Like my own his English is good but not that good. His seems the right way to explain (there probably is a formal description for the style of writing (and a word for it in German)) but when reception is not guaranteed (I keep feeling like I almost got his point.) I would lower myself to explaining by code example. Something like a "hello world" of usable vs re-usable. Someone more skilled in the art should probably address note 6 ( https://www.ufried.com/blog/reusability_fallacy_3/#fn:6 )

Parts of applications, by popularity, should be re-implemented in API's.

Parts of API's, by popularity, should be implemented in modules.

Parts of modules, by popularity, should be implemented in frameworks.

Parts of frameworks, by popularity, should be implemented in (higher) languages (then lower)

Parts of languages, by popularity, should be baked into hardware.

(Unpopular parts should migrate the other way around but that is not important right now)

Historically problems in fresh veg supply has translated into higher prices for both meat and grains as consumers switch their preferences.

The futures markets for grains and meats are both running lower right now. The pros think that demand is going down due to economic activity and the supply chain issues aren’t going to make a dent in that.

I have no position but the reading of the markets is that no one is worried about food yet.

It is already known that there is some association between intelligence and, for example, race. The underlying causes, whether they're wealth disparities, cultural attitudes toward intelligence, or genetics, don't change whether it's right or wrong to discriminate by race.

>38% of the people hospitalized with COVID-19 are between 20 and 54. [1]

This is odd statistic to give, considering it's not normalized by how many 20-54 year olds are there. So I clicked through to the original study[1] and found a more helpful figure: people between the ages of 20-44 have a hospitalization rate of 14.3%-20.8%, and an ICU admission rate of 2.0%-4.2%.

In store: you need to have someone stock the shelves, someone walk through the store and pick groceries, and someone handle the payment in person. Chance of infection: depends how long since someone coughed in the store.

Online: you need someone to stock the orders and wait for people to drive up for curbside pickup. Chance of infection: low.

Surely the second option is both safer and more efficient?

Sneaker stores rely on exclusivity so the bots used by resellers are considered a problem. Of course, the real problem is the idea of exclusivity in the first place but that’s besides the point.

Supermarkets don’t have that problem - their goods are not that exclusive and not sought after at scale (anyone wanting to resell the products at scale can get them cheaper from the manufacturer directly).

Like all robotics, a solution needs someone willing to develop expert domain knowledge, not a generalist software engineer with an enthusiasm for the latest out-of-the box AI techniques. And part of that expert domain knowledge is almost certainly going to be knowing to start with something easier than strawberries. My best guess is apples, but I'm not that expert.

But, since you provided a thoughtful analysis of why strawberries are hard, here are some thoughts on the problems you mentioned (to be clear, I don't think I'm solving strawberry picking in a random HN comment, I just thought it was a thought-provoking problem to discuss):

> If you apply too much pressure, it will mulch

My robotics knowledge is super out of date, but AFAIK applying a reasonable amount of pressure is stupid hard. Can you avoid ever touching the strawberry and just always grab it by the cut stem?

> The second tricky bit is that you want to pick strawberries with the right amount of stem remaining

Always grab too much stem, then trim it down on the way to the bin, so you can do this on a known background instead of the middle of a green mess. The trimming cutter may even be designed to round down the stem.

> This is again a very "feel" based movement, too little movement and you miss the berry, too much and you damage the plant.

Can you get away with combing the entire plant to the side, or is the plant fragile too? Failing that, a robot can stick its eyes right in there and scan every strawberry-sized voxel of space.

At this point everyone is in immediate danger of catching the virus, the ill and the elderly are just the ones less likely to recover from it.

Kdenlive 20.04 Beta Released (video editor)
That 38% figure is not relevent in this context, because it does not control for the demographics of the population in general. 45% of admisions are over 65, despite the fact that >65 makes up only 16% of the total population [0].

Further, according the the underlying report, of the 22-44 year olds admitted to the hospital, only 2-4% went to the ICU. The 75–84 bracket had 11%–31% admitance to the ICU.

Of the deaths reported, 80% were over 65, while the other 20% was 20–64.

Yes, this virus can kill anyone, but statiscally speeking, it is far more likely to kill you when you are old. If there is a limited supply of a protective messure, we should prioritize giving it to the far more vulnerable.

I work on IOS-XR, a router OS written in C.

I agree: UT is a pain to write precisely because you need to spend quite a bit of effort to stub out your dependencies. And when you do stub things out, they usually end up being “dumb” stubs where the function just returns EOK. Thankfully, there has been a recent effort in XR to leverage the Cmocka test framework to make stub functions a bit smarter.

Even if you have great UT, there is a bigger issue: the UT only tests and validates your code, but does not validate interactions with other components. With a system as complex as IOS-XR, there are non-trivial situations that you simply cannot trigger with UT.

This is where IT shines, imo: you can bring up a full router and test all known interactions at the system level. The test runtime is much longer, of course, but in my experience, it’s worth the wait to avoid hitting the issue down the line.
No speedometer required in Texas.
I think the terms normally used for this is "completeness" and "soundness", as in, the D type system is "sound" because it rejects all programs with use-after-free, but it is "incomplete" because there are some programs that cannot exhibit use-after-free for any input values, but that the type system rejects.

Given these more precise definitions, the analogous theorem would be that there is no type system (or static analysis) for use-after-free which is both sound and complete.
Isn’t this something you should be asking your manager or leadership? How are we supposed to know what metrics are important for your company for you to hit?

>Web queues are ineffective as shown by sneaker bots. You’d need actual ID style authentication of accounts.

...and that's rendered ineffective by SaaS bot companies that take your account logins and payment details and places the orders on your behalf, for a fee of course[1]. The economically efficient solution would be to auction off the slots, so at least the grocer is reaping the profit rather than some third party. It also has the benefit of capitalizing the grocer so they can hire more people and/or buy more equipment so there are more slots in total. Also, if it bothers you that some FAANG programmer can afford deliveries than some old granny, this can be alleviated by reserving a certain % of the slots to "needy" people (eg. old, disabled, sick, immunocompromised) subject to validation.

My guess is that people are getting infected at the grocery store and returning home to infect their family. The lines at my local Costco are as long as ever. People are behaving as if Coronavirus spares them while they purchase necessities, as if it operates by some chivalric standard of warfare. Most grocery stores are doing little to stop this. News organizations and public officials are barely saying anything about it too, even though it is probably the most common inter-cluster infection vector at this point.
Texas state inspection doesn’t require it.
Since designing and perfecting new, highly parallel programming methods is hard, I can imagine stretching current approaches.

Spread ALUs and simple control units across RAM cells, there's little needed because the RAM is its own registers. Some distant big control unit will send out instructions to the processing units, and orchestrate I/O. A bit like GPU but with a different set of constraints. Likely it could be made compatible with OpenCL or CUDA.
A large (probably over-size for most users) EV battery is 360MJ.

It seems reasonable we should be able to fill the EV battery overnight, let's say 10 hours between we plug the EV in to charge (empty) and expect to find it full.

So that 36000 seconds, and conveniently that gives us 10kW power input. Which sure enough is about 40A.

So, not "a lot more" electrons. Transitioning other energy uses to electricity will increase the load at individual homes and to the grid but it isn't an order of magnitude thing.

A mistake commonly made here is that people look at energy equivalence charts and they assume that 10GJ of gasoline means we'd need 10GJ of electricity to do the same job. But in fact ICE is hideously inefficient, we used it because it was convenient and for no other reason, so electric cars have always been several times more efficient than 1:1 on that basis - that just wasn't good enough reason to switch before.

It's not about what median families spend weekly on groceries, it's about your average order value and that's $20-30 by my guess, maybe dragged up by some big orders but you'll find that people who order in bulk won't want to pay 10% and that most of your orders will be for near the minimum you set.

>But unfortunately there are a limited number of per day delivery slots

I guess the idea is to put everyone in one queue, rather than having separate queues per day/slot. Presumably this isn't an issue since everyone's on lockdown anyways, so they're always available to accept a delivery.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that makes sense. :)
You may never show symptoms and still spread it. Everyone should be wearing masks in public, if you must be out and near anyone else. The title of the post says it all.

I understand your position, but often the memory leaks in your runtime are not your fault — https://www.joyent.com/blog/walmart-node-js-memory-leak

I had to do the same thing to get an Amazon Fresh order. Well, not quite the same thing, I ended up writing an Selenium project that automated the Amazon Fresh checkout process till it got to a delivery window page that didn’t complain there were no slots available.

If I can’t get groceries, it’s not the end of the world for me, since I can call on family if necessary, but I’d rather not make their stressful life any worse right now, since I’m not the only one in my family’s circle that needs help.

There are no great answers, since I might have taken a slot from someone that can’t write a web tool to scrape Amazon, and doesn’t have a family to fall back on. It sucks on many levels.
It's not simple as that, and that's a problem that people have been working on for a long time. Some crops need to be reengineered to be friendly to mechanical pickers:
