This is so sad. It's kind of like how charities heavily target those who have given before. And spear-phishing.
The grandparent included arguments relevant to the debate.

The above comment is merely an appeal to authority.

If there are facts that support it, I would love to see them posted here, so as to forward the discussion.
One of my managers in a former data science job reviewed a 15 slide deck and gave me feedback. On 4 slides he said "ok"; on the other 11, he said "so what?"
I don’t think high major version number tells you that. Maybe they left 0.x.y (unstable) too early and were just honest with their early churn since which is as semver as you can get.

But one if the main semver violations I see in the wild is a project slotting major changes into the minor version number because they want to avoid high major version numbers for some reason or have some romantic idea of what a major version bump “should be”.
There’s no shortage of large sensors, they just don’t make sense in a phone unless you want it to be huge. In fact there’s a migration upwards in camera sensor sizes owing to the decreasing size of the support electronics, e.g. you can now get a Hasselblad medium format camera that’s smaller than a DSLR. Of course the lenses are huge.

I for one would love for Apple or Samsung or whoever to release a photographer’s smartphone with a micro 4/3 mount (it’s the only multi firm properly documented lens mount system and also seems to be the sweet spot for trading off image quality, sensor readout speed, and size) BUT the phone would be at minimum 20mm thick.
Everyone I know at Google says 20% time comes on top of 100% time these days
And then they still didn't like the numbers for the US, so they included China--for tesla only. Do you know how much that changes the numbers?

The US had 12.9 fatalities per 100k cars. China? 104.5 -- 8 times higher.

Come on. This is a joke.
I'm very proud of my younger self. My advise is to not compare yourself with anybody else. Just try to be the best version of yourself everyday. Things I did right: Save for the future, spend time with family, take care of health, loyalty with my inner believes. Just my 2c.
Django is my gold standard for this. They have great deprecation policies where they deprecate something in the same release that they add alternatives (allowing for you to fix things up before upgrading Django), they document these changes liberally and offer alternatives, make good use of the warnings system (meaning you can run tests in "deprecated functions not allowed" mode to catch stuff), and generally are careful.

I'm still shocked at the number of projects that make breaking changes without first releasing a "support both versions" release that lets people test their changes easily. Especially frustrating when you have really basic environment variable renames that could support the deprecated name as a one-liner so easily.

Give people the space to upgrade please!
So please explain. It's quite a long story but with some good finds (data quality problems, obfuscated reporting, probability of much higher casualty rate). I wonder what your statistical rigour makes of this.
FinCEN is doing that in the larger metropolitan areas but they aren't publishing the data. They've been looking into real estate money laundering in the US on a larger scale for the past couple of years.
> You're contributing to an inefficient market by being opaque with your explicit preferences.

You don't make your preferences explicit in a market by selling them as data. You make your preferences explicit in a market by making trades. The prices at which you make the trades, and what you trade for, are the only information the market needs to be efficient. Which in itself makes the "let's pay customers for their data" line suspicious.
This sensor is different. R, G, and B each have their own 2x2 blocks which are arranged into the Bayer pattern over a 4x4 block. Conversion to the full 48 MP is a step beyond Bayer demosaicing.
maybe some censored data problems here? I'm interested in seeing a jupyter notebook analysis on driver fatality rates

Does anyone have experience doing survival analysis? I've read a lot of the documentation of CamDavidsonPilon's Lifetimes. maybe i'll give it a shot, seems like the type of thing people would already do to price car insurance

Tesla’s mortality rate (41 deaths per million vehicle years) is so much higher than the average luxury car (13 deaths per million vehicle years) that when comparing the two, the difference is hugely statistically significant. The difference is 28 additional deaths per million vehicle years, with a confidence interval of 11 to 63, and a p-value of 0.0001.

Binomial confidence intervals for individual cars except Tesla provided by IIHS

Binomial confidence intervals for Tesla and groups using Conflint.xls from John Pezzullo

so he is doing some kind of hypothesis testing, using the binomial distribution but I wish he would post the data and spreadsheets used to generate everything. probably some p-hacking going on?

I'm not really that statistically literate, just a computer engineering dropout if someone could explain that'd be cool

SemVer is a starting point. If it's a major release you can prepare yourself mentally for a lot of breaking changes. A point release... probably not

In any case you need to read through the changelog or (absent that) the actual code diff and think about how you use the application. It's not 100%, but no versioning system will be able to identify how you use code and how you expect the semantics of an application to be.
Thankyou, this is an important correction. I expect a number of Google's contracts will be structured this way.

For those following along, spending some time with an introductory financial accounting book or textbook is a very useful way to understand a lot of business behaviour. I took a 101-level accounting course during my computer science degree and it has proved to be a very useful thing to have learned about.
Is this actually real? Or is it supposed to be a spoof? (Honest question, not being flippant)
China's fatality rate is 8x higher than the US. The author only included it for Tesla.

The author then went on google and tried to find more articles. Included whatever he could find only for Tesla.

If you're going to go through extra steps to pump Tesla's numbers, then of course they're going to be higher.

Duh.
Honestly, I don’t even care that someone is slam dunk guilty. They have an absolute affirmative right to a jury trial and trying to manipulate them away from exercising that right is unequivocally evil.

Guess what, jury nullification is a thing. So even if they’re 110% guilty and the evidence is incontrovertible, the jury of their peers may judge that the law in question was unjust and the charge unfair and acquit them anyway.

They have the right. Period. No equivocation.
> They found clear Tesla fatalities that were missing from the published data

They looked for Tesla fatalities because they needed more to make the argument they wanted. You understand the distinction, right?

The inherent difficulty in catching criminals who act from a distance, international police cooperation is required, following due process and using extradition treaties. Even extradition between USA states can convince local police to shelve less severe crime cases until the suspect visits the jurisdiction again. If a scammer is located in Russia, it will take a literal FBI trap to bring them to justice.
On the other hand, if some company have all my data and knows what I would need when I need it, it'd help me save tons of time browsing irrelevant information. I hope they can get better doing that. e.g. Yelp has tons of information about what restaurants I like and what I dislike, they still gives me tons of useless recommendations.
The point is that Woz was successful without Jobs and that Jobs's Apple was by no means a singular innovator in the field. The point is to say that it's a bit rich to claim what has been claimed in regards to the necessity of Jobs.

That said, I do grant that Jobs certainly had skill in gathering the right people and ensuring things got done.

What I abhor is the manor in which that was accomplished and the canonisation of Jobs as an individual singularly responsible for everything created by Apple without regard to the hard, bloody work of the hidden legions of staff and burnt out engineers beneath him.

For me, personally, the human cost of Jobs's methods far far outweighed the value of what was created; especially when it was likely to have been arrived at independently by others through less destructive methods.

And who decides if a change is breaking or not?
Harvard's Bill Stuntz wrote about plea bargains extensively before his death.[1] His last book was the "Collapse of American Criminal Justice."

The issue isn't the plea bargain itself, but the incentives to make lots of 'suboptimal' deals. I've seen similar, recent arguments about whether #MeToo perpetrators should be allowed to settle with victims, because of our public interest in identifying attackers.

All things being equal, negotiated resolutions are great. But politics, over-criminalization, career incentives, and budget pressure swamp any real negotiating power by defendants. No one wants to kill any individual's deal. But the deals are the best way to 'see' the effect of the system's incentives.

The possibility of 4x more dynamic range (2 stops) is very exciting. DPReview's writeup [1] mentions the possibility that each of the subpixels could be set to different sensitivities and that each one's information could contribute to the larger pixel's output, increasing its overall dynamic range at the expense of resolution. This simple approach isn't practical with the Bayer pattern because all adjacent pixels have different color filters.

EDIT: I actually found a little explainer on quad bayer on Sony's site [2] for an industrial sensor from 2017. Instead of changing each subpixel's sensitivity, they change how long the subpixel collects light.

I am so happy to see some of these predators get caught. A former coworker, a very smart but also very naive network engineer from the middle east, was hooked by these people shortly after immigrating. They said they were the US government and that he would be immediately deported if he didn't cooperate. He ending up sending them $30,000 if I recall correctly. :(
It was DBKit, the precursor to EOF. DBKit started life as a sales demo to show that the NeXT was useful enough to connect to a real corporate database. The demo was so popular that the field asked it to be integrated into Application Builder, except that there wasn't an actual framework or design behind it. So we needed to come up with something.

DBKit was later rewritten with a real architecture which became Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF).

In such extraordinary situations you can simply switch off the auto-off-on function. But that's a 1% kind of situation.
There are exceptions like the Foveon sensor where the red, green and blue sensors are stacked behind each other or monochrome sensors with interchangeable filters used in scientific applications, but those are not found in common consumer level cameras.

Battery backed DRAMM has been around for a decade or more.
I'm surprised a demo visibly failed. Steve almost always had a hidden backup computer and an engineer following along with the preplanned demo in lockstep. If the machine crashed, a switch could be through and the demo could continue on the new machine.

By no means; I'm sure the author is being purposefully misleading; I highly doubt it was mere accident. :)

In any case, your blatant appeal to authority is not needed; the linked article was kind enough to provide sources, and it's the work of a moment to check them.

Larger sensors are better in respects other than megapixels: diffraction limits hit at much higher f/stops, there is higher dynamic range and less noise, much better microcontrast as a result.
An ML/data engineer tasked with productizing a data pipeline still does all of those - building layers, optimizing code, learning new tools, algorithms data structure, creating unit tests, following programming paradigms.
> Imagine if we had that same attitude with regards to HTTP.

Well, many do. You wouldn't believe the number of broken HTTP clients/servers out there.

The difference is that most HTTP clients/servers have to work with some significant subset of the pre-existing HTTP infrastructure (otherwise why would anyone use them?) and so that constrains their implementation to be "mostly correct". It's literally network effects :).

Libraries on the other hand usually start out with a single consumer and have no such constraints on their implementation so you end up with various levels of ossified brokenness or breaking non-ossification.

The demo for Steve was originally scheduled on a weekday the week previous, but kept getting rescheduled by Steve. Maybe it was a low priority for him and he thought he already knew what it was going to be. The preview only happened at all because we kept pushing for it, because we knew it had changed a lot and it would be very bad if he was seeing it for the first time live.
At my old company of 200k+ people, purchases for things like software licenses or other misc tools would be paid using a card that was in the employee's name, but with the bill going to the employer. I know it's the same method with at least 3 other 150k+ companies that are in my industry. I have a feeling this would confound those results quite significantly.

The Foveon sensors [1] have stacked diodes at each pixel instead of a Bayer (or similar [2]) sensor. The Foveon sensors don't require demosaicing. Some more recent cameras move the Bayer filter one pixel two additional times to capture and record each color for a single image [3] with some obvious limitations for moving subjects.

Well, including data from China for only Tesla is a joke. That would be like saying "we couldn't find any deaths from Ebola in the United States, so we took the ones in Africa and added them in. Wow, look at how many deaths per year from Ebola occurred in the US compared to deaths from the plague in the US!". It makes absolutely no sense.
Nothing mandates it. In fact, it's specifically discouraged in the WebAuthn spec:

> Authenticators may implement a global signature counter, i.e., on a per-authenticator basis, but this is less privacy-friendly for users.

Since you can have multiple keys on the same site, you could go one better, and have a per-key offset. When the key is rederived from the one-time nonce sent from the server, you'd also derive a 16-bit number to add to the 32-bit global counter. But even that wouldn't actually be enough to make correlating them impossible.

A large but finite set of independent global counters is a great idea, though. 256 32-bit integers is just 1 KiB of storage.
Rich Hickey's take on SemVer makes for a really fantastic talk.

"Change isn't a thing. It's one of two things: Growth or Breakage." Growth means the code requires less, or provides more, or has bug fixes. Breakage is the opposite; the code requires more, provides less, or does something silly like reuse a name for something completely different.

I recommend the whole talk, but the specific beef about SemVer starts here: https://youtu.be/oyLBGkS5ICk?t=1792

C++ and C# have the same kind of problem: except for the iffy freind declaration in C++ there is no way in the language to denote that some method is bot meant for use in other modules. C# has the internal scope for each assembly, but this breaks in combination with unit tests placed in seperate testing assemblies.

Generally, proper unit testing is at odds with strict scope restrictions in the tested code. I guess we need more allowances fornunitbtesting at the language level to fix that. E.g. allow testing code to be marked as such and ignore that certain things are declared private, but in turn only allow it to be run in a testing context, but not regular builds, to prevent abuse.
The work environment at NeXT was amazing because of the colleagues. That particular weekend was demoralizing and disillusioned me about Steve Jobs, not because of the criticism, but because it was so out of touch with what the market, application developers, would like.

That said, Steve's intuition was right. We pushed on the impossible for a while and found a way to make the actual technology work the way he liked, by using an entity-relationship model to object-pointer mapping. And that approach later became the standard paradigm for database application building tools across the industry.

Steve made unreasonable demands, but he was on the right side of history sufficiently often that top people wanted to be on his team and tolerated the craziness of it.
