> Doty said the car nearly hit a moving train in November after it approached some tracks after a sharp turn.

> He said that the Tesla did not slow down but that he was able to stop, still hitting the crossbar and damaging his windshield.

So this guy has been in a similar position before and still let the car barrel towards the train hoping it would stop this time? I don’t buy his story.

The fog is an interesting situation too, as non-vision technologies would struggle here too.

Zuck argues it's energy, and I seem to line up behind him.
One could argue that is natural adaptation. Modern chickens are likely going to be more successful at propagating their genes into the future.
This is seriously cool but I really think we are losing our way in game development.

We used to create DSLs to make scripting of games simpler and less error prone... so that coders/designers could write Scripts/AI in a language better suited to the problems they face. It was sort of a side issue that is was a sandbox although that was really useful for lots of reasons.

Now we seem to be creating more and more complex toolchains while complaining that game development is getting more and more expensive. We're not solving the correct problems at all.

Oh well.
I wish there was a way to do this with food in a common fridge, in my office.

It might also help understanding, when talking about the history of git, to keep in mind that it came to be out of the urgent need for a tool to replace (then still proprietary) BitKeeper. I wouldn't say that bk is as hard to grok as git, but it's certainly complex as well. I wonder if some of git's idiosyncrasies are a result of intentionally avoiding a look&feel equivalent to bk lest that would alienate Mr. McVoy.
What search? Some search within Meets? Or are you talking about Google Search in general, in which case I don't think the Meets team has much to do with that.
Lidar is terrible in fog, it would have just fallen back and told him to drive manually. That's easy enough to do with images as well.
This is the reason why an autonomous car should have radar/lidar. With those sensors such a scenario would be extremely easy to detect.
That was hilarious, I don't like the white page background.
> Until a year or two later when MS rolls out the feature of "AI" on "your data"

It's already touted as an AI feature.

And yes Microsoft is very adamant the images are stored locally, I wonder if all the processing is purely local too though.
Yes... I'm not sure what the archetype of intelligence is, but for practical purposes I'd say: Humans have some of it. And it's not clear to me that what humans have is very far from what AI is starting to have. The hallucinations are weird and wonderful, but so are some of the answers I saw from below-average students when I was in university. Can't tell whether the two weirdnesses are different or similar. Exciting times lie ahead.
Its a smiley face being drawn in progress.
>I would have missed it at that speed in the fog

Really? I wouldn't have missed. There was plenty of time for the car to stop based on the video I saw. It looks like 4 seconds of visibility before the driver had to turn the car. It didn't seem like the car was going that fast. There's no way a normal human being paying attention wouldn't be able to get the car to a full stop in that 4 seconds.

From what I understand, Tesla's FSD only uses vision to drive. But we, as humans, use all of our senses to drive. We use vision, smell, sound, as well reasoning and historical knowledge.

If I saw flashing lights in a fog, I would slow down no matter what. I might have heard some sounds, however faint, from the train moving. I would have reasoned that I should always drive slow in the fog, particularly near an area where there are train tracks. I might have sensed that we are driving in train track territory because I saw some tracks around here in the past or I have come across knowledge about this area before that I remembered. Tesla's FSD uses non of these senses.
Why did FSD enable itself in such bad weather conditions? Why did the FSD not hit the breaks on time, when the closed railway crossing and the train are clearly visible?

Remember in the last earnings call Elon said that the latest version of FSD is almost ready for actual autonomous operation. I don't think this is the case.
As long as 100% of the information is true, this is fine. When competing powers reveal each other’s dirty secrets, ordinary citizens win.
But we need to be careful about injection of various messages in a factually correct information: let’s say, 99% of the facts are true, but a certain person or business is incorrectly mentioned as connected to them. It can be a genuine mistake or it can be an attack on that person or entity. This is just one of the many scenarios of using information warfare.
It would be great if a newspaper or independent OSINT team would verify this information.

To be fair, the swiping was something that if I'm not mistaken was brought to the scene by Tinder, which was never designed as a "dating" app, but rather, a hook up app, that people decided to use for more serious dating. Big surprise when it doesn't do the job it was never designed to do.
This can all be solved simply by driving your own car.

You seem to be missing the point: It wasn't that "people ... biased themselves into it"; it was the name, the ex-board-member's direct reference to Johansson, and Altman's tweet that did that.
> 2. Install a RISC-V compiler

> On Linux this is fairly straight-forward.

Well... Of course on Linux it would be straight forward

I'd love for games to start having any/all system languages as the embedded scripting language.

But with Linux being around ~2% of the market share (with "~" in a hand-wavey way), I was kinda looking for the Windows steps to see if how much of a pain this would actually be if somebody wanted to set it up.
These investors seems to haven’t learnt a lesson after the Twitter/X eff-up.

NVIDIA must be happy, $5.9B will go to it.
Doesn’t look like the car was totalled or even damaged too much but I could be wrong. However I appreciate these videos spreading around so Tesla owners understand relying on these features is troubling and should always pay attention.
That's patently false, or we wouldn't resort to all kinds of tricks to convince the (moderately smart) Go compiler to elide bounds checks (that we know to be unnecessary) from inner loops where they degrade performance significantly.

He apparently didn't realize that it was important:

"is in his 60s, has fished since he was 15. The courts were told that he had no formal training but picked his fishing grounds by experience"

"he saw a chart showing a line running through his fishing area with the handwritten notation “abandonne.” He concluded his underwater nemesis was fair game and when he snagged it again in June of 2006, he pulled it up and sliced through it with an electric saw."

"Vallee heard that police were looking for the culprit. He came forward and made a voluntary statement."
the western allies certainly could and should have done much pre-war, and arguably in the war (mosquito strikes on the camps, for example). my point was that few can dispute that, as we see today, the whole imposition of israel on its neighbours has been a disaster.
To be fair, even the photo sensors should have been able to pick it up in this case

Hi folks,

I cherish both my anonymity and the value of my work.

Please, is there a way to publish anonymous pre-prints with a DOI?

Thanks for your time!!
I've been in such communities and they do bat an eye actually. If people enjoyed it then rich western people would be doing it for fun. Funny that I don't see the "kill your own goat" experience being sold in tourist packages.
Thank you, I think you are right.
Nice! No more CPU cooler and RAM clearance issues.
I don't understand how RPKI prevents route hijacking. It just signs that a certain AS owns a certain prefix, right? How does that stop another network from pretending to be peered with my network, then announcing an indirect route, copying the signature from my valid announcement of the same prefix?
> It also seems a bit... weird... to have it laid out flat on the board instead of having some way to slot them in the same way as DDR sticks, at least as far as space saving goes.

Thanks to ever more integration of discrete chips, space isn't as much a premium as it used to be.
I dunno if lidar would have helped here much since it was so foggy (unless fog is transparent to IR or something?).

Radar would, but radar is also a bit crap - in particular angular resolution is very very poor.
From the article: "Doty said a Tesla Collision Center told him Wednesday that the car was totaled."

Not surprised. That wheel definitely looks mangled enough to warrant a hefty repair bill.
Tell HN: Phind Region Blocked SEA region
Pretty much the entire SEA region got blocked from accessing phind.com ~ for about a month now. It now shows "Service is unavailable in this region." with no prior announcements either.

It sucks because it was one of the best dev assistance out there and I lost a good amount of chatlogs.
Just a reminder: Tesla also offered Full Self-Driving (FSD) as an upgrade option to EA in 2016.

Here we are, 8 years later and despite flashing crossing lights and the train, it failed to detect "train crossing ahead - stop" situation.

I get their probabilistic approach, but I don't see it passing the regulators.
> The easiest way is to run a Python HTTP server, but the memory usage is too high. We need a more lightweight solution, so I used xmlrpc for memory efficiency

Doesn't XML-RPC operate over HTTP?
I don't say the FSD is working well, I just find it absurd how people use this technology in practice. This person knew the system had malfunctioned at the same spot before, yet they choose to enable it again under such bad conditions and then don't pay enough attention to intervene in time? Almost like the guy whose Tesla drove into a lane divider who also chose to ignore that and play on his phone even after the car had the exact same problem at the same spot multiple times. It just seems extremely reckless to me, that person would've died for sure if his car had gone under the freight train.
At least pick up the CLOSED barrier.
I think he meant lidar.
solana can make some ceremony for warp bootstrap. instead of validating since genesis, ask several on chain random nodes for start from specific block. and fisherman to find if any node differs from archieval.

so economics of storage i do not know, but that leads back to artificially cheap transactions. as soon as tx will be real price, they will pay storage.
They do, they'll just come after you for the money and will not cover your costs since you acted reckless.

Where I live this is the minimum you MUST insure yourself for and they pay out no matter what (to the other party). If you acted in bad faith they will come for your money. If it's an accident or out of your control they pay the damages you caused for you and you are fine. Since everyone is insured by law what usually happens is the companies involved all pay out and then afterwards figure out among themselves if and from whom they can collect.
Might even cool both CPU & RAM with a single large block.

That was definitely a power grab. Suddenly CAs had all the power. The ONLY reason we ever accepted a browser-mandated transition to TLS is that Let's Encrypt started existing. Without Let's Encrypt, this would have the effect of requiring every website operator to pay money to a CA, even with full self-hosting.

When Let's Encrypt eventually stops behaving in an altruistic fashion, we'll stop doing near-mandatory TLS.

If your entire team is in the same location, then you should certainly have your meetings in person. It'd be silly to force everyone to join a Meet/Zoom. I'm proposing a solution for situations when that's NOT the case (e.g everyone is fully remote or you have a hybrid team).
Well, as impressive as the Amiga was, there were more capable graphical workstations available (for a price) even at that time.

Seafood works well; tilapia is relatively cheap, can be frozen, and offers 28g of protein in 128 calories per 100g of meat. Shrimp has an even better protein/calorie ratio, but tends to be more expensive.
Raw LIDAR, sure - there are data filters that can help reduce the bounce from water aerosols, and probably near light frequencies less affected by water.

But to your point any quasi autonomous driving assistance should have sanity chacking to fall back | downgrade spped and control and warn operators when sensors no longer work as expected.

Just as a good human driver should know when to slow down | pull over in poor conditions.
They do not. Lidars do though.
Yeah, don’t push it on the driver. Push it on such a reckless company marketing their smart vacuum cleaner logic as FSD, and on the government for allowing such cars on the roads.
What does the cryptography add? RIRs publish who owns which prefixes, and sign this list. If you're America worried about foreign countries hijacking BGP, you can ignore announcements received from overseas about prefixes that are owned by American actors, unless they add a record indicating they expect to deploy them overseas. You don't need any additional cryptography for this, or any protocol change.
If you are defending against a nation state, you should be worried about your staff being bribed, otherwise coerced or worse just being foreign agents.
In properly run networks, BGP hijacks shouldn't have a noticeable impact.
I agree with the no, but you can make space itself rotate because things in space rotate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame-dragging

> What could have they possibly shown to the investors to get that kind of cash thrown at them?

Their founder has a track record of making his investors a lot of money while solving really hard, important problems.

Current valuations:

- Tesla $570B

- SpaceX $180B

- Neuralink $5B

- Boring $5.6B
Pretty sure there is a shared mentality between Tesla and SpaceX:

When Starship explodes: "this was a success, we learnt a lot along the way".

This is the same here, yes there is an accident, but at the end this was a success because:

1) The accident didn't happen, so the safety measures worked (the "human driver").

2) Once the fix is deployed, if you look in the long run, over 100 years, it won't happen again, so potentially hundreds of saved lives.

And Tesla can claim: "Hey this is the driver's fault anyway".

Main difference between SpaceX and Tesla is that it is the user paying at the end of the day.
> My point is MISRA, AUTOSAR, DO-178C and plenty of other ones, alongside the industry moving on into hardware memory tagging as the only means to fix C for such kind of security critical systems,

I dunno how relevant that is.

The argument was "Irresponsible to use C for critical systems"

The counterpoint is "Despite being the primary language for critical systems, negligible failures have been attributed to the language."

I'm basically saying this: How do you explain both that severe reaction to using C AND the historically negligible failure rate of the language itself?

Quite a few comments here in disbelief and hating on Musk.

For all the criticism of Elon, he has been foundational in Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX and OpenAI. Even if you think Tesla is troubled/overvalued, he has built multiple enormous companies, and one of a handful of people to have built a company into a $1T valuation (however fleeting).

So yes, the arithmetic for VCs is very straightforward: for better or for worse, Elon Musk is able to execute in the only way that matters to investors.

Overlooking the train is one thing, but overlooking the red flashing lights at the railway crossing that were clearly visible in the video is another thing entirely...
Lots of pumps do not have the built-in functionality to do that natively (they need to bypass the heating element as I understand it).

> I don't know how to square the elevation of the tolerance in the ottoman empire while at the same time decrying the apartheid within Israel's borders.

Well for starters I don’t test the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century and Israel in the 21st against the same standard. We’re not saying the Ottomans were great by a modern western standard, but compared to most of the west in their day they were quite good.
> Microsoft is very adamant the images are stored locally

But this is today (as in "at the literal moment the statement was made"). What about tomorrow?

History is plastered with examples of things companies were adamant about and as it turned out they either didn't keep their word for long or even it was a lie as it was spoken.

One day they'll decide it's for your own interest to share this data. Or a patch will accidentally sync it to the cloud. Or their model will be trained on your data. Or authorities start targeting this for obtaining way more data than otherwise needed. Or malware will use it as a treasure trove of info like never before. All of this keeps happening, I can't bring myself to believe this case in particular will break the mold.

Somewhat related. I've been looking at RPKI lately, and there are two things I'm not overly impressed with:

1. LACNIC and RIPE have 100 year validity on their trust anchors.

2. All RIR trust anchors are valid for all IPs (past their allocations), due to, I assume, inter-RIR transfers.
I think mandatory ip source checking would be a nice addition too for many ISPs that still don't, and now allow tons of crap spoofing DoS attack traffic.
