Yes. Cruise has been "fake it til you make it" since their original demo video. Now "all vehicles shown on road are renders" in fine print.

Here are the CA DMV's autonomous vehicle accident reports for 2019.[1] Cruise has a lot of them. Mostly being rear-ended by a human-driven car. A surprisingly large number are with the vehicle being driven manually, or right after the human driver took over. True driverless still seems a long way off given those results.

I've seen Cruise cars in SF, most recently making a left turn off Union St in manual mode.

GM's first try at self-driving, Firebird III in 1958, was far cooler than this mini-bus thing.

The mini-bus area seems a good place to start with self-driving. I was once thinking airport parking lot shuttles. Controlled environment, low speed - that could work. But the financial numbers don't work out. You get rid of the driver cost, but you add sizable engineering cost and vehicle cost, and you don't sell many vehicles that way. Local Motors and some other startups have been struggling quietly in that space for years now. Local Motors' Olli has three live installations, with about six vehicles total, all very recent. A college campus, a casino area, and a dedicated track at an industrial park are the public installations. Demos, basically. The thing is so slow that walking might be faster, and any bicycle or electric scooter would be much faster. Not fast enough to get people from Economy Parking to the terminal.

Navya, from France, seems to be further along. They provided the self-driving shuttles for the Las Vegas strip. They have a number of live mini-bus installations in Europe. They've announced an autonomous cab, but it is not deployed yet.

This is still something that can only be done if someone is willing to finance a money-loser. However, this is perhaps the best time in history for that.

Redis persists to the filesystem pretty regularly by default, and can be configured to do it much more often. For example, the recommended configuration for its AOF persistence mode is to fsync every second, but you can set it to fsync after every command if you don't want to risk losing even a single second of commands.

Expedia is indeed the first result for "Expedia", after the 0-2 slots of advertising that may or may not be Expedia. If Google can't monetize the search results page, why are they obligated to provide the search results in the first place? Until Google recoups the costs by showing ads, the relationship between Expedia and Google is one sided: Google provides a lot of traffic to Expedia with nothing in return. How is that fair?
That FOMO is real. In some cases, ddg is similar to earlier versions of google where second or third link was more what you wanted but all of the links would be somewhat interesting if not relevant beyond first pages.

Google now a days is optimised for top links and page only. If you didn't find what you wanted there, then the rest is not what you are looking for. Anything after first page on Google is 90% useless. Anything beyond first few links is useless. And those first links have a good chance of being filled with ads.
This has been proposed and it seems like a credible strategy. The actually implemented versions seem to always end the competition phase relatively early so they are not very good experiments for validating the idea.

People likely downvoted you because they didn’t feel the comment contributed to the discussion. They may also have felt it was dismissive or likely to cause acrimony.

I think it’s best not to take this stuff personally. It’s take a lot of effort to maintain a high level of discussion on Hacker News, and people try to help out by downvoting comments that seem to need downvoting.

I’ve had comments downvoted and even flagged. I felt upset at first, but then I just decided to view my communication skills as a work in progress.

> Speed - S3 is not very fast, even accounting for network delays. Latencies of 20-50ms are par for the course

I've used S3 in past projects. These numbers are in line with my experience. And frankly, I'm good with them. S3 is dirt cheap compared to EBS, and it IMO doesn't generate a lot of production incidents (compared to, say, AWS RDS MySQL). The latency is on the high side compared to some things, but if the user is doing an "upload" operation of some sort, 50ms is tolerable, IMO. And it always seems to be way more efficient that just about everything else, in particular, it's usually next to some Mongo/SQL DB that is stuggling under the load of feature creep. S3 has basically never been on my bottleneck radar.

The biggest thing I find people doing wrong, particularly in Python, is a. failing to keep the connection open (and so paying the TCP & TLS handshakes repeatedly when they don't need to, which adds a significant latency hit) and b. making boto calls they don't need to, such as "get_bucket" which in boto will check for the bucket's existence. You almost always can guarantee the bucket exists as a precondition of normal system operation… and the next call to GET/PUT object will fail anyways if something is amiss.

That theory is quite possible. If the police join the group, they know the usernames of all of the people in the group, they can then start adding numbers to their contacts and if any of the usernames from the group show up they can then look up who owns the phone number in the government database.

They would have shipped Go years sooner if they didn't waste their time re-building all the basic plumbing of a compiler suite. To leverage LLVM would have been to implement a basic front-end just like LLGo did. They'd have received instant access to an optimizing mid-end, optimizing back-ends and all the architectures that LLVM supports today and will ever support in the future. Any optimizations they'd made to LLVM would have made all LLVM clients better off. Instead, they chose to buff up 9c.

Is LLVM bigger? Yep. Slower? Probably. Is that because it's some wildly inefficient monstrosity? Nope. It does a lot more, with a lot more flexibly, and it does it a lot better than the Go toolchain. One day when Pike & Co get around to implementing all the optimization that LLVM has, it'll be just as big, and just as slow, mark my words.
Doubt it's not a big deal - it's just not known the value of these people killed, and who is doing it, because people don't fucking read - ironically.

Thanks for the feedback.

OpenAI said they used multiple processes (it seems that they used multiprocessing module from your link). Processes is handled by OS and, it depends, sometimes will only switch to another process on long CPU stalls. I used an event loop to manage that, which supposedly should be fixed those long stalls.

Also, this version runs on a single CPU while OpenAI's probably won't, given a multicore CPU. My initial thought was that extending using multiprocessing is much easier than wrapping it using an event loop, hence I only implemented the event loop part.
Google gave us a lot, but that does not mean they should not be criticized. Without emotion I can say that using Google is far worse today than it was in the early 2000s. Besides delivering the results in a much more readable format, at that time we were able to search specifically in forums and there were a lot of advanced features like "linkto:" that are not supported anymore.

The problem I see is that Google does not care about us Geeks anymore. They are 100% focused on consumers now, and that sucks a lot.
My major takeaway was how cheaply they tested this idea. Waiting for someone to sell this as a provider-as-a-service to VCs, so they can quickly get a real world estimate of TAM.

For $1k in spend and a day's work, they had a nice data point that tested TAM assumptions.

* Landing page is a template, figure 4-8 hours to put together the couple hundred words of content and configuring assets

* FB Spend = $509.23

* Estimate Google spend around the same (numbers not specified)
Waymo also dabbled in these cutesy future car designs back in 2014 [0], and later just decided to stick with vans.

While it is clear that self-driving cars won't have steering wheels in the future, these prototypes are jumping the gun and a waste of time. As Waymo quickly realized, you can iterate much faster staying away from these futuristic prototypes.

Very curious about the downvotes on this one. Trump has clearly demonstrated time and again that he is not above egregiously and obviously breaking the law to further his personal interests.

I usually start with DDG (it's my default search engine on all the devices I use) and then quickly move on to !s (for Startpage) since DDG still is lacking in the quality of results for many searches. It's a bit rare that I go to !g (Google search).

I imagine it kind of like this...

Two stores, A and B are competitors. I visit company A and say that I'll stand at the entrance of their competitor, store B. I'll tell each customer trying to enter store B about store A and attempt to refer them, as long as store A pays me $0.50 for each person I try to send their way.

This works, some people that drove to visit store B now go to store A instead. Now, store B is getting annoyed at me "stealing" their customers, but I have a solution. I tell store B the more money they pay me, the less likely it is that I'll refer their next customer to store A. So, store B starts paying me $1.00 each time someone tries to enter their own store, and in return, I do nothing but stand there.

A year goes by and I'm standing at the entrance of every store in the country. I collect a dollar when someone tries to enter every store, and I do nothing but let them pass.

ColdFusion / CFML was essentially that. It started as a pretty simple tag language that made it very easy to implement basic web application logic. Its ambitions in the beginning did not go very far beyond building websites and connecting to a database.

ColdFusion was probably the only language of that era that was easier to learn than PHP.

And you way under estimate how much work it takes to make and maintain a proper dark mode across a site. If it was truly 3 lines of CSS, every single website out there would have native dark mode.

I completely disagree on the quality front. I really wanted DDG to be good and I tried sticking with it for a while. I found usability (reads keyboard shortcuts, special keywords, etc.) a breath of fresh air compared to Google. But it's no substitute for the significant lack of quality results. For when you don't really need search it works great.

Is that necessarily a bad thing? For centuries we've had to pay to access content and products. Many people, if not most, are starting to not want to trade their data for these; thus we go back to the original business model of trading them for money.
Or add "w" keyword for https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s&go=... bookmark on Android Firefox and then search with "w searchstring" from its address bar.

It's silly that it's necessary to create separate bookmark for this, though. Native search engines, surprisingly, don't support keywords there.
GC is OK if the only resource your program needs to manage is RAM; and, in particular if time is not among them. There are many such programs, including the favorites of Computer Science, such as compilers.

Add a single other resource, and now you need resource management. Once you have resource management, memory is the easiest thing to plug into it.

If you start out having resource management, you never wonder whether GC would be a good idea. GC turns into a solution desperately looking for a problem, and finding none in your neighborhood.

I can feel you. I had exactly the same feeling when working for a big german cooperation. However let me tell you that the grass is not necessarily greener elsewhere.

One thing you mention is domain knowledge. This actually also a big problem in the US tech companies. The people fluctuation is so high that after some years nobody might really know anymore how a certain component works. This is not that much of a problem in german companies.

Also the bigger german cooperations have I'm aware of had better planning, project management and QA than things projects I witnessed elsewhere (sample size is obviously limited). While that sounds like more bureaucratic effort, it still reduces the chaotic aspects in projects and improves the chance they will finish on time.

Honest question: what distinguishes DDG from Google or Bing? Why shouldn’t they (or won’t they) follow the same trajectory as our once beloved “don’t be evil” Google of the late 2000s?

I’ve used DDG off and on, and I think the interface is fine (perhaps better these days as Google seems to have gotten worse), but I see the idea of selling clicks as being too lucrative.

Are we just rooting for the downfall of the incumbent / the rise of the underdog?
Clicks are noisy and have their problems (especially clickbait), but as far as ranking goes they still blow out of water everything else you can use. Analemma_ is right on the money. We need more Lemon Pledge^W^W clicks!

Speaking as someone who worked for another big web search engine in the past (not G, not B)

And counting good/bad clicks for a given (query, url) pair is just the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot of other interesting stuff you can do with them _if_ you have the data. Deep learning/NLP with clicks as training signal is probably the most exciting area to me, to name one. Unfortunately almost all of the data currently gets nabbed by google, other search engines are just getting by with the scraps. And it's very hard to bootstrap a competitor from scratch - for example Cliqz had to resort to some shady deals with Mozilla just to get any data to start with.

FreeBSD is an easier desktop OS than OpenBSD. Supports lot's more out of the box, more 'modern' desktop environment, etc. Whether or not it's a better desktop environment is a matter of taste. OpenBSD is lighter weight, more uniform and more minimal. Old school. For some, that's better. I run OpenBSD on lower-end/older hardware (it runs awesome on a Thinkbook 42T or 43T), and FreeBSD on modern stuff.
> dependency pathing is a pain in most other languages

This has been a solved problem in the Ruby community for nearly a decade thanks to bundler. When I first started writing Ruby it had all the same problems as other languages, there were various attempts to solve it (similar to virtualenvs) but nothing really worked properly. Then bundler came along, and even from early releases it had pretty much figured it out.

The way it works is by having a human generated manifest file with a list of libraries you think you need (Gemfile) and the tool will then fetch those libraries (they can be installed in a vendor directory or globally for the specific Ruby version). You don't need to specify versions or deps (but can if required), as when the tool runs it will generate another manifest file (Gemfile.lock) which lists the versions of all libraries and their dependencies. Both files should be committed, so when you coworker checks out the project they know they have the exact same versions as you. There's another command to list outdated libraries, and to upgrade all or a specific library later.

The tooling checks the versions of libraries on every execution (unlike npm or yarn) and spits out an error if your local versions don't match the manifest. It automatically creates wrappers around binaries so you don't need to prefix commands from other tooling. There's built in support for installation in a deployment environment, so you don't install testing libraries there.

Together with tools like rvm/rbenv, it makes managing multiple Ruby versions and multiple projects, just work.
