Tesla does it very well. My Tesla connects to my home wi-fi. When it's parked in the driveway it can download and install firmware updates. They are somewhat frequent. Other than major UI changes, I have been happy with the way they add features and ensure stability.

With the app it's very useful to be able to find out the location of the car, the status of the doors and windows, the current mileage, and be able to control the climate (Dog Mode, etc), warm up on cold mornings, cool down in summer. You can also get important notifications (i.e. Climate mode on for a long time, Door/Window is open, etc )

You might knock the remote climate feature but if you have dogs/kids/elderly it really improves their quality of life.

There's another recent feature which supports streaming music such as Apple Music, without your phone needed. This is convenient and useful.

Tesla charges $9.99 USD a month for this which I find to be extremely reasonable. ( I am an SRE and I know what it takes to maintain scalable secure infrastructures )

> To your second point, it's very funny how OpenAI seems to have soured the tech crowd on tech.

They represent an amplifier for the enshittening that was already souring the tech crown on tech.

LLM's used in this sort of way, which is exactly OpenAI's trillion dollar bet, will just make products appear to have larger capabilities while simultaneously making many capabilities far less reliable.

Most of the "win" in cases like this is for the product vendor cutting capital costs of development while inflating their marketability in the short term, at the expense of making everything they let it touch get more unpredictable and inconsistent. Optimistic/naive users jump in for the market promise of new and more dynamic features, but aren't being coached to anticipate the tradeoff.

It's the same thing we've been seeing in digital products for the last 15 years, and manufactured products for the last 40, but cranked up by an order of magnitude.

It's exhausting and disheartening.
Almost everyone involved knew it was a mistake, but was captured (directly or indirectly) by the profits to be made.
From Oni to Ramen: Every Japan-Themed Emoji
Right. "Supposedly." I've always avoided options that more or less locked me into a single location.

I do go up to my dad's--now brother's--place in Maine a few times a year but that's as much for family as having a need to go to a specific location. Absent family, I'd probably even vary that a bit.
There's a pretty big spectrum between perfect driving and a collision. FSD could drive on the wrong side of the road for miles with no accident because it's an empty road, or oncoming traffic swerved to avoid you.
> Your appetite isn't the problem.

1. We have people who live in the same culture as obese people and do not get obese.

2. We have people who have stress free occupations and can afford the healthiest food in the world and are obese despite of it.

3. It's also true that a couple of centuries ago we didn't have obesity.

Based on these observations, it's obvious that looking only at the culture is not enough. You need to look at biological differences between humans to understand why some of them respond to culture in specific ways. People don't have the same appetite, people with higher appetite are more susceptible to becoming obese.
JIRA is a form of Stockholm syndrome. Your life truly sucks if you think that makes it better. Some of the least agile places I've worked in used it (over-used it really). To be more agile, ironically.

If you aren't allowed to do anything if there's no Jira ticket, you just created a lot of process friction to get anything done. That's a great way to weed out things like independent thinking, initiative, and pro-active thinking. Jira is the perfect digital idea shredder.

Add approvals and nitpicking middle management and we're back to the good old days of people asking for TPS reports. Which is an Office Space reference, a satirical movie from the pre-agile era (25 years ago). Replace TPS reports with Jira ticket and you got most scrum sweat shops covered. It's uncanny how on point that movie still is. If you think things are different now, go (re-)watch that movie.

Organization wide agile is not a thing. That never really caught on. Processes like scrum are designed for small teams. Attempting to coordinate that with 100 teams is hard. And mostly futile. I've seen the results of companies that attempted this; not pretty. I once attended a sprint planning with 14 teams from all over the world. Because flying them in was expensive they only did that four times a year. So, to get anything on the agenda you needed to plan months ahead or you'd be too late. The agility of an oil tanker. I never saw so many postits in my life. All backed by Jira of course.

Most large companies have no such thing as company wide sprints for the simple reason that that's not a great way to run a company. Mostly they still operate the same way they always did: on quarterly and yearly reporting and targets. If products involve more than just software (like actual hardware of physical goods), that tends to dictate the planning.
Not really. Less waste means not spending time on non-essential features. That doesn't mean that the core features people are focused on will go any faster at all.

Someone (product owner) should be prioritizing the core things needed to be delivered which means you don't waste development and testing cycles on things like an extra button on the MS Office ribbon bar that does a hardly used feature.
The shovel salesmen in this case are the likes of Nvidia, Huggingface and Runpod who are on the receiving end of the billions that AI model salesmen are spending to make millions in revenue. HF are one of the vanishingly few AI-centric startups who claim to already be profitable, because they're positioned as a money sink for the other AI-centric startups who are bleeding cash.
o1 seems to be a step ahead for certain applications, but before that it seems that Claude Sonnet 3.5 was widely seen as the best model, and no doubt we'll be seeing next models from Anthropic shortly.

For corporate use cost/benefit is a big factor, not necessarily what narrow benchmarks your expensive top model can eke out a win on.
XP says that cards are tokens/mementos of conversations. That's the problem with Jira - the conversations didn't happen. All you have is electronic versions of the cards, but what made the cards useful is missing.

Yes the comparative lack of libraries and also the roughness of existing ones. I've only toyed a bit with F#, but getting libraries to work that were designed for C# were a bit of a struggle unlike Python, were the resistance to get something to work the first time is low.

History books, what are those? This is what the AI told me, and the AI is an impartial judge that can't possibly lie.
> Do we not have a ticket system?

Maybe we do, maybe we don't. Maybe there are two tickets with a mutual dependence.

Even without that, if you add a parameter to a method, and later someone uses it in a totally different PR, then you effectively can't revert the creation of the parameter. How are you going to track that dependency. I've heard the arguments about logical commits and the ability to cleanly revert them. I just haven't seen any code where that would actually work, even if the trouble was taking artisanally curate the commit history.
> You've said nothing of value and had no insight. No one's talking about full-on central planning. You've just uttered a strawman slogan for the unrestrained free market.

The case in discussion is not a full-on central planning, just core socialist policies that often fail. It is legitimate to regard the excuses as just excuses.

> But the unrestrained free market would objectively suck, which anyone with two brain cells who is not high on ideology can predict.

This is not the case of the article, nor is suggested by the parent. The housing code or other technical regulations regarding housing have not been removed, thus jumping to ideologies and disparaging them is besides the point[1] and a fallacy. What was lifted was a very common policy solution for the housing problem and it happened that things improved in its absence. Wherever people have been victims of these policies it is natural people respond to supporters with these simple slogans.

Those are 2 straw men there :D.

[1] I recently went through the anarchist political movements of the 19th century and some believed the State is immoral because it is a manifestation of violent power. We live in times where people try to excuse the State's violence primacy with laws which are moral, and that is actually the worst. It reliefs them of the burden that is to take something from the other fellow men. Whenever somebody suggests regulating something about private property they should imagine a mobster coming for extortion money. Maybe the mobster is a really really good guy and we kind of can choose the mobster, but he is still a mobster. I find this moral weight important to keep us and the powers that be from being a bad mobster.
Honestly every Copilot response I've gotten cited sources, many of which I've clicked. I'd say those work basically like free advertising.
Given that Musk was already worried about this and has a legal team the size of a small army, one would expect that any conditions he wanted applied to the donation would have been made at the time.

It might be. The library my banking app uses is called Promon Shield. It was broken in 2018 as part of this paper: https://obfuscator.re/nomorp-paper-dimva2018.pdf

> Promon Shield protects most of the banking apps on the German market. As of April 23, 2018, four out of the top ten financial apps in Germany make use of Promon’s solution.

I'm switching banks now to find one that lets me use my non rooted phone in peace.

As for why? I'm not sure. My guess is to prevent clueless people running their banking app with malware installed. preventing roots might just be a side-effect.

I would also suggest capping the amount that people can bet per week or month to prevent too many weak human minds from ruining their lives and worse than that ruining the lives of their wives and kids.
I have participated in a few meetings of some lottery boards, and I have heard that there is a tension here between the illegal market and the pricing of the legal market. Some states charge the (relatively low) commissions that the illegal market charges because they would prefer to stamp out the illegal market, and others take your position but have a thriving black market for gambling. Those are basically the two options.

I’m confused by this news story and the response here. No one seems to understand OpenAI’s corporate structure or non profits at all.

My understanding: OpenAI follows the same model Mozilla does. The nonprofit has owned a for-profit corporation called OpenAI Global, LLC that pays taxes on any revenue that isn’t directly in service of their mission (in a very narrow sense based on judicial precedent) since 2019 [1]. In Mozilla’s case that’s the revenue they make from making Google the default search engine and in OpenAI’s case that’s all their ChatGPT and API revenue. The vast majority (all?) engineers work for the for-profit and always have. The vast majority (all?) revenue goes through the for-profit which pays taxes on that revenue minus the usual business deductions. The only money that goes to the nonprofit tax-free are donations. Everything else is taxed at least once at the for-profit corporation. Almost every nonprofit that raises revenue outside of donations has to be structured more or less this way to pay taxes. They don’t get to just take any taxable revenue stream and declare it tax free.

All OpenAI is doing here is decoupling ownership of the for-profit entity from the nonprofit. They’re allowing the for profit to create more shares and distribute them to entities other than the non-profit. Or am I completely misinformed?

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI#2019:_Transition_from_n...
Yeah, that's what I meant.

I guess at the end it's all weighted tradeoffs for me too. I just put less weight on legibility and more on the ability to work on branches co-operatively without force-pushing.
In Argentina, they recently legalized internet gambling, and now there's a 'pandemic' of teenagers facing serious problems. It's ironic to see gambling ads during football games alongside state ads promoting support for gambling addicts.

> what criteria would be used to determine what is legally something the have to repair?

In the EU it’s just set at 2 years. Anything you buy has to last at least 2 years or the manufacturer has to repair, replace, or refund.

The Netherlands takes this further and says it must be supported for as long as one would reasonably expect it to last.

In the article he says he was specifically told they don’t support any product after 5 years, which I do not think anyone would assume to be the max lifetime for a $100k device.
Having a quick look at efsw, it depends on both libc and the windows API, both are huge dependencies. The Rust bindings for libc come to about 122 thousand lines, while the winapi crate is about 180 thousand lines.

[Edit] And for completeness, Microsoft's Windows crate is 630 thousand lines, though that goes way beyond simple bindings, and actually provides wrappers to make its use more idiomatic.
If you give a lambda to cargo-watch instead of a regexp, it has to be evaluated. Hence interpreter.
But his would those amounts be set? For some people $100/week would be a lot of money; for higher earners it'd be basically nothing.
Some time ago I had a conversation with someone who didn't know me. After a response of mine he asked if I'm being sarcastic, because he couldn't tell. Me neither.

Death by a million papercuts: after one too many of these "improved" processes, one too many of explaining the problem, asking for improvement you will either break or get used to it, get kind of catatonic when it comes to such crap and just focus on things that you can actually improve. I'd like to believe that I'm in the latter group, though it's hard to tell.

Forget the font rendering, it looks like a poorly tuned scaling filter with excessive ringing is being applied in the macOS case. That halo around the letters is the result of a sharpening or bicubic+ resampling filter that's turned up too high.
This is what I would say.

It does beg the question though, how’d we come up with the list of animals to pluralize like that? Why “five birds” but not “five deers?”
Why not tie it to IP law? When a compamy stops repairing/supporting a product, then applicable patents are moved to public domain and the software + firmware become open source. This would ensure that there is always a strong repair market one way or another.
There's some evidence ludopathy has a genetic component (aside from obviously environmental).

There are many memory safe languages, but not many of those are compiled and able to offer performance that is in the same ballpark as C.

Rust and Swift are the two most widely used.

Interestingly, Swift had interoperating with C as an explicit design goal, while Rust had data race safety as a design goal.

Now we have data race safety added in the latest version of Swift, and Rust looking to improve interoperability with C.
A lot of people saw the story. Without searching. Maybe more by simply searching openAI. Traffic gets sent in from external feeds etc. It's not buried. But the conversation is all disjointed now. Merging the [dupe] only makes it better/stronger.

> Hospitals are chalk-full of surgeons, doctors, and nurses that are all overworked, burned out, and half-awake.

A friend, who switched from electrical engineering to medicine, told me that the medical residency program in the US was essentially molded by a doctor who was a cocaine addict; seemingly a lot of his students were, too. Maybe it’s a lot easier to work ridiculously long hours when you’re hopped up on coke.

The (admittedly limited) looking I did into the topic suggests that there’s at least a kernel of truth to that story — if not more.

You can look for yourself: the doctor’s name was William Stewart Halsted.

Tongue-in-cheek, but maybe the ADHD medications that doctors and academics often abuse today aren’t as efficacious as good old fashioned cocaine in keeping people working for 80+ hours a week.

To be fair, I don’t think cocaine was illegal during Halsted’s time, though he was in and out of treatment for that and, later, morphine addiction.
Sort of the whole point of this style of waveguide optics is that the screen is not pressed up against your eyeballs. It's projected out 3-6 feet in front of you (and ideally, anchored to the real world in some way).

> Google’s and OpenAI often answered far-left, Progressive, and atheist.

Can you share some conversations where the AI answers fall in to these categories. I'm especially interested in seeing an honest conversation that results in a response you'd consider 'far-left'.

> These political systems don’t represent the majority of the world.

Okay… but just because the majority of people believe something doesn't necessarily make it true. You should also be willing to accept the possibly that it's not 'targeted suppression' but that the model has 'learned' and to show both sides would be a form of suppression.

For example while it's not the majority, there's a scarily large number of people that believe the Earth is flat. If you tell an LLM that the Earth is flat it'll likely disagree. Someone that actually believes the Earth is flat could see this as the Round-Earther creators promoting their own views when the 'alignment' could simply be to focus on ideas with some amount of scientific backing.
This is basically where I am at. I live in Illinois and it used to be you could bet at the race track or a couple Off Track Betting locations, otherwise you would have to go to a casino which was probably a distance away. Then they legalized Video Gambling and it popped up in a bunch of bars, restaurants, and stand alone places. You even see it in gas stations sometimes. Now with sports betting online there are constant advertisements for it all the time. In just 15 years legalized gambling went from something relatively niche to extremely prevalent.
From the article:

> When Moscow launched bombing campaigns aimed at obliterating Ukraine’s internet infrastructure, Elon Musk began rushing tens of thousands of SpaceX Starlink transceivers into the country (...)

I don't think so. The US pulled it's wallet and started supplying Ukraine with Starlink systems. In the meantime Elon Musk was ordering Starlink to actively turn off Starlink systems being used by Ukraine.

Rent Control does exactly what it can do. It's a tool a government can use to reduce the pain the people feel while they do other things to address the root cause.
I think illegal sports gambling was less pernicious. The usual bookie offered bets on the outcome of games which are much harder to manipulate than the stupid prop bets that people get addicted to now. The stigma of being involved in something illegal also slowed things down, you had to actually call up a bookie and not just press a button on an app.
Rent controls limit the potential of the underlying asset by having Tennants hoard their current rent in ever degrading apartments. Its an artificial limitation on a resource that can be renewed to lower costs but you end up with a massive amount of rent hoarders afraid to shop around for better housing. It is such a disruption to incentives for both renters and home providers.
Organic molecules. Still neat.

> Hundreds of square miles of area around this crater are covered with a layer of organic chemicals, also called aliphatics. Researchers suggest that the chemicals must have formed only in the past few million years or so. This is because aliphatic compounds cannot sustain the constant bombardment of radiation in deep space for a long time.

> This has led them to conclude that these organic molecules formed in Ceres’s underground ocean within the last 10 million years or so.
Usually `.env` files are sourced into your development shell and also ignored by `.gitignore`.

The problem with `.env` files is that you're leaving credentials unencrypted on disk and it's easy to leak these files during screen sharing and with multiple projects there will eventually there will be so many secrets spread/sprawled everywhere that you lose track of what credentials are being used and what are expired. You want to be able to inject the required keys only when needed and leave no trace behind when not needed.

I wrote about this in our documentation for Polykey: https://polykey.com/docs/how-to-guides/developers/developmen...

We are still working out the kinks but I expect that one should be able to easily do `. <(polykey secrets env project-vault)` in whatever development shell you have, perhaps even reference a schema for expected keys.
