These videos show the state of the latest self-driving features pretty well. It’s obviously not reliable or comprehensive, and definitely still needs a human driver. On the other hand progress is rapid and in simple situations it can drive autonomously point to point.

Also being able to handle an adversarial driver is qualitatively different to debris in the road, so there does seem nuance in the list of failure conditions would be helpful in terms of determining how important they are in reality.

I am sure many people will buy this just to see the quality of the systems for themselves. It does appear to be the most advanced driver assistance system widely deployed on the market.
I've been intrigued about this library, and specifically the possibility about a Python workflow, but a fallback to rust if needed. I mean, I haven't really looked at what the interop is but should work, right?

It's not going to happen for now though because the project is still immature and there's zero documentation in Python from what I can see. But it's something in keeping a close eye on, I often work with R and C++ as a fallback when speed is paramount, but I think I'd rather replace C++ with Rust.
Every order is a market order.
That would be one approach, but I think most big organisations would presume that it would simply spiral out of control, and the bands will end up achieving nothing. From a management perspective, if you’re trying to resource a team or a project, hiring a contractor at a high contracting rate typically works out to be the path of least resistance.

This was 30 years ago. And Chomsky is far left. I’m not. I like to read far and wide, as long as it’s not propaganda. Older works tend to be better.
I used to hate subscriptions but now that I'm thinking about how to monetize the thing I'm building, I completely understand them.

But I really appreciate this developer sharing their experience here.

I would love a dataset that showed how indie developers who work on their consumer iOS apps full time are monetizing them.
I really never like selling my data to third parties. I usually don't consider using online services unless there's absolutely no good alternatives.
> € 4,00 per user / month

In the USA and I think all English speaking places we use dot rather than comma to separate decimals from whole number, and comma for thousands, millions etc. So at a glance (before looking closely) this looks like four thousand euros per user per month. I looked a second time and realized that was incorrect but consider fixing for EN- 4K/user/mo is quite shocking to read! :)
It doesn’t make sense, though, their 1.5B investment would go up to maybe $15-20B.
Yeah I would imagine it's insanely difficult. The bar for genres dominated by indie games like puzzle platformers, metroidvanias, roguelikes seems infinitely high these days. Seems rough for devs, but as a gamer it's amazing.
BTC is within 10x of $500k, so you’re right, it doesn’t make sense.
Sometimes having you do something manually is part of the point. Areas of legal risk or when you're acting against your own interests are areas where the attorney might want to draw extra attention. Think of it as an "Are you sure?" dialog.

An example: when I was doing basic legal assistance, we had a lot of folks who wanted a power of attorney. Many of them insisted on getting a general power of attorney. There are significant risks that such an instrument may be too powerful, and also that it may not be powerful enough. Eventually, we had a disclaimer on the back of the request form that they had to rewrite, by hand, before we would draft the instrument for execution.
Baron-Cohen indeed created a tool to measure it based on his theory which he hints at in this interview: he says autism means that you have a high 'systemizing quitient' AND a low EQ. And of course it's a spectrum. I don't know the validity of this, but it's his rather specific definition. (And it's not about specific interests in general.)
I remember the flood of articles that told you to disable CPUID because it could be detected from javascript.

People are scared and want to save their asses so they make super low estimates. That way it sounds really good in the media when things keep working.

I used to do the same when I did software development “I will be done with that in 2 days” then proceeded to build the thing in 2 hours chill 3-4 hours and hand it in earlier than expected.
Everyone was happy.
> The ME, on the other hand, is obviously good since it "allows" you to watch 4K Netflix on your PC.

The ME has nothing to do with this, it's entirely about the GPU. 7th generation Intel GPUs and 10xx or newer nVidia GPUs support the DRM that Netflix requires, the CPU just needs to be fast enough to handle its part of the equation.
It seems like a large leap from “voles develop social bonding problems when their sleep is disrupted in early life” to “making babies sleep on their backs increases the rate of autism”. Is there any other data that would indicate a correlation between back sleeping in infants and autism rates?
I still use it, but also feel it's not really showing me the right content. What do you use instead?
I don’t think they’re very bottlenecked by available money at this point.
It’s very interesting how Foucault fans think he won. He only kept trying to move the point of the conversation to madness and how the powers that be used it. Perhaps it’s a good example of fanaticism vs old school reasoning. Chomsky didn’t “win” because the conversation was constantly derailed. It was a waste of time. Don’t try to reason or debate fanatics.
I didn't dig into others, but:

> don't always label bugs that way (example: systemd/#5616)

Nobody figured out if that issue is in logind or X yet. They did not close it so it's not like they say it can't possibly be on systemd side. (typical Lennart comments aside)
+1 to this. Given what the original poster has said, they are probably going to get ground to bits even if they do get into a FAANG. It requires both raw technical ability and considerable social and political skills to survive because everybody there is jockeying to climb to the next level. A number of the FAANGs are also ruthless about culling people who aren't succeeding, at least until a certain promotion level is reached.
Alpha would imply it isn't done yet.

Beta would imply that it's feature complete, but still potentially has bugs that need to be worked out.
There is some continuity to how a corporation acts externally but I agree too much anthropomorphism is pointless.
> people at or near the top who may have incentives to distort things

But who are those people? The Chairman of the Fed? The Secretary of the Treasury? The President? Let's say the US Government ends up paying $10 BN more on the inflation-linked bonds because of the CPI, how exactly will any of the 3 top-level people listed above going to suffer? Maybe the President does not get re-elected if the deficit is too high? Ha-ha, good joke, after years of trillion dollars deficits, does it look like the voters give a damn?

Ok, maybe I went to high up. Maybe it's people in the second echelon. Or third. Why would any of these guys care how much Uncle Sam pays on the inflation linked bonds, or what the balance sheet of the Social Security Administration looks like? People on the private side often have their compensation linked to the performance of their company (for example by being partially paid in equity), but there is noting similar on the Government side.

So, again, why would any Government employee indulge in any number cooking? What would be their upside?

Yeah, this blog post is a real drag. Ok, so you've been at this for a long time and are super smart and experienced. Great. That's not who Arduinos are for. They're for folks who want to use a microcontroller and don't want to have to worry about toolchains, bootloaders, and programmers.

Let me try to spell it out for you.

ddevault:

> Even with all of that said, I support piracy. Information wants to be free, and games are made of information. No one has lost anything when a game is copied.

"Information wants to be free, and games are made of information" is a defense of piracy that has nothing whatsoever to do with the consequences of piracy. The argument is that copyright claims are morally invalid because they go against the nature of information as such.

This is used to make the claim that "no one has lost anything when a game is copied".

That claim is a bit of verbal trickery, and that's what my comment is complaining about. If a developer has a copy of a game on their hard drive, and after releasing the game, someone pirates it, the developer still has a copy of the game on their hard drive. This is one sense of "not having lost anything", and it's what ddevault understands to be the nature of information that underlies the moral argument I gave above.

But what that moral argument can not tell you is that "no one has lost anything" in the fairly conventional, pragmatic sense that one can "lose a job".

My comment is a theoretical example (or thought experiment) that highlights the difference in a way that makes clear how the words "no one has lost anything" are at least misleading, and potentially hurtful. That is why I begin with the words "suppose" (which is how philosophers often introduce thought experiments) and proceed to give a highly theoretical example about a indie dev studio which does not exist. The upshot is the philosophical point that people can "lose something" (a livelihood) without "losing anything" (a piece of intellectual property).

I have no idea whether, on the whole, piracy is good or bad for video games. Despite your apparent certainty, I do think the jury is still out on that point. But that is most emphatically not the point that I am making in my comment.
> it might take several more years for things to go back to somewhat normal.

People always make statements like this, but nobody defines what "normal" actually means. Some things will probably never go back to the way they were. Does that mean things won't be "normal"?

Normal also means entirely different things for different countries and different individuals. That's why I dislike statements like this, unless there's at least an attempt to define what you mean by "normal".

Thank you. Fixed my math.
No, we never had any sort of conversation of that sort.
I found this Chomsky video last night. It's from the late 80's early 90's. He's really still in his prime here. He makes some really insightful calls on the direction of the emerging "Information Super Highway" in this as well.

They might have slightly higher fatality rates than other "luxury sedans", but seem to be safer than the average car (which includes older models on the road that don't have active collision avoidance features or such).

https://www.tesladeaths.com/#FAQ

Note that I say "they might" because tesladeaths.com is probably overcounting slightly. It's created by a group of short sellers, and the IIHS may count fewer incidents for other cars.

Until the IIHS releases properly comparable numbers themselves, it's hard to say for sure.
Yeah, reading into the masculinity worries of truck drivers is telling. It's basically a trope that a huge truck means you're "compensating for something" and this article just kinda dresses that stereotype in fancier language.

The real answer is: trucks are an in-group signal. And because it's not our group, it gets slandered as a masculinity crisis and a moral crime ("look how big and scary the grill is, it'll kill a biker!" "It's authoritarian!")

Is there any truth to these claims about the evils of trucks? Yes, the arguments are laid out well enough. But the real underlying reason this article was written is tribalism.
Performant is problematic because it's tech jargon that is only now gaining grudging acceptance as a word in the overall population.

It's not wrong, but it's best avoided if you want to avoid pedants waving their King's English stick at you.
> I agree but I wouldn't call systemd a init system.

Systemd is the name of the init system. Systemd is also the name of the project developing multiple systemd-* services. Maybe they could help the situation a bit by renaming the service itself systemd-init, but we've had enough time for people to learn to deal with a tiny bit of ambiguity...

> Didn't Musk grow up in a wealthy family?

No. That's a false narrative. He arrived in North America with $2,000 worth of savings a backpack and a suitcase full of books. He also paid his way through college.

According to Ashlee Vance's book: "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future"
Munging - messing with. Per the (somewhat abandoned)standard for filesystem layout /usr (except /usr/local) is the domainof the system/distribution. It's not very nice for a package to stomp on that. Although systemd already claim some authority over logs via journalctl of course.

Ghosting: by bind-mounting over the system fs -you might introduce a bug/condition that doesn't show up in a recovery boot scenario, or forensic analyzis of the filesystem/disk - you could introduce "ghost" files/artefacts.
It's not like there weren't controversial topics before. They were just different topics. Instead of gay marriage, it was interracial marriage that had that kind of split.
I have to say how much I love the Chrome OS profiling ecosystem. Google engineers bring these changes to lkml with the data in hand. Reduces tab kills by a factor of 20x, in the field? Very nice.
Can anybody explain why Chromium tech writer chose to sprinkle "up to" everywhere in the numbers? For example: "we’ve improved browser responsiveness by up to 9%".

This makes the article so confusing to read. Does it mean browser responsiveness improved by 0.1% on average, and in some very edge case, it improved by 9%?
> I suddenly have to use systemd-* over them.

You really don't. You have the choice to go with a distro which doesn't use them, or to mix&match yourself.

All the people I asked enjoy the car very much. So for the exception of that sad marketing twist the product seems to be quite enjoyable. I still can't afford it though :)
Probably not too actively, tbh. This could easily be a "vendor and forget" situation.
I am a lawyer and I use Track Changes a lot - but I cheat. I'll change my name in Word to something that makes sense for versioning. Redlining the 40-year history of a statutory provision? Well first my name is NDAA FY '84, now it's NDAA FY '15, etc.
Yah, screw anyone who's on the leading edge of linguistic drift!

After all, if someone doesn't properly use the second-person singular pronoun of yore, they're an illiterate scoundrel! Language shouldn't change.

I think your argument has been decimated (which means reduced by a literal 10%; metaphorical and drifting meanings of words are bad!)

> It's hard to tell how the author came to the conclusion that the best thing an individual can do against 'systemic racism' is give up their job and hope it gets filled by a black person.

To his credit, I have heard similar from some activists. There's a miniscule fraction of the people who otherwise align with those activists who actually subscribe to that reasoning, so it's effectively a strawman.

>> Don’t rely on the government for equal results because the government only will botch most things it touches. Rather, rely on yourself for self-help and your immediate network of family and friends, and the people at your church, cathedral, synagogue or temple, and private sources for a boost when needed...

> Is this the best the author could come up with?

Yeah... "don't ask for handouts"... unless you need a handout. And then, you're deserving of a handout if your friends or family have excess resources, or if you participate in a sufficiently wealthy religion. Shame if you were kicked out of your town, family, and church for being gay or transgender.
> Tesla’s mortality rate (41 deaths per million vehicle years) is so much higher

164 deaths, but only 6 on autopilot. While it might be safe to make statistical inference with 164 observations, no good statistician would make strong claims based on just 6. There is no evidence one way or the other for the impact of autopilot on fatalities.
Because the product is better than anything else on the market, and the lies are fairly benign and easily excused as brash optimism.
Because they are the best. I really wanted to buy a Porsche Taycan, but my friend has a 3 year old hybrid Porsche, and he can't use the charger that he used a year ago, because they updated the software version in the charging station. Also I heard that Porsche's self driving suite is dangerous even on the highway (where Tesla's makes it easier to do long trips).

I feel jealousy in your words. Tesla is a cool electric car. That's it.
Everyone else is still producing using fossil fuel cars but the trend is going in different directions (for a very good reason).
So I genuinely can’t understand what is the problem with Tesla. I just hope other car companies stop selling their ass to the fuel moguls.

Google Must Face Suit over Snooping on ‘Incognito’ Browsing
I don't know much about how the STS or ISS EVA airlocks are configured, but I wonder if you could do it with a slightly modified Crew Dragon docking nose-to-nose with another one. One acts as a fallback and home for the non-EVAing crew, and stays pressurized, while the other is used to stage the EVA and ultimately evacuated so that the astronaut(s) can leave via the hatch. You could launch one unmanned and have it wait in orbit for the other one, with crew.

There's a fair amount of room in those trunk sections for any gear or parts they need to bring up, too. I guess my biggest concern would be whether the hatches are big enough for real EVA suits to get in and out easily, and whether the life support system can support multiple repressurizations without significant modification. They might also need to modify the docking adapters, which are "supposed" to be androgynous but IIRC actually aren't.

Yes, but the other way around: a naval attack submarine captain (Me) telling a recreational yachtsman (potential K8s users) not to put a nuclear power plant in their sailboat. I think some of us get that it should only be used sparingly as a big investment, but there's so many more using it just because it seems like they should.
> Note that I say "they might" because tesladeaths.com is probably overcounting slightly.

More than slightly, and that includes far more than just the ones where the touchscreen replaced nearly all controls not on the steering pedestal (Model 3, Y).

I don't know how many years have to go by without supporting evidence before we can move on from these claims. More than three, apparently, and despite other manufacturers making the same shift toward touchscreens.
Thanks for expanding on that. Now I think I get what you mean.

Rust does case (3) with arenas. In your frame loop you'd create or reset an arena and then borrow it. That would limit lifetime of its items to a single loop iteration.
The cost would be only in a noisy syntax with `'arena` in several places, but other than that it compiles to plain pointers with no magic. Lifetimes are merely compile-time assertions for a static analyzer. Note that in Rust borrowing is unrelated to RAII and theoretically separate from single ownership.

Rust's `async fn` is one case where a task can hold all of the memory it will need, as one tagged union.

As for unsafe, the point is in encapsulating it in safe abstractions.

Imagine you're implementing a high level sandbox language. Your language is meant to be bulletproof safe, but your compiler for that language may is in C. The fact that the compiler might do unsafe things doesn't make the safe language pointless.

Rust does that, but the safe language vs unsafe compiler barrier is shifted a but, so that users can add "compiler internals" themselves for the safe language side.

eg. `String` implementation is full of unsafe code, but once that one implementation has been verified manually to be sound, and hidden behind a safe API, nobody else using it can screw it up when eg concatenating strings.

I know it seems pointless if you can access unsafe at all, so why bother? But in practice it really helps, for reasons that are mostly social.

* There are clear universal rules about what is a safe API. That helps review the code, because the API contract can't be arbitrary or "just be careful not to…". It either is or isn't, and you mark it as such. Not everything can be expressed in terms of safe APIs, but enough things can.

* Unsafe parts can be left to be written by more experienced devs, or flagged for more thorough review, or fuzzed, etc. Rust's unsafe requires as much diligence as equivalent C code. The difference is that thanks to encapsulation you don't need to write the whole program with maximum care, and you know where to focus your efforts to ensure safety. You focus on designing safe abstraction once, and then can rely on the compiler upholding it everywhere else.

Why do you necessarily want to work at a FAANG company? There are plenty of other fine organizations that pay reasonably well and don't have such a high interview bar.

Perhaps you should consider a non-tech company (e.g. retail, healthcare, real estate, hospitality et cetera) that uses technology versus creates technology. The bar will be lower and the pay should be decent but not exceptional.
Uh that'd be stealing and would make them immediately lose credibility. But if you're really concerned about it, move funds to your wallet as soon as you buy.
