Here's a recent discussion by me and another user on yesterday's Tesla thread that sums up my problems with AP:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17232991

I get that Tesla's in a somewhat tough situation, having increased pressure to prove its manufacturing and sales are long-term viable. I don't agree that Tesla gets disproportionate negative media/attention (relative to the positive media that it gets), but I can see why Tesla would feel particularly harmed at this stage in development.

But since they've sold AutoPilot as a major defining feature, I think it's fair to raise it as an issue. Particularly on HN given the general interest here in AI/machine learning.
As someone in the healthcare space, those positions in healthcare are gatekept by degree issuing universities and government-issued licensure. This is for good reason: we wouldn't want a system where drugs can be dispensed by just anyone, we want some assurance that those who we give tightly regulated powers to are indeed qualified. Tech to me feels like much more of a nascent industry, there is much less of a guild system with its pay-your-tuition and do-your-internship type of requirements. Rather, software is much more of a free-for-all, winner takes all type of labor market. Also, software is not given the same visceral examination as prescribing of drugs or prosecution of crimes. So, while technical skill in those other fields is likely correlated with the degrees, in tech it may be that highly skilled individuals get roped into management positions or into work on high-value yet low-interest business projects.
Right, but 10 if you're inclusive.
Moore's law has slowed somewhat for CPUs, and Intel announced a few years ago that they were intentionally slowing down the pace of their releases.

"Intel stated in 2015 that the pace of advancement has slowed, starting at the 22 nm feature width around 2012, and continuing at 14 nm.[20] Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel, announced, 'Our cadence today is closer to two and a half years than two.'"

"Intel disclosed in a regulatory filing that it is slowing the pace with which it launches new chip-making technology."

Moore's law for GPUs, on the other hand, hasn't slowed down yet because it's not as close to the wall.

Maybe, maybe not. I’m very suspicious of things that are pitched as a panacea for everything.

The real world is a messy place where even with a good team, a good plan and sensible expectations you can fail spectacularly.

If there is one thing that I really like is aggressive validation of the assumptions that are being made + keeping the product as small and lean as humanly possible (and the latter should apply across the board to everything you do).

Complexity and Entropy are preparing the coffin for your work even before you have the idea. You can give ‘em a run for their money, but in most cases you’re going to end up 6 feet under. As soon as you accept this and are genuinely open to failure you will be ready for the opposite.
The harm of (captured-)regulated monopolies is real, but we ought to save this argument for important targets like the Daughters Bell. I offered an admittedly far-fetched example of a possible harm from regulating FB, in the hopes that you could come up with a more plausible one. No such luck!
Typically, the manufacturer's diagnostic tool can download data from the fast stop recorder. An accident investigator should be able to access it for you.
I think there was a shift lost in the metaphor. Most people don't care if they have hundreds of copies of distros scattered around their humongous disks, but they might care if all those distros are running and actively using RAM and CPU cycles.

In the same vein, I'm pretty sure that while all those cells contain a copy of DNA, they don't all execute the whole copy all the time.
If you wrote it down in a journal then you no longer have the right to claim 5th amendment privileges on what was written. Why would it be the case that what you put into your smart phone is more protected than what you write in a book?

It's 2018. There's almost zero reason to build an online store yourself if all that is being sold is stitching work. This sounds like a perfect use case for Shopify/Etsy/Big Cartel or any of the many sites that do this already.
Hmm, this is interesting to think about :)

As someone who has lived in NY, NJ, NC, FL, MA, NH over the past 20 years, and has evaluated job prospects and propety taxes and so on, I can assure you that we have quantitative and qualitative data that NYC, Long Island, Hoboken, Boston, and so on are quite crowded.

They are so crowded, in fact, that there is a material difference between a $60,000 salary in NYC vs New Hampshire. We're talking about $10,000 or so in terms of additional income taxes, property taxes, rent, so on.

The only people who stay in NY and NJ are staying because they have kids in school, an irreplaceable job, or maybe they just don't care.

But the data shows that people are leaving for less dense areas.

The reason I baked dumb-init into the image was in order to offer better dev UX (since I'm assuming some/lots/most folks out there will just `docker run` without much context on what's going on). I actually like specifying with the init switch better, but it opens up new devs to a world of hurt
There are many things I find frustrating about BitBucket Server (it’s super slow, for one, it’s insistence on clobbering commit strings during merges is the biggest), but I’ve never wanted a commit compare view; I don’t even know what that is.

Care to explain what you would use it for?
How many years have we been hearing this tale? And yet almost every major web site continues to bend over backwards to persuade us to install their battery-killing surveillance system oops I mean mobile app.

So the solution now is even more battery-killing HTML + Javascript + Secret Sauce? Hell no...

PS Just say no to push like the Hulk says no to Banner.

All IMO of course but these days, I use my phone for Yelp, Google Maps, weather, GMail, stock prices, and little more. The improvement in battery life from 6-8 hours to 2+ days has been astounding and what it's drove me to the viewpoint I just espoused. Am I missing something here?
I understand the nature of the problem. Its everywhere ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17237792 ) I just think lived reality is more complex than a moralizing ideology. Something you understand: quote

"Open Source" (as if it's a single movement) didn't win in creating desirable, accessible, commercial or beautiful software.
It 'won' in the worst possible way - big companies like Amazon and Facebook took the work, hid it in their datacenters behind their paywalls, and use it to extract money from people.

Nobody has any more freedom with their data and their computing because Facebook uses PHP, than they would have on a proprietary desktop OS.

"you can have an open source OS and browser which connects you to a restrictive interface where your data is under someone else's control" is a lose for all of us.
But as a bonus, they're not likely to be so "proactive" about handing over your vehicle data or findings to the media to help manage their publicity process, either...

What are the thing that is intresting ( as per your opinion, if you are willing to share? )? I mean not everybody will get the job they like and it will be the boring thing to do ( but, still we have to do this boring job! ). But, life shouldn't be boring and it should be beautiful and enjoying.
For some Marxist readings on the alternative, I recommend Marx's own Critique of the Gotha Program and Cockshott and Cotrill's Towards a New Socialism, which seeks to develop a basis for a post-capitalism society with a cybernetically planned economy and direct democracy.
I believe that Github could've done their own IPO at some point. They could've "made it" as an independent company, in that respect, without profits...
I do find these articles frustrating. They continue to rave about ARM (or Qualcomm) improvements, while casually mentioning that they're at least 2 years behind Apple. Being 2-3 years behind Apple should be front and centre of the article. It's a big deal! Unfortunately, as an Android user, I don't have a choice, and I suspect my next phone will have an SD845.

You didn't see that kind of leniency when AMD was releasing slow/inefficient CPUs pre Zen.
That's a fantastic point: I'll add that as a gotcha
In my case I didn't want to manage people. I was looking for some technical roles like architect. I like talking about programming. What I don't like is just hanging out after work, and spending hours on boring chat, and that's how you get promotions in the companies I worked for. Including the technical positions. So as a result the architects and all technical stuff was made of extroverts who new quite little about the technical work. After some time it turned out that they knew quite little about any work. This is not the biggest problem. The biggest one was that they didn't seem to want to learn anything. Normal programmers were getting more and more unhappy, but the higher management was extremely happy watching how the managers can sell themselves.

And now an anecdote: a super-high-boss asked once "how much time would you need for that"... we, normal programmers, answered that about 12 to 14 months. Two days later he came back and said happily "I have sold it to the HQ, they agreed to give us the project, I told them that in 6 months it will be ready". We felt betrayed, powerless and sad... the management was extremely happy. Just guess who was told to spend weekends at work to save the managers' bonuses. The project was not delivered in that time, but I think it's quite obvious.

It looked liked this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mokllJ_Sz_g.

So my conclusion, based on my experience, is: introverts are seldom promoted, the biggest chance of promotion has a stupid mediocre person who walks after the boss replying how super he is.

This is of course just my observation. I hope I was just unlucky.

As for now, I just don't care about my promotion, I want to make interesting things, and get paid enough on time.

Isn't that only true for the default "release" profile? AFAIK you have to turn LTO on, if you want to get the most performance out of it (LTO isn't on in any profile by default), but it's also been some time since I last optimized to that extent.
While the documentation could use some work, Looper[0][1] has been working very well for us. There's not an obscene amount of wasted space, the fonts are legible, and it does a good job of adding useful features to Bootstrap without going overboard.

> Why don't they declare an emergency on the actual problem, chronic shortages of housing supply, and reform their zoning and tax/rent entitlements to fix it?

Because a large segment of the population doesn't see it as a problem. Your "chronic housing shortage" is their winning lottery ticket.

People who bought California property in the 70's, 80's, and 90's have a number of options, thanks to the chronic housing shortage. They can: fund a retirement in Arizona by selling the house outright (even with no other retirement savings); rent to newcomers for many times the house's mortgage payment (living quite comfortably off the difference); or simply take out a home equity loan to use the house as an ATM.

Their children and grandchildren can inherit the tax basis for the property, too, so you're actually fighting two or three generations. Would you really vote for zoning & tax reform if it mean that you could no longer enjoy a passive, inherited income capable of fully supporting your family?
As someone that does this every day across all industries and project types, I agree 100%, but proper/effective planning is not a panacea for project success.

Identifying and managing Risk is as equally as important. As is Interface (the people to people / team kind) management and correct Quality Assurance.

On top of all of that you need good Project Governance to handle change properly, with clear limits and bounds for changing durations of activities, budgets, scope and acceptable quality, defining responsibility and accountability, delegating authority, setting regular reporting requirements and cadence.

Managing (non-trivial) Projects well is difficult, it takes hard work and careful thought. That is why we struggle. We revert to System 1 for all aspects of project management, not just planning.
Welcome to the next stage of the economy - now that we've created products for almost all daily needs, it's time to turn them into services. sigh.

I'm with you and 'adrianN on this. I hate this direction and wish we could turn it back somewhat, or at least cover for the negative aspects of servicization of products. Regulation might be a necessary tool for that.
I have no problem with targeting an audience. Afterall, Cosmopolitan attracts a different audience than Guns n Ammo.

It's the individual targeting that has such high costs (in resources and privacy) for an apparently small increment in effectiveness.
The problem is that it is Samsung so I'm assuming they put a bunch of their custom shit software on it.
Although they were big, bulky, laptops I really liked the Satellites. They had pretty good spec to price ratios. I still have a 7 or 8 year old one that is running fine with linux. I have it hooked up to my TV. That laptop helped a broke college graduate start his career. A part of me is very sad to see them go.
I have the small Asus Flip Chromebook which I like but not as a tablet. When I travel with it I bring a tablet or Kindle along as well.
Agreed, I wasn't prepared for all the negative comments in this thread. I was a happy user of the Z830 for a long time, until it got stolen.

Of course, I did spend a couple hours after the first installation to uninstall bloatware, and upgrading the BIOS, and after a while I installed more RAM… but after that it was a good ultrabook which even had a physical Ethernet port!

I also liked the fact that it was 1.4 kg IIRC, and with a battery that lasted all day so I didn't have to bring my charger on the go.

If they don't release the data, and other automakers don't release the data, it's industry standard behavior. The onus is on you, the consumer, to ask for regulation to fix the behavior if you want it fixed; not complain specifically about Tesla's behavior.
You could be right; it's totally possible that in 20-30 years telling someone they have [antibiotic resistant] strep is the same death sentence as telling them they have cancer.

> How do you estimate how much time a task will take when it's a novel idea

In my experience, they just pretend it doesn't exist and remove it from the "plan". Where I see this the most is in figuring out how things work. For some reason, non-programmers have it in their head that once you've finished college, you ought to know (even though they don't) how everything that goes on a computer works instantaneously. We're going to use Apache Kafka! Ok, need to spend some time figuring out how that works. Um, ok, that should take like an hour, right? Because there's no time in the budget to learn anything. If you push back, they say, "ok, never use anything new that you have to learn. Only use the things you already know". That doesn't work either, because the things that we have to integrate with don't work with the old things. Or, "you don't need to know how that works, Bob knows how that works, just ask him. But don't let it take any time, because there's no time in the plan for that" And Bob is sick of all your questions that you'd know the answer to if you'd just spent a two or three days reading the online documentation and installing a test system and testing it out.
I mean, the author is decentralizing the basic download and cloning of git. The protocol lets us do that.

Git by itself doesn't have issue tracking, wikis, etc. Those are part of Github/lab/bucket.

Should the git project seek to add this as part of the repo and protocol itself? Or should we be making new protocols and repositories for this meta-project/code data?

I haven't tried Fossil yet, but I understand it has a lot of this stuff built into its protocol/repository format.
Why bother estimating? you have the checkboxes, now just get to work. If the pace of checking those boxes is slow then you can start cutting things out. Estimates are for managers, much better to just ship it already.
I remember reading about IBM Power chips running at 5GHz years ago (maybe it was https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/07/01/04/1824223/ibms-ne... ).

Presumably they were too expensive (manufacturing, power, cooling, etc.) since they're not ubiquitous. IIRC the "barrier" to going any higher was the speed of light across the chip: running faster than 5GHz would require the output to be causally independent from the input!
If they did work, would you ever expect to see them declassified and listed here?

Be clear what you mean by voluntary.

I agree that preventing a person to choose to sell something they own is a restriction on their freedom. But problems arise when the negotiation of that exchange is unilateral, relegated to EULAs and contracts which are incomprehensible, non-negotiable, and mandatory to purchase the product, and performed in a less-than-perfectly-efficient market.

It would be one thing if I could buy a Tesla, a Nest, or log onto a site with ads, and the process included a step where I could elect to share my data, to not share my data, or to give them the data and promise not to ask for it back, with different price points for each.

It's another thing when giving people the freedom to give up certain rights results in all manufacturers requiring people to exercise that freedom in order to purchase products.

The market is far from efficient. There is no car that's just like a Tesla but costs more by the value of this data exchange. There is no negotiation of the contract with Tesla, it's built into the purchase price and required by the legal department.

Observing that the market is pervasively inefficient in a way that leads to a bad outcome, and devising regulations that correct the inefficiency, is precisely why we have laws and governments.

So you haven't been getting the Candy Crush Saga, One Office trial, et al. games/software installed to the top of your "Start Menu" after every major OS update? It's only 2 clicks per app. And I'm sure it's part of why the last big update took 2 hours to finish (with only a warning, this may take a while... good thing my deadline was the next day and not in 2 hours... still ended up being a very long night, since the update broke other things). Also this last major update (Content Creator?) bricked a bunch of PCs... I had to do a "system reset" with USB stick to get things moving again.. but I'm still getting BSOD about once a week since then.

What about them mucking up the Spectre/Meltdown patches which bricked a bunch of PCs? In my case I wasn't bricked but I had to rollback a patch.

What about re-enabling of disabled services (e.g. Firewall, Defender) after some updates?

Going back a couple years ago, what about downloading/pre-loading Windows 10 on Windows 7/8 computers, without the user asking first? Can we forgive them for that? It used up several GB of space and burned sometimes expensive bandwidth? Happened to my laptop while I was traveling, I only noticed after I started getting low disk space warnings.

If I had a real list of the all the actual problems I've ever encountered with Windows, Windows 10 is definitely approaching Windows ME levels of incompetence.

Maybe some of us are just having more issues because we have unique hardware configurations which don't play well with Microsoft's newest foray into OS experimentation. Or perhaps our expectations are too high?
But it's absolutely not difficult or time-consuming to do this yourself. Just buy a plastic container and a bunch of candy bars.
