Humorously, I almost bought a brand new Model S in 2017 when they announced full self driving because I was so excited by the tech and the promises.

Instead, I bought a used Model S with AP1.

I have never regretted that decision, it's been a great car. I do feel bad about everyone who bought into those promises.

It may be a good time to remind people of this little gem:

https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

It's from 2016 - almost a decade already. But fear not, FSD v12.5 is coming to the Cybertruck in ~2 weeks probably !
Ironically when you are not paying attention, it is the least safe to disengage FSD. Ideally all drivers not paying attention would have FSD safety features auto engage to stop them from causing accidents.
I hope he's right. I for one would be willing to sacrifice my career and find another one if it means everyone gets unlimited dirt-cheap ultra-high-quality software -- such an offering would be great for the world!
Is pmarca thought to be an exceptionally productive person? None of the dozens of discussions about this article on HN have established that.
It also got flagged four times in a row. Probably due to the subject matter and the person named therein. A friend sent me this and it blew my mind. Infra being this vulnerable to a single angry person is... Bad.
The US has significantly less privacy in general than most of the EU. The way the whole freedom thing is implemented tends to skew heavily towards "businesses can do whatever they think makes the most profit".
I shared the urge to avoid loop until I read Pascal Costanza's Highly Opinionated Guide to Lisp[1]

>> Seemingly, the intended way to use the LOOP facility is to just "guess" a way to express an iteration and see if it works. If it doesn't you can either look up the specifics ...

Since then, I do just guess at the syntax and it strangely does what I want most of the time.

It seems that a library like this has a lot to prove because a) it doesn't provide a new capability, b) it adds a project dependency, and c) creates yet another way to do a standard task. If you really don't like the loop macro, you probably don't need much persuading, but I would have liked to have seen more discussion on the these trade-offs.

Its just the pharmaceutical drug name, similar to Semaglutide with brand name Ozempic/Wegovy. It'll have a brand name once its launched on the market.
It would be nice to see these APIs wrapped usably. Even something as basic as FreeBSD's similar `pdfork()` and `pdkill()` would go a long way. (`pidfd_send_signal` exists, but glibc does not provide an ergonomic wrapper. Nor is there an ergonomic wrapper around clone w/ CLONE_PIDFD.)
Three Linux 6.9 kernel upgrades
Mine is generation of any actual IBM PC/XT computer. All of the training sets either didn't include actual IBM PCs in them, or they labeled all PC compatibles "IBM PC". Whatever the reason, no generative AI today, whether commercial or open-source, can generate any picture of an IBM PC 5150. Once that situation improves, I'll start taking notice.
You don’t think Jobs would have noticed the wrong date on the pitch deck? I was under the impression he was fairly obsessive with attention to detail.
How Safe Is SF?
I tried it and it was laughably bad. The auto park was worse than it was years ago, leaving me a foot out from the curb in an easy spot. Trying to use the self driving on city streets resulted in it stuttering and stopping immediately. The only thing that worked decently was highway driving, which it does without the self driving package anyway.

Given its performance I wouldn't dare trust it with any of my daily driving even if it was free.
USMC -- but it's no Ten Commendments or set in stone. It can be amended as the US sees it fit. The US would find a way to keep them out of the US market.
“Specifically, online analytics workloads would be migrated to Druid/StarRocks”, I'm very interested in this part. Look forward to knowing more about it.
Except according to Elon Musk on X "It's way higher than 2%. Please"

Before you retort with "Musk lies", this is a very specific claim and not a prediction, and would land him in legal trouble as said by an CEO of a public company.

As always anything touching Tesla in the media is extremely biased, like this headline.
I'm with you since v12 i basically use it every time i drive, except for the damn drive way the only thing it doesn't handle yet
Well, then you would be happy to know that the title misrepresents it. It was 2% of a sample of 3500 people who got the trial. Not 2% of all customers.
Very misleading title in that there are financial reasons for not wanting to keep the technology.
I know lol 2% of a shitload of people spent 8k$ after testing a software release, this wasnt some 5$ upgrade lol
Thanks i didn't want to click the link. It smelled like it was clickbait.

I thoroughly enjoyed FSD.
> If the market for their craft was that large why do there seem to be so few of their projects left behind?

Stone for building is comparatively rare, so buildings that are dilapidated tend to see their stonework reused for new buildings. If we're talking about 4000 year-old architecture that has gone through several eras of state collapse and rebuilding, then you'd expect to see lots of reuse.

Note for example that the pyramids--even the great pyramids at Giza--are pretty thoroughly denuded of their outer casing blocks, and there are a few lesser pyramids whose outer structure have been entirely carted away.
I appreciate the insight! Forgot to mention it was that Mutex. Of note, the syntax is kind of messy (Especially the access syntax, which I omitted), but it's not so bad with macros.
That would only work in the case that the camera is fixed on a tripod and has a long period of stable / rigid pointing before the exposure during which to collect this data. This is sometimes the situation in which image stabilization is used. (But if you can be that stable for that long on a tripod, you may not actually need image stabilization.)

By far the more common case for image stabilization is one in which the photographer is hand-holding the camera and may not frame the subject until the moment before the exposure begins. The camera movement will likely be several orders of magnitude (~4 to 7) larger than the drift that you want to measure. A low pass filter will tell you nothing at all.

At a certain point we can just start using guide stars [0].

I’m so sad over the state of self-driving cars. Waymo appears to be the clear winner, but you’ll never own the tech for yourself.

So you’ve got Tesla, which sells a stupidly priced ADAS system with or without a subscription that drives like a teenager.

Comma, great price, but insists they’re solving self-driving cars and their engineering team scoffs at object detection and the unit basically can’t turn at intersections anymore.

And Waymo. Great passenger experience, highly tuned longitudinal comfort, industry leading perception and sensor tech. But you can only use them as a taxi.
I don't know the veracity of the claim, but Josh basically claims the EFF has been useless on this topic.

> At the time the Kiwi Farms deplatforming was starting to show cracks in the Internet backbones, the EFF even launched a petititon website called “Protect the Stack”, dedicated to trying to preserve the neutrality of the Internet. They have never contacted the Kiwi Farms directly to learn about where the stack is in danger, and as a result they have accomplished nothing! Despite the size, prestige, and financial support of the EFF, Protect the Stack has accomplished nothing!
Thanks, how do you get the actual link for a particular post?
> It really does drive like a human

This is not the selling point you may think it is, and not what was promised

> Tesla won't win a price dumping competition on the mechanical engineering and manufacturing quality for their cars.

They are very good value cars in their category though.
I was a skeptic on FSD from 2016, along with Elon's unrealistic announcements about timeframes. But the latest v12 releases in the last month have made substantial progress, far beyond where it was even a year ago. I've gone from being a skeptic who had FSD disabled to someone who drives on FSD in heavy traffic every day and it feels like it has finally turned a corner after eight years.

I'm not sure how or what Yipitdata measured (and I can't find a link to their data), but if was the older releases it makes perfect sense that very few people would buy it.
It's easy to see that altering an entry in an array (size N) is O(1) with mutability and at least O(log N) with immutability, and that affects many algorithms. Altering any small part of a larger data structure has similar issues. In the end, many algorithms gain a factor of log N in their time complexity.
But how much energy is used to create the wind farm?
It is lol 2% conversion on a 8k+$ product, from a 0 effort 30 day trial rollout seems solid. I'd imagine they will keep doing them on major releases live v13 or whatever maybe for the new smart summon even
That's a really good point. Google has likely decided that some query categories are unprofitable-enough already that they can just drop the rest of the expected revenue from them, and instead use them as loss-leaders — aiming to give the customer a better (but zero-revenue) experience today, to increase retention, so they'll come back with positive-revenue-generating queries later.

They've just done a rather braindead job of it, with the experience of these loss-leader queries feeling perceptually† worse than a regular SERP page would.

It's like a grocery store running a sale on e.g. milk, selling it for below-cost — but then making you have to wait in a line for five minutes in front of the milk cooler to get it. It feels like so much friction that not only wouldn't lure people in; it would push people to avoid that grocer when its milk sales are happening, and shop at other stores instead!

---

† I emphasize perceptually here. Even if the total time spent waiting for an AI answer is shorter than the time it would take to load a SERP page, read and select a link that looks like it'll have your answer, click it, load the resulting page, and read it — the AI experience could still feel longer, in large part because "the ball is in your court" for a lot of the self-navigated query, with you being given things to look at and click on; while "the ball is in their court" for the entirety of the AI response, with just a spinner and no indication of what's happening.

As such, I wonder if this could be solved by just running a cute little animation under the AI prompt window: make it look like it's automating the loading of a [blurred to non-identifiability] SERP page, scrolling down, clicking a result, loading an [again blurred] page, highlighting a few random fragments of it, and then transposing them together to form the paragraphs of the answer — before the answer actually snaps into place on top of that animation. If you can predict how long before the AI answers, you can even use that to determine how long the animation should spend dicking around on the pretend SERP page and answer page.
Unfortunately this will be inevitable, and this one we can chock up to human biology.

The average person isn’t going to close their eyes and take a nap, but the average person will start spacing out, will start seeking their phone out to kill boredom, etc.
Google was the first to partner with Reddit for AI , now it’s time for Google to go behind stack overflow which OpenAI already did and probably twitter.
Lots of people have strong opinions on Marc Andreessen going every direction, so it’s best to probably try and determine that for yourself and you can start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen
It appears as if this specific research was funded by Black & Decker. If they couldn't get the benefits from it, it's not as if they'd pay JHU to do and make public this research, but rather that they'd do the research a different way, likely robbing the JHU students of the real-world problem-solving experience as a capstone project of their engineering curriculum.

How JHU's other, unrelated research is funded doesn't seem terribly relevant to this privately-funded, patent-pending innovation.
I thought the praying emoji is a stand-in for thanking someone.
If you can't stop paying attention, what's the point? I don't see the advantage of having an untrustworthy driver assisting me. It's just a liability, or at least another responsibility.

The lying is bad enough to turn me away regardless of the performance. If you call something FULL. SELF. DRIVING. then explain that it is not in fact fully driving itself, I'm not interested in your product. FSD means I should be able to talk to my watch and have the car arrive to pick me up like I'm Michael Knight.
Waiting for Tesla FSD, is like waiting for a robot to make you breakfast when you already have a perfectly good toaster...
Yep i have FSD and while i never found it to be "bad" it was annoying at times and best on highways, now i basically use it every time i go anywhere, cant wait for the wheel nag to go away in 12.4 (or 12.5 i forget)
> I could have my car drop off my then 11yo son at school and save me a commute. My son is now 18 and drives far better than the car ever will.

I completely forgot that stuff like this was supposed to be a huge new thing years ago. Sending your car to be a taxi while you're at work to bring in more income, picking people up..
> It absolutely refuses to drive faster than the speed limits, going 25 on two lane main streets where everyone expects you to go 40.

This is not an issue with self driving but rather law enforcement.
Most accurate military weaponry aimed at coordinates in space / on the ground (as opposed to at an object eg. optically) has accuracy around 3m, from memory (as far as these things are published). I wonder if eventually the continental drift becomes meaningful to that. From memory GPS, and so maybe also US military, use WGS84.

I guess maybe not. Whatever aims the rocket is subject to the same drift, if the measurement and the firing are contemporaneous then the drift doesn't matter. Still, it's funny to imagine an angry general being told his missile missed because of continental drift.

I once heard an apocryphal story about US generals being told GPS needs relativistic corrections to the clocks, and finding it ridiculous. For a few initial weeks, the correction was thus disabled. Only when they saw the measurements drift predictably by multiple meters per day did they relent.
In Japanese, yes, because it has a phonetic alphabet. For example, "konnichiwa" is often shortened as "kon'chiwa".

In Chinese, there is shorthand slang, but not shortening of words in writing based on spoken sounds (since it's not phonetic).

So even if "wo shi" (I am) might be spoken more quickly, there's no way to write that shortened version out in Chinese. You will actually see Chinese speakers use Latin characters and Arabic numerals for phonetic shorthand, (e.g. '88' for "bye bye", because 8 is pronounced 'ba'/'bai'.
Winamp has announced that it is "opening up" its source code
That is how all statistics is done though?
I expect your career is safe. But let's see. Don't forget that security is part of quality.
All those communities that were generated in good will eventually got swallowed up and monetized.
If anyone here is using PlayCanvas then I would love to know why you chose it over the abundance of other game engines out there.

Every time I've taken a look at this engine it has always felt very limited. And with a $15/month subscription just to be able to create private projects I just can't justify it personally. I would love to be convinced otherwise though.
I shot competitively in JROTC and after, but never out to 1000 yards (914 m), only 500 yards. The Earth's rotation affects your trajectory significantly particularly if you are shooting longitudinally at a target at a higher or lower latitude. The Coriolis effect. I had more issues with varying winds or being consistent across shots.
More biased than this post? You can easily pull from dozens of examples of Musk breaking the law with a tweet, including some where a court actually found he violated the law, and still nothing happened.
The law enforcement will stop you if you hold up the traffic by going 25
I would expect those people to more accurately predict how I would feel about it compared to people that got excited about a press release and bought it up front.
I fed the chain-of-thought prompt to GTP-4o and got a correct answer back. I then got the idea to say that the answer was incorrect to see if it would recalculate and come back with the same answer. As you could guess already, it arrived on a completely different answer showing no ability of real logical reasoning.
They announced you will be allowed to take your hand off the wheel and stop paying attention soon, without needing to wait for level 3-5.
as fun as it would be for redditors to now go and burn down any/all content that would feed this bot, you have to believe that this announcement is more of an after-the-fact notification vs a we-are-about-to-do-this piece of information.

either way. there has never been a better time to abandon reddit so ... see you all on Lemmy and here.
Before you retort with "Musk lies", this is a very specific claim and not a prediction, and would land him in legal trouble as said by an CEO of a public company.

Nevertheless, Musk lies.
The FSD I experienced last month was (to paraphrase someone else) like sitting in the passenger seat with a new teenage driver, ready to grab the wheel at any moment.

It's wrong too often to be convenient. I'm not paying $25/week for more work as a driver.
I wish you were right, but historically I don't think anything suggests a change. There has always been a market for repairable and rugged laptops, but their market share loses out to expensive and easily replaceable machines. Skimping on repairability lets you focus on some other feature that you can market instead, which will almost always seem sexier than "the topcase costs less than $500 to replace".

There are success stories here; IBM and Panasonic didn't struggle to find customers for the Thinkpad and Toughbook respectively. But the market was never forced to "adapt or die" as you put it; in fact, the rugged and repairable machines were now the ones that had to adapt. How can you compete against a monopoly on repair pricing?
I mean it was a beta, now it's out of beta because its full rollout but supervised, hopefully data gets to the point they can remove the supervision and bump the autonomy rating once things get to better than human accident ratings.

I'd imagine their going to do something like FSD with Full Autonomy requires Tesla Insurance to optimize their overall cost in the event of accidents that will happen (just like with even the best of human drivers)
The bot buying and selling network reminds me of the time KeyBase tried doing a giveaway of their crypto coin.

You needed a GitHub account and a KeyBase account. So people created as many accounts as their bot networks were capable of, and tried to get the crypto.

Thankfully KeyBase changed the requirements to include "account must be X weeks old".

Edited to add: I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent bots these days. Feels to me that we're lucky (more?) economic systems haven't been bled dry by bot networks.

I miss the promise of KeyBase. It felt like a real digital identity, but for whatever reasons it wasn't good enough to succeed.

I don't think the commenter meant literal ankle bracelets. But I think that's a bit pointless. I don't think it's okay whether it is a literal ankle bracelet, or some BLE tag in their badge. Do you think some option is okay?
There's no 'O' in their name or URL. It's SEroundtable "Search Engine Roundtable".
Exactly, so this is a 2% conversion rate for an unsolicited trial of a product that costs $8k. Seems really pretty decent to me.
$28M of somebody else's money seems like a small price to pay for securing enough attention to either address the situation that made this possible, or create a new market in it to close the arbitrage gap...and this is especially true when the "somebody else" got that money in shady-but-not-illegal ways in the first place.

It's like the bug bounty system is built into the code.
Maintenance Phase did a really good podcast episode on Ozempic and this new class of weight loss drugs in general. They go into detail on the individual trials Ozempic went through and the results after two years, where most gained back a majority of the weight they lost. They also discuss how the trials themselves weren't just the medication, but also weekly meetings with a dietician and monthly meeting with a councellor; so the numbers the studies have about 1/3rd of participants losing 20% of their body weight should be taken with a grain of salt.

It's worth listening to if you're considering starting one of these drugs, or just interested in learning about them.

I know this is unpopular to say and people love to pile on, but I have been using it for the last few weeks and I am optimistic about it. I pay $100/month.

Right now, it works just about flawlessly on the freeway. If you turn it on when you are on the on-ramp, and turn it off when it delivers you to that first traffic light after you exit, it actually is maybe better than actually driving. It passes slower cars, it is way safer than I am at checking my blind spots. It uses the HOV lane at appropriate times. I enjoy letting it perform the chore of getting across 5 lanes of traffic in time for an exit much more than doing that myself.

For local driving, it is still not perfect enough. It WILL get you home safe... but it is more stressful having it drive than driving myself. It pauses awkwardly sometimes... it makes an occasional wrong turn. It handles traffic lights and stop signs reasonably well but overall it's like driving with someone who is just learning to drive. It's more stressful than I prefer my transportation to be.

That being said, I think in a couple of years it will stand as an incredible achievement. The driving behavior it exhibits is incredibly lifelike at times and it is really so close... like all engineering projects the last few percent is sometimes the hardest, but I can see it getting there.

Edge cases.
Different user, but sure!
Three examples:

1) you might have two algorithms for computing the same thing, one simple and obviously right, and one complex and optimized. So you want to state that they always produce the same thing.

fn my_complex_algo(x : Input) -> o:Output ensures o == simple_algo(x)

2. You might have high level "properties" you want to be true about your program. For example, a classic property about type-checkers is that they are "sound" (meaning that if you say a program is well typed, then when you run it it must be impossible to get a type error).

3. You might have really simple properties you want to prove, for example that an "unreachable!()" is indeed actually unreachable.
