The owners manual clearly says you are still responsible and it can’t detect stopped vehicles. The system does its best to ensure you’re watching the road with cameras to track your gaze.

Laws always tend to put the driver as the last stop in the chain responsible too.

This is very unfortunate. There’s a good chance that CRV was going to be hit if the Mach E avoided it.

But the person in the drivers seat is still the one responsible.

I would love to know the stories of both the Ford and Honda drivers. Doubt the public will ever know.

I get the reasoning but I’m not sure you’ve successfully contradicted the point.

Most prompts are written in the form “you are a helpful assistant, you will do X, you will not do Y”

I believe that inclusion of instructions like “if there are possible answers that differ and contradict, state that and estimate the probability of each” would help knowledgeable users.

But for typical users and PR purposes, it would be disaster. It is better to tell 999 people that the US constitution was signed in 1787 and 1 person that it was signed in 349 B.C. than it is to tell 1000 people that it was probably signed in 1787 but it might have been 349 B.C.

> A fair deal is when both are better off by the same amount

Nonsense. You can't guarantee this anywhere. E.g. employees in training get paid $15/hr, the employer gets no benefit while they are in training, and the employee gets all the benefit at the cost of their own time.

Software in particular, develop a product or produce a binary once, you can run it an infinite number of times. No software developer is paid $infinity, and will never be paid $infinity.

Go ahead, price in the cost of experiment research that which produces nothing after 5 years. Failed projects? Products gets superseded by brand new inventions?

> Capitalism doesn't really have an "intent". It's just an economic system with unbounded private ownership of capital, hence the name. However, there are certain things that inherently follow from that notion, to wit: because the ability to extract economic rent is proportional to the amount of capital owned, all else being equal, past a certain amount of rent extracted there is a positive feedback loop. Or, simply put, large businesses - and their ultimate form, monopolies - are the natural outcome of capitalism. And since larger businesses have a higher imbalance of power wrt both their employees and their customers, it results in deals (for both products and labor) that are less and less fair - and thus more and more exploitative. Thus, capitalism is also inherently exploitative.

Drivel. No thank you.

You don't have a definition of "fair".
Good evening. I'm signing off now. I tried to get through most of the questions but I know that I haven't answered them all and for that, I am very sorry. Please feel free to email me directly (email in profile) if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in this AMA. The questions and comments were great and as always, I learned a lot myself.
I can think of one. For Java at least.

Imagine that I have a class that has 15 methods -- 14 are a perfect fit as is, but 1 of them needs to be completely overwritten.

If I were to do inheritance, I would do `extends` on the class, and then `@Override` the offending method. Problem solved.

If I were to do composition, I could use the Delegation Pattern from the Gang of Four, but that would require me to write 14 do-nothing methods just to be able to override the one.

In general, composition has more use than inheritance. However, inheritance has a non-zero number of use cases where it is a better choice than composition.

> The critical piece was systemd

Not really, systemd was 1 way that openssh could load liblzma, but another would have been thought the selinux PAM stack. It didn't exactly rely on anything systemd specific, just that it was a (transitive) dependency to openssh.

And the entire notification stuff can also be done without linking to libsystemd, but the maintainers that added the patch I guess didn't want to reimplement it manually (now the docs have a fully functional example ready to copy-paste, but before the protocol was just explained).
Apparently it is possible to measure how uncertain the model is using logprobs, there's a recipe for it in the OpenAI cookbook: https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/using_logprobs#5-calcul...

I haven't tried it myself yet, not sure how well it works in practice.
"obviously" is doing a lot of work there. What's obvious to you isn't obvious to the next guy, who's just going to look for the cheapest cord there is.

They're not well marked at Home Depot, you have to bother to look for the right gauge, the cables aren't even necessarily in the right place, and if you don't know jack about being an electrician, it's easy to buy a cheap 2-prong 18-gauge indoor-rated cable for use outside in a wildly inappropriate fashion. No one at Home Depot is going to stop you and ask what you're about to do with the cable.

yes, For people with half of a clue, it's possible to buy the right cable and be safe, but we have to plan for the lowest common denominator, and tell people that extension cords are just extension cords when they come in all sorts of flavors, some of which are happy to burn your house down, is irresponsible.

More things that I've found helped:

- Use wasm-opt from binaryen. That seems to reliably drop wasm size by ~20-30%. ( https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen )

- Use brotli compression for serving wasm bundles to the browser, and make sure your web server is setup to use the brotli compressed files. (Its a 1 line change in nginx, for example). Brotli drops the size of wasm bundles by about 3x. Its much better than gzip for wasm.

No, I said the post was false. I never said that he was lying, but I will state for the record that he was given misinformation due to lack of institutional knowledge (I am no longer active in the institution for entirely other reasons) . I offered to privately fill him on the real story (at least as I knew it from first hand knowledge) and he chose to double down, so here we are.

I will also add, one last time, when he was dropping it off plenty of other people were dropping off at the same time. We did the best we could with the manpower we had, but nothing was thrown away and a everything was preserved to the best of our abilities. So the only sin we might be guilty of is not keeping paper in the tubs. I'm not sure what good paper in tubs does anyone, though. Libraries seem like a much better solution and we built one, as I already stated. Send some money to the VCFederation and they might help to climate control it. If you are local, volunteer.

In the sense of not being able to survive in a Mexican desert if they were originally a desert dweller .. then I suspect they'd get by - ditto coastal, river, forrest, dwellers.

'But when people talk about "mental maps," I'm not entirely sure what they're talking about. '

For me, knowing where things are in the space around me or in the larger navigation zone is like knowing where the parts of my body are. After spending just a little time in a space, it all feels like one thing and I can mentally point to various places within that space.

I can still get turned around if I have been going through multiple corridors inside with no visibility outside, particularly underground and particularly if some of the corridors are slightly off of rectilinear. Then I can come out thinking I am facing south and it turns out to be east. However, the next time I move though that space, chances are it will all connect up in my mind and then I will know where I am and which direction is which.

My husband is a little more like you. When we exit a building, he will seemingly choose a direction at random. It almost seems like he kind of gets it but backwards and almost always goes the opposite direction. He is not as far off as you. He can learn to navigate familiar spaces but it takes him a long time.

Kind of reminds me of my thinking (back in 1995) that I wanted to write a browser that would have a menu option to show what the output would look like with different browsers (this was back before writing a browser was essentially writing an operating system).

I generally can predict the words it isn’t going to understand, and just make an effort to type those more carefully. The literal letters you typed so far is typically the leftmost option in the word list just above the keyboard. 98% of the time I can just plow right through mashing my fingers vaguely near the keys, the other 2% I just type slow and use the top left word instead of the space bar.

I mean that they would lose ability to tell where is north. Because theoretically, but probably not in practice they could have some sort of magnetic sense like birds are thought to have so it would translate beyond hemispheres. But unlikely since they never needed cross hemisphere ability. Also haven't heard of people developing a magnetic sense so far.

But I do think some mammals may have magnetic sense so maybe...

I specifically meant fail as in ability to determine north, not survival, put down or any sort of other negative reason to be clear.

That's not the point; just saying I run some services typical macOS users don't, so my Linux laptop isn't necessarily lighter than a default mac.

Either way, it's perfectly possible to have a functioning 8GB machine, even with Chrome and an electron app. And it's certainly possible with 16GB.
The US freeway (and highway) system is great because it's consistent across the entire US. I don't know any other comparable road system of that size.

E.g. German Autobahns are arguably better than Interstates, but the entire Germany could fit inside Oregon and a bit of Nevada. And nearby Polish roads are nowhere near as nice as Autobahns.
Well said. I try to be 100% attentive (spoiler: am not perfect) and rather than losing interest in “boring” driving situations I play a game of trying to guess what other drivers will do, and being very conscious of whether I am right.

It’s mostly a way to maintain alertness, but it’s also helped discover patterns. Like, on city streets, if someone pulls out in front of you unreasonably and makes you get on the brakes, odds are good they will are only going a short distance and will turn, likely necessitating braking.

But yeah, just throwing up hands and declaring that everyone probably makes the mistake is no way to improve, at anything.
I was only making a point to the part of the comment that I quoted, where they surmised that most people don't use computers these days. I don't personally think this bit of tech folklore holds true.

I've been playing around with leptos for rust lately - which is a super fast framework for doing web frontend work with rust via wasm. It seems fine, honestly. Basically the same as solidjs:

#[component]
fn App() -> impl IntoView {
let (count, set_count) = create_signal(0);
view! {
<button on:click=move |_| { set_count(3); }>
"Click me: "{move || count()}
</button>
}
}

There's some extra size overhead from wasm compared to javascript, but its honestly not that bad. After wasm-opt and brotli compression, the wasm bundle for this counter app is 37kb. So its in the same general ballpark as react, but much faster once its up and running.

I haven't tried doing direct DOM manipulation with it. But for general components it seems great.

I understand why doctors don't just refuse to come in. It's horrible but one of the only ways they will see change is by refusing poor working conditions. The sociopaths that own the businesses know that doctors feel that way and will milk it for every hour of extra work they can get. It just doesn't matter to them what anyone feels or complains about they are soulless demons who understand metrics and nothing else.

There has to be a way for docs to organize in larger groups and demand better, including striking when it comes to it.

For me, it was taking the joke too far. The catwalk comment intro was actually really good, but then it just kept running with it the whole way through. That is not in and of itself a sin, but unless there's a good reason to do so, it dries quickly. You need something to keep it flowing, otherwise it just feels like you really needed to write 8 flamboyant lines mocking HN about inheritance with catwalk references stuck in for all of the lines. Feels forced, almost like you are trying to meet a quota. Which is what makes it feel AI-ish, to me at least.

Definitely one of the better ones though, very impressive. AI really is great at making some very impressive things. But since AI doesn't "get it", a lot of what it produces just feels off or misses the point.
Think back on how many times you've started a lane change and aborted because there was a car there, how many times you've looked down to navigate and hit the rumble strip, how many times you've had to rely on ABS to avoid hitting the car you didn't notice stopping in front of you, etc.

I don't want to criticize your driving but these are not common occurences for me (ie. the answer to most is 'never'), and I would be quite concerned if they were. Most are solved by maintaining awareness around you (including checking blind spots) and follow distance ahead of you.
