I believe it is happening and it's called Pokemon Go. There should be many more industrial applications than consumer ones though, eg imagine what construction workers could do with it.

The main problem is that it's so personal and low latency, but it also takes so much processing power. You need to spend a lot of time on performance and power work before anyone will use it without their phone melting.
You're not wrong, but the struggling countries may not have the infrastructure to fully take advantage of the skills and talents of the 'best and brightest'. By going to Canada (or wherever) they could be leveraged more effectively.

A lot of technology is making things easier in struggling countries, and if that technology can be made cheaper and commoditized it can improve more lives at more points of the income spectrum. The best and brightest may be helping to eliminate their own positions by making certain jobs easier to do in more places on the planet.
> Can you explain why you expect modern software to run on old hardware first?

People are expected to run modern software for reasons of security, to retain interoperability with the latest standards, or to reduce support costs for the vendor. It is not very surprising that people don't want to upgrade their hardware for reasons that are outside of their control.

I'm not sure Australia has a land problem in general, population density is quite low (I understand that a lot of the land doesn't support high density living). They have an issue in that their major cities have some constraints on perpetual outwards growth. Maybe this will help encourage remote work and relocation of offices to places that aren't the core downtown area of Melbourne and Sydney?
Innovation is a gamble. You're not wrong to point out they might fail. The likeliness of failure is what makes it worth the gamble of trying.
The fallacy here is that the scale of the neural network used by Tesla is sufficient to capture the problem of driving given enough training. There is no guarantee that a reasonably priced neural network can encompass the task of driving.

Having training data beyond a certain point is overrated, and Tesla's advantage in gathering it is overstated. Other companies are capturing this data as well. Is there any indication that the data Tesla is collecting is of a higher value, or is it just more bytes?

Many Americans rely on home equity as a part of their retirement funding (sometimes through necessity - running out of retirement funds and having to use home equity to live on either through selling, or getting a reverse mortgage), so anything that changes home price appreciation is going to affect many people's retirement plans.

I've never been at a company who uses it where the teams improved at all. Most of the time those regressed since people were actively working in silo's and shitting on other people's work to make their own work appear better.
> but it seems like training actually uses radar data to help calibrate vision

They seem to use radar solely to automatically label data for training.

In the given example though where according to the vision system smog interrupted the persistence of the label for the leading car, I wonder if the use of radar data to persist the label is strictly necessary.

A car disappeared then reappeared in the data, why not just tween the bounding box over time and assume the car had always been there, like, if it looked the same when it reappears or something. An extra sensor just for labelling data seems silly.
That looks like a real life battery level indicator.
Right, and then you subdivide again and sell to squirrels, and then subdivide and sell to ants, and so on until you are selling to subatomic particles. What then?
> Access to more money for a specific good or service means inflation concentrated in that category. See: college tuition and home prices in the U.S.

100x this. Financial policy giving everyone access to cheap mortgages has got to be one of the stupidest things governments have done in the last 30 years.
I agree with you, but something bothers me about your wording. I think it's the idea that the people doing the conspiratorial-imaginary things could switch course and do something productive. I very much wish that were the case. But the times I engage with the conspiratorial people and try to convey that there are ways to regain your autonomy, they seem to end up "othering" me for not just echoing their mumbo jumbo talking points.

I'm talking something very simple like trying to get across to them that GPS satellites do not "track you", but rather it's software on your phone itself that is betraying your location. They just don't seem interested when I say that they can choose better apps, or even point out that my phone gives up much much less surveillance data than theirs. It's like they don't even consider it possible to self-actualize, and all the conspiratorial nonsense is just a coping mechanism.

Perhaps this could change with an off-the-shelf Free anti-surveillance device (just use this and your problems will be solved), that would gain popularity via social proof among themselves. I just don't think the energy, money, or interest to develop such devices are going to come from said communities.

> Most Americans take it for granted that home prices should generally go up. But if you think about it for a moment, there is no inherent reason to expect this.

This is a goofy, naive statement; population is ever increasing, so when you buy a home or even just a plot, your "share" of the earth in terms of land is constantly growing if you amortize it over the population.

I say this without a stance on the morality of it, but just the math.
I try to make each commit a snapshot of a working repository (compileable or runnable or testable, whatever is the heuristic for working) where the difference between each snapshot can be explained by the commit message. Ideally they are isolated to a single logical "unit" of change (fix, refactor, add, remove). The goal here being to minimize the amount of confusion and work for anyone traveling up and down the tree. I often have to rewrite my local history to make this happen, because the actual changes that I make can happen in a somewhat arbitrary order. How has local history revision bitten you?
I don't remember a baby boom or a population increase of 500% in the last few years.
Sorry for misunderstanding and for not noticing your message before! That certainly sounds like a poor UX! I have only driven other brands, and have only seen an opposite effect.

Why Don't People Use Formal Methods? – 2019
Why are companies ignorant about copywriting?
Many companies I talk to have no idea what "copywriting" is.

My guess is that it falls under the "marketing" umbrella, or worse, "SEO" or "Social Media" umbrellas.

Split testing a client's web site with better copy can yield staggering results, and many companies don't know that they don't necessarily need to hire overpriced "marketing ninjas" to reduce page drop off. I can do that easily with a web page audit & customer research. I'll then formulate some hypothesis that I test and refine until we see results.

I'm not certain if I need to rebrand myself in some way, but I know that companies would use my services...if they knew about me in the first place.

This begs the question to all of you who know of or who've had to find help -

where do you go when you want your web site split tested for conversion, your marketing emails written to increase open rates, and your FB and IG ads optimized for engagement?

Surely not a "copywriter"?
That 2% is putting you slightly higher to the new bottom of band.

So to clarify, if previous years bottom of band was 100K, and this years bottom is 110K, your base bump + your projected stock value (current year + 15% increase planned YoY) will be 110K.

As a Canadian who now lives in Australia, I'm astounded by the levers the Australian gov't will pull in order to keep the housing market "booming".

In my 10 years here I've seen them split them make it difficult for foreigners to buy existing houses, but easy to buy off-plan https://treasury.gov.au/sites/default/files/2019-03/Stronger...

I've seen them restrict the amount of money retirement plans can use to invest in equities, promoting the use of more funds going to real estate (this was my understanding of the changes) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superannuation_in_Australia

And now including your housing as part of your superannuation, which I wasn't aware of.

Every time I think they've run out of levers to pull, they find another one.

When I arrived here in 2011, I thought real estate was cheap compared to rents, that equation has completely flipped.
Not a fan of TSLA, but isn't night driving just a special case of daytime driving if you use IR and/or hyperspectral cameras?
I think that in the context of AR they actually are trying to talk about "universes that describe a universe".

A "metaverse" is a "universe" in the sense that it's a shared 4D spacetime that you can explore (using some technology to give you a window into it). It's "meta" because it's layered on top of our "base universe": It's there to describe and augment the physical universe we exist in.

For example: If, in your vision (via glasses, or a HUD, or a pane of glass or a brain implant), there's a big 3D arrow hovering above a road then the arrow exists in the "metaverse" and the road exists in the physical universe that the metaverse is describing.
That’s funny because I see lots of families in my apartment building.

Yes it does. I use it everyday. Which Apple TV do you have?

Many recent products have actually been thicker. New iPhone is thicker/heavier. New iPad is thicker/heavier. AirPods Pro are chunkier than regular AirPods. AirPods Max are some of the heaviest headphones in the market. Their new Mac Pro is a massive, modular beast. etc etc

Apple is never first to market. But when they do enter, they tend to wipe the market clean. They also never talk about unreleased products.

It is also worth noting that in the example above (assuming we accept the 150k as normal and that growth as typical) that 150k was a solid amount of money.

In 1990 the median income for someone with a a high school diploma was 26k. For someone with a masters degree it was still 50k. An educational attainment was lower across the board.

So if you didn't have 150k then I guess you're screwed since they weren't going to let apartments to be built for so long? The only situation where you'd get that ROI is if the supply of houses had been constrained strictly for so long - which almost by definition means that rents grew at that rate too.

Companies can always issue new shares to dilute you (or in Apple's case, buy them back to reduce the number of shares)
Unless:

- you can work remotely,

- it’s nice where there are no other people,

- there’s really a lot of land, eg. if you split Europe into 1000 square meter parcels it will fit over 10 billion people,

- the nicer the place the faster population declines (somehow).
There is very limited land in places where you want to be. There is endless land in the middle of nowhere but that isn’t very useful for most people.

You just need to press the brakes harder. Like 3 times harder, not 30.

If you park in a slope and turn the engine off you can try braking after pumping the vacuum out - it works just fine.

I was reading about the mob going after Billie Eilish and it made me very sad, because her so-called sins were committed when she was 14. Cancel culture is this monster that has no decency, and no point other than tk ruin peoples lives at the lulz and amusement of the masses. Our most prudent step for the future is to get off social media, and for companies to stop giving in to the mobs. My heart goes out to this guy. I’m not condoning, forgiving, or excusing anything he has done, but when did this country turn its back on forgiveness and redemption?
Why couldn't other countries just implement the same system? Is there something magical about Swiss people that makes them handle direct democracy responsibly that other populations doesn't have?

More than just on boot. For the brief time that I ran Win10 on an HDD, what it felt like was that the whole OS was almost constantly touching the disk, for whatever reason, often blocking. Open start menu? Better do a bunch of disk I/O. Moused over anything? Touch the disk. Pressed a key? Hit disk. Doing nothing? Disk time!

Whatever they're doing is probably fine, for very liberal values of "fine" (i.e. it's not actually fine and is probably harming system-wide performance and UX in more subtle ways, even on SSDs) for SSD-equipped systems, but made it practically unusable on an HDD.

I think your calculation includes a yearly inflation rate of 9% for property, and also it includes an inflation rate for housing of about 34% if you consider that 1 apartment may equate to perhaps 1/8th of a single family home on the same plot of land.
It seems possible in theory. The air is thinner at higher altitudes, and wind resistance is a big part of fuel economy, isn't it?

Suppose you're going to make a 100 mile (160 km) trip. You have two possible routes. One is a straight shot on level ground. The other is straight, too, but it takes you up a 10% grade for the first 10 miles (gaining 1 mile in altitude), then you continue on level ground for 80 miles, and then you descend a matching 10% grade at the end.

It seems like the 80 miles of cruising on level ground at high altitude would use less battery than 80 miles of cruising at sea level (if the speeds are the same).

There will be some losses due to climbing and descending. Maybe climbing and descending is a little less efficient. Also, you're definitely traveling a very slightly longer distance. But those losses might be made up for spending the bulk of your trip in thinner air.
Well, they come in different shapes and tunes: without talking hackers or espionage, you also have “investors” kindly asking for details of your software. In fact, in many fields (and mine, materials informatics), you can file a patent for the end product of your software (novel alloys, in my case) while keeping your code entirely private. How could they troll you then? Patents make their own industry as well.
My prediction is that Tesla will eventually use LIDAR despite whatever they are saying now.

Right now their profit model is selling cars, not autonomy, so everything is optimized for that, including the decision to not use LIDAR.
Not sure this generational divide argument holds water much. The children of boomers, who grew up in relatively nice houses with backyards, similarly want nice houses. Increasing supply in an urban planning context involves increasing high density dwellings in the inner city. This is a hard pill to swallow for adults who remember playing cricket in the backyard with their Dad or whatever idyllic notion they are left with from their wonderful childhoods (not a joke, Australian kids have great childhoods by any metric). The boomer parents also want the same thing for their adult children, and help fund the acquisition. As boomers die off and the wealth passes to their kids, they will invariably spend it on houses (or second houses) as well.

I also think different cities in Austrlia have differnet issues. Adelaide has a very old demographic and little migration, and has the problem that their health care costs are going to greatly exceed their revenue. Melbourne has had too much migration, which tends to just make the economy look fine but causes a lot of strain on infrastructure. Melbourne and Sydney also suffer from being gravity wells for migration, so that people don't leave for better paying work elsewhere or cheaper housing. They choose to suffer underemployment in very competitive and saturated labour markets with unaffordable housing. I include myself here.

Housing affordability is not going to improve. There is no way prices are going to correct by the 30% - 40% in desirable places to live to get into the realm of affordability. Increasing urban density is neither attractive to people nor likely to happen. It's done and dusted. The only thing to hope for is that the rate of change will slow down, and wages will improve so that at some point in 30 years time affordability will be better. That means there will be a generation of people who don't own their homes, and the comparison to the previous generation will be highly unfavourable. Being an elderly renter is a greatly inferior experience, and the government outlay for housing the elderly will simply increase more and more.

The 'solution' to my mind is to strongly encourage people to move to places with more affordable housing and good living conditions.
The annual population growth in the US in the last 40 years is around 1%, and is diminishing (latest numbers show 0.5%).

Yep I love the git GUI in Jetbrains IDEs, especially the change lists and shelf based workflow. I also like using the IDE’s diff to quickly use parts of an old shelved patch or when I’m working through a book I can diff my project with the answer repo to quickly see and work through the differences. But my favorite feature is Local History which has saved me from many overzealous git disasters: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/local-history.html

Basically the IDE has its own revision history of your project’s files that it stores and you can recover your files from it. So when you accidentally revert instead of undo or use —-hard when you didn’t really mean to, Local History comes and saves the day.

That doesn't make sense. Population didn't grow in the order of hundreds of percents in the recent years.
haha, this was at Microsoft, and the dash button was a glowing success compared to the project I'm talking about

I'd better not dump any more details though, since it's technically still under NDA..

What I'd really like would be a good set of questions to ask as the job interviewee to help me filter out bad teams/orgs. I guess the ability to do that could be considered part of the skillset of a good VP of engineering, though, so maybe it's unreasonable to expect us grunts to pull it off..
Australia is definitely not running out of land. Sydney continues to grow further and further west, and there are now multiple Sydney cities including CBD, North Sydney, Chatswood, Paramatta is undergoing huge development, and Penrith is next on the cards.
I fully expect to see Woolongong and further south continue to boom as well as central coast and Newcastle over the next 20 years.

My understanding is Melbourne is seeing a similar result with people and companies continuing to move out toward Geelong, but I'm not there, so don't know.

I was in Brisbane last week, and that is an amazing city, and it also seems to have lots of room to grow.

Perth is quite a small city, and I believe could easily grow.
