If the camera system + software results in being 1% safer than a human, and a given human can’t afford the lidar version, society is still better off with the human using the camera-based FSD than driving manually. Elon being a piece of shit doesn’t detract from this fact.

But, yes, a lot of “ifs” in there, and obviously he did this to cut costs or supply chain or blahblah

Lidar or other tech will be more relevant once we’ve raised the floor (everyone getting the additional safety over manual driving) and other FSDs become more mainstream (competition)

I wear many hats. You failed, BTW.

Can we ban bot-posted articles with incomplete body text?

I prefer to reduce demand, instead. Everyday people who feel happy and safe don’t feel the need to be violent.

Just because it’s possible, doesn’t mean it’s common.

It’s hard to convince tech people to be activists. There’s this other term, in between bougie and proletariat that classifies the people in between. Something like, the people who have it just good enough to not give a shit.

And that’s like all of tech.

They’re not selling the copy, bruh. They’re selling a technology that very few understand. Smart people pretend they get it, but they don’t. That’s how rare the math is.

Whatever happened to copying isn’t stealing?

I think the crux of the conversation is whether or not the world is better with ChatGPT. I say yes. We can tackle the disinformation in another effort.

But that’s on the LLM side not the bot side.

Finally, people can enjoy cheese pizza in peace.

Facebook is Meta, no one cares about Microsoft.

So the acronym is MANGA

No alert development, threat hunting, or ML research? No upskilling of any kind? Must be nice to work at a company with no impact to the world when it gets popped.

Defragging is about… defragging: making the data contiguous (a continuous stream along one arc of the same radius) so it doesn’t have to jump around.

You sound fun at (key signing) parties

The problem isn’t necessarily “stuff not sent over vpn isn’t encrypted”. Everyone uses TLS. It’s more that you are no longer NATed behind the VPN egress IP. When governments want to assassinate anyone who touches a destination IP, having the true source IP instead of a VPN source IP is pretty helpful. For this to be practical you first need a botnet of compromised home routers… which they already have.

In a corporate environment, traffic that is VPN’d typically also undergoes better logging and deep packet inspection.

If your lack of belief in it changed the actual reality of things, I’m pretty sure that’d make you God.

That’s just the intermediate value theorem.

If we define the size of the Internet as a continuous function, and it started at zero and currently doesn’t fit in your phone then yeah, no shit, at some point it fit in your phone.

If it’s truly continuous there was an exact point where it would exactly fill up your phone with no room left over.
