FSD is not ready. I'm a Model Y owner, tend to lean pro-Elon, and will gladly tell you that it's a fantastic car - but the self-driving is still not ready. My free month of autopilot made me trust it less. It's quite good at highway driving, but the phantom braking and haphazard lane changing has eroded my trust to the point that I am manually driving the car 100% of the time.

I prefer the previous pseudo-FSD which simply stayed in the current lane, and relied on human input for anything more than that. This whole FSD update has been a sobering realization that I really only want the safety features.
In the previous [flagged] submission, the author provided some comments about this project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40569686

In any case, the title is "large media brands" so urls like "nytimes.com" and "washingtonpost.com" are consistent with that theme but the "blocked_domains.txt" also has "apple.com" and "microsoft.com" which are not media publications. If the motivation was avoiding SEO spam when searching for reviews of "air purifiers", domains from non-media-publishers like Apple.com and Microsoft.com are not part of that problem.

If instead the author is really trying to block "any big companies" rather than just "big media", it seems other giant non-media companies like NVIDIA, Toyota, JPMorgan, etc would also be on there.
HEVC and AV1 is twice more magic. It keep the same quality to human eyes while reducing the bitrate by 50%.

HEVC is patent encumbered. Users who use old hardware don't have hardware decoder. So both requires more time to be adopted.

I don't dispute that people get used to driving, but I think arguing that "driving" requires the same amount of effort as "not driving" is a more specious claim

If you care about statistics, you would check those numbers, and find that they are basically bullshit.

Tesla does not release any verifiable data on FSD / Autopilot, and for a good reason (good for them).

At this point, I'd be surprised if ChatGPT has not yet given someone a response which caused them to make a mistake that resulted in a death.

We found out about the lawyers citing ChatGPT because they were called out by a judge. We find out about Google Maps errors when someone drives off a broken bridge.

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/21/us/father-death-google-gp...

For other LLMs we see mistakes bold enough that everyone can recognise them — the headlines about Google's LLM suggesting eating rocks and putting glue on your pizza (at least it said "non-toxic glue").

All it takes is some subtle mistake. The strength and the weakness of the best LLMs is their domain knowledge is part way between a normal person and a domain expert — good enough to receive trust, not enough to deserve it.

I expect they will excel at doing the kind of thing your average business can easily replace with a SaaS but nothing of consequence regarding scale, performance or complexity, because they won’t have had to reason those out.
That sounds interesting (analog addressing). Could you expound?
> Is Nvidia's CEO just saying this because Waymo doesn't buy GPUs from them?

Waymo works in limited places and relies on a ridiculous number of sensors. Have you seen one in real life with all its equipment? Surely that makes it less advanced or at less ambitious. Assuming something malicious about Nvidia’s CEO seems like a big leap.

The wobbly one where we try to shoehorn tech into use cases until it sort of fits.
Lmao how amny other companies do you buy products from that have shady business strategies or CEOs with unacceptable views? At least Elon doesn't hide it.
But that's exactly the point: there's no general rule for this kind of thing, it depends on the concrete situation. There are definitely stop signs where you need to do a full stop because you cannot see any oncoming traffic. Basically: it's OK to do rolling stops until it isn't.

Same goes for flashing headlights, these can mean different things, depending on the situation. It can mean: I see you, feel free to drive. It can also mean: what the hell are you doing? Or: you left your laptop on the car roof.

There is no surgery without risks but this FUD website caused me a lot of anxiety and had me to delay getting lasik.

I can without a doubt say it has been the best money I've ever spent. I spend a lot of time outdoors and hike and camp. Doing that with glasses or contacts absolutely sucks. Either your glasses get finger oil on them, or your contacts get some dirt and you have to take them out (but first you have to find clean water to wash your hands). I'm so much happier now.

Since then, a lot of friends and family members have also undergone the procedure, and none of them have had any problems, and all of them are extremely happy with the results.

edit: I had super dry eyes for the first 2-3 or so months (specially since I'm staring at the monitor all day), but that was expected and I was told about it by the doctor. Eye drops did the trick, and it went away completely after 6 months.
Are you attempting to fix it?

I am tempted to get a contact lense inserted into one eye to correct it.

I think I developed it as due to Lasik, but it only occurred in my left eye. My right eye is still good.
They're legally required to provide accurate accident data to the government, that's what these figures are based on

If you have information that Tesla is faking statistics it's giving to the government, you should make your evidence public
One thing I started paying attention to when I was dating in my 30's is how long was this persons longest previous relationship. Numbers like a year and a half is a bad sign. I suspect that's gender neutral.

What I've heard from women talking about men they've tried feeling out is a lot of them from the descriptions are trying to play outdated gender roles and doing a bad job of it. That'll just annoy a woman looking for a companionship based relationship. That speaks to me of stuff I've heard about Korea. Men expect a traditional marriage and women with jobs and money are having none of it.

Give it some time !

When the dust settles, it will certainly be taught in business schools. And Musk will be in prison (not for FSD specifically).

I watched the shareholders meeting yesterday - it was amazing. Elon repeated all the same things, he kept telling for the past 5 years at least, none of which is close to become a reality. And none was described in any tangible detail - all very vague promises.

As for FSD, autonomy and Robotaxis, one has to remember when it was announced and promoted - when Tesla was close to bankruptcy (per Elon himself).
It's not the same bikes, that's the point.
it's not surprising to me that the bosch mid-drives are failing, they're typically placed at an angle that catches all the run off from every tube at the lowest point on the bike (except on recumbents), and the controller is (usually) integrated.

mid-drives are great, the gear advantage rocks; the bosch units suck but unfortunately they had so much industry sway that a lot of ebike frames are coming out built around the unit -- which is absolutely unlike any other unit out there aside from vague similarities to the bafang units in the same range -- so it forces replacement with the same garbage, or a total re-engineer of the gear train; a big pain.

one thing to be said about the bosch unit : it looks sleek and it integrates well. This is likely a lot of the reason behind the mass adoption, aside from Bosch's presence itself.
Autonomously generated social media content sounds like creating negative value to me. It’s digital pollution that’s going to ruin the ecosystem.

It was easier in the old days, of course, and society had more rats when the rules were looser, just as old wooden buildings have more rats than concrete buildings. But there are rats in the building now as well. Now that society is all ferrocrete and stainless steel there are fewer gaps in the joints. It takes a very smart rat indeed to find these openings.

Ambition isn't the goal, self driving is. Who cares how many sensors it has as long as it works?
> I literally only use ChatGPT.

I also use Claude Opus for activities that need large context window. But the second a better alternative appears, most people will switch to it. Because - why not?

The market already stabilized somewhat - you can use lower quality models locally for simpler stuff and paid models (better quality in case of ChatGPT-4, larger context window for Claude Opus[0]) when you need something more advanced.

[0] I'm not sure what is the current status of Gemini Pro with 1M context window, but from what I heard it's too expensive for any practical use.
How come? Article doesn't seem to mention that. That Cube bike for 5k ain't British producer, manufacturer is german.
I’m actually a UNC grad so it breaks my heart too :-(

It’s really because (1) it costs $14/mo to add an instance currently (though my aforementioned cost saving measure can bring it down to $1/mo), and (2) I’m not sure whether to register https://tarheel.social, https://chapelboro.social, or what really. Each has specific connotations and it’s a bit weird with a college town (while Raleigh and Durham are more diverse cities).

If you’d be interested in partnering and standing an instance up, it’s AGPLed for exactly this reason :-) Feel free to DM me on Insta (@jons_difficult_truths), contact me via my GitHub above, or just reply here with your preferred medium if you’d be interested in talking about it over coffee/drinks!
My favorite part of these codecs is how the discrete cosine transform plays so well together with quantization, zig-zag scanning and entropy coding.

Modern silicon design with mems sensors I suspect could do an awful lot with a gram.

Also, at this scale, not much can be done by hand, so you can make hundreds of them for not much more cost than doing one.
Those 10% are going to matter when you have an established business case and you can start optimizing. The AI space is not like that at all, nobody cares about losing money 10% faster. You can not risk a 100% slowdown running into issues with an exotic platform for a 10% speedup.

I’m not sure how this adds any perspective beyond what’s said in the article?
> It's quite good at highway driving, but the phantom braking and haphazard lane changing has eroded my trust to the point that I am manually driving the car 100% of the time.

Elsewhere in this discussion someone noted that the latest FSD updates don’t apply to highway driving. I don’t own a Tesla and am not a fan of them due to the various privacy issues and reliance on touchscreen controls. But for what it’s worth phantom braking is an issue I have on my non Tesla cars with their driver assistance features. I’m not sure if it is worse on a Tesla, but anecdotally in my friend’s Tesla I was blown away by how comparatively advanced a Tesla feels.
I might be a customer for 1 and 3 if the cost wasn’t too high. I don’t want 4, would be uncomfortable giving a third party tool the ability to ruin my business.
Expressing yourself, but also changing oneself, exploring, and learning through the process.

I don’t see how this could go away because of AI. Art as a product is a different matter though.
Cube is not a very popular brand of ebikes in the Netherlands as far as I'm aware. Definitely not for city bicycles. Gazelle, Batavus, Cortina, Vogue, Azor, but Cube? Not so much.

No, they are not.

Tesla is pretty much the only car maker that does NOT provide data on autonomous car testing. It's not mandatory.

As for the concerns about the data accuracy, they are very much public now. Here is the latest ongoing NTHSA investigation into Tesla:

https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2022/INCR-EA22002-14496.pdf

Some quotes:

"Gaps in Tesla’s telematic data create uncertainty regarding the actual rate at which vehicles
operating with Autopilot engaged are involved in crashes. Tesla is not aware of every crash involving
Autopilot even for severe crashes because of gaps in telematic reporting. Tesla receives telematic
data from its vehicles, when appropriate cellular connectivity exists and the antenna is not damaged
during a crash, that support both crash notification and aggregation of fleet vehicle mileage. Tesla
largely receives data for crashes only with pyrotechnic deployment,2 which are a minority of police
reported crashes.3 A review of NHTSA’s 2021 FARS and Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) finds
that only 18 percent of police-reported crashes include airbag deployments."

"ODI uses all sources of crash data, including crash telematics data, when identifying crashes that
warrant additional follow-up or investigation. ODI’s review uncovered crashes for which Autopilot
was engaged that Tesla was not notified of via telematics. Prior to the recall, Tesla vehicles with
Autopilot engaged had a pattern of frontal plane crashes that would have been avoidable by
attentive drivers, which appropriately resulted in a safety defect finding.

Peer Comparison
Data gathered from peer IR letters helped ODI document the state of the L2 market in the United
States, as well as each manufacturer’s approach to the development, design choices, deployment,
and improvement of its systems. A comparison of Tesla’s design choices to those of L2 peers identified
Tesla as an industry outlier in its approach to L2 technology by mismatching a weak driver engagement
system with Autopilot’s permissive operating capabilities. "
Well, we, as developers, need to adapt to changing market conditions just like everyone else.

There is probably a reason why we hear very little about the political opinions of most Megacorp CEOs on a daily basis.

I'm sure I would agree with some of them and disagree with others but they are smart enough to not make that a center piece of their public persona.

Elon Musk decided on his own to

a) be a central marketing and PR channel of Tesla. He has everyone convinced that the company cannot thrive otherwise.

b) involve himself in hot button political discussions all around the globe (usually in a "hot-take-no-need-for-further-reasearch" manner).

c) buy a social media company while publicly lamenting the state of social media. At said social media he (again very publicly) instituted changes to align it with his political philosophy.

Whether one likes or dislikes his opinions, it is very clear that he wants to be seen as some kind of political influencer and that he bases some of his business decisions on this persona.

This is quite unusual and probably the sole reason people even think about the "frontmann" of the company when discussing the product
I’ve been doing a bit of (non e-bike) riding in poor weather of late, and it’s really surprising just how wet and dirty everything gets. After a wet road ride, every surface is covered in black, greasy dirt. It rots fabric, makes grinding paste in mechanical parts and generally makes everything worse. You need really good seals to keep that crap out.

I was born in England, live in London, have a Dutch partner, and also travel to the Netherlands often enough. I agree completely. They have their problems too (from the political to having to tap out on buses), but the overall level of quality and care seems rather higher. The sense of decline and disengagement is strong too. Difficult to say much objective about that (though keep an eye on the turnout in the upcoming general election), but I see it from all political persuasions.

The cult of hate seems a lot more like a cult than the alleged cult of personality. This post and comments like yours only make it more apparent.

I would use 308/307 over 301/302.

Semantically, using a 303 redirect might be the most appropriate signal for what they are doing.

They could redirect to a specific result page if it's a clear, unambiguous match and they could redirect to a search results page if there are other possible matches.

> I think we’ll see a general inability to monetize it even at the enterprise level.

Well, it depends. If you already have a lot of your own data, and can rent powerful hardware to train your model (and competent people do actually set up and manage the whole process), you can get a very powerful engine with interesting insights that will be relevant to you (and possibly to you only), with the effect probably proportional to how specific your data is. After the training phase, actually using the model doesn't need to be that expensive.
Thanks. And yes, I forgot to mention, here in Germany it as apparently also more costly than regular laser surgery.
I didn’t say ‘never’, these stories are generally exaggerated, for example:

“Investigators believed that the fuselage, with Vulović pinned inside, landed at an angle in a heavily wooded and snow-covered mountainside, which cushioned the impact”

Again incredible that she survived but she was inside some piece of plane which sounds like it both protected her and slowed her fall.

Wikipedia summarizes what I was getting at:

“Over the years, other skydivers have survived accidents where the press has reported that no parachute was open, yet they were actually being slowed by a small area of tangled parachute. They might still be very lucky to survive, but an impact at 130 km/h (80 mph) is much less severe than the 190 km/h (120 mph) that might occur in normal freefall”

It's weird how people keep calling this vaporware when it actually works, is active on roads, and is used by tens of thousands of people. That's the strangest usage of the term I've ever seen. Vaporware is the term used to describe products announced that never make it to market in any form.
Different bike brands, but the same motor is very common in NL as well. Never heard a lot of failures and e-bikes are absolutely everywhere.

One factor may be that in most of the UK biking is done on the road mixed with cars which may have more oil, sooth or other things in the water that gets on the bike, compared to dedicated bike lanes in the Netherlands. A lot of those lanes here aren't just a part of the same road, they're a few meters away from the road.

Another factor may be that there is more of a longer term bike culture, so more people know about simple bike maintenance (spray the chain etc) or have a bike shop around the corner.
Geolocked driverless cars are a major advance over FSD. Mercedes "glorified lane assist" is actually safe in well defined parameters, and gives you a well defined amount of time (10s?) to re-engage, with guaranteed fail-safe if you don't. FSD is... A tech demo?
I wish Friends was available dubbed in the language I'm learning (Hindi) - I know it well enough in English from repeated watching that I think it'd be the best thing I could do for my vocabulary and listening comprehension speed to watch it in Hindi.

There should be an app that pays people to dub popular shows in a broader way of language, charges viewers, and has some kind of sidebar or subtitle integration to hover/click and learn more, check what a word was and conjugation etc.

The focus on language learning would also allow the translators to make more appropriate choices for that use, whereas subtitles (and probably dubbing) for entertainment often has some variation that is confusing it to learn. I suppose that matters less if there's only one or the other, so no chance of conflict.
