> Musk has been saying level 5 fsd is just around the corner for well over a decade, demonstrating a large and persistent disconnect between expectations and reality.

You literally have Musk's Director of Engineering telling/"reassuring" the State of California that Musk's statements on FSD are "visionary, and not reflective of engineering reality".
Adapting nnue-PyTorch's binary position format for Lichess
Yes, exactly this - FSD is MUCH better if you occasionally override it with the accelerator pedal and don't let it be stupid timid.

I keep reading bad reviews of people trying FSD for a day and not liking it because it didn't enter a roundabout quickly enough or slowed unexpectedly, which I agree is annoying, but I love that I can just hit the accelerator and FSD happily plays along.
I retract my previous statement. Indeed, toys are not the only expensive stuff they have for sale.

Hey look down there! The computer-1 case is on sale for $149, down from $249. How much profit you still think they're making, considering it's a DIY kit of bendable sheet metal?
> What Apple really did was make them useful by eliminating several of the things that made them annoying not not useful before.

that’s literally every patentable invention ever, though.

Remington didn’t invent the hunting rifle… they didn’t even invent the first self-loading or lever action rifle, probably.

“removing the annoyances and downsides that make a previous approach infeasible or impractical” is more charitably described as “a useful innovation that advances the field”.

Now, the problem is that a lot of patents are issued for things that someone else already has done, so the recipient of the patent isn't actually advancing the state of the art. But on the face of it, "removing the annoyances and downsides that make a previous approach infeasible or impractical" is literally what patents are supposed to be granted for.
Building custom keyboards is fun, but I might bite the bullet and buy a Glove 80.

I don’t own a 3d printer, so designing a custom Dactyl is not very feasible for me.
Can't plus one this enough. These skills are very achievable, and IMO are required for successfully building prototypes. Especially if you want to be able to salvage an experiment where a couple of mistakes were made, you may need to cut traces solder a few wires and possibly bodge some components on in order to validate the design before ordering the next iteration.
Indeed. Government agencies are overseen by officers of the United States, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the senate, typically to terms greater than the length of either a presidential to senate term.

Just like Judges.

The idea that courts are the only delegates of the elected representatives of the people who are allowed to figure out the nuances of how to carry out the democratically legislated responsibilities of government is a bit of a brainworm that has infected US politics and makes the Supreme Court a little too important.
I enjoy reading this chap's stuff. It's not the way that I would write, but he's got a much broader audience than I do, so he obviously is meeting the needs of the reading population.

I do feel that I can't argue with his stuff, although it is very dark and cynical (and, truth be told, I have a lot of dark and cynical, in me, as well, but I try not to let it come out to play, too often).
I didn't read it, I skimmed it. In this context, "read" means "read it enough to form my own view of the story"; "skim" means "read it enough for moderation purposes", such as title editing.

Moderation relies on the fact that those two are not the same. It is impossible to read all the articles; it is possible to skim enough of them to make moderation feasible.

(I did end up reading the OP out of curiosity later. My own view of the story is that I am pretty persuaded by it, but I don't like the personal attack aspect, which shows up as a mob dynamic in the comments here.)

These are pretty strange arguments. Why should an overworked USPTO lead to more patents? That assumes that the default is to grant the patent. If the default is to reject the patent, then an overworked office would not lead to more patents.

An overworked Supreme Court does not lead to more Supreme Court decisions.

I moved out of my mother's home when I was 16 and I managed to graduate high school. But I left town two days after graduation and I've only been back three times in 24 years.

Had I not left Alabama, and the US, I would have likely ended up just as bigoted and close minded as most of my family. The ten years I spent outside of the US allowed me to learn a completely different perspective and finally made me realize that my mother and my other family were wrong about so many things.

At which level(s), or do you mean voters? Voter sentiment has essentially no bearing on public policy, and it was even proven with data in a Princeton study confirming what we already knew. [0]

If I might quote Gore Vidal: There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.

He wasn't the only one. I built a couple of systems there integrated into the accounts system and "no ML" was an explicit upfront design decision. It was never regretted and although I'm sure they put ML in it these days, last I heard as of a few years ago was that at the core were still pages and pages of hand written logic.

I got nothing against ML in principle, but if the model doesn't do the right thing then you can just end up stuck. Also, it often burns a lot of resources to learn something that was obvious to human domain experts anyway. Plus the understandability issues.

I don’t get the genocide argument. Israel has complete air superiority, if genocide was the goal they could have leveled Gaza in the first day. Casualties would have been at least over 1 million not 30k. And they wouldn’t go door-to-door, drop flyers and knock-bombs (again why bother if genocide is the intent). The fact that the causality count is as low as it is considering they are fighting a genocidal terrorist organization that’s honeycombed itself in heavily populated civilian centers is already an achievement.

At a restaurant that the wife and I recently went to, we were greeted with a QR code at the entrance. Scan that, get logged into a website where you grab your spot in line and get given an estimated wait time.

This kind of makes sense! If you live nearby, you can just keep that URL handy and grab your spot in line from your house, and head out when it comes up. This restaurant doesn't even take reservations - it doesn't need to. For brunch, anyway (that's what we were there for).

The only problem is that the wait times are estimated. Given a 45 minute estimate, we went for a walk. We were a kilometer away when suddenly we went from third in line to "you're up" all in the space of a few minutes, I guess because several parties left close together. We had to hustle to get back.

At least this system isn't scalpable. I didn't get around to asking how many minutes you can be late before your turn is lost.

I wonder how much of those frustrations has to do with Japanese market share of car industry; I think the touchscreen infotainment is not there because car manufacturers value it as integral and central part of car experience but simply because otherwise their product loses against one of Japanese brands.

Japanese road network is a disorganized weighted node graph and absolutely not a grid, and a bulletproof navigation unit has been a must for a car in Japan since its inception around 1990. It is also preferred that they are 2DIN compatible so it can be later upgraded. AFAIK, those are not high priority checkbox items elsewhere, but all cars nevertheless follow the Japanese manufacturer layout because of manufacturers' collective dominance. Cars before 2DIN navigation units seem to have had 1DIN AM/FM radio units with radio buttons[1], by the way.

That dominance leaves a 4:3 8" diagonal hole in immediate view of driver for all cars globally that must be filled with something of value. That doesn't have to be a touchscreen but usually are, and it ends up being a navigation-audio combo unit, and it's outsourced to the lowest bidder. It is not the primary interaction point for cars by overwhelming global demands or principles of automotive product design. That leads to jarring subpar experience that appear to be but are perhaps not intended to be part of core UX of the whole car. I think.

I think most realistic beliefs are that FSD is a minimum of a decade away (personally, my belief is more than, and when it does come to life, it won't be Tesla)...

Anyone who says "it's a solved problem, we just need to implement it" is deluding themselves, and as soon as you poke... it's qualifier, after qualifier, after qualifier. Tesla isn't in "the last stretch". Navigating around Pittsburgh at night in winter blizzard conditions, with poor roads and signage, whiteout over what street markings there are, and poor visibility?

That's the last stretch, not "it handles roundabouts far better than it did in FSD version x-1!".

Interesting analysis, but it misses one group of authors: those who write books for fun, not profit.

Writing is an effective way to convey your thoughts and ideas. Writing a book has the added benefit of forcing you to plan, prioritize, and edit at a much larger scale. With it comes a greater feeling of achievement. Selling a few copies is a nice cherry on top.

you can't automate playwright without a decision making component in front of it, they are definitely using a transformer there. one could train a llama and make it perform triggers to playwright automations. you can even get deep into transformer tokenization and create action tokens and a formal grammar for your generation, build a parser on top of your predict function and have a "lam" working. the fact that they use playwright does not imply it is not generative ai. i'd say it is really hard to do those actions without a transformer involved

I'm talking about the difference between making money off a good product, and being on a quest to enrich yourself at all costs, even if it's detrimental to virtually everyone on the planet, and the company in the long term.
The estimates are always too high, I think that's exactly the reason - people go on the list but then get tired of waiting and leave. I think they estimate conservatively because people would rather be pleasantly surprised than waiting longer than expected, but I think the estimates could be better.
That's the rule rather than the exception in the US as politicians go. Campaign finance reform failed because most (not all) politicians are indeed crooks who accept gold bars from foreign governments, embezzle from their campaign to buy luxury goods, or pay hush money to porn stars.

>So if school kids are being taught "the WW2 era American internment camps should be called American concentration camps," they're actually being mislead.

Internment is for foreign nationals. The implication is there is a loyalty conflict (foreign citizenship) that requires them to be controlled. Concentration camps is the correct term.

If people are trying to gatekeep the term "concentration camp," a term that existed before WW2, they should stop.

>The lesson can't be oblivious to popular understandings or less precise popular usage.

No sane person equates the Japanese-American experience with the Holocaust so I'm not sure exactly who you think is actually trying to "lie and mislead." For decades, the vast majority of the community (led by the JACL) preferred to say nothing about it in the interest of integration.

The renaming is about stopping the use of anodyne terms ("relocation center" and "internment camp") that literally did, and do, nothing but make a few people feel better about the armed imprisonment of US citizens. Roosevelt, Truman, and several of their secretaries called them "concentration camps."

I'm not sure where you got snarky, I'm just giving a little info on the state of scientific development of that particular field at the time. You need plenty of previous work to get to a theory of electromagnetism, as Maxwell did. If you prefer something a little earlier and more experimental Faraday published his seminal result in 1831. It took him about 10 years of fiddling with wires and magnets.
