Less than you would think (in case we talk about manslaughter / kill by negligence, outright murder may be a slightly different topic).

Literally every seasoned doctor has what they call a 'small cemetery' of their failures. Got this from a GP, you don't need to be a surgeon for this to apply. In fact GPs have probably highest chance of saving/not saving lives due to volume of cases and potential severity of those, even if they don't do any invasive medicine themselves.
Just because the selection is "correct" (e.g. gives best results in practice) doesn't mean it's not arbitrary.

The article starts with the premise and fails to deliver. The visual layer of the article is nice. But ultimately the example of using the Pareto's frontier is a FAIL because it doesn't deliver on its promise of finding the best kart setup.
I wouldn't put much weight into anything Elon musk has to say.
IMO the CTO hasn’t written production code since 2008 and doesn’t know about what modern software dev is like.

He dreamt up a system which is basically AWS lambdas, but calls to services are abstracted by wrapper classes so it doesn’t _feel_ like you’re making a network call.

Also, I think he just ignores what he doesn’t understand.

I asked what he was thinking about using for our front end and he suggested using wisel, which is a proprietary, mostly unknown, C# to html+css+js package.
He said it “paints widgets directly on the page from c#.”

He believes that html+css+js is too complex, so ofc adding C# and a JSON style format that approximates css to the equation will make things simpler.

Yes, a thousand times yes.

>While "don't let any possible attacker see the device" is good defence in depth it is a pretty shitty only level of security.

If we're talking about a company, I agree. For a home, I think VPN + firewall is sufficient security against insecure management software on network devices.

>Even if it is protected outside of your local network many people have crappy IoT devices or even just laptops with malware on their network.

If there's a malicious laptop within your network, what difference does it make if your NAS has a security vulnerability? If your laptop is compromised, it's game over anyway because the attacker can steal your cookies or install a keylogger. If it's a housemate's laptop that doesn't have access to the NAS, they can do ARP poisoning[0] and MitM your NAS to steal your credentials (unless you're also vigorous about managing your own TLS CA).

>In top of that this won't even really prevent this vulnerability as it can be triggered by a GET request. This means that if you are connected to the VPN any site you visit can trigger it. (If they can guess the hostname or IP)

Other websites can trigger the behavior, but they can't read any responses because of same origin policy, so they can't exploit anything.[1]

Correction: I overlooked in the writeup that the GET request allows RCE. So, you're right is that malicious websites can exploit this despite SOP. Still, firewall + VPN reduces your risk by many orders of magnitude. Instead of the attacker trivially scanning for your device or looking it up on Shodan, they have to trick you into visiting a malicious site.

I find it confusing that people like the Nikola guy have been charged with fraud, but Elon musk hasn't.
An NES emulator, for example, would not require the inclusion of anything copyright protected, since there is no built-in system program code. An NES emulator app could instead offer the user to manually install games in the app sandbox, like ScummVM does today, with no concern for whether they were obtained legally or not.
I'd wonder how many variables go into a calculation. Dozens? Hundreds?
Used it, it’s just glorified marketing and among all the solutions we tried it ranked in the bottom three.

The best at least for now is to just use OpenAI’s custom gpt and with some clever (but not hard) it’s quite good.
It is a good explanation of what is happening. However, I think that many of not most Python linters will warn you about this. It is perfectly valid, and something you might actually want, so it should not throw an error.
It sounds nice in theory but your dataset is most likely too small for the LLM to "learn" anything.
Well if you have unknown external forces acting on the system, but the response to those forces is instantaneous, then a PID controller isn’t the right solution. A much simpler proportional controller with little to no tuning will do the entire job. Note that in a software system that uses discrete time-step samples, “instantaneous” means the system’s complete final response to the input is produced during the same time step that the input change was detected. If the response is produced more than 0 time steps later, then there is a delay.

On the other hand, even if you have known forces that take a known amount of time, a PID controller might be the right solution if the integrals you have to solve are unsolveable and/or just difficult. One problem with that idea is that it’s easy to get slightly wrong when complex physics is involved, and slightly wrong output can have unbounded catastrophically wrong consequences. You’d still want to monitor the inputs and responses, and so you’d end up with a PID controller even if you did try to pre-compute the solution.

However, vehicle steering does not take a known amount of time to complete, it takes an unknown amount of time, and there are many dimensions and variables. So, yes implicitly in PID controller land, you have a good point in the sense that part of the idea is that the inputs and response times are unknown. If the inputs were known and the solution was exactly computable and the exact answer was reliable, then you could use some kind of pre-integrator instead of a PID controller. But, I think it’s still fair to say that time delay is the main cause of the problem that PID controllers are designed to solve, because unknown inputs without time delays are not PID controller problems.
I find them nice, but I think I saw like 3 of them since their introduction. Meanwhile Teslas and Zoes are growing. Hopefully the AMI doesn't fail, I like the concept.
Right, they aren't the only manufacturer. There are a dozen major ones. People always miss this about competitive markets. They are already charging the highest price they believe they can.
Tokens aren't a necessary differentiator here. There is no fundamental technical reason why tokenization is used, it just has certain practical advantages. And the distinction almost disappears when we look at multimodal transformers, which process images, audio, and video broken apart into sequences of blocks of binary data.
It's still not brutalist. Though I agree with the ideas expressed on https://brutalist-web.design, I don't believe it's brutalist either.

> My primary inspiration was addressing software and tool bloat in UIs rather than strictly adhering to every principle set forth by David Bryant Copeland.

You could have made it faster and less bloated in just plain HTML, an entirely unecesary level of bloat for a page like this. Your page makes 71(!) requests (compared to HNs 7) and is about ~158kB of data, not far of 3x more data than HN.

You've made something, but not something brutalist, performant or bloat free.
Aka the “teaser” rate.
Can other DL algorithms do things reliably, see e.g. self driving cars?
>They also talk about recreating slicer software (using the Unreal engine).

It's a lot easier to write the software for an SLS machine than an FDM machine, I wouldn't count that as a concern honestly. You no longer need to worry about specific paths, number of perimeter layers, overhangs, or any of that kind of stuff. It radically simplifies the problem space, so it's not unreasonable for someone to throw together an MVP of an entirely new slicer for SLS in a few weeks.
No it does not. See for example: https://twitter.com/MikageEmu/status/1776558775064760798 (from a former Citra dev). Quoting the relevant parts:

>No, the new App Store policies won't get us emulators on iOS. Sadly this has been grossly misreported by basically everyone.

>The platform continues to be as unattractive for community emulators as ever.

>[...]

>Apple only wants emulators that offer in-app downloads

>[...]

>For 4.7.4: Sure, you could theoretically ship a list of the entire game library for a console. But what "universal links" would you even provide?

>And again, language reveals the intent: "software available in your app" means they don't want users to bring their own.

Thank you very much for your help, just upvoting feels rude! I have not quite gotten there, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Clearly I'm an enthusiast at best, but "back in my day" you could put all the needed libraries in the script tag and the CSS under link... sigh... The moment nodejs, supposedly a back end, started being used pervasively for the front end, I lost whatever conceptual map I had. Just as a personal challenge, I'm planning to _study_ [1], which I see referenced a lot, and see if I can "get it", albeit partially. Any other such references would be welcome.

Thanks again! Great website and projects, by the way.

Generative AI, Bullshit as a Service
* How do we start treating intentional negligence that leads to mass suffering and death as seriously as murder?*

I think a combustion of very public corporal and capital punishment is the only answer here.
Nah it's just as goofy now if not goofier. What's hard to remember is that back in 2013 nobody really knew or cared who Travis was yet. You can never predict the successes. I guarantee around that time there were much more "serious" people who looked more likely to succeed.

Likewise, now some people may seem really adept at startups. Perhaps they know all the right VCs, have a PhD, maybe they grew up in SF instead of moving there.

At the end of the day that stuff matters very little. The next big startup will be from someone, and something no one sees coming.

For example, I can think of one AI founder who is growing his company almost entirely on the back of using his product to make and post completely unhinged memes.

Harder to imagine in 2013, even then it might have seemed a little too unserious.
I agree that Canadian crosses are necessary, but they affect a really small minority of programs and they are either not using Autotools (LLVM/clang, QEMU) or not going to migrate away from it (GCC/binutils/gdb). All I wanted to say is that there are also cases that go beyond the Canadian cross and IMO it was not a mistake for Meson to focus on good support for build vs host and leave the target aside.

With respect to pkg-config, I don't know. I still find it a better tradeoff in terms of both ease of use and discoverability. I am not 100% sure it's a problem of the tool. In my experience doing cross compilation it's never gotten in the way, I can imagine it may introduce some headaches for those that work on the meta-buildsystem (e.g. buildroot or yocto) but overall it's hard to prefer either config-script-of-the-day (which almost always has exactly the same problem just multiplied by N) or cmake-macro-of-the-day.

Agreed 100% on the relative advantages/disadvantages of CMake vs autotools. As a developer Meson however is night and day when compared to both.
Really the dig should be on Microsoft -- I had to hand write an xml for WiX to push out a small single exe project and if I had hair left I'd have ripped it clear out -- how is making an MSI file harder than say NSIS or innosetup? I get their toolage is for visual studio projects but I wrote this outside of that so I'm on my own.

I was a "customer" since they had a free tier for my occasional hobby projects, the only free tier I found. Anyone else offering this?
I agree. You might appreciate my elaboration on the SGI specifics of this elsewhere on this thread.
Do you see the company struggling to stay afloat, breaking up, selling parts to competition just to survive? For poisoning half of planet and killing god knows how many, yes thats a (bit bigger) speeding ticket, nothing more.
not necessarily. feedforward path delay can be zero. typical mistake done while modeling feedback systems in SW.
Yep, systemd is an excellent and stable process runner - it can start your processes whenever, with dependencies (eg redis/pg), or on a flexible schedule etc.
Economics is definitely not a science.

At best, it is really just a philosophy; sometimes bordering on a religion --- of which there are many --- none of which can be proven "correct" in every case.
Not OP but even setting up an AWS Account is a roughly hundred step process. Root account, IAM Accounts, I just tried using CLIv2 which asked me to set up something called Identity center first? Billing is complicated, setting up looking and metrics... Another two services. Some other best practice things... Also extra services.
AWS is complicated.
There is - for me and seemingly others - a lot of value in avoiding this complexity.
AWS used to be easy to use for "drive by users".
It's not anymore.
I remember taking college classes where one had an online test. I typed in the correct answer, however because I formatted it differently than what the test expected...I failed the question. How many times have we seen these chat AIs give wrong answers? I could see a student given a correct answer but the AI failing it because AI really isn't that smart.

I really expect there to be major major issues with the advent of AI, not in that it's taking over people's work (although thats a big issue) but simply that people will rely on AI to be correct when it's actually wrong. AI is based on existing knowledge (and since it's been taught off the internet, it most likely has a lot of wrong information). We need people to a) check the work of the AI b) still need people to do new research and collect new data.
Currently my "sensitive files" setup is a Pixel 8 with graphene, plugged into dock. A bit clunky (waiting for the desktop mode improvements), but not a bad security compromise.

Weird.

> $23 a month, for a 48-month period with $2,900

2900/48 = ~60..?

Still, 60/month is very low. 43 mile range would be a dealbreaker for me though (not that you'd wanna venture very far at 28 mph).
I've been puzzled by this myself.

Maybe it's to discourage people from holding up their phones and observing the event through their phones.
This package completely rely on the github API and doesn’t support mermaid code blocks, where as ghore is completely offline tool doesn’t rely on github api and supports mermaid code blocks.
Not really. To be really sure, set ! as a password in /etc/shadow. That's what most distributions do. PAM has another security measure, if user's shell is not in /etc/shells, it's also considered a locked account and will not allow login.
Sinusoids are also special because they are eigenfunctions of the derivative operator.

The physics result is actually probably a consequence of that.

At the end of the day the whole lesson of modern math is that its useful to view things from many perspectives.
I largely agree with this. I didn't take "one server" literally; more as hyperbole.

Concern about availability is overblown, not irrelevant!

There are shades of gray, though. Most sites don't need to engineer their system to hide catastrophic database failures from the user. Not being able to tolerate a single web server failure, though... that's just careless, and will end up giving you a bad reputation.

You probably don't actually need five nines -- but three probably won't go amiss...

How are these companies making any money considering the depreciation and repair costs for these cars?!

Leased cars would logically depreciate much faster too considering people won't look after them as if their own. A car worth 30k would most likely be about 15-20k after end of third year; but company would've made 36x200=$7,200 excluding any upkeep costs!

The only explanation must be what we are sold for 30k must cost something like 5k at the factory for these companies to be viable.
For example, ScummVM for iOS includes the MT-32 emulator MUNT. It doesn't bundle images of the ROMs in the MT-32 (which would be illegal without license from Roland). Instead, the user can dump the ROMs from their own MT-32 or obtain them by some other means and drop them in the app data folder themselves.
While this is true of course, it is easy for knowledge workers to say this when we aren't the ones pounding in nails all day.

We speak as if the houses just build themselves and we just have to press these buttons in the right combination like software.

Everyone involved basically has better options than to build more housing so it should be no surprise we have a shortage.

I feel like we should be doing again an analysis from first principles, determining the purpose behind having students learn X, and determine how useful it is given today's context. If AI can do X well enough, then students should really be taught how to use it to do X for them. Or perhaps there isn't even a need for X at all anymore; just a nice-to-know.
... but only on the volume it is explicitly given access to. So, if the library was IO-less (and didn't use unsafe code), you could embed it in some tool, e.g. for forensics, and not have to worry about it compromising the security of the "host" system.
The attention mechanism is in practice implemented using three linear layers. The matrix multiplication to average the output and to implement the masking is the only non-neuronal part of that computation, but it can be seen as an activation function.

Usually, linear perceptrons and ReLUs or GeLUs are used. Due to the enormous compute requirements to evaluate models of interesting size, other types of neuronal networks and activation functions have received very little attention (pun intended) so far.
The Aiven company they have partnered with's website seems to be down. Bad omen.
When you sign up for student loans, you are aware (or at least should be) that they can't be discharged in bankruptcy. They aren't dischargable in bankruptcy because if they were, far fewer would be made, and far fewer non-rich people would go to college, and we don't want that. Nothing would perpetuate class divisions more than restricting education to those with money. Nobody would ever get a student loan for an anthropology degree again.

I don't necessarily agree with this system, as an 18 yr old probably does not have the life experience to make such large financial decisions, and I think perhaps far fewer people should go to college for things of no economic value, but the system has logic to it. It's meant to benefit the "peasants". Rich people don't need student loans and can pay for their kids' degrees.

Fines aren't the same. A company only has so much money. Many of the owners of the company are pensions funds, etc., that are held by the middle class. You can't reasonably squeeze money from everyone who had an ETF that contained 3M. You need to allow corporations to file bankruptcy to have a healthy economy, in fact, America's bankruptcy laws are (according to some economists) one of the reasons we have such a strong economy.
I was thinking the same thing.

I get that it’s interesting to study what an LLM in isolation can do. That doesn’t accurately reflect what the commercially available AIs are, does it? Aren’t ChatGPT and Gemini AI tool suites?

It kind of annoys me that when you ask Copilot for help with something, it will spit out non-working code. Why isn’t Copilot running and debugging the code before presenting it as an answer?
there’s probably a cool consistent hashing solution where jobs are routed to a host that that is likely to have the cache stored locally already and can be mounted into the containers.
There's a bunch of stuff in POSIX no one really implements. Pax and SCCS spring to mind (although SCCS is optional, IIRC). I'm sure there's more you will find missing on a fair number of modern systems.

And the person who was there says "Stallman wanted X because Y". That there may be other good reasons for X is besides the point, but recollecting the argument at the time doesn't make one " ignorant and clueless". What a ridiculous comment. Furthermore, in a quick search it seems that m4 wasn't added to POSIX until the early 90s. So that makes it doubly besides the point and doubly ridiculous.
In some (not all of course) of these discussions, the CEOs/other decision making executives have said things that were fairly explicitly "dangerous"/illegal.

I do know I've thought about this, and even had one of those "moments of realization" on the drive home from my first lecture on DCTs, where I thought I could transform all of human history from time domain to frequency domain and how this would bring out certain patterns and truths that could not be understood otherwise. I swear I wasn't on drugs! (Though the lecture was in fact given by Prof. Marshall of Rutgers, the father of the lyricist for the rock band Phish, at whose concerts I have imbibed certain substances... but I digress.) The frequency domain is just as "real" as any other mathematical construction that can help us understand everything.
