Gotta love the downvotes. So, it’s offensive to suggest that there are alternatives to threading on a post about WHY threading IS a bad idea???

Actor model with messages (events) sent between potentially isolated processes, perhaps?

If you truly need to run a compute intensive task in the background, the effort to [de]serialize a “command object” to and from another process should not be much overhead, vs sharing almost all memory by default.

Once you reach the point where you are starting a thread pool at start up, rather than spawning threads on demand, why not just have a process pool?

Shared memory blocks can also be used to explicitly share data too large to effectively serialize as a message / event.

If you truly have something that pumps huge amounts of data between compute intensive tasks, then threads make sense. Proceed with extreme caution, and try to encapsulate the trick bits.
Don't let the date scare you, it holds up incredibly well.

Indeed, the laws of physics have not changed. It seems like a lot of people are turned off by old books, when I've found that my experience has often been the exact opposite --- for subjects like maths and electricity, the very old books had a way of explaining things that makes them quite easy to understand and perhaps even better than the new ones which simply glance over a subject and almost assume knowledge.
You know CTA buses (unlike the trains) have a place where you can put (a limited amount of) luggage in the front, right? But it's probably still faster to take the red line to the loop...
>But if you're going to do all that, why use Autopilot?

I don't under stand the value of Autopilot at all. What is the value in sitting there concentrating on driving without slightly the turning the wheel to stay in a lane.

First, I think doing nothing but still being expected to pay attention is more annoying than having a role in driving. But even without that, whats so fucking hard about moving the wheel a little bit.
It’s not about honesty here, it’s about honesty in law enforcement/government.

The marketing problem is lay people thinking that aircraft autopilots are magical self flying machines when they often require the pilot to provide corrective input, especially during “autoland.”

If you think Tesla Autopilot needs another name, stop operating on mystical beliefs like Rei-Ki and magical self-flying autopilot and learn what any aircraft autopilot is actually capable of.

> FDE is the norm for desktop/laptop users, we're well beyond that in the GNU/Linux world.

>In that case, I don't blame Telsa for crashing -- you literally are baiting it into the crash a la a bull with a flag. You make it follow one car, prevent it from changing lanes, and then have an obstacle parked in the middle of the lane.

This situation is pretty common on the road. And a lot of humans who aren't paying attention get caught by it.

But it's not impossible to avoid, you have to be watching ahead of the car in front of you. And if you can't see in front of the car in front of you, you gotta have a lot more space so you can break in tiime.

From their project page, the trip will take about 12 minutes and cost half that of a tax. So, that probably means ~$20.

It's apparent through a lot of boring company press releases the tunnels are intended for essentially cars temporarily put onto skates in tunnels.

So then why not a high speed train instead of individual vehicles? You would think the capital cost of a tunnel over it's lifetime (100+ years going by the NYC subways) is not substantial compared with magnitudes more in individual vehicle operating costs.

Not to mention trains have much higher throughput, energy efficiency, less worry over spacing via stopping distance etc over individual propulsion methods, and airports are pretty bursty in terms of traffic volume.

The answer seems pretty clear with the disdain Musk expresses of sharing public space with the average person.

But how do you know you have the right entagled peer? How's that different than any other out of band key exchange?
It does, and that's an assumption that probably doesn't hold.

Most things in the economy work that way though - the total supply of hard currency in the economy is only $3.6T, so when you speak of the $18T US GDP or the $20T US national debt or the $524T value of the derivatives market, it necessarily accounts for the same dollar changing hands multiple times. That's what makes it a currency, that it can circulate and change hands while holding its value.

If your list of options can be counted on a persons digits then the market is inefficient.
The only objective of Tesla Autopilot is Traffic Aware Cruise Control and lane keeping. That’s it. End of story. You are there to supervise operation and take action when TACC and LK are insufficient for the environment.

Autopilot when used correctly can significantly reduce fatigue because you are not focussed on the minutiae of keeping pace with the car in front of you and keeping the car in the assigned lane. This frees your attention up for higher level operation such as observing the traffic further ahead, scanning for hazards, and enjoying the scenery to your left and right.

Discerning stationary hazards from stationary scenery is not part of Autopilot’s feature set right now, that is your job as the operator.

Survivorship bias and startup hype
If they build the tunnel at $20k/foot, the cost would roughly be $1.6B. The line will supposedly run every 30 seconds for 20 hours per day. That's 876k trips per year.
If they charge $20/ride and it fits 16 people, it will generate $280M/year at 100% utilization, or 17% ROI. Maybe a more realistic number would be 40% utilization, which still gives a respectable 7% ROI.

Looks well done (it uses unicode art, so it must be amazing) but I have a fundamental distrust/dislike of record/replay frameworks...just seems like you're papering over an inherently bad testing approach.

E.g. sure, when replays work, they're great, but:

a) you have to do a manual recording to create them the first time (which means manually setting up test data in production that is just-right for your test case)

b) you have to manually re-record when they fail (and again means you have manually go back and restore the test data in production that is just-right for your test case...and odds are you weren't the one who originally recorded this test, so good luck guessing exactly what that was).

In both cases, you've accepted that you can't easily setup specific, isolated test data in your upstream system, and are really just doing "slightly faster manual testing".

So, IMO, you should focus on solving the core issue: the uncontrollable upstream system.

Or, if you can't, decouple all of your automated tests from it fully, and just accept that cross-system tests against a datasource you can't control is not a fun/good way to write more than a handful of tests (e.g. ~5 smoke tests are fine, but ~100s of record/replay tests for minute boundary cases sounds terrible).
I would say Google has always taken the security on the Pixel very seriously. It's also the reason why the Pixel phone was unhackable at Pwn2Own 2017 while the Chinese teams had their way with the iPhone.
I'll try to answer as best as I can.

1. Your question seems mostly answered in this recent article https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-safety-statistic...

2. I don't know much about architecture / model used by Tesla. I don't have open access to the accident's details. It is challenging for most people to publicly and answer your question based on facts. Sorry!

3. Again, I would say only very limited number of people have a clear vision about what's the current status. Some claim it is hard for Tesla to manufacture and design cars, solar panels, batteries and designing an autopilot at the same time. It requires a very broad diversity of skills that may be hard to steer and build from the ground up.

4. Fair enough, point taken. My personal complain is not about the technology in general but about Tesla's marketing. I hope the first planes were not claiming to be safer. The Titanic did though :).

The company didn’t release the details of how their exploit works, but it is believed it is an automated brute force mechanism so it’s actually attempting to bypass security by trying passcodes over and over, not breaking encryption. This is another method to slow down brute force attempts.

Not in the US's healthcare system as it is now. Good luck with that idea.
This is where we separate the good drivers from the accidents waiting to happen. The good drivers will be watching the five or more cars ahead in all lanes to catch any unexpected braking or lane changes, and watching passing vehicles for indications of being exit-darters (those drivers who are so keen to catch the exit they will drive at high speed in the passing lane, then madly swerve through the slow lanes to get to their exit).

The accidents will instead get caught up in that antivaxxer Facebook debate on their phones.

There’s a similar issue in sports discussions. I’m specifically thinking of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Do you judge a player by their career totals, their career averages, or best period? Can a player work themselves out of the HoF by having a few terrible years at the end of a great career?

Personally, I think we should focus on something like the best seven years of a player. I don’t believe that someone sticking around too long and underperforming hurts what they did before.
Detroit can probably handle its demand for airport-downtown travel with a bus lane on one of its many freeways, if the freeways are even congested enough to warrant that...

In fact, bus lanes on freeways would probably be a better solution for most of The Boring Company's applications...

If I read that article in combination with the one we're discussing it looks like there is a race to the bottom whether its temp jobs or contractors. For instance here in Florida we employ lots of people in the hospitality industry and in the outskirts of those bigger cities (Tampa Bay for example) average wages are so low its shocking. Just take a look some time, whether this is good or bad is up for you to decide. For me I think unless we subsidize education more and do it fast that will be the new crisis.

eventually everything goes down. amazon has gone so high, bezos has so much money, he'll be fin even if it goes down by half. he'd only have 60 billion. musk has much less but plenty too. space x and teslas are incredibly inventive and creative companies. they are also companies with only a limited monetary product stream. so they are vulnerable to having a few problems in a row. Even if they get problems fixed eventually it could hurt them. but my feeling is both companies will continue to generally succeed, even if they don't always make their schedules.
You're missing what WeWork actually does. They're in the data business. So is SoftBank, their primary investor.

WeWork tracks everything that goes on in its buildings. They're in the business of understanding the quantifiable nuances of human interactions within a workspace. WeWork itself uses that data to "optimize" the coworking experience, but from what I understand, SoftBank has much grander schemes.

Starbuck's convinced a generation that they = coffee + environment.

I'm not entirely sure what that equation means. That Starbucks has convinced a generation they're...a coffee shop? Even if you don't like their coffee, they are a coffee shop. That Starbucks...cares about the environment? By big corporation standards, you could do worse, I guess? Or do you mean that they present themselves as a good environment to do the "hang out here for a while or work here with a laptop" thing? With provisos about how wildly this can vary from location to location (boy howdy, can it), in general I'd argue they are a good place for that. In the SF Bay Area I have a panoply of cafes that serve better coffee, but the majority of them are louder and/or more crowded and/or more expensive and/or less comfortable and/or subtly-to-openly hostile to "digital nomads."

If I have a complaint against WeWork & friends, it's mostly a matter of cost; if I'd been bold enough to try a startup 10–15 years ago, which I probably should have, I wouldn't have dreamed of looking for office space until we had actual revenue (i.e., not VC/seed funding).
Especially since the Blue Line is parallel so they could probably share substations.
Maybe Musk having some agoraphobic bias is the root cause. Or maybe it's because Tesla doesn't sell trains.
