He said “full self driving features”, not “full self driving”. With the word “features” he refers to components of a system that will offer self driving, but not the whole system yet. These features could be better self parking, or traffic sign recognition, or the long talked about feature of changing between freeways autonomous.

If that is true, then is the growing consensus that older cognitive economy workers in developed economies are increasingly disadvantaged in the job market a signal that "developed" economies are regressing, or the conjecture needs reformulation to account for other factors? I suspect the latter.
Pretty much. I grew up in rural IL, good luck with your e-bikes.

Well, that’s not what the article says:

“Musk reiterated his dislike of LIDAR and defended Tesla’s strategy of achieving “full autonomy” using only cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors.”
And even into the early 2000s, Palm and other handhelds had Freescale Dragonball processors inside, and that was based off of the 68000 core which was licensed from Motorola.
I think a sole proprietorship with no employees run by a 6 year old should have a degree of latitude. There's no situation I can imagine where a C-corporation or organization with employees would be off the hook, no matter how old their mascot is.
Is about discrimination, say if you have 2 employees A and B, you have to fire one of them, if you use criteria like who is more sexy,or race, or political views,religion or family relation then you are not fair and workers had to pay with their life in the past to have fair working conditions and some other groups again had to made sacrifices to have equal rights.

In this case maybe Intel is not guilty and the age issue is a correlation with the salary.

No, this is terrible practice. The correct solution is to verify that the interface name is well formed. Use a whitelist, not a blacklist. And, for good measure, use a real path manipulation library if available.
The irony of it being posted on medium.
I mean sure. But I also need to parse UUID. And do other things with it. Even if I didn't need to, I'd still likely use the uuid-1345 crate for it.

Here's the thing: If I import this code in my codebase directly instead of using a library, it suddenly becomes my "responsibility" if it breaks. And when we're talking about a FOSS side-project, I don't have that kind of time. Third-party libraries means I get any improvements and bug-fixes for free. And if it breaks, I get to talk with the original maintainer to figure it out, and we're suddenly two people, with one hopefully knowledgable enough on the topic, working on the problem.

Importing this kind of thing in make codebase makes it an ugly unwieldy mess that will inevitably break, and I suddenly will be alone trying to figure out what I did wrong. This is what's good about npm and libraries: the community that's built around it.
At this point, nobody really cares what Tesla (or specifically, Musk) thinks about the virtues of cameras vs LIDAR.

Autopilot's can't even sense stationary objects in front of the car. The most basic task of a self-driving system. Getting visual AI up to that point will require computing technology significantly more capable than what Tesla has on any of its vehicle--something on the order of two or three CPU/GPU generations more capable.

By the time the visual processing hardware is up to the task, the cost of a LIDAR system will no longer be the most expensive part of the car. Hell, there are already systems in pre-production that now cost less than $2000/sensor, before economies of scale.

I work for an ISP and often encounter the exact opposite of this.

From time to time we get a customer who calls up to order a connection specifically for a VPN. They know exactly what they need. They won't listen. I try to steer them to a less expensive package that is perfectly adequate for a VPN. They'll have none of it. They want a bunch of special add-ons because they have done this all before with other ISPs and they know the ropes. They have no idea how a VPN even works, and they've never even heard of our company before, but they know exactly what they want.

I try to politely point out that I could help them save money and still guarnantee it will work without problems. But I won't argue with the customer. If they want to pay 5x for a bunch of custom stuff they don't need, I can do that.

In the end, they are very happy. They have outsmarted the greedy, conniving ISP, and got themselves a rock-solid service. I make a mental note to try to find a local contact for them with whom we can build a relationship of trust and perhaps persuade down the road that they could actually pay less without compromising their service.
Exactly, and saying things like "You arent a failure" to someone who has quite obviously failed at their attempts to be a software engineer and business owner is sending the wrong message. If somethings is going wrong with your life, it's not helpful to ignore that and pretend everything is great. The cognitive dissonance involved with that will put a huge strain on you, and possibly make the problem worse.

From what the OP has said, it would seem that in their current state they are not capable of working as a programmer right now. I would recommend getting help for the depression and anxiety first, and then working on software engineering skills until they are more confident and capable. The 50K USD should allow them some leeway to do this without needing to find work immediately, which will help.

Good luck.

We have rules in place for a reason, so we can live in a civil society.

Also, in this case, so people don't get sick from drinking contaminated beverages.

There are safe places to have a business located, and on the corner of a neighborhood street where bad drivers are cutting corners, texting, and going too fast is NOT one of those places.

Sure - there were the "good old days" - but thankfully humans have the ability to learn as time goes on, and to determine what is safe and what is not.

HOA idiot? Those idiots chose to live in the neighborhood they live in and pay those huge HOA fees for a reason - so that they can make sure neighbors abide by rules even if there are many rules they don't like themselves. It creates a status quo so everyone can live in peace.

My HOA keeps trash cans off streets, RVs from staying parked in front of our houses, junk from being in the front yard, dogs from barking constantly, etc. I've been fined for leaving my trash can out too long. Fine, but I won't do it again. It's also stopping my neighbor from letting his kids drive their ATV on the sidewalks and on our driveways and through our yards.

The lemonade stand is a thing of the past because it's just not safe, not a good idea, not a registered business, not policed by the FDA.

I get it. I'm such a stick in the mud. But I also think that rules need to stay in place and be enforceable in order to have a civil and safe world for humans to continue to enjoy.

I think that most people know that little kids are disgusting and covered in germs and viruses. People buy the lemonade because they want to support the kid, not because of the quality of the beverage.

Last summer I noticed several of the lemonade stands in my neighborhood had bottles of hand sanitizer and that the kids were actually using it. Maybe there is some level of awareness out there.

At least little kids will usually wash their hands because their parents tell them to. High school cheerleaders with no oversight are a different story.
That may all be true (although I certainly was not under the impression that New York or Chicago were particularly clean) and good evidence that with the right policies and programs, those are tractable problems, but I think we can at least agree that nonetheless they are harder to solve than the MTA taking a vote and mailing out some letters about new permitting requirements. So the fact that that has happened for scooters, yet homelessness and substance abuse haven’t been solved, doesn’t strike me as “malevolent”.

Thanks for humoring my post with a real answer.

1. I never realized there was a function that just returned an instance of the class. Should've just looked it up myself.

2. I was wrong and misread the header stuff.

3. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a convention I'm not accustomed to seeing or using. Admittedly, there are lots of ways to skin a cat with optional and default args.

4. Yeah I understand what you're saying. I guess it's a fine "greasemonkey" approach. Just more susceptible to DOM changes and code errors than I'm comfy with even for a rudimentary implementation.

I agree you'd usually want to get an error than an empty list but I think it's a little more complicated than just whether you want an error or an empty list. Sometimes you want the error but don't get it, which is why I tend to write more code around checking stuff and catching exceptions. I think the best example is you might not see an index error but the list item that's returned for your specified index isn't actually what you wanted because the DOM changed or you wrote code against one page that broke on another one you thought would be identical.
thats what I'm saying. many people jump to 'discrimination' when its merely a discrepancy. discrepancies exist everywhere for entirely benign reasons. furthermore, believing its discrimination for its own sake (like age discrimination) would contradict the belief that companies optimize for profit (which I don't think is a bad thing) since there no absolute causality there.

Network Neutrality is a concept, not a law.

Yes, the US law requiring a certain kind of Network Neutrality did expire.

The point is: service providers charging for differentiated QoS (such as different packages for latency) is well within the concept of Network Neutrality.

What is 'out of bounds' for NN is charing for customers based on the content of those packages.

So:

> A low latency service (designed for gaming in mind), is NN

> A low-latency service 'for games only' - is not NN

> If the ISP charges you money to access 'Steam' games, but not for others - that is not NN.

> People pay big money for nice photos of products and then somebody just comes and takes it as their own

This raises an interesting question: if someone had a product on Amazon and had product photos they took, does Amazon still allow other sellers to use the same listing? In other words, does the seller agreement allow Amazon to reuse your (potentially expensive to produce) product photos on your competitor's product listing?

I use Nextcloud since a few years now and I have to say I am quite happy.

Sometimes the devs have some awkward attitude towards not supporting the latest stable PHP version with their current version, but overall they do a decent job and every major release brings cool new features. With KDE the desktop integration is quite nice (don't know about other desktops).
I believe there is generally thought to be a rough correlation between object size and object lifetime in most programs. So reducing the number of small objects that are allocated in the GCed heap should, on average, reduce the proportion of young objects. Indeed, if an object can be passed by value and/or allocated on the stack following escape analysis, that suggests that it is an object that would have had a short lifetime in the equivalent Java program.

But I don't disagree with what you are saying. It may be that Go would perform better with a generational GC. My claim is not that Go is better off with a non-generational GC (I don't know if it is or it isn't), but simply that it is less in need of one than e.g. Java.
Agreed. A few more parentheses is all the sentence needed to convey its meaning.

I really am of the belief he talked Tesla into a corner here. While LIDAR is bulkier it offers so much beyond RADAR and cameras that its not truly up for debate. I could ramble but this article Wired[1] does it properly

As for today's announcement I don't know what to say other than maybe they are trying to get in front of something they know is coming down from the NHTSA. I certainly hope they don't try to bluff them

We need to work with some real numbers.

In the US there are about 1.2 fatalities per 100 million miles driven [0].

About 19 months ago, Tesla said their cars logged 1.3 billion miles on autopilot [1].

I'd guess that autopilot number has at least doubled by now.

So if there have been far fewer than 26 people killed by autopilot, then it's already saving lives.

"Do they though?"

It doesn't matter.

Apple can charge you whatever it wants for it's iPhone. You can pay or not.

ISP's can charge you whatever they want for whatever QoS. You can pay or not. That's Network Neutrality.

What they cannot do under NN, is charge you based on who you are, or based on what you use your service for. So, charging you for Netflix usage, vs HBO usage is totally out of bounds.

If they sell you a 'streaming service' with whatever QoS - you should be able to it for whatever on earth you want.

My point is: there is usually an underlying cost-based reality to most of these things, and some of the people on this thread are not actually arguing for 'Net Neutrality' - they are arguing for 'ISP's should only be allowed to bill me in a very, specific narrow way, by law, irrespective of what consumer needs are or what their costs are'.
The sample size is irrelevant. The NTSB report reveals that the Tesla crashed into the median not because there was a glitch, but because the design of the system fundamentally wasn't capable of avoiding it. Tesla can't stop in response to stationary objects (likely because it can't tell the background apart from real obstacles and enabling breaking would cause too many false positives). That design is only safe if you have a human in the loop to do what the computer cannot do.
