If Tesla were to artificially set up limitations like highway only, daytime, clearly visible lanes, good weather, car in front, no construction zones, no lane changes, etc, then they would easily have been able to offer full L3 and take full liability for it. Tesla FSD is practically perfected, with no accidents whatsoever, under such conditions already. But Elon wouldn't want to release this kind of gimped system as he is aiming for full self driving everywhere.
The London Underground is too hot, but it's not an easy fix
Tesla FSD version 13 (new version) videos are starting to trickle out on YouTube and while they could be edited, it does seem to handle some crazy stuff fairly well.
I tried both extensively (have the full FSD package on my Model 3). FSD still feels suicidal in a good day, plain incapable on average.

I can’t imagine how someone would compare it to a multi-sensor setup - a single camera can’t match the level of prescience a Waymo or Cruise have. But also as the overall experience is just absurdly different. Waymo was the first tech thing I felt was truly magical in _decades_.

Meanwhile the best I can get out of Tesla FSD is straight highways. And even there, there’s random glitches (the forever annoying ghost braking being the one that makes me feel particularly unsafe with it)
For certain applications and bugs it may be helpful to see a version of the application with the bug running side by side with a version without the bug. By "both versions" I meant the versions checked out in both workspaces. See: https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/latest/working-copy/#workspa...
get drunk, pass out in a Tesla and have it take you home. come back here when this happens (ballparking 2089…).
Careful how much you say that. I'm sure there's more than a few AI engineers willing to use some 3d graphics program to add a hundred thousand views of the inside of randomly generated shapes to the training set.
You're not the guy in this article, are you?

Nearly everything there is in a book somewhere but verified with experience.

This bit was from Harvard Business Review. I believe it inspired the Business Model Canvas. I first got it from an entrepreneurship course in ~2014. I believe the source may be early 00s if not 90s. It's hard to find sources from that far back, do share if you can find the article.

Lean Canvas is more popular these days, but if you know how business models 'click', you can use the BMC more effectively. Massage them into these forms. It's less useful for startups finding a business model, more for startups making the transition to scale ups.
I'm the senior manager, I have about 5 managers under me so I don't have 60 reportees.
Yea generally it's a slew of other laws that mandate the opening up of vehicles to aftermarket components that makes it viable, not necessarily dealers who just installed overpriced OEM parts.
>A very weird and pleasant experience, that alas can't be sustained forever given how delicious carbs are.

why not? it's just a matter of having access to decent meat/fish, discipline, and ignoring peer pressure at social gatherings.

for me, it takes at least two weeks to recover from SAD-like diet and go back to the kind of state you're describing - high energy, mental clarity, complete absence of hunger, etc. the first week is particularly unpleasant - low energy and constant carb cravings, etc.
..physical laws that are, in principle, fully modeled by mathematical theory that can be simulated on a computer.

Consciousness so far appears to be something that can’t be modeled mathematically. Can a Turing Machine conclude that while it can’t prove the consistency of the axiomatic system it works under if one embeds that system in a larger system then it could be possible to prove consistency?

Aren’t you assuming super determinism? What if consciousness is not “computable” in any meaningful way? For example suppose the theoretically most efficient mathematical model of consciousness requires more variables than the number of particles in the observable universe.
I agree this is an excellent book on the subject of nuclear weapons, also very well written and researched.
I’m not going to deny that a rich person being the victim plays a part here, but also very high profile crimes that are embarrassing to law enforcement get resources.

In particular, I’m thinking (for comparison) of the escape from Clinton Correctional in upstate NY. $23 million spent to recover 2 prisoners and the governor flew in to do a press conference. It wasn’t really rich people that were victims there.
The case against Google's claims of "quantum supremacy"
I remember science news articles about cooling rather than warming. Newsweek had to retract at least one of theirs: https://www.newsweek.com/newsweek-rewind-debunking-global-co...
The article says Muonionalusta. I’m
no meteorologist though. Maybe that isnt the name of the meteorite.
See, I read that and immediately was reminded that I don't exactly love the OSI being the one true definer of Open Source... but somehow the only people who ever argue that immediately try to use it as an excuse to pretend their stuff is open for marketing reasons while avoiding actually giving users the same rights. Besides, it's not that "openness and licensing are only what the OSI tells us they are"; it's that the OSI and FSF and DFSG all agree.
My sister went to a charter school until around 5th grade until IIRC she became too stressed out with the work load. I remember my mom telling me that when they switched to normal public school, it was essentially like moving 2-3 years back (which is pretty bad when you're only in elementary school), and she pretty much phoned it in from then on.

My experience with public k-12 was that AP chemistry was the only time I remember actually having to put in any effort at all, and I took almost all of the honors/AP classes I could.

So maybe some charters are a scam. Others are vastly more rigorous than their neighboring public schools. Some public schools offer essentially no education (are the public schools in those same poor neighborhoods any good?). Again, it's not obvious that giving parents some choice means outcomes must be worse. You could still hold charters to the same low bar public schools are held to for standardized tests.

Charters also select for more involved parents by nature of not being the default, so you would a priori expect them to outperform just from that.
I have 5 manager under me, so the 60 are not direct reportees. I do interact directly with most of the devs, but the other managers do a good deal of the lifting too.
> The whole point of the regulation is to assure that there is someone nearby for the owner to get a vehicle repaired and be able to buy parts.

> ahem Guess what Tesla has a ton of problems with?

If the goal is to allow people to have vehicles repaired, then mandate right-to-repair laws, mandate that all auto manufacturers must fully document how to service the vehicle.

The problem with Tesla isn't the lack of dealerships, it's that even if you go to a normal auto repair store, Tesla won't sell repair parts nor provide detailed enough repair manuals. Tesla will void your warranty for having someone else fix it.

If the regulation is meant to allow consumers to repair their vehicles, then it should say that.
The Tesla cameras have surprisingly good dynamic range and can see stuff incredibly well even when human eyes struggle.
So just use AGPL. It covers hosting, it requires providing modifications, it's actually Open Source without caveats.
I got all my friends to go on it and spent lots of time ranking people myself.

I also started things off with "fake" tests so that people had other people to rank at the beginning, otherwise folks would just see a dead app and drop off.

It was a really big moment 9 months in when someone's test completed entirely without me ranking. It was a lot of work & I'm really glad to be at a point now where I get to watch people rank each other without me.
..the exact same way every other traffic rule is enforced? How do you stop cars from driving on the wrong side of the road or running a red light?
This will never be relevant for solving travelling salesmen problems.

More relevantly, that line of experimentation is specifically to refute the notion that something unexpected will happen with the physics to break the computational scaling.

Nobody with any credibility is claiming that the current experiments are useful for anything practical.
Apparently they're using this CMOS sensor: https://www.onsemi.com/products/sensors/image-sensors/ar0136...

It's not an event camera, so it's very much taking images, which are then being processed by computer vision algorithms.

Event cameras seem more viable than CMOS sensors for autonomous vehicle applications in the absence of LIDAR. CMOS dynamic range and response isn't as good as the human eye. LIDAR+CMOS is considerably better in many ways.
Ford did the same thing a few years ago when they shut down Argo and brought it in house as Latitude to work on ADAS tech instead of actual self-driving cars. Does anyone know if Latitude has shipped anything?
> It seems like drivers did not find the feature compelling and were not renewing.

IMO, it's largely because BlueCruise (and all of the similar services) is not sufficiently better than the non-subscription driver assists.

I have the option of BlueCruise on my vehicle and it's just not a compelling offer.

* It only works on major highways. Beyond actual coverage, major highways are places where the standard driver assists already work extremely well.

* It does nothing about traffic around you. You have to be prepared to react. Not much different than driver assist.

* It's wickedly expensive.

Right now, radar assisted cruise and camera based lane centering eases 95% of my driving fatigue.
Do you guys support handling 2FA workflows/scenarios?
Yeah, I should have made that more clear. You are 100% correct, I manage 5 other managers and they have about 10 devs each under them. I do work directly with virtually all of the devs and handle the majority of PRs so we are all one big team.
There are (crappy, dangerous-seeming) genuine full autonomous-assuming-you-don't-count-remote-safety-drivers Waymos on the street where I live, in volume, for a while now.

Tesla's equivalent system appears to be 100% vaporware. I don't understand the case for them not being far behind.
This assumes the problem is a binary. Either we are fucked or not fucked. When in fact it's a gradient of more and more fucked that goes on indefinitely making us more fucked the longer we take to deal with it.
I missed that. Muonionalusta is definitely a meteorite.

It's maybe $2-3/gram.
cause you were reading an article about him?
Or the voters.
I don’t see how that analogy makes any sense. We’re not talking about containers of a known and fixed size here, nor a single technique, nor a single method. Stuff like LLMs using Transformer architectures might have reached a plateau, for instance. But there’s tons of techniques _around_ those models that keep making them more capable (o1, etc), and also other architectures.
More like $400 a month the past couple months. Maybe that counts.

I started this chess variant AI sandbox 5 years ago for myself to help with a brutal commute. Still working on it now and then. I've learned so much building and releasing a commercial product with a community, on Google Play and Steam. It's great to see the flexibility of the "good enough" AI I made has still held up after 5 years.
This is just obfuscation. The population clusters will still exist even if we don't use the word "race" to describe them, and they can be described in biological terms that will overwhelmingly overlap with the sociocultural construct.
Those things are easy to detect. It's much less easy to prevent a simple lane change. Some cities have "bus only" lanes, which cars use anyway, but it's easy to detect them since they don't look like busses. How are you going to detect that my car isn't autonomous?
Even better: www.weather.gov/{zip_code}
Incredible that you managed to achieve such a short start time for chrome. Although for only scraping data I think something like scrapingbee or crawlbase gets the job done better, faster and cheaper. But I will consider your solution for browser automation
Same. I'm confused by this. Maybe they are changing (decreasing?) what's included in the free tier and rebranding. Will look into it.
I was like that for several decades but after I retired I got better.

I'm fairly certain that, at least in my case, it was a form of hypervigilance and based in anxiety. I'm less anxious these days and hope to live longer as a result.

Although I do still have a better-than-average ability to know when to check what's in the oven for doneness. This "feels" much different, though - I'm completely unaware of the passage of time until something just says to me "that stuff should be about done now."
How can you get it?
it's not consistent on a monthly basis but so far i have made $10k from my open source side project and I wrote about that in detail:

MariaDB is one of the biggest ironies to me: it was started because people claimed Oracle was going to do Oracle things with it, and somehow make it not open any more.

What actually happened is:

- Oracle has just made MySQL better, and continues to release new tooling (e.g. mysql router) for it under the same license (gpl2).

- MariaDB releases the bare minimum database engine under the GPL, and uses closed licenses for the tooling which is, to quote them: "an essential element to any production database environment".

I, too, would like to offer here my unconditional surrender of my SEV enclaves to the Montenegro immigration service.
This is where the Goverment should practice what it teaches. I understand that this data is interesting but it is utterly useless. Useless because race isn't as important as the geographical location and economic situation. Race is what you can use once you've narrowed down the demographics to the specific location and socio-economical impact, but it provides little substance without more contextual data.

If a poor neighborhood in a major city is failing math it is the a combination of the neighborhood being poor as opposed to race.

Race is never a good demographic period.
> Yep. It is still a bit ironic that the community rallied behind Big Tech instead of a small startup though. Just saying.

The community rallied behind the project that ensures the software they care about remains free and open and available to all without the risk of being blind-sided.
The irony of a country split in half. Communism and Capitalism. Both end up dystopians.
Yes there's a lot of hormonal / circadian rhythm effects at play in the evening and early morning. Additionally, you fast while you sleep, so extending that period before and after (not eating late, plus skipping breakfast) helps; 14 hours is a solid fasting amount if you keep it up every day.
... thank you. I didn't know those were floating around. I'd heard of them before, just hadn't had a chance to see them.
Waymo doesn't have remote divers of any sort.
Sometimes we find it hard to see the things that are closer to home, and presume that these phenomena are do do with other peoples and cultures.

But consider in English we currently do this blue and light blue. Where say Spanish calls them different colours - blue and celeste, and they are linguistically seen as different named colours.

Interestingly we don't do this with red, there's no red and light red, but red and pink.
Exogenous ketone supplementation? Are you drinking acetone or something?
I almost agree. I'd say people want the most convenient thing. We can see people do not want to drive by the fact people who owns cars take public transit, or take the high speed train when driving is an option.
That means you live in 1 of like 6 cities in the world. Kind of hard to compare Waymo's approach and Tesla's approach and accurately judge how far ahead Waymo is. Come to my city and you will see exactly 0 Waymo's. And it isn't clear to me if it's much easier for Waymo to scale from 6 cities to tens of thousands of cities or for Tesla to scale from tens of thousands of cities to tens of thousands of cities but better.

My gut tells me Waymo is ahead, probably by a good amount. But calling Telsa FSD "vaporware" is absurd, and leads me to the same conclusion that GP already called out.
> I have not implemented this (yet).

> But every year around the holidays a bunch of folks request this. I tell them to buy the course, and then email me who they'd like to gift it to.

You could add an MVP by having a "Gift a subscription" link that leads to a page saying "buy a subscription and then click this link to email me who you want to gift it to". That at least means you don't have to keep answering the question for people.

"If the length of the first gap is bigger than the length of the second, you emit a 1. Otherwise, you emit a 0."

Doesn't radioactive decay slow over time? That would mean, in the (possibly very) long run, 0 would be slightly more likely than 1.
making public transit convenient is easy: congestion price the cars the fuck outta downtown. Bingo, public transit just got more convenient!
Totally. Doing sprints on a rower after cutting carbs is a great way to plunge into ketosis -- or anything strenuous for long enough time. Have felt the shift while pushing a lawn mower for a while.

I run CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com) which is a better code review interface for teams that work on GitHub. Know when it's your turn to review, what discussions/files need your attention, and do it all in a lightning-fast single-page interface with keyboard shortcuts. The UX and workflows are inspired by the excellent tool Critique which Googlers/Xooglers know and love.

Doesn't make enough money to be my full-time job, but enough to keep me interested over the past 3+ years.

Why Am I Paying a Premium Price for a Google Pixel Phone Filled with Ads?
I really don’t understand what I’m paying the premium price for with my Google Pixel. The constant ads, especially in apps like YouTube, are incredibly frustrating. I expected a smooth, ad-free experience, but instead, I’m bombarded with ads at every turn. The same or even better hardware is available at a much lower price, without these interruptions. So, what exactly am I paying extra for? Better performance? It doesn’t seem like it when my phone experience is constantly disrupted by ads.
It’s sad news for the nation but if you’re good at math your stock just went up.
And pretty much every one of those countries also has widely used private insurance because the public one most definitely has price caps, longer waits, and lesser service.

No system could afford to spend unlimited amounts for anyone wanting it. You get triaged since resources are not infinite.

Pick your favorite system, say the UK, and google UK healthcare rationing to find state policy on what limits people face.
> every student that leaves the public school and takes their little chunk of funding with them

Is this a state thing? In California, I don't get to stop paying taxes if my children go to a charter school. Or, am I just not understanding the point you're making re: "funding?" Are charter schools not also public where you live?
I cease to understand how the average HN commentator doesn’t see Tesla as the leader in this space, and my only guess is all the FUD media around them.
If you have a Tesla, you know that it’s far and above the best driver-assist software in the entire market, and next place isn’t even close.
Sure FSD isn’t Waymo, but it’s entirely different tech and it can drive infinitely more places than the two cities Waymo supports.
For completeness, my statement above that

> 700k was much worse than an average season

is incorrect, since it falsely implies the 700k was just from one season. The 1977-78 season did show excess mortality in some estimates, though it's not clear whether that was from the H1N1 or the co-circulating H3N2 (which was probably a minority of the infections, but a majority of the infections in older people at highest risk of death, due to their prior immunity from 1957 and earlier). Mortality in the <19 age group reached its all-time high, around 2.4x average; that's a tiny share of the total (just 234 deaths), but perhaps an interesting gauge of the H1N1 spread.

Unless I'm missing something, I do believe the 700k has travelled remarkably far with remarkably weak provenance, and I appreciate the push to investigate that. Perhaps there's just no one with any incentive to correct it--for authors opposing high-risk virological research it's impressively large enough, while authors supporting such research don't wish to draw attention to this mortality at all. I don't think the exact number changes much practically, but I'd still rather not perpetuate that carelessness.
You've yet to provide any rational argument that makes this case, though? You just keep repeating it as fact, when it's not clear that it is fact.
In the apps I've written, generally the user interaction with the API is synchronous and has some immediate effect (e.g. uploading a file - the file is committed and guaranteed accessible by the time the HTTP success response is sent, giving the system strong causal consistency) and within that same transaction I enqueue the related background task (e.g. processing the file) so that we never get an uploaded file with no associated background task (or vice-versa).

(The background task may involve its own transactions when dequeued later, and spawn further background tasks, etc)
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but China make high tech products all the time. ok not semiconductors, but cars, trains, clothings, medicines etc... even social media. maybe they steal some of it, but everything?
Linked post is from Dec 1st. There is much more recent news. A Congressional Hearing was held today in which NJ Congressman Smith provided some rather incredible information:

- A fleet of 50 drones were detected by authorities on Dec 8th flying from the ocean into NJ skies.

- The Coast Guard reported one of its 47 foot Cruisers based in NJ was followed by 12-30 drones.
