I love how we beat down tech workers' self-confidence and called them weird, and now we're charging out the ass for a button-up, jeans, and sneakers to take advantage of that of that vulnerability.

It would be different if the entire fashion and clothing industry weren't completely terrible about exploiting labor and doing stupid things like selling ripped T-shirts for hundreds of dollars.

I look forward to never judging anyone based on the clothes they were just so I can justify my own purchases and insecurity.

Cheap jeans and T-shirts for life.
I think any talk of anti-discrimination falls way too far behind the bar.

Privacy is an incredibly basic and fundamental right. If there is any provision for data collection without consent ("AI" or otherwise), then that right is violated. No amount of "guardrails" can recover that violation.

My car's accelerator doesn't disengage when the breaks are pressed. I've never owned a vehicle that behaves like that. If my car was smart enough to sometimes disengage the throttle when I have then break also engaged I can't see a case where this would be less safe than never doing it. If I was intentionally trying to wreak my car or do some weird stunt by simultaneously engaging the break and throttle and the car sometimes tried to stop me I guess it would be annoying.

Right. Your brakes should always overpower your throttle, electric, ICE, whatever.

I have to be very delicate with my brakes around town, because 15" ventilated disc brakes are great for high performance, but VERY grabby.

But at least I feel confident that they'll stop me (and keep me stopped) very quickly.

Yes, that is convenient. But it's an abstraction you don't always need, but still always pay for.

That's why I would suggest that were possible the kernel should only expose something at most as high level as UDP, and we build the TCP abstractions on top of that in user level. Of course, you wouldn't want to re-write everything from scratch all the time: you'd use libraries.

The nice thing about user level libraries is that you can swap them out for better versions or for different abstractions without any privileged access.

I mean, here's Tesla's response:

>We have reviewed logs and due to the terrain the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed

Can it be clearer than that?

They literally say that the Cybertruck may continue pressing on the gas pedal while the driver is slamming the brake pedal. That's, like, the first thing they tell you not to do.

Additionally, the engine being able to overpower the brakes while stationary (or close to that) is not something that you commonly see in automobiles. As in: I'm not aware of any other vehicle with brakes designed that badly.

As a cherry on top, the steering wheel was also non-operational during the incident. Which is surely an innovation in drive-by-wire implementations.
Which part of this specific report do you believe is inaccurate?
And I'm sure the content itself is far better too. I hate to admit it since normally I trash Apple, but they've been making some really great shows lately: Silo, Foundation, etc. What has Netflix produced? The Ark?

It's hands-down the absolute worst sci-fi I've ever seen in my life, and that includes all the terrible stuff from the 70s I've seen.)
I think, if someone is holding down both the accellerator and brakes, there is only one safe resolution of that dillemma. And it’s the one that doesn’t involve the car turning into a ballistic projectile.

People will be people, so any other option seems like the height of arrogance.
There’s a good Darknet Diaries podcast episode that interviews someone with hands on experience with this, and the efforts he went through to conceal his identity while shipping large volumes of illicit USPS packages: https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/132/

Sorry, I didn't literally mean n+1. What I mean is probably better described by 'head of line blocking'.

Basically, when transmitting a file, in principle you could just keep sending n+k, even if the n-th package hasn't been received or has been dropped. No matter how large k is.

You can take your sweet time fixing the missing packages in the middle, as long as the overall file transfer doesn't get delayed.
Right - it's how Audi's "pseudo" launch control works. Push the brake pedal to the floor. Push the accelerator to the floor, and then push it past a last detente while the ECU holds it at 3500rpm and builds up the turbo boost, and then you can release the brake.

You can feel that the brakes are what's holding you, but never do you feel that they're about to fail and you're about to floor ~520hp unexpectedly.
Then how are burnouts accomplished?
> Imagine telling the homeowner to recover damage from their insurance company.

That is exactly how these things work in the US.

Interesting take, but what exactly are you talking about here? You are asserting that some people are lying but who? On what basis? Is this really as big a problem as you are making it out to be? (In the context of nerd platform wars?)

Your first response is ironic considering that the first article that I posted didn't take a position on how the past was relatively better, yet you referred to both as being "rosy retrospection", which doesn't make any sense, since that article is not taking a side that the past was better, but only showed that successive generations of children in an area had progressively smaller ranges that they were allowed to wander from the home. This is precisely why I asked, since it makes absolutely no sense to call it "rosy retrospective", yet you lazily blanketed both articles with the term, showing that you obviously didn't look at either. I wanted to see if you were able to provide a direct response to as to why you made your assertion on at least one article, but you instead again just made lazy generalizations that don't have anything to do with the articles I posted.

Your example premise of "the reasons for suicide", is not something I ever proposed. I never attempted to explain the reason for the increase. I simply posted an article showing that the suicide rate has increased over the last couple decades, since you kept blanketing everything prior as "rosy retrospection". Do you not believe that the suicide rate has increased over the last two decades?

Update: hijacking my own comment to say that the HN mods have nerfed this story submission into the ground: https://hnrankings.info/40782552/

I had a 1980's car in which the ECU had a sense line to the brake light circuit, and if the brakes were applied, engine power was instantly, and dramatically, cut.

Every drive-by-wire-throttle car I've ever driven - and DBWT cars have been around since the late nineties, do the same thing - press the brake, the ECU goes to idle immediately - sometimes in sports cars it's after a few seconds. There is zero reason for this pavement queen to be set up to permit left-foot-braking under throttle, especially when it is so heavy and powerful.

The federal government and EU regulators need to find some balls, fast, and reign in Musk. Every single idea he's had to "revolutionize" cars - beyond going electric, not really his 'idea' - has been asinine. In some cases he's pioneered Stupid and the auto industry shrugged and followed right along because regulators let him:

* going backwards at least twenty years in pedestrian crash safety by making a flat-nosed vehicle whose body panels can deflect a sledgehammer blow, instead of crumpling when hit by a person's body

* self-driving and lane-keeping cruise control with no radar has caused numerous crashes (thanks to "phantom braking" when the car freaks out and thinks something is in the road) and when the car doesn't see something because of dirt, sunlight, or water on the cameras - has killed dozens (by low estimate) of people...both occupants, law enforcement, and the public and that's just the well-publicized cases. I'm betting the actual numbers are more like thousands. Dual camera systems simply are not sufficient because even the very best pro photo digital cameras are still worse than the human eye in resolution and dynamic range.

* yolk steering wheels, though at least they kinda sorta addressed that with the variable ratio steering in the CT. There is an astounding lack of hubris to look at a fucking steering wheel and say "I can do better!" - especially when "better" has been tried before at various times and was a miserable failures. Musk looked at F1/Indy and said to himself "SEE? BETTER!" and forgot that those are being used by people who are at the absolute pinnacle of driving skill and rarely have to do anything approaching a sharp turn.

* no indicator stalks...putting the most commonly used control on the car is now a moving target and can have any rotation

* vehicle controls on a screen that depending on the Tesla model, anything on the road is impossible to see while you're looking at the control, which you have to do because there are no physical controls or even haptics.

Did I leave anything out?

In short:

- No self/autonomous vehicle tech without radar and some sort of LIDAR to supplement cameras
- No steering yolks
- Sheet metal must crumple appropriately in a collision with another car or a pedestrian
- Indicator stalks required
- Speed and basic indicators must be in front of the driver. Want to do it via a HUD? Fine.
Exactly.

That’s what is not clear.

Traditional ICE cars with auto transmissions allow you to do this, by design.

But you’d have to have a front wheel drive car and engage the parking brake / handbrake to lock the rear wheels like that.

Which is not possible in a Tesla.

For a Tesla to have locked the rear wheels whilst the front wheels continue to drag the car forward, does, on the surface seem like a failure in software or electronics somewhere.

I should test what happens in my Tesla :-)

(Side note: I wish Musk would just leave Tesla so we can all feel less shitty about owning them :-/ )
The issue is that the company can track what you are reading.
An oopsie indeed. For those who missed it, the issue, according to Tesla, is that:

>due to the terrain the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed
To be clear, I owned a big bank risk platform for about 10 years and this is an ever reoccurring story and nothing I read in the article you linked feels concerning or abnormal. Particularly on the living wills, stress testing, and capital reserves it’s a bit of a game of chicken between regulators and the regulated. The reality is things are considerably better than they were in 2007.
Redress is a thing. The homeowner gets his costs now, the insurance company recovers what it can from whoever caused the trouble.
The more electronics and software involved, the more errors like that will occur. I expect it to worsen as the car gets older, with fewer updates and available parts. The only exception is strict testing, similar to what is done with commercial airplanes.
It's a pity that you can't implement a function in an object to consider it equal to another object with the same member values.
The standing indictment was over 18(19?) charges, he plead guilty to one. A conspiracy charge, stemming from his role publishing violating the Espionage Act. Not the Computer Fraud and Abuse charge that many, including the DoJ's press release, said was the focus of the indictment.

The "overt acts" part you mention is over Title 18 793(g) which basically says if two people work together in one part of a conspiracy they're both guilty of any actions their partner made.

I sure can't imagine anyone thinking "I'll get off scot free, just like Assange".
This triggers sub prime deja vu.
Cybertruck had a problem with the gas pedal faceplate sliding up and locking the pedal in the full throttle position.
If the team writing the Cybertruck firmware was confused by

- user has depressed brake

- user has depressed accelerator

... and needs to pick a priority between these two inputs, I am available for consulting.
"Conventional wisdom" is just wrong. "The US" isn't a monolithic entity; the Obama administration explicitly refused to charge him, and he wasn't charged until the Trump administration. The Trump administration tried to strike a deal way back when, which was ruined by Assange doing the Vault 7 leaks in the middle of that, after which they were fuck you and all. There's a lot of inertia to these things after the ball gets rolling.
People should archive that, because even before he bought Twitter he'd DMCA videos that were bad PR for Tesla.

Edit: speaking of suppression of bad PR, HN mods nerfed this submission into the ground https://hnrankings.info/40782552/
All modern cars in the US have an ability to modulate the braking on each wheel, via ABS/ESP systems.
Yea this is a crucial point. The capital reserve requirements since the financial crisis on these assets is crazy high for a systemically important institution. Offloading to a less regulated entity would significantly improve the value of the position.

> something special as a symbol of love, and hoping that turns people away from synthetics. It's just story telling. You can see the romance in it, but the price differential is huge.

It's just BS, my wife's engagement ring stone is a size we picked, and then a quality (colour, lack of occlusions etc.) that I did some research on and picked to be a level for each that basically you needed to be trained & have equipment in order to determine the defects, i.e. I can't ever give her another one (natural or not) that looks better (it could be bigger but not more brilliant) to the naked eye. (And it's for her to wear, not an investment or whatever, so I figured really no reason to care beyond the naked eye.) If I'd added an additional requirement that it be formed over millennia in the earth, either it would have cost us a lot more, or more likely she'd have an objectively worse ring. Nothing romantic about that IMO!
ICE cars are designed such that the brakes can always overpower the engine. If you put both pedals on the wall the car will not move.

Because electric cars have phenomenal torque, it's not possible to make brakes big enough to stop the car against full application of the accelerator. So they have to have disconnects.

The baseline is much lower. If GenAI gives me code that software engineers all agree is bad, that's not very helpful for most purposes, regardless of whether random non-coders think it looks cool.

I agree. Though to be fair Nintendo's NES is a gaming console (not that they are right, just contrasting the use-cases).

Consider Apple's very own Mac - another general-purpose computing device like the iPhone, only in a different form-factor.

Surely Mac developers must be tripping over themselves to throw 30% of their total revenue at Apple, as reward for their laser focus on privacy and security and for developing a nanny-platform that makes their users feel warm and fuzzy inside?

Surely Mac users must not be allowed to do business with literally any entity in the world without involving Apple as the gatekeeper?

Oh wait.
No, I don't think "most of us can agree" that a manufacturer setting the conditions for distributing plugins for the hardware and software system that they produce and sell is "monopolistic" in nature. That's why we're having these discussions in the first place.

Every store, market place and mall has conditions for being able to sell your wares in their space. Every single one of them will prevent you from using their space if you fail to meet those conditions. Malls will kick you out if you close your store during mall hours, denying you the ability to sell to those mall customers. eBay will shut your account if you try to get buyers to pay you outside of eBay, denying you the ability to sell to those eBay customers. Your local grocery store won't be allowing you to set up in the middle of the aisle with a laser light show selling your home made cookies, denying you the ability to sell to the grocery story customers. Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony will all very happily terminate your access to their markets for failure to comply with their development programs, denying you the ability to sell to those console customers.
To be clear, it looks like we're talking about commercial real estate here.

While it has some good features (data minimization) it's also got some major weaknesses -- for example state attorneys general say they wouldn't be able to enforce it, it preempts existing stronger privacy laws in states like California and Illinois (and potentially Washington to some extent), EFF's warned about some big loopholes, etc. And that was even before these latest changes.

> Why not move the needle in the right direction and then lobby for additional things?

Two reasons. Preemption not only weakens some existing laws, it keeps states from passing future stronger laws -- so it caps protections. And, politicially, no privacy law in the US has ever been strengthened by Congress (or state legislatures) ... so, it's very unlikely that the lobbying for additional things will have an affect.

I installed the same last year, and the difference is obvious. I'm glad how "grabby" they were; a few times, it was an imminent accident without them.
The article is really not very clear is it!

Did the driver have their foot hard down on the brake pedal?

Were they using both feet and applying brake and accelerator at the same time?

These seem like obvious basic questions that this motoring journalist has failed to ask.

We will have to wait for keen YouTubers to answer these questions for us I guess LOL
