We just started doing this and it was awesome to start but slowly I could tell people started becoming disinterested. We are contemplating another round which I think will be the deciding factor.
I think if you know the domain well, it's not "premature" at all.
The schema you expose can do that afaik.
> This is a result of Tesla’s strategy to rely upon Tesla Vision to replace all sensors – which they’ve successfully used most recently to replace the ultrasonic parking sensors (USS) on their vehicles. Tesla believes that vision is the solution to achieving all self-driving capabilities, and this includes the elimination of extraneous sensors such as USS and radar.

Why are they so hell-bent on using nothing but video?
I love Utrecht. It's a wonderful city to live in and it's what Amsterdam claims to be in the tourist brochure. There are wonderful coffee shops like the village, bicycle shops like repack, microbrewery like de krommerharring, there's a nice collection of restaurants, and I can walk basically everywhere I don't actually need a bike. If you are bored in the weekend you can take a kayak and float around the canals. And when I do ride, it's less than ten minutes before you get out of the city into trails in the forest or roads. And it's only a 60km ride to the beach if that's your sort of thing. Utrecht is a happy place to live.
I want to see real time air quality data for where I live, is there an actual map?
> If these guys can do it, remind me again how Tor is secure because nobody could possibly be able to follow packets from your machine, through the onion hops, to the exit node where the same packet is available unencrypted...

You're supposed to be protected by the fact that you're going through multiple nodes before exiting TOR, and traffic should be mixed. Can you find some streams if you have most/all the nodes within your network and can analyze the traffic? Probably some, but the more traffic a node handles the harder it would be.

There is a simpler approach though, which is to just run exit nodes.[1]

There's totally an easy fix. Buy a squirt gun, and shoot your windshield near the camera whenever you need a wipe.

Edit: ooh, better yet, make a magnetic hood ornament with a squirt gun and a camera pointing at the lower half of the windshield... add GPT4o and Bob's your uncle!
Can you read them? Speech to text perhaps. That can also be done locally.

If a note's a minute, 1000 notes are around 16 hours of reading. Scale time needed depending on if it takes less or more than a minute to read. Add a note reference to the start of each recording, like a zettelkasten, so the scanned file, recording and text cross-reference.

If assessing other solutions, that's at least an upper bound on the cost of any other solution.
Elon’s belief that humans doing it with vision is proof it can be done with video
The issue was not finding the libraries code. The issue was the churn. So one day, you have a (in my case, small) set of libraries to get things going. Then 2 years after, compilation issues as they all have different requirements. So you have to find another common intersection between them and the node/react-native versions. I should have vendored some in the project.

In Android, libraries are much stabler. Deprecated functions are picked by the IDE and an alternative is often presented in the comments. I'd much prefer to have big libraries (as we have tree-shaking) especially when dealing with frameworks instead of the bazillion packages when trying to do anything with npm.
> 700 000 individuals in Finland

That would be a very large amount of 'local areas' with the contaminant no?

You could also argue that it could be that it's a quasar pointing at them which is causing it, at some point you have to use Occam's razor and say that the correlation and causation are, in fact, related.

Seems to be a bit of cope in the comments because of what these results would imply for certain demographics. Otoh, contagion of ideas like scientology, other cults and other maladaptive behaviours are completely accepted.
Makes their jobs a lot easier, effective, more believable, etc.

Does it? Troll factories with authentic humans exist for at least a decade. They cost dirt cheap compared to a regime’s budget. There’s no problem with creating a network of bs, the problem is how to make it relevant.

people will have absolutely no idea what truth really is

We already have no idea. The only things that are true are fundamental human motivations. You can’t miss too far starting from there. Once you get that point of view, everything becomes so clear, despite missing details.
Right?! Cataclysm DDA is the first thing I think of when I think roguelike. And then someone says Slay the Spire is roguelike because, I dunno, you progress in ability. I suppose I'm just too old.
I would not get too concerned about AI entirely replacing you - focus on getting a job and learning how to code without just asking ChatGPT for code and copy pasting it blindly. You should definitely use AI tools, but only to help you learn or to do something you already know faster, not as a crutch.

ChatGPT and friends is definitely a good tool to get snippets, like Stack Overflow, just make sure to understand what you get, just don't copy / paste blindly.
All for the low low price of M$ screen shotting everything I do.

Correlation over causation. The study actually notes,

“One plausible mechanism is the normalization of mental disorders through increased awareness and receptivity to diagnosis and treatment when having individuals with diagnosis in the same peer network.”

Thus the study uses “transmission” in a specific technical sense of greater likely of diagnosis, not literally that you can catch a mental disorder from a peer where none existed before.
considering that this is an experimental hack, I don't think it's reasonable to get this hung up on semantics or to throw accusations. especially over a term as close to meaningless as this.

it scales to zero and manages its own computer resources, that's a lot closer than a lot of "serverless" products ever get
You’re right about Elon but I’ve thought about it and it’s flawed reasoning. Humans don’t do it “with vision” we do it with five senses and the human brain. The computer is severely limited compared to the human brain, so in the context of things like LiDAR, the computer needs all the help it can get. And for rain sensing, the camera doesn’t see the windshield like a person does!
Often you don’t know the consequences. This is sometimes a reason to live by self-imposed rules, because there are risks and they can’t easily be calculated.

FTX had consequences, but people had a very hard time predicting them for some reason.
If you're just buying pallets of random returns, removing one category of items from that random pallet may not even devalue the pallet for that customer either. Heck, it might even make the pallets more valuable to have less variety in them (after all, the stroller-only pallets became more valuable when they are stroller-only).
This is a great write-up. I was already aware of most of the drawbacks that the author wrote about in the early days of GraphQL... Another category of solutions which was ignored completely is CRUD with field-granularity over WebSockets.

I've built platform which does just that: https://saasufy.com/

This approach has allowed me to create a library of highly generic components which can be composed into surprisingly complex front ends and where all data updates in real time (in a targeted, efficient and scalable way): https://github.com/Saasufy/saasufy-components?tab=readme-ov-...

You can build just about any front end you can imagine just by assembling these components. Almost no code needed. It takes me hours to build web applications which would take weeks or months to build. The real time update features come free. The dev experience is essentially bug free; any 'bugs' you may encounter have clear visual symptoms which can be 'debugged' by observing the HTML DOM.

I'm currently observing people getting hyped up over HTMX and it's kind of funny to realize that developers do actually like the declarative approach... And yet they're going in the wrong direction again. Just as they did with GraphQL.

It would have been impossible to do this with GraphQL because field-granularity/autonomy is essential. GraphQL queries combine different resources and fields together in complex ways and this makes it impossible to efficiently avoid real time update conflicts on the front end.
COPY (SELECT * FROM view_name) TO 'output.csv' (HEADER, DELIMITER ',');
What troubles have you had with debugging row level security? It has worked very well for me, I've not had issues debugging it. And what do you mean with making a query type safe? Type safety is built in to GraphQL, if you send in the wrong datatype for an input the query will be rejected without even hitting the database.
I am just pointing out that it is easy to make mistakes like this which would be, in this commenters experience, more obvious with a REST API.

In the equivalent REST API you would probably have to go far far out of your way to expose users order information in a reviews API, whereas in graphql that is the default.

In a typical REST application, it is enough to ask "does this user have permission to take this action".

In graphql, the question is rather different. It is "does this user have permission to access this data irrespective of the action they are taking", and you have to both ask that question and answer it correctly for everything in your graph.
It feels to me like another one of Elon's stubborn whims. Sometimes these result in great innovations, like Tesla's giant car part 'gigacasting'. Other times, they result in deciding to rename Twitter "X" and forcing a team of engineers to spend over a year combing meticulously through the codebase to remove all references to "twitter.com"
AI Overviews: About last week
Yes, it doesn't have much to do with the rogue anymore (except a few games). These days, the meaning is along the lines of "the game consists of many repeating runs, each one being reasonably short like 0.5-1h, failure is normal, you will progress in many different ways both within each run and globally even if you fail, there will be a predominant effect of randomness, there may be some exploration effect".

Nope nope nope.

Any time we find more efficiency, we can trade it for more quality by doing more compute. We'll always use as much compute as we can afford, until we stop getting quality gains that are worth the added cost.
I'm starting to feel like the Thinking Machines CM-1 was 40 years ahead of its time.
> If I can spend $X to take in $5x over the month, you should do that.

indeed, but the point was that the $5x is not known in advance, and in fact, might even be an emphemeral figure.

Buying the right chair and desk for your height is not a luxury, but buying something expensive, when a cheaper version, which would've done the same job, is available, is to me the definition of luxury.
Alternatively: it’s a cost cutting measure and the “humans can do it with vision” is essentially a marketing spin.
Regarding the gigacasting: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-...
It looks like RDMA is kind of like IP4, in the sense that it wasn't originally designed with security in mind. Was this vulnerability a big deal when the paper was submitted in 2022, or more a case of doing cool research on a protocol vulnerability? The attack scenario looks pretty limited:

"We consider an adversary that is on one of the endpoints of the victim connection (i.e., it is co-located with either the NVMe-oF target or client). The attacker is an unprivileged user and is assumed to have obtained access to the machines using legitimate means. We assume that the attacker shares the same physical RNIC as the NVMe-oF entity and both can use it for communication. We assume that the attacker and the NVMe-oF entity are not separated through RNIC virtualization. The TLU model is prevalent in private clusters that use RDMA and NVMe-oF to accelerate their workloads."

An attacker is pretty deep into your infrastructure if they can even get a whiff of your storage fabric like this.
I think they falsely believe human only needs one sense to navigate: sight. But we actually use our hearing, smell, and touch too. So, multiple type sensors is actually better than only one.
I don't mind most of the common Tesla complaints, but this one I can agree with 100%.

The auto-wipers work ridiculously bad for me and it would be a non-issue if they had just used a dedicated $2 part, like everyone else does.

It is a good example of how the 'use nothing but computer vision for everything' dogma is stupid.

In the end it's not a big problem for me, I just use manual wipers, the same as I did on my previous, rather old car. But it's dumb.
You fit right into this: https://www.businessinsider.com/ceos-often-have-psychopathic...
Autowiper sensors are some of the simplest, well understood technology around. You place an infrared led at a low angle to the windshield, you place an ir collector so the light from the LED hits it. (Remember that at shallow angles, light reflects off glass.)

When water is on the sensor, the angle of refraction and reflection change, and the ir collector suddenly sees much less light.

Two components, plus a microcontroller. Usually two such sensors are on the windshield. Absolutely dead simple and cheap.

Why the fuck would you replace that with a camera trying to parse video?! That's so much more complicated. That's like trying to determine vehicle speed from a camera rather than sensors on the tires or whatever.
I feel the same way about Logitech wireless mice. They have a USB port, only for charging. Agh!
Guessing, but the cheapest sensor is the one you already have installed.
I could be armchair astronomying wrong here - but something that blows my mind: this image represents 6.2 arcminutes across in the field of view, that's 10x smaller than the size of Andromeda in the night sky. Imagine what's behind Andromeda!?
Considerably more than five senses, actually. We rely on a huge variety of inputs beyond the basic ones when we drive.
I actually find it a relief that a startup is disrupting the industry, where Boeing, Northrop and others are less productive and more expensive.
I can confirm the support experience, although we're not currently using R2. We are an Enterprise customer and have been trying since May 8th to get a downed Worker fixed (ticket filed as, "urgent"). Still no progress/response from level 2 support.
You missed out the bit where I explained the context and object of an 'emotional' outburst. I removed 'breakdown' too. You're doing what I saw as emphasising just one part of what happened for the biggest headline. But yes, somewhat pedantically, you're right to describe both anger and frustration as emotional. The point is the 'emotional breakdown' is used originally (in press reports) as an attempt to enflame a not so enflamed event. Footage of an event will often lend itself to various interpretations from different viewers.
Vision would make sense... if the cameras were placed back where the driver actually sits.
You accused a story teller of only doing it for the clout.
> How I see a bunch of people use GraphQL is as a 1:1 map to a relational model beneath it.

Yeah I've had trouble with some devs misunderstanding this, this seems to be the source of "omg you can run arbitrary queries" (especially if they've never used GraphQL.

You can't do anything that the GraphQL schema doesn't specify - it's not open ended SQL and joins.
If you haven’t given some serious thought to getting rid of most of the documents then consider it. There is very little need to keep most routine documents for more than a few years. If you think you need your electric bill for March 2006 at your fingertips, why?
For anyone curious, Technology Connections has a good video on how traditional automobile rain sensors work:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLm7Q92xMjQ
Isn't gigacasting awful for the consumer? Can't replace most parts, have to replace the expensive gigacast?
Fully agree - also it’s a bit weird on Tesla’s part to think that there could be no possible way to make things better than a human in some regards. If humans had radar, it would probably make us more capable, not less.
That article states that they are retracting to their previous method of gigacasting.

The one that other carmakers are starting to use too, inspired by Tesla.
Generally, consumers buying from businesses are more protected than consumers buying from consumers.
TBH, I hate auto wipers and have always believed them to be a tech solution looking for a problem.

Never once have I been in rainy weather and thought "gee, what should I do?". I currently have a car with auto wipers (I'm not sure but I think they use the "standard" infrared sensor to detect rain) and I find them worse than manual, intermittent wipers in every way. I think the biggest problem is that the wipers tend to only go on when water is flowing down the windshield. But we get a lot of "misty" rain where I live, where the small drops will stick in place for some time. So my windshield will become covered with drops and difficult to see through before the wipers turn on, and since the car doesn't let me control the speed for intermittent wipers manually (there is just "high" and "low") I find myself manually hitting the wiper button every ten seconds or so.

I know this may seem like "Old man yells at cloud" (literally), but it's just a huge pet peeve of mine when the lower tech solution works great only to be replaced by something more complicated that does the job worse.
this is a slice of a tiny, tiny, tiny piece of space in a particular spectrum.

Also, relative motion is a thing. It's easier to bin a lot of images from distant, stationary objects than to do so for "nearby" moving objects.

If you google "why can't we image the Moon with hubble"

You'll find a lot of better answers like https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/jd83ue/why_is_i...

Other funky reasons: long exposure images through small slices of the sky can have less noise than "larger" chunks nearby, that are moving. Nearby objects need to deal with things like the zodiacal light, gegenshein, astroids, the glare of the Sun and reflections off of planets and a number of other things, as well as the glare of stars, which there are many more of in larger fields of view than 6 arc minutes.

A bad analogy:

this is imaging a gnat through a empty space in a square of a screen door. What you want to see is a bear through Gauze.
That is a reasonable argument that it is likely to be theoretically possible. It’s absolute madness to jump from “theoretically possible” to production without actually inventing and testing the technology. What is going on over there at Tesla? I suspect an emperors new clothes type of situation where employees are too terrified to state basic facts, like “we tested 20 ideas out but none worked, we haven’t figured out how to get this to work yet.” Not the kind of culture I want designing a 2 ton vehicle I’m trusting my families lives to.
Is there an aftermarket addon from anyone to route around this problem?

I spend loads of time on LoB apps, still rocking Apache prefork to CGI. Does it scale? Sure, to all 3200 users company wide. Everything it's boring. Caching? Never got in the Memcache vs Redis fight later. 10yr after that? We picked Redis for the case where it had proven to kick ass.

Did you know that PHP5.4 apps can still generate profit in 2024?
Were you specifically looking at the "News+" tab in the News app? As far as I can recall nothing in there should have ads -- WSJ has some annoying boxes asking you to subscribe with them that are quite close to ads, but they aren't 3rd party advertising at least. By default I think the app will take you to the "Today" tab, which presents recent news from News+ sources and ad-supported sources alike.

Apple definitely needs to do a better job communicating this, it's not at all obvious from the description of the News+ subscription.

Don’t give him any ideas
They do, though my experience was it wasn’t really a comparable experience to app-accessed ChatGPT. Of course, you do have many more models to choose from, but I’m pretty sure I’m inclined to just align on one.

I will admit I never saw the custom instructions option though, which would have covered pre-prompting.
He should test the PH of his morning urine. Excess acidity, as in a low PH buffer is what drives tooth decay. If he can improve is diet with ph raising fruits and vegetables he may slow the process down for these new technologies to mature.
Another tip is diy mouthwash. Take poultry seasoning and steep it like tea and strain after 20 minutes. Put itvin a glass bottle, keep it in the fridge and let a serving warm up before tooth brush time in the evening. It really can lower plaque. First tip from a holstic dentist, second is mine.
Humans do it with variable focus vision. The Tesla cameras are permanently focused at infinity.
> Tesla now focusing more on developing self-driving vehicles than on pushing for huge growth in EV sales volume, which many investors had been counting on.

Yep, don't count on Tesla for replacing fossil fuel cars. They had a good headstart but hopefully other manufacturers will now take its place to fill growing demand
Show HN: Explore Websites by Chosen Color
I crawled lots of websites and extracted their color palettes (primary, secondary, etc) to build a searchable collection of website colors!

It was a fun side-project and I learned a lot about color theory. Let me know what you think and what features you would like to see :)

If you have any questions about the tech behind it, feel free to ask in the comments. Feedback is also greatly appreciated.
Not sure it is 'awful', it doesn't solve the underlying problem. But could be temporary solution amongst a lot of bad options if/when things get bad enough for people to generally wake up and need to do something fast.

Lets say a few more decades go by, we make no progress on 'non-awful' options.

Then suddenly we get a summer where a few 10k's or millions die, and suddenly politicians/public are like 'wow, guess this is real after all, lets do something. Guess we can start spreading sulfur around pretty quickly'.

Wouldn't be surprised if this happens, and then we over-compensate and create an ice age.
> That's like trying to determine vehicle speed from a camera rather than sensors on the tires or whatever.

Don’t give him any ideas. Seems like he has the “not built here” complex
I get it, he’s trying to do everything in software (with the existing cameras), since software is “cheap” and can do anything in theory.

Unfortunately they keep showing how they’re in over their head with some of these features (like FSD). But it’s fine because their customers agree to keep beta testing while they figure things out on production cars.
