> Autopilot makes sense when that door is usually open, usually available, but today for some reason its closed, and that's unusual. This door was closed and alarmed year-round, for decades, until the building was renovated and that particular exit was removed entirely.

A door in a position that invites to be opened, that makes it convenient for egress, is a door that almost always can be used for that purpose. That it's closed is irrelevant - almost all doors are almost always closed all the time; it's very unusual these days to spot doors that are even ajar, much less fully opened.

This is the default mode; for doors that beg to be used for exit to be unusuable for it, armed with alarm and/or annoyed staff member, that is unusual.

> but I think most Tesla owners love their cars despite them not living up to the hype.

Just last night, a friend was arguing that Tesla is a good investment (maybe it is, for now, I'm not going to judge) _because_ of its full-self-driving capabilities and all the tech going into that. I disagreed for a number of reasons, but the thing I highlighted at the end is that I've met a lot of people who like their Teslas, and not one of them made the decision because of FSD or even highlighted it as one of their top-10 favorite differentiating features. There's obviously a sampling bias at play in that survey, but I don't think if Tesla completely shut down the FSD efforts they'd have a dramatically different customer base; FSD is intended to impress a different crowd from the actual buyers and drivers.

> The CEO's forward looking vision statements

They aren't vision statements. At this point they are just continuous lies, and lies that are no longer forward looking. The false claims are old and stale.

In 2016 Tesla claimed "as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver". That was a lie: https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

In October, 2019 Musk said, "Next year for sure, we will have over a million robotaxis on the road. The fleet wakes up with an over-the-air update. That's all it takes." That was a lie: https://www.thedrive.com/news/38129/elon-musk-promised-1-mil...

Tesla lies routinely with with faked full self-driving videos: https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-video-promoting-sel...

And even dumber faked quarter miles: https://insideevs.com/news/699260/tesla-cybertruck-porsche-r...

The lies are a decade old: https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/

But it's all fine because Tesla claims its lies are constitutionally protected speech under the 1st Amendment. So that's a nice, not-warped-or-twisted-or-deranged-at-all perspective: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2023-12-11/tesla-dmv-...
Yeah the signal handling thing is true, PID 1 is the only process that can handle or mask SIGKILL, maybe even SIGSTOP. The systemd manual documents its handling of a ton of signals but there's nothing in there about either of those otherwise unmaskable signals. So I don't really see how systemd is "relying" on anything. It's not handling SIGKILL, is it?

The other difference is PID 1 can't exit because Linux panics if it does. That's actually an argument for moving functionality out of PID 1.

There are other service managers out there which work outside PID 1. Systemd itself literally spawns non-PID 1 instances of itself to handle the user services. I suppose only the maintainers can tell us why they did it that way.

Maybe they are relying on the fact PID 1 traditionally reaps zombies even though Linux has a prctl for that:

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/prctl.2.html

PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER

What if the issue is just that nobody's bothered to write the code to move the zombie process reaping to a separate process yet? Would they accept patches in that case?

Ludicrously, that manual page straight up says systemd uses this system call to set itself up as the reaper of zombie processes:

> Some init(1) frameworks (e.g., systemd(1)) employ a subreaper process

If that's true then I really have no idea what the hell it is about PID 1 that they're relying on.

Edit: just checked the source code and it's actually true.

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/core/main.c...

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/basic/proce...

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/basic/proce...

So they're not relying on the special signals handling and they even have special support for non-PID 1 child subreapers. Makes no sense to me. Why can't they just drop those PID == 1 checks and make a simpler PID 1 program that just spawns the real systemd service manager?

Edit: they already have a simple PID 1 in the code base!

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/nspawn/nspa...

It's only being used inside namespaces though! Why? No idea.
Alright, that's fair. But I mentioned them as an example. Surely liblzma is a dependency in many projects, and _none_ of them noticed anything strange, until an end user did?

This is a tragedy of the commons, and we can't place blame on a single project besides xz itself, yet we can all share part of the blame to collectively do better in the future.

I think you're right.

Some projects require signing copyright transfer before making commits (legal document claiming that you are a) copyright holder and b) you transfer those rights to them ie CLA [0]) so single entity holds whole copyrights.

They usually have a GHA that checks it when proposing PRs.

It doesn't look like redis has any of this.

So they run RedisLabs purely on trademark + admin rights on GH on redis/redis.

If that's the case then they also cannot legally change licence of code that's already there because they're not sole copyright holders of that code.

ps. as a side note that's why ie. SQLite doesn't allow external contributions at all, even though their code is Public Domain – because they can legally claim full copyright/authorship.

> I felt like I was thrown out at sea 20 miles without a lifejacket

Interesting. I've now put a helpful toast/hint on the demo. Hope that helps with interacting with the interface.

> I am not sure how you square "hyper-focused" with not "losing context"

By hyper-focused, I meant one can discuss one topic at a time in a particular thread. By not losing context, I meant one can clearly see (in the thread to the left of the current thread) where that topic arose from. In regular chats/forums, one needs to keep the context of who quoted what from where in their head. In CQ2, it's clearly visible.

> As a newcomer to this interface and this discussion the need for the big picture with context is much greater than the need to zoom in close (how do I know that I care enough to zoom in close w/o the the context?)

In CQ2, one would read a message fully, and if the message has quoted threads arising from it, one would decide themselves which thread they want to go deeper in. Does that clear your doubt or did I misunderstand something?

> Not so sure lesswrong is the best example if you want a broad range of people to feel included.

I just took an example of a complex public discussion I found. Only other examples I have are either personal or private team discussions. Curious to know why you think it matters whether the example is from lesswrong or not? Or maybe you can share what better kind of example would you suggest?

Sure, they aren't backporting patches wholesale. But the patches that did get backported, if any, needs much more scrutiny given the situation.

The thing about enterprise Linux distros is that they have a long support period. Bug fixes and security patches pile up.

Fortunately though, xz doesn't seem to have a lot of backported patches.

From what I read on masto, the original maint had personal life breakdown, etc. Their interest in staying as primary maint is gone.

This is a very strong argument for FOSS to pick up the good habit of ditching/un-mainlining projects where they are sitting around for state actors to volunteer injecting commits to, and dep-stripping active projects from this cruft.

Microsoft hasn't been cool in decades. They might have had a week back when Windows 7 came out, and another when Win10 arrived, but that's about it. Apple gets a lot more leeway because they've been effective at presenting themselves as the cool choice for years. It's a pretty impressive feat, since I'd expect an entire generation would associate them with "the crappy computer lab your school district couldn't afford to upgrade, but could lock down to make it even less fun."

As you said, they can do some incredible stuff. I can't debate that VSCode is a spectacular product, and it's winning because it's being politely presented as an option. But when they start every interaction with 'we're going to cram this down your throat until you stop clicking "maybe later"' -- people are not going to be too eager for your products.

Funnily "autopilot" is pretty much the closest term to an accurate description for cruise control. Unfortunately consumers have different expectations for an "autopilot" than real life. Real life aviation autopilots are much much dumber and simplistic than the whole deep learning world models control systems setup they have running because pilots in planes have to continuously monitor the avionics and radio, everything is controlled down to a T. It's definitely disingenuous of Tesla to exploit the two different interpretations of the word here.
It's unfortunate that you're downvoted, because I can relate. I knew nothing of the contemporary art world until I found myself working at an art marketplace and media startup. For a few years, I was immersed in it. When I left, I wrote in my farewell note that I felt like I gained a whole new layer of perception of my surroundings. I connected with art installations. I sought out galleries and museums when traveling.

This is how I became acquainted with Richard Serra's work. His pieces are so monumental and immersive that when you encounter his work elsewhere, you immediately know it, whether or not you remember his name.

So I don't blame you for not feeling a connection. But you might find it worthwhile to invest in learning about the art world. If you're interested, IMO, the single best thing you can do is go on the little scheduled guided tours at museums. The docents (volunteer guides) are great at making the art relatable.

Did this bank start out as a "telephone bank"? One of the largest German consumer banks still does this because they were the first "direct bank" without locations and typing in digits on the telephone pad was the most secure way of authenticating without telling the "bank teller" your password. So it was actually a good security measure but it is apparently too complicated to update their backend to modern standards.

They do require 2FA, though.

Absolutely my favorite pop-sci/pop-math book of all time, if you can call it that.

That's because it's the only book I know which is in a good sweet spot between being a true pop-math book, giving the history and context of math (kind of like, say, Fermat's Enigma by Simon Singh), but while also being a real math book, and actually teaching real maths and real proofs of all the theorems talked about. There are some similar books, but most don't get the mix right, and even the ones that do, are just not as good.

Such a wonderful wonderful book. Do you have any other recommendations for similar books?

People aren't rational. Particularly in very large groups.

If a half-dozen (or whatever the magic number ends up being to set the zeigeist on fire) of Boeing aircraft suffer fatal or near-fatal accidents in the near future, everyone will suddenly know who makes which planes, and there will be systems to make sure you don't fly Boeing.

And while I think such a scenario is unlikely, it's hardly impossible. The real driver would be a combination of years of Boeing's own neglect coming together with margin-cutting airlines (you'd think they be extra safety conscious now, but any large organization is its own worst enemy), and any other of dozens of factors that could add up to push aircraft travel in an unsafe direction.

Or to put it another way, my intuition is that air travel (particularly in the US) has been very safe for a very long time, because it has operated with a very large safety margin. There are any number of perverse incentives to cut that safety margin, and it is largely possible to get away with cutting corners because of how deep the margin is. But if you keep cutting, eventually you run out of margin - and the sorts of people who do that sort of cutting can easily have have no idea how much margin there really is, or how much is actually needed to keep operating safely. So eventually things get to the point where you're not operating safely anymore, and then you can get multiple bad outcomes in a short period of time.

I would not have risked my business (or budget) on Postgres 8, even with Slony-I. My appreciation for its well-written code and thoughtful architecture simply did not outweigh what it lacked for a reliable operations experience.

MySQL foot guns were mostly under control by 2010, and it was operationally efficient to manage a cluster of MySQL servers in diverse configurations with mostly-known boundaries to what could go wrong.

The Postgres foundations are the same today, but what you can build on top is very different today than it was pre-9.x.

> “Because despite everyone’s best efforts, sometimes the food spills into the delivery boxes. In those cases, the smell of the previous order travels to the next order and may lead to the next order smelling of the previous order,” Goyal reasoned. “For this reason, we had to separate the fleet for veg orders.”

Would dog-lovers take umbrage if their food orders are delivered from the same bag that also contains dog-meat? Would Jews and Muslims do that if their package was drenched with juices from an order for pork? The answer is obvious. When it comes to Hindus and Jains however, the argument is that their sentiments should not be respected because of "caste" or "purity."

However, I think that shelving the separate uniform colors idea is a good thing. In parts of the country, riders in green uniforms would be prime targets for hooligans of the jihadi-left variety.
