  • But no Amuricans want to do back breaking labor for only $5 an hour, and without healthcare or three weeks vacation. Where am I supposed to find new labor to exploit so cheaply?

  • Not a data target, but my wife was pick pocketed in Paris a few months ago. We were boarding a train to the airport and somebody yanked it from her pocket as she boarded with her hands full.

    We both have iPhones. Within five minutes while sitting on the train I remotely locked her phone then wiped it. Never saw any fallout that could be attributed to somebody having access to it.

  • Actually the excuse Musk uses is that humans only use their eyes to drive, so that’s enough for cars as well.

    Wrong on so many levels…

  • To be fair, the Tesla vision system has 3 cameras facing forward. One in the center above the front bumper grille and two behind the rear view mirror. Those two provide some level of stereoscopic vision to help judge distances.

    But yeah, the lack of other sensors is a huge issue. Anything from bug splatter to mud to snow etc. can easily obscure one or more cameras and render the whole vision system unreliable.

    We also process light differently than cameras do

    To expand on this a little further, human vision has also developed the ability to filter out unnecessary information in order to avoid overloading the brain. When tracking moving objects the eyes mostly send deltas of the movement to the brain. Computers, however, are the exact opposite. The cameras essentially send a series of still images, and it’s up to the computer to compare them to look for any movement.

  • I recall that people blocked Waymo cars at one point by simply placing orange cones in front of them. Given Teslas only use cameras I wonder if you could just slap a sticker of an orange cone (or just a splash of orange paint) on the hood and confuse it enough that it wouldn’t move…

    Edit: Or, if you really want to be a dick, get some black stickers (the stronger the glue the better) and surreptitiously put them over one or more cameras.

  • Just like all that money Reagan promised would trickle-down will fill their pockets any day now.

  • At Amazon, Some Coders Say Their Jobs Have Begun to Resemble Warehouse Work

  • On top of this they are also highly compartmentalized, which sounds like a nightmare to me. A few years ago we ran into a bug with one of their AWS services (I forget the specifics at this point, but it was with a network load balancer). It was a rather novel bug, but easy enough to reproduce, so I was able to give AWS support a working example. They quickly confirmed the bug and said it would be fixed as soon as possible.

    Since it was an odd bug I asked AWS support if they could provide a high level description of the fix once it was implemented. It was then that they told me how their teams were so highly siloed and couldn’t really share details like that with each other. The support rep I worked with wouldn’t even know if the bug was fixed by a load balancer team, a more generic networking team, or some other team. They would only know the bug was fixed.

  • My initial thought was similar but from the opposite perspective. Rich people like Elon would figure out a way to hold onto their wealth when they’re reborn. Like keep most of your wealth in an anonymous numbered account and make sure you have that number well memorized…

    What game from your childhood is most nostalgic for you?

    Jump

  • You know you’re old when most of the answers involve video games from one era or another.

    The first video game we owned was a Coleco Telstar, which came out in 1976. It had a whopping 3 games:

    • hockey
    • handball
    • tennis

    Basically all were just variations of Pong…

  • Followed by your mom ringing a bell or using some other noisemaker to call you home for dinner. We’d have about ten kids from around our neighborhood playing kick the can. And we could all tell who had to go home based on the type of bell etc. and the direction it came from.

  • No. THX-1138 would have been filmed decades before these tunnels existed. I think that was filmed in San Francisco subway tunnels that were still under construction in the early 70’s.
