There are several possible reasons, but it may be because the strategic goals changed since WWI and WWII.

Those two worldwide wars were quasi-colonial wars. Powers of the time were competing to become as powerful economically and militarily as possible.

However, the war didn't end with WWII, since at any time there were around 20/30 wars in a quickly changing landscape. It's just that were not done in the Western world (except in the Balkans in the 1990').

Since that time there have been mostly two types of military conflicts by regional actors:

* Low-intensity conflicts (the multiple "liberation" armies, religious wars or warlords as in central Africa)

* Conflict between main powers via proxy.

I completely agree, but saying it's a 'recall' when your car sits in your driveway still feels entirely wrong.
Couldn't agree more. Recall means "sufficiently dangerous to need to recall the vehicle to the manufacturer" - yes, in the modern world it can be fixed OTA, but it's still dangerous enough to require a mass fix to a fast-moving death machine.
“President Biden (a graduate of the Ivies if I'm not mistaken)”

You’re quite mistaken there: he did his undergrad at the very public University of Delaware, and went to law school at private but definitely not Ivy League Syracuse.
Talking heads are inevitably talking about AGI, but there’s no public expectation, at least from those who understand the AI/AGI difference. We are in AI bubble definitely.

A bubble characterizes blind excessive expectations from an existing thing, like dotcom expected from the internet. It’s a snakeoil-craze type of situation. No one buys into a bubble of something that doesn’t exist yet, even if talks get talked.
They are called recalls because that’s what the term for legalisation mandates. They are issued when a vehicle is unsafe to drive and they are mandated because a manufacturer is required to take a lot of steps to remedy their failure. If they fail to repair the issue they are forced to issue full refunds as an example.

So no, the word recall is used because is the official terminology used for these issues regardless of the solution required to fix them.

The word does have its origin in a world where solutions were rarely software updates. That they are software issues make them no less serious though. I suspect that in some cases the software issues might indeed be far more dangerous than errors which mandate physical recalls.
If you are spending billions, surely you can bring in some people that speak both Chinese and the local language. Heck, there are even real-time translation services now. No, the problem is not technical, it's that it was a scam from the get go.

It really is though. Memory and thus data _and_ instruction encoding were incredibly important. Physical wires on the circuit board were at a premium then as well. It was an incredibly popular platform because it was highly capable while being stupidly cheap compared to other setups.

Engineering is all about tradeoffs. "Purity" almost never makes it on the whiteboard.
It seems like there's a difference between the discourse online and IRL. Whenever I talk to people online, I get this picture of people not really caring and, depending on the bubble, even being excited for conflict. However, when talking to people IRL, they are much more "conservative" in their opinions, and also more afraid.

What's closer to the truth? Tweets or real life conversations? I mean on one hand, there's less of a filter online and anonymity makes people dare say things they would otherwise not. It creates an interesting dynamic where other people hear those utterances and think just what you think: Why are people not afraid anymore? On the other hand, there's also a HUGE amount of bots and third parties influencing online discourse. I think it will only become apparent after say ~10-20 more years, on which scale online manipulation is actually taking place. It's insane.
Seats are extremely uncomfortable for people of certain heights. The main issue seems to be the headrests aren't adjustable without tools.

Rightfully so? I mean you can't build up a personality cult and then separate the guy from the product.

But regardless of musk, you have to agree that the cybertruck has issues and underdelivered.

Oh, well, that explains everything! Great insight... /s
Your poll is broken. My vote didn't get recorded.
He also mentioned they didn't specify certain details when ordering, leaving the Chinese to make choices, and that caused issues they had trouble with once delivered.

This might be a culture thing. At least next door here in Norway, a decent supplier will definitely ask when needed, offer suggestions and even resist if you try to order something stupid.
I'm a leftist and would definitely buy a cyber truck if I could park it easily
Recall is the industry-standard (and populace-understood) term for “this vehicle has a safety or reliability issue that must be resolved by the manufacturer.” It is all encompassing; anything from possibly loose lugnuts to faulty airbags to engine failures to yes, the reverse camera failing to appear. It doesn’t matter if the manufacturer ships an OTA update, shows up at your house with a loaner and a flatbed to take your car, or requires you to go into the dealership for service, it’s a recall.
They can be blinded by the sun too.

I worked as a reaserch engineer at a uni playing with a 16 beam Velodyne when those were fancy.

Put it on a car for a demo day, drawing the dots in 3d and marking obstacles red, and during sun set there was artifacts with no obvious way to filter out.

Strangely, I was never able to recreate this. I think was some specific athmospheric condition.
It's like corporations are in control, not the people, right?
So, does that mean that all the Tesla on the roads won't become robotaxis with a simple over the air update ?
But at least, Optimus is still scheduled to start serious work in factory right ? /s

On a more serious note, I don't get why people think robotaxi have such a huge business potential. Robotaxi are certainly the future - that's undenialable. But is it such a good business ?

I don't see many people ditching their cars for a Robotaxi. Those who would, don't own a car anwyay.
As for margins, it seems to me like it will be a race to 0, quite like airlines, with very little profit to be really made.

I have to thank Redis Inc. for bringing on this shitshow. I had no idea about Valkey and now I do. Corporate hats should consider the loss of general trust and negative marketing their actions produce.

And yeah, I wish FSF or some other, strong and well-funded org would be more "broken glass" and take issue with even the tiniest of legal fights over OSS.
> My question has rather been that, if suffering is required and a child getting bone cancer and dying at five is the best of all possible worlds, maybe the whole project should have been scrapped at the planning phase. I assume God was not forced to create a world?

It is not really possible to answer these questions when one does not know the spiritual infrastructure. Eg, say reincarnation of the soul is real, and in a previous life a soul has been in the body of an industrialist on whose account cancer causing pollution was spewed out. In the next incarnation, it seems valid for that soul to experience the effect of the earlier incarnation's actions. If that is it, the soul may in fact be learning and growing, which may be the point of the exercise.

I know that this is all conjecture, but I hope I am relaying my point - that without understanding the spiritual domain, these sorts of moral appraisals are moot.
Most cars don't end up scratched. They definitely don't end up scratched after 1 year.

> I wonder if you exclude "recalls" resolved by software updates, for all cars, where it would rank then?

While I agree that the term "recall" is overloaded, the Cybertruck has had some pretty spicy safety related "recalls". Issues that, frankly, it should not have been allowed onto public roads with.
The problem is that having that rule results in those 1%s always being excluded. It's probably worth just going back and looking at the arguments for laws around accessibility.

Are ChatGPT or Claude Better Than Playwright Codegen?
To your point, both things can be true. The CyberTruck can have recalls worse than 91% of all 2024 cars, but many of its recalls can be cheap to for Tesla to fix.

I think that is where the two clusters of people that I see commenting here are converging / possibly arguing past each other.

One popular form of headline that comes to my mind from business new channels of which I remember no specific instance basically goes like this: “Car manufacturer recalls X many cars costing over them Y dollars because of some fault”. X is usually in the tens of thousands or more and Y is usually in the millions of dollars (now maybe tens of millions of dollars).
Two contradictory statements do not read like a 'cacophony' of anything to me xD I think you need a whole lot more than two to do that word justice.
Messing with machines have a way lower ethical threshold for most people.

Tangentially, I know someone who used to sell textile machinery to new factories in the southern states, which left the old northern factories vacant, which yielded cheap space near Boston in which to expand for a fresh startup called DEC.
I'd be interested in a link about this (can't find one from a quick look), but guessing it's to do with avoiding clashes with names in existing tools/code and backwards compatibility in browsers. In Sass, you would just write $primary-color, but if they copied that syntax exactly, it's likely going to get confusing for Sass tools if it's a Sass variable or a CSS variable.
Sure it's wrong, but it's actually to Tesla's benefit IMO

Which of these would you, a Tesla stakeholder, prefer the news to report:

- Tesla Cybertruck has recall

- Tesla Cybertruck receives software update that resolves issue that put public safety at risk
Naturally, as every other carrier elsewhere in the world save for Falcon.
Probably something up to 50$. Redis lab is not that big as a company so they might not be able to hire top notch lawyers.

But regarding the history of free software that is made of individuals fighting the overreach of predatory corporations, I will be very saddened if everyone of all these projects would give up...

Maybe the fsf or software conservancy can assist some of the projects if they were to ask it?
But I do care!

I care about EVs and climate change and emission reduction and all that.

What I don't care about is the Electric vehicle news feed being polluted with irrelevant nonsense when there are far more important news to be shared.

I don't care about the Cybertruck's oddities... because those oddities are common to other american EV trucks and therefore bring nothing new to the table.
You can’t outsource something for decades then think throwing money at something will be enough to pick it up yourself on a tight timeline.

The Zortech C/C++ compiler had another memory model: handle pointers. When dereferencing a handle pointer, the compiler emitted code that would swap in the necessary page from expanded memory, extended memory, or disk.

It works like a virtual memory system, except that the compiler emitted the necessary code rather than the CPU doing it in microcode.

https://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/handle-pointers.html

Similarly, Zortech C++ had the "VCM" memory model, which worked like virtual memory. Your code pages would be swapped in an out of memory as needed.

The Conda package manager is available to users of the Anaconda/Miniconda distribution, which is very popular. Conda uses a sat solver for dependency resolution. It's a lot slower than pip, but it's not a thing that has to happen often enough for that to be a problem.

It's a good thing, however, that using conda doesn't preclude one from also using pip.
Nope, still using C++17 and not bothered by any slowdown.
C++ has been moving too fast lately.
I think it is a pity Intel went with 16 byte paragraphs instead of 256 byte paragraphs for the 8086.

With 16 byte paragraphs, a 16 bit segment and 16 bit offset can only address 1MiB (ignoring the HMA you can get on 80286+).

With 256 byte paragraphs, the 8086 would have been able to address 16MiB in real mode (again not counting the HMA, which would have been a bit smaller: 65,280 bytes instead of 65,520 bytes).
Leaving aside other health concerns grey hair can be attractive on all genders and should be respected and celebrated.
This. The system works just as intended. If the state is throwing free money around why wouldn't you pick it up and pocket it? Your job isn't to create jobs or return on investment, it's to funnel that free state money in the pockets of shareholders.

From the article:

> If not for a delay in a connecting flight, the incendiary bomb would likely have burst into flames in the belly of a plane flying high above the European Union. Instead, it ignited on the ground in Germany’s Leipzig airport, setting fire to a DHL air freight container.

Yesterday, a DHL cargo flight from Leipzig crashed on approach to Vilnius. One crew member died, three other were hospitalized. The plane narrowly missed 12 people who were in the building it hit. Reason for the crash is currently unknown, the possibility of intentional sabotage has made political circles anxious. https://avherald.com/h?article=520c0e2b&opt=0
Freedom of speech means you are allowed to say whatever you like. You are allowed to write it down. You are allowed to make copies of it and distribute it.

It does NOT mean that others are COMPELLED to carry or distribute your message.

I recognize this can create uncomfortable situations, such as when a corporation that controls the stack of modern communication decides your speech is forbidden. That is, I think, a very related but separate issue. At the end of the day, you can stand on a box on the corner of your street and yell.
Yeah, software recalls are recalls. The car has steer by wire, so even steering wheel issues could be ”just” a software recall.

The difference is that Airbus didn't as much build new factories (and certainly not several at the same time) as it is a consortium (and later a unified company) of formerly independent European aerospace companies. E. g. their current German plants, Hamburg (commercial aircraft) and Donauwörth (helicopters) used to belong to MBB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt-B%C3%B6lkow-Bloh...) and then DASA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DASA). That's a consolidation similar to what happened in the US, albeit maybe with more "state interference".
Maybe the focus is cheaper junior devs?
Would be interesting to understand how they've implemented it and they whether there is any perf impact on other API calls.
That is sort of like inlining the demand paging code from the OS. When we have exokernels, they exist as a library so can be delt with like regular code

If a cloud platform doesn't really provide reliability, I'd say it's probably not worth it. You could better just rent a (virtual) server and save the cloud tax.
The word bug sort of implies that the device was struck by a terrestrial arthropod animal. Calling a software defect that happens due to a programming error a "bug" definitely is worthy of quotes.

At the very least, it puts the quality control of Tesla in question, as those are failures which should have been caught PRIOR to a commercial launch.

Tesla is treating its product-launches like it's just some browser-game in the cloud, instead of treating it as what it is: The handover of a 6000 pound bullet into the hand of a customer who will fire it into a crowd in expectation to not hit anyone...

Probably quite expensive over the whole catalog but the Berkley content would be cheap to do.

If it's, say, 5000 hours then through the best model at assembly.ai with no discounts it's cost less than $2000. I know someone could do whisper for cheaper, and there likely would be discounts at this rate but worst case it seems very doable even for an individual.
I really wanted to like go, and I tried to write a discord bot using it, but the very opinionated brace style (which isn't the one I prefer to use), and the fact that I struggled to much to try and split my code across two files kinda turned me off it. In the end I just went back to python
This article makes a lot of great points about the shortcomings of Go. I don’t think explicit error handling is one of them however. I’ve previously spoken about my loathing of exception handling because it adds a “magic” layer to things which is way too easy to mess up. From a technical standpoint that isn’t necessarily a good argument, but from a pragmatic standpoint and decades of experience… well I will take explicit error handling which happens exactly where the errors occur every day. You can argue that Rust does it in a more elegant way, and I prefer it for personal projects. For big projects with a lot of developers of various skill level joining and leaving I think Go’s philosophy is one of the sanest approaches to error handling in the modern world.

Staying in that lane. In my part of the world Go is seeing adoption that no other “new” language has exactly because of its simplicity. It’s not the best language, but it’s often the best general purpose language because it has a lot of build in opinions which protect you from yourself.

Europe is entering a crisis of unprecedented proportions. This isn't just an isolated incident, one bad company, this is a trend. It used to be that subsidies managed to balance out the over-regulation, high labor costs and powerful pressure groups Europe was known for. Now it's no longer the case.

There used to be a technological edge European countries (especially in the west) could rely on, which made them more suitable for some business. But now it's gone, almost everywhere. Exception is couple of important, but niche industries, which are seen as being of strategic interest (Airbus, ASML, Arianne). But they too feel the pinch now, as the supply chains get more fragile, new talent leaves, or doesn't even show up, and foreign powers prop up their own alternatives.

Add incapable, or shortsighted, political leadership, aging population, hostile, or at least unfriendly, neighbors and rising political extremism, and you get a particularly deadly mix.

Unfortunately, the top institutions have shown almost zero acceptance of the fact.
In that sort of situation the only "hope" is that the collapse will be relatively quick, allowing for some rebuilding to start before the next decade ends. If we are lucky.
