I haven’t driven behind a waymo. So this is just curiosity.

But, having used and been behind other assisted driving vehicles. (Which one thing I find exhausting with auto cruise is that people pass, usually on the right, and then cut in constantly if you have the distance set safely)…

But as another commenter said about mental models of drivers. I wonder if part of it is they brake sooner, and perhaps more completely.

Example: someone turning left. Most human drivers will slow and go around if safe. Does waymo brake far away, and abruptly?

Again, I can’t comment on waymo, but I know my own vehicle too will sometimes brake late and harder if set to auto because of sensor distance. (I try to not let this happen and over ride and brake sooner of course, gradually slowing vs flying up, detecting a stop or slowdown, and then braking aggressively )
Everyone has a religion (belief system guiding morals, values, and actions).

Some of them involve deity.
It sounds like you have an aversion to sports because you were forced to participate in them as a child, which is completely understandable. If someone had coerced you into the school's drama program you might find theater revolting as an adult as well.

It might help to think of sports less as "people playing a simple game" and more as "a demonstration of human athleticism at the highest level". The game is just a pretext. When you watch table tennis, you're viewing people with some of the most finely honed fast twitch muscle fibers, reflexes, and hand eye coordination in the world demonstrate their skills, not just people bouncing a ball back and forth across a table.

You might also enjoy the data analysis aspect of sports. Sports are increasingly being dictated by statistics. It's somewhat cliche at this point to recommend it, but if you haven't already, it might be worth watching the movie Moneyball (or reading the book it's based on).
If your neighbourhood is pleasant and walkable, you don't need to be dropped off at the door. In most cases, the key barrier to walkability is removing the cars.
If people already understand what "hallucination" means, then I think it's perfectly intuitive and educational to say that, actually, the LLM is always doing that, just that some of those hallucinations happen to coincidentally describe something real.

We need to dispell the notion that the LLM "knows" the truth, or is "smart". It's just a fancy stochastic parrot. Whether it's responses reflect a truthful reality or a fantasy it made up is just luck, weighted by (but not constrained to) its training data. Emphasizing that everything is a hallucination does that. I purposefully want to reframe how the word is used and how we think about LLMs.
Man, I agree with your specific criticism of the "No True Scotsman" refrain and with the larger criticisms of scrum, but this is an example of scrum prescribing X and companies doing !X, the literal opposite.

How could scrum, the product, possibly be to blame for that even if it sucks? Or, at what point is it reasonable to blame the PM/leader for actively and knowingly practicing !$scrum while pretending it's $scrum?
You can definitely cause accidents without technically committing a traffic violation. We all assume that other people behave "normally" in traffic while providing some margin.
Chinook: Sample Database for SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DB2
If you brake more aggressively, you will be involved in more accidents, but in fewer accidents that are considered your fault (courts and insurance companies will almost always find against the rear-ender).

You might also be involved in less serious accidents: a low or moderate speed rear end collision is safer overall than hitting a pedestrian, T-boning someone, or colliding at the higher speed from before braking.

That's a trade off that Waymo presumably know about, and are taking intentionally. It would be interesting to know what they prioritise: is it fewer overall deaths and injuries, or fewer accidents where they were determined to be at fault?
It's probably of higher intelligence value to let them connect and intercept everything than it is to cut them off and not know what's going on. If you look at their border with China, it's only tens of meters from fairly populated areas, so setting up high bandwidth microwave links wouldn't be hard. Also bombing a sovereign nation is an act of war and comes with consequences.
It was the best option at the time.
I think it depends what you ask for. Notion style webpages, fine. Yesterday I asked for gauge charts and it didn't perform well at all, I'll need to get better at prompting.
One would hope that all of these hardcopy texts at least get digitized to be preserved on Internet Archive (and preferably as many more backups as possible).
I was in Lithuania recently and apparently they pump ground water directly into the city water system without any filtration. It's that clean, and it tastes amazing. Gotta watch out for old soviet pipes, tho.
It would have saved words and time for you to just answer TheBlight's question with "no".
Good analysis.

In marketing, a "competitor" is not just somebody else doing a similar thing;
one form of competition is something entirely different that you might spend your money or time instead (a "substitute").

Many business plans ignore substitutes and only focus on similar competitive offerings.

Smartphones are substitutes for a lot of things: playing football with a friend; human ad-hoc conversation at a bus stop; playing Candy Crush instead of reading newspapers on your morning commute; entertaining yourself and your date at a romantic dinner.
Ha, I used to work at WH Smith HQ in Swindon. The warehouse people used to nick the cover disks from the magazines and sell them. And each loo on each floor had a fresh new porn mag in the cistern!

Don't even get me on Tales of Farthing Wood which caused a national shitstorm...
I imagine pretty easily. They likely don’t have to find it, nothing gets dug in North Korea without US watching it via satellite. Chinas air defenses likely don’t exist in North Korea.

I have no doubt the US has plans to cut them (and probably anyone else you can imagine) off in the event of war.
This was my impression with build123d and Cadquery.

On paper they have a better abstraction than OpenScad. Yet, the code to express the same output is more bloated.

I was never able to get over the yak shaving learning curve to be proficient. Openscad mental model is a lot simpler to sustain momentum to go build something.

How did you get around to prefer Cadquery/build123d?
"We" as in "us humans".
these unified experiences are life’s “magical moments” which is like being “in the zone” in a social/physical sense. Everything is keeping you there in the moment and it’s wonderful.

I was going to make a similar comment. One important aspect of being a safe driver is being predictable. Cars (or cyclists/pedestrians for that matter) that suddenly change speed or direction without warning create a lot of risk.

Edit: I've been down voted so as clarification I mean a sudden change without any obvious/predictable reason. Think the person that realized too late that they wanted to turn here and instead of continuing and turning around they slam the breaks. Yes you need to be ready for this, but it's still more risky.
Dark Money Advocates Want Tax Breaks for Campaign Donations
Nitter worked by signing in with special "guest accounts" that I think were given to fresh downloads of the mobile apps.[0] Last year, X fully disabled that functionality, which left most Nitter instances broken. At that point, the developer publicly abandoned/ended the project.

The couple of instances floating around that still work are, to my knowledge, forks of the original Nitter that have been upgraded to work with a pool of manually created X accounts, which is a relatively expensive and fragile approach that most instances probably aren't up for taking.

This is going to go the same way as HTTP/2 Server Push (removed from Chrome in 2022).

Great tech promising amazing efficiencies and speedups, but programmers are too lazy to use them correctly, so they see barely any use, and the few places it is used correctly are overshadowed by the few places it is used wrongly hurting performance.

Lesson: Tech that leads to the same page loading slightly faster generally won't be used unless they are fully automatic and enabled by default.

Http push required extra config on the server to decide what to push. This requires extra headers to determine what content to compress against (and the server to store that old/common content).

Neither will succeed because the vast majority of developers don't care about that last little bit of loading speed.
I tend to agree with you, I have decades of driving experience across a huge range of model years and vehicle types. Im very cautious and maintain distances as Im often driving something with subpar stopping power or lacking ABS. My observations have been similar, first when breaking assist appeared and now with self-driving. Those vehicles are quicker to react, more prone to over-react, slower to return to normal, and apply too much breaking power. Ive watched other cars in front of me hard break in a series of what appears to me as erratic decisions, because of what I assume is noise created by traffic patterns, pedestrians, and latency. I also wonder if humans will adjust their behavior... people seem so distracted while driving today.

This was interesting, especially with the DCF example at the end - it’s pertinent to business sell decisions (assuming your ownership structure allows you to make a decision) should I sell at an 8x multiple of revenue, or hold at an X% growth rate and Y% cash flow? What’s my net after 10 years?

The point of Jensen’s inequality if I understand correctly is that you’d underestimate the value of holding using a basic estimate approach, because you’ll underestimate the compounding cash flow from growth?
You have described more or less exactly how Waymo did their rollout.

A. They used to have these cute little cars (e.g. golf cart sized) that couldn't go over 30 mph, long before they rolled out the Chryslers and Jaguars

B. My memory is fuzzy on the details, but I'm sure there's public info on this: Waymo owned or leased some massive plot of land where they did exactly that, testing all sorts of chaotic scenarios (weird construction, skateboards coming out of nowhere, etc)
I would not be wearing this outdoors but count me in for household activities!
When I was taking motorcycle safety they made it clear you needed to ride only at a speed where you could stop in the space you knew to be clear. That means if the car in front of you turned in to a stationary boulder, you needed to be able to stop.

Hopefully human drivers learn to apply the same wisdom to their own driving.
Yes, I edited the comment as I decided that criminals is too narrow. It's really a simple evaluation of whether you extract more value than you produce - which is usually true with criminals but could be expanded to include any migrant who is receiving state benefits while not making efforts to contribute going forward. Now, obviously there are exceptions and caveats but I posit there's a larger group of non-criminal migrants who are still a net-drain on the society that's supporting them.
> Now, you could do a lot of work to parse the SDP locally, figure out exactly what changed, send just that difference to the other side, and have it be smart enough to patch its local idea of the current SDP with that difference to feed into JSEP, test it on every possible browser, make it robust to future changes in the SDP the browser will generate, etc.

I work with WebRTC outside a browser context, and we signal calls with simpler datastructures and generate the SDP right near the WebRTC Api. Our SFU doesn't ever see an SDP, because SDP is a big messy format around simpler parts --- it's easier to just communicate the simpler parts, and marshal into SDP at the API border. Even for 1:1 calls, we signal the parts, and then both ends generate the SDP to feed to WebRTC.

IMHO, you're going to have to test your generated SDPs everywhere anyway, regardless of if clients or servers generate them.

Well managed compression would certainly help reduce SDP size in transit, but reduce, reuse, recompress in that order.
Does this work with a guaranteed random bit output bandwidth ?

These techniques (eg von neumann) all seem to suffer from that same problem, namely, they crank out uniformly distributed random bits from biased sources, but with no guarantee of how long you may have to wait for a bit to come out.
I think Americans simply distrust things that are:

The Wikipedia article says 22 of the 36 became pregnant with a fellow crew member during the deployment. All of them had to be transferred off the ship so they could be closer to an obstetrician in case of complications.
This sounds eerily like the difference between men and women drivers, as in the traditional explanations for why male drivers are more often judged to be at fault.
Yeah. Speaking for myself, it's not that there are all these online novels I can read for free. (OK, there are in the public domain but that's not my point.) It's that there is a lot of other reading and entertainment/education options out there.

You had me up to there. "I don't have time" just means "I don't prefer to." You have time to do whatever you really want to do.

> I’m tired from working all day.

This is the root of the problem.

The reason I say that is because I feel this post describes myself.

I often feel tired when I’m working somewhere that’s not intellectually challenging, and after working at a couple companies I have enough perspective to recognize it fairly quickly. Work shouldn’t feel draining. My best recommendation would be to take some time off, at least 2+ weeks, and see if the energy comes back.
> 3rd party stepping in for Microsoft doesn't count in this discussion.

This completely misses the point of having rich ecosystem nor has any relevance whatsoever from practical standpoint for organizations that have competent leadership.

For all intents and purposes, this would completely disqualify Clojure and Scala themselves since they don’t come from Oracle, and Kotlin if Google/JetBrains don’t count either.

You can’t be serious.

The crybegginng attitude that expects everything to come from first party is extremely damaging to .NET ecosystem because it hinders evolution and innovation, and further expansion of it. Luckily it’s slowly going away but your reply is a good demonstration why it is bad.

Even the current state is too first-party leaning - too many features that have no business being in extension packages let alone CoreLib (e.g. “please fix obsolete System.Drawing on Linux because our legal is incompetent enough to not allow SkiaSharp”)

> VB and C++/CLI

C++/CLI only works on Windows. In no uncertain terms, it is deprecated and effectively dead. You must not write new code with it and existing code must be ported to C# if possible. VB.NET is supported but does not receive new features.

The only possible way for you to compare this to F# is to completely ignore all devblog posts and releases concerning its continuing development. If you did read them, you would also know about the high-effort changes it adopts to stay up to date with the rest of the ecosystem when it introduces new way of doing something. In which case, it is reasonable to ask where do you even pull these assumption from then?
Any evidence this actually causes material performance improvement?

Pre-shared compression dictionaries are rarely seen in the wild because they rarely provide meaningful benefit, particularly in the cases you care about most.
My take on it is that if someone is genuinely interested in signing up for a service then they'll verify their email as part of the signup process. I enforce verification at signup. This eliminates 100% spam. It becomes a policy decision and not a technical one.
As much as you're right, posting facts about negative aspects of immigration will get you in trouble or you'll get branded names and down voted at best.
My print edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica is one of the best gifts I ever purchased for myself upon graduating from high school.

The social pressure that makes youngsters watch TikTok cat videos instead, mixed with instant gratification effects from online media consumption (in contrast with the active reading of a 150 page in-depth encyclopedia article on a topic) leads to generations that are unwilling - and for lack of exercise then also unable - to put much effort into anything, and to value knowledge/expertise.

I'd love to get a bit more feedback about this project, and maybe find some like-minded people who want to chip in.
BOFH was funny because it showcased the technical possibilities when applied in the worst possible way, just like lots of comedy today. Remembering a bunch of those stories, they were pretty much highly unlikely even back in the day (tracing phone calls — many of these stories were redirecting calls to other numbers — was possible even back in 80s).
They'll have forfeited the right to refugee status anywhere else and would have to migrate as an economic migrant. Which generally takes either six figures or decades, AFAICT.

According to SCB, Statistics Sweden (https://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/statistik-efter-amne/befo...) in 2023, 94 514 people migrated to Sweden and about 70 000 emigrated, these numbers include refugees.

So net migration of about 25 000 people in 2023, not a quarter millon.

EDIT: According to the World Bank, the number 250 000 refers to the total refugee population in Sweden, not the number of refugees coming annually.
If you mean SpaceX’s Starlink they obviously can’t. Elon clearly controls who uses it where.

If you are just using the term generically and mean other satellite connections, maybe, but limiting them to satellite internet only where we couldn’t take out a dish would certainly be crippling to the crimes I’m referencing!
You're not alone! When the car showed up there were a lot of people very upset that their cities were now much more dangerous. The car industry pushed a lot of changes to push the blame for getting killed on the dead pedestrians. It helped that cars were much liked by the wealthy and disliked by the poor.

I used to be an illustrator and I know from speaking to my former colleagues that they have, in fact, lost work to AI image generation services. Illustration is seen as a cost center by anyone higher than front line art directors and taste normally stops at that level as well. I think this will eventually end up with a bimodal distribution of undifferentiated AI slop and those who use high-quality human illustration to signal a commitment to taste, design, or maybe even luxury, but the economic consequences of that shift are already in motion.
Has anyone used `git describe` in anger?
I guess you should outline the cases you care the most about, for anyone to be able to answer if there is any material performance improvements.

For any given fixed size that people use in practice, there is a name that does not fit. This is saying "use a variable-length field for names, because there are always edge-cases".

His father was Antonio Jullien, a violinist. The explanation of his unusual number of names is that when the time came for the baby to be baptised, his father had been invited to play at a concert given by the Sisteron Philharmonic Society, and considered it only polite to ask one of the members of the orchestra to be godfather: but since every member wished to be considered for the privilege, he was christened with the names of all thirty-six members of the society.

I assume the US is willing to do this because we do it frequently, though not with China or Russia. I’m not sure about the DPRK, and was asking more of a technical question than a political one.
