The report from Tesla is very biased. It doesn't normalize for the difficulty of the conditions involved, and is basically for marketing purposes.

IMO, the challenge for NHTSA is that they can get tremendous detail from Tesla but not from other makes. This will make it very difficult for them to get a solid baseline for collisions due to glare in non-FSD equipped vehicles.

That's not even what block was doing. This is the muting feature in X, which I personally find more useful. Blocking is about stopping the other user from being able to engage with your posts. I never block somebody without muting them, but it is prob good that they have them as separate features, because you can mute somebody without them being able to know it in this way.
The whaling industry as depicted in Moby Dick is pretty high on my list of the most unbelievable things that really happened. Particularly the range of the boats and the method of catching the whales. Up there with the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and how the East India company managed to dominate the entire country in terms of sheer implausibility.
It's not wildly different. You have this assumption of doctors that is not secured by the structure of incentives, so where does your confidence in this assumption come from? We just had a discussion¹ on HN a few days ago about routine unnecessary dental procedures. When a professional recommends that you get a root canal, how is that not coercion under this perspective? Whether we're talking about euthanasia or organ transplants or plastic surgery, to what degree is the doctor on your side? How do you know?

Ofc the above discussion is about asymmetry of information and the structure of incentives. Let's also try another idea. What if professionals don't try to push you in any particular direction and instead just dump information on you?

Oh, you're getting sued? Here's some case law. But what should I do with this case law? Should I countersue? How should I defend? Well, maybe you want to do this, in the past some clients have done this, but some clients have also done something else. Whatever choice you make I'll support you all the way.

People pay for strong persuasion. In other words, people pay for the professional to take over decision making. If that's the case, then professional trust and the structure of incentives are the only factors left in play. If the professional tries to play with a light hand and just throws facts at people without putting their thumb on the scale, in some sense they're dumping some of their responsibility back onto the client.

This is also end-to-end encrypted, and the client and server code is open source/source available.

The reason to use Bitwarden could be that you already trust it with something else, and could have taken time and audit that it is indeed legit, or trust others to complain loudly if they find something wrong with the code. Personally, I’d self-host it (or the open source, lighter on resources Vaultwarden), just as an additional safeguard.
Does the XPS use a lot more power than the pi 4?
It’s not.

The traditional proof that there are an infinite number of primes relies on unique prime factorisation- i.e for any number, n, there is a unique set of primes p1, p2, p3, … etc. where p1 * p2 * p3 * … = n

For instance 88 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 11, 42 = 2 * 3 * 7

It’s worth reading the proof if you haven’t - it’s comprehensible with high school maths.

No such property exists for Mersenne primes, so we can’t trivially extend it. Many proofs of the properties of prime numbers are difficult because they, by definition, actively resist patterns.

> The claim of a new form of “dark” matter—unseen and unseeable and present in far greater quantities than the visible matter of the universe—was not a simple explanation, but it turned out to be the best explanation.

I feel the key here is that the observations didn't match previous theories' predictions, and so needed new explanation. It's "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity" not "entities should not be multiplied even when it becomes necessary". To break Occam's Razor, you could additionally postulate "purple matter" that doesn't interact (even through gravity) and is not required for any of our current observations.

> But unless we are prepared to make assumptions about God and nature, there is no good reason that we should prefer a simpler explanation to a complex one.

For practical concerns, if two theories make the same predictions, it'll generally be best to prefer the one that's easier to work with. Often this applies even when we know a theory is less predictive, like classical mechanics, if it makes things much simpler and the error is negligible.

As to what's "actually true" about nature, someone assuming {A, B} is strictly more likely to be wrong than someone only assuming {A}. There's no absolute guarantee about assuming {A, B} vs {C}, in which you make fewer but different assumptions, but even if nature actively favored more complicated explanations (say the "real explanation" is 20% likely to be a one-letter set and 80% likely to be a two-letter set) you're still more likely to be "correct" by choosing a simpler explanation just because there's far fewer possibilities for them.

> Amusingly, in its war against WP Engine, Automattic might have created the single best advertisement for their chief rival. WP Engine now has proof it’s immune to unauthorized plugin takeover.

This is a great point. By weaponizing the fact that Automatic controls the plugin registry against a rival by doing something (at best) dangerously adjacent to a supply chain attack, WP Engine stands out now as uniquely immune to that type of attack.

This whole thing makes me sad, I used to use wordpress back in the 2000s and even had some plugins in the directory at the time. I was rooting for Matt but the more I read about this the more it seems like Automattic isn't the good actor here.

In this case, I do not think so. NHTSA generally does an excellent job of looking at the big picture without bias.

Although I must admit that their last investigation felt like an exception. The changes that they enforced seemed to be fairly dubious.

> The total society wide harms of legalization are higher than the total society wide harms of criminalization.

We have quite a lot of evidence to the contrary.

In the US, marijuana legalization is being fought because the criminalization provides so much revenue to the enforcement system. That's a REALLY, REALLY BAD perverse incentive and it does an enormous amount of very visible damage. It provides incentives to jail people rather than treat them. It corrupts the "justice" system with monetary incentives. It funnels money into black market operators. etc.

Unfortunately, the only real way to control that perverse incentive is to legalize. Yes, there are other ways, but they require a significant amount of sustained political will that is much harder to muster than that required for simple legalization.
This seems like a pretty damning indictment of Automattic. The WordPress foundation (that they presumably set up) may have rules that give them legal cover for some of the moves they’re making, but it’s going to hurt them in the court of public opinion. I think that matters to developers, who are the people ultimately responsible for choosing whether or not to contribute to / use their product. It’s true that migration cost might prevent churn from these actions right now but stopping the train of logic there seems short sighted. What about all the business that they may have received in the future that they might not get now because they’ve tarnished their brand?

Yes, of course, a report of an event is a different thing from the event itself, but do you have more reason to suspect this report than an average one? It seems the difference between pain and a surprising lack of pain would be a salient feature of an experience, which we would normally take to be well-remembered.

And I don't know why you bring in what is bad "evolutionarily". I was talking about how an animal undergoing the experience would feel it. Evolution is an explanation for why we see the diversity that we do in living things, but it doesn't confer an evaluation about what is better or worse. Evolution is fine with you being eaten by a predator, as long as, on the average, you've done enough reproducing first.

I don't agree (of course), but admittedly it is difficult-to-impossible to measure the harms on either side at that level of aggregation. i.e. across all society.

But from the perspective of the individual user, for the vast majority of people, being thrown in jail would be so much more harmful than any negative effects they or those around them would ever experience from cannabis usage.

I had a hard time working for an ex-McKinsey/Deloitte/MBA type a while ago for similar reasons: it was always favourable to push a quick hack to resolve an immediate issue, and literally nothing else mattered.

If you had to fight fires all hours day, night and weekend to keep on top of it, then so what? That’s the job. Getting heart palpitations because the red circle came up on the Slack icon on your screen? That’s the job.

Even with a clear path to a mid-term or even sustainable solution, it was like you weren’t building software but in a constant race to keep ARR ahead of churn, like in Wallace and Gromit where Gromit is frantically laying down track to keep his train going. Does the software even work? Who cares… it’s the $$$ that count.

I wasn’t really built for that, I felt like I was at odds with my own passion and I didn’t really want to put my name to the work I was doing.
WireGuard shouldn't consume energy when idle. Turn off KeepAlive, if your network setup allows for it (on most platforms, the official WireGuard implementation can roam just fine).
Yea, it's complex!
To save costs and weight on battery, sure.

I don't know Chinese use cases, but in continental Europe many machines don't run full 500km every day, even many private made less then 100km per day, so they don't need 500km range. Not for all 200km enough, many need about 220km..300km for commute (two commutes per day, so could charge battery at parking).

So, with halved battery size, you will got cheaper EV and more space for passengers and luggage.

Large range is a must for business (semi)-cargo machines and for taxi.

Not that I disagree (or agree) but I would like to know (out of curiosity) how would you (or the source of this information) got the number > 300M bot accounts. Do this include inactive accounts? Does this include people with multiple accounts?

And how would you determine that without access to the database? Is there a tools that can help you derive this number based on some statistical analysis? I would be very interested in the details.

Hint: I am not trying to start a debate around X policies or Musk. I just find that it could be interesting the way we can get into this number if it is supported by any rigorous methodology.
> Let me know if you think this doesn't belong here.

No, posts like this are not disallowed, but neither is it the main goal of the site. Self-promotion is allowed... if it is a minor component of your contributions to the site. You do contribute to the site, so that would not be a problem. I'd recommend you just put up a blog, and post an occasional link to an off-HN post. When you do post here, don't copy/paste markdown. It doesn't render and makes the whole thing harder to read.

Personally, I dislike these types of posts, but I'm just one guy. There are probably a variety of opinions on the matter.

> That looks like three deeper problems than the consultants were tasked to solve.

No, this is exactly the reason the consultants were hired. Not to solve the cultural problems, but to work the broken process. It's not really in the consultants interest to solve the cultural problems anyway, because it drives repeat business.
I mean, yes they might close up shop entirely but that's not really an outcome they want.

Really, Boeing needs to have a come to jesus moment on several different things - they need to say "hey so clearly SLS is a mistake, we need to develop something like Starship, give us $5 billion we'll make it happen."

Although it also seems like they need to have a better engineering culture and organizationally they would prefer to retaliate against engineers trying to improve their culture. If they don't fix that, probably can't fix anything. But also if they had a good engineering culture they probably would've scrapped SLS 5 years ago.
> I think it's because organizations can only work at scale if they minimize the variance of each individual business unit, and malleability threatens that.

Tesla jumped the gun on the FSD free trial earlier this year. It was nowhere near good enough at the time. Most people who tried it for the first time probably share your opinion.

That said, there is a night and day difference between FSD 12.3 that you experienced earlier this year and the latest version 12.6. It will still make mistakes from time to time but the improvement is massive and obvious. More importantly, the rate of improvement in the past two months has been much faster than before.

Yesterday I spent an hour in the car over three drives and did not have to turn the steering wheel at all except for parking. That never happened on 12.3. And I don't even have 12.6 yet, this is still 12.5; others report that 12.6 is a noticeable improvement over 12.5. And version 13 is scheduled for release in the next two weeks, and the FSD team has actually hit their last few release milestones.

People are right that it is still not ready yet, but if they think it will stay that way forever they are about to be very surprised. At the current rate of improvement it will be quite good within a year and in two or three I could see it actually reaching the point where it could operate unsupervised.
