This is wrong - the iCloud check is against known CSAM hashes, the false positive rate is essentially zero.

Yeah - this is the reason it's bad. If you calculate the number of shares determined by the price when you join you're locking in more shares earlier. If you are forced to negotiate that each year then you lose the growth you woul

AGI isn't really about artificial humans. It's about very good general problem solving software that's way beyond the capabilities of humans while not being aligned with human interests. Not because the software is evil, but

- 2010 isn’t 2012 (and I don’t think that it’s true Elon even said that at the time - at best he may have said 2016?) - FSD is one example, but the improvement of computer vision since 2015 has been massive and deep learning approaches to g

You should read the excerpts in the paper I link to which suggest otherwise (that it’s not memorized and that it’s deducing rules).

I'm not sure I buy that - biology is often messier because of nature related constraints, it gets optimized for other things (energy, head size, etc.) The way a plane flies is quite different than the way a bird flies in complexity - t

Agreed - any functioning modern government needs an effective IC, the replies to your comment are naive. People in DC are more likely to see the pragmatic reality as part of their work, rather than some HN commenter who works on ads at face

You claimed deceptive advertising - now you’re switching to a different argument about safety and risk, which I think is also wrong. None of your stuff is in good faith though so there’s no point to more discussion.

FSD was advertised as paying for something that would come in the future - I bought it under that assumption (and so did everyone I know that has it). That was and remains true. They've continued to make progress towards it: https:&#x

When you look at the actual fraud (like Theranos) silicon valley funds are nowhere near it. The people that get duped are usually outsiders that are more easily manipulated. It can be hard to tell the difference between big ideas and bullsh

Something can be true in one case and not true in another. Nikola looked like fraud from the start (no Silicon Valley funds invested iirc - money came from Detroit). Elon Musk is obviously different.

This is a really great movie - I know it’s popular in Europe, but many Americans don’t know about it. It’s worth watching and pretty relevant to issues today with surveillance and political risk.

I'd also add ncdu - which is really great when you need to easily see what's eating up disk space. jq is also super nice when you have to parse json data. I also like powerlevel10k: https://github.com/romkatv/

I think we're mostly in agreement? When you disable wifi/bluetooth via the control center, pop-up text appears saying exactly what that means. I'm not sure how they could make that more clear. It still may not be your (or my)

It’s one of those features that is more annoying for you or me, but useful for 95% of (less technical) users. My guess is accidentally disabling those services via control center was a common issue. I’d rather it be the other way, but that’

If you turn it off via settings it stays off. The control center just disconnects for 24hrs.

Yep - that looks like the stuff I was remembering, nice find.

The supercharger is a counter example. It was built out over time while early adopters had the ability to charge at home. It explicitly didn’t require being built up all at once because people could charge at home.

At the time there was no good alternative with existing infrastructure in place. Today with EVs and modern battery tech that isn’t true.

I don't think everyone wants to charge their car in eight hours or less or at the same time in most cases. Seems like load balancing would probably work out in the short term if necessary. You've obviously thought about this more

Arguably Bluray and VHS were already winning in those instances? They'd be the EV to Hydrogen's example, though it's a bit of a strained metaphor. I think it's rare for something without adoption to get taken up just bec

Has there ever been an example of that working in history? Even with lots of money, I think that’s a story of how to go bankrupt.

I’d guess it’d be obscenely expensive without economies of scale based on current demand and distribution. As far as “no range anxiety” people in that world would just be making similar arguments, “what if there’s no nearby gas station”, “w
