That’s why people many people think Tesla is behind on the path of self driving. It’s good enough when someone sitting in the drivers seat and paying attention, but that’s a long way from self driving.
I've been seeing such comments for 4 years or more. Mercedes and Waymo actually have full self driving on the roads today, with regulatory approval and proven efficiency. Tesla has a nothing burger that disengage if you take your hands off the wheel.
Hello everybody, I published a new edition of "The Tech Bubble". This time I decided to also include the numbers of my newsletter and the numbers of my indie game I am currently working on.

There's also thermodynamics - the more irreversability, the more energy cost. The lower bound approaches zero cost, for computations that jitter forward and backward, where you apply energy to nudge them more often forward.

Wow! I believe this was around the beginning of the end of MTV being MTV. These were one of the many songs my friends and I grew up on. ;-)
> Comment above, mentioned borrowing while structs instead of borrowing memory. I believe this was once discussed under term 'partial borrows', but the "idiomatic" aproach is to 'just split your structs'.

You're mistaking "idomatic because it's the only way" with "idomatic because we say say so". There is currently no way in Rust to specify the granularity of a borrow, so we're stuck with splitting your structs to get around it.

Part of the problem is that it's a hard problem to design around. It can not be done automatically by the compiler, because it would result in changes in the implementation being changes in the type signature. For example, say we have this function:

pub fn foo(&self) -> i32 {
self.a + 5
}

The granularity is borrowing `a`. If we then change it to this:

pub fn foo(&self) -> i32 {
self.a + self.b
}

The granularity of the borrow has changed in a backwards incompatible way (it now includes `b`), but that change is not reflected in the signature. It's the same reason why the compiler refuses to infer signature lifetimes from function bodies now.

You could, of course, say that we can allow the programmer to specify it manually:

pub fn foo<'borrow>(&'borrow self) -> i32
where 'borrow: 'self.a + 'self.b
{
self.a + self.b
}

But this is now leaking implementation details if `a` or `b` are private fields.
I've long felt that if we separated the problem we could open the flood gates for a lot of innovation. Crawling should be its own thing. That is much easily distributed and decentralized.

We could then freely experiment with algorithms and strategies on that open database.
I mean, probably? That's a two-mode failure, so the generally correct engineering is to (1) not make things worse and (2) not worry about cost, because it's vanishingly rare. In this case, it's a "disabled vehicle in the road", which is not a new thing at all, and you rely on the existing infrastructure (tow trucks!) to handle it.
A publicly traded company is whatever those with capital (or those managing capital) and the highest grade of optimism about the company want it to be. Obviously when it comes to Tesla, there's some very strong optimism in the market. Seen from that perspective, I'd say that Tesla remains refreshingly far on the car side of the "product is car vs product is stock" spectrum.

But I agree that taking on the robotaxi market does move them further towards the stock end. In financial terms, deep integration is awesome until it isn't. Eventually most, perhaps all, layers will rely too much on the rest of the stack propping them up and then it all falls down. Mid-term investors will happily bet on abandoning ship right before that happens.
That pisses me off every single time I have to interact with EU banks: no way to have a proper password as 1st factor (pwd managers hate number keypads) and no way to have TOTP 2FA manageable how the f I want.

FYI, ironically SMS 2FA is usually still available to cope with people not being able to install their official apps… so back to square one!
Have you seen what children are doing on their phones? It's not sophisticated discourse on all human knowledge or reading informative articles. It's digital heroin, ads and rage content.
I like the idea, but the example suggests that it invokes external programs for trivial stuff, like comparing a variable to an integer (invokes bc and sed). I would prefer if it compiled to pure bash, and only invoked external programs if explicitly called for. But I guess emulating some feature in pure bash is hellish, that's exactly I don't want to write that manually either though.
Can AI partners make human ones pale in comparison?
My guess is that some form of this is fairly common by all countries who have powerful international intelligence apparatus. Doesn’t make it ok or good, and it’s great that journalists highlight the issue to raise awareness. But also important that for anyone who thinks this is bad who is from a world power to understand your country likely does something at least adjacent to this.
Totally agree. And I honestly don't think Starbucks removing seating has much if any impact on reducing "third spaces" since almost everyone buying Starbucks was getting it to go anyway. This article reads more like someone being annoyed about Starbucks changing than any real evidence that third spaces are going away.

If anything, if more people are now using coffeeshops as remote offices we are likely to see new shops catered to this opening up.

I was in SF which and happened to be driving next to an unoccupied Waymo.

While considering other foot and vehicle traffic, I swerved into the Waymo's direction to test the reaction. The car swerved a bit, honked, and slowed. I then cut the vehicle off knowing it would submit to my position and continued to drive to my destination.

The fastest way to get adoption is to isolate the lanes between driverless and human driver vehicles. Unexpected threats and bad actors like myself would not be able to cross that line, limiting the impact of foot traffic and outside interference.
Screw is forgotten or snapped: nothing is holding the wires, the resistance of ground connection is too high, switches either don't work or misbehave when you test them before flight. A lot of curse words about servicing the damn thing is heard.

Screw gets more and more loose (alternatively, dirt or rust accumulates): less and less current flows through the contact point, more and more voltage is applied to relays. Generally, it is not enough to switch them, until one day another bump changes the position of wires, and ads some more resistance…

If something fails, it should fail as a whole. It's analogous to aborting the program on unexpected error versus ignoring it and hoping that everything else generally works OK.
Have they announce any numbers like that? The only thing I can recall hearing was having 72 operators for 50 vehicles, but that was back at initial launch.

If I were in their shoes, especially given the Cruise debacle, I'd have continuous remote human monitoring of every vehicle. They're already burning billions on this; if having one minimum-wage worker per vehicle just hovering over a big red stop button prevents a gruesome accident and a multi-month pause, it'd be money well spent.
Family having owned a Nissan Leaf and otherwise bearing witness to EVs and hybrids in motor-only mode, I feel like the noise they generate to try and alert nearby people are badly designed for two big reasons:

* The noise is very high pitched. Older people simply aren't going to hear it as their hearing naturally degrades.

* The noise is not at all the sounds from an engine. That EV alert noise is throwing away entire lifetimes' worth of training to be wary of nearby engines noises and sirens.

People meme often about EVs pumping out engine noises over the interior stereo system, but honestly that should be played extra loud on the outside for all to hear.
I can't envision a circumstance where I would use this over perl. Every Unix system under the sun has perl. Even MacOS has perl.

Ask a cyclist in SF whether they trust Waymo or the average driver more.
> Not cheating outside of a few really heinous crimes such as murder (killing your science fair opponent wouldn’t be a winning strategy if caught) is an altruistic action.

I can only imagine someone trying to justify cheating would say that.

Cheating on your spouse is okay? Not cheating on your spouse altruistic? That concept is alien to me. I don't understand someone having no self-respect or being completely numb to how others feel. I know some exist, but I can't comprehend.

If there's "winning" in life it's through living a good and happy life. Some time past our teenage years I think all but the most self-adsorbed people realize that being kind and respectful to others also contributes to our own happiness.
You read a journalistic story about media suppression and it makes you feel like you read propaganda? That’s a pretty disturbing take.

Has anyone built a screenless music player for their kids, or perhaps other projects that allow safe, independent exploration without a phone?

I'm interested in creating something for my children to discover music beyond my own collection. My kid doesn't have a phone, and so doesn't really have any autonomy in finding and playing music (as the article points out).

I recall DIY projects with NFC-enabled printed albums or perhaps using eink tags (though expensive). Maybe I'd hook it up to some api like Bandcamp (or *arr apps if need be).
Literally all of this is wrong. Those mechanics and risks are well understood
My reaction was that the bash version is a monstrosity indeed and I got shudders thinking about being an on-call operator getting a page and then having to read and understand what the hell is wrong with this script.
The most viral "people behaving badly" videos tend to be people that are already disliked by a large portion of society. Fat people, black people, and women. People like them, in part, because they confirm their biases and bigotry.
> Better yet it should be a software update for every existing electric car, even those without bidirectional hardware.

Completely agree with everything you wrote, but also: It doesn't even require participation of the car!

Plain old J1772 already provides the EVSE real-time-ish control over the charge rate. Some charging stations already exploit this to split power between two ports. When one car is plugged in it gets full current. Upon detecting a second vehicle, the EVSE signals the first to reduce current draw (and it must comply).

In other words, every EV can be grid-interactive with just a software upgrade to the EVSE, or, failing that, replacement of the (much cheaper) EVSE.
The article refers to Starbucks in Toronto, where I am. How they handled panhandlers in the past was via a handshake agreement where they could come in and get a cup of water or small coffee free of charge and rest on one of the seats in the corner of the store.

At a busy intersection location where I would go to write daily, I'd see people following those rules and not bothering anyone. The store would be full of regular customers too.

After Covid, everything changed, and not just the decor. Wait times for orders increased massively, to the point where I'm wondering if staff are instructed to service the drive-thru people and Doordashers first. The customer experience now is woeful, and I haven't been back in months.
It's funny to just see "FASTER" as the claimed CPU performance instead of any numbers like they claim for the NPU and GPU. The use of Teams as a power benchmark is also amusing, like they're subtly implying how horribly inefficient it is.

I don't care about all the AI stuff. I just want a better x86 CPU.

I’m not on the same boat, NTHSA has found Tesla’s Autopilot linked to increased accidents with “safety issues with Tesla Autopilot contributed to at least 467 collisions and 14 deaths from January 2018 through August 2023”. They have done a recalls and ar still investigating.

If it's true that they used a different actress for The voice, then this should be very easy to put to rest. Just let us hear from the voice actress.
"Autumn" was never replaced with "fall". "Fall" (referring to leaves falling down) and "spring" (referring to leaves springing up) both come from Middle English. The United States was colonized by English speakers who still used both terms.

Meanwhile, "autumn" is a loan word from French. "Autumn" and "fall" were both used in Britain, but "autumn" eventually won out (after the colonization of North America).

Yes, twitter et al. are types of "microblogging," which is itself a type of blogging.
A factor I think gets left out of this conversation is that the 50's housewife was an aberration, a home-based adult in an age of washing machines, electric ovens and small gardens at most. There used to be so much housework you basically needed a dedicated person to do it all[1].

'50s housewives didn't need to do most of that BUT they were also the primary mental health caregivers for a generation of men who had just come back from something like the second-most brutal war in human history. Typically with support from a member of the clergy but they were on the front lines. It was an enormous but unacknowledged responsibility. And given that we didn't have a repeat of what happened after WW1, on average it must have been pretty well handled.

Today we have memetic warfare [2] instead, and given the social media nature of it, I would expect more women on the frontlines of it than men. Maybe we'll have a lot of 'tradmen' who spend a lot of time fishing, writing poetry, and providing mental health care for their partners working in social media.

Not who you are responding to, but Merriam Webster has the definition of "the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person".

A news article is spreading information so it meets that criteria. The article is critical of Modi and his government to the point you could argue it is attempting to injury him (a person), his government (an institution) and his ideology (a cause).

Seems like it is textbook propaganda. Of course, pretty much any political news story would count as propaganda.
WMF goes the way of bureaucracies. It finds multiple ways to enlarge itself over the years and just cannot ever get any smaller. I suppose at some point it will overextend itself and harm Wikipedia, the only[1] thing of value, in the process.

Probably media against Modi’s right wing/auth government. I’m generally opposed to the Modi government but Jammu and Kashmir is on the largest infrastructure building spree since independence. Dozens of railway lines and roads are currently being built eg. USBRL, Zojila, the lite metro, massive hydroelectric plants on the Chenab etc.
Please use the original title, here "AI-Translation Startup DeepL Announces $300 Million Investment at $2 Billion Valuation" unless it's too long or misleading.
SBIRs can be a good first set of funding. Some agencies go with $100k for six months, so win a couple of grants and you are doing pretty good. The problem is that some agenices have different criteria, forms, etc. so just because you jumped through the hoops for one funding source, it doesn't automatically translate (government does love their paperwork/processes).

Some programs are specifically designed for commercialization and want to see a product available at the end. There was a big shift to that post 9/11 (sometimes called "little 'r', big 'D'": less research, more development.

Ask HN: GitHub Codespaces on a tablet: I have some issues
My idea here is to use Codespaces from GitHub on the go - using an Android tablet with Google Chrome on it and a bluetooth/usb keyboard + ext. mouse.

Sounds good, sets up nicely, but I have some issues, that maybe someone faced/solved already (I googled them but found no solution).

1) when I type in the terminal and hit <tab> or <backspace> or even <space> I get duplicated characters (like what I typed reappears again, ie. cd<space><tab> goes into: cd cd cd cd).
I checked that with two keyboards, a bluetooth and an usb one - both produces the same issue

2) when I use a default Codespace, I can connect to my repository (at some early step I have to choose it) but the version of PHP is 8.0. When I chose a blank template I got PHP 8.2 but no idea how to connect to the repository (I can only convert the workspace into another repository).

With the 2) point probably I can figure out that myself (so please do not punch me too hard), but with 1) the whole thing is useless for me. Maybe that is even a general problem?

Any hint/advice/experience is welcomed. Thank you!

Sampling bias? I know plenty of leftist publications like The Wire, Scroll, News Laundry and even NDTV who are free to express their opinions without censorhip.

It's also about your communication skills and ability to use existing knowledge even when it isn't the most suitable. A while ago in an interview I was asked a problem for which the correct solution is in fact an order statistic tree, but not knowing that, I solved the problem using more standard data structures with worse complexity, and pointed out their limitation. I still passed that interview.
