The title of the page clearly says “Future of Driving”

“Autopilot today and full self-driving capabilities in the future...“

The page then goes on to define what Autopilot is and concludes with this:

“Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.”

I have friends on the Indiana Ohio border that are only offered ISP from a monopoly, ISP offers one plan $45 mo 60/40mbps. They have the first fiber optic Network ever laid in the country from adelphia cable but Time Warner Cable bought it and turned it off 20 years ago.
Can adding more satellites solve that problem?

Binary isn't ideal. Nobody needs a half dollar; too much granularity.

And this tended to be the beginnings of violence in communist revolutions. It typically ends when the distinction between proletariat and bourgeoise dissolves into revolutionary and imperialist or party member and non-party member.

Take China for example. The country became relatively peaceful internally once it became acceptable to merely not oppose the communist party, compared to the "revolutionary times" of the civil war and cultural revolution.

I feel like good research on how and why revolutions arise, communist ones specifically, is lacking. We do not understand their initial conditions. Maybe we must turn to Marxists or communists directly for this understanding.
I wonder at what point people will be able to say "It's not my fault, the Algorithm made me do it" and have that accepted as a valid excuse by a majority of society.
Feels like, yes, if you go by what the commenter you are replying to said. But read the page for yourself before deciding. It is not as the commenter described.
At least in the SF Bay Area, rural areas have better internet than the suburbs (not counting places covered with small ISP fiber to the premises).

Example rural ISPs. East bay:

https://www.unwiredltd.com/residential-internet.html

(3 up, $50/mo, 6 up, $89/mo, 9mbps up, $129/mo, no caps)

South bay:

https://www.surfnetusa.com/services/

(Lots of plans: 5 up, $40/mo, or 18mbps up, $103/month, no caps)

I’m paying comcast $80 for 6 up, 1TB cap. It’s nominally 75mbps down, but performance is sometimes too slow for netflix 1080p (3-6 mbps down) during prime time. They won’t sell me a cheaper plan.
Essentially the same in that an electric guitar is a few pieces of wood with some hardware and electronics. How well those pieces are put together and the quality and specs of each component makes the difference.

The type and grade of wood used will also affect the string vibration and what overtone frequencies are refected back into the strings. It takes 20-40 years to mature a mahogany tree so while your boutique makers will spend the time to source the perfect timber you won't get that for a mass produced guitar.

There are guitarists who swear by their guitar tech who will adjust everything from bridge height, neck tension, even reseat and glue the neck before they pick it up the first time. I pulled the neck off my old Charvel more than once to get a lower, more even string height along the fretboard. Second time I filed back a few frets that had nicks or weren't quite evenly set and sanded the epoxy coating off the neck and replaced with shellac for a smoother raw wood feel.

Ask HN: If your Back end is Elixir/Phoenix, what is your Front end Stack Like?
I love using Elixir/Phoenix to build APIs. I find myself wishing for Elixir on the front end as well. Have seriously considered ReasonML/React but have concerns about hiring if I ever expand.

We need to break this down and examine it part by part and in whole as it’s extremely ambiguous to me what this is saying.
Be careful, Google announced a "$10 Billion annual revenue run rate for Cloud".

Note that "Cloud" includes both GCP and G Suite - my guess is that G Suite is a very large portion of that total, so GCP alone is much smaller.

Did you see the old Cubans at Versailles (or for that fact all over Little Havana) celebrating Castro's death? Did they look like the rich of Cuba that fled. My father in law was a farmer, they took his families farm he was essentially poor, when they took it and destitute after the fact, he was sentenced to death at 16 for speaking out. He ran a mine field, after escaping prison to claim asylum by setting foot in Guantanamo, most Cuban's take their chances by boat because it is safer. It's delusional to think that communist systems have not been given their fair shake. They all failed and they all failed spectacularly due to the fact that they have a propensity to kill their own people when things don't go according to how the pie in the sky dreamer, dreamed it up.

I think those count as "blue states with moderate Republican governors," in quadrifoliate's mind. Very recently, Illinois the state trumped Chicago the city and successfully elected Bruce Rauner (Republican businessman) as governor in 2015. The result was the Illinois Budget Impasse. [1] Rauner was swiftly succeeded by a blue Governor in the next election.

I think the above poster's point is states like Massachusetts (Deval Patrick->Charlie Baker) or Illinois tend to zigzag between blue governors and red governors, which shows they aren't "Republican controlled" like truly red states.

I don't think having two different syntactic ways to write the the same thing - at a purely syntactic level - is a violation of TMTOWTDI. After all, Python already lets you write:

f(a)
f((a))
(f)(a)
(f)((a))

etc. and those all mean the same thing, and no-one finds this confusing.
I don't understand why everyone keeps repeating this "tone deaf" sentiment. A time when many people are unemployed and looking for work is exactly the right time to launch a campaign educating people about additional job opportunities they might not have previously considered. There literally couldn't be a better time.

I don't look at the Jepsen reports as being a representation of hubris. Most of what Jepsen finds may have been preventable problems, but they are also fixable problems, which is why I don't see hubris.

There's just a reality that we don't really build these systems on top of a distributed operating system. They're starting with an platform abstraction that is already terrible imperfect for the job. There is a ton of pressure to get something out quickly and make it accessible to a broad set of developers rather than to do it correctly (MongoDB is perhaps the most classic example of this). I was building big data systems in the early days, and the whole mentality was that you were building tools that were riddled with flaws, limitations, and outright bugs, but in the right context would make capabilities accessible to a broad set of developers that were otherwise completely off the table.

The truth is, if developers were already experts at distributed systems, they wouldn't need or want most of these tools; a LOT of the value is in accessibility and having something that is "good enough" rather than correct. The products reflect that more than they reflect hubris.

What I do see is a combination of marketing and customer ignorance that does believe in silver bullets and belief that these tools don't have to be understood to be effective. It's an unfortunate byproduct of focusing on that accessibility over correctness.
I've got a Model 3 and a Model S. It took me about a week to get used to the central placement of the sole Model 3 screen and lack of a dashboard, but now I prefer it. The dashboard is always in my eye line yet frustrating blocked by the steering wheel. The Model 3 screen is off to the side where I can ignore it (most of the time), yet the information I need is close at hand when I want it. My impression is that it was initially a cost-saving measure, but I think it's a huge improvement over the Model S.
The thing is though, it isn't bait and switch. Everyone know exactly what it happening. I remember learning it when I was 7 - it isn't difficult.

I get that it's weird if you aren't used to it, but it really isn't the big deal people (that don't have to even deal with it) make it out to be.
Forking is the answer, if you don't like the where a particular group is going with an open source project. Fork an old version, and perhaps you will find some others who prefer it that way.
Not sure if that's a good thing. I know that structure exists all over the world though, in countless regulation contexts. So in practice, maybe it's OK.

The answer is yes. Being an "expert" in one field does not make an expert in another. Knowing how to perform brain surgery does not make you an authority on vaccines.

Yeah, I can definitely relate. I had a PS4 before and was super happy with it, especially since it was such a huge step up from the computer I had at the time. Then I got a nice PC upgrade...

It's not just the resolution, but the actual graphics/rendering capabilities are substantially better: shadows that accurately match the shape of what they're cast from, high detail even on distant objects, faster response to control input, etc. It makes such a difference in how immersive the games feel, which is a big deal for me. Going from Witcher 3 on PS4 to all-maxed-out settings at double the framerate on my PC was like night and day. IMO, you just can't go back. (comparison here for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo5Nh9am3RM )

I spend a huge percentage of my time in games just exploring and looking at stuff, appreciating the immersive nature of the worlds people have crafted. This is even more rewarding now with a nice gaming PC setup :)
I would like to see more than just toy benchmarks. Also, can you provide any information on theoretical basis of this?

I can see this carving out a space for low value tasks.
Thank you for the article. I have a question. The "democratization of machine learning" link in the article is missing and I'm wondering what can that term mean. Can you explain? What is "the democratization of machine learning"?

I am copying another comment of mine to address this. The point is that I am calling Musk an idiot because he has a long history of being an idiot. The comment was more addressing him also being an obvious con artist, but I think his idiocy shines through.

~~~

[...]I am not denying that he is talented and he probably has a > 105 IQ.

The Autopilot controversy is just a straight con job, and a very stupid one. The BS about the $420 stock price was a horrendously stupid con job. His disinformation mongering about coronavirus - when he is smart enough to know the truth - is also a con job, both for his fans and his workers. Deliberately under-counting workers injuries at Tesla plants is conning safety regulators - it's not as dumb as Elon's other cons, but it's a con. Removing safety markers because Elon doesn't like them aesthetically is maybe not a con job but it is remarkably idiotic. The PR-motivated stuff about Musk engineering a solution to those kids trapped in Thailand - straight-up con job, and one that blew up in his face due to his idiotic and narcissitic use of Twitter. Hyperloop (remember that?) was always a con job, and one that was so transparently stupid that nobody but Musk could have gotten away with it.

I could go on. The point is that I am calling Musk an "idiot conman" because of

a) his well-documented affinity for conning his customers, fans, investors, and government agencies

b) his well-documented acts of being a huge idiot, including in his planning and execution of most of the above con jobs

That'll no doubt be down to the configuration of the terminal device. It'll likely only TX on the available bands allowed in the devices home region for licensing/compliance issues.

Back on the tracking side of things...

AFAIKR 3G and above do not leak their IMEI/IMSI unencrypted. Of course nearly zero phones show or warn if encryption is used or not (though I think that's a setting in the SIM card).
There are microcontrollers that you can program on an easy-to-use USB-based development board, that lets you debug C code with a breakpoint debugger. Your program is stored in flash memory on the chip: you can just unplug it, and plug it into your project board.

If you're going to use a microprocessor with external peripherals for everything, I'd just bite the bullet and go for a MC68000.

I have that Microprocessor Systems Design somewhere (Alan Clements), from many years ago. I remember the MC68000 examples circuits and code in it are not too bad.

Here is a possible consideration: the MC68000 has DTACK line with wait states for accommodating slower peripherals. The 6502 is synchronous: it expects peripherals to respond according to its clock, on time.

That's probably unlikely for SpaceX given that they've slashed the normally sky-high barrier-to-entry for this endeavour.

Man you could have told me you were flamebaiting, it would have saved me the trouble to type that.
> It's not really the car design

I think it partly is the car design. They were the first manufacturer trying to make a mainstream car which was designed from the ground up to take advantage of being a BEV (for example with batteries flat under the floor). Others always based their electric car upon an existing ICE design despite the ensuing compromises.

The problem with Mohists was the fanatical level of utilitarianism in the philosophy. Art is a waste, if you have time for art you have time to do something productive. Music is a waste, both in producing instruments and wasting time. People chafe under such strict precepts, like with the Legalists.
It doesn't seem to me like the comment section is weird at all. This is kind of a perfect object lesson on pitfalls of writing a persuasive blogpost.

Basically, if you want to argue for a somewhat controversial conclusion, you shouldn't back it up with even more controversial and unsupported (or weakly supported) premises. Particularly if "even more controversial" means "in disagreement with the vast majority of your industry."
You can have both. See the useful links at the bottom of this page [0], here [1], and here [2]. It requires ingenuity and discipline to maintain a S.A.F.E. zone, but it’s not impossible.

I remember reading but can not find a link about how people experimented with different landscape strategies (I think in Canada?) to see which techniques worked best. The best strategies were able to withstand the worst varieties of fires.

In short, “we” know what works, but applying the knowledge is expensive and works only for individuals. It’s hard for the government to compel people living in wood cabins to get a metal roof and to clear a hundred foot perimeter of forest.

Well, that gets to my other lesson: Save money aggressively so I'm not beholden to any employer. It's harder when you're taking care of a family on one income (and not making FAANG money), but I saved aggressively when I was young and single. I never actually had to use that option, but I was in a position where I could have lived (as a single healthy guy with no debt) for 4-5 years without needing a paycheck. I wouldn't have lived well mind you, it would've been tight to stretch it that far, but it was possible. My main mistake was putting too much in my 401k. I'm set when I retire, but I still don't have enough assets to get me to retirement.

This works even when you're on a visa, but can take longer to be truly comfortable. I had a classmate in college who'd secured a work visa. His plan was to work for perhaps a decade in the US, save aggressively, and then return to his home country. Salaries in the US were 10x higher at the time than in his home country. Saving even 20%/year meant saving 2 years' of income every year he worked. And he was frugal enough to save a lot more than that. Invested well, taking what he learned back home, he would be set for life at this point (I didn't stay in touch so I only know the plan started well, not how it turned out).
Maybe look into a job at NIST? It's not exactly the work you describe, but I've been blown away by some of their stuff.
