I think it's useful for young people to be exposed to what's widely regarded as some of the best-written books out there, so that they might get an idea of what a really well-written book looks like.

What good pacing, characterization, plotting looks like, how to convey a great idea to the reader, without sounding preachy or bore him to tears. And most importantly, how to weave all these elements together into a cohesive whole, as most masterpieces do.

This way they can have a somewhat more critical eye of the more mainstream fiction they'll likely consume in much greater quantity.

I find that most mainstream SF or fantasy books consist of the same foundational elements - but add fantastic concepts or spectacle to the mix, which might grab a certain amount of interest, but must get these foundations right in order for the novel to remain compelling

I think the act of writing is a lossy transformation - someone raised on a steady diet of only sci-fi novels is bound to be only be capable of writing a lesser sci-fi novel.

In order for a writer to reach at least the level of mainstream fiction, the writer must bring some extra from his own - either coming from non-fiction literature, life experience, the rare spark of original genius, or well-executed fundamentals in books like the ones mentioned on the reading list.

The only criticism I could leverage is that the difference between five and zero incidents is very hard to extrapolate information from.

The author kind of plays this up a bit by insinuating that there are incidents we don't know of, and they probably aren't wrong that if there are five fatalities there are going to be many more near misses and non-fatal fender bender collisions.

But for the number of millions of miles on the road covered by all vehicles, extrapolating from five incidents is doing a lot of statistical heavy lifting.
I really dislike your suggestion to eliminate the timer. You frame it like it’s objectively the better choice since you’re a professional - however it’s not.

> Any sort of aggregated comparison of places to purchase from can be considered advertising

This is where your confusion stems from, I think. Any sort of independent third-party review site is totally not advertising as far as I'm concerned. The problem with sites like Yelp is that they accept money from companies and are susceptible to astroturfing. But truly independent reviewers like Consumer Reports, are pretty clear not advertising.

> Now, on that site, is this company allowed to advertise different brands that they carry to me? By definition of advertising, no - the whole purpose of showing me products is to make me purchase, which is the definition. So then do we reach a true communist state where there is only one option to purchase? If so, can I still not see it because it's considered advertising? Okay, fine, I need to be able to see at least one guitar, we can concede that point.

This seems like handwringing about the most extreme possible form of legislation possible which nobody is proposing. I am not sure what definition of "advertising" you're thinking of, but having a list of what products your store sells isn't advertising by any reasonable definition.

Not if it’s below regulatory threshold. Which they seemed to say it was in the article (they said it’s below EPA threshold, so I assume that means the OSHA threshold too).

The article never says how much they detected. I can only assume it’s because it’s a nothing amount. If it was significant they would have been saying how much. It’s hard to take the article seriously as a result. We have crazy sensitive tests now, they do nothing in the article to show it’s not just another story about how sensitive testing is these days.

> Other brands might have so bad FSD that people simply not trust it and basically never use it

The issue is not quite how good the automation is in absolute terms, it's how good it is vs. how it is sold. Tesla is an outlier here, right down to the use of the term "FSD" i.e. "Full Self-Driving", when it's nothing of the sort.
I just want to compound on this one.

If you get rear ended at a stoplight or stopsign it’s very likely the motorcyclist is not at fault. The motorcyclist suffers significantly more bodily injury than a car driver would in a similar collision. As a motorcyclist, you can tell that sometimes people just don’t see you because their brain is looking for something car shaped.

When I ride, every time I stop at a stoplight or stopsign I am watching my rear view mirror to judge if the person behind me is going to stop, and I have an exit strategy if they don’t. Ive had some close calls.
What evidence do you have that Tesla has meaningfully improved the software to fix the referenced issues since then?

Not at all. The car should be smart enough to figure out which sensor is faulty. Otherwise, the car should not be driving itself at all.

There's absolutely a secure system that crosses agencies - they even refer to it in the Signal chat (see the comment about sending details to your "high side inboxes").

There is no statistical evidence cited to show that there really is a difference. And there is no data at all showing the rate of these crashes vs non self driving cars.
Hopefully an expert can chime in, but from what I've gathered we were fairly lucky to catch that one.

First off, it needs to happen when enough detectors are operational to get a good localization. Back then there were just three and all happened to be operational during the event. Just two won't cut it, as you can see from this[1] using just LIGO data versus this[2] which also includes VIRGO data for GW170817[3].

Next the detectors have a limited mass window they're sensitive to, with low frequencies (high mass) limited by seismic isolation and high frequencies (low mass) due to quantum effects. And the noise floor at peak sensitivity limits the maximum range to the objects.

Current sensitivity means we're at the edge of the binary-neutron star population, so we wouldn't expect to see many of those.

With more detectors coming online soon and existing ones getting further upgraded, presumably it'll not be such a rare event in the future.

A nice recent talk which touches on this was given at PIRSA here[4].

It’s a real feature in first party apps (messages, mail, etc), but it’s not fully automatic. When it thinks that a number/address/etc is related to an existing contact, it’ll prompt the user to confirm or deny, and upon confirmation the info is added. Ultimately it’s up to the user.
But is it bad? If you had declare everything in a tomato, you get a long list.
I think we have a lot of proof that human visual detection works well enough to “only” kill around 40k people/year in the US from traffic accidents.

I have had a Tesla for several years now. The visual object detection display very frequently misidentifies objects. Just the other day, it detected my garage (which the car was parked next to) as a semi truck.

I have never, with my wildly imperfect human vision, mistaken a building for a semi truck.

More to the point of the OP, sometimes objects show up and disappear repeatedly.

As I’ve said in other comments, I think EVs and autonomous driving will eventually improve the lot of humanity greatly, but there’s a lot to be desired in the current tech and not any point in trying to pretend it is better than it really is.
Yes, they removed radar from their vehicles in 2021: https://www.tesla.com/support/transitioning-tesla-vision

(Also I wouldn't say it's _irrelevant_ that they don't have lidar, as if they did it would cover some of the same weaknesses as radar.)
I drive a beater used car, I've contemplated installing aftermarket lidar on it, i don't want to drive as a human only relying on being able to see everything by turning my head.
By this argument, since Tesla regularly updates the software, no one can discuss the weaknesses in their self driving software.
It would be better to expand the public domain. Whole generations of works were stolen by extensions of copyright.
I personally like cooperatives too. I’ve always wondered if instead of a tech union a cooperative might be a better fit. No solution is perfect, though. Lots of people want to make an income and not deal with the now governance part of their job. You also have people that are attracted to those kinds of organizations who also desire the governance part. Which goes back to the trope about those that should have authority don’t often want it.
> There's a big difference between advertising and information

I recommend looking up the videos they made in the 1950s about how to use modern appliances, telephones, etc. and then noting that those videos were mostly paid for by the companies that manufactured those goods because they had a vested interest in people knowing how to use the tools so they would buy the tool.

> What we wouldn't be able is to be paid by someone to have a specific public discourse.

Widecast public communications always cost money. Always. Somebody is putting money forward to put a message on that billboard, or on that radio, or on that website. If we ban advertising but we aren't banning billboards, radio, and websites, we are tying off one category of communicator. Cynically, I would expect the result to not be an end to commercial advertising, but for more commercial advertising disguised as other things. I don't know that we would be able to disambiguate the two ideas, not in a world where, for example, public television programs are supported by the Sears Roebuck Corporation.

This is just one of an endless string of lies from Israel. Hind Rajab? World Central Kitchen? and many others that we don't know about. They even shot their own hostages waving white flags. Their first reaction is to lie, and if they get caught they say they will investigate. How can anyone believe them anymore, and how can anyone expect their investigation to lead to full accountability and prevention of future incidents? It just baffles me.
I don’t see any way you can spin this in a positive light. Yeah, there may be many more FSD miles on Tesla, but if that leads to a bunch of motorcyclists getting hit, then maybe that’s exactly the problem.

We know this is one of the core issues of Tesla FSD: its capabilities have been hyped and over promised time and time again. We have countless examples of drivers trusting it far more than they should. And who’s to blame for that? In large part the driver, sure. But Elon has to take a lot of that blame as well. Many of those drivers would not have trusted it as much if it wasn’t for his statements and the media image he has crafted for Tesla.
Tariffs could disrupt Taiwan imports for US builders, cyclists and golfers alike
Depends. Your module can have top level member fields or declarations. (By convention these modules would be capitalized) and in that case it would be instantiated as a struct (no objects in zig)

MyModule.zig

somefield: u32,

fn get(self: @This()) u32 {
return this.somefield;
}

main.zig

const Module = @import("MyModule"); // note there are build parameters necessary to make this a module

fn main() void {
var x: Module = .{.somefield = 42 };

_ = x.get() // => 42

...

A module is an import external to your project. Whether or not the import has top level fields or declarations, the mechanism is the same for structs, imports, and modules. For all imports (including modules) you should imagine an implicit `struct{...}` expression surrounding the code in your file.

Would also be interesting to see: what % of rear end crashes caused by AV vs human driver
The article gives a pretty misleading impression of where FSD stands today. It treats highway behavior as if nothing has changed, but that’s not accurate.

Before October 2024, the highway stack was still running on Tesla’s older software. A major shift happened with version 12.5.6, which brought the end-to-end neural network to highways for the first time.

Then in December, version 13.2.2 pushed things even further by scaling the model specifically for HW4/AI4. It’s a major step up from earlier versions like 12.3.x from April.

I absolutely feel for anyone who’s been involved in an accident while using FSD. But at the end of the day, the system still requires driver supervision. It’s not autonomous, and the responsibility ultimately falls on the person behind the wheel.

If you’re going to evaluate how FSD performs today, you really need to be looking at version 13 or greater. Anything older just doesn’t reflect what the system is capable of now.

The comment you are replying to is saying the chance of error decreases with more pilots since there is redundancy. They are not saying it’s like too many chefs in a kitchen.
Almost any other order would be better, though I agree that a truly random order would be slightly worse. These are mostly fiction, so in the library they are shelved by the author's surname. (If this idea didn't occur to you, presumably you have never been in a library, which makes me wonder why you are commenting at all.) You could also group them by century, by original language, by country of origin, by mood, by difficulty, by length, or by primary themes. Any of those would be superior in suggesting to you what books you might want to read next on the basis of books you had already read.

While we're at it, just listing that information for each title would also be very valuable, even without reordering the list.
Evidence is a strong word. But based on personal driving, other drivers comments, and seeing tests by channels like Dirty Tesla and Chuck Cook, you can tell the difference between current FSD v13, and what we had 2 years ago (v10 or v11) is absolutely gigantic.
