"The cost of building Tesla FSD = 1/100 * cost of building Waymo FSD

The cost of delivering Tesla FSD = 1/10 * cost of delivering Waymo FSD"

This seems like one of the key assumptions, but is not proven out at all because Tesla does not even have a level 4 vehicle. So the cost of delivering one comparable to waymo is infinite right now!

Your other key assumption is "Waymo can never get to the scale of Tesla (it can never buy 5 Million FSD cars, while Tesla is delivering them every 2 years)".

Both the assertion in the first part and the second part seem like super-strange assumptions, and not obviously true at all, yet are also critical to your analysis.

Waymo could get to the scale of tesla. It may or may not be too expensive to do.
It could in fact, buy 5 million FSD cars. It may or may not be too expensive to do.

"Mathematically, Tesla has an upper hand over Waymo and it'll play out as that."

Or you know, if needed, Waymo could change?

It's funny to watch someone say "this one company will be able to adapt in every possible way to it's advantage, and nobody else can or will"

That almost never happens.

Your retort is then that you are getting downvoted because of anti-musk hate.

Have you considered that maybe you just don't have that good of an argument instead, and that your comment comes off as more of a tesla fanboy (regardless if you are) than a useful contribution?

I could write the literal opposite comment of what you did, in favor of Waymo.
That would not be a useful contribution either for the same reasons.
Five Common Gotchas in the App Store Marketing Guidelines (2013)
A web commerce site.
It’s an ad for a tool that claims to generate terraform IaC code based on analysis of application code. Sounds cool if it actually works, but I’m skeptical.
The judge said "it appears this case ends with me here in Saipan.” As this is in the context of the US case, I read that as precluding any further legal action from the USA. Also that as a condition of his plea bargain is indefinitely barred from entering the US. His flight from the UK to Saipan and onward home was not permitted to be on commercial flights; there is an active fundraiser to foot his 500K$ transport bill. So what conditions are waiting for him in his native Australia, and how free will he be to move?
I'd argue that Office has competition in the form of GSuite, which has collaborative features

So how much market share does Office have to lose to GSuite before Microsoft can implement features that their competitor has?

Put another way, does a dominant market player have to stagnate in order to avoid breaking antitrust law, rather than anticipating the needs of their customers to make their product more useful?
There isn't a right answer. It's just that people don't understand that one doesn't provide any meaningful benefit over the other (in the context of storing secrets), but the security "experts" are always eager to claim "X is insecure, do Y instead, it's best practice btw"

Unless I'm missing something, there are three scenarios where this comes up:

1. You are using a .env file to store secrets that will then be passed to the program through env vars. There's literally no difference in this case, you end up storing secrets in the FS anyway.

2. You are manually setting an env var with the secret when launching a program, e.g. SECRET=foo ./bar. The secret can still be easily obtained by inspecting /proc/PID/environ. It can't be read by other users, but so are the files in your user's directory (.env/secrets.json/whatever)

3. A program obtains the secret via some other means (network, user input, etc). You can still access /proc/PID/mem and extract the secret from process memory.

So I'm assuming that what people really want is passing the secret to a program and having that secret not be readable by anything other than that program. The proper way to do this is using some OS-provided mechanism, like memfd_secret in Linux. The program can ask for the secret on startup via stdin, then store that secret in the special memory region designed for storing secrets.

"A fan-boy would never call Musk a narcisstic a*hole."

FWIW - You definitely come off as as irrationally in favor of tesla, regardless of reason.

Nobody missed any of your points, they just don't agree with most them or believe the rest follow from your points.
Good luck proving you have an exploit in your machine but you _do not intend_ to use it to hack accounts to a judge.
Same, really looking forward to it. I enabled Wayland on my Pop 22 install last night and have set release notifications on the Pop Nvidia drivers GH repo specifically for this release, ha.

Edit: Just noticed that the release (i.e. non-beta) version of 555 is actually likely to be tagged 560. So I guess it’s 560 I’m waiting for.

They're worth trying once, but they're not ready to replace Lyft/Uber. The cost is similar or sometimes even more for Waymo, and the trip often takes longer thanks to the car's skittishness. The ride length estimates are also quite optimistic which can lead to arriving later than one intends. I don't see a real compelling reason to keep using them.
> painting everyone who talks that way with the same brush.

I don't see what point you're making. Everyone is influenced by the people around them. That's how we have dialects and regional speech patterns. So what?

I actually like those examples I gave. "We might be able to fix that" is certainly a lot more trouble to say than "we might could fix that" and people who say the latter are being a bit creative in their rule-breaking.

Would you mind citing any specific passage that you perceive to be "incredibly politicized"? Can you cite one of these "political judgments" from the paper?
I’m agreeing that the data says there isn’t a difference between 50 and 1000 for housing attainment.

$50/mo is like a control only if there is evidence to support that $50 has the same effect as $0. That evidence does not exist. We can make a guess, but it is a guess that goes against experimentally demonstrated economic theory around marginal utility.

I guess we just disagree on what a control group is. I think of it as a group who are not provided any form of effective intervention. A placebo is an intervention where the user does not know they intentionally have been given an ineffective intervention. It is impossible to not know you were given $50, so I don’t know how this could be considered a placebo. A placebo controlled study is when you give a placebo to a control group who do not know if they are receiving a placebo.

The argument I think you are making is that $50 is so small as to be irrelevant. But it is neither a control nor a placebo by almost any definition. And there is no data to suggest what you are asserting even though it feels intuitive to make the guess.

> The copy once held by the University of Virginia, Poe’s not-quite alma mater, was stolen in 1973 from the McGregor Room vault in Alderman Library. If it is never recovered, an unfortunate possibility, the number of known copies drops to eleven. At least one prominent Poe expert I know speculates it may have been destroyed to hide the evidence.

Isn't it more likely that they were fans of Poe and took the book for themselves or they stole it for someone who was a fan of Poe. Doesn't seem likely anyone else would steal such a rare book only to destroy it.

Either way, expect no HyperCard (or work-alikes) from Apple. But how about other vendors? What about open-source projects? Nothing there, either. Oh, there is no shortage of attempts. And all of them are failures for the same reason: they insist on being more capable, more complexity-laden than HyperCard. And thus, none of them can readily substitute for it.

It is not a reasonable assumption to compare your local cluster to the largest clusters within DOE or their equivalents in Europe/Japan. These machines regularly run at >90% utilization and you will not be given an allocation if you can’t prove that you’ll actually use the machine.

I do see the phenomenon you describe on smaller university clusters, but these are not power users who know how to leverage HPC to the highest capacity. People in DOE spend their careers working to use as much as these machines as efficiently as possible.

Basically, you wouldn't want to build them out of materials that are useful at human room temperature, but you could perhaps build them out of materials that are liquid or even a gas on earth, but solid at Titan's temperatures.

I've never heard it claimed that there was no laptop. It is a question of provenance and whether the laptop somehow indicts Joe Biden. The claim was that Hunter Biden was getting paid millions and funneling it to Joe, and Joe in turn was pulling strings in Ukraine to protect his son and this money stream.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controvers...

"A joint investigation by two Republican Senate committees released in September 2020 did not find wrongdoing by Joe Biden with regards to Ukraine and his son's business dealings there. Despite persistent allegations that the laptop contents indicated corruption by Joe Biden, a Republican House Oversight committee investigation in April 2024 also found no wrongdoing."

Despite that, certain media outlets continue to claim otherwise, and a large online community continue to believe it.
> Interpress could easily index the pages and just start printing from any where. Not so with PostScript.

Granted, a general purpose dot-ps file would have to be completely executed, yes, to get any particular page..

but no, not true after the early days.. Postscript structuring conventions allowed page extraction and therefor page execution after the header parts executed..
Not to discount Jobs as a person, but the narrative in 100 years could easily be "Jobs was in the right place at the right time when technology reached a miniaturization threshold such that a computer could be in every person's pocket, the first time in human history; and Jobs led the first company to be there at the right time and capitalize."
ESP32 ee.* operations in assembly look pretty much like aliases for a VLIW bundles, on the same cycle issuing loads used in the next op while also doing multiplication on other operands. This is not a minimal Xtensa. They might not have the Tensilica toolchain for redistribution to use these features freely but apparently they exposed these extensions in their assembler in some form.

> A random variable measures a numerical quantity which depends on the outcome of a random phenomenon.

Hmm, that sentence at the beginning is already wrong. Random variables can measure anything, not just numbers. Heads or Tails of a coin, or colours of cars etc.

It's fine to restrict yourself to numeric random variables only. But if you are writing a rant telling other people to be more careful in their analysis, you better dot your i's and cross your t's yourself.

> The idea of declarative config is that empirically programmatic config was bad at scale.

Languages can be declarative or imperative. For instance, Pulumi and CDK are declarative.

> If you use programmatic config, then you can't find out the intended state of your system without executing a program. You can't grep through program executions in a meaningful way, especially at scale. So you can't do even simple things like search for a string.

I don’t understand — nothing stops a language from having an intermediate compilation step that shows the intended state and is searchable. Beyond that, programmatic config means you can add in hooks to make plans or runs more interrogatable.

> Guaranteeing termination is helpful, but it doesn't solve the main problem that programmatic config puts a large complexity barrier between you and the ability to understand your infrastructure.

It seems like this is untrue — having seen templated IaC that is hundreds of thousands of lines and cdk that defers that complexity to an abstraction that I have to understand once, I’d always take the latter.

Agreed that helm use is a giant mistake and liability.
I remember seeing a 4chan screenshot right before the 2020 election, I'd guess about 2 weeks before election night, the person was claiming to be an "insider" whatever that means, and they were claiming that on election night, all the news anchors were going to keep repeating the phrase "red mirage", and that they'd keep counting votes until Trump lost, however long that takes. I was not convinced for a ton of reasons, after all this is 4chan, the site full of Q conspiracies and racists and LARPs and other assorted bullshit. At the very least, if the person were telling the truth, then the cat is out of the bag and they can't go through with it.

I remember watching that anchor who's dad was a famous anchor, I forget his name, on Fox news that night say the phrase "red mirage". They counted votes for 3 days after that.

So how do I know that which title serves better? I'll appreciate the comments in this special case if it is hard to say in general.
> Startups are quite big in SK because the government gives them lots of funding.

Exactly. All that funding and the associated paperwork, not to mention the adverse incentives it brings to the table, help to turn the Korean startup ecosystem into yet another old-fashioned, government-controlled economic sector.

We all call each other the same honorifics, make our offices cute and comfy, and try not to have a visible hierarchy. But at the end of the day, it's the government that tells you which projects will be funded and when you should submit screenshots of the deliverables. Angels? Yeah, they exist, but where do you think half of their money comes from?

i drove for uber around 7 years ago. it was the first time that i experienced first-hand a mass delusion. more on that later though. at the time i had just read the first samples of GTP output from openai and i immediately understood that we were probably going to experience an explosion of AI progress. and it weighed on me because i was afraid that the economic disruption caused by the resulting automation would ruin my life. i remember sitting in my car thinking that its completely pointless because they are just going to automate ubers… so today is a funny day for me because this really is the death of human uber drivers in SF, even if generative AI isnt at play here. that day has come where people who need a job to tide them over for a few years wont be able to drive ubers. one less option.

driving an uber costs about 20 cents per mile accounting for everything including gas, maintenance, replacement, insurance. including tips you are often paid around a dollar per mile. its just dead simple math. the idea that ubers lose money is a mass delusion fueled by outrage culture, echo chambers and the media. i made tons of money doing it. im screaming into the void and it wont change anyones mind
> The question I ask with these studies is "what is a conspiracy?"

Everyone here seems to be missing the 'essence' of the study and article. Do these conspiracy theorists influence global pandemic policy? Do flat earther conspiracy theorist affect global climate change policy?

That's what the article and the 'study' is ultimately implying. That lonely conspiracy theorist flat earthers are controlling global policy.

Some think reptilians are controlling the world. Nature and these 'researchers' think that lonely conspiracy theorists living in their mom's basements are secretly controlling the world.
I think things like this are very individual. I recently “dropped off” my kid in the UK for a couple of weeks, then picked him up after that. That’s a total of 40-odd hours in a plane.

I’d buy the AVP just for that experience. The only time it was off my face was the one night-time sleep flight, and eating. I don’t find it uncomfortable to use, but I do make sure I’m (at least somewhat) lying down for extended (ie: anything more than a couple of hours) sessions.

This is partly why I said science isn't truth. Science evolves. And the virus evolved.

I don't recall any scientist promising Covid would be eradicated by the vaccines or that nobody would get sick. Even diseases for which really effective vaccines have been available for some time have not been eradicated. I'm pretty sure the scientific consensus at the time was not exactly "the spread would cease". There was some talk about herd immunity and what that means.

Another problem is that experts aren't always the greatest communicators and the science is hard to communicate.
