Waymo also has drivers. They are just remote and they intervene when needed. Waymois is also bound to highly mapped roads in a few cities.

Don’t get me wrong waymo is impressive, I use it as much as possible. The future looks amazing. Do you also agree Tesla’s self driving is impressive?

Yes I think this points to the need for adaptiveness which remains humans edge.

We don't need PBs of training data, millions of compute, and hours upon hours of training.

You could sit down a moderately intelligent intern as a mechanical turk to perform this workflow with only a few minutes of instruction and get a reasonably good result.
They taught us this in fencing as a side discussion (like during a break). Apparently it isn't true, as other commenters pointed out.

The button side of jackets thing is true though, except usually also told wrong. We're often taught in fencing that men's jackets button left over right so that a sword drawn by a right handed person doesn't fuck up your own clothing. That's also wrong, but close: men's jackets button left over right because you traditionally put your shielded side forward, your left side, and you wanted any armor pieces to overlap so that there's no holes to get caught in if you're poked from the left. Which is a stance backwards from later style one handed fencing. The not messing up clothes on the draw of a sword is just extra bonus from the original reason.

On the other hand, nearly everyone believes in black holes, and there's no practical use for that information. The difference is that "we pointed a telescope at the sky and saw something" is easier for a layman to understand and requires somewhat less trust than "we did a bunch of complex statistical work on data from a machine you couldn't possibly hope to understand."
Wow, what a powerful open-source project! I hadn't come across it before—thank you for the suggestion!
There’s some truth to both. What’s good for computers is often good for humans, but there’s a balance to be had. The elision rules are an acknowledgment that being 100% explicit in surface syntax is going a bit too far, even if it’s important info for the computer to have.

Why even use any of these? I thought the goal was to be an alternative.
Another interesting aspect of modern human evolution is the fact that brave men have a higher risk of dying in war, extreme sports, etc.

Will male risk behavior be more similar to female risk behavior, 10000 years from now?

Nowadays, the use-case for masculine bravery is more or less obsolete. It had a purpose when there were wild animals roaming around human habitations, but nowadays it may very well trick a man into becoming a war casualty.

Historians of the future might look back on pro-conscription advocates as those who stood in the way of the modern human.
While a minimum wage worker would feel giving up $200, I wouldn’t notice giving up $1k-2k. While that’s less than 5 for me%, the utility of money diminishes as one’s money increases. I’m certain no one making >$50M feels any difference from another $5M-6M.
That's an interesting idea to generate javascript and execute it client side rather than server side. I'm sure that saves a ton of money for Anthropic not by not having to spin up a server for each execution.

Exactly. They have revenue in the low 6 figures per vehicle annually, so they probably need to get the number of operational employees per vehicle down to around 1/10. Seems feasible, but they're probably not anywhere close to that yet.

In one case, greentheonly realized some fraction of Tesla’s cars are shipped out of the factory still in dev mode, with debug mode enabled and increased privileges. He found someone with a car like this who was down to helped and swapped part of his cars hardware with their car, and from then on was able to get a much better view of what was running on his car.

Unfortunately twitter is awful to search and a lot of his info is buried deep in old threads, but a few (old) examples to illustrate that he regularly does this.

Right, I think it's just a case of following the technologies throughout the ages in alignment with the political/cultural climate.

Computers are "newcomers", and by that point there was big political push for mass surveillance and anti-privacy propaganda was picking up. People have gotten less privacy conscious as time goes on so our laws regarding technology reflect that.

Also the nature of the tech matters, I think. Post is fairly simple to ensure privacy with, same with phone. You have to go out of your way to open things up or record them. Phones calls, by their nature, exist on the wire while they're happening.

But computers store things and that's a huge part of their usefulness. If you're already saving stuff to disk, which you probably are, there's no friction really with using that for nefarious uses. For example, request logging in a corporate environment. Although this doesn't explain things like recording screens.

I've been trying to figure out the right pattern for running untrusted JavaScript code in a browser sandbox that's controlled by a page for a while now, looks like Anthropic have figured that out. Hoping someone can reverse engineer exactly how they are doing this - their JavaScript code is too obfuscated for me to dig out the tricks, sadly.

No, but I could use supervised FSD today if I wanted ...

Musk has invented his own oxymoron --- "supervised Full Self Driving" --- which means not really full self driving at all.

Your car is ready to be a robotaxi --- as long as you are behind the wheel to supervise it.

If a driver is required, it's not a robotaxi is it?
Yeah, the VCL was the first UI framework I used.

With regards to multiple inheritance, this was the C++ Builder criticism, not mine. That and the extra macros needed to support the VCL. I was a Delphi guy, so I appreciated that the Object Pascal version of using the VCL was cleaner to use than the C++ interface.

We no longer use C++ for UI. Any native code is wrapped up in to P/Invokes. I think all of our MFC apps are EOL now. Everything is WPF or Maui for cross platform.
The best doctor I ever had didn't accept insurance. He charged market rates, but in line with the rates doctors charge insured patients rather than the (higher) rates charged to uninsured patients.

He did this to minimize his operating expenses. I still had my insurance cover visits, but I had to pay out of pocket and then get reimbursed myself.

>but sets up the species to become perpetually dependent on an elaborate, brittle medical infrastructure

How is this any different than the transition from hunter-gatherers to agriculture caused us to "become perpetually dependent on an elaborate, brittle agricultural infrastructure"?
The other pro is cost: cameras are much, much cheaper than LiDAR. Tesla is making the bet that they can close the performance gap between cameras and LiDAR faster than the cost of LiDAR will come down.

I'm really glad that Google/Waymo isn't the only player in this space. Everything Google invests in is ultimately to benefit their ad business. If Tesla wasn't also competing here, the future would be robot taxis that relentlessly bombard you with ads from start to finish and we would have no choice but to tolerate it.
Thanks, that was really detailed and simple to understand, unlike the gravelly rants I've heard.

Sounds like a stairwalking robot that has 360° cameras would be pretty useful
Hackernews is such a social circle. Besides the incredible moderation done by @dang I think the artificial barriers to interacting with the community are what make this a successful forum. I seem to recall needing at least 5 submission karma before you can comment - and that means 5 votes from _other_ people.
The benefits weren't "stopped", they were swapped out to something that's really a better model for everyone. Defined benefits plans are very hard to administer and they often fail when the investments don't deliver. At least defined contributions are more transparent for everyone.
They look kind of cool, and now I'm trying to come up with a project such that I can justify buying one.

> If purists insist on downvoting AI-assisted answers, I can live with that.

I'm no purist. I have seen AI comments that have genuinely been helpful on here, so I don't know what else to say, other than that I also have had to accept that sometimes HN doesn't roll the way I'd like either, but it's still the best place to post online the vast majority of the time.

To your original point:

> I see no reason to spend non-billable time writing an evanescent answer to a very-general question. Perplexity did a quite-serviceable job in just a few seconds.

I don't think posting on HN is meant to be measured in time, but in impact. I don't come here to read AI comments, but human comments. I'd wager the same is true of nearly everyone here, including you.
Yes, Elon puffery is silly, but so is throwing the comparison in favor of your preferred team by precision-selecting a metric that does so.

Gotta wonder what happens if aggression is bred out of the population genetics, then the aliens/AI/lost tribes/more isolated countries attack.

As the world moves back to increased nationalism, some cultures are increasingly militaristic while others become keyboard warriors. Over evolutionary time, that could create different enough human subspecies? Maybe we'll see Klingons after all.
Historically you have had at least some expectation of privacy. Because cameras didn't exist or weren't economical. You weren't being watched 24/7. So that type of thing can work and be effective for a business.

The extreme granularity of visibility and control employers have is a very new phenomenon. No doubt they benefit from it, but whether it's mutually beneficial is up for debate.
This will cover another 4 years of R&D. They have a very long way to go before the economics of their business make sense. They are pretty far from making money on a per ride basis. They'll have to show significant per ride profitability before they can scale.
I believe that last half of a century of relative peace in the West is the direct result of the "bravest" (whatever that label means here) in two world wars. So that less brave men (and women) could build in peace. Unfortunately the population of brave men mostly recovered and we are ready for the next great war in Europe that will devastate everything.
Maybe? The article I quoted was a big vague on that point, only mentioning "chip blueprints" which is pretty ambiguous.

However, some sources [1] say the "architectural license" is "higher license fee, fewer use constraints, greater commercial and technical interaction"

There are often two parts to the cost of these licenses - an upfront fee, and a per-chip royalty. So it could be both at the same time: Nuvia, who made few chips, might have negotiated a lower upfront fee and a higher per-chip royalty. Whereas Qualcomm, who make lots of chips, might have prioritised a lower per-chip royalty, even if the upfront fee was greater.

It still needs to be supervised for the edge cases, but the standard city roads and highways are a solved problem. I think some of the complex roads where you have to quickly cross two way traffic that doesn’t stop can be difficult, I don’t use fsd in that situation, it’s even hard for a human. Sometimes I’ll give it a nudge when it’s being too safe. There’s a construction area that I hit which would have caused the car to take a non optimal path, so I take over there on a regular basis, those issues do get fixed though. That’s about the only issues I have. It can now do things like drive down my long private unmapped driveway without issues.

My work is about 10 miles way in the Seattle area. I can go to and from with zero interventions until I get to my works parking garage
> I doubt Waymo is ever getting close to those numbers

Why? In theory, Waymo should be able to copy everything Baidu is doing, e.g. manufacture in a low-labor-cost country like India.

This is mainly about the technology, that's the hard problem. Optimizing the costs is something that has been done many times before and we know how to do it.
You'd think they'd do a quick check on the name before committing to it. I remember using Lingo with Macromedia Director, it was a nice little language
It's called negotiation. When you go to the car dealer, do you pay the full list price? Or do you make an offer that "fall[s] short of the demands?"

It sounds like you're using a relatively loose definition here. Masculine bravery is not constrained to only the physical realm.

I was one of those security/privacy people in the 00's who declined to join facebook or do any of the social media stuff. Feels like it was the right call.
Meta was the best possible company name for the social media machine, because when you turn it all off, you really do become less meta.

I'd suspect it's a bit like being a vegan, where it's a self-imposed constrant that makes you aloof from others and makes them treat you like an exception. It reduces some of the invites you get, and you just aren't up on the news about your friend groups as a result. We imagine it signals some kind of purity or difference, as though to say we're not like those regular IT people, maybe there's an air of mystery about what we might know, but it's just kind of fussy and it creates a polarizing filter where people really have to like you a lot to put up with the conditions you put on hanging out.

I still see the internet as a machine I operate for money and entertainment, and not the substrate of my identity or reality. This is also a fairly masculine coded view, as it dismisses the public sphere of gossip and narratives as separate from a Real made of consequences and competence, where the internet is not a dominion of truth the way real friendships are. It sounds marginal in the current discourse, but really there are still operators around who know ways out of this hallucination a lot of people were born into and can't see the edges of. It's not a mystery, you just turn the phone off for a bit and then live and relate according to the results.
Wiretapping is largely illegal except for some specific clauses for specific types of work.

But generally, your employer is not allowed to arbitrarily record your phone calls.
When operations are scaled up and routine, robotaxis will have a short life, probably 3 years or less. Even at $100k/car every 3 years, that's probably 10% of LTV for the cars.

Uber knows this. They just did not have the money or tech Alphabet could bring to bear.

Gonna be interesting to see if this ends up true or not :) In the end, there won't be a Boeing if no one wants to work there, and no one is gonna want to work there if you can't sustain your own life on what you get from working there.

evolution in humans is about who survives, right? more specifically about who survives before having children who themselves survive with or without their parents

The official specifications are more conservative than what is possible with memory overclock profiles like Intel XMP and AMD EXPO. The Phoenix tests show 285K at both DDR5-6400 and DDR5-8000. It is possible to go higher than the official 5600 MT/s with Zen 5 as well, but there is less headroom, with 6400 MT/s being the limit according to TPU [1].

It's different when you're randomly drafting conscripts from the overall population though, vs having "brave" genes self-select into mortal combat before they can reproduce.
We can dream of what it would be like with full POSIX support on Windows, but it was a pipe dream to begin with. There are some major differences between Windows and POSIX semantics for things like processes and files. The differences are severe enough that Windows and POSIX processes can’t coexist. The big issue with files is that on POSIX, you can conceptually think of a file as an inode, with zero or more paths pointing to it. On Windows, you conceptually think of a file as the path itself, and you can create mandatory locks. There are other differences. Maybe you could address these given enough time, but WSL’s solution is to basically isolate Windows and Linux, which makes a ton of sense.
You seem to be stating this as some kind of gotcha.

1. Since that video, FSD 12.5.6.1 has been released, and v13 (which is what is rumored to have been used on Cybercab) is just around the corner. It is completely disingenuius to point to a video 7 months old (on FSD 12.3!) and insinuate that it is representative of the current experience.

2. In FSD, interventions are in your hands. With Waymo in the same situation, your fate lies solely in the remote operator watching your vehicle and how quickly they are able to react. FSD is obviously not perfect but the rate of interventions plummets with every new major release.

I can't find the source at the moment, but I've seen it reported in the past that engineers are actually unusually likely to be fundamentalist Christians who believe in creationism. Engineers are also unusually likely to be Islamist terrorists, though there are many reasons for that.

The biggest thing we're doing now is accumulating a huge amount of genetic diversity, full of all sorts of novel mutations and interesting admixtures.

It's hard to know what genes or traits will be advantageous over the next centuries. The biggest place where our technological advantage still has large gaps that our biology can compensate is disease, and there it's almost random -- a gene that results in a novel protein which is normally advantageous or disadvantageous might have the opposite effect if it makes you exceptionally vulnerable or resistant to a new disease.

There were some viral threads going around for a bit that were focused on this word. It never made sense to me - presumably an LLM that outputs the word delve does so because it learned it from the data it was trained on, meaning delve was already a common word.

I personally have used the word for many years, and have seen it extensively pre-LLM. To me, it’s only a red flag when someone starts producing content that doesn’t match their prior history of writing with a sudden explosion of vocabulary.
