Does this allow seeing how long an an employee was idle, or just whether they were in meetings?
Apple's compliance with the DMA has been painful to begin with. Instead of embracing the intended spirit of the regulation, they opted to be as difficult and as toxic as possible.

As a developer, I feel tired and exhausted from constantly having to battle with the platform giants just so that eventually we can find a way to co-exist on "their" platforms.
Interesting. From what to what? How many dpt +-, and how long did you stay there before starting your regimen?
A lot of people don't know that twitch started as justin.tv and was specifically a life streaming platform.
But as the article points out, you won't arrive fresher if you have to still stay alert, but with the addition of needing to anticipate the car randomly doing something crazy. I find it more stressful than driving myself.
"well before Elon revealed himself as the kind of person he really is"

Many of us knew that Elon was full of shit long before but until he started spewing his politics no one cared to listed to even respected industry experts. A sad state of affairs IMO.
> Frankly, I consider him the first hippie, an advocate for a lifestyle that didn’t even exist when he rose to fame.

Hippie-like movements have always popped up as an escape from authoritarian rule and oppression. Raoul Vaneigem frames this well in his book The Movement of the Free Spirit, about medieval and Renaissance heretical movements:

"He sees not only resistance to the power of state and church but also the immensely creative invention of new forms of love, sexuality, community, and exchange."
Do you mean that full paragraph is better? Strong disagree if so.
As far as I can tell, this does not allow the employer to see whether employees were idle or not. It does allow tracking of how much time they spent in meetings and how many chat messages they sent.
Dude, this is an ugly bird.
Yes the way humans negotiate with others in a split second just through eye contact or the way they break, or just one minor gesture of a hand is astonishing. People on the AI hype train should literally sit and write down how much complex problem solving through communication happens when two drivers engage non verbally.

Not only is self driving a mess on just a road level in a city like Deli or Rome, when they actually get to the numbers where communication with humans becomes vital because they're not just a blip in the traffic you're in for a whole other hell of problems to solve.

'The big problem is water': UK ebike owners plagued by failing motors
Being able to fix your errors and improve over time until there are basically no errors is what humans do, so far all AI models just corrupt knowledge they don't purify knowledge like humanity did except when scripted with a good value function from a human like AlphaGo where the value function is winning games.

This is why you need to constantly babysit todays AI and tell it to do steps and correct itself all the time, because you are much better at getting to pure knowledge than the AI is, it would quickly veer away into nonsense otherwise.
The Waymo cars drive themselves without (in person) supervision. As best as I can tell from three rides, they do it perfectly. However the range is limited to city streets in a few cities, no interstates at all (they are adding this soon.) The Tesla FSD even at v12 can go about five minutes before I have to intervene. If you’re extremely tolerant and don’t care what other drivers think (eg weird slow behavior at stop signs, sudden rapid bursts of acceleration in inappropriate places, turn signal decisions that a human driver wouldn’t make) I bet you could push it up to 10 or 15 minutes without intervention. I don’t have enough courage to genuinely let FSD loose on city streets without intervening.

More generally, Waymo’s approach is to own the hardware and heavily supervise it with remote workers who can instruct it how to deal with complicated situations (eg lane blocked by emergency vehicle.) Tesla has none of that infrastructure yet. It’s sort of hard for me to see a business model where (1) the user owns the hardware, (2) there are necessary remote human beings monitoring and advising the car in sticky situations (that costs money), and (3) a third party company takes on the liability risk. The idea that you’re going to “rent out” your personal car during the day runs into the question of who pays when someone gets killed/hurt, and that immediately runs into the question of how a remote operator deals with the problem of malfunctioning hardware it doesn’t own (and why it needs to borrow other folks’ personal hardware at all.)
If ChatGPT emits a fragment of code that doesn’t compile, a developer can simply undo and try again.

No such luxury is granted to the driver using FSD who has just collided with another vehicle.
Why would it take a wrong turn if it knows your commute?
FSD is worse than autopilot, and makes autopilot worse. When you enable FSD, it turns on the cabin camera and applies the same driver attention standard to autopilot. Autopilot is really good! But if FSD is on, it becomes next to useless. You actually have to look at the road all the time!
there has been a rise of "open"-access and freeware software/services in this space. see hugging face and certain models tied to accounts that accept some eula before downloading model weights, or weird wrapper code by ai library creators which makes it harder to run offline (ultralytics library comes to mind for instance).

i like the value they bring, but the trend is against the existing paradigm of how python ecosystem used to be.
> sleep and wake that works

That’s not Windows.
Sure, there are many use cases and Netflix generally has streams with high quality and few artifacts.

Real time video communications are going to go for fast low bitrates and that's more or less expected.

In other cases where encoders have no real time constraint, eg pirate torrents and youtube alternate versions, there are multiple tiers of quality - for a given resolution (say 720p) and bit rate rate | file size the offerings can be split by time spent encoding, quick and shitty to slow and few visible quirks.
I guess the difference is ChatGPT is less likely to cause death if it makes a mistake.

Users generally have time to decide if the output ChatGPT provides is accurate and worth actioning.
The thing I've been most amazed at about FSD is that there hasn't been any sort of lawsuit around FSD refunds.

There are people who paid thousands to tens-of-thousands of dollars for a promise that their car would eventually have "full self driving".

A not-insignificant portion of those people have lost any chance at actually getting FSD, whether by their car being totaled in an accident, or having sold it, or such, without ever seeing working FSD.

As far as I know there's no way to get a refund, and people very obviously didn't get "full self driving" as advertised by Elon, so it really does seem like some people paid for a promise that turned out to be nothing... which sounds like lawsuit material to me.

There have also been multiple public promises that FSD would be delivered in a matter of years (like in 2016, the promise that "by the end of next year, FSD will take you across the country safely while you sleep").

If anyone bought FSD due to believing those promised timelines, that also seems like it would be a pretty strong case for a refund to me.
It’s not Linux either.
to me it goes beyond that. many leetcode grinders swear by specific data structures such as hashmaps, which python makes available as dictionaries.

behind the sytax, there is plenty of heavy lifting for writing sophisticated code, when need be. that surely helps with the network effect.
> The author of this article doesn't understand how continuous improvement in software works

And I don't think that you understand it either. In the real world, all exponentials are just the early part of an s-curve. Everything has limits, reaches diminishing returns and tops out.

If a technique is already topping out, there won't be great leaps in performance without fundamental changes. An incremental "update" won't do it at that point in the curve.

You can pick examples from several hyped technologies today that are going to work properly and change the world "real soon now".
You mean, the high interest landscape made corpos and investors alike cry out in a loud panic while coincidentally people figured out they could scale up deep learning and thus we had a new Jesus Christ born for scammers to have a reason to scam stupid investors by the argument we only need 100000x more compute and then we can replace all expensive labour by one tiny box in the cloud?

Nah, surely Nvidia's market cap as the main shovel-seller in the 2022 - 2026(?) gold-rush being bigger than the whole French economy is well-reasoned and has a fundamentally solid basis.
But "works in limited cases" is absolutely not enough, given what it promises. It drove into static objects a couple of times, killing people. Recent videos still show behavior like speeding through stop signs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGOo06xzCeU&t=990s

Meaning that it's really not reliable enough to take your hands off the wheel.

Waymo shows that it is possible, with today's technology, to do much much better.
> In December 2015, Musk predicted that "complete autonomy" would be implemented by 2018. At the end of 2016, Tesla expected to demonstrate full autonomy by the end of 2017, and in April 2017, Musk predicted that in around two years, drivers would be able to sleep in their vehicle while it drives itself. In 2018 Tesla revised the date to demonstrate full autonomy to be by the end of 2019.

And this goes on for a bit longer up to the present day.

After close to a decade of failed promise again and again and again I think we can safely dismiss the "perhaps a bit too optimistic" good-faith defence.

But hey, maybe this time it's just around the corner, cross my heart hope to die. And maybe the rapture will be upon us next year like that guy is preaching on the street corner (for real this time – last chance to repent sinners!)
Image segmentation is almost a solved problem. There is no reason why it should get confused even with a vision only system. Their problem is most likely that they don't have enough compute to process a history of frames and instead process a single image at a time leading to jumps in the segmentation results and those random jumps cause unpredictable braking.
I am comparing the maximum quality available. I don't much care that today's 1300kbps video looks better than 2009's 1300kbps video. I care that they used to offer higher quality, and now they don't. I am not bitrate-limited, or at least my bitrate limit is higher than youtube would ever consider going.

What matters is the bitrate, and they're being overly stingy on bitrate.

Hmmm. I guess it is this way for a lot of people. Although, this is not usually my experience. I think it's because high stress physically exhausts me, so I sleep like a rock afterward.

But (some stressful relationships aside) I've never really experienced chronic traumatic stress, like living in a warzone, where as I'm going to sleep I have to worry about my physical safety. Now that would most definitely wreck my sleep.
I'm not denying that that's what the webpage says but the page says also it's from 2015 so almost a decade old. We have more data now.
I disagree. If things had moved in the same trajectory as the last decades a decline of the current system seemed inevitable. So why not use that power while you still have it.

Also considering the state of most BRICS countries, it does not seem so certain that there will be viable alternatives to the current system.

Seen this discussion before.

Musk claims that Tesla will announce fully autonomous driverless taxi mode on August 8th.

That's "announce", not "ship". If this were anywhere near close to happening, there would be test vehicles all over the place, like Waymo and Cruise. There would be press reports.
In reality, Tesla has an autonomous vehicle test license in California from the DMV and reports zero miles driven.
You are severely underestimating how much of regular traffic problems are unsolved and far from being solvable with current tech. It's not 1% or 0.1%, it's probably closer to 5% or more if you include all year round conditions and countries with less car-friendly roads than the USA.
When I see a Tesla, I think of Elon. When I see another car I don't think of whoever the CEO is, because I don't know who that is. For better or worse, Tesla=Elon in most people's eyes. He had made himself the figurehead, and is an extremely divisive figure. I didn't like feeling that I was implicitly supporting him whenever I got into my car.

Yes, what is also important is that in many cities you often need to drive with a bit of... let's say "confidence", otherwise you will never leave your current spot. When you try to enter a busy street, you sometimes JUST NEED TO GO, trusting the oncoming traffic will slow down if needed. Sometimes a nice person will flash headlights to let you know it's OK, but I'm pretty sure FSD will not be able to notice that...

Also, even in rule-abiding Germany, some traffic laws are seen more relaxed than others. For instance, the law says that at a stop sign, you need to come to a full stop, but you will see that most drivers don't do that but just drive very slowly (if that...). Likewise, the law says to keep 1,50m distance from bikes and motorcycles, but in the above mentioned narrow streets, that would also often mean that you will not move at all for a long time. I would guess that FSD would need to abide by traffic laws just for regulatory purposes, and that would make you look like an idiot in many cities...

That's not even to speak of countries where traffic laws in general are more like suggestions...

It is pretty boring. Where I would blame Microsoft, there needs to be an easier way to setup AD, AAD, ADFS, without having a bunch of people be domain and global admins, like out of the boxed roles and better gui. Every ad deployment I’ve ever worked in is insecure due to complexity of secure deployment. So people running it are going to be logging in domain admin /ga to do basic crap like add a new hire.
Take the example in the article. What if the car had taken that first right turn it tried to but couldn’t then correct due to traffic.

I'm closer to syndicalism, but unorganised since I'm in a position of leadership.

It's weird to phrase it as "Swedes rejected", when it was the labour buyer's cartel that bused people to the demonstration in Stockholm, and the Social Democrats polled quite high after LAS and the general parental insurance. The string of wildcat strikes at the time didn't affect their polling performance.

It was newspaper scandals that won that election, things like the Pomperipossa story, Ingmar Bergman being investigated for tax fraud and leaving the country, a union leader lounging on the beach in Franco's Spain, things like that. And, of course, mythmaking of the sort you're engaging in here, claiming that reformism is actually bolshevism and whatnot.

While I welcome the effort going into improving the lifetimes experience in Rust, this also kind of reflects that the approach being taken by other languages, meaning keeping automatic memory management by default, and only enough affine/linear typing support for when performace really, really matters, is a more productive approach.

Examples of that approach, D, Swift, Chapel, Linear Haskell, OCaml Effects.

The changes on the article, while welcomed in the context of Rust typesystem, will make being aware of all borrow check rules even more complex, and back into language lawyers kind of C++ developer experience, unless backed up by IDE tooling, on when to write what suggestions.
Right. Scary stuff. I'm not excited to drive a cheap second-hand ICE car, but the fanciness stops at AC and 3.5 mm AUX-jack on the stereo, and that's pretty nice. If I wanted to I could do service and repairs myself.

You do realise that waymo doesn't have drivers in their cars anymore? How about you do research on Tesla's competitors? Having a driver intervene is several orders of magnitude less advanced. Easily more than a decade away from the goal of self driving.

You can build a geofenced area that spans every single road in the USA so the fact that something is geofenced tells you absolutely nothing.

> they could use this information to skip to user-supplied timestamps correctly

If that information is available, it can be gathered by adblockers to guesstimate how the video has been offset, and then you're back to square one.

If "clean" videos are still available (which they likely will be via youtube premium), you still have a reference of how the video should look, so you can start tagging suspicious sections as soon as they are categorically avoided by the youtube "timestamp fixer".

Sure, it will become harder as the frequency of mangled videos increase, worst case every single user will get their unique rendered video, but I think the performance hit on youtube would be immense, because AFAIK you cannot simply cut together separate video streams, even if they are aligned in encoding, resolution and everything beforehand, because it will break keyframes and create artifacts unless transcoded.

If the frequency is relatively low (say, one video per nation or US state) then adblock efforts can just adapt, the existing sponsorblock implementation could probably still work with some modifications.
We were having a record breaking heat wave in the UK, we joked that see even Jenkins can't cope with the heat all builds are failing
It was not uncommon to get transient failures so no one looked into it, it was too hot, in the UK we are not used to dealing with that.
Eventually someone did look into it, there was some little used functionality in our platform which queried a weather API, someone had written a unit test that used the real live API and set the expected temperature value to be lower than the record high temperature in London, so our pipelines really had been broken by the hot weather.

UBlacklist is great at blocking search results from various search engines. We could import domains from this list in that. As others mentioned, not all sites are correct here though.

You mentioned the article about 16 media companies. What would have been really useful if you made a table/list of each media company and it's domains.

When I read the Housefresh article, I googled all dotdash meredith sites and blocked them using UBlacklist. Didn't have enough energy to find the other 15 company sites.
