In additional to what others have said, If you have access to some private "non-traditional capital", say a family office or PE, and they're interested in investing in or buying your company, and you'd like to stay somewhat autonomous but still take their money, a spac is an interesting vehicle.
This matches my experience of how Tesla is viewed in the autonomous car industry. No-one thinks they are a serious contender when it comes to a driverless vehicle (and their business model basically doesn't match with the technology either: every other company is basically going to operate a taxi service because there's far more value to be captured and it can help pay for the hardware making driverless possible)
More data makes it easier to train and evaluate systems but will not fix an inadequate approach.

Humans can drive with vision alone because humans are way way smarter than glorified regression models. We have a higher order model of what is happening. I am skeptical that you can replicate this with current AI. The approach of using LIDAR to compensate for dumber AI with more and better data seems more sound.
Thanks that really helped. Seems less shady than IPO via a reverse merger with an OTC stock.
Microsoft acquired GitHub for $7.5 billion. How much is GitLab worth?

> Boring doesn't work if the solution you've picked has flaws that the new technology addresses out-of-the-box.

Problem is, the old thing has known benefits and known flaws, while the new thing has known benefits but unknown flaws.
also Google being short on data given they've been working on this problem for 12 years is a pretty poor argument. If anything, it should tell us how are the problem of self-driving really is.
I agree, the Linux kernel is one of the examples where the GPL really works, because a lot of companies really need it for their products, and they need to distribute it, and there are very few alternatives.
CSS Display Module Level 3 sort of takes this criticism on board and has a more compositional approach to display. It's still one property but the attribute is multi-valued. c.f. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/10/the-two-value-syntax-of-th.... However browser support is very limited, it's not yet in Chrome or Safari, and whether this goes far enough is a matter of taste.
The author only shares his personal opinion on whether he would invest money in FOSS. He is not advocating that FOSS serves no purpose.
The site is definitely not supposed to be the main resource used to learn Japanese despite being self contained. It exists to complement the learning from a more traditional app.
Nope. I'm just a corporate peon.
Also it is so energy intensive to get someone off the planet that space exploration is not going to be a viable way to control the earth's population any time soon.
Driving from SoCal to Utah or SoCal to Tahoe is a long drive. Adding in a 2 hour stop on top of that makes it that much more unpleasant. A quick stop or two for gas, bathroom and coffee is better.

And driving in remote areas on BLM land seems to leave very low safety margin with a tank less than 300.
I came across "spack"[1], another unfortunately named repo recently as well.

Another good one is "nonce" - seen frequently in oauth and crypto - always gets a laugh out of the juniors.

That's not quiet correct.

Just because you write it in your ToS doesn't mean that users agreed to it.

If your api is publicly readable (without any auth which you could only have by agreeing to the ToS), then whatever they write into their terms is irrelevant.

This doesn't apply here however, because you can only sync with Google servers if you have an account, which means you must've agreed to the ToS.

It's also the user that's breaking the ToS, not the developer of the competing browser... But that's irrelevant here in guess :)
Not really constitutions are living documents that have existed for a long time -hundreds of years for older countries like th US and UK.

Why would you not expect a lot of changes
There are several definitions for Open Source that come from foundations and other groups, which push their own beliefs and standards. Opensource.org, for example, pushes their own definition that excludes all those who do not use the perferred license!

However, dictionaries that mirror collective understandings, as used by millions of people, tell a different story. According to OxfordLanguages, Open Source denotes, "software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified." If you look at Dictionary.com. you will see that Open-Source is defined as "pertaining to or denoting a product or system whose origins, formula, design, etc., are freely accessible to the public."

So, no, open source doesn't have a single definition, except to groups who are pushing their own definitions.

> The problem with inlining all CSS is serving all the global styles all over again with every page load.

> You're gaining a great first impression at the cost of a poorer experience for every subsequent page load.

Yep, it's unfortunate we still have to make tradeoffs like this. At least in this case, it's less than 8KB added per page vs something more complicated that might break.

HTTP push was getting closer to offering some alternative like what you're suggesting (the server pushes the CSS file to the client in parallel to the initial HTML page, and the client can say if it already has the CSS file) but it's being deprecated now.
Are you aware how low the deaths per mile is for humans?

I don't think we know if Waymo has a lower rate than a human yet. Tesla I don't know, but wouldn't be surprised if it is higher.
"payback period (before incentives) is less than 10 years."

There is a massive assumption in there that you can have a non-risky investment with a 10% rate of return idefinately.

Given that we can barely go 10 years from crisis to crisis (2008 and covid) this assumption cannot possibly be justified.
It's also possible to add real tests and not taking dog sniffing as a source of truth, but more as an indicator.
Yes, open source gives you developer mindshare, and cheaper hiring, but both of those mean squat if you can't monetize well (and most open source companies I've seen don't).
He didn't say that. You're putting words in his "mouth."
it's not just that. Reading scratched blocks means sometimes it might work, sometimes it might not. lets say 1% of the time you get a good read. If the ECC block is 16k and you always read in 16k blocks, if you get that 1% magic time that the read succeeds, you got the whole block. If however, you read 2k blocks, you need to have the same luck 8x times.

From experience of recovering bad DVDs and BRs, there were discs I had to pass through 100+ times to get a valid read on all blocks.

This is also because, the underlying hardware will always do a full ecc block read (only way for it to determine that it read the block correctly, to read whole block and verify it), so any smaller reads are pointless.
The plastic definitely makes modern cars feel dated quickly, but the tech alone ages really fast. Even simple back up cameras that are 3 years old seem really low definition compared to the new birds eye surround cameras. Not to mention the UIs are laggy, and Bluetooth even feels like old tech now. If it doesn’t have CarPlay or equivalent it’s a downgrade.
Can you recommend some good "The Peter Principle" books? I'm unfamiliar, would love to learn.
Yeah, exactly. The thing is, where do you draw the line of what is statistically so unlikely that you can deem it improbable?

If we run multiple different climate models through some sort of Monte Carlo simulation, I suppose each model would output a different probability of such an event occuring. In the case where all models predict a very low probability, it may be easy to say that it is unlikely. But what if two predict a very low and one predicts a low probability? Is this now applicable and should we build to be able to sustain such an event?

These are hard questions and I currently do not see any way to get better data for the future as the different models still do not agree in many points
"I watched a few hours of early unedited footage posted by Tesla owners who received the new software. The software made a number of mistakes, including two incidents where a Tesla seemed to be on the verge of colliding with another vehicle before the driver intervened."

What, Tesla still can't detect big, obvious obstacles reliably? That's pathetic. A half-dozen cases of running into stationary obstacles at full speed should have taught them something.

Running into obstacles at full speed, with no braking, is quite rare for human drivers. Usually, there's braking, but too late. Mercedes once did a study showing that over half of accidents would not have occurred if braking started about 100ms earlier.

Tesla's approach means the driver has nothing to do until something goes wrong. Then they have to react in under a second. That just doesn't work. That's been known for decades.

Great video on cockpit automation: "Children of the Magenta" (1997).[1] It's an American Airlines chief pilot talking to his pilots about automation-induced accidents. The aviation industry started dealing with over-reliance on imperfect automation a long time ago.

Im anti-robot car ... so many ppl will die for progress with this.

I'm even more after my friend's Jeep Compass's AI system decided to lock up her brakes and steering wheel as she was turning into the bathroom area after the Golden Gate Bridge. The AI said nope im taking over your going to crash and thus you cant maneuver your way out of hitting the highway wall which she did and total that piece of junk; all bruised up too!

I will avoid getting any AI features in any new cars I buy or just buy older ones. Unfortunately, those around me will be driving these cars where their brakes and steering wheel just might lock up too and boom they and or we are in accident. An accident that the driver who could had control didnt because algorithms can never guess the millions of different driving scenarios & execute the right one!
I am sorry to bring it up, but this is about the same as the way I view the response to COVID by our (Western) leaders.
A SPAC has no actual competitive edge in the market. They are literally all hype. As long as the stock market goes up, you probably will make money. But be very careful as if the market turns down, I think these will turn out to be worthless.

Do engineers working full time in a FOSS core team need someone to pay their salaries? Nothing the author said was against FOSS on a volunteer basis. What he said was it’s a challenging business model, unless you can reach escape velocity, and the window for that success is much narrower than simply selling a commercial product from day one.

There are real differences between FOSS that provides foundational capability (network layer, drivers, OS) and application layer projects. Firstly, they largely were built at a different time, secondly they were pure FOSS and not backed by a founding company that relied on it to keep core development going (Redhat’s business backed into Linux, so they benefitted from an existing core).

TLDR a founder who struggled to establish a business based on FOSS is saying don’t do it as a business because it’s harder than you think and can feel like a thankless endeavor.

So you don't think architecture matters that much, but you've felt the pain of having one that doesn't fit forced on you? That seems... kind of unaware of you.

Just-in-time architecture is a perfectly valid approach to developing an architecture. The point is to develop one that is a good match to the problem. If you don't have that, you suffer - and that's the point of what you quoted.

Maybe you are not aware but Japan has a bunch of weirdos (cosplay anyone?). I understand that in Japan you can be as flamboyant/odd as you want as long as you are in the 18 to 25 bracket age (definition of young in Japan)
I like names, but this is a very euro-centric. My ideal "let's talk about names" article would cover a lot more different societies and be a bit more universal in its outlook. There's a world of fun stuff with names in Arabic or Japanese, and how various states try to control what people name their kids.

(Saying this, I understand it's a bit shallow to react primarily to an article's title).

>Moreover, at birth human infants are unable to appropriate names for themselves, consequently, another older person must confer a birth name.

There are groups that don't name babies at or near birth (e.g. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/parents-in-a-remo... leave it for a year, and I can't find a citation but I think I recall some other groups pushing naming even further).

>the nomen, which was a hereditary name (or surname) identifying a person as a member of a distinct gens, i.e., family, tribe, or clan, which constituted an extended Roman family, all members of which shared the same nomen and claimed descent from a common ancestor.

As an aside, if a roman slave was freed, they (at least in some periods) took the praenomen and nomen of their former master. (cf https://latininscriptions.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/resources/resource... . this article also has some details: https://carolashby.com/roman-names/).

Author here. Apple requires you to have a privacy policy available online to even submit the an app for review.

No bad intentions, what's said on the website is true, and you can verify that in the code.
Human drivers fail reliably, in ways that are understandable. Non-AGI artificial intelligence based on a mix of heuristics and dumb statistics (aka 'deep learning') will fail in highly unpredictable and to a human eye completely foolish ways.

The Linguistic Turn: On “Cynical Theories,”
I am not sure how it works on the amiga, but it was a common trick in the PC world to leach power off the DTR and RTS lines which idle at +12v and can provide a few ma of current per the RS-232 specs.

This is also why a lot of peripherals will fail when you use a knockoff 'rs-232' adapter that only outputs +-5v instead of +-12v

I'm not a negative person, but I have to rebut your comment that it's not dangerous. I've been homeless and lived among homeless. It's not unusual to send someone out to befriend people of your type while the rest figure out the best way to rip off everything you own.
Correction: "marginally less tectonic".

To say "faster", it would need at least 100x. Seriously. Python is the slowest language in common use, mitigated only where it turns over flow control to a library coded in a fast language: particularly, matrix math, where it can be entirely tolerable.

2x is absolutely not worth making any adjustments for, when 1000x is readily available just by plugging in a library for the bits where it matters.
Data grids / tables / spreadsheets are different beasts. Always ask yourself what kind of table your SaaS app or website needs:

1) A read-only table for presentation purposes, with pagination and sorting options.

2) A read-only data grid that supports high-frequency updates/redraws, for things like Stock or Bitcoin trading.

3) A data grid to edit JSON/Javascript data, with user-friendly spreadsheet-like controls.

4) A spreadsheet-product, with features like formulas, merged cells, HTML (images) in cells, pivot tables, etc.

They have overlapping features. Most will have sorting, some will have undo/redo, some will have formulas, etc. If a table product has many features, it will probably suffer performance. Some libs are 1MB (minified!)

I have written an (unfinished and biased) article that compares a few data table products, for anyone that's interested: https://www.datagridxl.com/compare.

Not only past climate data, but traditional work arrangements. WFH shifts demands on infrastructure as well. Power, sewage, and so on. Mind you, WFH will eventually fade a bit. Non the less, it does change the lens of how past data / need should be interpreted.

Same here. I run a small game company in San Francisco, and we constantly are donating to help fund projects like Blender and Godot because they're amazing projects that deserve funding to keep them afloat.

But would I invest in an open source company? Eh, that's a different story. I love them for what they are, it's amazing they exist, but I don't see them as an investment that pays you back dividends. Rather, I see them as a useful tool you can make money with and is worthy of your donations.

XPS 9380 owner here. Mine has a very annoying coil whine that's present more or less all the time (it's louder under activity). Same issue with the power supply.

Another very annoying thing is the fan, which is quite loud, and also on most of the time. I cannot even have a single tab open in a web browser, or watch a movie, without spinning up the fan.

Battery life is also nothing special, it's definitely worse than on comparable MBPs.

> What I mean regarding "as if it be ..." is not standard English grammar. Use of the "be" form of the verb (that is not the subjunctive be) without inflecting for tense or person is featured in African-American Vernacular English.

But it is the subjunctive.

“as if” classically demands the subjunctive the mood in it's subordinate clause, if it __be__ used as an irrealis.

I realize well of course that in vernacular English the subjunctive mood has been in decline for the past centuries, so it might not be so commonly used as such any more in spoken English.
