You've a very narrow definition of novel, which is based soley on incidental features of the environment.

For animals, a novel situation is one in which their learnt skills to adapt to the environment fail, and have to acquire new skills. In this sense, drivers are rarely in novel environments.

For statistical systems, novelty can be much more narrowly defined as simply the case where sensory data fails a similar-distribution test with historical data --- this is vastly more common, since the "statistical profile of historical cases, as measured, in data" is narrow.. whilst the "situations skills apply to" is wide.

An example definition of narrow/wide, here: the amount of situations needed to acquire safety in the class of similar environments is exponential for narrow systems, and sublinear for wide ones. ie., A person can adapt a skill in a single scenario, whereas a statistical system will require exponentially more data in the measures of that class of novel scenarios.
Except that this is California, where real estate prices are crazy. And not just recently, prices have continually been getting less and less affordable for 40 years.

There could be macroeconomic forces that affect that estimate, but in Berkeley in the historical context of home prices it makes perfect sense.
Just use TypeScript frontend and backend. For backend, use Node+Express+TypeScript. If doing anything in ML, create a service in Python, but keep application code in TypeScript.

If you are doing full stack development, this works much better. The npm ecosystem is amazing. You can create common libs, share types, don't have to context switch and all future developers can do some full stack.

This is the boring stuff, but works and scales.
>BleepingComputer has confirmed with multiple companies that associated data samples shared by the threat actor are valid.

Oracle probably should have just admitted the validity up front.

It's not like there are any real penalties to a breach. Lying about it is probably a worse PR hit than the breach itself.

> You need to allow what you want to grow in the ecosystem if you want them present. If I wanted to develop the next generation of developers, then I'd be giving that CRUD stuff I've done many times to a junior developer instead.

Indeed, one of my fears is that people won't develop those skills to begin with. In my team, the few senior people can pretty much be trusted with using LLMs and still producing quality code. But we decided against evangelizing it to the junior folks. They still have access via Copilot, but we won't gently suggest they try it out.
I have a habit of drinking Fiji water. It's a terrible habit but it tastes great. The bottle I have in my recycling bin has another year and a half on its best by date. Microplastics might be a concern, but I'd be surprised if it's not safe to drink for many years after the best by date.

This is false, we've sold data with PII to no one. Or it is misleading: the page you linked to even says, "It is selling de-identified, aggregate data for research, if you give them consent."
A few years ago I ran through all the realistic emergency scenarios I could think of, living in a large city and driving in a car, and except for "being attacked with a gun" the emergency tool that seemed to be useful in basically every other scenario from a building on fire to stuck in an elevator to being in or coming across a car accident was a tomahawk or an axe with a spike/pick on the other end. They also tend to be cheaper than large axes and so it's easy to toss in the car or leave near the door, etc. It may not be the single best tool for some situations, but it seemed like the best all-around tool for almost every situation.

Not OP, but for a lot of things, I actually get two or three months worth of meat (typically chicken) that is frozen (from a super-mega-super store called Costco), and I keep it in the freezer. Not uncommon for people to even have a chest freezer, or second refrigerator in their garages, if they live in the suburbs.

Bread keeps for a week, no problem, and when it's older than that and has started to go stale, it gets toasted for sandwiches.

But I typically go to grocery store weekly, because we eat a lot of produce in our house, and though I have some techniques to keep lettuce good for 1 to 2 weeks, some stuff spoils quickly.

Our eggs are refrigerated, they can keep for awhile in the fridge.
Go where mate, to Sam Altman's retirement home for UBI recipients ? I studied neural networks while you were still a "concept of a plan" in the mind of your parents and unlike you, I know how they work. As one of the early and paying adopters of the technology, it would have been great if they worked as advertised. But they don't, and the only people "to go" will be idiots who think that a technology that 1) anyone can use 2) produces un-reliable outputs.. 3)..while sounding authoritative makes them an expert. Guess what, if both you and your buddy and your entire school can spin up a website with a few prompts, how much is your "skill" worth on the market? Ever heard of demand and offering? To me looks eerily similar to how the smartphones and social networks made everyone "technologists" ;)
In my tests no, that's still not possible with the model unfortunately, but it feels like you have way more control with prompting over any previous model (stable diffusion/midjourney).
Right now, they are pricing them similarly to Uber and Lyft, though they do seem to offer more frequent discounts and there is no tipping yet. The experience is better too, IMO.
purely anecdotal: one thing I’ve noticed is that Waymo’s ALWAYS use their turn signal. that’s already gotta put them above a large portion of human drivers in terms of safety ;)

It is very much the latter. It is like the statistics of average alcohol consumption: half the people consume none, and that one guy drinks non-stop. In fact, the drinking guy and the crashing guy might be the same guy.
> No, they did it because they're used to Google. It's that simple. It's not even about whether google is truly the best or not.

Except it's not. Remember how everyone switched to Altavista in 1996 because it was so much better? Remember how Yahoo took over in 1999 because it was so much better? Remember how people switched to Google in 2003 because it was so much better?

History shows people actually do switch search engines when there's a better one. And they do so quickly. I mean, look at how quickly people adopted ChatGPT for some of the things they used to do with Google!

They're not switching away from Google now for regular serach simply because there isn't a better one for most people.

You have zero evidence for claiming it's because they're "used to Google". People didn't stay with Altavista or Yahoo because they were "used to them". So why would that be any different for Google? The answer it that it's not.
> But assuming actual cost benefits are delivered to customers this might be pretty exciting.

I imagine that will require a viable alternative. Right now they're in some senses superior to ride-sharing/taxis as they are (potentially) safer, and cleaner. So there's no real market pressure forcing them to lower prices beyond that of uber et-al.

Greenland at least was a thing even in his first term. I'm not sure about the timeline on Panama and Canada, but I also don't see his supporters condemning the rhetoric or even distancing themselves from it.
In America most households (single family homes or appartments or condominiums) have a water heater with something like 60 - 80 gallons of hot water (how hot? it is up to the resident to make it really hot or not that hot. Households with small kids usually do not make the water really hot).

In case of disaster water necessities could be covered by cooling hot water from the water heater.
My favourite part of the Dutch language is how it adds the -je diminutive to other words to make new words. A van? That’s just like a cute baby bus.
If Waymo is systematically choosing safer routes, that sounds like a good thing.
> If you can attach a valid business reason/excuse then it's fairly easy to get time dedicated to experimentation and learning.

This has the same problem as "doing it in free time". I have a finite number of goodie points with management, and I'd be using some when I request this - which means I have fewer things I can request from them in the future.

> That said, if your day job isn't only "write this terraform/python script" you shouldn't be at risk.

I'm not worried about the present, or even the near future. The reason I have other valuable skills is because of the years I spent on writing code. Eventually, I'll stop growing if I rely too much on LLMs. I may have to rely on them if everyone else is and being more productive.
An entire generation that demanded easy degrees that were all worthless because it was easy to get massive student loans for dumb degrees that required no rigor at all.

They leave college with a piece of paper while they can barely do high school math, evidenced by the fact that they signed a loan for 6 figures without actually thinking about it.
I have a small farm, solar, a pond and a ton of farming/gardening books. I for one would LOVE a PipBoy-like cyberdeck with a snapshot of the internet from 2025 when I' hunkered down with my dogs, sheep and goats.
Why would the hot water tank be more dangerous then the cold tap?
Because the stuff that is dominating the news cycle in the US is all about ICE detentions and deportations. That's what's going on domestically. (That and the Signal fiasco)

Many Americans don't seem to have noticed that their official head of state is threatening to annex us and that it's not a joke.
> It's not like there are any real penalties to a breach.

Not in the US maybe. In the EU under GDPR you have to disclose within 48h of you realizing (or made aware of) the breach.

There are fines (at least) if you don't disclose it afaik.

Oracle is gonna have issue with the EU, most likely.
Well sure, that's why Siri is going to hold an advantage with iCloud users (if Apple can catch up), and Microsoft will have an advantage with Office users. Those are the three major ecosystems.
It feels like we ran out in the first decade since the iPhone (2007-2017) and have been running on fumes since. Can you name some world changing consumer app or company outside of AI fluff that came to be in that post 2017 to end of 2022 period when chatgpt was released?

> Defensive weapons are also a good idea.

Violent crime really isn’t a thing in the immediate aftermath of disasters, at least in the US. Looting can be an issue but that is usually predicated on the absence of residents e.g. areas that have been evacuated, so you aren’t likely to run into looters if they exist.
It may seem odd to people who grew up in the single-family detached housing world of the postwar US,

Funny that Linus himself doesn't consider much in the release noteworthy besides the GPU stuff, yet the submission article goes on about "leaps", "big news" and "major step".
I do think that Android is bad-faith open source too, but not in that sense. It's bad faith open source because only AOSP is actually open source, and AOSP by itself is not that useful of an operating system. There are a lot of proprietary components required for a functioning Android phone, usually known as Google apps, which are not open source. Android as a system is better described as open core, not open source. There are even mechanisms to prevent you from using your own fork, such as the various "integrity" APIs.
>congestion

I'd think congestion would go up as AVs become more popular, with average occupancy rates per vehicle going down. Since some of the time the vehicle will be driving without any passengers inside. Especially with personally owned AVs. Think of sending a no-human-passenger car to pick up the dog at the vets office. Or a car circling the neighborhood when it is inconvenient to park (parking lot full, expensive, whatever).
Not a lot in most cases. You’re still just grabbing a package and blindly building whatever source code you get from the web. Unless the maintainer is doing their due diligence nothing.

Goes the same for almost all packages in all distros though.

I’d say most of us have some connection to what we’re packaging but there are plenty of hastily approved and merged “bump to version x” commits happening.
Show HN: My Digital Zettelkasten That Connects Data Engineering and Much More
I'm sharing my public Second Brain - a digital Zettelkasten that connects my knowledge across Data Engineering, Personal Knowledge Management, Programming, Productivity, and philosophical topics like Digital Minimalism.

Built with Obsidian and published using Quartz/GoHugo, this knowledge vault contains interconnected notes that I've crafted, curated, and connected over years. I've developed a streamlined publishing workflow where I simply add #publish to any note I want to make public, then run make deploy through a custom Rust script that's 30x faster than my original Python implementation.

The entire system works with plain Markdown files, preserves Wikilinks, and allows me to write from any device while maintaining a consistent publishing flow. The interactive graph visualization reveals unexpected connections between technical and philosophical concepts.

I was there then, too, and Google was exceptionally risk averse when it came to calling anything AI. It seemed that the bar for an internal "AI" label was "this is actually AGI", so nothing was labeled AI and everything was just called "ML" or "Deep Learning". This same risk aversion meant none of the cutting edge AI research that Deepmind & Brain/RMI were doing made it to productization. OpenAI changed all that with ChatGPT. It was as if a switch was flipped overnight and suddenly everything within Google was "AI".

Frankly, if there is a macro-level strategy, and I assume their mostly is, I think Google has been doing a great job executing since the launch of ChatGPT. They even commercialized their Diabetic Retinopathy imaging model, which was based on research for a paper published in 2016!

I think I have a better one.

I was trying to download some software from a Japanese website (this was about 10 yrs ago I think). There was an entire survey you had to fill out first. Since I speak no Japanese, I naturally used Google Translate (to Polish, not even to English).

That survey had a "gender" field, and the options were something like "person" and "woman".

Then there are the automatic (mis)translations of button labels and other similar strings in software, where the translating tool often only has a single and ambiguous word to go on, with no context whatsoever.

THe funniest ones I've seen are "branch" (satellite office) versus "branch" (of a tree), "book" (a flight) versus "book" (something you read), "character" (ASCII or Unicode) versus "character" (in a story), "clear" (to remove all) versus "clear" (translated as "cloudless", referring to the sky), "letters" (delivered by a postman) versus "letters" (and not digits), "rate" (how fast. i.e. speech rate) versus "rate" (how much you charge per minute), "prune" (remove all) versus "prune" (dried plum), "manual" (and not automatic) versus "manual" (a user manual), "clubs" (places you go to) versus "clubs" (and not diamonds or spades, "queen of clubs" hav a particularly interesting meaning here), "number" (that you call) versus "number" (of things), "at" (@) versus at (home), "tab" (key) versus "tab" (in a browser), "close" (to me) versus "close" (something), "back" (button) versus "back" (a body part), as well as all the "party" (adventuring team in an RPG) versus "party" (legal entity, i.e. "third party") versus "party" (as in an event you have fun at) shenanigans.

Mistakes like these often hide in accessibility labels, and are hence far more obvious to screen reader users. In normal UI, they're usually found quickly enough that users never notice, but accessibility labels are often overlooked when testing translations.
A starter home in the 1950s is so much closer to an ADU than the median SFH from 1990+
Waymo's map data is a prior, not an authoritative reference to the world. The cars report update when the map data is wrong, and a lot of what they use it for (e.g. traffic light identification, fine localization) degrades gracefully when there's new information in the environment.
I'm still WAY better off with my solar panels and ALL the books on an external hard drive. I can't think of ANY situation where a print out of Wikipedia would be better than a digital version.

There is way too much red tape for an American to visit Cuba.
You're absolutely right, but you've just asserted that almost all companies making software are unreasonable.

Distressingly, doing what you suggest remains the exception by orders of magnitude. Very few people have internalized why it's necessary and few of those have the political influence in their organizations to make it happen.
Go added support for custom iterators a few versions ago.

I think you underestimate how many novelties the car will encounter on existing routes and how adept these cars are at navigating novel routes.

I imagine this route data is an extra extra safeguard which allows them to quantify/measure the risk to an extent and also speed up journey's/reduce level of interventions.
I think that might make sense ingest side, but that's very expensive to deal with if you're doing anything remotely large.

I think sinking into something like delta-lake or iceberg probably makes sense at scale.

But yeah, I definitely agree that CSV is not great.
> Regular litcoding for the sake of it should help.

I got where I am without regular leetcoding. For me, regular leetcoding will only marginally improve my skills. And I definitely don't want to do regular leetcoding just to maintain my skills.

You know how many people love jogging outdoors but hate treadmills? Leetcoding is like treadmills. You may have to do it, but it sucks. Yes, some people love treadmills, but they're in the minority.

The number of miles driven seems large, but Gemini says there are thousands of crashes per day in the US- so 78 or 13 crashes is a really small sample size....
Sure, my understanding is that they collectively share data, and this is combined with central mapping.

On net, yes, they are sensitive to features of the environment and via central coordination maintain a safe map of it.

The mechanism there heavily relies on this background of sharing, mapping, and route planning (and the like) -- which impacts on the ability of these cars to operate across all driving environments.
>What you could expect is a massive developer exodus from the open community to other friendlier projects

You act as if anyone to a first approximation cares about indie developers. Most of the popular apps on Android and iOS are from the big corporations and pay to win games. They could care less about ideology.
Same way you do asbestos remediation. Enclose the area, filter the air, create a clean room around the entire area.

Maybe in the future you laser-atomize every spec that floats past the actor inside an 8ft cube. Who knows?

I don't think it'd be practical to switch overnight - much of our societal infrastructure needs re-engineering for sustainability which will take time - perhaps a gradually increasing percentage of externalized costs can be integrated over time. It'd be real progress toward a Venus Project style resource based economy.
Please read more carefully.The LLM technology exists for at least two decades, well actually even more.You know the technology the LLMs are based on (neural networks, machine learning etc). I am not sure if after smartphones, the LLMs will now further impact intelligence of people like you. And take note: I have been one of the early adopters and I am actually paying for usage. My criticism comes from a realistic assesment of the actual value these tools provide, vs. what the marketing keeps promising (beyond trivial stuff like spinning up simple web apps). Oh by the way, I peeked into your comment history. I see you're one of those non-technical vibe-coder types. Well good luck with that mate and let us know how is your codebase doing in about a year (as someone else already warned you). And if you have any customers, make sure you arrange for a huge insurance coverage, you may need it.
Living in the Netherlands, I have two grocery stores within 1 minute walk from my front door. Because of that my home has barely any stocks of food, and I go almost daily to the store and grab what is needed for the evening meal.

If supply lines were to break down then I would be in trouble.

This stands in contrast to when I lived in Iceland, where it is more like the US when it comes to stockpiling food a week or two at a time
