The developers could add 6dof roomscale tracking relatively easily by adding an intel 265 (https://www.intelrealsense.com/tracking-camera-t265/). The unity integration is very plug and play. The 261 can also be used but must be bought in trays of 8.
The idea is to endeavor to be right, rather than purposefully cutting corners.
I've known plenty of manager types that have a very little understanding of the technology involved with their product. A lot of times they try to parrot what their technical team is telling them. Some can be very good at it, other sound like idiots because they have little true understanding of the technology. But that's okay, since their true expertise is in putting together a company or organization that outputs a successful product. It requires being able to manage and inspire people to get the best from them. And countless other parts that I can't even imagine. It does not require a CEO to get too deep in the weeds of the technology. A CEO does not have to know everything, he just has to hire and manage the people that will do the parts he doesn't know. Technology has very little to do with that but expertise on how people work and function has everything to do with it.

BTW, they sound like idiots to the people that understand the technology but that's a small subset of all people. Most people have even less understanding than the CEO. So they get influence by his charm and finesse. What most people would call BS around here.

Mentioning the reusability of the shuttle is not "dragging Elon Musk", please get a grip. I am a fan of what SpaceX is doing. I would not drag on Elon Musk by criticizing the accomplishments of SpaceX, there are far better ways to do that.
Uh, check the history of BABA for one? Alibaba was heavily funded by the provincial investment fund of Hangzhou, a CCP entity, in the 90s. As Alibaba grew, the CCP's holdings, and its hold, on BABA only grew further.

Jack Ma is pretty much the useful idiot for the CCP, for most of the history of Alibaba.

EDIT:- to answer your question to the other commenter, take a look at Amazon. Amazon was largely loss-making for most of the history of the shopping portal, and is largely fueled by associated services such as AWS and prime. Considering Alibaba's less than admirable position in those sectors, it's hard to fathom how Baba managed to remain profitable still, without extensive government support.
I don't understand why it's relevant to watch a video of someone who is not Musk as a comparison to Milton.

I'm not claiming that the Head of AI Research at Tesla has said stupid things (I don't think he has), I'm saying that Musk has said stupid and nonsensical things that don't make semantic or scientific sense, and in comparison to Milton their hucksterism is just a difference of degrees.
Adding complexity you don't need is a bad thing, but the alternative presented is what exactly? Build packages of my software for each distribution my customers use, and tell them to write custom scripts that will bootstrap chroots on each production machine, install the software in there with the distro's package manager, then set up systemd unit files that will run those with systemd-nspawn?

>When you are the head of a revolutionary startup that's competing technologically with existing companies, you can't afford to be one.

Of course you can, you hire people to understand those things for you and make them work. Do you think the bulk of innovation, design and execution comes from the CEO's own head? Not even Elon Musk is that integral to his companies or their output.

Due to the frequency division/time division duplexing nature of 3GPP protocols, a mesh network is very challenging and non-trival. The 5G standardization has some study items on multi-hop networks, but that is a ways out and I’m not sure how and if it will even manifest in the standard.
I stand corrected regarding the flank attack / collateral damage confusion. Thanks for the link.

You have no considered first strikes, which are an important factor. For example Japanese samurais (Macemen) have 2 first strikes and Musketmen are not effective against them.

Then, because cities have a tile bonus for defense the AI might prefer defending a city rather than engaging in a regular tile.

As an invader you can protect yourself in hills and forests, and also using rivers to your advantage (there's a penalty for an attacker if it involves crossing a river) until you reach a city, not to mention a coastal drop.

But I really do not think Musketmen are as powerful as you say. They're the first gunpowder unit and a good defensive unit, but are not an unstoppable force.

Then, once cannons/artillery and air units come into play, death stacks are very vulnerable to them.
THIS is the way of the future. Hell, it's not even the future anymore. TLDs should have been the very first thing that got decentralized. (ok, SECOND behind money) ICANN is a monopoly whose corruptness should be criminal. Example: they make Google a partner to sell TLDs as a registrar. Therefore, google can give priority and precedence to searches for TLDs on ICANN's registry and not a competing registrar (like Handshake). Before this (Handshake), where could you go to get an alternate competing top level domain? Answer: nowhere. It's a monopoly by definition.

Speaking of USPS: I shipped a package from Japan to my home in San Francisco, 3 months ago. The package arrived two days ago. I opened it... And realized the content has been "replaced" with junk books of (I assume) a similar weight of the original.

The content was a few ceramic plates, a few books, some tea - nothing particularly expensive, but these were items that we bought during our stay in Japan.

I hate this. I hate the person or persons that have done this. I pretty much feel my own person has been violated.

Also, knowing USPS, I'm certain that nothing will ever happen to these THIEVES, and that there will be no easy way for me to force them to open an investigation.

Sorry for the venting... But I somehow had to express this inner rage somewhere, and when I saw this thread I couldn't resist.

It's a lie when they tell you you can buy a car ready for full self driving when that will take longer than one lifetime, yes.

SpaceX promises or goals or whatever are less egrigious. It's clearly providing a useful service (stuff to orbit for less money), but nobody is giving them a bunch of money today for a ride to Mars maybe later. Same with the Boring Company; it'll become egregious if they trick a municipality into paying for something, or leave an unfinished tunnel sitting around for years and years (but longer than the Seattle tunnel, cause even non-imaginary tunnel machines have problems)
He's the head of AI and self-driving at Tesla because Elon hired him to do exactly that and understands the approach they're taking.

Ok, I would not have expected that.
Reaching Mars in 4 years is the goal. He has always thought that was a stretch goal, as has been clear on every single presentation he has given on the topic. (BTW, NASA has a stretch goal of 2024 for landing people on the Moon; they acknowledge it is a stretch goal, and it probably also will be years later. Does that make NASA liars?)

But I'd say there's a greater than 50/50 chance of SpaceX landing people on Mars in Musk's lifetime. But that's not even THAT remarkable... Their actual goal (self-sustaining Mars civilization of at least a million people) is 5-6 orders of magnitude grander than that, and almost certainly won't occur in Musk's lifetime. Musk acknowledges that.

You aren't "holding people accountable to the goals they set" in any useful way—and in return for the "Silicon Valley bubble" comment, which I suppose is meant as a slur against me for saying what I've said here, I'd like to invite you to get over yourself.

Setting extremely ambitious goals and trying your level best to achieve them is a virtue, not a vice. If you let some weird disdain for Silicon Valley (which is in fact a place/state of mind which I do not inhabit and whose culture I strongly dislike) rob you of your ability to get excited about great efforts toward building great things and/or solving great problems, that's nobody's problem but your own.

The LLVM way of doing C++ is basically a wet dream when it comes to C++-isms e.g. not many C++ projects do their own dynamic casts and get away with it.

LLVM is fairly well-structured, especially compared to GCC. I don't find it scary but it is a big fat fucker of a codebase.
US investment banks, which provide plenty of loans and mid-life funding for non-public companies are also deeply entangled in Washington. Facebook took In-Q-Tel funding. Google bought mulitple In-Q-Tel-funded startups.

That doesn't mean that the companies those banks fund are ran by idiots and sock puppets, it doesn't mean that Zuckerberg is a CIA-planted useful idiot[1], and it doesn't explain why Google is the most popular search engine in the US.

Just because you've taken government funding, doesn't mean the government does all the hard work of operating you. Just because you need to be in the good graces of the government to run your company doesn't mean some government bureaucrat is going to do all the hard work of building a trillion dollar business for you.

I must also note that I utterly fail to understand how the ideas you express can be reconciled with the success of all these firms, and also the HN zeitgeist of 'government bureaucrats are incapable of doing anything well.' They must truly have a better class of bureaucrat in China, given that they've somehow built a profitable trillion dollar business without anyone noticing. [2]

[1] It also doesn't mean that he's not doing useful work for the three letter agencies.

[2] Given how wildly successful these alleged bureaucrats seem to be, one can only image if the Soviet Union[3] got their hands on those folks. We'd all be driving Ladas, drinking vodka, and speaking Russian.

[3] Which is an actual example of a country where the government did run its businesses. For some reason, though, it didn't spawn any trillion-dollar e-commerce startups...

Leave it to HN to jump to nitpick something as meaningless a wyvern vs a dragon but not even take 5 seconds to check the primary source

Another one I've been partial too lately is recutils (https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/), it's similar to sqlite but has the benefits of being minimalist and plain text.

Generally I prefer actual code based configuration though, there's only a small subset of people than can read and edit these config formats but would be unable to configure something like DWM through real code (https://git.suckless.org/dwm/file/config.def.h.html) and this approach gives far more flexibility without code bloat. Once customization through config is removed it's only machine-to-machine configuration that changes and these are easily handled by TOML, INI or even environment variables.

I really like the cargo cult note. There are a lot of people building runways in the jungle hoping planes will land and bring cargo, so to speak, in tech. These people can and do make it into public markets (see Nikola) but it’s even more prevalent in private markets. It’s more important than ever to have technical people in private equity, not just VC.

I recently wrote a TOML parser in Idris2. It's a cool language, but has some quirks. For me, it's that it's just a simple KV store with some sugar (that's nice!) but it also means that a lot of information is lost forever in parsing. For example, these two documents are strictly identical:

[info]
name = { first="bob", last="jones" }

and

info.name.first="bob"
info.name.first="jones"

This can be seen as a positive (it's a really simple document) or a negative (it's hard to machine-generate nice TOML, and it's easy to think there's more to the structure of a written document than there is).
> Do neuralink or boring have successful products? or just demos of already existing tech?

Are complex, difficult, expensive products or services usually built and launched quickly? Do they occasionally require long cycles of iteration? Maybe the iPhone should have been thrown away at version one.

It's 2005, does the Falcon 9 exist yet? Geez, we're waiting. It's obviously all vaporware, a fraud, they could hardly launch the Falcon 1 without it exploding every time.

It's 2009, does the Model S exist yet? Geez, we're waiting. It's obviously all vaporware, a fraud, they'll never mass-manufacture electric vehicles.
Absolutely. I also see the same FOMO dynamics at play. In Theranos' case a huge part of it was wanting to support "the female Steve Jobs". In Nikola's case it's not wanting to be left behind in auto tech while Tesla takes the lead.
I'd also totally take that Mars bet. But I wouldn't touch the other three bets, I think OP is on the right side of those.
> Tesla buying Solar City was put to a shareholder vote (I voted yes along with the majority).

Elon staged fake product presentation a month before the vote to gain support for the acquisition [1].

> Those shareholders should be happy now with the outcome of letting Musk do what he wants.
> I'm not convinced any of this rises to fraud and none of it is close to what Nikola is doing here.

It's not a fraud because it worked? Same as Nikola - if they end up delivering some products in the end and their stock will keep on going up, then they it doesn't matter that they lie now?

> The solar roof also does exist and they install it, I'm not sure how that's fraud? https://www.tesla.com/solarroof because they buy parts from China?

Tesla still doesn't produce any type of solar roof, that was suppose to be their huge technological advantage. It's same as if Nikola instead of producing their vehicles will become dealership for Nissan Leaf.

Main difference between Nikola and Tesla now is that Tesla did deliver some products so far, but both companies are using hype and lies to gather funds and generate more hype. Given how much founding Nikola gathered so far, unless the whole EV bubble explodes, they'll also likely deliver some products.

This is a superficial view that does not account for the advertiser's ability to price discriminate via advertising. For example, say there is a Batman movie coming out, and I sign up on the Batman website to find out when/how it is released.

The movie folks now know that I am very interested in this movie. They can choose to target me for a small coupon advertisement, knowing that I will likely claim it and consider it a win.

Simultaneously they can target people on FB that they think are Batman fans (but who have not signed up for their email list) with a more generous coupon.

So while I am seeing advertisements for relevant products, I may be seeing less-generous offers than I would see in a world without tracking.

> relying on the 'fake it till you make it' mantra betting other people's money on the outside chance they can figure out how to do what they claim they already do before everyone else catches on.

This really does seem like the de facto path to unicorn status. SoftBank and WeWork, Theranos. I would also throw in the soon-to-IPO Palantir and Snowflake. Both seem to be held in the air on pure hype on incredibly lackluster fundamentals. Uber is a decade old now and no one knows their end game. They seem to either be holding out for all taxi services to die off so they can start fleecing their customers, or on pie-in-the-sky hopes of a self-driving fleet of vehicles (owned and insured by who, I wonder?) I personally don't see anything "free market" about these obvious market manipulations via heavy subsidies. This sort of winner-take-all behavior will likely hurt consumers and choice in the long run.

But back to your main point, this is just the Minimum Viable Product nonsense taken to its logical extreme. How often have you seen the advice to just toss together a demo, fake website, or whatever and collect email addresses and/or get customers paying real money upfront for a product that is pure vaporware? It's the very first thing people tell you to do to verify a market. I have yet to see a startup that wasn't a little bullshit. Perception is reality today. That's what all these "fake it til you make it", "move fast, break things" type of people remind you, relentlessly.
Having gone through the process of self storage recently I am surprised and not surprised to see this. It sounds like such a compelling product and I can imagine you're going to make the lives of the small business owners running facilities very happy. Great work peeps :)
