That lack of empathy might come back to bite those companies in the ass later on though when the people affected start to vote for politicians who promise to protect their jobs by heavily taxing companies who use/focus on automation.
At the base, in the perfectibility of man, as I discussed elsewhere in this subthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13055322 Pretty much everything flows from that.
I think it's not being taught very much or used professionally as much as it used to. So people if they do have exposure feel the frustration of beginners, and never reach the point where they are productive with it and start to appreciate its strengths.

> If you are Amazon, you have to acknowledge that you are slowly corroding the retail sector, which employs many people in this country. If you are Airbnb, no matter how well-meaning your focus on delighting travellers, you are also going to affect hotel-industry employment.

> Otto, a Bay Area startup that was recently acquired by Uber, wants to automate trucking—and recently wrapped up a hundred-and-twenty-mile driverless delivery of fifty thousand cans of beer between Fort Collins and Colorado Springs. From a technological standpoint it was a jaw-dropping achievement, accompanied by predictions of improved highway safety. From the point of view of a truck driver with a mortgage and a kid in college, it was a devastating “oh, shit” moment. That one technical breakthrough puts nearly two million long-haul trucking jobs at risk.

Ok, and? What exactly do you expect these companies to do? Is it Otto's responsibility to provide new jobs to all the displaced truck drivers? Or should they just shut themselves down, letting all the benefits of self-driving trucks come to naught?

> we need to learn about those who are threatened by it.

I don't see what the author expects to happen here. To the extent that people get screwed over by the free market and we, as a society, want to do something about that, that's clearly the government's job.

And if people vote for representatives that oppose stronger social safety nets, as people literally just did a couple weeks ago(1), then apparently our country -- not Silicon Valley, but the whole voting populace -- is not interested in providing additional assistance to those hurt by technological advancement.

>"Everybody worked for Trump. He couldn’t lose."

Hillary comfortably won the popular vote, and something like 100,000 voters in strategic states were what swung the election to Trump. "He couldn't lose" is a lot different from "he could win", and is a ridiculously strong claim that nobody who believes in evidence and logic-based reasoning would have made previous to Nov. 9th.
This attitude is why silicon valley is well on its way to becoming the villain in the narrative of our progress. It is a place dedicated to redefining the world we live in. Valley companies can, and regularly do, redefine how companies work and make money. Sometimes they need to be the ones to bite the bullet and lose some of their yearly profits by spending it on making this transition buttery smooth.

Without them trying to make this effort, and the common man fearing the gaze of the innovation beast, governments will have to act - and not necessarily by transition those affected into positions where they can still be secure, but by stifiling the innovation by actively targeting the catalysts of these changes with laws and regulations and hoops upon hoops to jump through.

The geometry calculation is currently approximate, not taking into account that the laser planes have ~3cm offset from center, that's one. Timing precision is probably the next one - microseconds might not be enough and we can measure better.

Currently std dev of each position coord in rest is 1.9mm.

Fusion with IMU is the next level and is usually done later down the line because it needs to be tuned for particular model. Yes, the drone does that.

The actual components seem interesting. The odd part of this seems to be the building/requiring process. It seems that there are some implicit dependencies on webpack, which are not well spelled out.

It appears the team chose to make an oddly generically named babel plugin: `babel-plugin-import` which seems to do some manipulation of CSS/SASS/etc styles (which seems out of scope for babel). I assume the generic name was chosen hoping other libraries would embrace a similar pattern, however, I'm not seeing any spec defining how another library should implement this.

> I don't see how the things he discusses have to do with empathy in Silicon Valley. Driverless trucks, for instance, have nothing to do with empathy and a lot to do with simple economics. Someone is going to build them if they can make a buck doing it, and empathy isn't going to somehow stop that.

But whether or not you consider what happens to the people who used to drive those trucks and what they, their families, and their communities are going to do when they no longer have work has everything to do with empathy.
The things that - to me, at least - are better about a Linux/Un*x-based desktop only became apparent after spending at lot of time using it (a year, maybe 18 months).

Which makes me pretty bad at convincing people to give it a try - "Yeah, it sucks at first, but trust me, in year you will love it" is not a good pitch.

(OTOH, having first installed SuSE Linux about sixteen years ago, the process of getting a Linux desktop setup is soooo much smoother these days.)
The effects you list are a result of others not having empathy for people who would end up supporting Trump.
I agree it definitively increases risk. But I also think that it is inevitable that such a colony will be highly dependent on supply runs for longer than we'd like.

> where he claims the leader of the Martians will be called 'Elon'. I wouldn't have believed it if I had not seen it.

It's a funny coincidence, but not that improbable: Elon is a biblical name.
Note that many of us who run science codes think the interconnect is being overbuilt. I always got pushback because my code of interest, AMBER, didn't scale above 128 nodes on typical supercomputers due to the communication requirements. I switched to running N independent simulations and pooled the stats, getting far more high quality results.

I've pointed this out to people in SC community, they don't really care. Either they have a problem that only runs on a SC (IE, a science code with strong scaling) or they're just not interested in trying other approaches.

Anyway, a supercomputer for deep learning makes sense. The communication patterns in deep learning can be very intense, with a lot of n2 calls, and so a good interconnect might speed up the code. However, tensorflow etc aren't designed for MPI SC architectures.
Is this somewhat similar to the containerizerd MySQL used at YouTube that was open sourced by Google? Vitesse (http://vitess.io/overview/)
In my case it was.
one point is that most of SV's technology is in the hands of an elite of techno-libertarians and super-rich VCs with various chips on various shoulders.

they have no interest in spreading technology's monetary or possible systemic benefits to the entire population, and indeed a direct interest in accumulating and then exercising political power.

it's a real problem that cannot be explained away through a lack of education, as many over-educated, under-employed and disempowered young (and old!) people directly experience day to day. open-source software and education are steamrollered by the directed power of hierarchy.
We can expect a company to have respect for the rule of law even if we don't expect them to go beyond the call of duty in charitable acts.

I'm happy to use Signal today.

In the long run federated protocols and servers demonstrated their resilience regarding third parties and time, see irc for example.

Probably Signal is just a reference implementation, the big deal is implementing Signal protocol in different systems (whatsapp, allo, fb messenger..).

Having said that, I would be happier to not give my phone number for registration, and contact discovery but this is today a user interface well understood and accepted outside geek communities that's hard to eradicate.
Profit motives are short-term optimization behavior (or game-theory maneuvering), pure and simple.

I don't believe in companies because they think in the short-term. The average life-expectancy for companies in the S&P is 18 years.[1] Over our lifetimes, we will see endless companies live and die, each only seeking profit for the next quarter, year, or decade.

Believing that the role of companies (and especially Silicon Valley businesses) should be profit-seeking without any thought to empathy is like shooting ourselves in the temporal foot. What should our long-term strategies be? What company is going to care about you when you retire, or be thoughtful about the next generation's well-being?

It's the most idiotic of strategies that would invest in a few long-term strategies (governments, cooperatives, (a few) non-profits) and almost all short-term strategies without thinking about how they balance.

Breitbart's ex-editor-at-large quit because they "shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle."

> perhaps direct neural interfacing

I would really like to be excited by the prospect of neural interfacing, but all I can imagine is people catching computer viruses.
I needed to make some adjustments and fix some bugs there to make it work. It has the code, but it didn't work great indoor. I'll try to send these changes upstream when I have time. Let me know if you're interested in them - I can explain further.
“Productivity is at record levels, innovation has never been faster, and yet at the same time, we have a falling median income and we have fewer jobs. People are falling behind because technology is advancing so fast and our skills and organizations aren’t keeping up.” It is, he said, “the great paradox of our era.”

While I believe this is true, and understand why it is a problem, I do not think there is anything that can be done about it. Now that billions of people are online, Moore's law has made hardware cheap and fast, and anyone can build a piece of software with a chance of viral growth (if lucky), we have to establish that we are in a winner-take-all environment. This is simply the power law at work.

I would also say that we are without a doubt, in the early phases of this period - going forward, any job that can be automated will be, eventually. If my company can front the capital expenditures to build/buy a robot that can do my job for $4/hour (with out lunch and coffee breaks) instead of $35/hour w/ benefits, my new salary should be $4/hour per basic economics of supply and demand.

Is this a huge problem, absolutely. Is it going away - not a chance. The writing is on the wall for a lot of repetitive tasks - the best thing everyone can do is vote for people who want to improve education, starting and elementary level in the US and push more kids in the STEM careers. If you want to contribute on an individual level, consider tutoring / mentoring younger kids in your free time. Show them that instead of pissing their entire youthful lives away scrolling through the useless feeds that are facebook, instagram and/or snapchat, they could actually build their own facebook/snapchat.
I'm not sure -- you could make the argument that without dollars exchanged, the value of Google's algorithm is less. The overall irony that I'm attempting to express is that this person is part of a governmental "trust and safety" team but has been found untrustworthy by a pretty intelligent company. Now, I think acting on this information would be highly problematic for other reasons... I just find it interesting.
And why were they patronized and treated like children again?

Oh, perhaps it was because they claimed Obama wasn't born in the US. Or because they denied global warming. Or because they hate Mexicans and Muslims.

In short, because they bought in to the steaming pile of bullshit that is the right wing media echo chamber.

When they think like children, talk like children, and act like children, they shouldn't be surprised that they're treated like children.
Counterpoint: a lot of things like automated cars and whatnot are only possible by the wide-spread reallocation of resources to their accomplishment.

Uber is able to afford this beachhead because they flaunt local laws and exploit workers, Google because they have a massive surveillance apparatus they are able to charge money for advertisers to access.

The simple explanation "oh well somebody would've built it anyawys" is incorrect.
Forgive me if I'm getting too personal, but are you looking for tolerance or acceptance?

Because "live and let live" is an old and honored American tradition, and taking this out of the domain of the family, not being able to refuse to bake a gay wedding cake is the antithesis of that tradition.

They're not directly comparable, because it's your parents, then again, you hardly have to go so far as to desire to transition to be given the cold shoulder or anything but a mild rebuke over something else that differs that's fundamental in your nature and that's different between you and your parents (in my case it pertained to simply going to college).

A little late on this, but in case you're still paying attention... Windows will work, but won't be able to use all of the hardware, since it's not all standard stuff. This Apple support article mentions various bits that won't work without the drivers: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204923

It's basically the same reason you'd need custom Windows drivers for any hardware. It's just that in this case, it's Apple hardware.

If you pay me my monthly salary to prove you wrong, I will happily do it, should we discuss a work contract?
I was the first in my (working class) family to go to university, followed by my younger siblings. We may not now move in the same circles as the other children of the neighbours on our street, but we sure don't patronize them, think them any less, or dismiss their and so many other people's genuine concerns be it immigration, or crime, or job security. Unlike certain media and others who claim to be left-wing in the outlook, but may as well be from a different planet.

No one is asking anyone to hang out or connect with "normal" people, but we can surely start with the generally valid assumption that most people act in good faith and not dismissing anyone as being "deplorable" or any of the -isms.
I would recommend that anyone who hires a programmer should test his/her knowledge in C (especially in areas like code that produces undefined or unspecified results), even if the candidate is never going to code in C, ever.

If he/she knows these concepts well, that means he/she have invested much time, and probably know other things well enough (or can learn them easily).

Hi Tevlon,

You're actually a very fortunate person and regardless of your circumstances, you have the ability to get out of it all and still feel happy. You're also an important individual with a mission to fulfill.

Similar to you, I also was in a financial struggle. I often looked to others and questioned why me - I had a full time job, I was studying for my Masters and I also had to manage our family mortgage.

The fact that you're doing your Masters already shows what a well accomplished academic you are. Not many people can say that they have the good fortune to study or have the ability to get as far as you so congratulations.

I'd be happy to chat with you further about my experience getting over my financial difficulties but the bottom line is as you continue to persevere, you will be able to break through everything! And I mean everything! I also sought a lot of encouragement from Buddhism and kept my spirits up with people's experiences.

I applied to hundred plus jobs and had about 90 rejections but honestly, it doesn't matter because all you need is just that 1 employer to accept you. And funny as it is, it will be the right job for you.

Cheers. You have a magnificent life ahead of you. What you're going through now will only create a strong foundation for who you're going to be in the future.
This argument then goes full circle. The government reflect the will of the people and the people currently believe that globalization and immigration are the source of all their ills - not automation. Why do believe this? Because of a failure of the free press, exacerbated by the filter bubble of social media - which is the responsibility of SV.
Somehow I've tried that with just one novel, but Im still curious how other personality manages to read while in autopilot listening to music in terms of deep learning.? Maybe, it really differs for everyone?

As an aside, as someone who considers firearms ownership and possession basic human rights, I'm extremely happy about this development and have been doing everything in my power to assist - to the point that I've offered a standing invitation on my city's subreddit to take anyone who would like to learn about firearms and self-defense to the range at my own expense. It's "anecdata", but the people who have taken me up on this offer have been about as far from the "rural white male conservative" stereotype as one could imagine.

>> I can apply for a job without having my application thrown out on account of my name.
>But your race, sex or sexual orientation?

This is an interesting point for me as well - I'm a 32-year-old white male named "Lyndsy". I've had a couple of hiring processes stop cold on me the moment the hiring manager saw me in person or on Skype. I have no doubt that it was because I'm a man, and they were hoping to hire a woman. I actually don't blame them for this - my own political views allow for discrimination based on any factor - but it has been interesting.
When the most powerful demographic in the United States came together to assert that making America great again meant asserting their supremacy, they were asserting my supremacy.

I find this rhetoric troubling; I know many Trump supporters and none would explain their vote in terms of asserting "supremacy" for their demographic. Given the author's background, I see how he could reach that conclusion, but his assertion stands in opposition to other parts of his article in which he states that engagement is the key to changing minds. I'm not too sure why he thinks that smearing the millions of voters who supported Trump as white supremacists is a positive step toward engaging them in civil discussion.
