> how does he even know how it would affect sales?

He doesn't know - but he feels he does not need to take the risk to find out because the stakes are too high for him (since he'll need to borrow from a bank or his retirement savings).

I'm sure those who feel strongly about the potential on HN, reddit and elsewhere could band together and crowdfund/formally pitch Jeff on an investment in an artist for a subsequent game and capture the upside while shouldering the risk - he probably would be happy to take the money; he's not ready to put up his.
Keep in mind that the vehicle already has all the sensors to do collision avoidance and navigation.

The remote control can be to tell the car "drive this path" instead of direct control of the vehicle over a high latency link.

It's not so much a problem with the watch as it's not really in line with the way I want to interact with my watch.

As I've gotten busier, I prefer a pull model, not a push. I block off parts of my day and don't want to be disturbed. It became a hassle to police and that's okay.

I originally bought it to give me a better sense of my activity level. I now understand that and will continue to use it for workouts but it's just not interesting as an every day wear sorta thing.
The difference is in the magnitude of work. When contracting he's going piecemeal which gives him substantial oversight on each and every piece to ensure it turns out the way he wants. For a full time artist, this would be micromanaging and isn't really conducive to a great working relationship. Add in remoting and it gets even weirder. What are you going to do, mail them every hour for updates?
NYC has 5 4-track trunks moving 10-car trains through its densest core. If that's insufficient, then the only thing that's going to improve throughput is getting everybody out and having them walk. And there are places (hi Times Square!) where that is insufficient to move the demand.

NYC has a throughput problem. High speed doesn't improve throughput, it worsens it.

The interviews I’ve seen of Musk subordinates (particularly engineers but also middle management) has consistently included statements to the effect of, “We are always terrified he will walk into a meeting, go way deeper than we are prepared to discuss, come up with a simple solution that evaded us for months, and walk out thinking we are all idiots.”

The guy has plenty of flaws, but he’s apparently terrifically good at synthesizing complex technical data in an extraordinarily wide range of topics, and arriving at solutions that others missed but look obvious in retrospect.

I think that Musk was the first and the only one to propose, build and continuously operate reusable rockets capable of autonomously landing at a fraction of the price per launch of whatever existed before.
And the only one that made possible a safe landing of three rockets in the same mission with Falcon Heavy.
Do you have any proof that anyone else did the same before him?
This is incorrect.

Predicting motion once you have small time slices and very accurate 3d representations is very very easy. You can easily calculate expected paths. You have to remember that computers see the entire situation at the same time. A bike doesn't just cut off a self-driving car the same way it does for a human. Humans are slow, our increments of time are large and in the hundreds of milliseconds and we can only focus on a couple of things at a time. A computer will notice the slight change in velocity and acceleration within single-digit milliseconds. Then it just has to predict the probability of collision. These calculations are simple.

Deciding what to do in these situations can very much be efficiently hardcoded using decision trees. No one right now working on self-driving cars dares to use a neural network or any other unexplainable & unbounded ml algorithm for policy. You have to be able to hard code in new edge cases as they emerge. You have to be able to study specific crashes or incidents and then adjust the decision-making scheme to specifically avoid that situation in the future.

Truly, the hardest problem is taking in data from multiple sensors, segmenting it, and then labeling it. All in real-time. The sensors are faulty and super expensive. There are also so many different objects out there. If you actually look at the ancillary startups in this industry. They're not working on "common-sense" general intelligence algorithms. They're working to make better & cheaper lidar. They're working on computer vision problems. They're working on image segmentation.
Interesting how butchered my setup is, out of all those things I've only seen the 3d objects folder.
>> Heinlein’s 1959 novel Stranger in a Strange Land, which owned a species of cult-status through the 1970s, can be read today only with vicarious embarrassment.

>The reviewer dislikes this genre. OK. But it's like sending someone who hates horror to review a history of horror movies. The review tends to say more about the reviewer than the subject.

I grew up reading Heinlein. I've read it all; the short stories, the juveniles, the late-period novels, the early and late nonfiction essays, the recently published "lost" works. I consider him and Asimov among my formative influences.

I very much agree that Stranger can only be read with vicarious embarrassment.

I've heard this, but it refers to the model S (which KBHD has). The model S is VERY complicated, there's like 20 computers sprinkled around, I think there's even one in the doors. The parts are sourced from numerous manufacturers and were not designed together. There's multiple control networks, etc.

The model 3 was designed with much closer to a clean start over from what Telsa learned. Radically less parts, radically less cables (I think it's 10x less), and things that should be centralized (like the computers) are. In fact they have won some awards, look up the Tesla "superbottle".

I've talked to a many model 3 owners, am active on various Tesla forums, and there's a pretty lively slack channel where I work. Things do seem MUCH better with the 3 than the S, at least older S. It does seem like Tesla is updating the model S over time, but it's maddeningly hard to track exactly what those changes are.

In any case don't hold the S against the 3, it does seem like they improved quite a few things with it. Time will tell if they do similar with the Y, they at one point claimed they could do another 10x reduction in cabling.
> The reviewer dislikes this genre

That's not what I got from this at all -- it sounds like the author of the review seriously detests the science fiction authors in the book and that that distaste carries over to the things they've written.

> . . . the study’s exposure of the selfish, banal, and prurient little world that his group of contributing personae, all of whom knew and socialized with one another, constituted. Nevala-Lee himself treats of that selfishness, banality, and prurience rather indifferently, as though it neither shocked nor repelled him. Perhaps the ambient moral relativism has inveigled his outlook.

That lack of objectivity makes me suspicious of the review more than anything -- not only does he dislike the subjects of the book, but he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that he's loud about it.

Another example:

> Hubbard’s vulgarity and lewdness mark him as the most repugnant of Nevala-Lee’s cast of characters, but Asimov earns his place next to Hubbard in the repugnance category. Lascivious and self-licensing, he regularly mauled women and tried to seduce them. When science fiction conventions became a feature of the genre, Asimov would patrol the floor and greet strange women by fondling their breasts. . . . He was running his own sexual con-game.

Without bringing the truthfulness into question (I don't know either way), those are some serious claims and he's not at all making it clear whether this is from the book that he's reviewing or whether he's going off on his own with "everybody knows this" facts. Either way, he should be clear about that -- and if it's the latter, it really has no place in a book review unless to point out the omission, in which case he'd still need to be clear about the sourcing.

It sounds less like he's reviewing a book and more like he's taking the book to use as a soapbox to vent.

To be honest I really don't want concrete repaired. It's not like a steel girder that get exposed to rust but can otherwise be swapped out with a new piece. If concrete is cracked there is a reason why: something shifted. Raze and rebuild because the earth will never stop settling and/or shaking. Don't they bust up old concrete into new gravel and concrete as well? Probably cuts down on how much land needs to be quarried.

> I used to be depressed and wanting to take the easy way out, now that I have two little boys

This is what I don't understand. You were depressed, recognized life as meaningless and without persistence, and yet you felt like it was a good idea to bring someone else into this world?

I'll truly never understand the rational of people who are able to convince themselves of what they want to hear. I gather that you weren't all that depressed to begin with, and your view of the world not very bleak at all, if you felt like bringing other lives into it was a good idea.

That, or selfishness is something you're not averse to.

Can someone elaborate on this? I thought all that matters for carbon balance is biomass, and vast majority of this comes from trees, so diversity doesn't matter as long as there is enough trees.

It's not even close. A per-byte loop is going to be be 4-6 times slower than the 8-byte chunks + a little math shown in the question.

Let's say that all the stars align and you process an entire iteration of the byte-by-byte loop in 1 cycle. On a 4 GHz machine thats ... 4 GB/s. That's paltry compared to main memory bandwidth of 30-100 GB/s [1], not to mention say L1 bandwidth of ~ 256 GB/s (available to a single core).

This idea that everything is memory limited it just false: it's pretty hard to write code efficient enough that it can be limited by memory _bandwidth_ on a single core.

---

[1] Admittedly, a single core can usually only access 20-30 GB/s of that, but that's still >> 4 GB/s.
I'm also very curious about this. There seems to be a big gulf separating genuinely math savvy people and people with mediocre understanding of math, despite the resources being available to both. I'm curious if there is a/are common denominator(s) between the math-savvy people, like a habit or a loop that I slept out on.

Well, I'm certainly open to being convinced otherwise. And I have made efforts to understand the world. Existential thinking is not foreign to me, in the slightest. That's lead me to - among others - books like "Why does the world exist" by Jim Holt.

Ultimately, despite everything I've read and watched, including an upbringing in the Christian church... I can only draw the conclusion that we just don't know. We have no idea if there's a super being, but there's decent reason to BELIEVE that there isn't. Belief ironically, IS what it boils down to. I just don't believe in 2019, that the likelihood is an all present God.

It's 5 years, which is in the ballpark of a typical timeframe for ownership of a new car.

Yes, as cars get older they get less reliable. This is likely to be true of the Tesla, too.

The number is kinda baked into the real resale value, anyways. A good part of what subsequent buyers are willing to pay is based on their inferred operating costs.
Thank you for the information! The idea that the rest of the press did not mention his origins reminds me of another part of the original article:

> “Sometimes we get clients coming in saying, ‘The neighbourhood is full of Tunisians – thank God you guys are here!’” he said, referring to him and his wife, who works alongside him in the bakery. “But we have Tunisian origins too.”

That's another interesting thing to me - which makes me also think about what you said:

> What I've always found interesting as a Frenchman living in North Americ, is that there's no real equivalent to "black american" or "afro American" or "hispano American" in French. The closest you'll find is "of Tunisian origins", but that's usually left out, and not really the same.

I think the core truth here is that even though the effects of racism and xenophobia are quite pronounced, and cannot be dismissed, that all these terms are "made up". I was trolling /pol/ one day and I had someone say to me that the French people weren't "white" which is, truly, consistent with some conceptions of whiteness. But, the most strict original conceptions of whiteness that were made in the 1800s said that Scottish and Irish people weren't white!!! It seems that these sorts of identities twist and change over time, because there's no underlying truth to them. Imagine the rage and fury of those who see white purity as possible when they encounter white hispanic people, or white slavic people, or southern Italians (who made up most american-italian immigrants) saying they are white.

So I think the identity of "Tunisian origins" is just as valid as any other racial identity, and just as indistinct. I don't think the American categories are any better or worse, but it is an interesting point of difference.

Why are you pirating windows AND paying?
Probably no point in writing this but my takeaway from that movie is that falsehoods were used by both sides to persuade people on the fence.

Somehow we should try to stop that.

Also I think that the left and right worldviews and news streams are so divergent that effectively we have people living in parallel universes.

Obviously the answer is not to create a forced authoritarian "unity" of state-prescribed reality, but the parameters that structure the extreme polarization should be changed somehow. Less biased or completely false reporting and news could help but seems unlikely at this point.

You're probably best off asking around on relevant forums about what works best on your particular machine. Of the mainstream distros, I found Fedora was by far the best OOB for my current laptop (XPS 15 9570), but I don't get the impression that's universally true.

(Tangent: though likeable in many ways, Fedora was still too much fart-arsing about for me & after a few months I went back to Windows. I don't like it, but then the sad state 2019 has brought us to is that all desktop OSs are rubbish, so 'not liking it' is an unusable choice criterion).

I don't really understand why more people don't go this route. It confuses me to see things like people living in places like Seattle/San Francisco when it's not strictly necessary. The amenities and interesting folks you find in these cities are not unique to these cities. The only things that seem very unique to them, in my experience, are the rather high salaries which, consequently, leads to an extremely high local cost of living as everything inflates in price in response to the salaries. Makes it a reasonable decision if you're drawing on these salaries, but if you're not...?
This isn't new at all. Politics has always been a cesspit of lies and manipulation. Goes back thousands of years.
