A lot of that is for the infotainment systems, but regardless, we're probably going to be seeing automakers struggle more and more with all of the problems that have plagued the software industry for its entire history.

On the one hand, I want to say that situations like this Tesla crash and your minivan example get so much attention because that's rare, so the manufacturers are mostly getting it right and we'll all be fine. On the other, knowing what I know of the software industry plus my past experience as a shadetree, the prospect of that much code running in 65-mile-an-hour murder machines gives me the shivers.
so true. STEM master race.

that's why anyone can just sit in a history or physics graduate level course and be fine because they don't build on each other.

Organic chemistry would never depend on bio or chem 1.

however, if you sleep through algebra 1, its not used at all in geometry so its fine. And neither are used in discrete math.

such a bubble..

what if i told you most students don't learn anything past algebra anyway?
I agree that this doesn't make sense for a crowded establishment, but a lot of cafes/restaurants inside of hotels sit empty during the day. If you have cooks in place already for room service and 1-2 waiters serving coffee, it could make sense to encourage this behavior. Having some customers would help attract more.
SW/HW Bugs happen - fact of life. More concerning is that Tesla denying this was ever reported to them...

I had my driver side view mirror stuck issue fixed and they put in the notes that they re-filled all my tires during repair service allegedly as reqd. by some CA law. Later that week I got an alert that my tire pressure was low and had to get it air pumped so obviously they didn't do that despite having claimed to have done just that...
Depends on which one is listed first.

It's more of a novel way of seeing what we knew was there, and then some willfully clever writing to make the scientifically routine sound new again. The interstitial space and it's role in carrying debris, waste products, and cells into the lymphatic system is well described, indeed a fundamental premise of physiology in health and disease. Extracellular fluid constitutes about 1/3 of a human's fluid volume. Do you really think we haven't thought about where that 15 liters is?

As was said on the other thread, this is like buying the Hubble Space Telescope, pointing it between Mars and Jupiter and breathlessly reporting a new kind of planet that consists of a lot of rocks spread in an orbital ring.
That's entirely speculation at this point. Tesla are the only ones who could confirm or deny that and it's possible that they will never be able to determine it depending on the condition of the computer hard ware.

I agree, I just had in mind that Apple just now added/announced support for external GPUs. Besides Image+Video edditing, I though general computing tasks is a use case they had in mind. It's not like Gaming is big on MacOS.
This is actually supporting GP's argument.

Why do you have to "type" terraform? Are you running terraform from your own machine? Don't. Setup a Jenkins pipeline or what have you. Unless you happen to work alone – and I'd argue even then.

Moving Terraform to Jenkins was the second best thing we have ever done – first thing was moving tfstate to remote storage.

You can provide any required parameters (or jenkins can fetch for you), run terraform init, plan, ask for confirmation, apply (and even perform retries). And then run any post steps. Even managers can use terraform now (and we have a pretty complicated setup).

I guess only Terraform Enterprise might beat this, but I have little experience with that.

Marta author here.

I agree with you that the open source software has higher level of trust than the proprietary one, but I afraid I just can't maintain Marta steadily for a long time if it was open-sourced (and then forever free). And I doubt the community will do that instead of me. In case if you're interested, I expressed my thoughts about this here [1] earlier.

I do promise, though, that Marta will never collect personal data, display ads or do some other bad things. I just don't see any sense in that, and I'd rather have a good reputation.

Ask HN: Calculus Books Beyond Basic-Level Engineering
Not the problem-centric ones, but those books which make you love calculus more.
There currently really are no good cards to get from AMD because of the inflated prices caused by miners. I've heard that Nvidia GPUs work just fine with the Nvidia drivers installed. I'd totally recommend AMD any time of the year, but you cannot get their cards at MSRP anywhere.

AMD got the following models (mid-range, kinda high-end): RX 540-580 and Rx Vega 56 and 64. The RX580 got an MSRP of around $200, but you can only get them for $400+. Same problem for the other models.

Nvidia got the following ones (mid-range, high-end): GTX 1050-1080 and Ti models meaning a boost in power. You might be able to pick up a GTX 1060 for $200-300 which is still more than the $200 MSRP, but that's what you can get.
> fostered a libertine atmosphere in which taking offense was itself offensive.

I've seen this here and there. What this does - among the useful things - is it removes the ability to set healthy boundaries. So unhealth grows. Boundaries are needed in professional and personal life.

> "...Why didn’t you just leave? Well, because this asshole told me when I was 13 that I was special, and I don’t have any self-esteem, so I believe it.” And the fact was that he had hired her, when she had no prospects, right after she was rejected from art school.

This is a complex statement with nuance. What happened is an abuse of power. But the powerful person understood the talent and capability of the less powerful. The mentoring was good. The abuse was not.

I wonder how many talented programmers today are in the shoes of the victim, being taken advantage of by experienced founders and executives.

The parser has a somewhat unusual structure:

https://github.com/ShivamSarodia/ShivyC/blob/master/shivyc/p...

It's been a while since I've had to use the phrase "exception-oriented programming", but it fits that code well. While that might be a useful or even necessary pattern to parse something like C++ which can have almost unbounded ambiguities, AFAIK C can be parsed solely by branching on the next token in the stream except for one tiny case (typedefs).

> All programming is, is thinking logically & systematically about abstractions: everyone should be capable of thinking like a programmer — anyone who can't has a cognitive disability (like those poor folks who can't learn to read).

But not every aspect of web development is programming, any more than every aspect of book publishing is typesetting, or every aspect of film is camerawork. It's a lot more complex than it was when you could be a "web developer" with just Notepad++ (unfortunately.)

And we're not talking about "thinking like a programmer" in this case, but literal programming. Someone whose job it is to translate a Photoshop image or PDF into HTML and CSS can be capable of thinking in abstractions but still not need to write python or PHP or what have you.
I agree with the parent comment's sentiment. It makes no sense that this article and topic would be posted and discussed here.

It's not intellectually stimulating, it's not technology related, and it's no more notable than any of the dozen other sex scandals that have come out lately.

Paragraph two of the submission guidelines even specifically calls out this type of article as off-topic (emphasis added):

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
The real threat to Facebook is the Kool-Aid turning sour
If a plane crashes, the survival rate is pretty low. Most likely everyone on the plane is dead. People get into car accidents often enough to feel that crashing one's car rarely leads to death. Walter probably felt safe enough to use autopilot knowing that if the car crashed, he could still walk away from it.
Looking the other way because it's uncomfortable, or even just to protect "childhood memories".
I'm impressed that there is a process in place for this.

It's not that uncommon, at least to get as far as the bench.

The NHL mandates that each team have two fully-dressed-and-equipped goaltenders at the ready so that a replacement can be a drop-in with little time loss. (They don't even get to face warm-up shots or much warm-up time.) If there is an injury to either, a goalie is called up from their AHL (the top minor league, like AAA in baseball) or ECHL (AA) affiliates, but short notice or far travel can preclude that, making the occasional need for an emergency goalie.

Typically, an emergency goalie is a local college or club team goaltender (as available). They sign a 1-day NHLPA pro contract and (ideally) ride the bench all game.

The San Jose Sharks have used club goalies from San Jose State before (SJSU is only Div III in hockey).
Highway driving is supposed to be "easiest" problem for self driving cars to solve, since there are fewer edge cases, less turning, etc., but it's also the most dangerous type of driving. You are much more likely to die going at 65mph than 25mph.

I think deploying self driving cars at <=25mph speeds at first would be wise. Personally, I wouldn't risk letting a car take over at high speeds until there is a longer track record of safety.
1) A dedicated GPU in a laptop, specially a thin one like the X1 Carbon, is a bit of a nightmare. It consums a lot energy, it needs a lot of heat dissipation, and it can even reduce the life span and robustness of the laptop.

2) The X1 carbon is not targeted at video games/video editing. It's targeted at usages like programming or word/excel editing. For these use cases, integrated GPUs are more than good enough.

3) Dedicated GPUs tends also to be a little bit of a nightmare, specially around managing drivers. This is particularly true under Linux. On one hand you have Intel GPUs with open sourced drivers directly in the main line kernel. On the other you have the Nvidia drivers, which are proprietary, requires DKMS and can stop supporting older models, and the ATI version is about the same.

4) if you really need a dedicated GPU, the W serie is for you (and maybe some T serie laptop as well).
The main thing that changed was an explosion of cheap money to borrow, and high construction costs to pay with it.

It's precisely because you're not dead yet that you should act rightly according to the correctly chosen system.

I'm a biker. I can drive, but only ever drive rentals; motorcycles are my primary mode.

A sense of righteousness for being in the right on a bike will get you killed. You ride within the margin of not just your own error, but also those of other road users, and your own machine, with your best judgement and risk preference tradeoff.

If your machine has a known tendency to do something bad in some situation, you avoid that situation, even if you have someone else to blame. Blame doesn't keep you alive.
> I don't see why the driver of a car with any kind of semi-automated system should be held to a lesser standard.

Because the driver didn't receive any training from the manufacturer. Airplane pilots, in contrast, receive a ton of training right down to how to fly a specific type of aircraft(single-engine, twin-engine, instrument flying, etc.). Additionally the manufacturer will provide training to pilots on how to operate any nifty features of the commercial aircraft.

I don't believe Tesla provides any training whatsoever on how to use these features. And I'm not aware of any mechanisms preventing untrained users from activating these features. A tutorial that you can click through does not count because you do not ensure rapport with the trainee like you would in a person-to-person training.

Back when cars were being commoditized the dealer would often provide training to new drivers. And in all states new drivers are required to take a practical test to demonstrate that they are competent to drive. Does Tesla require their users to prove any sort of understanding or competence before they unlock Autopilot?

You might argue that requiring training sets a dangerous precedent, but users need to be made aware that the driver assistance systems are not foolproof, and the only foolproof way to do that is to require them to attend a training.

Eh, it's not THAT bad.
Back when I had T-mobile I had > 100 mbit/s LTE and worldwide (albeit slow outside of Canada or Mexico) data roaming for $50

I also still have 250 mbit/s internet with Comcast for $50 (slow upload though)

Keep in mind that the salary in silicon valley tends to be a lot higher, so those $50 are equivalent to $25 of what I had back in Germany.

That being said: It's true that the competition really doesn't seem to work all that great.
It's not completely horrible though. I'm happier than with what I had in Germany.
The ability to give an emergency recovery key to my loved ones in a sealed envelope, and to save a note in 1P for them to read should anything terrible ever happen; that note tells them where to find my bank details^ (1P), various PINs to unlock my devices (1P), logins to my not-web-based email and web servers (1P).

I keep everything in 1P. Why carry around a library/health/gym/etc. card when you need the number once a week? 1P. Credit cards. Colour copies of my passport & licence. Backups of SSH keys. Passwords to sparsebundle disk images containing sensitive files. Loyalty program numbers & PINs.

It does so much that Chrome doesn’t. The iOS apps are magnificent. Their sync service is magnificent. I couldn’t live without it.

Man, I feel close to what you feel. By the end of the week I'm so burned out.

I have 2 (at least) voices competing. One wants to experience life fully, and one that is eager to achieve results and wants to be "someone" and get somewhere. It can be a real struggle.

I feel like finding a way to let go of being "the best" (I also tend to study in the evenings), just being average me, is what can bring about real change, but it will take a lot of effort since it is deeply rooted in me.

It’s an aviation term, and it does exactly what an aviation autopilot does: assist the pilot.

They didn’t call it “self-driving” or “autonomous” because it isn’t those things.
That "hard part" is going to be more than just hard; I think the word you're looking for there is "impossible". They don't have any way of knowing what data Google, Facebook, Amazon, or any other company has. As this article does a credible job of explaining, you have to understand a fair amount about statistics (PCA) and machine learning to even know if if you were looking at it, and they won't know where to look for it. They have no enforcement mechanism in mind, and they passed a law anyway, which effectively means "you can't admit to having this", which will mean that the more willing a company is to lie, the bigger an advantage they will have over their competitors.
To be fair that's not really a reasonable train trip for people that want to actually get there as opposed to riding a train. Probably above 9 hours compared to a sub-2h flight. Train routes that are more meaningful tend to be better serviced.
Is there a reason to not license it under a dual license?

Have the source code open with a non commercial license and also distribute the binaries under a commercial license.

I’m not sure that it will have a significant impact on the revenue since most people would likely opt out and purchase the binary rather than building it on their own.

The concept of Facebook is awesome (social sharing, pictures, events, groups, etc) but the approach Zuckerberg and team have taken has ruined it (tracking and monetizing every little thing anyone does on the site or app).

How would we grab mindshare from a service that has 2 billion members?
