I don’t understand how the guy can write so well and yet confuse tinderhooks with tenterhooks in the comments.
With long distance train, sleepers are usually much more than flying. (This is true in Europe as well for the most part.) And even regular seats may be significantly more expensive.

A few years back I casually looked into taking an overnight train to Chicago from the East Coast and it was going to be something like 4x the cost of flying.
Does that matter?

If that is the general perception, how it got that way doesn't change what people think the word means, or what they'll hear when Tesla names a feature Autopilot.
It's a mixed bag, really.

Compare the journey from my small village in New Mexico to Chicago, about 1200 miles. We just happen to have an Amtrak station 5 miles away. The drive time is about 18-20 hours without stops, which is long enough that an overnight stop is going to be likely. The flight time is only about 3 hours, but that requires first driving 40-70 minutes to the airport, spending time waiting in the airport, and then arriving at O'Hare, and then the 50 min metro journey back into the city.

The Southwest Chief, however, arrives here around lunch time, and arrives in Chicago about 24 hours later.

If you were optimizing for minimum travel time, you'd probably fly. If you were optimizing for cost, you'd probably drive. But if you want a nice journey, the train is fantastic and faster than driving if you're going to stop.

So, there are variations on the theme, and sometimes the train wins, sometimes the train loses.
one in a quadrillion, but really he's in every one of us. We just need to learn to let that inner child come out.
Personally, I am disappointed what you get for $68k after taxes in my country when buying the Model Y.
“The problems have been worsened by a string of other factors, including a fire at a semiconductor factory and weather issues.”

It is sometimes humbling to remember that despite our technical advances we’re still subject to the forces of nature.
I suppose there's the risk of losing out on candidates that get bad info from somewhere else on what the salary might be, and never apply. Or wasting time on candidates you'll lose out on after the offer is made.
I hate to break this to you, but you've been Musked.

> The FSD package as it exists gets you autonomy on highways already.

This is incorrect. It's a level 2 driver-assist feature no matter what road or surface you're driving on. This means keeping both hands on the wheel and paying full attention to driving 100% of the time.
$80B isn't enough to overhaul US train infrastructure and all the related challenges, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it ends up going to high-bid/low-result vendors. Other countries have had high speed rail for 10-50 years already.
That's one way of encouraging investment in green energy sources but may not be perfect. Again, it's a wait and see game. Further, for a firm starting up mining ops your cost isn't just the variable cost of electricity, you also have the fixed cost of the plant. If the cost of a coal plant + cost of electrical production/maintenance + carbon tax < cost of a solar plant + cost of electrical production/maintenance then clearly coal here is the winner.
To be honest, I don't know what the iPad is. I have one, but it is not optimal to watch movies on because the screen is too small, it is not useful as a general purpose computer because iOS is too limited in that regard.

So I guess outside of artists or those who edit photos, there really isn't much of a market that isn't better served with a laptop or a Phone.
Well everyone’s all about empowering women until they need to put their money where their mouth is (not that anything in this article wouldn’t be beneficial for pretty much everyone working for a wage, but the gender discrimination aspect seems to be the focus of the author).
I've solved some DP problems (I call it: "find the right table/array and then decide whether you feel recursive or iterative").

I know about lru caches.

Yet, I'm not fully understanding what your implying with your comment.

The only fallacy is when one then goes to Goldbolt and then reaches the conclusion that regardless of the language, the kind of generated Assembly can be the same, depending on the proficiency of the author on the language features at their disposal, and the compiler backend being used.
> Realistically how fast could america get its trains? 150 mph?

Ah, yes. The height of American ambition is to aspire to a future train eventually reaching speeds 70% of what is considered normal elsewhere in the world.
The point is applying it to people, with effects on the people themselves. Take for example shops that would decide whether you can be served based on face-matching AI. And it's property mainly of impoverishment of the area.
It's not clear to me why the federal government should accommodate the state taxation structures. That is, uncapped deductions effectively mean that federal taxes are applied after state taxes. Couldn't states provide a deduction based on federal taxes if they think this is unfair to residents?
Advertisement doesn't cause psychological harm in this context, otherwise you would get sued for abuse over phone advertisement.
The CEO of ARIN has confirmed that the DoD has authorized this specific company to advertise these prefixes, so if there's any known spam or fraud involved, you might want to take that up with the federal contracting agency which issued the contract to this company.
Personally I won’t bother to apply to a job for a company I haven’t heard of without a listed salary but I have the luxury of taking this stance.
It's not even the prisoner's dilemma. It's just two actors with different incentives.
Put differently: it's a shame that as passengers we pay so little of the real cost of flying that train travel can appear expensive by comparison.
I don't think Google is quite as neutral here. Google suggests adding "cheater" to the search of the victim's names and ranks those websites.

What if the manual of the hammer included a section "try hitting someone with it".

Now, Google's recommendation clearly came from seeing those words appear together, but to me Google is somewhere between completely neutral like grep, a hammer, or a car and fully editorialized like a blog or newspaper.
For the vast, vast, majority of us, nothing that we do individually is important. Sure we work and provide some value to somebody somewhere, but if we didn't exist or didn't do that job, the world wouldn't be any worse off.

If you think otherwise, it's probably your ego lying to you.
Ah thanks for the correction - I missed that bit.
> Doesn’t this generally describe all contemporary forms of advertisement? Or, for any given advertisement, how would you demonstrate it is out of scope of this qualifier?

I guess if one is told (clearly) that "this is an ad" then it's probably fine?
Well, basically if you won't self regulate you get (bad) lawmaker-made regulation.

> I don't understand why people think Lucid is going to be so great when they aren't even mass-producing yet.

I assume it’s because their CEO/CTO was the chief engineer for the Tesla Model S. So, not only has he done it before, he presumably has some lessons learned on how to do things better the second time around. Agreed, that’s no guarantee though.
I don't pay to walk or bike anywhere where I live, it was all built with tax dollars. Where are you that walkers and bikers pay for their infrastructure?
In my particular case, I opened the CI/CD can of worms using Docker (which obviously has great use cases). My use case could have fit into a Rails/Django + Heroku model that would have saved me a bunch of time. I thought by investing in the infra early it would save me time later, however later will likely never come. So basically I spent more time debugging issues due to adding infrastructure complexity than developing the actual project.

TLDR; Wasn't a total loss as I did learn some, however I would have rather spend more time on developing the actual product (or in retrospect more time with my family).
> "make something people want"

It's more of a "the other options suck" kind of thing with Tesla, no?

> Would I have bought something else if I could get it? Maybe.
Read my comment again for context.
Why is this a problem? If they take access of things you’ve bought, they should have to give you’re money back. Any breaking of the TOS in the future shouldn’t change that whether or not you’re purposefully trying to break them.
I got a HyperScorpion and have the ability to switch between a passenger seat and small to giant cargo racks.

It has replaced 95% of car trips, even giant grocery runs. The bay is lucky to have 3+ bike boulevards running parallel to major roads.

Citymapper has been an awesome app to find more bike friendly routes that Google would never surface
The term "knackered" (British slang for tired or exhausted) may have derived from the term "knacker" (a slang term meaning "to kill," but also "to tire, exhaust, or wear out." [1]) And the origin of the term "knack" itself is "probably related to obsolete knack ‘sharp blow or sound’, of imitative origin (compare with Dutch knak ‘crack, snap’)" [2]

I have very little experience with the industry, but I think car manufacturers are playing a game of chicken to see who will sell a Level 3-certified car first because, while the law supposedly clearly lays out the legal details, in practice there is no prior work for judges and juries to work off of. It's brand new territory, and no one wants to be the first one in.

Tesla has discovered they can bypass this because "Full Self Driving Beta" is not a regulated term and it sells like hot-cakes to consumers. I am sure other companies are/will be following suit. No one wants to stamp an official "LEVEL 3/4/5 CERTIFIED" sticker on the official sales sheet.
When did they said they had the software?
It does simulated annealing in src/sim.ts, I think.
There is also the possible benefit where you might attract talent that otherwise would pass on you thinking you can't/won't afford them.

Having a good dollar amount listed on your job listings draws eyes. This is especially valuable if people don't know what your company is because you're smaller or just lesser known. Which is honestly most companies.
Mandated salary transparency does wonders to this issue. Norway, going even further with all salaries being public has one of the narrowest gender pay gap in the world[1] (in addition to narrow gaps in fields like software engineering that usually have an unusually wide band, even when accounting for similar seniority)

I’m reminded of a parody report noting Netflix was trialing a “browse only” plan, so you and your partner can argue endlessly about what to watch, but never have to make a choice.

It used to be the case that salary was always advertised and the company would pay expenses if they asked to interview you.

However in the era of “more people than jobs” that has drifted away.

If you don’t value my time now then why is it going to be any different if I work for you?

Lack of salary and clarity on the role is an instant “not wasting my time with that” signal for me.
Crossing the midwest diagonally, you're rarely going to be able to drive faster than 65 mph (legally). Even slow US trains can do 80 mph (though they do stop, too, and frequently get delayed by freight). If you could run trains at even 100mph, which is far from a "modern high speed train", driving would never be faster.
I think the apparent increase in Verilog popularity is due to pretty much all FOSS toolchains (i.e. mostly Yosys) only supporting Verilog [1], so most of the content publicly visible on blogs etc. uses Verilog.

And I guess the reason that most tooling focuses on Verilog is that the VHDL standard is a little bit of a mess from a parsing point of view. Essentially, in order to correctly parse some VHDL file A you first need to parse every other file that A might depend on. [2] Source: Tried writing a VHDL parser a few years ago.

[1] AFAIK you can buy a license for a VHDL frontend from one of the companies contributing to Yosys, but that's a different story.

[2] Example: What is f(1)? It could be a) calling a function called f with a parameter_association_list consisting of 1 or b) an indexed name, accessing an array called f at index 1, or c) some other things if we're not currently in an expression context. The only way to parse this correctly is to know what f is, but if f is not defined in the file you're currently parsing, there's no way to know other than parsing all other files...
Look at everyone else in this thread, celebrating the life and accomplishments of an amazing hacker that is no longer with us. Then read your comment again and ask yourself if this is the time and place to rant. Maybe not?

Especially the land grants. The US government gave ten percent of its territory to the railroads to get them built. The experience proves the opposite of "only private industry will invest".
I did't know about this option, and I just tried it. Seems to be waaaaay more verbose, but I guess it can be tweaked/customized. I tried it on a command line script that uses google libs and still waiting for stdin to come back...

What I liked about pysnooper is the ability to snoop on a specific function and/or code block to focus on the work-in-progress section of code.
You are of course right, but I couldn’t help laughing. I’ve long tried to say this: the reason for the relatively success of SOA is mostly that it makes it harder to cheat and reach over into other modules to grab whatever you need. That it is another team responsible also make it less likely that we rely on implementation details of the other modules.

But the reason why I laughed is that for almost every bug reported, it starts with a minor war about whose service that is really responsible, and then how was this contract really defined again? Oh, so the only specification is this example file you sent us two years ago? Aha, so the public order number isn’t what is called order_number, we should obviously have used the CustONr. Et c...
Colorado has passed legislation around this, so we'll have a test case soon.

> The Guidance makes clear that employers must disclose compensation and employee benefits information in each job posting for (i) positions that are to be performed in Colorado, or (ii) remote positions that could be performed in Colorado.

My employer posts salary for all positions and for me its been net negative. I was always aware that my odds of getting more money are low, but now seeing how much (and little) others are compensated makes me feel worse about my job. It will be very nice when applying for jobs, but has created a lot of frustration for me.

My Kia will follow the car ahead of it down to a complete stop and resume when the car ahead of it moves, I believe. Though I rarely enable it anywhere but the highway.

(Kia understates the capabilities of their ADAS a lot, probably so people don't abuse it, but it will pretty much drive itself as long as your hands rest on the wheel.)
"Angering some group of people" is one way to put it. "Railroad labor camps" would be more accurate.

Expanding on this, you don't know what hardware is required to do a job until you have done the job.

No one has shown full level 5 self-driving yet, so Tesla should never have said "we have the hardware it takes."

We don't even really know it's possible yet.
GDPR is not simply dead, but also wastes time of billions of people daily by displaying useless prompts that do not provide any real benefit.

OPs reasoning is that when government tries to regulate complex things that it doesn't understand the result usually is something useless like GDPR.
Your view is very cynical. But as you say, everyone engages in these kinds of status games - even totally powerless people will happily debate the greatest X of all time, so I don't see how this process can be seen as one driven by the powerful only.

I also don't see how your egalitarian vision of a 'flat' cultural world is practically possible. There is limited attention and time span available to people to experience culture (read/listen to music/look at paintings, etc.) That time span will have to be allocated to certain works over others, and doing it randomly is obviously a bad system. People will inevitably give each other advice on the best way to invest that time and a canon will emerge.

If it could exist, I think it would be a very unpleasant world, personally, with no common cultural referents. Allusion would disappear from cultural works, because only a tiny fraction of your audience would recognize what you're alluding to.
Directly causing harm is always illegal, but you can't outlaw all indirect ways to cause harm since it is unclear if it is the suffers fault or not. In this case this law argues that people shouldn't be expected to learn to cope with these practices and instead tech companies should stop doing these things.
To address some of the skepticism about when and where javascript would be appropriate in data science, would you want to fit a logistic regression model in javascript? Probably not, but to build a solver that takes model outputs and visualizes the changes in predicted probabilities based on different combinations of variables? This is definitely where javascript would make sense. Visualization, dashboards, reporting, and exploratory analysis are all ripe domains for developing rich responsive UIs. Basically, any layer where you have a data-to-human interface can be leveraged with javascript.

There is a lot of great work happening in this space already. In the R world for example, shiny makes heavy use of js to the point that you often can't tell where R code ends and javascript begins. Plotly's Dash provides bindings for R, Python, and Julia. Personally, as a data scientist, I have been excitedly learning React because it really rips the landscape wide open for all the use cases I mentioned above. It then makes sense to have libraries that give JS users a good data model and can do most of the same numerical computation that we'd be doing in other languages. Again, you probabaly don't want to do serious numerical work in js, but remember people said that about Python ten years ago too.

I love the framing of this book, because I want more data scientists to start thinking about the presentation of data and spark some bits of ingenuity to make datasets and model outputs accessible to non-data scientists. Data scientists should be the ones writing the tools that interface data with humans because of their domain knowledge. But this is a different skillset and usually the work of SW engineers. Of course engineers can also have great data intuition too, but I really do encourage data scientists to develop their front end skills, it's well worth it.
Salary information comes out sooner or later, so I don’t see how simply posting the information up front hurts anyone.
Worked at a place where our c# build times for a large project, many millions of loc, were 40 mins or so.
In places where it's not illegal to talk about your salary to your coworkers - just heavily frowned upon, and possibly still illegally sanctioned by your boss - , it certainly is not too far. Just knowing what your peers make, especially your immediate team where you probably have better insights on how much relative value they provide, can give you a good feel for being overpaid or underpaid.
> Plus you're likely to need a car anyways at your destination. Few people are going to choose the train.

Yep, this is a key problem in the USA. Even if you build an amazing regional rail system, the nature of what's at each end of most journeys will still push people toward cars far too much of the time.
Sure there is. If the salary is above-market, the employer can afford to pay, and wants to attract interest/applicants, that number will do so.
Modern?
Very cool! OT but is there a list of protobuf benchmarks somewhere across languages/implementations? How does it compare to JSON or just dumping raw bytes?
It depends what language you’re in. As long as you can use fakes, it doesn’t matter if you use interfaces or not. In C#, implementations are sealed by default so faking them is not feasible unless you make the function virtual.
> It's simple: if apple want to terminate your account, they need to refund you for any content you lose access to as a result of that termination.

Well, not quite that simple, since a lot of people would de facto also lose access to their hardware and all work which relies on this software-hardware-combination.
I don't expect so. The air has no active cooling and can run the M1. Should be doable for the ipad as well.
It would be cool if there was some way to filter out articles. I had the impression that this was someway to find new sites/widgets/communities, not another article from some "hollywood something something". Sry if im being rude
If you rolled your own, you invest your time to learn about the problem domain. If you use third party libs, you invest your time to learn about its interface/behavior. That is usually much more ephemeral knowledge. It is good tradeoff if the library does some heavy lifting, but that is not always true.
Fire at a factory is not a force of nature, and it might be that the weather issue is also not a force of nature like we saw in TX. Sometimes saving money instead of investing in risk mitigation systems cause things to fail. I don't believe force of nature is behind the chip shortage unless we are counting on "to err is human" then sure.
> Apple countered by arguing that “no reasonable consumer would believe” that content purchased through iTunes would be available on the platform indefinitely

Color me unreasonable
I'd be in favor of the law having a clause like the "No Surrender of Others' Freedom" clause of the GPL. Basically saying "If you provide movies like this, then you must make them available without DRM. If you have other legal or contractual requirements that forbid you from making them available without DRM, then you can't make them available at all."
Is Tesla not far ahead of the competitors?

Im currently sitting at one of the Tesla Superchargers in Phoenix. It’s full of cars. There is a CHAdeMO charger across the lot and I’ve never seen somebody use it.

Have any of Tesla’s competitors (other than the Ford ~~model t~~ mustang) even shipped yet?

“Nikola” appears to have been a blatant scam. Rivian hasn’t shipped. Lucid hasn’t shipped.

Meanwhile Tesla has a month long waitlist (at least), a retail store network, charger network, service network, and is on the 4th generation of actual shipped products.

That’s sounds exactly like spacex to me. The competitors (if you could even call them that yet) are trying their best to copy SpaceX but so far even Jeff Bezos seemingly infinite wealth hasn’t been able to do it.
> the time most people want to go is in the worst weather to be driving shuttles all over.

Doesn't that also mean its a bad time for people to be driving their own cars all over?
The orgs that hide their salary generally offer below market (but think they can fool you by telling you that they offer a rebate on fitness plans and other extraneous stuff amounting to mere hundreds per year), or they're trying to hide salaries from their own employees. Both are excellent indicators that it isn't worth applying there unless you're out of options.
lmfao...loose, nebulous terminology being applied to a mysterious aspect human experience we know next to nothing about. Why waste the effort?
