Waymo isn't selling cars to customers though and has no plans to. They want to run a taxi service like Uber. They don't want the liability of customers owning the vehicles and maybe modifying them and then getting bad press exactly like Tesla gets over it's system.

Waymo and Uber seem to be of the opinion that car ownership is going to disappear which continues to boggle my mind. The US absolutely needs car ownership for anyone not living downtown in a city, which is over 50% of the US population. People shouldn't be looking at them as examples.
Pretty much, yeah. If those kids that aren't going to kindergarten have exchanged that time for neglect - sitting in front of a television for an eight hour stretch, for example - then they will certainly be worse off for it. But the article didn't demonstrate or investigate that, it went straight from "less enrollment" to "less prepared", as if kindergarten is the only realistic place to learn such important skills as "basic respect" and "don't hit people".
I live with the perspective of an alive person while alive of course. Surely that isn't that tough to grasp?

Thank you for that link, I had not realized Synology had moved into the router space, and I've been running Synology NASes for almost a decade! Generally I've been happy with them, and on the few occasions I need tech support, it was surprisingly good (going on with zero expectations based on other companies' support in the past).
They actually have a clip of the sound in the video, and if I remember correctly that sound was recorded in the 1% atmosphere chamber, so should sound similar to how it would sound on Mars.
I often feel the exact same way. I have had to really be honest with myself to understand these feelings. What I have realized is that this feeling can mostly be reduced to fear. Fear of becoming obsolete, fear of being not so smart, fear of not being a "real programmer". It also doesn't help that a lot of people in other fields really do look down on web developers in this way. At least for me, this induces a fear response and I get anxious and it is almost entirely out of insecurity. I start to "stress learn" things that I feel would make me a "real programmer" even if I have no real use for or interest in them. It's pointless, of course, but I have found it to be a viscous cycle that's hard to fight sometimes.

A few things have helped me. The first is that you need to embrace what you do and love what you do. It doesn't sound like you hate being a web developer, more that you feel you should be doing "harder" things. Web development is far more than CRUD apps, so it might be worth looking for another job that will challenge you more as a web developer.

The second thing is that you need to understand what you do _deeply_ instead of _broadly_. I have for a long time considered myself a generalist, but this has its drawbacks. When you really understand a tool set deeply and become an expert a lot of the lower level internals really reveal themselves. You end up learning things that you've always thought you wanted to learn in isolation, but instead there is now a useful context in which to learn them. Not to mention that this helps with the feeling of being "not so smart" because you will form informed opinions as a result of your deep level of understanding.

The last thing is that you do need to feed your curiosity and the only way to do that is through projects. You want to build a compiler, build an emulator, a game engine, a database, or an OS? You really just need to do it. I have dabbled in each one of these things. Some of which I got very deep into, others not so deep. Each time I learned a little bit more. The hardest part is picking a project and running with it, especially when there are so many different options, but it is the only way.

Sometimes it's important to take a step back and appreciate what you do. It's very easy to beat yourself up and compare yourself to others. If you really are unhappy with what you do, then you need to start deeply diving into something that you do find interesting. Nothing in this field is easy and it all takes time to gain any level of proficiency at.
Thanks for that. It sounds like I did a terrible job of expressing my thoughts.

Waymo can scale as fast as they want to via partnerships like the one they have with Chrysler already. Other companies will build the vehicles and add the hardware, Waymo will handle the software. Not everyone has to do everything in-house like Tesla does.
That's because Congress has abdicated its role and we live in a appartjik state where the executive appoints the judicial body and the judicial body legislates from the bench while the admin creates executive actions or has agencies create rules that have the weight of laws.

And Worst Places to Be as Global Vaccinations Take Off
This earlier post seems to provide some useful context: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/12/combinators-and-...
Most of the US leadership and many of the US employees quit in recent years. The CEO wanted to focus on international offices where employees were cheaper. It was backfiring while I was there and I heard it only got worse after I left.

Sad situation. I knew a lot of good people there who cared about making good products during the UniFi glory days. Everything collapsed fast. I knew we were in trouble when the CEO's early employee friends were disappearing and their offices were being closed without warning.

> You end up with no books that are an appropriate reading challenge but also developmentally appropriate

What? It's just the opposite. What about the books that a parent typically reads kids that age at bedtime? Those are generally above the reading level, but at the developmental level.

Indeed, the whole annoying thing with kids learning to read is that -- at least for kids who have been read to frequently -- their taste in books is well above the "see spot run" level that their reading is at.

At age 4 and 5, my kids were into Ramona, Roald Dahl, Charlotte's Web, Pipi Longstocking, etc. It took them til age 6 or 7 to be able to read those comfortably.

Learning to read early is in no way a curse, or a "party trick." For my kids, and many others, it has instilled a love of reading. Also the notion of a "party trick" is gross, like it's something the parents do to show off. The kids who learn to read early do so because they are interested in it.

> At the same time, calling out math problems to the back seat was a way that I kept kids busy during road trips, and I wouldn't change that at all

Ah, so you're just biased against kids who read early.

Ramses II was one of the greatest Kings in human history, ranking with Alexander, Genghis Khan and Napoleon. He lived to 94 years old ruling at least 67 years. He built a huge number of monuments. He had at least 52 sons with a special tomb complex for them (just beginning to be excavated). He is thought to be the Pharaoh of the Exodus, but there is little supporting evidence.

His mummy is very impressive. Appears totally regal and in command. I felt in the presence of a great man when I saw it.
This sounds contradictory to me. Are you saying the bitcoin is a temporary delusion that will somehow fade away at some point? What will cause this so-called delusion to break?

Btw, I'm not a bitcoin booster. I think the technology is interesting. Economically, I'm not too sure. Non-productive deflationary assets seem bad. I think it may be some sort of monetary tragedy of the commons. But there are some natural limitations that may prevent from spiraling too far out of control.

That doesn't follow at all. The whole concept of "the expense of the dye and the purity of the white mark these as the pants of an important man" is that the pants stand out from what everybody else is wearing. That's how you can tell that the one guy who can afford to wear them is rich and important.

> They think that server side is slower because you have to send down more data, or you have to wait for the server to generate HTML.

> Quite the contrary, it's slower to send down 1 MB or 10 MB of JavaScript to render a page, than to simply send down a 100 KB HTML page. Even if you need some JS also, browsers know how to render concurrently with downloads, as long as you provide enough HTML.

The argument I remember from years ago used "slower" as a bad simplification. What it actually meant was, doing the rendering server-side wasted CPU the server could be using to respond to another request. Instead, just send the data and distribute some of this processing to all your users by way of client-side rendering.

Also, back then bundling was a lot rarer than it is now, so the large libraries that made of most of those 10 MB javascript files would be separate files the browser can keep cached.
They're of limited utility though, because any models, particularly for a computer game meant for consumer hardware and designed for "fun", are going to be very simplified.

It depends on how you want to read it. If you read it carefully, it says something like this:

The cars have hardware that Tesla believes will be sufficient for full self-driving. They're building a system that is designed to conduct trips without action by the person in the seat. There may be a time at which someone will be able to use those features without supervision. The software will be updated over the air.

That's probably not what most people expect, though.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is really a simulator, not just of flying, but also of the entire world.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22632588 -- comment a year ago on the end of Starsky Robotics (good blog post)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22633543 -- further down in the thread quoting Chris Urmson from March 2016, and also Bill Gurley from 2018

Sure things could have changed, but by all accounts they haven't, given the lack of deployment. They took 5 years to get to 90%, another 5 to get to 99%, and will take roughly the same amount of time to get to 99.9%, etc. And that doesn't mean they're done.

(I have been following this for at least 10 years, and I also worked on a college project in autonomous vehicles 21 years ago. It was not good, but the deployment and philosophical issues are identical to the ones back then IMO.)
Beauty being subjective, it’s best left to others to describe the project as beautiful rather than the author. Like the difference between someone saying “I’m beautiful” vs having someone else describe them as beautiful, that comes across as a lack of humility in most contexts no matter how true it is. I think that may be why so many here including myself find it off-putting.
> 2. There are hardly any Democrat leaders left who care about or can talk to blue collar workers.

The problem is voters, not workers. US voters are significantly older and to the right of employees - either past or near retirement. Improving employment certainly does work on the margins, but in absolute terms there's a lot of people who don't care and just want to be entertained.

Problem number 3 though is the US doesn't emit that much carbon. To be part of a worldwide solution we need to sell carbon capture tech to China and India.
In the US kids are expected to enter 1st grade with some basic literacy and math skills. If they don't have these at all, they would not necessarily be considered prepared for 1st grade.
