of the collision on social media, saying, “So much for safety.”"

Why the snark? It seems it was a hard call, something that a human driver would not have caught and potentially caused a deadlier accident. As I see it there wasn't an investigation from the cyclists p.o.v.

I don't think you can "absolutely" answer the question with the information that, at least could be, available. You can certainly form an opinion that's closer to agreeing with reality however, which is mostly what I'm interested in.

It's basic CICO, from having skimmed it. The problem is this type of diet has the greatest likelihood of failing. CICO is hard to maintain. Eventually willpower fails and gradual overeating begins, leading to surprisingly large and abrupt weight regain. Being persistently hungry all the time just sucks.

Some of the stuff is possibly wrong, like this

There's a lot of nonsense floating around regarding exercise and weight control. The only way to lose weight is to eat less than your body burns. Period. Exercising causes your body to burn more, but few people have the time or inclination to exercise enough to make a big difference. An hour of jogging is worth about one Cheese Whopper. Now, are you going to really spend an hour on the road every day just to burn off that extra burger?

There is scant to zero literature to suggest exercising raises metabolism. Recent research by Herman Pontzer shows the opposite, that calories burned with exercise are negated later through lowered BMR and NEAT. So if you do a 400-calorie run and then eat a 400 calorie cookie, you will still get a net 400 gain, or close to it.
If you are turning across a curbside bike lane then you need to yield. A bike lane is a traffic lane, you need to wait for it to be clear before turning, and yes, you need to check your shoulder on roads with bike lanes.

It seems to me that the best metric might be whether the average driver would get into that position or react faster if they did.

Digging is fundamentally expensive. This is why above ground power lines are not buried, and fiber optic home broadband is not more common than reusing existing cable TV and phone lines. If utilities are buried from initial construction the cost is reasonable. Dig once. Retrofitting a neighborhood after the fact is too expensive. Geothermal has very long ROI like 50 years so usually only institutional building owners who will be around in 50 years bother to buy it.
There’s enough to establish public trust with their voluntary release of safety data and regulators closely overseeing their operations.

Setting a precedent for releasing footage means fault is automatically assumed when they don’t voluntarily release it.

It’s a problem if they’re not even releasing it to the regulators, but that’s not happening here.
I'm using Unpoly (https://unpoly.com) instead of htmx. One thing that, sometimes, makes me consider pairing it with jQuery are the components built around it.

Stuff like datepickers, autocompletes and whatnot are very consolidated in jQuery world. Sure there are options for vanilla JS but they are not mantained or do not have all the features.

These components are being built for the Reacts and Vues frameworks these days.
It is worse than that - No one in the Kremlin believes that NATO is coming for them. There are many proofs, but one is that Russia PULLED troops away from the Finnish border when Finland joined.

I wonder if that includes dental floss.
Sundar was pretty close to optimal. For internal consumption, it was an inspiring story of an engineer who rose through the ranks to the top, an affirmation of an engineering-centric culture. A foreign-born immigrant to boot.

And for external consumption: a polished, articulate, and presentable exec who can competently testify in front of the Congress or talk to politicians without giving off weird vibes, the way Zuckerberg and some others used to.

Sundar isn't a charismatic leader with a bold vision; he is a bureaucrat. But Google never really had a Jobs-style leader, and that might be fundamentally incompatible with the corporate culture over there. It owed a lot of its early success to great engineering, and the reason it maybe isn't working as well now is mostly a function of size. They used to be content with an innovative project that could bring in $50M... now it's not a success if there's no immediate path to $1B.

It also doesn't help that the company doesn't really have a clear product identity. Apple does consumer hardware and a bunch of services subservient to that. 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? And let's not mention their biotech and self-driving car ventures, now spun off but still paid for from the same coffers... it's admirable that they try so many things, but it makes it hard for them to stick to any long-term plan.

I don't think you can really pin that on Sundar - he didn't create this problem, although to be fair, he's also not fixing it.
Markdown shortcuts just really aren't markdown, no refund needed, in the same way that supporting j/k keybindings for <- / -> isn't the same thing as Vim. It's about 10-20% of the way there.

And Google Docs has already shipped "pageless doucments", arguably a huge break with the paper-skeuomorphic word processor model (that makes it so much more usable on mobile, among other advantages).

I really don't think a "light" mode that tones down the WYSIWYG-ness further is out of reach for a company of Google's caliber.

> That's a niche feature available in many code editors, I suggest Visual Studio Code.

That's completely unworkable for fast-paced collaboration, though, and additionally doesn't give me documents synced across devices.

GDocs' conflict resolution capabilities are phenomenal (both between multiple contributors and multiple offline devices); I'd just love to be able to use these with Markdown.
Yeah it's pretty unreal how hard Sundar is working to confirm all of the opinions about him being an out of touch and ineffectual manager. That line was unbelievably cringe inducing.
The Russians apparently have 600 tanks queued up right now for an advance. And while apparently they don't use the tanks as mobile guns for their infantry there is probably a good number in support of those tanks, and it seems unlikely one would fire missiles at infantry. Which is why we were dumping 50 year old stockpiles of dumb bombs in Afganistan. Which leads to the question of how one maintains air superiority for flying bombers in the face of more advanced MANPADS...
That’s such a low bar though. Zero is achievable.

Part of it is to slow cars down and take more cars off the road rather than changing who drives.

Invest in public transit, redesign problematic infrastructure, and create mixed use urban areas so people don’t feel the need to travel through a city.

A city should be a safe place. More deaths in a slower zone than on freeways is preposterous. I understand the reasons why this is true, but the deeper reasons for the reasons are that we gave up.

Fewer, less deadly automobiles is what the goal really should be.
I was actually thinking about World of Warcraft when I was thinking about a game that failed to be sticky. World of Warcraft peaked in subscriber count in 2010, and has generally seen steady decline since then. I think the numbers for WoW look worse when you consider how sharply it's share of the video game market has declined. The video game market has ballooned in size while Wow's user base is slowly bleeding out.

It's hard to get accurate data, but Fortnite has roughly 100x more users than World of Warcraft. Counterstrike is an even smaller userbase.
I loved that language. I actually forked it, used it for a lot of stuff, bloated it (started by just trying to port to x86-64, ended up with a mini-FORTH with regexes, FFI to C, etc.). I still use it every day, though mostly for doing math in hex.
My guess is that the cyclist has really had minor scratches and decided that his time is worth more than waiting and filling in a police report.
> there are stop signs in all 4 directions

This is a complete aside, but woah, is this common in SF? They simply aren't used here where I am (roundabouts are used instead)

Like they're uncommon enough that theres a news article on it in a different state: https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/fourw...

A four way stop sign seems like an absolute downgrade compared to a roundabout, but thats my local bias showing.

I think that line of reasoning would only apply if the driverless vehicles are not better than human drivers. That is to say, it's perfectly reasonable that bike commuters would die as the software is improved as long as less bike commuters are die than would without the driverless cars.

To be clear, I don't know that I necessarily think that driverless cars currently are better than human drivers. I'm just pointing out that the logic changes if they are.
The assertion that vacant luxury houses inherently cause blight overlooks the reality that many such properties are well-maintained, contributing to local tax revenues without burdening public services—a far cry from the notion of blight. Indeed, exclusive communities with predominantly absentee owners serve as a prime example where properties retain or even increase in value due to their exclusivity and limited use, benefiting the broader community through infrastructure contributions without proportional utilization.

The idea that homes might be ‘worth more if nobody lives in them’ reflects a misunderstanding of market dynamics in exclusive areas. These properties offer significant economic benefits by providing substantial tax revenues and maintaining high property values, which support public budgets and infrastructure with minimal physical wear and tear. This scenario underscores the often-overlooked reality that absentee ownership can contribute positively to a community’s economic and physical landscape.

Furthermore, dismissing the economic construct of housing ignores the foundational principles of supply and demand that govern real estate markets. All aspects of housing, from affordability to availability, are indeed shaped by economic forces. Acknowledging this doesn’t detract from the importance of community and social well-being; rather, it provides a basis for understanding and addressing housing challenges in a manner grounded in reality, not ideology.
I would imagine the catch up is not in the form of a factory, but with raw material supply chain.

Tesla would've locked in cheaper lithium supply than toyota.
lol - I bought a Mazda Miata with 180K on the clock, owned it for four years, put another 60k on the clock and sold it for $200 more than I bought it for.

The notion that engine and transmission failures are quite common is beyond ludicrous. Sure, you get some idiots that don't perform basic maintenance but I have a '97 Miata, 2002 Xterra and 2010 RX350 and will likely be buried with all three still working perfectly fine. They have all been paid off for over a decade and insurance for all three is cheaper than any new car, especially an electric (have you checked insurance rates on them now, if you can even get a policy?). I do love people that buy new cars every 2 to 4 years - generate lots of cheap used cars for me to pick from!
