I used Open Pilot for ~4 years. According to connect I have 8,000 miles on Comma 2, 20,000 on Comma 3 and 2,000 on Comma 3x. I recently sold my Rav 4 and went to a Tesla. Open Pilot is actually better in a lot of ways than default Tesla auto pilot, especially because it doesn't do crazy fantom braking on freeway. Open Pilot is also way ahead of pretty much every lane assist / adaptive cruise control systems.

Obviously, FSD is way ahead of e2e open pilot with navigation, but since Open Pilot can apply very little torque to the wheel, it can't do anything gnarly. I actually trust Open pilot more at this point but I guess I just need more time with FSD. Some of that is because longitude was Toyota controlled until I used the e2e longitude model more.

Even on "chill" mode, FSD will make random quick lane changes to turn only lanes to try to get around traffic. This is 12.5.2. Even so FSD can get me from point A to B with no interventions 98% of the time.

FDA approves first at-home flu vaccine in U.S., a nasal spray
No. An element of a distributed system that wants to debit from bank accounts must acknowledge the receipt of a message after making its effects durable. That system may fail between the change being durable and the acknowledgment making it back to the original sender.

That element must tolerate that debit being delivered multiple times. And we can't even solve that problem by a higher-order system providing "reliable delivery" on that element, unless that thing persists atomically with the application performing the transaction (or the application itself tolerates multiple delivery).
The number of things that can't be shipped is extremely small. And I don't think that Docker is a silver bullet for Wayland vs X11 issues? Although I'm not sure about the fine details as I don't have a ton of experience there. Shouldn't you be using an abstraction that can automatically support which ever is available?

I tend to ship code that needs to run on Linux + macOS + Windows + Android. So Docker is a total non-option. And it's totally fine! Very easy in fact.
CISA boss: Makers of insecure software are the real cyber villains
Exactly, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai / Kia, etc have systems, they're just nowhere near Open pilot.
Yes. Also "other kinds of predictive models" in my comment refers to models other than generative language models, e.g. image classifiers or regression models etc. Those don't generate tokens, they output labels and the error of the labeling is constant (well, within error bounds). This was in response to OP's comment about "all prediction machines that make errors."
> Apple … has been working on it in secret for years.

I keep hoping Apple will release a MacBook with a 5G chipset. The rumors are saying their in house one will ready in 2026 at the earliest. It sure seems like a long road given they bought the intel RF division in 2019.
Very excited to use this!
Now that’s what I’d call nuclear engineering!

More seriously, spin polarized D-T fusion is known to have an enhanced reaction cross section, so there are labs out there researching how to implement it more reliably.

Early on this media was the best for long term archiving, but as with all things this is no longer the case.

Both the player and the media cost quite a bit initially, but it was worth it when you needed to know the media would not degrade in austere environments.

Unfortunately, in recent years SONY decided the media product was to be replaced and made a brand instead, and anyone who didn't catch that press release kept buying the media that degrades, and found out later about the issues (after degradation and loss had already occurred).

This happened sometime between 2020 and 2022 iirc.

All MDISC branded discs were replaced with bluray disc media while keeping the inflated price tag for the brand.

Degradation of data is important for some of us, which is why this product had a marketable place with archivists, where BD simply would not cut it. Data needed to be archived for the long-term (i.e. > 10 years).

The degradation of the dye/film in sunlight for BD media was a significant problem, and remains a problem today.

In a 10 year period, varying greatly depending on UV/light exposure, there is detectable degradation in any BD-based media.
As is true with a lot of developer tooling. Including Docker Desktop itself.

Given he says "I migrated away from Dropbox" and "I had no desire to reactivate my account" suggests that his data is doing just fine elsewhere and he doesn't mind if Dropbox deletes it or not, he's just laughing at the desperation of the begging spam he doesn't want.
TI basic was pretty frustrating. The best thing I made was a program to calculate default WEP keys for Verizon routers based on the SSID. Converting bases was only possible by recreating all alphabet strings and then indexing those and doing all the modulo math as well (at least it had that!). I hadn't gotten into any real languages at that point but was messing around with qbasic on a Win98 laptop at home so I was just starting to get comfortable with programming. While frustrating sometimes, the challenge of doing complex things with crude tools is pretty refreshing compared to nowadays where you can build an artificial intelligence in like 3 lines of code. For some of my personal projects, I make a point of avoiding any imports outside of built-in libraries if I can implement it good enough in less than an hour, kind of like "showing my work".
> Yes. Do you really think I did not already know that?

Well, if the application and this mythical higher-level thing have to do things atomically and be tightly wed, but you're insistent on calling them different entities so that you can win an internet argument that the second one is not getting duplicate "deliveries" ... then that's honestly kind of sad.

The literature has used the term "delivery" like this basically 100% of the time for the past 20 years, and the majority of the time somewhere else. You can argue that your definition makes sense to you, but when everyone else uses the term the other way it's not helpful. Anyone can choose to define words differently from everyone else and then try to lawyer it out, but it's not likely to be useful or accepted.
What precisely are you lot referring to?
I'm familiar with the Halting Problem, and glancingly familiar with Ω / Chaitin's constant(s). But I'm not familiar with any kind of uncomputable sequence which we know how to get the first few binary digits out of that has profound things to say about math and is somehow related to the Halting problem.
And trying to Google it doesn't help as I just get search result noise about the Halting problem itself with no reference to any special kinds of sequence.
Can’t find an article but I thought emergency services used an old mesh network for emergency communication in NYC on 9/11? Could be wrong though since I can’t find anything on it
It helps with unstructured stress, but this is pretty actionable. There’s usually no reason to “live through” important lessons.
There are lots of laundry-folding "graduate student robotics project" systems. Most of the videos of them are sped up 8x to make them "merely slow", and involve a rough surface to drag the material against - since they typically use one gripper; two-coordinated-grippers is still a mostly demo/research thing.
I do a lot of Indian cooking also and have for decades, and my suggestion is to just play around with tastes and smells. Dry roasting especially your nose is your friend. That or corner an established South Asian chef and talk to them about their use of spices :)

Acid is also really important for veg proteins because most veg proteins on their own have very little flavor. You can impart umami through various ways but umami without at least a bit of acid does not come across balanced on the palate, so you need to balance the acid with the umami.
Whoever wants to buy out Intel needs to convince both Intel and AMD that the subsequent arrangement will be better than the monopoly-but-not-a-monopoly they enjoy today.

I'm willing to bet AMD would sooner spend money bailing Intel out to keep that going first before entertaining thoughts about sharing their cake.
It doesn’t seem like the author is upset about this, just interested in seeing what the eventual outcome is. It is interesting to see the tension in their emails between wanting to get the user back as a subscriber and not wanting to continue to host their files for free.
> My statement is pretty clear - using a privacy tool can single you out. Am I afraid of that in the US? Nope, not really.

Which does imply that the "singles you out" argument doesn't really apply to anyone who is in the US or any country with a non-authoritarian government.

> Would I be afraid of that in, say, Iran? North Korea? Russia? Israel? China? Probably.

But in those cases your problem is the alternative. If you don't use Tor then you're trapped between the oppressive option of self-censorship or the even more dangerous option of not censoring yourself while also not using any privacy technology.

Moreover, the more people use it the less using it singles anyone out, and the more people contribute to making it harder to detect etc. See also Hofstadter's theory of superrationality.

> You know a clear way to avoid this risk entirely? Don't trust your communications to a public network.

"Just build your own internet" is frequently not a realistic proposal.
Some cultures propagate misogyny. Abuse can never be explained away by culture. There are ways to be straight to the point about someone's work without hurling personal insults. I have worked with many people of different backgrounds and never once felt their culture truly in the behavior Linus displays. I'm not saying he needs to be politically correct, only try to be decent to his fellow person.

Sure, but on the other hand what happens if Gen AI bursts after all of this infra development?

- price of electricity goes wayyyyy down

- stigma around using atomic elements goes down

- price of excess available compute goes wayyy down (or the second hand market becomes side project budget range)

With excess electricity we can do a lot of things like Carbon Capture, water purification, power hadron colliders, replace gas stoves, etc. and with price of computer going down it makes more sense for certain industries to double down on tech. Essentially we are able utilise cheaper electricity + compute to patch over problems. On the other hand if the AI tech bros’s magic konch shell can lead innovations then I wouldn’t mind that either.

The simple solution here is to simply not use Dropbox, or for that matter any service with bad customer service and the asserted right to scan through your files stored with them (looking at you too Google). Why even bother trusting them with that terabyte of data?

Edit: What a shit show of passive aggressive dark patterns from the company. This is grossly common among today's tech giants, and laughably absurd, especially when their CEOs go on the media lecture circuit to talk about things like social responsibility and treating users with respect.
Misaligned incentives + tragedy of the commons explains most of them.

At small scales (up to maybe 10 employees) the individual performance of employees is fairly directly tied to their compensation. If they do well, the company does well, and they get paid because of that. Even a single employee doing zero productive work can be such a drain on profitability that it can make or break the entire company. Hence, everyone has to contribute to the productivity in a positive way.

As companies grow through medium size (100-1000 staff), the employees can get away with being unproductive or even counterproductive. This is because efficiencies of scale start to materialise in a big way, compensating for even a fairly large subset of employees basically doing nothing useful. That merely decreases profitability to just 10-20% instead of the 60% that ought to be possible, which isn't catastrophic by itself, hence it is allowed to persist.

As companies grow past 10K staff and the decades go past, the real enshittification begins. More and more managers at increasingly senior levels are now there purely to convert "the commons" (the communal value of the company, such as customer goodwill) into personal profit. For example, a hypothetical company that has the motto "Do No Evil" might have a manager attain promotion to higher ranks through a just a bit of evil. This is basically "cheating", which works, so they get promoted. They're a senior manager now. Rinse and repeat until all senior managers obtained their position and power over the organisation this way. Now the entire organisation is evil because everyone making the decisions is a self-interested cheater instead of a hard-working product builder.

This is how you get ads in the start menu of an operating system you paid for. That got one guy a promotion, at the expense of a trillion dollar business.

You, the customer, will now seriously start considering switching to a different operating system, along with millions and then eventually billions of other similarly upset customers. All because of one guy. One! Eeeexcept... it's never just one person. It's now every manager doing the same kind of self-interested evil thing, destroying the product through a million tiny cuts. That's the tragedy of the commons: "We all just have one cow, what's the problem? Oh everyone's cow fed there and now there's no more grass. Oops!"

More seriously, the terrible nature of start up/project names meant I actually read this as being

“Glass Antenna[software name] turns windows [operating System] in base stations [an actual base station or network hub]”

And it was not until I saw Ieee.org that I realized it actually meant real antennas, and even then my incorrect interpretation of the headline still seems plausible to me

Very nice, and much easier to manufacture than the old Takktile sensors https://biorobotics.harvard.edu/takktile.html - it also looks like you could use the skins to destructive levels of force, without damaging the circuit boards at all, with a stiff enough layer between the chips and the skin (the Takktile system put the epoxy directly in contact with the pressure sensors, so while you could use protective layers over that, it would necessarily reduce the sensitivity.)

How tech-independent is the policy learning part? Do the models end up relying on how the board is giving you direction vectors, rather than contact location? (Nothing wrong with that, I'm just wondering if the directional aspect "factors out" certain kinds of change, and thus simplifies the learning process.)
On the other hand, that's a rather ango-centric viewpoint.

For me the problem with Electron is the “uncanny valley” effect - every app implements its own UI elements, and nothing is quite the same as the OS’s native behaviour.

Different apps have different unique quirks/odd behaviour, almost none of them do the right thing on platforms like macOS.

After months of applying for jobs with no responses, I was feeling desperate. I realized it wasn’t just other candidates I was up against—it was algorithms filtering my resume before a human even saw it. Then I l develop this project land publish on GitHub, an AI bot that applies to jobs for you, and it completely changed things for me:

- It analyzes your personal info.
- Breaks down job descriptions.
- Generates custom CVs and cover letters for each job.
- Automatically answers recruiter questions.
- Applies to hundreds of jobs while you focus on other things.

The job market is dominated by automation, and this bot helps you get past those automated filters. After using it, I finally started getting responses and eventually landed a job. The project has 12,000 stars on GitHub and over 3,000 people on Telegram talking about it.

If you’re in the same situation, it’s worth a try.
My question is whether the cost of creating and sending all these emails outweigh the Dropbox recidivism they induce.

The Spiked artcle is dominated by impassioned rhetoric and lacks dull science.

He seeks to persuade with bombast:

All you really need to know about furin cleavage sites is that SARS-CoV-2 is the first and only SARS-like virus, out of many hundreds that have been described, ever to show up with a furin cleavage site in its spike gene. Sure enough, it’s an insertion, not a mutation, and it’s at the S1/S2 junction.

and ignores dull studies:

*Furin cleavage sites naturally occur in coronaviruses*

The spike protein is a focused target of COVID-19, a pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. A 12-nt insertion at S1/S2 in the spike coding sequence yields a furin cleavage site, which raised controversy views on origin of the virus. Here we analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of coronavirus spike proteins and mapped furin recognition motif on the tree. Furin cleavage sites occurred independently for multiple times in the evolution of the coronavirus family, supporting the natural occurring hypothesis of SARS-CoV-2.

Rails Security: Action Policy and Rabarber
That depends. For ITO it can be quite transparent (80-90%), if you do a good job of matching the index of refraction (otherwise you get weird yellowish reflections and blue transmission). For the nanotubes and metal mesh, it looks fairly neutral (grey >90% transmission), if they do a good job darkening the metal so it doesn't reflect. The OLED meshes are only 2-3um wide and actually aligned with the display sub-pixels (to allow their light through) and their reflections are blocked by circular polarizing films which help make the display black as well.

Just for clarification, the reason that ITO can be transparent even though it is conducting is due to a fairly novel effect where the bandgap of the material is just wide enough to allow most visible light (red-blue) through while still allowing electron conduction (degenerate bands due to Sn doping?). It's pretty cool. Most conductors (metals) have conduction bands that reflect visible light (though they might let X-rays or IR through). Most transparent materials (eg. glass, water) are insulators which have wide band gaps, but no conduction carriers (electrons or holes).

One counter example is Ruby (chromium doped sapphire) which looks red. If you heat it up the bandgap narrows and you it turns dark/black because only IR can get through, while if you cool it in LN2 they will turn light pink as the bandgap width increases!

My understanding is that Intel's chips weren't great and making power efficient 5g chips is wildly difficult. Thus ends my understanding of these issues, though.
Most of the scams happening in the crypto space involve a significant non-crypto element, like a fake website that is made to look another website, or social engineering through messages on Discord.

These criminals are well known by crypto communities, with repeat offenders targeting a given community numerous times over a course of months/years. Law enforcement has numerous opportunities to go after these individuals, even if they used a perfectly traceless cryptocurrency.

In the case of FTX, it was run like a traditional bank, taking deposits and holding users'crypto and fiat assets on their behalf. The signs of a fraud were replete for many months before the crash that exposed it all, but the company was simply never investigated.
