That is a fundamental misunderstanding of the reliability level needed for fully autonomous vehicle operation. A fully self driving vehicle operating outside of a testing safety protocol in use by consumers requires a average disengagement rate not on the order of 1-2 hours, but 1,000-2,000 hours to be considered in the vicinity of fully self driving. You are literally presenting anecdotes that are inadequate by a factor of 1,000x to provide evidence "it's arrived".

Individual driver experience is basically useless for assessing if it has "arrived" due to the fundamental lack of data any one human can generate, however individual driver experience is adequate for assessing if it has not "arrived".

To explain, suppose a manufacturer claims that their widget fails 1 in 1,000,000 times. Suppose a regular human can use 1,000 units. Even if a regular human finds zero failures in their 1,000 unit random sample that does not provide evidence that the manufacturer's claim is true. You need over 1,000,000 samples, usually on the order of 10,000,000 samples, and observe a number of failures comparable to the claimed rate to make any such claim in a statistically rigorous fashion.

In contrast, if 100,000 samples are collected and 10 failures are observed, a rate of 1 in 10,000 which is already a expected failure rate 10x more than the amount any individual person would use, then you can assert with high confidence that the manufacturer's claim is a lie even though you have not even observed 1,000,000 samples as would be required to prove the manufacturer's claim is true. If a regular human discovers more than 1 failure in their 1,000 units, a observed failure rate of over 1 in 1,000 then you can assert with extreme confidence that the manufacturer is lying. The bar for adequate data to establish statistical significance is the number of failures, not the number of units.

Individual drives are over a factor of 1,000x from establishing the requisite reliability level and thus have 0.1% of the adequate evidentiary power to establish success, but can be used to establish failure. Even a literal lifetime of human experience with zero faults is barely adequate to establish success, with even a handful of failures over a literal human lifetime being sufficient to reject the claim of a reliability level adequate for fully self driving operation outside of a testing protocol in the hands of consumers.

This is basic statistics and it is literally impossible that the people at Tesla do not know the level of evidence needed to support their claims is over a factor of 1,000x more than their auditable presented evidence. They just choose to deceive their customers to support their stock price and then blast soundbite arguments that sound good, but are intentionally deceptive, to overwhelm the discourse.
It’s hit or miss. Most of the blog posts I write get little to no attention.

But a couple I wrote got picked up by a bunch of media publications, and resulted in a few job/contracting offers (none of which I accepted but they were still offers).

So it’s a lottery, IMO. But when one breaks through, it could be potentially worth it
Reagan apparently hated reading and would often skip written briefs given to him by, for instance, the CIA. Then somebody got the idea to put those briefs in the form of a television news style video made just for Reagan. Some of them are on youtube now. They have the tone of spoonfeeding a midwit.
KDE and Gnome also implement tons of API on top of Linux ecosystem. Android is Linux system, because it based on Linux.
Please give LiteGUI a try (https://github.com/SiteGUI-platform/litegui), like Wordpress it was built for freelancers/agencies to create more plugins/apps/themes easily.
$1337 is a very curious amount. Surely, someone was being clever???
1.) My suggestion was that we do not know how he looks like. There is nothing certain about the claim that his look is bad.

2.) My issue with writeup is not being upset with rejection. It is going off own wild imagination over what other people think. It is making internally inconsistent claims, projecting a lot, it is making conclusions unsupported by data.

I do not know how the guy looks like, but reading him writing about relationships makes me nope out fast.

3.) He looks for one night stands, because his only gauge of what he looks in women are ... looks. That works only for one night stands and nothing else. If you want anything else, you need to be compatible in more areas. If your evaluation of dating situation starts and ends with leagues, you are going for one night stands, whether consciously or not.

4.) The claim that women are bad at rating men is unsupported. All we see is that they do not end up with gaussian curve, so what? I honestly did not seen women running around complaining about lack of good looking men around.

> Visually uneven couples piss off even attractive people who have no dating problems. [...] I know it was because he thought he looked better than me, and he did actually.

How do you know what he thought? How do you know he has no dating problems? I would claim that visually uneven couples piss off selected minority of the people who just cant accept that other people are not like them.

> So they say some stuff like "Just be funny" or "Just shower bro" lol.

If people tell someone just shower, it is either insult or strong hit they should shower more regardless of which gender is around.

> Nobody wants to tell you that you're just too short for 95% of women.

Like, disability level short? Cause I can tell you, smaller guys around me have partners. Whatever statistical disadvantage there is, it is at worst similar to disadvantage of women with small breasts. Yes, men prefer large breasts and that does not mean women with small breasts are unable to find partners everything else being equal.
Same, and now I've spent the last two weeks trying to convince YouTube that I don't need several different videos of Christmas music playing over a fireplace.

Feels a whole lot like the dumb emails I get from places like Home Depot, where because I bought a table saw they feel I should know about all these other table saws they have.
This is more of a fundamental issue with the way we rely on DNS to secure *gestures wildly* all the things. The fact that domains can expire and be registered by someone new allows the new owner to do almost anything the old owner could have done when it comes to anything trusting email addresses, or anything else relying on DNS (ACME certs) for authentication.

It's great for "do they own this right now" validation and that's what we use it for, but beyond that links will be saved, email addresses will be added to databases and address books alike, and that's more or less a reality of most systems. For example, my snail mail (and occasionally packages) is still mistakenly delivered to my former addresses from time to time just because it's hard to track who has that address, and update it everywhere. The same goes for internet infrastructure.
The creators publication frequency is also an important factor. If you don't put out content at least once per week you fall off the recommended and lose a lot of views. Once your content is shallow, simple and without reflection, you are trapped in a hamster wheel of click bait vapidness.
Those are sources, and while curiosity is great most kids are focused on specific things not everything. Kids need direction and somebody them to focus on things they dont want to learn- like a kid who loves animals isnt going to learn math or how to write well, and a kid whos interested in history might not care at all about science.

Parents are no better at this unless they are incredible focused on utilizing a curriculum and addressing their own issues along the way- And even then, learning with other kids is incredibly helpful. Talking to a computer is not a replacement for a teacher (yet).
It's really not that different.

I have some friends who live in area with the bad water quality... They end up drinking/cooking with store-bought water, instead of city-provided one from the tap.

When I need electrician/plumber/general contractor/etc..., I choose one based on recommendations and reviews.

If you know (say from conversations with other parents) that your local school is bad, why would you send your kids there? It is like choosing an electrician with bad reviews only because their office is next door to you, or living in bad-water area, drinking city water and getting sick every week.

Another way to say this: Bad drivers make YOUR insurance more expensive than it should be.

I think there are a few problems:

1. The opt in should have been much clearer, and probably should have been a real option not just all or nothing.

2. However, anyone who opts out will have more expensive insurance

3. Which means you have to share data that feels very personal, or be treated like a 2nd class citizen - which feels very icky.

4. Companies are sensitive to customers telling them they are icky, at least until customers get de-sensitized to the ickyness.
> but it is very obviously the case they are not.

It not obvious and also doesn't seem true at all. Still one may continue to investigate with this assumption but then result will neither be truth or much useful.
This seems logical to me, there have been times when I wanted to hop off a deep dive after watching enough and wanted to move to something else. But I was probably immune to suggestion before getting to that point.

That satisfaction threshold is probably understood for someone like me who doesn't browse anonymously
> someone who... has been spending time on the streets, is going to have a very hard time maintaining a bank account or obtaining a credit card without an income.

Slightly tangential to your main point, but in this day and age electronic transfers are money; cash is in effect just a fallback option for situations where there's no connection to the Internet. I believe that, in the absence of central bank digital currency, banks should be required to have a process for issuing current accounts to homeless people (albeit not necessarily with credit, just like customers who do have fixed homes). That measure alone would immediately fix a range of issues that homeless people face, wouldn't it?
Should make all those people complaining about the DEI change shut up, the timing of the announcement is so close it is hard not to think they're related.
>>When catastrophic fires occur, experts often blame the so-called wildland-urban interface, the vulnerable region on the perimeter of cities and suburbs where an abundance of vegetation in rugged terrain is susceptible to burning.

>>Yet the fire disasters that we’re seeing today are less wildland fires than urban fires, Cohen said. Shifting this understanding could lead to more effective prevention strategies.

>>“The assumption is continually made that it’s the big flames” that cause widespread community destruction, he said, “and yet the wildfire actually only initiates community ignitions largely with lofted burning embers.”

>>Experts attribute widespread devastation to wind-driven embers igniting spot fires two to three miles ahead of the established fire. Maps of the Eaton fire show seemingly random ignitions across Altadena.

>>“When you study the destruction in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, note what didn’t burn — unconsumed tree canopies adjacent to totally destroyed homes,” he said. “The sequence of destruction is commonly assumed to occur in some kind of organized spreading flame front — a tsunami of super-heated gases — but it doesn’t happen that way.

>>“In high-density development, scattered burning homes spread to their neighbors and so on. Ignitions downwind and across streets are typically from showers of burning embers from burning structures.”

>>This fundamental misunderstanding has likewise led to a misunderstanding of prevention. No longer is it a matter of preventing wildfires but instead preventing points of ignition within communities by employing “home-hardening” strategies — proper landscaping, fire-resistant siding — and enjoining neighbors in collective efforts such as brush clearing.

>>“If we think it’s wildfire, then we tend to maintain wildfire as the principal problem — with wildfire control as the solution,” Cohen said. “However, there is no evidence to suggest wildfire control is a reliable approach during the extreme wildfire conditions when community disasters occur.”
Luckily an AI can’t effectively replace almost any job.
Nah, 2 lanes are pretty manageable. Even for a pedestrian. You still only have traffic coming from one direction which makes it easy to see when you can cross.

From a car perspective, it's just a matter of getting in the right lane for the exit you want.
> and fully remove pedestrians and bikers from these roads until a city fund for building them a proper bike-only lane has fully matured.

And what do the pedestrians get?
I was thrown off by the use of the word, "wordcel," which the author defines as almost the opposite of what I would expect it to mean. Just like "incel" is a portmanteau, I expect "wordcel" to mean "word celibate." It didn't fit the context. The word is linked to a longer article that has the author's definition buried in it, which just distracted more from this article.
> Why should I care that Microsoft Office has more users than LibreOffice?

Because people are going to send you documents in Word format, and expect you to be able to send them documents in Word format. Including embedded objects, RTL text, animations, and many other features that LibreOffice barely support and do not transfer well between its own native format and the Word format.
I feel like this is the dot.com bubble all over, but instead it's AI and WFH.

Some kind of democratic process. Where membership and blacklist are both something arrived at democratically.

It could be simple.

Good?
And for most companies, building and managing an SCM is absolutely not their core competency. Your point is valid, but not in the way you're trying to convey it.
This is a sentiment I’ve had echoed across most of my techie friends. We probably relate more to what Musk says (and US politics towards the tech sector) than the average car buyer, and it is just a major turnoff.
Even then that's consensus on what the participants believe to be true (whether it's what they believed beforehand or not) - not a method of determining what is actually true.
I don't see any way for Tesla to survive as a company unless they can completely disconnect from Musk. In urban/leftist/yuppie circles- the only people that actually buy high end EVs new- it is socially taboo now to buy a Tesla, and the people already owning them are embarrassed, and hoping to get rid of them soon. The cybertruck is especially taboo and called names like the "incElCamino."

I think there is a big potential to capture the rural more right leaning market with EVs that have more range, offroad ability, and torque than ICE vehicles- but this will be done by brands like Jeep, Ford, and Scout through EVs with ICE range extenders that can operate outside of a charging network.
California law does not address accelerating on a yellow. The driver's handbook (which is not the law) says

> A yellow traffic signal light means CAUTION. The light is about to turn red. When you see a yellow traffic signal light, stop, if you can do so safely. If you cannot stop safely, cautiously cross the intersection.

The bright line rule is not to enter the intersection on a red light, defined as crossing the stop line if present, crossing the first line of a pedestrian crossing if present, or actually entering the intersection if there are no lines.
We have both. I agree the yellow flashing ones don't do shit. Even as a driver it can be hard to even see when those lights are flashing which makes them pointless.

The overhead red, though, works great.
Thanks op. This sums it up pretty well for me:

In what sense is any of this authentic?
That ad campaign was enabled by the 1st amendment but not motivated by it. You’re conflating why they wanted to do it with why they could do it
I highly recommend the museum of London. Probably days worth of stuff to see in there, and you can buy a ticket that allows return visits within a year. Best spot for garnets (for those with a permit, naturally) : Bankside Foreshore near the Tate Modern.

Because it's not catering, it's actively making it worse for the rest of us? Because not everything is about money? Because of ethics?

Why would I, as a doctor whose income stream is based on people getting sick, intentionally support policies that make people healthier
I used this same approach in a recent web app and it worked great. You can also use scrollbar-gutter: stable, which disables scrolling but maintains the preserved space to avoid content reflows.
Yes, there are roles where people do nothing but search their names/products/etc specifically to see what people are saying. Hell, some people do it on themselves to the point there are phrases like "vanity search" or "egosurfing"

>hiring organically just doesn't result in solid candidates.

If you get one bad hire, it's probably on them

If you get 20 bad hires, it's probably on the company. At some point, no matter the size, people really need to look at themselves and say if they are really trying to enhance their shop and let talent succeed, or if they are a churn shop and don't deserve solid candidates to begin with.

Two reasons:

1) "LLM DM" isn't merely mean substituting for human DM in a D&D session. The same capability can be used as a component in a video game, to breathe life into the game world, have it interactively react and evolve along with the player.

EDIT: Take a game like Rimworld, that relies on a scripted RNG dubbed a "storyteller", to decide what random events to hit you with and how hard. It's fun early on, but if you're into role-playing, you'll quickly realize there's no evolving story behind it, just stateless RNG. An LLM DM is exactly what could add that story, make overcoming challenges feel meaningful and allow for player decisions to actually impact the world deeply.

2) There are people like me, who would love to participate in an RPG session, but for various reasons never got invited to those when at school, and now, due to demands of parenthood, can't exactly make time to coordinate with the few people around who are still playing.

There are more, but those are the two that are apparent to me.
To be fair, RAID5/6 don't have parity disks either. RAID2, RAID3, and RAID4 do, but they're all effectively dead technology for good reason.

I think it's easy for a lot of people to conceptualize RAID5/6 and RAID-Zn as having "data disks" and "parity disks" to wrap around the complicated topic of how it works, but all of them truly interleave and compute parity data across all disks, allowing any single disk to die.

I've been of two minds on the persistent myth of "parity disks" but I usually ignore it, because it's a convenient lie to understand your data is safe, at least. It's also a little bit the same way that raidz1 and raidz2 are sometimes talked about as "RAID5" and "RAID6"; the effective benefits are the same, but the implementation is totally different.
Good timing with this submission as I started selling commercial use software licenses using a subscription model this year (Jan 2025) and I'm amazed that 6 people have already signed up and paid for a license.

The text-based tech internet has become incredibly hostile to people sharing their work over the past decade, so a few years ago I decided to try and engage people through YouTube instead and I think this has been a decision that has really paid off. For people interested in pursuing something like this I'd definitely recommend trying out video format communication over blog posts and articles if the latter aren't doing well for you.

I have done a lot of "building in public" on YouTube over the past few years and have built up a really solid product that people have been actively asking me to release a commercial license for so that they can use it at work. I feel pretty good about things right now!
i hate pedestrian scramble systems they make it so slow to walk anywhere
Not just this, but execs and employees like to keep websites live for a while while they job-hunt (otherwise their resume has dead links). And ideally keep their name@startup.com email working. But to keep those running requires a long tail of "live" DNS and finance stuff you can't quite close out.
In France, it is illegal to drive through a yellow light unless it would be dangerous to stop, for example if it required you to break hard. That part is up to the officer judgment.

In practice, I have never seen it applied, and it is only a small fine anyways, much less serious than running a red light. I guess it can be used as an excuse if the police really wants to pull you over.
RLS (row level security) came out in 9.5, January 2016. It's a game changer when used in combination with JWT tokens for identity and something like PostgREST. Specifically because a client can talk directly to PostgREST and run queries directly against the DB while letting the RLS policies dictate access. Example, a mobile client is allowed to insert data on the auth'd user's behalf, but the same user can only access rows that are associated with their own identity. Supabase rolls this up into an out of the box solution, which basically eliminates a lot of work writing "middleware APIs".
Is this really an issue? Back when I implemented Google OAuth I used the "sub" that Google gave me as well as the email. I'd wager that Google does not re-use a sub for the same E-Mail so if the account is deleted and then somebody grabs the domain and re-created the account they'd have the same E-Mail but a different sub which would make the login fail. Seems to not be an issue in Google's OAuth Flow but rather the implementation on services like ChatGPT and so on?!

EDIT: Just read that they claim that “The sub claim changes in about 0.04% of logins from Log in with Google” - never had this happen in the past years but if this is true then I guess thats a bad thing.
“Anti wokeism” is to atheism what wokeism is to Christianity. It can turn into a religion in its own right sure but it’s origin is disbelief in another ideology.
Anecdata, but I agree. I went from a recursive CTE (that occasionally would take 1GB+ of memory for zero rows) to a loop and used AI to do it, and it did a pretty good job
Once insurance companies can charge perfect premiums, there will be no point in buying insurance at all.
Yeah, people are spending more guardedly (and have been since Ukraine started)
Performance reviews aren't bullshit - it's crucial to have an objective (as objective as possible) system for measuring performance both to reward your high performers and to understand your low performers whether to provide support or to document reasons for firing them.

Several kinds of performance management system such as mandatory percentages for each rating level ARE bullshit, but without performance management of some sort any organization with more than 3 people will fail.
If you zoom in on the memo, you can see a tiny little line of text that says "wasting $45 billion dollars on a VR boondoggle doesn't count as low performing"
> You have the right of way!

Which, while true, in no way guarantees the driver sees you. If they miss seeing you for some reason, you very well may end up on the losing end of the physics of a collision between a 150lb object and a 3000lb object.
