It's shitty to just say "you might not do it safely so you can't do it at all". We don't do that when building houses for example - anyone can build a house; you just need to get safety inspections at certain points in the build process. Why not do the same for cars?

I have not either. What's your point? AI isn't perfect.

It's totally solvable and SQLite solves it (or claims to anyway). The real question is if it works. To test this sort of thing properly you really need what is now called DST and I'm not sure SQLite does that. It is pretty well tested though so they've probably done at least some testing of it.

Seems like they're pretty lax about their recommendations tbh. XLS is "preferred".

Read the comment. He's using it in WASM form and doesn't want users to have to download 1.2MB of SQLite every time they visit the page.

Client caches are a thing, so this is most relevant for cold-start customers. In that case PeakSlab’s download size is an advantage.

Fwiw LocalStorage is a SQLite db on most browsers, with a kv api. It’s be interesting to have the actual API available.


Even on warm start PeakSlab is twice as fast. It's not just download size, it's execution speed, zero copy, database decompression, etc.

That's why PeakSlab is written in c, because what's faster than casting the whole database to a struct? ;-P


And often anti-green too, in a cut-off-their-nose way. E.g. until recently they were against nuclear power, and vehemently against HS2, apparently preferring that everyone drives instead.

I'm no fan of China but is it totally unimaginable to you that a country might just want to be successful?

There are plenty of FSD failure examples on YouTube too. I don't think you can draw conclusions from that. Especially because FSD isn't actually driverless yet, unlike Waymos.

FSD clocked in 10billion miles, not in some geofenced playground mind you.

You should be able to share some videos?


There are literally hundreds. Just search for "FSD fail". This one's great.

I remember this. Driver posted telematics where it clearly shows he turned right into ditch.

Next?


I enjoyed this one.

I'm sure there are reasonable explanations for some of them (just like with Waymo). There really are lots though.

Do you have a link though? Because I could only find articles about the initial incident; nothing about telematics he posted. The driver's name is Wally apparently which makes searching easier...

Funnily if you search for "tesla fsd crash compilation" instead you get tons of videos where car prevents crashes. Funny how that works.


I do. It has downsides of course, but what's the alternative at this point?

Depends on your specific problem. Usually redesign your system not to need to care if the other end is a bot or not.

How though? Can you also avoid DDoS simply by designing your system to not care if the requester is a bot or not.

Let's say I'm running https://grep.app/ for example. AI bots start heavily using it, costing me a ton of money. How would you magically design this so it doesn't matter if the end bots are using it?


Rate limit individual clients.

Let's play this out: how do you determine individual clients? By ip? By seasionid?

How do you "determine" individual clients to show them CAPTCHAs? Yes, you can, and probably should, make some use of IP addresses, although that would work better if idiots hadn't polluted the Internet with quite so much NAT.

But you don't have to, and you definitely don't have to completely rely on it. Look for a cookie. If you don't see it, route the client through a page that sets it.

Yes, this is subject to flooding attacks... in exactly the same way that every CAPTCHA system is subject to flooding attacks. But it actually uses fewer resources per request than showing the CAPTCHA would.


> How do you "determine" individual clients to show them CAPTCHAs?

Cookies.

> Yes, this is subject to flooding attacks

Err... Yeah exactly.

> in exactly the same way that every CAPTCHA system is subject to flooding attacks.

Uhm no the whole point of captchas is that it requires (or used to anyway) humans to solve them, thus limiting the rate to human speeds.


I suspect that the HN crowd is somehow insulated from the river of crap and fraud that is the internet experience for a majority of the population.

Wow that's... hideous. I assume they didn't mean it was their favourite design aesthetically!

It’s an awesome looking machine even if it’s a bit dated for some people’s tastes. Any way the wind blows, it’s massively preferable to today’s largely soulless designs.

Taste is subjective after all. I'd say it has a certain late 90s charm to it.

Indeed it is subjective, I think the "Krups" was beautiful.

There was plenty of solid design in the 90s. Look at the stuff Sony put out.

Or the Gameboy Colour

It looks like a router designed by a toddler.


YMMV. I find old computer cases much beautiful than present day ones. Even Apple had "design" a long time ago.
