That's an interesting point that I think might hew close to the truth.

I'm amazed at the amount of complexity that people seem try and heap on top of React. It's like they have seen the core simplicity and are desperate to complexity it to make it feel like they are dealing with something weighty and significant.

Simple things can be brilliant, React is a simple thing. A simple idea with a simple to use implementation. It's clever. It's good. There is no need to make it complex.
> level II is probably the most dangerous automation

I'll go further and say that level II is worse than useless. It's "autonomy theatre" to borrow a phrase from the security world. It gives the appearance that the car is safely driving itself when in fact it is not, but this isn't evident until you crash.
Cruise control is great where there's long stretches of open road, light traffic (LOS A or B [1]), and little need for frequent braking.

The star usecase is to set cruise to be very near the speed limit, such that after acceleration events like overtaking, you coast back to highway speed.

It's a low-effort way of ensuring that one will be compliant with speed laws most of the time, yet maintaining a steady pace. I too prefer to be 'actively engaged' while driving, but in my opinion the reduction of constant acceleration input is a welcome convenience.

'Adaptive' cruise control, on the other hand, feels to me like riding on a tenuous rollercoaster. It's intended to let cruise control be usable in packed traffic, but it requires one to cede a lot of trust and control to the machine in ways that physically make me uneasy -- and it doesn't help that the exact behavior differs between models and manufacturers, so that trust doesn't automatically transplant into a different car.

Part of the problem is, again, with terminology. Ever since Adaptive Cruise Control proliferated as a term, it drew a parallel to classic 'Cruise Control', which I think is a mistake. Classic Cruise Control is a fire-and-forget, non-safety feature that's simple to reason about: do I want the car to gun it at a constant 70 mph, or no? You can run a quick mental judgement call and decide whether to engage it or leave it off.

'Adaptive' cruise control fundamentally about maintaining following distance, i.e. tailgating restriction. It's a safety feature. It's a button to "proceed forward not exceeding target speed", but if it gets disengaged for any reason then you can easily overrun into the car ahead. It's a safety feature with the UI/UX of a non-safety feature, so it's always opt-in (!) -- which is simply horrific.

All safety features in vehicles should be either always-on, or opt-out, and NEVER opt-in. On a modern car, tailgate restriction should be on by default, with a button unlocking the car into free-throttle mode. Braking -- alone -- should never disable a safety feature.

> the Wikipedia of programming questions

That's a pretty good way of putting it. But... wasn't that what it was always about? The original article says:

> So we decided to optimize everything to be useful for the thousands, not the individual. We literally have 1000 visitors for every person who asks a question. That’s why we sort the answers by votes. It’s also why we optimize for questions and answers that will be helpful to other people, later.

StackOverflow isn't optimized for the people asking questions, it's optimized for the thousands of people arriving at the question later from Google.
Here in D.C. Google maps will regularly get confused about whether you're on the main road or a ramp; whether you're on an overhead highway or the street underneath it, whether you're on a main road or the access road next to it.
I disagree. It’s not as though level II is a hard and fast definition - Tesla wants level 4 and claims the cars possess the hardware for that already. So you’d think their level II would still be smart enough to detect these problems to some degree. It’s not a fixed system but one they keep upgrading. I would expect this nominally level II system to have more smarts than a system that is designed never to exceed level II.
So I entirely believed this advice, completely and absolutely. And then I started my current project.

I'm working on a thing now which no one believes is possible in the AI space (and to be honest I didn't either).

So I built a tech demo which proved to myself that it really does work.

Now I do the "I'm doing XXXX", get the cynical "yeah right" look, but the idea is interesting enough that people are prepared to see the 30 second demo.

The demo is pretty cool.

After the demo I've had people ask if they can invest, without me asking, and I think every person I've demoed to thinks they would either buy it or know someone who would.

So I'd caution that not all advice is correct in every situation.

Hi, I'd like to chime in.
I'm Avishay, I'm a secular Jew from Israel. I'd like to say it's not an infatuation with our genetic material. Far from it. (enter an obligatory nose joke here)

It's being impressed our ancestors have been holding on to a religious and cultural identity for two thousand years. Years in which they were were a minority in different countries, spoke in foreign tongues, were forced to denounce their Judaism, and sometimes were haunted without even that choice.

It's that as a modern Hebrew speaker, I can pretty easily read a piece of text as the Bible - written thousands of years ago.
And that even though my ancestors were from Syria, Iraq, and Morroco - they shared the same ethos as the jews from Hungary, Germany, and Russia.

Although, being a Viking is also very cool.
I give credit that each section actually calls out a "Core Metric". I'd wager that most organizations get through "Focusing" and "Delivering" only to fall apart at "Optimizing".

They call out exactly why the "Optimizing" step fails, "One of the biggest challenges in enabling Optimizing fluency is giving the team true control over its product direction. The distinction between an Optimizing team and a Delivering team is that, within the constraints of its charter, the Optimizing team makes its own decisions about what to fund and where to focus their efforts. Managers need to delegate this power to teams, which is often a difficult change for organizations."

A CEO, VP, or high level employee in a product management capacity will not want to give up this control. After all, from their perspective they're in their position because they've steered the product to it's current success. Yet, there's never an actual track record, metrics, or decision record to determine how well these "decision making" individuals have actually performed in steering the product. And attempting to implement any sort of framework to track successes and failures at this level will be met with extreme prejudice. After all, nobody wants to find out that they're actually bad at a $200,000

[2] isn't an example of "subjective editorial decisions"; your question was off-topic because 'recommendation' questions are prohibited. For that tho, there's a Stack Exchange sister site:

- [Software Recommendations Stack Exchange](https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/)

I don't like that 'decision', i.e. to not allow recommendations, but I understand the reasoning behind it, that recommendation questions are basically polls. [But isn't everything on which people can vote basically a poll too? Obviously yes in my opinion.]
I recently reviewed a computational materials science paper and was quite impressed by the fact that they included some data and a Jupyter notebook. Long term, ecosystem will be an issue, but in the short term, it's invaluable. It does make it easier to check for obvious errors.

Can't speak for Azure as I don't use it, but I really have to call bullshit on AWS UI being better than GCP.

Imagine any single change in your system configuration (packages, configuration, startup scripts, whatever) is loaded into a source version control as you move forward.

If something fails, you can always rollback to a previous revision, and since everything is there, you know your whole system will be working.

If you want to reproduce your system, you can copy the whole content and "checkout" the relevant revision on the new system. Because the hash is the same, every single bit underneath will be the same.
That's probably right or very close to what is happening, but what I cannot understand: what about damn black-and-yellow barrier board right in front of the car closing in at the speed of 60mph? Some sensor should have picked up on that.

It's the second meaning of democratize, meaning "to make something accessible to everyone", that I intended, but I suppose Raft also has commoditized the technology, since there are now off-the-shelf libraries you can pick and choose from somewhat interchangeably.

I think both vary widely depending on how they are cooked and dressed. It's interesting to contrast different restaurant's approaches.

Beyond seems a bit more "diner" to me and best when treated a bit "greasier". The best I've had was a "dirty" burger that was a messy vegan play on a Big Mac of sorts (at Against the Grain, a brewery and smokehouse).

Impossible seems a bit more "steak" to me, and best when treated a bit "medium rare". The best I've had was a Southwest burger at Morel's (a "witchcraft" vegan place best known for their Farby's "roast beef" sandwich). Morel's mainstay on their menu though is a "steakburger" with A-1 and fried onions that very easily plays to Impossible's strengths.

The big Youtuber that rebuilds salvage Teslas made the point that almost every Tesla owning Youtuber has a video showing their car getting hauled away on a tow-truck. One of the possible reasons that Tesla service dept. doesn't provide maintenance history on salvage cars is because the amount of service would reflect poorly. It doesn't seem uncommon for a model S with 80,000 miles to have several door handle replacements, at least one whole drive unit replacement, battery contactor replacement, an infotainment system replacement, in addition to all the recall/redesigned components that are replaced before failure. I still think Tesla's are quite nice, but a bullet-proof Honda they are not.

"This is Mark Zuckerberg either lying or not knowing anything about current issues on Facebook."

This sums up my general reaction that has been built up over time with how things have been handled. I'm sure that Zuckerberg is playing the PR route sometimes, but more often than not, my suspicion is that it's more about incompetence and cringe-worthy cluelessness than anything else.

The Facebook offices I've seen are filled with posters and messages that are more inclusive and respectful across different cultures and minorities. While there, it felt like I was looking at my own Facebook news feed. But compare that with other family member's feeds and their world is vastly different. Filled with fear about minorities, making false claims about history, countries, events, and medicine, and blatant lies that are obviously aimed at aggregating power to a select few. When the idea of fake news and Russian interference surfaced, the general reaction from Zuckerberg came across "lol - wat? That's not even a thing." There's been enough data points since then that shows his incompetence, be it deliberately lying or being completely clueless. For me, I've hit a point where trust is broken. Not just with leadership, but with the platform in general.

A response to the Cell article from the team from the article that did not find neurogenesis.

"""
In an email statement, that group, which works out of developmental neuroscientist Arturo Alvarez-Buylla’s lab, said that while they found the new study’s evidence of declining blood vessel growth in the adult hippocampus interesting, they are not convinced that Boldrini and her colleagues found conclusive evidence of adult neurogenesis.

"Based on the representative images they present, the cells they call new neurons in the adult hippocampus are very different in shape and appearance from what would be considered a young neuron in other species, or what we have observed in humans in young children," they wrote.
"""

Much more at the original article. TL;DR: They think this probably doesn't meaningfully change things from their own findings.
