Not saying I agree with a physical act in consideration, but the idea that any physical defiance of your government is fascist is denying the history of this country. Think of it like an ultra riot.
You are assuming Tesla is anywhere close to the capabilities of Waymo. Ignoring Elon and his history of hyping things far beyond reality, Tesla does not appear to have the equipment, data, or organizational culture to achieve what Waymo has done.

Based on the phrasing of your sentences, I must ask which FSD version you are running, and if you can share footage.

Waymo/Google has been working on this since 2009, which was itself based on a Stanford project (whose team was hired from Stanford to Google) that started in 2004. So that's either 15 or 20 years depending on how you count, and it doesn't include the much harder tasks of mass producing vehicles and making electric vehicles commercially viable.

You might be interested in Brad Myers' new book "Pick, Click, Flick! The Story of Interaction Techniques". He's a prominent researcher in HCI at Carnegie Mellon University (and one of my colleagues). It gives a great overview of the history of how we interact with computers.

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bam/ixtbook/

Here's a summary of the book:
This book provides a comprehensive study of the many ways to interact with computers and computerized devices. An “interaction technique” starts when the user performs an action that causes an electronic device to respond, and includes the direct feedback from the device to the user. Examples include physical buttons and switches, on-screen menus and scrollbars operated by a mouse, touchscreen widgets and gestures such as flick-to-scroll, text entry on computers and touchscreens, consumer electronic controls such as remote controls, game controllers, input for virtual reality systems like waving a Nintendo Wii wand or your hands in front of a Microsoft Kinect, interactions with conversational agents such as Apple Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or Microsoft Cortana, and adaptations of all of these for people with disabilities. The book starts with a history of the invention and development of these techniques, discusses the various options used today, and continues on to the future with the latest research on interaction techniques such as presented at academic conferences. It features summaries of interviews with the original inventors of some interaction techniques such as Larry Tesler (copy-and-paste), David Canfield Smith (the desktop and icons), Dan Bricklin (spreadsheets), Loren Brichter (Pull-to-Refresh), Bill Atkinson (Menu Bar and HyperCard), Ted Selker (IBM TrackPoint pointing stick), and many others. Sections also cover how to use, model, implement, and evaluate new interaction techniques. The goal of the book is to be useful for anyone interested in why we interact with electronic devices the way we do, to designers creating the interaction techniques of tomorrow who need to know the options and constraints and what has been tried, and even for implementers and consumers who want to get the most out of their interaction techniques.

I think you are focused too much on theory and hypotheticals and not reality, that’s where I’m at.

In reality, we all participate in capitalism. We all have to deal with this system, you can’t avoid it. It imposes its hierarchy on you from the day you are born, and getting out from under it is a lifelong endeavor. Nothing theoretical about the constant pressure coming from the top down. Maybe it’s not prescriptive of capitalism but you can’t deny it’s an emergent feature of the system, as if it’s an intended consequence. Cant really convince me at this point it’s not, sorry.

No I didn’t have trade in mind, listen to my words.
I don't find the description or the examples here very well explained. What does call/cc do? What does cc do? what is this code, or is it just a comment?

The descriptions are just hard to parse:

The value passed to the continuation is the return value of the call.

During the execution of the expression body, the variable current-continuation is bound to the current continuation. If invoked, current-continuation immediately returns from the call to call/cc ...

I know we're all quite literally sick of it, but the pandemic is still going.

Covid keeps killing more people every month than flu does in a year.
During Covid I lived alone after I had moved away from anyone I knew. I didn’t mind it too much but one of the effects was that I fell down a conspiracy rabbit hole. Looking back on it I find it hard to understand what my thought process was. On one hand it makes sense but on the other it doesn’t anymore (because I don’t believe in it). Without anyone else around you can talk yourself into believing some pretty wild things. Luckily I met my now fiance and she gradually talked me out of it, but I was very resistant and I got pretty upset sometimes when she challenged me on it. I have a lot more sympathy for people that fall for these things now, otherwise I would be a hypocrite.

While I'm not a prescriptivist, I think diagramming (and the rest of the strict English grammar education I was given in the 70's and 80's) helped me to understand why grammar rules exist and how they bring clarity to communication. I think that also helped me when learning to write code.
But a CRDT would. The end result at node 1 seeing merge X first and then merge Y next would necessarily have to be the same as node 2 seeing merge Y first and then merge X. That’s literally the core property of CRDTs - all nodes eventually converge to the same state regardless of the network partitioning. Git does not have this property and thus is not a CRDT (for edits - it’s a CRDT for mirroring).

Git is not a CRDT not because “git merge is lossless” but because the result is order dependent which is not partition tolerant.

You may want to read the original paper which defines CRDT [1]. Here’s some choice quotes to help you:

> System model: We consider a system of processes interconnected by an asynchronous network. The network can partition and recover

> Clearly, a sufficient condition for convergence of an op-based object is that all its con- current operations commute. An object satisfying this condition is called a Commutative Replicated Data Type (CmRDT).

Git has some CRDT concepts but the core behavior of creating commits and sharing them does not generally meet the criteria of a CRDT. And no. Requiring a manual merge is also not a property of a CRDT as the whole point of it is to generate a “correct” merge result without human intervention. Otherwise the point of the paper would be almost irrelevant.

Yes, every year Tesla fans talk about how much it's improved, and every year it's still failing on basic driving tasks.

And there's definitely cases where the Tesla in question just tries to run into parked cars or similar for no apparent reason, but Tesla fans always have some excuse about why that's irrelevant, especially if it's not on whatever the absolute latest version is.

Then they accuse the people horrified at Teslas making basic errors and trying to crash of being "anti-Musk".

Why should they care about goodwill? Treating customers as they have has made them one of the most profitable companies in the world. People whine and complain about them all the time, but continue to throw barrels of money at them. Goodwill isn't going to improve their profitability.
Sadly there is not much substance to the article, just a list of rumours and industry gossip. I would be much more interested in the industry wisdom around these insurances. I can imagine two legitimate business reasons for them and a PR one.

A legitimate business reason is insuring a touring act against some catastrophy which prevents the performer from performing. I imagine there are a lot of fixed costs in a touring show which need to be paid even if the star suddenly develops tonsilitis, or gets food poisoning. In turn i would imagine that if the performer is a no-show the show doesn’t get paid anything. And it is not like you can send in Taylor’s understudy or something. So you have a very expensive, single point of failure in your business plan with no redundancy. It makes sense to insure the business against that. In this usecase i would be curious how extensive the vetting is? Do they perform a full medical on the star? Do they review the coreography to see how strenous it is, or the schedule to see if the star will have enough time to recuperate between shows? Can the show management offer risk mitigation measures to lower the premiums? (For example if they have a touring physio on staff would that make the insurance cheaper?)

An other legitimate busines case would be the star insuring themselves. For example if they plan to buy something expensive (a yacht, or a palace) which they can afford if their fortunes keep up. But they might be in a bad place financially if something happens with their body which makes them unable to perform. Then they are stuck with the expensive thing and they can’t maintain it financially any more. So they take out a policy on their continued ability to perform. Here i would be curious how the moral risk is handled by the policy? What if the star insures their voice but then has a mental breakdown, doesn’t want to perform anymore and wants to cash the insurance out. With something as subjective as a voice i would imagine psychosomatic effects can influence it greatly. How is this handled by the policy?

Then there is the third usecase, which is pure PR. Talking about how much some body part of yours is insured for feels more classy and legitimate than saying out loud “look at my ass, isn’t it just so sexy?”. And for that you don’t really need a strong policy. In fact if you want to minimise your costs while still maintaining the bragging rights you can just make the policy very narrow. For example an insurance policy which pays out a million dollar if anything bad happens with any of your legs in the next ten years will surelly cost a lot. While a much narrower one which only pays out the million dollar if you suffer a leg injury resulting in the amputation of both of your legs during a specific red carpet walk for a specific premier would cost a lot less. While both policy can be truthfully described as “my legs are insured for a million dollar”. Do managers/stars optimise this way? Or is it just easier to lie for publicity? Not as if an outsider can verify what insurance you really have.

> There were no interventions, so both of them were doing it completely driverless.

Well, no. A Tesla doesn't operate without a driver's supervision, so it can't be driverless. It did that particular drive without intervention, that's it. The stats [1] clearly show it's nowhere near capable of doing it without a driver in the seat. Community tracker puts them at 30 miles per disengagement.

As a JavaScript hater, I admit they surely they do, but I'm still curious as to why it was the best choice. If it's a custom runtime, existing runtimes being reliable\secure\well understood by existing engineers isn't relevant. And it's not like they're adding in lots of external libraries either.

I found this comment:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19739454

" The language itself wasn’t so important as having adequate performance, robustness, memory use, reproducibility and extreme QC"

but I still don't understand. Interesting they went with a language that doesn't even have integers.

At least the comments on this reddit thread have some hilarious jokes:

https://old.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/wrtny3/the_jame...

Looks like they released a paper, the abstract of which, indicates it's not a fully custom runtime, which would make more sense:

Unfortunately they want money to read the rest of it and I'm curious but not that curious, and I probably wouldn't understand it anyway.

Not gonna say gimp is perfect. But, the comment above is a poster child for folks who learned a certain software and refuse to use another with a slightly different interface.

I personally learned Paint Shop Pro first, after baby steps of Mac/MS Paint. Later on didn't find Photoshop particularly intuitive... although liked 3.0 on the Mac. It's even worse now according to professional friends.

I've used many others over the years and never had a problem with basic to medium features. They all work roughly the same—WIMP. Point, click.

Gimp works similarly to every other graphics program, so using it for common tasks is not hard. It's not "full of grief." If you can't do it, you either never learned how to use a GUI program properly[1], proceed by rote, or refuse to consult the manual for more specific tasks.

For one thing, it's a helluva lot easier to learn than Blender, which has no chronic troll posts that I've seen.

What if your dock is on the side of the screen? Or do I need to install it and see for myself?
A lot of people have asked this question. There are a bunch of simple GUI-builder tools, including GUI builders for the web, but none of them are popular, due to the sweet spot of supply and demand that Hypercard hit.

When Hypercard launched, it came with every Mac, it was free, and there was nothing else like it available on the Mac. On the Mac, the alternative to Hypercard was to layout UI widgets in code, with no GUI builder at all, or eventually to pay $$$ for a professional-grade IDE like CodeWarrior. As an entry-level user with no budget, if you wanted a GUI builder for the Mac, you got Hypercard, or nothing. This created a community of Hypercard enthusiasts.

Furthermore, when Hypercard launched, Macs had a standard screen resolution. Every Mac sold had a screen resolution of 512x342 pixels, so you could know for sure how your cards would look on any Mac. Supporting resizable GUIs is one of the hardest things to do in any GUI builder. (How should the buttons layout when the screen gets very small, like a phone? Or very wide, like a 16:9 monitor?) Today, Xcode uses a sophisticated constraint solver / theorem prover to allow developers to build resizable UIs in a GUI; it works pretty well, I think, but it's never going to be as easy to learn as "drag the button onto the screen and it's going to look exactly like that everywhere."

The last issue is the real killer for modern Hypercard wannabes: it's a small step from a web GUI builder to raw HTML/CSS. You don't have to pay big bucks to have access to professional-grade HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Sure, they're not that easy to learn, but you can teach a kid to write interactive web pages, no problem.

As a result, the demand for a simple GUI builder is lower than it was for Hypercard, and even when you do capture a user, they tend to outgrow your product, and there are a zillion competitors, so none of them can build a community with real traction.
I think the best argument I've heard against this is that it kills innovation. If products win in one category by default because a company already won in a different category then we lack the healthy an competitive environment for innovation to thrive in.
