I'm so sad I'll never get to experience this. I don't think with covid, arcades will ever be economically viable again. Even with a vaccine it's a high risk low reward activity to have so many people gathered around in such a small space.

However there are tons of arcade bars in the US. Hopefully this will become a thing in Japan

It doesn't work well in rain, snow, fog, dust, etc. It's great in good conditions, but you either have a car that can drive only in good conditions, or you need a car that can drive safely without LIDAR. (Or someone needs to invent a better LIDAR.)
My initial reaction is to disagree with this statement and to point out that I think the parent comment is sorting the issue well.

As I think about more though, I must wonder if this could be a regional thing and varies.. and or if that is relevant to the specifics in this thread.

The more I think about it, I wonder if places like Cali and NY would think of things in that manner.. with places like Texas and TN thinking very differently.

It's an interesting thought, and wonder if there is data / polls out there for something seemingly basic like this.
But there's also a danger: if the only tool leadership can think of to affect how things get done is to redraw the org chart, you get management-through-reverse-Conway.

There are other ways to tell people how to behave than shifting their reporting lines, but some leaders haven't heard of them.

> Animals do just fine with more complex navigation challenges than driving a car.

Do you have any scenarios in mind? Driving is not only a navigation challenge, but a social challenge as well. Have you ever tried to navigate a 4 way stop when multiple cars get there at the same time?
probably trying to lure over some boston dynamics devs with dojo perf and toolchain speed
Banks still control what you can do with UPI. Several banks threatened to close customer accounts if they traded crypto currency.
I loved the no-frills reveal. I’m surprised it wasn’t a collaboration with Boston Dynamics. To paraphrase Elon: “We have the vision and AI so we might as well ship Optimus. Don’t worry, you can outrun it, if you can run faster than 5mph! Coming out sometime next year.” Looking fwd to it.
Exactly. I’m not saying trust my employer or that I dont, I don’t care that much. Logging into slack on my phone doesn’t give them access to all my life. I don’t have to be a slave to the company but I don’t have to be a slave to paranoia either.
If you watch the presentation it looks like something they thought of 5 minutes before the presentation. Doubt there's even a prototype. He didn't know what to say about it, just showed the slide and then when people asked questions about it he looked like he was considering everything for the first time.
Every new college grad and intern I work with I give the same message: always separate work hardware and software from your personal life.

Yes it costs money and is mildly inconvenient.

Having your personal life vacuumed up into legal discovery changes that attitude quickly.

Also seeing what IT might be logging out of your laptop is sobering.
I would not use a database for large files like this.

At https://foxyfic.com we store the large files in object storage (like S3 or Azure blob storage) and then store a link to that in the database where necessary.
> This becomes very problematic when hypergrowth companies are desperate to recruit so they start hiring friends of current employees via referral. When you hire groups of people who have a history together, they tend to stick together in the new org and resist integrating into the company culture. They want to isolate themselves and operate like they did a few years back at a previous company. You end up with a lot of pockets of people trying to operate as independent teams with their own work culture.

I have seen this at a company I've worked at that experienced rapid growth. The strategy they employed was Split and Absorb: first they substantially increased the size of middle management such that the manager-to-IC ratio was something like 2:1. Next each manager was given the ability to Absorb, and they had a lot of time available to them for hiring and onboarding due to the fact that they were managing maybe 3 people each.

In practice I saw this start to fail almost immediately for multiple reasons. First, there began to be a cultural divide between the people who were hired organically (who were typically at the bottom of the ladder) and middle management (who were typically friends from previous jobs). There were communication breakdowns as more management discussions were being done in private channels between friends instead of with the teams. Lastly it was hard for people at the bottom to bring up concerns; even if every IC on a team agreed a problem needed to be solved, there were only 2 of you, but your manager would discuss it with their 10 friends and that made it hard for the people at the bottom to have their perspective heard in an equal light.

> It takes some work to break up those cliques and fold them back in.

How do you actually do this? Who at a company should be taking these steps?

In theory I'm not exactly sure where it went wrong. If you're going huge amounts of time without any applicants then you can't avoid bringing in referrals, and management might even prefer for their friends to be brought into management roles due to alignment in values and culture. For the clique problem, I'm not entirely sure what an organization can do to avoid that. It's unrealistic in my opinion to assume referrals will always stay objective about everything that involves their friends, and if management has this problem then who are the Watchmen who will address that problem?
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I definitely didn't word my post very well.

I didn't mean they're the singular successful US auto manufacturer

I meant that they're the first (for production scale that is, sure there are a few here and there making models w/ <1000 to be ever made) created in quite some time that has been successful.
Backdoor access? Why would Apple conceivably need a backdoor for data you already willingly gave them? How could Apple not have frontdoor access to your iCloud?
What you need are more parameters than the complexity of the underlying distribution. If you drop to a linear function you're modelling, you only need a couple of parameters.

"Overfitting" is memorizing the training data instead of generalizing. The example you're providing isn't overfitting, it's just generalizing to the wrong function. Overfitting would be if the validation set was, say, 30 random values that you got right, but didn't get other values along the same lines correct.

> I didn't specify the training set, just the test set

Then unless you constructed the training set with the intent of mistraining the model, I think a training set that got good accuracy on that validation set would generalize.

> The point is that it doesn't require trillions of parameters to overfit to a trillion-sized test set.

You can't "overfit" a validation set, unless you've done something wrong. Overfitting is, by definition, learning the training set too well such that you fail to generalize to a validation set.

There are a lot of levels and definitions of AI. Elon and team clearly refer to their own products as "narrow" AI, which it literally is by definition.
This isn't true for me; I have a separate Apple ID for work. I was never explicitly told to use my personal one.
Mine broke too.
> Why would it be desirable to train a model from a CSV on the command line?

Well, CSVs are ubiquitous. That being said, people tend to either buy in to the command line or not. It's basically a matter of opinion. To me, the ability to automate the use of a tool is a massive force multiplier which the cli is built for. To other people, the ease of use of a gui is preferable to googling for cli syntax or reading man pages.

> Writing a data science pipeline with command line tools really just means writing a data science pipeline in your terminal's shell programming language. If that sounds like a good idea to you, I'd be curious to hear why.

If by my terminals shell programming language you mean my terminals shell programming language, any program that can be called from the cli, any program that can export in csv, any program that can produce $format that can be converted to csv, and virtually limitless combinations of other tools and methods then yes!

Self-driving car community: You realise FSD is literally going to require strong AI, right?

Elon: Hey good point, we should use FSD tech on a humanoid robot since it's strong AI.
Some time ago when I hired on at Apple (I've since moved on to greener pastures) I had a tough time provisioning my corporate MacBook. Every time I tried entering my work email address I got kicked into an unfamiliar auth flow that ended up not working. After I mentioned how much trouble I was having, someone sitting near me in the office told me I needed to use a personal Apple ID to provision the device.

I created a completely new consumer iCloud account and used that. I never did anything remotely "personal" on that machine, and after I left Apple I never used that iCloud account again. In fact I don't even remember my password for it.

I went so far as to carry two iPhones, one personal and the other "corporate," and I only ever used my "corporate" iPhone with Apple employee apps. I never even connected my personal phone to the campus WiFi; I used wireless data for that phone the entire time I was there.

That said, I don't recall ever being asked to merge my personal and work accounts. It's just that if you want to do any personal stuff with corp hardware, it's much more convenient to just use your personal Apple ID when you provision the hardware.
"None" is definitely not true. The smoking section is often separated, or on another floor but they definitely exist. Often with the Dart machines and/or with the more gambling style machines (not specifically pachinko).
The biggest problem with the arcade bars in Chicago is that if you go more than a handful of times they become very boring if you go with the intent of playing games while drinking versus drinking while playing games. The games are almost all universally old and most are simply less fun as soon as the nostalgia wears off. Some are better than others but they all become old quick.

Replay is the biggest offender of this, they spend thousands of dollars every few weeks to theme the bar but pretty much every game came out before 99 with tons being from the 80s. And they barely maintain them. Also the theme drinks are pretty much all the same and overpriced, just with a different name.
Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 in Human Semen and Effect on Total Sperm Number
The bot wasn't a product announcement. They just announced that they're trying to build one, which probably won't look like that at all when it's ready. It was expected, because there has been hints about it.

Everyone knows robots are the future and it'll certainly be interesting watching tech companies entering this space. Apple is probably building one too (hiding it as autonomous car program).
Seems like it would be very useful for early Spacex missions

Ah bless you - another COVID-19 fear porn article within 24 hours, this time with the nouveau storyline introduction that takes up 80% of the content before it gets to the point.

Thank you OP, we couldn't have done it with you.
Payment processing is not a natural monopoly. The fact that it is a duopoly demonstrates that there could be competition in the space, so you can't use that as an excuse.
Yeah that's why I'm curious. It looks similar to some commercial mapping applications as it has some georeference display and map related controls but then it's just displaying what looks like a pre-baked map. I couldn't find any Android apps with a similar UI. I hope someone has some more information about it.
Actual support animals are so well trained I’d be shocked if there was a single occurrence of one pooping on someone’s rug. I was recently on a 76 hour train sitting a few rows back from a support dog in training: not a peep out of him the entire ride, was able to hold his bladder for the infrequent smoke stops, I couldn’t believe the capability of the trainer to get a dog acting so professionally xD
> For example, early in ancient empires, many rose in status via winning military battles, or perhaps by building new trading regimes. But later in such empires, status was counted more in terms of your connections to other statusful people. Which led to neglect of military success, and thus empire collapse.

Is this being said seriously? As someone that once aspired to be a historian this sounds like a massive oversimplification. But maybe this is a hyperbolic rethorical resource. It does sound Toynbeesque though, so maybe the author is taking this from Toynbee's work?

I feel like these examples/arguments/proofs need to be developed a lot more to be consistent, specially for an article hosted in a domain called "overcomingbias.com".
> It doesn’t help that most of the company is Polish and their culture comes off as very rude to Americans :)

I've always worked with Americans, and they struck me as very sensitive, whereas we tend to be much more direct. I adapted, and then I worked with Canadians, to whom my American style was seen as boorishly coarse.
There's "differences in valuation" and then there's Tesla's >300 PE ratio.
That actually undermines the gym-style business model of a lot of porn sites where they rely on people subscribing and not using it much.
Unlike other sperm studies I’ve seen, this has a mostly young, healthy group of patients, with mostly mild cases.

Result? 50% drop in sperm count compared to matched controls!

Recovery to 75% after three months, but much smaller subset. Three months is sufficient time for sperm turnover.

This is why it's optimal to avoid copying some vim ninja's ~/.vimrc because if you do it's usually too much to process all at once, especially how it differs from the default.
You fret about not being able to trade up because everything is expensive, but at least you live without dread of housing affordability. Find satisfaction with your position. Try to find a way to leverage it for the sake of your children.

Heard of someone who sold while the real estate market here is superheated and plans to rent until it drops. Personally, I don't expect it to drop for a while yet (it hasn't really dropped for decades here).
Economically, some people get ashamed, embarrassed or outright offended that paying for sexually explicit material somehow makes that person property that owe them anything they like in return, so chargebacks in this sector are extremely high.

I’m the same way. For times I absolutely need an app (like banking or healthcare), I’ll boot up an old iPhone I keep around for that exact purpose. Otherwise, I keep no apps other than browsers on my current phone.
It’s as beneficial as listening to music or watching tv is. It’s not inherently more beneficial just because it involves books. No one said tv or music is bad for you and neither is fiction. Just remember it’s entertainment for the most part. Im yet to see someone become wiser because they consume a ton of fiction.
I mean sure if you’re not in a position where you’re actually dealing with people trying to bring animals where they don’t belong every day.
I've seen both sides of this. Heavily scripted Jenkins groovy files and weird YAML Gitlab pipe lines who admittedly are hard to deal with and understand especially for someone new.

IME I prefer the YAML files because it forces the "DevOps" guy to put most of the stuff in outside scripts, which can than be tested and run on a local dev machine.

Nothing worse than having to debug a freaking CI runner. I never got why a job should be more complicated than "fetch -> build -> test -> deploy" with maybe a bit of intelligence to handle build triggers and artifact management.

I don't want to deal with a web of groovy scripts with sed hacks everywhere and which involves 10 other jobs who does the same kind of unholy blasphemous hacks and who always break one another.
You are not weird at all. I feel the same. Being rich is not a goal in itself. It is just a tool that you might use to solve your real goal. However if you don’t think deeply enough to realise what your real goal is then you might not realise that most goals can be achieved without becoming rich.
Every salesperson I know has two cell phones.
Yes, they have been repeating this argument but intuitively it doesn't doesn't make sense to me. How is it more difficult than stiching a dozen cameras together? Even a single point in the lidar map can provide distance information to giant median columns Tesla cars keep missing. Any computer-vision experts can weigh in on this? Isn't Waymo doing this already?

Another argument is to not fuse the data. Just keep it as a backup decision maker akin to how Aviation systems are designed. If both systems agree, then you have additional reliability. Would love to hear from someone who's worked on these kinds of FSD systems.
Backdoor as in Apple Security is free to riffle through your shit without notice and don't need to ask for any passwords or access (the front door).
Best practices for deploying Zookeeper across regions
My bad I was imagining from a personal boundaries at work perspective, and not a litigation one
A lot of people want to talk about the Tesla Bot. That is clearly in the early stages. Can we talk about Dojo? This seems like a pretty crazy projects. A fully integrated super computer designed from core to multi-rack design.

I have never really seen a system integrated like that? Are there other examples of people doing this? They seem to have designed some kind of sled that connect to power and liquid cooling system.

Can somebody with some expertise in large scale training compare this to state of the art?
Ten years ago I bought an e-bike for $500. Sure it uses lead-acid batteries which are heavy but it works well and is still running. Costs me $80 to replace the batteries in a battery pack. What am I getting for an $1800 higher price? Double the range does not seem worth it, I can just carry some spare battery packs. I'm thinking maybe there is a solution to the climate crisis, inequality, and pollution somewhere in this price difference.
U.S. reviewing possibility Moderna vaccine linked to higher risk of myocarditis
Every project Elon does I hear him talk about cost efficiency. For the second richest man on the planet he's very concerned about money and cost. Even with his rockets, the conversation always revolves around cost per kilogram (or whatever) to get stuff to space, and how his main objective is to lower that cost as much as possible. Today he talked about the importance of keeping the Tesla bot inexpensive. The importance of making compute power cheaper per metric of computing.

In regards to LIDAR - I think it's possible to drive safely without depth perception. One eyed humans do it just fine. It may not make sense to have LIDAR on every single machine you want to have vision processing with, including the Tesla bot. So it makes sense to solve problems without using it.
My takeaways:

They're using transformers to persist occluded objects which is very cool.

Path planning is done almost entirely without neural networks. The do have an optimization routine which runs on the car with cost functions for comfort, distance, etc.

They have HD maps but the data is stored in the vision network's latent space. A joke was made about the vision network overfitting and storing a representation of the whole world, ie an HD map embedded in the network weights.

Also a comment was made about detecting pillars, seems that's on top of mind for the team.
In these cases, it's usually not the payment processors' call.

Visa & Mastercard are happy to ban an entire company from their platform (see PornHub).
Maybe finish the Roadster you promised us 5 years ago first.
Their current payment processors probably didn't tolerate the amount of child porn on it and the amount of underage grooming occurring, and their options were probably to switch to services porn sites do actually use, which take a bigger cut.

But this doesn't stop the absolutely gone people raging about some abstract idea of freedom to post asshole pics on the internet. Cobalt mines.
you hop between companies in the same industry contacts are fluid. everyone takes their reputation with them. everything is blended.

you learn to never put anything questionable in writing. Most people dont even hint at things, just not worth the risk.
