> Is it crazy to hold a driver to a higher standard than simply Googling "Tesla autopilot" and only reading the first paragraph of the first result?

For this standard it would have to apply to every driver. Should drivers who do not google "Tesla autopilot", let alone ones that do and read on in a section about said autopilot feature, be punished with death in a two ton metal trap?

My point though is, you can call Facebook an advertising company, but when asked "What are Facebook's competitors?" as the Senator did, it makes sense to list social networks because that's the core product they offer their users. For the purpose of this discussion it doesn't help to say Facebook is an ad company or "You are the product" or anything else.

The training function is independant on autopilot being active on the car. The training happens during any drive, if the Tesla owner did opt into sharing the driving data. Actually it even happens on cars which don't have autopilot, as all Tesla cars are manufactured with the hardware. You buy the autopilot function just as a software feature.

And in the car menu, "autopilot" is actually called "autosteering" as a feature to activate. And overall it is just a very fancy cruise control, which is able to keep the proper distance to cars in front of you and keep inside your lane.

The tools for working with WASM are here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt

The compiler/converters are here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen

Maybe someone who knows more could help me understand better.
It looks the toolchain "stack" is some-lang through LLVM to a special WASM LLVM backend which then is converted to WASM - which is similar to the LLVM-IR.. but more crossplatform-y.. I think? (can someone confirm?). So I guess going forwards WASM is the new crossplatform bytecode and not necessarily tied to the web - right? I don't really get if WASM has memory-managment / garbage-collection by default or it's something optional available to things like Javascript? Or the GC is written in WASM itself...?

With LLVM-IR/WASM/SPIR-V it's kinda a shame we have all these standards doing very very similar things - but I kinda get the rational there

> I thought I had a link here somewhere, but can't find it; I have a strong suspicion that the companies have a preference to repackage or reformulate existing drugs, and that basic research on new drugs is disproportionately covered by the public purse and charity.

Absolutely there are companies which do this, and there are some very interesting examples of somewhat shady practices, but the vast majority of companies which you think of as 'pharma' --i.e. big pharma, and the big biotechs-- survive by discovering or insourcing and then developing new drugs, and/or developing their existing drugs in new indications.
What is "smartly comparing lists"? To describe further (as I'm an ex-Spotify employee I have some outdated insight into how it works):

Spotify has historically used machine learning to tweak a predictive engine that can convert a track or artist into an N-dimensional value and then use the distance to other tracks/artists in this N-dimensional space.

Is that AI? Maybe. How does the brain work? Maybe when you see a dog it's converted into an N-dimensional space where cats are pretty close, at least much closer than turtles. So if that is human intelligence, is Spotify's recommendation engine not artificial intelligence?
What makes this a non-starter is that normal linux applications are not written to be pre-emptable. Hence a default port of a linux system to a phone will kill the battery.

Hence the need for a from scratch effort where the SDK incorporates preemptability as a policy, and applications work off of that. Sadly, this means you cannot use the existing vast application ecosystem.

Librem is an effort in the above direction. It also seems like Fuschia is going this way.
it's probably not size but rather the "hotness" of the city, i.e. afaik Rome is the biggest city in Italy by far (maybe the biggest in EU as far as actual size is concerned) but cost of living is quite low compared to other EU capitals and even other cities in IT, Milan i.e.
I understand my code - the language doesn't dictate the understandability of the code that is written. Any language can be used to write indecipherable bad code. You are blaming the wrong thing. C++ seems to be very widely used to write some amazing things, despite your apparent hatred of it?
I don't know too much about the tech, but live sport has been encrypted for several years now.

Here's an anecdote about one sport in particular - UK horse racing. There's a pay TV channel (Racing UK) that broadcasts races live. They would bring their broadcasting equipment to each track, and upload the live raw video over a satellite link. This stream was then downloaded at their head office, where it was mixed and graphics were added, before it was re-uploaded to (another? the same?) satellite as the 'official' TV channel.

With the right equipment, you could view the raw video feeds yourself, rather than watch the re-transmitted official channel. This gave just over a second or so of improved latency, which, for some serious in-running gamblers, was a crucial advantage. But about five years ago, Racing UK started encrypting their live feeds. Nowadays, only a few people with insider information can obtain the 'faster' video...
I don't think it's a problem specific to Tesla; the main difference is that Tesla's system instills a lot more confidence in drivers than tools like lane assist and adaptive cruise control (source: I have those; I don't trust them). It's a marketing and user experience problem; marketing because Tesla still insists on calling it autopilot, and user experience because it works pretty good most of the time - in normal conditions. It fails when there's a truck crossing the road or when it's confused by roadworks. The lane assist in my car also gets confused at roadworks, but it's much more likely to turn off and will start yelling at me with annoying tones within seconds of not detecting any steering input.

Tesla can easily fix this - disable autopilot if the user does not have his hands on the wheel. Disable autopilot at construction zones. Disable autopilot sooner when confidence level is lowered.
Quite strange for me, in Europe it's the other way around. Biotech engineers earn about double of any other type of engineer, software, mechanical or otherwise.

And what everyone else already said: raising prices will almost never result in the engineers getting more money.

The price difference is so staggering that it'll just be cheaper to buy a plane ticket to the countries where the cheap one is available and take it there; especially since some countries (Egypt for instance) don't necessarily require a doctor's prescription to allow you to buy some medication from the pharmacy.
Regarding mediocre: https://lwn.net/Articles/641779/

The take-away from the post (and vid, linked at bottom) is that most people should be mediocre. It's not a bad thing. Take pride in having reached that far.

As for the selling issue; you're aware of it, so that's obviously a good thing. Next is to put together some kind of promo that you can live with. A portfolio site, some blogging about what you've learned etc.

Sure you'll get decent opportunities if you keep skilling up and making folks aware of your current abilities.

Regarding non-hub city: remote work an option? Biggest local companies?

EDIT: Just saw you've seen the post linked to above already. And you're probably more experienced than I'd understood from your comment. I'm tempted to say you might only be bad at selling yourself because you self-deprecate too much. But that's another assumption!
Show HN: Farsig.ht – predict the Hearthstone meta, win prizes
Hi everyone, my brother and I are fans of Hearthstone, the most popular digital card game (over 70M registered players). It's releasing a new expansion of cards today called The Witchwood.

For anyone who plays, we've launched Farsig.ht (https://farsig.ht), a free competition to predict the meta and win prizes.

My brother and I love card reveal season and how the community makes predictions. We thought it’d be fun to track these predictions, compare casual vs. pro picks, and offer prizes to the best predictors.

The prize pool includes hundreds of dollars in packs, free pro lessons, and $1,000 to anyone with a perfect score. :)

To play, visit https://farsig.ht and authenticate with your Battle.net ID. We can’t access your password, we are not affiliated with Blizzard, and no purchase is necessary.

You can then rate each Witchwood card on a scale from 1 to 5 stars.

Stars measure how much you think the card will be in decks during the Witchwood meta. 5 stars means you think it will be in the top 20% of frequency in decks across all Standard cards. 1 star means the bottom 20%. Examples of Kobolds & Catacombs cards at each star level are here.

You can enter your prediction until Sunday, April 15th, 11:59pm Pacific Time.

If you don't want to rate each card from scratch, you can seed your prediction with the estimated ratings of pros like Trump, Zalae, and Stonekeep, then edit as you like.

The website has more details about scoring and prizes. We'd love any feedback. For any Hearthstone players, we hope you enjoy it!

Best,

> Mostly because videogame plot lines aren't as good as we give them credit for.

I wouldn't agree with that. Sure, AAA-level blockbuster video games have simplistic, unoriginal and derivative stories and that's what most gamers play unfortunately, but there well-written games are definitely out there.

Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 were both better written than any Star Wars movie by a long stretch.

Planescape: Torment is probably the best written game I've ever played, and playing it almost feels like you're reading a novel at times because the world-building and especially the dialogue is so fleshed-out and thoughtful. This game takes a huge dump over the writing in most movies I've seen.

I mean, that's just two examples. I'm a huge sucker for games with a great story regardless of the genre, but genre is a limiting factor in well-written stories.

You generally don't get much of a story in an RTS for example. You are most certainly never going to get a good story from a beat-em up like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.
The big difference is that we understand chips: We know what kind of elements does an integrated circuit need (gates, registers) and we understand how each of the low- and high-level and elements work. Reverse engineering in this case is puzzle reconstruction with very strong priors. On the other hand, we are truly clueless for brains: we do not know how "algorithms" are run in brains, if there are any simple computing units, how memory is stored ... All what we have are some guesses and statistics.

I am currently on a team maintaining a giant codebase and migrating to C++11 (and beyond) for a new compiler. We do not have issues with the deprecation of auto_ptr, the use of raw pointers or general debugging COM problems. The code base is 20 years old and we do not complain to debug it.

Debugging pointers seems a poor reason to criticize an entire language!

C++ may be complicated but the English language is also complicated; just because people tend to use a smaller vocabulary than others doesn't make the language irrelevant or worthless.

Looking at how English has been used to create a raft of rich and diverse poetry, plays, prose and literature in general, the same should be applied to C++ because the unique use of it in a variety of varying circumstances surely is its beauty.
The culture doesn't exist in JavaScript land because historically it has been difficult to do. The tooling sucked. It is getting vastly better, but sadly, it will take effort to get back into the practice.

I hope that more people building the learning courses will focus on that. If I had time, I'd do one myself, as I now heavily test all my React stuff. I refuse to build another webapp without proper automated unit testing. It catches so much stuff.
People are becoming more and more educated over the world, not just because of population increase, but also because the world in general is becoming more prosperous. [1] It therefore makes sense for universities (like all other levels of education) to expand to meet the increased demand. More education can be argued for from a capitalist perspective, a communist perspective, a humanist perspective, etc.

(edit: added missing word)
Most comments here just seem to generally crap on all video game movies to date (correct) and surmise that it's a losing concept (wrong).

Movies afraid to deviate away from source material I don't think applies to the problem. I've probably seen most video game movies (even the cringe-worthy Uwe Boll ones) and I'd say the overwhelming problem is no one on set even bothering to look at the source material, or understanding what they're trying to do.

Someone mentioned Edge of Tomorrow, which never was a game. It was based on a very light-sci-fi japanese novel, in turn inspired by a player's forum account of restarting a game over and over in order to incrementally learn enough to finish it.

But it doesn't really matter whether Edge of Tomorrow was or was not based on a video game. The fact that it works as a movie and you can think about it in terms of a video game proves that there's no issue with making a video game movie.

The problem with Hollywood sometimes or often putting out crap is a Hollywood problem, not a medium or genre problem.

Think of a movie you thought had all potential to be good, but turned out bad, and then google the backstory on its production. I'll put $10 on saying that it most likely suffered from "too many chefs"/creation by committee, and focus-grouping it to death, instead of trusting the vision of the creator(s), whether that be screenwriter, director or other.

This is obviously subjective, but why is the best Marvel movies Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, Deadpool and Logan?

For example, James Mangold did both The Wolverine and Logan, what changed between them?
Absolutely. Better written than any of the movies.

All of the applications you listed have had 64-bit versions for years. Several have been 64-bit only for a long time, eg. Adobe Premiere dropped 32-bit support in 2012. (Distiller and LINPACK have equivalents built in to the operating system.) You'll have to try harder to find a reason to be upset about this deprecation.

I'm absolutely not defending the high price of Solvadi, but that article is naive in the extreme, as the low figure given would (obviously) fail to:
1) Amortize the costs (~$1.1Bn) incurred in the development of the drug in question
2) Amortize the costs of the manufacturer's other development failures
Yes, exactly. All selection policies (hiring, admissions, contracting, etc.) that say that choosing the best needs to result in proportional representation or it is cheating (not really choosing the best but choosing the "privileged") are based on the ridiculous assumption that all groups have the same mean "goodness" despite variation in "goodness" among individuals.

Many of these policies become laws with significant punishment specified for violators.

In fact, if there is individual variation, and the groups are clustered based on something more significant than random partition, such as genetic similarity, the groups themselves are frequently going to exhibit differing statistical tendencies in any heritable characteristic because of that genetic similarity.

Whether these statistical tendencies differ or not is an empirical question, not a question of political preferences.

For law, and coercive power of punishment, to be based on reality rather than political favoritism, the question of whether the group differences are real or not matters. If the group differences are real, punishing people for making choices (again, hiring, admissions, etc.) based on reality instead of on political theory is the real injustice.

So the actual, measured average IQ differences between groups matters if you are going to use any assumption about it as a basis for policy decisions.

> Can one not understand something about how cultures work without knowing how brains work? Can one not know something about how an ape behaves without understanding their gut-biome?

Absolutely this. An explanation of evolution in terms of atomic interactions would lack some of the explanatory and predictive power we gain at the higher levels between bio-chemistry and phenotype. I think part of good science (and FWIW software design) is choosing the correct abstraction level, the one with the best predictive, descriptive and explanatory power. Sometimes these will be different abstractions or models that have different affordances.

In the case of the OP I think it's easy to underestimate how hard it is to generate a bottom up explanation of a processor given that we already have such an explanation from its status as engineered artefact. The answer is simple if you know the answer.

The C11 standard is clear here on syntax for a static initializer.

Read section 6.7.9, constraint 4:

All the expressions in an initializer for an object that
has static or thread storage duration shall be constant
expressions or string literals.

It's syntax, not initialization.

And that makes sense. However the memory is initialized before runtime could be via memcpy() it could be loaded as part of the executable and then mapped dynamically at runtime. That's what 5.1.2 is saying.

What 6.7.9 constraint 4 is saying, is that static variables can only be constant expressions.
