Is there another rebuttal to Rayiner you might have that would be persuasive to someone who is not sympathetic to ancap philosophy?
Frankly, it'd be insane to invest in 10 or 7 or 5nm at this point for a custom design of maybe a few million units. The investment required scales insanely with reduction in feature size (Billions of dollars, potentially), and you'll never get your investment back. That effectively locks you in to an old design for several years. And the difference in unit costs or efficiency between 14 and 10nm is not big enough to matter compared to the upfront costs.

Fabbing at 14nm is the only sensible thing for Tesla to do right now, and since they're able to do it to replace their existing Nvidia chip for lower cost, it seems quite sensible.

For deb based distros at least all the tool needs to do is `apt-get install foo=x.y.z; apt-mark hold foo`
There's still one there. I see them often in tourist/beach cities, presumably because kids are enticed by things like invisible ink (judging from their billboards).
Basically zero, almost entirely unprepared. I have been referred to as my parent's "retirement plan". I fully intend to care for them as they get older. The thought of somehow having enough money to ever buy a house, pay off my student loans, pay for my own (future) children's existence, my parent's needs, and then finally my own retirement really stresses me out. We'll see how it goes.
I will admit to being uncharitable.

I am assuming they did copy/paste coding to get features into both. It is possible that they actually did write everything twice, but that is generally such a stupid idea I can't believe it (except for UI - it makes perfect sense to write a the UI for android and iOS completely separate - the logic behind the UI should still be common, but the UI elements/APIs are different enough that common probably isn't worth it)

Adding more repos should not split up pull requests. If it does that is a function of bad architecture.

Lumen5 | Mobile, Graphics, and ML engineers | Vancouver, BC | Fulltime, Onsite | https://lumen5.com

We're a startup (14 people so far) that is growing quickly! We're writing software that uses machine learning to convert text content into video. We've found that what we're building is very attractive to marketing teams from lots of different organizations and we've got tons of interesting search, NLP, artificial intelligence, video rendering, and web scaling technical challenges. Right now, we're hiring:

- Mobile Developer: we haven't built a mobile app before, so this is a great chance to work on something really greenfield. You'll set up the whole architecture, decide which tools we use, how we release updates, and drive the direction of our mobile development! Looking for some React Native experience https://lumen5.workable.com/j/B2928CA74B

- Machine Learning Engineer: specializing in NLP problems like document summarization and understanding, topic extraction, and recommendation systems. https://lumen5.workable.com/j/964B167919

- Graphics Developer: Intermediate position, contribute to our video rendering pipeline using javascript, webgl, pixijs. Looking for someone with experience in digital content creation tools, familiarity with computer graphics tools, data structures, and algorithms. https://lumen5.workable.com/j/93A836A2D1
The recent uptick in Linux and Wine support may counter that... it feels like there's been more effort in the last 8-12 months than in the 2 years prior to that.

Just the uptick on Gaming on Linux youtube content from previously windows-centric sources would indicate demand is climbing.
Tesla is not at all focused anymore, no idea why. To operate a robot EDIT:taxi service EDIT end: you need to figure out maintenance, placement of cars, customer service, you name it. And they already have issues running production and distribution.

But that might be a nice way to get outside funding for a new service that can buy a bunch of Teslas. That in turn would increase sales and, potentially, increase the stock. Kind of what Tesla did with Solar City, more or less. For me that is only postponing the time they hit a hard wall.
The thing is, it was clearly in the interest of the developer. Vivox tried to use the "drop it, it's so insignificant" card, but, even compared to the number of Linux gamers, the insignificant market would actually be the "vivox users" market.
Policies can always be improved but the relationship between stronger regulation in health care and more access (lower cost) is pretty robust across the world. Nobody openly argues for policies that will lead to higher cost and less access.

Idea for someone looking for something to build, on my list but probably won't prioritize it for many years as I'll build it eventually but would welcome someone else building it. If anyone wants to work on this ping me and maybe I can help collaborate/mentor.

Typing App for Engineers, MVP:

* Load a canvas with a preloaded code snippet, the text is mostly greyed out

* When typing your text shows over the greyed out text, but darker, red if the character doesn't match

* Time how long it takes to type it perfectly

Gold plating:

* Users can login

* Users can upload own code snippets for community contributions

* Leaderboard shows top times and users for those who typed it perfectly, only perfect scores are registered, because code must be perfect or it won't run.

This could also allow an engineer to learn APIs while learning to type. I did this with 60 or so pages of Drupal code a few years ago. I used Compiz fusion's overlay opacity control to put a loaded code snippet into VIM,reduced the opacity of the window slightly, then laid another VIM terminal on top of it, reduced the opacity of that terminal window so I could see behind it and started typing the slightly greyed out text from the window behind.

Been meaning to put this out on my blog but this is a good start.
Elon/Tesla have a vested interest in making sure LIDAR isn't required by law for self-driving vehicles. In addition, his NN-camera-powered-cars are still trying to drive themselves into highway barriers.
> China is already leading the world in electric busses. They work great. Busses are such good vehicles for batteries, that for some routes it may even make sense to run them with super-capacitors, with chargers embedded in the road at stops.

Alberquerque had to return electric buses because they didn't perform up to the range requirements.

Electric bus range goes down the moment you introduce any sort of elevation, which is why Shenzhen, a relatively flat city, has them, and Hong Kong, an extremely hilly and mountainous city, considered the pilot a failure.

I know this isnt going to be a popular opinion here, but I'm going to say it anyways -- we are simply not going eat our away out of this climate change problem, and we shouldnt even try, we should focus the efforts in other places

Here is the current breakdown of the world's emissions as of 2018:

1. heavy industry (29 percent)

2. buildings (18 percent)

3. transport (15 percent)

4. land-use change (15 percent)

5. the energy needed to supply energy (13 percent).

Livestock is responsible for 5.5 percent, mostly methane rather than CO2, and aviation for 1.5 percent.

Here is the estimated sacrifice needed to bring carbon emissions down by half and then to zero:

It would require forgoing electricity, heating, cement, steel, paper, travel, and affordable food and clothing.

Both of these are taken from Enlightenment Now by Pinker, and I have not seen the numbers or his conclusions refuted. I'm open to someone trying to change my mind, but with these numbers, I do not see how that is possible.

If I have time to read about some unusual subject purely for enjoyment, it's hard to beat the New Yorker. I still remember a truly wonderful pair of articles years ago about a road-trip across Russia (written by Ian Frazier?). They allowed me to experience a place I'll never visit, and I enjoyed the trip.

If I just want information, I'll go to Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, etc., search for some keywords, skim it, and close the tab. Writing can be used for many purposes.

Vertical integration. Tesla can have the chip solely focused on their specific needs.

They ignore google/waymo because they won't sell them the chip anyway.

Because Aldrin's video is much clearer, for what reason I don't know, and appears to be the one more often shown AFAICT...and not that anyone will really care in the long run.

But I was completely messed up in one important regard: the iconic color shots were almost all of Aldrin as the handheld cameras (in 11 at least) were still cameras only and almost all those shots were taken by Armstrong for some reason.
On the other man I am making the kind of money I can never ever make in UK, so US is optimized for individual gains and high health care cost are side effects this bal game.
I thought for sure SteamOS and the various Steam Machine “consoles” would create a critical mass, but it seems to just be going considerably slower than I would have predicted. I’m hopeful, but I don’t see the economics adding up right now
> the "Producer" role which, when executed well, is someone dedicated to organizing the troops, but does not make strategic decisions.

That's a project manager, as opposed to like, 'people managers.' PMs are the unfortunate dotted line in org charts, with zero power but massive responsibilities -- shipping on time and under budget!

To be fair, most Asian cities have stuff like this. It never caught on in the west due to cultural and political reasons e.g. urban planning in western nations are designed with cars as the preferred mode of transport and most housing densities are several magnitudes lower than places like Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore. Just two days ago HN was lamenting about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19769292

Other than urban planning, the abundance of street food and lack of tipping culture in Asia also probably helps.

You had better hope that your bus doesn't get stuck in traffic on the way there, then.
My point is that Waymo has taken large and public steps forward. People have seen the Waymo cars (and have to deal with them) in Phoenix.

No one has ever seen a "Full self driving" car from Tesla, despite the fact that hundreds-of-thousands of people have paid $5000 for the promise of future hardware to be installed onto their car.

My point is: other companies are ahead, and have demonstrated capabilities above and beyond Tesla's 14nm chip team.

Indeed I meant in the .gitlab-ci.yml. I would assume you'd name the branch in the schedule, and if not default to the default branch. Similarly, it's sad you can't set a variable in one stage and have it available in another, and there's a couple of other niggles that one needs to work around.

With that said, the product is fantastic and I'm just pointing out some flaws so the parent understands I've actually used the product, and not just a fanboy yelling. :)
I learned touch typing when I was 25. THis was probably after 6 years of programming and computer use. I could already type fast enough without looking at the keyboard, but I decided to learn anyway.YMMV, but it took me about 2hours for 5 days to get comfortable with touch typing. For programmers who are still wondering the effort required, just do it!

For me the biggest advantage I see after learning touch typing is lesser errors because you are getting proper feedback from the screen while you are typing.
You should probably clarify the type of insurance. I'm assuming health insurance.

Since it's a small company, and employees are in different locations, I don't think a group policy will be worthwhile. I'd recommend a reimbursement model, where employees find their own insurance, and you can apply the reimbursement to their paycheck, so it's tax deductible by the company.
This comment is, sadly, on-point.

Elon Musk is pretending like Tesla can make money from this self-driving taxi idea.

You can't make money from self-driving Taxis if Google/Waymo simply offers a similar service for cheaper right next to you. And yes, Google/Waymo has the vertical integration thing all figured out too.

Now if you think that maybe Tesla's chip is useful for its M3 customers... sure. I strongly disagree with that fact, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion on that subject. My main issue is that Elon Musk is trying to sell this idea... that Tesla can actually raise money by going into self-driving taxis.

That's completely hogwash. Completely. There's not a chance of that at all. The other companies are too far ahead, and Tesla doesn't have enough cash to enter that fledgling industry.

Tesla isn't a tech company anymore, its a car company. It built a $2.5 Billion factory that can only produce cars, and its stuck with that (and its associated loans). Elon Musk can't just pivot into a new industry with all of these loans weighing down on his company.

Now, maybe if Elon Musk wanted to start a new company, one that wasn't burdened by all of the Gigafactory Debt, to tackle the self-driving problem... well... maybe that would work. But Tesla has already bet its life on wide-scale deployment of the Model 3. It doesn't have any other chances. It simply doesn't have the money to do anything else, or to pivot anymore.
Sure! Why not? You've got the experience, expertise and no contractual obligation. If you think you can compete, go for it.
I looked up the study, first up it wasn't "Oxford scientists" but a University of Oxford think tank called the Food Climate Research Network.

Follow the links, Monsanto has deep connection to the University of Oxford, at least £50 million pounds. UO professors routinely get consulting fees from Monsanto. They even have a Monsanto Senior Research Fellowship position.

There is a massive conflict of interest with Monsanto and the University of Oxford. You find this with most food and nutrition science. Since the funding for such sciences comes from the industry, any science that is critical of it's paymasters soon gets silenced.

IMHO, this highlights the main pain point: transportation.

The city of LA's population was about 3 million in 1984 and now it's about 4 million. The surrounding cities (which are often hard to distinguish from LA itself) have grown too. Road and freeway expansion have not kept pace. Car traffic has become far heavier.

In 1984, the events were spread all over the place. They'll probably do something similar in 2028.

Will people be able to drive their rental cars and take their Ubers in a timely manner to the drop-off points for these dispersed events?

Will the city and county governments and the MTA add public transport in an intelligent and sufficient way to eliminate the need or desire for large amounts of private transportation? (Answer: no)
