To be clear, I’m not saying they will or won’t succeed! And the converse is true too! If through their actions FSD is ultimately delayed a year, then they contributed to extended the carnage of human driven automobiles. The point is the sca

Tesla doesn’t have to be safer now to follow this reasoning. If Tesla’s approach ultimately succeeds in getting FSD working and into the mainstream, then for each year earlier that happens than it otherwise would , up to about 30,000 liv

That [some] child poverty exists in a capitalist society does not mean that capitalism creates child poverty.

"Cranks up" the global carbon footprint -- relative to what? "Wastes" resources better left in the ground -- according to whom? You think someone needs to be _granted_ the * right* to research and develop a great feat o

I think it’s common to underestimate the hidden complexity in things. Even the smallest widget can contain surprising amounts of innovation. Take the diminutive Apple iPhone Wall Charger - that little wart is the culmination of decades of s

It’s not suboptimal for the shipbuilders, or any of the thousands of people and hundreds of associated companies all the way down the supply chain. The fact that the end product happens to be a yacht is largely irrelevant to the economic im

You act like home-ownership isn't an absolutely essential part of the economy, or like driving roughly half the population from their homes is not an undesirable thing? Of course there are compelling financial products which incentiviz

That WSJ article is basically pompous trash, not science. Kids don’t even use SMS.

I think calling them tokens and giving them acronyms like they’re a currency of some sort leads to a lot of the confusion. I mean, Java class naming wouldn’t be any better but “WETH” is just extending a base class with an interface.

Seems to me that Omicron is essentially a vaccine in its own right. Highly attenuated and extremely mild to non-existent symptoms. The best part is even the anti-vax crowd will be innoculated!

They are being caught and arrested. Then the DA lets them go, so they go back and steal more, and spread the word that nothing happens even when you do get caught.

IANAL, but it seems to me that there would be a strong ADA/accessibility defense for youtube-dl as a user agent. The other major defense is that it’s a tool with significant lawful use. Many digital tools can be used to infringe. It’s

Crazy what happens when you decide to freeload off a stranger’s code who you have no contract or agreement with whatsoever, beyond a license you must accept to use the software which disclaims any warranty whatsoever, even fitness for any p

This seems like irresponsible speculation and insinuating that Marek is about to commit a felony? I’d rather skip the character assassination based on hypothetical future actions please, and focus on what’s actually happened.

We’ve made the vaccine free, and widely available. If there were still people waiting weeks to get a vaccine they want to take then I can see an argument why we should all suffer serious injury (like what’s happening at this school) to try

Those people can vaccinate and do any number of measures to protect themselves as they see fit. As you can see it’s not a zero sum game. The precautions you are implying must be taken to protect a hypothetical outlier is essentially shuttin

I love so much of what moxie is saying here. I also feel differently on some important points. I believe all the issues discussed here are real. Some are even mildly terrifying to the point of being hysterical. Interestingly, I think all th

Thanks for the background. Truth really is stranger than fiction. You couldn’t make this stuff up. I can absolutely see how people would be pulled deeply into conspiracy webs by this stuff. That said, I wonder what the ToSs say on GitHub an

It’s definitely not analogous to an open mail relay in the slightest. The whole point of an open mail relay is the 3rd party can send their crap through your servers to anyone they want to target. This scenario gives the spammer no control

This is a massive story and hugely under-reported. Most of the claims for deaths being filed are not classified as COVID-19 deaths, Davison said. “What the data is showing to us is that the deaths that are being reported as COVID deaths

I think a great way to do this would be for the government to enter the market with a fixed enrollment and a lottery system. They can run the program for 3 years for 100,000 people and transparently report all their findings and we can see

My understanding is that it can be repaired for the same approximate cost, but it requires a different technique (welding)? So it’s a training opportunity for the workforce to earn slightly more per hour and open up new job opportunities wi

The excessive focus on carbon will eventually need to change. The problem is average surface temperature, to which atmospheric carbon levels are only one of many drivers. The most important driver of surface temperature is TSI. [1]. TSI can

Amazing to read through that repo and then come to realize that’s not some reverse engineered hacker project, but actually a trillion dollar car company publishing that on their own GitHub page. Very cool.

And if you ask for a shot of the “wrong” coordinates, how long until a nice person with a badge knocks on your door? Seems like an obvious kind of honeypot?

I am in the FSD Beta queue but I have not gotten access to it yet! I wonder if the more aggressive monitoring and alerts turn on when you enter the queue for FSD Beta as a way to monitor your alertness before granting entry into the Beta?

Thank you, I know that. I’m just explaining how I know the technology works, which is interesting and relevant in this context, not looking for driving tips. But you bring up a great point! Very interestingly, the current version of the sof
