Are you saying people see Musk as a necessary "evil" to fight off a bigger evil (in the form of oil companies) and so they forgive his misgivings in a sort of utilitarian calculus?
I've never done it, but I've toyed with the idea for one primary reason: accountability. I might just ignore the viewers, or maybe I'd interact and gain some insight about the problem at hand. Either way, just knowing that someone is watching and expecting me to do something (preferably on a schedule) would be a good motivator to actually do it.

> the devops movement actually kicked off

And this is why every single project out there is now a house of cards (or should I say house of YAML files) using insanely complicated technologies (like Kubernetes) with very "interesting" failure modes to say the least.

This attitude works today because of engineering-driven-development; the whole purpose of engineering is engineering and business priorities took a backseat in favor of buzzwords on the careers page and an obligatory "engineering blog" (describing how they solve self-inflicted problems), however when it comes to reliability and solving problems a large majority of projects can get away with much simpler, old-school technologies.
Could you share some info about the switch to gRPC, not for the authors benefit, but for the rest of HN? As someone not familiar with this story, I’d be very curious for your insights!

I Learnt How to Code (As a Non-Technical Founder of My First Startup)
Given that Uber is infamous for its extreme NIH syndrome, unnecessarily reinventing the wheel and spending enormous amounts of dev effort to create internal versions of products that already exist, I think it's relevant to the article to point out that the author almost probably had a key role in that culture, and what his philosophy leads to if taken unchecked.
That was not the bet, we’re talking about the national number. I might still lose, it looks like there has been a statistically significant bump in the past week, and it may continue.

Some of it must be due to spread in the southern states, where (by no coincidence) people spend more time indoors during the summer.

Some of it may also be due to the “July effect” which I did not know about:

Also, yeah, out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made. People get things wrong sometimes. It sucks and we should use our freedom of speech to help correct those errors, not argue that freedom of speech should be shut down.
I want to make constructive comments about this blog post, but the way it conducts itself makes doing so extremely difficult because nothing about it is constructive. This is troublesome for HN - I almost wish I could flag it for being impossible to discuss without turning into a flame war. It feels like several disjointed complaints based on a desire to jam any and all inconveniences into a unified narrative about Modern Software and Google. Dismissing CoreOS is the opener, but there’s almost nothing on the page that doesn’t wave red flags in some way, and I’m trying desperately to be open and objective.
Weird to see Joe Rogan here, he literally just parrots whatever his guest is saying. Used to love watching until I realized he just repeats whatever sentiment his guest is saying.

He had Stefan Molyneux and Gavin McInees on, and never once challenged them on their white supremacist views.
What a breath of fresh air. The author is spot on and cuts right through the bullshit.
Unfortunately, there does seem to be a massive lack of consistency on which intolerance to tolerate.

Since we’re talking about Bari Weiss, Israel serves as a good example. While the left is typically critical of Israel and their “racist”, “apartheid” state, they generally have very little to say about their overtly anti-Semitic neighbor states. I’m sure there’s lots of criticism to go round here, but whoever is talking, the conversation rarely feels objective to me.

Sounds like what happened was

1. the complainant told google to delete something

2. google says no

3. the complainant complains to the DPA, who agrees with them and fines google 600k

The implementation of "right to be forgotten" is problematic. It forces service providers to take down content on the request of a complainant, without going through judicial approval. It's up to the service provider to render a decision, and if they wrongly refuse the request, they could be subject to a fine. This is problematic because there's almost zero incentive for the service provider to keep the content up, and plenty of potential downside if they keep the content up. Thus, the "safe" decision is to always comply with any request, regardless of merit. This is the same problem with DMCA, where every request gets rubberstamped, because if you don't comply with the request and it later turns out to be valid, you lose your safe harbor status and can be held liable for the infringement. Needless to say, this effect is terrible for free speech on the internet. Also, unlike court, there isn't any "defense" so to speak. Who is supposed to be representing the public interest or the author?
I think the sigil for 'raise to the power of' got dropped in that line, rather than that the author did not understand what it did.
It is somewhat alarming to see this hostile and dehumanizing language (referring to "all media" as "infected") and makes me automatically skeptical of your point-of-view.
Depends how you define success. Streamers get viewers through consistent stream schedules and heavy viewer interaction + engaging "high-level" content where what you're doing is actually impressive (i.e. high level competitive gameplay in a video game).

By that definition no code streamer has been consistently successful on Twitch, Youtube Gaming, or any other platform. The closest to it would probably be Hikaru who is a GM chess player.

The issue being pointed out here isn't that the computation is out of sync with the outside world... it's that it's our of sync with _itself_! It will return answers that are not just stale, but inaccurate for any time in history.

I'd love to see some examples of when similar designs to these were deemed to infringe on the patent, and when they weren't. Just froom looking at it, it seems fairly ridiculous that stuff like this can be patented.

I kind of get that maybe you'd want to have some sort of protection for general flows / modi of interaction, e.g. the whole tinder social idea as such, but some of these layouts are just general UI patterns that don't really set a company apart IMO.
Immediately went looking for how to be a reviewer or who reviewers currently are (vetted), but didn't find anything? Clicking into a package I'm invited to leave a review where I see it's tied solely to my GitHub login. Not bad, but hard to see how the reviews are approved or curated. The centralization could be nicer than having to read a bunch of blog posts to get the gist but I'd rather defer to a proven community (like Debian's package maintainers) for guidance on JS packages. That's not a thing today, so maybe this project is a good first step.
Though given the chances of it working at all are questionable you could argue that's not such a big deal.
Agreed. They probably maintained the term "recommended reading list" since people are used to it instead of inventing a new term like "recommended media" that wouldn't make for an exciting headline.

Looks like a pretty close translation of the same thing on the US site:

That's great! I'm glad you liked that interview format.

On every chapter, there's a quote. This particular one has a Zig Zigler quote because it matches pretty well with the content of the chapter.
It's also almost certainly true. Whether you think LIDAR-based systems are the way to go, there's no doubt that full self-driving based on cameras is possible given the right software. That's what humans are, after all, so it's "just" a matter of building the software to drive that hardware.
Elon is a master of saying something that's technically correct, but sounds like something completely different, something that people want to believe and is completely untrue. So the car has "full self-driving capability" but is not actually self driving. The "basic functionality for L5 will be done this year" but not actual self driving [0]. Autopilot branding comes from the same strategy.

Steel can indeed burn (although it's not a fuel/combustible). Anyone who's done any blacksmithing with coal will most likely have first-hand experience of steel burning.
An under-appreciated aspect of this "war" is how bad US companies have been at building ML-first products. ByteDance in particular is just fantastic at it - their products feels designed with the algorithm in mind, as if everyone involved in the development has some understanding of machine learning. This exposes some weaknesses with existing social media platforms that were built before the deep learning boom, as he says in the article. It is probably worthwhile for American innovators to think about what otherwise-impenetrable areas this could expose.
Agreed. The limitations of the C-64 lead me to learn a whole lot more about the internal workings of computers than I think I ever would have learned using something more advanced. Unfortunately(?) that has been the only assembly that I really ever used extensively. Still, it was a great initial foundation.
Similarly, this NASA blog post has some fun facts about the precision of pi that JPL uses in its calculations:

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/news/2016/3/16/how-many-decimal...

* JPL's highest accuracy calculations, which are for interplanetary navigation, we use 3.141592653589793.

* How many digits of pi would we need to calculate the circumference of a circle with a radius of 46 billion light years to an accuracy equal to the diameter of a hydrogen atom (the simplest atom)? The answer is that you would need 39 or 40 decimal places.
I think the GNU coreutils are mostly done.
I believe cost cuts to maximize profit consistently cause an enormous number of people to lose their jobs, yet no one addresses that.
> I don't think it's dangerous, necessarily, unless you ignore people's personal responsibility in the situation as well.

Yes, but let us recognize the stark reality and known limitations of "the people" in the driving public - as Tesla should (and in my opinion did not or does not).

Not suggesting you are, but Tesla cannot hand-wave it.

While their may be an outsized amount of technical persons here on Hacker News that are perhaps aware of at least some of the technical risks and limitations of Autopilot and/or that state of autonomous driving systems in general, it is simply unrealistic and a fiction to expect that the broader driving public is going to be able to safely utilize an opaque, autonomous system with minimal safeguards and written instructions - particularly if they can be easily defeated.

We are talking here of newly minted drivers in their compulsive teen years all the way through older persons who may not familiar with technology nearly at all.

Take some time to visit TikTok and YouTube[1] where it is replete with fans and other owners are "showing off" Autopilot in dangerous and creatively dangerous ways that generate clicks and likes, pushing Autopilot to the limit and/or otherwise not paying attention to the roadway while Autopilot is engaged.

It is difficult for me to fathom that Tesla is not acutely aware of these issues given their focus on social media viral campaigns.

In fact, when my wife and I test drove a Model X in Chicago a few years back, one of the first things that the Tesla salesperson did was to encourage my wife to remove her hands from the steering wheel in Autopilot mode (which she did not). I cannot say for sure if this internal Tesla sales practice is alive and well today, but I would discount it.

In my view, this is and was always a core part of Tesla's sales model to move metal - and, thus, I think that Tesla tacitly approves of the social media abuses I noted above to draw attention to their vehicles (unless they are talking with a regulator or in a court of law). Case in point, other automakers are taking the strategy of installing in-cabin driver monitoring systems in their vehicles and/or limiting the use of autonomous features to certain roadways and roadway types which I think is at least safer in principle given the unsophistication of the driving public.

Tesla could employ the same in their vehicles, but then it would take away a key differentiator in their product from all others. Tesla knows this, so they resist.

Gmail sucks. They use it as a vehicle for anti-competitive "standards" and it's needlessly difficult to deliver mail to. Their new JavaScript-riddled frontends (which they seem to develop and then shrug off every couple of years) have awful performance and are terrible at doing what has ultimately a very simple task for 30 years.

Google Maps is fine. OSM is superior technically but Google Maps only wins because it has access to better data. It's not an example of great engineering, it's just okay.

Google Docs is pretty good. At least it was, the last time I used it was several years ago. I can't comment on the code, which is mainly what I'm commenting on in this thread: their engineering quality. Throw enough monkeys at a typewriter and maybe Google Docs comes out, but who knows what it looks like on the inside.
You know i actually agree with you but, as a manager of other engineers, people never stop complaining about having to edit large amounts of YAML that describe complex objects. At a certain point im forced to acknowledge that its just not ergonomic. Now, I will say that perhaps whats actually happening is the objects that the describe are so complex and numerous that the problem is actually that you need better tools, not that YAML as a format is bad. YAML as used to configure, say Open API specifications, is something people always make my problem. I don't really know why this is because I don't have an issue hacking this stuff up in VIM but people really just don't seem to like it.

It's wasn't a 'whoopsie daisies we goofed up'.

It was a cynical play for market share.
Besides reducing errors, double-entry bookkeeping allows you to follow money flow easily, detect unexplained billings, and get all kinds of reports quickly, like profit & loss or financial statements.

However, to "deploy" it in full power, you must think like an accountant: money (or any other commodity) had to come from somewhere and had to go somewhere. Approaching this way, you can apply it in all sorts of things, like tracking income/expenses, car/house/equipment depreciation, fuel spending... I even tracked gym workouts for some time.

What works for me is ledger-cli [1]. It takes some time to get used to, especially for those who used GUI, but you get powerful reporting and extreme flexibility. For example, you can accept payments in bitcoin, return change in USD, and buy some stocks in EUR with the received money. A nightmare for other tools.

The larger economy is unavoidably global and local policy can't do anything about that being destroyed, it's a consequence of pandemic disease.

But, locally of course elimination means you can open safely. We know that's not just theory because New Zealand did it in June. They have stadium-filling events, because they can now, and so why wouldn't they?

Yes, their border has to be essentially closed to non-citizens and there's much more surveillance testing (ie people who have no symptoms getting tested "just in case") than you'd have without a pandemic, but locally it's normal.

And so I think this actually puts a lie to the idea that you can't trade economy for safety. New Zealand shut down, tested and traced, eliminated the disease, opened back up in about three months.

Will they see economic damage? Yes. Largely because everywhere in the whole world gets damaged. Wishful thinking by Trump aside, this won't be put right by November. But are they safe? Zero cases in over two months for a population of around five million sounds pretty safe to me.
> It seems Intel CPU's have such a bloated and varied instruction set you have to query to see what flavor of CPU you have to create portable code. Writing compilers for this must be a real pain.

This is equally applicable to other x86 vendors.

The alternatives are either (a) never introducing new instructions, or (b) making portable binaries impossible. Neither alternative seems better? It doesn't look quite as tortured in C:

bool has_popcnt() {
unsigned regs[4];
cpuid(1, regs);
// You could name 23 CPUID_POPCOUNT_SHIFT or something.
return ((regs[2] >> 23) & 1);
}

In normal C compilers (GCC, Clang) you can use ifuncs to do this resolution once at module load time, and then the correct function for the current CPU is dispatched cheaply afterwards.

Even ten times that many journalists will do you no good, when what they report is filtered according to some pre-concieved view of the world (or the journalists themselves are only hired if they share that view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nBx-37c3c8 ).
It's unfortunate that you were downvoted for this; you're absolutely correct. No one in China gives a fuck about Marxism, and the CCP certainly isn't trying to wage some ideological war to establish some sort of Marxist utopia. To think so is to completely misunderstand the CCP's motivation, which is a dangerous thing when the tensions are escalating and war could be the result.
