clickbait..

And still no traditional chinese characters which means you need a desktop extension and can't learn it on mobile.

Presumably if illegal content is not taken down by the customer then the host cancels the service, right? Otherwise the host risks liability. That's different from revealing the IP of a customer which requires a court order.

Yes, it is akin to revealing the IP of a user on a social media site.

> Your Tesla can function as a boat for brief periods of time

https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/10685821263065825...

Uber: 1 death and halted the program

Tesla: many deaths, no halt, no improvement in the program. See: phantom braking

Hmm I do remember Musk joking awhile back about someone using their car as a boat. I can see why the above commenter might perceive that as real advertising since Tesla's advertising truly is word of mouth using social media.

More distressing is the above commenter described a nightmare scenario which went unaddressed. I guess that's your right. I wonder what you think about that part of their comment and whether it is "believable" or not. I find many aspects of messaging coming from Tesla, either the company itself or supporters, as unbelievable.

Tesla is the big fish here. If Uber has one instance, then given the size of their program, Tesla may have hundreds.

It's not hard to see the connection between FSD driving towards concrete pillars and the AP accidents on highways driving towards concrete barriers. None of this is hyperbole. FSD isn't a whole new system, it's based on AP. As Elon often says, they have been going for incremental improvements rather than the all-or-nothing approach taken by Waymo and others.

The rub in Tesla's safety report is it compares Teslas to all makes of vehicles, including motorcycles and trucks, and all costs. A fair comparison would be to newer vehicles in a similar price range.

Their autopilot stat is also misleading because AP will most likely be engaged only in ideal weather conditions on divided roads.

Apples to apples would be comparing miles driven on FSD autopilot to miles driven by human drivers in similar makes of vehicle on the same types of roads in the same weather conditions.

Human drivers don't steer towards concrete pillars every time they drive down the street.

Let's clarify. It's public in the sense that a limited number of customers are driving with this on public roads.

Also, Elon keeps promising "the button" which would allow any Tesla FSD "owner" to get the software.

A number of people shelled out $10k for this software that they do not yet have. So there is a real possibility that it may soon be made available to everyone.

Oh man this was huge. You have to remember, machine learning was nothing back then. It was on nobody's radar.

Then comes this flashy $1 million prize. Tons of universities had teams. So it really helped their recruitment.

It also likely contributed to the idea of creating Kaggle which has itself greatly contributed to data-science education by giving everyone an open forum in which to compete.

Then there were other signficant projects around this time like ImageNet which became a competition too. That open dataset led to tons of research and applications.

> Ah that's unfortunate, I didn't know.

No sweat, we can't know everything, god save the interwebs!

> the comparison they did is massively unfair.

Agreed. This is all puff

The service itself? Okay, so in theory anyone could host competitions with this backend.

The lion's share of Kaggle's effort lies in their expertise in (1) making deals, and (2) making sure the challenge is legit (no bias in training data, not too easy, etc.). That's not easily replicable, so while an "Open-Source alternative" sounds good up front, the bulk of the work remains.

> the comparison to Kaggle is added by the OP, I don't see it mentioned on the website anywhere

It's on their github page,

https://github.com/Cloud-CV/EvalAI#platform-comparison

You can rollover to get around contribution limits [1], and the government gets your money now rather than later,

> A Roth IRA rollover (or conversion) shifts money from a traditional IRA or 401(k) into a Roth. You can get around Roth IRA income limits by doing a rollover. You'll owe tax on any amount you convert, and it could be substantial.

Limiting the max amount would reduce near-term government tax revenue. So I don't think it would happen.

[1] https://www.investopedia.com/how-to-do-a-rothira-rollover-47....

You would disincentivize good investments and reduce GDP as a result.

> I 100% agree Thiel has broken no crime and I think you should be embarrassed to say that the people who created the Roth intended this. There is no evidence of that. We should recognize that this Roth IRA is sheltering more money than people expected and make (or refrain from making) regulatory changes in response.

I remember when I was young and maxed out my Roth, also converted a lot into it, and a tax accountant warned me that the government could change the rules so the gains are taxed. I thought, "no way, they couldn't do that!"

Now I see they very well could as a response to arguments such as yours.

I can't say I'm a fan of Thiel's business or writings however many of us rely on Roth remaining as-is. It already has limits. Thiel simply made good investments. We shouldn't punish that unless there was something like insider trading occurring. And that should not impact the existence of the Roth.

How does this relate to or differentiate eval.ai from kaggle?

What is closed about kaggle that this does differently? I've always viewed that community as extremely open, even allowing hosts the option to open source solutions or not, thus attracting more challenges and competitors.

The about page [1] for this project says,

> With EvalAI, we want to standardize the process of evaluating different methods on a dataset

Standardization often does come from openness, I'm just not sure juxtaposing against kaggle is the right move.

Yes, I could have phrased that differently.

TIL! I thought federal was required even with no income.

Still, you're probably leaving money on the table if you don't file with no income, especially this last year with all the stimulus.

About whether McAfee could prove no income, I guess he would've had his day in court to show it.

Article says he didn't file for four years.

Users expect to see the requested permissions.

When you opt-in, does it notify you of all the permissions the app will require?

- view network connections

- pair with Bluetooth devices

- full network access

- run at startup

- prevent device from sleeping

Where does it say that?

> If 10% of the cars are self-driving, to a first approximation there will be 10% less drunk drivers.

It seems unlikely that people who buy/use early self-driving cars have the same percentage of drunk driving as the general population. Surely employment rates would be a factor, for example.

Good for them. If I were a parent, I might ask my kid why a Chinese-made app does not allow content made in China to be viewed in the US (and allow communication with its original author), or vice versa.

I realize not every parent will attempt to have this conversation with their kids, and that's fine. For me, it's about discovering history and determining what we value.
