Did you notice any other side effects from dropping caffeine? For example, weight loss (or at least less likely to gain)? That is, I've read that stress increases cortisol. I could think (too much) caffeine can have similar effect.

I ask because I tend to feel that less caffeine makes me feel "lighter" (so to speak). But I haven't tracked it closely. It's more a general pattern that I think I'm seeing, but perhaps it's wishful thinking plus some bias?

I would add to this that Autopilot is great in stop-and-go traffic. It makes an annoying situation so much more pleasant when the car is doing all the stopping and going for you.
But you don't need to train in a car, so you want to optimize cost/power for pure inference. Similarly if all you want to do is cheap and efficient inference, it isn't clear to me that TPU V1 are obsolete today.

When a Sponsored Facebook Post Doesn’t Pay Off (2018)
That statistic is wildly and purposefully misleading. It compares the safety of Autopilot (which only drives on the freeway) with human drivers on any road. Accidents-per-mile are already much lower on the freeway.

Plus, the statistic ignores the fact that responsibility is actually shared between humans and the car. If autopilot gets into an unsafe situation and gives control to the human at the last moment, the car company might claim that the accident happened under human control. We have a long way to go before we can truly understand the safety of semi-autonomous vehicles.
Appreciate conservative industries like aerospace need optimists like yourself to back ambitious projects that Airbus and Boeing have commercial reasons to avoid trying for themselves even if they thought they might be viable, but point 2 of your FAQ alarms me.

~$2bn is a ludicrously small sum of capital to get a "final plane", even compared with airframe programmes that took the 737 as a starting point and had the relatively straightforward objective of being a 737 but a few percentage points more fuel efficient and with a nice new cockpit. And no, you really can't debt-finance a new aircraft research programme with outstanding orders. Most of the money in an aircraft transaction changes hands at the delivery stage (deposits are a small fraction of the aircraft cost, pre-delivery payments are also a small fraction and are made in the months immediately prior to an aircraft delivery, not as r&d funding). The airlines usually need external financing to actually manage these payments which comes from the asset finance arms of conservative financial institutions looking to earn steady ROI from having assets with predictable residual values on their balance sheet, not a punt on a research project which may or may not actually deliver an aircraft. Boom's going to have to raise VC-type funding themselves; the airlines can't and won't do it for them at any scale. (I used to speak with senior executives at airlines involved in aircraft finance on a day to day basis so I'm not just being cynical here). And please correct me if there is undisclosed information and I am wrong on this point, but at the moment as I understand it Boom does not have "many billions" in orders, it has non-binding LOIs for an entirely notional 76 aircraft and $10m in equity investment from JAL is the only financial commitment from any airline.

So I'd be extremely worried if this was the basis from which investors in general were considering their risk-adjusted returns. I suspect this is more your attempt at an HN-friendly summary of the prospects based on casual conversations with employees, as someone who yourself backed the project for other reasons at a much earlier stage. But if they were making claims about funding much of their r&d from their order book in representations to investors (as I said, I suspect they aren't) I'd start viewing it a Theranos-level heist as opposed to yet another well-intentioned aerospace project full of good engineers trying something wildly ambitious (which is where I think they actually are).
Basic Indicator of Gender Inequality (BIGI)
I have a feeling it's more a case of misaligned incentives than just that people with the right knowledge are not involved. Medical professionals are certainly one set of stakeholders that EHR developers consider, but I'm almost certainly they aren't the ones given the highest priority. I would bet that billing, legal compliance and protection from accusations of malpractice are all given a higher priority than actually being able to effectively treat patients.
The problem is that with a L2 system like the current autopilot where you have to take over when you exit a highway and encounter for example a traffic light, you trigger effectively a "disengagement" while operating with the expected flow of the system. It means that the "disengagement metric" gets very noisy (I'd say useless) in this case.
Crying when confronted with critical questions, as an apparent strategy to dodge genuine concerns? Stalking social media profiles and tattling on MAPS employees who "liked" critical posts? Showering lavish attention and then suddenly and coldly ending it when they get what they need? It certainly feels underhanded. This may be par for the course in big business, but it's all the more dissonant when the compound in question is meant to make users more compassionate and open.

Ok, jumping in here. So yes, HN doesn't 'need' a full app, but the functionality difference between this site and Reddit isn't that great. So why, pray tell, does Reddit nag me every time I visit on mobile?

It certainly isn't that the app provides functionality that isn't avaliable through the browser, but somebody decided that it was worth spending development time and nagging users over. So yes, there are things that can't be implemented through the browser and require an app, but it's incorrect to state that nobody develops an app unless they absolutely need to.

State sponsored malware will often do an inventory of the system they are running on, and send details back to help identify the machines that are being used to analyze the samples. NSA steals things like IDA when they come across them (in the same way they target companies to steal things like code signing certificates) so the analysis environment is completely non-attributable.
None of those is a statement about C++. They’re all fairly subjective statements about people’s thoughts and motivations. You may disagree with them, but you can’t seriously suggest that these statements are a fair basis on which to conclude that arandr0x is too ignorant of C++ to contribute to any discussion about the language.

It's particularly discouraging to see you use someone's understandable nervousness about attending a conference as a basis to attack them for their "ignorance". Ironically, that just confirms that arandr0x is right to be a little nervous!

If you transpose your attitudes to the complexity of C++ and the complexity of unicode (“you suck because you don’t understand C++” vs. “unicode sucks because I don’t understand it”), then you might see what arandr0x is getting at.
Except the tax rate isn’t the same everywhere or for every kind of dollar earned.

And so it’s basically a ceiling on what that company can pay an employee versus what the employee could go make on their own or elsewhere.

At $50k-$100k you can assume there are limits to what an employee can do. At $10m plus anything is on the table.

So instead of taking a raise, I take a day off per week. Or two.

Thanks for sharing! I really should have been more specific and said "SQL database engines". There's definitely a lot of interesting work going on in the document store space, but as someone who's more familiar with SQL relational databases it's always a challenge to fit my data model into the constraints of document-based datastores. For example I'm used to being able to efficiently query on almost anything given that it's in an index, and services like DynamoDB and AppEngine Datastore (not sure if this is what Firebase Datastore is now) always seemed to want me to build my data around their unique constraints, making it difficult to move data between platforms. That's the real benefit of SQL databases: they're (largely) compatible with one another (as long as you're not using really niche features that is).
This only happens in America. We don’t care if you die from lack of medical care or from gun violence. People absolutely just don’t care unless they are told to.

This is all to keep the public distracted and not focused on fixing real problems.

I started in tech as a network engineer. Eventually I ended up in a management position and thought I was doing pretty well simply because I was the most talented and knowledgeable person on the team, the team liked me, and I was able to mentor each of them. In truth, I wasn't doing much of a job at all, acting little more than a technical lead.

The second management role I took, I inherited a team of low performers. I had no idea what to do other than to demand better work from them eventually doing most of it myself and causing them to feel that they were incapable of being successful. I was a failure as a manager.

Following that I tucked my tail and moved into an IC role for a while. I read every management book I could find and eventually made my way back into management once I came to the conclusion that management, in and of itself, is a job that must be one's first priority. Getting work done becomes secondary.

I know I'm really echoing other comments already in this thread but it's worth repeating. Management is a skill that must be learned. It is entirely about doing what's necessary to make other people successful and often has very little to do with the practice of actually doing work.

This is both very true and a bit false. My 3D printer sits idle more than 95% of the time, but I just could not have done what I do unless I had one right next to me so I could iterate quickly. I usually need to do 4-5 iterations of something to get all the tolerances and details right, which cannot be scheduled a week in advance.

However, if you can share a printer with someone and have low-latency access to it, definitely do not buy your own, just use that.

You can have limited anonymity and the option of hiding into the crowds.

To give a very crude example, a FBI backdoor key established in the genesis block could allow them to publish into the blockchain a personal information fetch request that is public and has a public field that the agency is expected to populate with relevant court order number. They could of course issue requests without that field, but in that case everyone could see their behavior and laws could be passed to make it illegal.

A further refinement would be to request a financial bond before the operation is executed. This bond could increase exponentially, guaranteeing the backdoor cannot be abused for mass surveillance and is employed for limited, high profile cases.

I attempted to make this change a few years back, and failed miserably.

What went wrong? For me, personally, the problem was still having too many developer duties. I had a full schedule of management duties to attend to, and a full schedule of development duties to attend to. I quickly began to burn out, and did a poor job on both. Although I excelled at some of my management duties, others were critically neglected due to lack of time. Specifically, at the manager level inter-team communication is important and I did a shitty job of it.

In hindsight, I should have dropped my developer duties completely. I didn't because my team didn't have the employee resources to meet its objectives. But attempting to take on critical-path development duties in order to fix the problem was the wrong thing to do. I did me no favours, nor did it help the company. Maybe I did it because I was more comfortable doing development than with the inter-team communications duties I was neglecting. In any case, we would all have been better off if I had spent more time paying attention to my team's place in the rest of the company, and simply pushed back on schedule and resources.
No questions here, but you guys might be interested to see the implementation I took with this, where I also used machine learning for Alzheimer's / dementia diagnosis.

https://github.com/jddunn/dementia-progression-analysis

I was using OASIS's public dataset so I only had ~150 images to work with, instead of ~2000. I used transfer learning from ImageNet's dataset to try and get usable results. I also had super limited testing (15-20 patients), but got ~60% accuracy with ~13% false positive rate.

It could be useful to apply those same transfer learning techniques in your team's model.
Ha! Yes it does. Thanks.
I had this problem during six months of self-employment. I found that the cheapest way to get good insulin (Novolog) is to fly to Bangkok / Chiang Mai and hit up all the pharmacies until you have a year's supply. If you're not unlucky, you shouldn't have a problem at the airports.

I agree with you, although I don't know if that was the intention from the outset, it's the unintended outcome nonetheless. Their arbitrary nature + requirement for equal representation creates situations that run contrary to democratic ideals, or at least that of majority rule.
> It’s not uncommon for teenagers to be misdiagnosed with mental illness or ADHD and either of those are disqualifiers for FAA medical certification, military pilot careers, and likely many other military, law enforcement, and intelligence careers. IIRC, a prolonged history of ADHD treatment is enough to disqualify military entrance for any MOS without waiver. Waivering prior ADHD diagnosis requires a costly and difficult process to undiagnose the patient and prove that he or she no longer has the condition and was incorrectly diagnosed in the first place, at least if you are trying to get FAA certified for a Class 1.

no the point is that the idea of the goodness of a minimum wage is very much tied to a very middle class idea of what constitutes labor, and the reality is that large classes of people are not necessarily in a situation where it is a useful societal tool. As typical, one of the hidden costs - increased cost of living - hurts the least privileged the hardest.

> What prevents three-letter agencies from using software without paying for it?

The law, same as anyone else.

Having worked in the public sector, there's a lot more law than there is compared to the private sector. That's because anything that the legislature does or doesn't want your organization to do has to be coded in law. That's the legislatures only means of direction. Further, executive directives related to your organization also carry the force of law. What that means is you can't not follow it. You can't chose to ignore the law or executive directives. You don't get to ask for clarifications or exceptions. The former come from a judge and the latter do not exist until the legislature creates them. It doesn't matter that there's no direct penalty for it; you're not allowed to chose to not follow it. This is one of the worst parts about the public sector: there is often much less wiggle room, especially for broad issues.

I'm sure that the TLAs negotiate with IDA for site licenses, or bind them to confidentiality contracts, but I have no doubt at all that they legitimately pay for the COTS products they use.
