Yep, this is a great article, but that section (the whole "Rust Isn’t Finished" section) jumped out as a place where there were some simple ways he could have made his life easier. It could also have been a failure of the Rust com

I agree there were perception failures, but that's besides the point. The car made a plan to drive on the wrong side of the road. It shouldn't ever do that, no matter what it perceives. It's illegal whether or not there'

Hmm, the view of the screen isn't clear enough to tell when exactly the car appears. An eerily familiar problem, lol. But that's kind of beside the point. Here's a screengrab of slightly sooner, at 8:05. https://i.

None of those limitations should have mattered in this case, since they all relate to the sensors. We can see the Tesla's view of the world on screen. It knows there are double yellow lines. It knows there is a car in the oncoming lane

That is more compelling, but I'm still not convinced. Out of all the videos I've watched it's the only one that comes close. Smells like broken clock theory to me. "No" is another higher-level abstract concept that

I watched the video and I want to believe, but... I don't know. I have cats, I know cats are intelligent, cats can be trained to understand single words, etc. But I'm just not convinced any cat can string together English sentence

Sure, if they also convince every miner, user, and exchange on earth to download the fork and agree to the protocol change. That's like saying "in the future the linux kernel could be insecure, because the devs could add a keylogg

I ran a quick `while true {}` in the background. It used 7B cycles per second (twice the clock speed for some reason?), while Discord used about 700M. Discord does drop lower if I minimize the window. But still, thousands of context switche

Any company that could build hardware capable of turning a profit would use it themselves, instead of selling it to the public. Don't try to buy a money printer. Life isn't that easy.

I'd say what actually makes a difference is sharing/marketing projects after you build them. If other people don't know your project exists, you'll end up with no users and you'll see your idea on various "stuf

You're completely right. Although I could see just fine, my eyes were extremely fatigued after every workday and I just never realized it. Glasses changed my life. In fact I'm about to go in again for a second stronger pair of rea

My cat had (likely) something similar and needed to regularly be given subcutaneous saline fluid. He learned pretty quick to associate me stabbing him, with him feeling better. That kind of thing becomes easy once you get into the routine.
