I have [said this before](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19446043 ); Tesla is not on track to deliver Level 5 with their current hardware and apparent software strategy. Piloting a car is a very hard problem, but I would say that Tesla is still struggling with the easy parts of it— they should have solved the "never hit any obstacle" problem to superhuman levels; I think that's pretty comfortably solvable with present technology and algorithms. Instead a Tesla feels about as good in that respect as a careful student driver.

The harder parts of machine-piloting involve interpreting the world (lane-finding in the absence of striping; distinguishing hard obstacles from ephemeral objects like paper, leaves, weather, reflections, and so on); and participating in a social environment (what driving postures indicate what intents? What do the local humans consider rude or polite? What are they expecting?)

(A truly advanced autopilot would seem almost magical to a human— it would be able to back-solve diffuse and specular reflections in the environment, and accurately deduce the presence of oncoming cars around corners that would be totally invisible to a human driver. It could predict accidents several seconds before they begin to play out, and the sudden braking/maneuvering in the absence of any visible threat would seem strange and confusing to the humans inside).

Tesla is nowhere near cracking these things; they're still on the ground floor. I still predict that current pre-buyers of so-called "full self-driving" are not going to get what they were promised, and going back on that will probably be bad both for Tesla's reputation and their wallet. If I had to guess, I'd say that if Tesla delivers on Level 5, it will be with a hardware platform that doesn't exist yet, and a software platform that is close to "complete re-write".

As it stands, their misleading marketing on self-driving capability is both dangerous and borderline fraudulent.

All that being said, I'm long on self-driving as a technology; just short on Tesla's current approach to it. It's a shame because I suspect both Waymo and Cruise are doing significantly better technologically, but I trust in their ability to execute a product significantly less. I'm not sure who will actually crack it.
"I believe everyone can become a good professional as long as they’re willing to learn."

This isn't sexist. I've been told this, and I've told this to junior engineers of both genders. It's not even just a stretch to claim it's sexist, it's ridiculous to. The remark about prioritizing is actually more troublesome, and entirely independent of this comment.

"Some things went well, others not so well. I am not giving you a list specifying each. It has nothing to do with your technical skills; that is normal to have room for improvement. We just feel there is a lack of chemistry with the team."

This is just the way things are, especially in tech. It's not sexist, it's just unfair and dumb and political. And it's applied to all individuals. I've had it applied to me. I've been in management conversations on how to approach others to apply it to. This just isn't sexist.

"Carl is a difficult person to work with. But I trust in you to accomplish this. You will use your feminine approach and you’ll be fine."

"Boys are just predisposed for technology by nature, and there is nothing we can do. I see it in my children: While my son prefers video games, my daughter only cares about Facebook."

These are both sexist. The first one is disgusting and might also border on sexual harassment. The second is a gross demonstration of "anecdotes are not data."
Metrics are not an end, but they can be a start... and they are a necessary part of the feedback loop.
I have some inaccessible (locked? disabled?) accounts setup with backup accounts that when attempting to recover, the recovery form says "email sent" but no email arrives. I still recieve email forwarding from the inaccessible accounts.
These conversations already happen, they just tend to be more subtle. "So and so has made tremendous progress over the last several months, and I think with a little more support and guidance they could really excel...".
Maybe if we didn't throw up to 50% of our food away in "developed nations" there'd be:

A. More left for the rest

B. No need to produce the amount produced right now

C. Reduced impact on the environment

But yeah, let's think about that ,once we do actually have a crisis, as a last resort. Keep stuffing your bins with food you didn't eat and wondering why prices soar.

I strongly believe connecting cars (specifically Tesla cars) to the internet permanently so they can act as a giant data vacuum sucking up telemetry and improving maps is literally the reason why Starlink exists. Level 5 self-driving is going to require amazing map data and real time feedback on the state of roads, traffic, etc. Starlink is a very clear route to getting that data.
Skimming the paper:

It sounds like being vulnerable to this issue and having a performant CPU go hand and hand, but it's interesting to see AMD and Samsung have some resistance to this (although are still vulnerable, just less consistent). Mitigations for this issue would be around partitioning execution units and can be done in hardware or the OS.

Currently working on a Spring Boot Java app.

I got K8's certified and I'm learning Rust, so I will look for those two in my next position. I think those are the stacks of the future.

If you've ever worked with AWS/EC2 and then try out k8's the change is a breath of fresh air.

Also, Rust has no garbage collection and is blazing fast and can also transpile to web assmebly? Yes please.

I personally think the stack of the future is K8's/Rust/Svelte.
Standards cost money because the process to create them costs money. Sometimes governments, big companies or organisations like the EU fund standard development, these then end up freely accessible.

That said, it really shouldn't be this way.
When I worked at a TV station, all the editors had capture and output hardware in their systems. The output only displayed what was in the video preview window on the screen, and it sync'd with what was being displayed in the editor. Most video editors are likely already set up to do this.

I use it to place the blame of someone refusing or failing to understand on myself. The goal is not to signal a lack of investment, but to give someone a way to admit to being wrong without actually having to admit to anything. It sometimes helps remove a person's ego as an obstacle.

It's the difference between "I failed to be understandable" and "You failed to understand". With the former, they can come back and say that since I've clarified so helpfully, they agree with me without impugning their previous position. The latter allows no such latitude.

Current chip shortage is not caused by not being able to build fab buildings fast enough: it is caused by not being able to buy enough of the lithography machines to put in the buildings. (The machines take years to build.) Where are these litho machines made? Europe, Japan and the US. If mainland China makes any at all, they are decades behind the state of the art.

Point is that China's supply of chips is much more precarious than the US's because all the US has to do at the start of any hostilities with China is to make it clear to the countries that export these litho machines that the US will not tolerate any exports of the machines to China.
It's probably next to impossible to imagine an end goal. There will always be 'crazies'.

I assume that most people would like to be treated by their characters. If everyone just started doing that, wouldn't the world be a better place? That's my take on MLK. Maybe it's naive.
It's not so surprising in Australia - protectionism is the norm here, where legally you have to hire an electrician to change a plug on an appliance. Making the standards expensive tends to force the average consumer to pay for the (overpriced) services of a professional.
There's also an ongoing 'cultural revolution' in which older artistic creations are being reassesed by modern political correctness. (see the recent ebay and Dr. Seuss news for a most recent example)

I find this "revisionism" frightening. I fear it'll continue to get worse. I hope it does not.
>An employer has some/much systematic bias in their hiring process and they use this 'positive' bias hiring practice to negate it.

Employers never actually discriminate on anything anymore. Instead, they let the recruitment firms do all that unpleasantness for them.

And you really do need the standard.

I implemented the entirety of ISO 8601 years ago (not just the most common 5% that most people are aware of) -- parsing, representation, writing, validation, and arithmetic -- and there's no way I could've guessed some of the stranger cases the standard explicitly supports, and how, without being told what they are.

I hope I never see some of the truncated and reduced precision forms in practice, since perhaps no one but the handful of people with access to the standard will be able to interpret those correctly. :)

Would it be possible for the camera tracking to confuse 2 people, if there is a toilet/obstruction which means the cameras can't always determine who is who? (It does seem to say in some articles that it doesn't use facial recognition)
> but some of her claims have been controversial among other dentists.

I have a lot of dentist family and friends. Anything that isn't "drill and fill" is controversial to them. :)

Dental school these days seems to really stress that everything must be treated with intervention by a dentist that happens to bring money to their practice.

They are also super frightened of new technology. There was a technology that was like a new kind of mouthpiece with microbrushes that could brush your entire mouth in a few seconds. The dentists I know would barely even look at the picture before dismissing it.

I don't know why this is, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the way their schooling works.
Ho, ho. Graphene has left the lab, but it's only got as far as the hype mill, not the factory. https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/the-university-un... was a notable success though; and allegedly graphene-powered trainers there on a different date.

In contrast, with RISC-V you can put your hand in your pocket for early models, can't you?

Seriously, cash is awesome:

* If I want to get payed quickly for a quick job, cash is the preferred payment method.

* If I immigrate to a country where I am not allowed to work legally, cash would be my preferred payment method.

* If I’m buying something illegal (including labor from a person not allowed to work in my country) cash is the preferred payment method.

* I can use cash to pay for products in the farmstand across the street without any transaction fees or 3rd party apps.

* I can use cash during a week long blackout.

* I can use cash without an internet access.

Parent might not personally use cash. But for many people around the world cash is by far the most convenient payment method. And for many less privileged people cash is the only payment method.

> There's this idea that people must be 100% "professional", non joking, always zen-calm, all the time. That is, dry and passive aggresive.

This idea is likely held by people who have not had a lifetime of discrimination and insults and made fun of for X. When you have been such a victim, being in a professional, zen-calm work environment is a luxury, and honestly not too much to ask for.
Sometimes it does that and usually I just close it and reopen it and it just sort of works for me
We've had a model 3 for 2 years, autopilot has gotten worse over time. It was actually decent when we first had our car, but with every update it's slowly gotten worse and worse. I think it's intentional to either get people to pay for the full self driving package or to keep people from trusting autopilot too much.
It's been done. They dismissed it because when hiring is blinded like that the percentage of ordinary men who get hired goes up, not down. Men are discriminated against in hiring and that fixes it, but the type of people who want "diversity" don't want fair or blind hiring. They want to get trophy diversity hires.
I suppose it’s all a trade off. The pain of jumping through hoops with the libraries mentioned above

With no libraries, modern JS makes being "diligent about immutability (as the article puts it)" straight forward, making the benefits of something like Clojure very small and not worth it for the majority of projects. Having immutability by default pales in comparison to the benefits of using mainstream languages with big ecosystems IMO.
102% of the premiums for 100% of the benefits for 0 time negotiating with the private market and with guaranteed coverage seems... fair?
While A few thousand euros definitely inhibits an amateur from becoming an expert, which is a terrible thing that greatly reduces the labor pool and possibly even some startup ideas, but I'm not sure it would stop many startups.
I am the same, 310 subs here.

I didn't mean to imply this was frequent behaviour, as it's not. My point is more that I can understand Youtube channels wanting to have more control over their distribution and ensuring people who want to watch their content are aware of it, because sometimes Youtube won't make them aware.

I have seen a case where a video from a channel I'm subscribed to did not appear in my Subscriptions feed, and only appeared when going directly to the channel. From reading the comments I wasn't the only person this happened to. Though I can't see whether this was a bug on Youtube's end, or one of its endless tweakings to "the algorithm".
I didn't ask "why", I asked how many times.
I see and I agree with you -- I had misinterpreted the parent post.
I merely refuted your claim of where the competitive advantage came from. It is clearly from the network effect of the first movers. China blocked Google and Facebook so they could not exploit their first mover advantage in China. If US wants to do the same to TikTok for the same reason I am totally fine with it. It is just kind of lame to attribute it to unrelated issues. Of course there is a reason for obfuscation here, at least from the government's point of view. If it becomes the norm in the world to block companies from exploiting their first mover advantage due to network effect across national boundaries, US companies would suffer more.

There's even a movement to replace the term "Blacklist" with a less problematic words such as denylist or blocklist. Of course, "Whitelist" is just as problematic - if not moreso! - and should be replaced with allowlist or safelist.

Edit: The etymology of these words have nothing to do with skincolor, Blackness or Whiteness.

Your coworker was probably referring to the low-FODMAP diet. People say it works and some doctors recommend it, but the data isn't quite there yet. Either way, yeah it's worth a try for people with GI issues. For anyone considering it, the highest quality information will come from your health provider.

IMO it's a workaround and doesn't address whatever core issue someone might have, but often with GI stuff we don't have a "cure" so workarounds are all people have.

Northern Hemisphere summers may last nearly half the year by 2100
Manfred Schroeder's "Fractals, chaos, power laws" (1991) had a similar statistical distribution (Levy? or something else?) which reminded me very much of software. Basically, the longer something has been observed to remain uncompleted, the further away the expected date of completion becomes. If you have to slip, slip big.
Reposts are fine on HN if a story hasn't had attention in a year or more. The purpose of listing past threads is just that people might enjoy reading them.
You point out the flaws of one potential implementation of such system and reject the whole concept? I think it's conceivable that there is an implementation of such concept that would work better than not having it.

Example off the top of my head: Don't have one board decide which papers are cancelled. Have multiple. Have git repos with lists of cancelled papers. Have a process for finding which papers are flawed due to citing cancelled papers from a particular paper. Have browser extensions that tells you if the paper you're opening is carrying such flaws. Allow user of such extension to pick which board they trust. Have the extension link to a discussion about why the paper is cancelled. Give ability to challenge such claim in the open. Etc etc.

I'm sure many more such ideas can be found. The problem is probably rather funding of such system or if whoever funds it would have the right incentives to begin with.
It sure would be easier to build software firms if every job got thousands of qualified applicants. Obviously, that isn't the case.

To the layperson, "full self driving" means "I can ride it drunk without going to jail"
It seems like Musk has decided that if humans can drive visually, then cars can. Why did he choose this line?

That is, if humans only need two eyes to drive, then why not just only use two cameras? Isn't using more than two cameras (and radar) admitting that cars need more "help" than humans? If using more than two cameras is okay, why not go further and use LIDAR or HD-mappings?

I believe that Musk chose this line because he knows that LIDAR (in its current state) is too expensive to sell to consumers. Same with HD-mapping. We know that LIDAR based systems have achieved "better" self-driving than camera based systems.

It's still possible that Musk is correct. But at present, it seems to me that Musk's position therefore seems like a mostly ideological stance, and not based on any real data. That's why people doubt Tesla's ability to execute on Level 4/5 self driving. The market will punish ideological purists when they are wrong.
Safe assumption, at least for Tesla Megapack based projects. The Megapack has a default inverter that supplies 1/4W of power per Wh of energy. But there are options to buy bigger inverters.
$200k base is not shabby at all, unless you live in SF or NYC.

$200k is about 168k EUR, and that would give you a really nice life in Amsterdam (which is one of the more expensive EU cities). Assuming you like the character of the city, and pre-covid could tolerate the tourists (big challenge there!), it is a pretty great place.

Add some stock options, and bank those for retirement, and you have a heck of a great life just about anywhere in EU.
> It kind of encourages you to use a lookup table or polymorphism

And I think that is a problem. switch()ing over an enum will give you a warning about unhandled cases in some languages. But if you start building your own lookup tables, you will be just as prone to typos like mine, except with more code, and less static analysis.

Yet the cyclomatic complexity drops from 16 to 1. I don't think that's a healthy incentive.
