I also found the 10 second engagement time odd. On the one hand, you might not thing it's enough time to become seriously distracted. (eg, you wouldn't be "comfortable" with the semi-autonomous operation yet).

On the other hand, the engagement of autopilot might have been caused by a desire to explicitly NOT pay attention, however briefly. think: "ok, now let me read this text from the person I'm on my way to meet."

I have found myself occasionally using autopilot to augment my driving when I'm doing something that inherently decreases focus on the road, however briefly; eg, taking my sunglasses out of the glovebox. I still drive the same way I normally would in any other car when reaching for something in the glovebox, so it's easy to think "any enhanced safety is better than none".

On the other hand, it could lead to a false sense of security where you pay 10% less attention than doing the same task in a non-augmented car. Or you get comfortable doing such things, so you do them more frequently than truly necessary. (for example, you might just shield your eyes from the sun with your hand rather than grabbing sunglasses in a non-augmented car).

But you have to give up so much for that "instant load". Personally, as a user, I couldn't care less if a page loads instantly or not. I do care that AMP pages tend to be terrible in multiple ways, though.

The solution, of course, is to make it possible for the user to choose whether or not they will get AMP pages. I think that it's telling that Google refuses to address this despite cries for this ability from day 1.

I wasn't speaking of low-level programming. I was referring to very low-latency code.

Highly performant code tends to get complex. One way to ensure high performance and reduce complexity is to deal with values, not pointers; it is good for concurrency (no aliasing), excellent for cache locality, and the value is right there. Multi-versioned stable values work excellently, like RCU-locks in the Linux kernel.
Honestly, the high gas prices we paid for a few years there took care of most of it and the rest was written off. It's already pretty much done.
That’s a fascinating take. I interpreted the comment more as charities (in some cases) can be a poor startup vehicle for those getting into serious philanthropy. So why not spend some time getting to know an issue or a specific community affected by an issue, before donating. More like: Criminals on the streets, despite more cops? Why? Maybe this money can make communities safer or deter would-be criminals?

No airplane low enough to have a 'wing strike' due to a bank would be on autopilot.

In any other condition, the pilot would see the runway well before the aircraft was at an altitude low enough to touch the ground in any sort of bank or turn.

Sort of - but it's more about intent/expectation than "thing" vs "transaction." A security _is_ a thing. The Howey test is how we determine whether an orange grove is a security or a deed. The problem with Howey is that it doesn't address situations where investors aren't investing exclusively for "profit" but might be investing for some other benefit to be derived from the use or enjoyment of the underlying asset. So someone might purchase $500 of Kin with the expectation that they'll sell if it reaches $X and regardless they'll spend at least some of it on mini games.

They expect to consume at least some of the coins... but they also anticipate potential profit from some of the coins.

So are the coins "securities?" Are only some of them? (Presumably, $500 - whatever the buyer intended to consume.)

You can see that Howey's focus on investor expectation isn't particularly helpful in where that line is drawn.

So in the longer term we're still left with the question, how much of the total emissions (including supply chain) of Bosch is due to Bosch's use of electricity?

If somebody makes a battery final assembly plant in Iceland, and run it on geothermal energy only, but buy battery cells manufactured in China with energy from a brown coal powerplant, it's not so interesting that the 1% of emissions from final assembly was removed.

The Iran thing is dubious. If they did pull it off it required state level resources. Eventually it might be possible with commercial hardware but there isn't a lot of cheap stuff on the market that can generate the frequencies needed at the requisite power. It's worth noting that while the real GPS signal is very weak, the antennas that receive it are on the top of the plane and are somewhat directional. The receivers also have some minimal integrity checking capability IIRC.

This is not to say it's impossible, but with the current stuff on the market and required software investment I'd put it at an order of magnitude or two higher execution complexity than grabbing a VHF radio and messing with ILS beams.

> And yet in the last 8 months alone, Autopilot has caused 3 easily avoidable deaths.

This number by itself is absolutely meaningless without more context.

In 2017, 37,133 people in the United States died in an automotive crash. It is expected that some number of Tesla owners will die in a crash, regardless of currently engaged safety features.

Tesla has produced around 600,000 vehicles in total, including over 100,000 Model 3 vehicles.

I'm not making any claim or dispute regarding the effectiveness of Autopilot, whether or not it's improving. I'm just saying, making that statement you made is meaningless at least and misleading at most.

This approach makes sense for predicting the data. Obviously, one could split the data to run distributed prediction. But, how does this work for training the linear model mentioned here with scikit-learn in a distributed fashion?
If it's a random number generator, it's not ML. If it's unbiased, it's also not ML. ML is always biased based on the data you train it with, just as any student is biased based on the information they are educated with.

Or maybe it isn't a helping hand. Maybe it's just a recognition that the kid, in getting to the level he/she is at through all that adversity, may be displaying more talent than the advantaged kid.

You can think of it as social justice, giving a helping hand to those who need it. Or you can think of it as trying to adjust measures of achievement in order to measure actual talent instead.

> Personally, as a user, I couldn't care less if a page loads instantly or not.

> I do care that AMP pages tend to be terrible in multiple ways, though.

The people who say this tend to be people who use terrible browsers (i.e., all browsers on iOS) where the instant loading comes at the expense of triggering browser bugs that the user can't avoid by switching to a better browser. For people with non-buggy browsers, the experience is fantastic.

That already exists. Use the basic HTML search page. All the aforementioned search engines, including Google, provide one.
There is no reliable citation that you can give to prove that.

Emphasis on reliable, as Tesla's own stats are highly misleading -- they basically compare highway data, because Autopilot is mostly used on highways, to all other conditions in which accidents happen.

I'm sure that if Autopilot was active all the time, the rate of accidents would be far higher, and Tesla's numbers wouldn't look so positive.
But the problem is, that's not how it's presented. The OP stated that it was because they enjoyed having spirited debates and wanted to make sure the interviewee can hold their own (my words, not OP).

If the purpose is to do what you say, then you have to say that. If in an interview you find yourself trying to trick the people interviewing, for any reason whatsoever, you're not clever, you're a dick and your company, by extension, is a bag of dicks.

Serious answer: no. Never. And those who just received money like that squandered them in no time.

Granted this is anecdotal evidence but my overlook on a number of average people flaws -- and I am including myself in this group, I am not pretending like I am on some sort of a moral high ground, mind you -- indicates that most people are not... ready to receive money, if that's even the right word.

It's more or less "OMG money money money!!!!" out of them and they just mess up.

But truthfully, and this is not sarcasm, I'd love to be proven wrong.

You made several bold claims. Do you have any proof of any of them? The statistic you provided is useless without context. In the last 8 months there were ~24,000 automobile fatalities in the US. What's important is how Tesla Autopilot compares to that.

Also, do you have any proof that Autopilot is getting worse over time that doesn't rely on anecdotes?
First line in the Abstract for that RFC:

But that no one shut down the asshole, and that this was allowed to continue happening in an interview situation means that in addition to an asshole guy, there are also a bunch of asshole employees who don't care enough to speak up, or would rather have side conversations with the main asshole guy.

>>> Sure some 996er's at a company at say, the senior management level can be worth it since you do actually get more work done.

Working 12 hours/day is actually more productive for management. Most people look at it from a coder/developer perspective, where more hours does not mean more work given how mentally exhausting the task is and how non-linear the gains are.

(I do not make my technical staff work more than 50 hours a week, and have forced many to take time off / stop working X hours in the office.)

But speaking as a founder/President of a company that has 40 employees, and someone who basically does 40 hours a week of management tasks alone before I do any of my "real job," there is no way I can make my schedule efficient enough to do all my work in 40 hours over 5-6 days. It just cannot happen. I've delegated literally everything I can (I've probably overdelegated to be honest), but senior management just tends to have way more dependencies and a full schedule of corporate partnerships, external sales, marketing, HR tasks, advisery services across various departments, and observation of work and meetings and blah blah blah. I have to work 60 hours/week to get my work done and push the ball forward while I mentor my direct reports and train them. (Typically work 4x12, 1x8, 1x4 WFH).

Yes, a technical worker crushing 996 demonstrably sees exponential dropoff (though I think someone working 80 hours a week still gets more done than someone working 40 hours per week, they just don't get 2x done, probably more like 1.2x), but management is a much different scenario.
I don't think engineers should be using logic like this.

Say you stumble on a lost civilization in the woods, and they have yet to discover any form of shelter. Any time it rains or snows they all sit on the ground and half of them die of pneumonia. What do we, as engineers, do to help them? Tie some sticks together and make a lean-to? That would certainly reduce the death rate. But I don't think it would be the ethical thing to do. The ethical thing would be to help them build proper buildings out of the best available materials, install an HVAC system, fire alarms, etc.

In other words, engineering should seek to maximize benefits for users, and there are cases where choosing not to maximize benefits could be seen as unethical, even if you do provide some benefit.

In the case of Tesla, the ethical thing to do would be to include a lidar which can prevent the car from smashing into large objects at full speed.

Just because the accident rate is lower does not mean this death or all the others are acceptable. Tesla had a choice of whether to use best engineering practices, and they chose not do.

The reason they are doing this is money. They couldn't sell cars with an expensive lidar on it. And they shot themselves in the foot by charging people thousands of dollars for future "full self driving" capability. Now if they don't continue forward with this plan, with no lidar, it will have serious financial consequences for them.

Note that other self-driving companies have found a way to make lidar financially viable for them. It's not impossible.

Tesla is killing people for money.
I'm on the other coast, not even in a major tech hub, and we do a take home assignment now to screen applicants.

They choose from 2 languages,and an experienced coder is done in 5-15 minutes. A fresh grad maybe 45 minutes.

The tasks have no practical work application, and are just code samples.

If they pass this and a phone screening, there is a live challenge as well -- the take home version we give people 48 hours (their choice of weekday or weekend). In person is time boxed and part of the interview, but is the very last stage and usually simple functions to rule out people that needed help to get to that point or simply had someone else do all the work (which we've already had come through our small 10 person te team)
>Pilots aren't always that eagle-eyed, and it is of course much more difficult at night.

I would not place blame with a pilot who is cleared for landing, and fails to see something on the runway. Even if they are making a good faith effort to scan the runway, it's hard to see things from the sky with your eyes.

>It will take crashing a jet before the industry decides to take this seriously, and it is entirely possible that a terrorist group or state actor will use this weakness.

I agree it's an issue that should be worked on, but I think it's much more likely (as a parent pointed out) someone will simply fly a drone into the airspace.

After all, bird strike incidents are a major cause of crashes:

>The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates bird strikes cost US aviation 400 million dollars annually and have resulted in over 200 worldwide deaths since 1988.[56] In the United Kingdom, the Central Science Laboratory estimates[8] that worldwide, the cost of birdstrikes to airlines is around US$1.2 billion annually. This cost includes direct repair cost and lost revenue opportunities while the damaged aircraft is out of service. Estimating that 80% of bird strikes are unreported, there were 4,300 bird strikes listed by the United States Air Force and 5,900 by US civil aircraft in 2003.
