Yes but they are phasing out radar in favor of vision-only. Model 3 and Y have been shipping without radar braking for the past few months.
I spent a long time working alongside quants in the City, in several large and small companies. Some of the quants seemed to enjoy their work a lot, a few less so. It depends on the team and the company to a large extent I suspect.

If you really can't find any fun place in the City as a quant, consider eg a data scientist role elsewhere.

I don't think that I have yet paid myself (eg a CTO of start-ups, with an MSc) what you probably got as your opening salary. I worked in IT, but the money wasn't a motivator and so I never moved to trading as friends did, or into management...
This is a great game - my first thought when I played it was that it was quite unique, though since it's a clone of another game I guess that's not exactly true. It is, at least, quite different to most of the RTS I have played (like AOE, C&C, etc).

The military aspect is very limited, which is exactly what I love about it. In most other RTS I have played, economy is a secondary concern at best and, once you get a decent sized military, really not a concern at all. In Widelands, building and maintaining a strong, sophisticated economy is the central goal.
One thing TA and all of its successors kept was the ability to have units assist in construction. For instance, you have your commander plunk down a factory, then order the commander to assist with anything the factory is doing. Early on, this will be creating engineers (builders) and your first defensive units. Then you have your commander and engineers build/upgrade your level 2 factory.. rinse and repeat. It turns into a virtuous cycle.

The upshot of this is that it creates opportunities for prioritization (and opportunities for blowing past your income if you're not careful).
> Doesn't the former enable the latter?

Not necessarily. ECS is a local maxima when developing a general purpose game engine. Since it's general purpose it can do nothing more than provide a lowest common denominator interface that can be used to make any game. If you are building a game from scratch why would you limit yourself to a lowest common denominator interface when there's no need? Just write the exact concrete code that needs to be there to solve the problem.

> Our job as engineers is to make software that functions according to some set of desires, and those desires may directly conflict with approaching an optimal transform.

All runtime desires of the software must be encoded in the transform. So no software functionality should get in the way of approaching the optimal transform. What does get in the way of approaching the optimal transform is code organization, architecture and abstraction that is non-essential to performing the transform.

… Nvidia did release lower end cards that target the same market and price point as the 6600 XT a lot earlier than AMD though - as far as MSRP goes the 3060 and 3060 Ti bracket the 6600 XT’s $380 at $329 and $399 (not that MSRP means a thing right now) and similarly brackets performance, and even the MSRP was not received well in conjunction with the 1080p marketing. Both manufacturers have basically told the mid and low range market to buy a console even if you are lucky enough to get an AMD reference or Nvidia FE card.

I particularly enjoyed the concepts presented in this article, from recognizing how confident you are in a certain idea to understanding the steps it takes for someone to be rational.

Being self-aware I've only started learning post college and is something I wish I was taught more growing up. As a child I was always informed that I should do x and y because that's what you're supposed to do! Only now as an adult I'm taking the time to slowly ponder and analyze myself and be more strategic with my future goals.

Side note. Really enjoyed the audio version of this long form article
Sounds like you've got a bit of burnout. I felt like this a while back, I got though it by working for a company I really felt I had an impact and enjoyed the work culture.

I'd counter argue that leaving London doesn't have to mean the end of a career. Have you tried looking at other places in the UK to live/work? I'm a bit bias but Bristol is a fantastic city to live in and the tech scene is really well developed. Lots of start ups, mid sized and large companies. Plenty of banks/fin tech companies are based here too.

One of the things that have helped me get though burnout was to do other things outside of work. Be that go for food, cinema or even visiting tourist sites.
Is there a way to check if a website does read your clipboard. I know you have to interact with the site, so they can read it. So in theorie, a website can read your clipboard every time you click on something, is this true?
Both this and Zero-K use the same engine (SpringRTS).
That's accurate. BAR's roots are indeed with BA but split in part due to this copyright concern. We've since implemented a number of improvements and a huge amount of remodelling.

I built my dream workbench. The commercial ones were too light. I wanted one that was 8 feet long, and 4 deep, that I could bolt a big vise to, and whale away at whatever was in the vise without the bench scittering across the floor.

It is build entirely from 4x4s for the legs, 2x4s for the rest of the frame, and 1x8 planks for the top and shelf. It's all held together with carriage bolts so it can be disassembled, and the top can be replaced. No plywood or glued sawdust.

It only took an hour or so to put together. Very happy with it. I later installed wall sockets in the front so power cords needn't be draped over the top.

The only problem was drilling the bolt holes perpendicular. I later acquired a drill press to solve that.
Interesting. I typically write it as macOS in conversation, but wasn't aware it was seen as correct to capitalise the M.

The control group was similarly composed but did not show the mood effect.
The problem is how much shit will we put up with to stop an islamic majority nuclear power from collapsing into the hands of a jihad leaning ideology.

Pakistan's intelligence service, ISI, is very good at playing the game of "Boy it'd be a shame if this nuclear information/material were to fall into the hands of say, the iranians. Did you know we could really use some money for fighter jets to help defend us from india?"

There are no good options in this region.
In traffic is where traffic aware cruise control is most useful. A lot of people I knew who bought Tesla's in the bay area specifically bought it so their commutes would be less stressful with the bumper to bumper traffic. I drove 3000+ miles across the country last year with > 90% of it on AP and I was way less tired with AP on vs off and it allowed me to just stay focused on the road and look out for any issues.
This is a bit of a Linux specific view of the universe. Yes posix has a standard for how sh should work. But there were specific implementations of sh, and you would get those on commercial Unix or *BSD.

Later shells came in and filled some gaps. OpenBSD still has ksh by default. Linux distros had bash as their /bin/sh.
There's definitely an argument for making hay while the sun shines. But retiring early exposes you more to future bear markets since the value/returns of your investment portfolio will go down. Being employed seems a lot more resilient in that case.
Indeed! I was looking for the same comparison.

In Canada the Highway Act states that you must move over (change lanes) for stopped emergency vehicles. It seems to solve that problem gracefully, leaving an empty lane between the stopped vehicles and traffic.
Considering that less than 0.3% of cars in the US are Teslas and that - I would guess - less than 10% of them are using autopilot at any given time - they are likely 100s of times more likely to hit first responders.
I also had one of these (that's what I was referring to). Between that and AT&T exclusivity in the US (right after all the domestic wiretapping info became public) it just wasn't an option for me at the time.
I don't really understand the loyalty card thing anyways.

When I lived in the midwest, I'd just get a card from Kroger but never fill out the paperwork. I thought I was being clever, but as pointed out, they still track you by your payment method. With that being the case, why do loyalty cards still exist? For cash buyers?
I have this game. It is beautiful and fun, but I miss the more direct interaction of games with a shared space where multiple players interact more directly/compete for resources.
The BAR music is really good, in the same theme done by a professional composer. It's not a full orchestra on the level of the TA soundtrack, which is simply one of the best of all time, but it excellent on its own and captures much of the essence.
Just so I am clear, is "CTA" here "call-to-action". And you're against anything with a call-to-action in it?

With the 50fps issue, was that in the lobby or during a large battle? Secondly, how long ago was this. There have been some improvements which may have resolved this issue.

As for the AI, depending on how long ago it was we've either made lots of improvements or a few small ones. Unfortunately it's one of the areas we have fewer devs.

I won't try to tell you how to live your life, but I did want to chime in on one thing you said: "I find it difficult to muster up any enthusiasm during job interviews, which is probably a red flag for potential employers..."

This is the opposite of my experience, and having worked as a consultant/contractor for the past decade I've done quite a few. It's a lot like a first date, in that an excess of enthusiasm is off-putting (why are they so desperate?), and appearing not yet convinced you're interested is a bonus.

Of course you want to be professional and courteous, but going into a job interview not sure if you want the job, is often the best way to get it.

No job is always fun, that's why they pay you instead of the other way around. But you shouldn't be in tears when you start the week. Start "fishing" for a job, and see what's out there, and because you are already employed, you can be patient and choosy. Good luck.
Sure I get it, but these are people i worked with in person until last year. It just feels like with the remote working thing we are transforming from people into interchangeable virtual entities.
Personally I'd chunk these feelings down into bite-sized goals, and work to completing them one by one. For example, 1) Find a remote job 2) leave the city 3) own a home 4) travel 5) retire early

Each will have it's own complex requirements and take time to achieve, but I think taking some time to lay out your goals clearly, and staring to feel progress towards them will help make the trapped feeling go away.

Also, in my personal experience it's become important to separate my job from my hobbies. I used to spend all my free time on the computer, but these days it's my full time job and then some, and I've found it very refreshing to find other hobbies to pursue in my free time.
Not that specifically. I switched from standard to PWYW after a year of sales and I felt I had made enough and wanted it to be open. I still get decent sales, but the majority of income was always from print books which are not PWYW

Assuming that belted and unbelted people get into accidents at the same rate, and given another commenter mentioning that Autopilot users have 8.7x lower accident rate than baseline, that makes Autopilot a greater safety add than seat belts, no?

Richart D Ruddie Words of Wisdom on Effective Altruism
Sustainable thinking and effective altruism creates a world that is better for all of us living in it. Sustainability contributes to resilience and other advice in this mini post from Richart D Ruddie touches on the issues at hand and if we did a podcast looking at comments on twitter and instagram how worried we would be about society and our future.
I remember reading about this when it came out because I was a Bruce Campbell fan. I think I eventually saw it from a dvd I got from netflix. I remember it being a fun movie and the lack of obvious cuts was pretty well done.
Seems like you should be able to work remotely with your skill set even if you have to change jobs. If you can convince your partner to also go remote, then you could both become digital nomads and get your travel in. Or, you don't have to go full digital nomad, you could both just leave London.

There's not much point to staying in a job you hate if you have other options. Money isn't everything and not everyone survives to retirement (even early retirement).
I remember reading Donald Norman's books decades ago, and one of the prime examples of the dangers of automation in cars was adaptive cruise control- which would then suddenly accelerate forward in a now-clear off-ramp, surprising the heck out of the previously-complacent driver, and leading to accidents.

We've known for a very long time that this sort of automation/manual control handoff failure is a very big deal, and yet there seems to be an almost willful blindness from the manufacturers to address it in a meaningful way.
But the car doesn’t need to drive itself to avoid those factors, it just needs to have radar auto braking
dude you can't just drop a hard R like that on HN
Do you really want 12 random people to have power over extraordinarily complex matters like FDA drug approval or military systems acquisition?
Many high paying jobs are meaningless for the reason they are high-paying: they (the company) needs someone to do the job, and the combination of required skill and meaninglessness means that nobody who can do the job really wants to do the job.

If a lot of people who could do it wanted to do it, the pay would drop. The other way around also applies: if a lot of people want it, and a lot of them actually can do it, the pay drops as well.

But now that not a lot of people want it (because it might be meaningless and/or unfulfilling) and it requires a specific skillset and isn't highly available, you get in exactly your position.

Instead of focusing on early retirement (which signals that working seems to equate 'bad'? and being free from the 'bad' is the ultimate goal?), focusing on what you actually want (instead of focusing of the negation of what you don't want) might get you much more of a direction to look for work/life.

In the end, money and by extension, wealth, doesn't really mean all that much. It's what you end up doing that has the meaning. And 'doing' doesn't always require a lot of money (or wealth in general).

Regarding technology, you'll have to find out what it is in technology that you actually want. Some people want to think about things and try things out. Others want to build things. Or perhaps you're in to managing people and enabling them to do the thinking/building/operating. All of those types of jobs can be done remotely (as in: fully remote). This means that you are neither bound to a specific city, nor to a specific office building to 'go to'.

The other part of the story, the city where you live, that's a different problem. If you simply don't like the city, then there is no way around it (like doing something with your job), you'll end up leaving the city so best to start working on that.

Retiring doesn't equate having fun. Neither does travelling the world. That's just an instagram crutch. Perhaps the problem lies in stress, top-down management or 'targets' or something. There is plenty of work where those don't apply. There is also plenty of work there those do apply. It's very easy to be stressed or getting 'managed' when you are retired and not working. The same applies to targets.

Perhaps it's my personal experience (or your personal experience) but there is a huge difference between the way 'work' can express itself in its various incarnations. Work that requires being managed, having some rate, ratio or target to hit, fight-for-your-bonus or work more than 35 hours a week no longer something I'd personally be willing to accept at this stage. Depending on what you have to offer and what the company has to offer, that is a choice you can make with plenty of options left to pick from.

I've been in software development 28 years. Seems like we're writing the same stuff we always did, except now it's in a language virtual machine running in a container running in a hardware abstraction VM running on actual hardware in the cloud. Thanks to hardware advances, we can move exponentially sharper images, bigger files, more polygons, but the actual complexity of what software is doing is increasing at a slow linear pace. The biggest gains now are in horizontal scaling, we can now handle way more users in parallel than we ever did 10 years ago. But for most products that don't need to handle a billion users, it's at least as hard to produce a shipping product as it was 20 years ago.
It was just not knowing how long the form was... it felt like it was a choose your own adventure where my answered dictated what the next question was (which was obviously not the case, just the feeling I had).

I think something like a (1/10, 2/10, etc...) in front or behind the question would have been helpful. Then you at least know how many more questions there are.

Congrats on the launch -- first contact with potential customers must have a lot of little things like this.
> For me that these papers get accepted is rather a sign that scientific consensus is on the side of masks work.

Well that's a great way to confirm your biases. The "scientific consensus" was that the earth was the center of the universe, that infection was transmitted by miasma, that plate tectonics were a crackpot theory...I could go on.

Science is the history of well-controlled experiment overturning consensus thinking.

In any case, editorial review is a human process, and like all human processes, has ample sources of error. In this case, a big source of error is that the major scientific journals have spent the better part of 2020 falling all over themselves to publish garbage about Covid that gets press hits.

> Usually, it takes 2 -5 years to get a nature paper ready (at least for the labs I know).

This obviously isn't true in this case. The pandemic hasn't been around for that long!

Also, no, it doesn't take 2-5 years to put together an editorial. Even in normal times.
Rationality can be re-phrased as coming up with the optimal solution to a problem. If you only have finite compute/memory/time, your solution is 'bounded' by those constraints - i.e. your job is now find the best solution possible given the constraints.
Looks like there is some other deceptive stuff going on as well - for example, they apparently collected and stored transaction data even when developers didnt request it (at least, they are agreeing to delete this data now, so it must have been collected in some cases).
I honestly don’t know what exactly irony means.
