I make these kinds of maps for a living.

Yes, it's expensive, however, as we refine algorithms, and the processing systems, it gets cheaper, especially amortized over more cars, where the per-car cost becomes affordable.

ML doesn't work well enough for offline maps generation either, and all the high quality maps require human editors for final touch.

All this work is currently done because realtime perception doesn't work well enough, and you can have a much more reliable system with the aid of the maps. Having a 3D base map of the world makes the realtime perception problem far simpler, and it makes fancy sensors less critical.

In the US, where the cost of labor is very expensive, self driving will make sense, even if it's expensive, but someplace like China or India, where a middle class person can afford a driver, it probably makes less sense, though the push for it in China is probably the strongest that I've seen anywhere in the world.
You like the UI on Apple TV 4K where since HBO Max uncoupled themselves, entering HBO app for HBO content pops up a “who is watching” ask every single time before letting the content play?

There’s no way these product managers are using their own apps from normal consumer devices. Somewhere around the 18th time you don’t get to see your show until after you re-specify the same singular profile, you’d surely realize this doesn’t make sense.
Unrelated, but does anyone know if Facebook does this? They seem to allow signing up with just an email address, but I haven't tried going through with it and seeing if they'll eventually require a phone number.
If you don't want it constantly connected ie to use built-in apps, the step with allowing it out once is needless or even potentially harmful.

Of course I don't know your usage of it, but generally there is nothing worth downloading in those firmwares, only potentially new ways to serve ads and be obtrusive if facing issues with that. You don't want your previously-OK TV to start showing you some warnings after updating it.
I meant 10 years ago people might have assumed if GM can't make the electric car work than Tesla can't either, and yet here we are.
Shouldn't this rapidly lead to a convergence between self driving cars and human cars though? I assume a lot of the technology is similar.
> You would have needed to predict the pandemic

That was not difficult to do, even in Late December. Most discussions were taking it really casually, and believed that none of that would happen, which is exactly why it happened and how I predicted it. People are be filled with unfounded optimism, overestimate their skills, and underestimate their bad lack.

Combining the three with the belief that most humans are incapable of understanding exponential and autoregressive processes, it became clear.

But all of this is anecdotal evidence and could very well be an instance of a bear predicting a depression, after all, bears predicted 10 out of the last 3 economic crises.
Delivery drivers are climate arsonists and should be treated as such. They should be bicycling. I'm against anything that increases the amount of car traffic.
This is generally the purpose of the law. It's not like this is some life-or-death thing that can't be rectified. Samsung has no legal authority to disable a legally-purchased TV, and they would be sued to death if they used if for evil.
The same argument applies to M1 and people still (successfully) reverse engineer them.
Twitter is stopping viewing, which isn't a fraud / abuse issue at low rates.

In the case of posting, rate limiting / scoring w/o a phone number without explicitly banning until you build more reputation works pretty well from what I can see, and most legit twitter users, especially new ones, don't post a lot and mostly read anyway.

And in twitter's case, I think paying a small amount of crypto would actually be something the CEO is interested in this case for the private types who won't / can't get a phone number. Some of twitter best accounts are anonymous and the CEO is into crypto. Add a monero payment option for those small amounts who aren't fraudulent and are private people and you will probably get rid of a lot of complaints.
I'd love to hear folks' recommendations for non-smart TV's.
I haven't paid attention to this topic in a while and I haven't kept up with the technology.
The NAPALM link seems to be wrong/broken on the NAPALM page under additional features. It links to what looks like a strange feed aggregator. Not sure if anyone from the project is around, I was curious what that library/API/protocol/whatever was.

This is cool for people on the supply side of pure infrastructure. I wish it went a little further up the stack to include applications. It seems to have some rudimentary support via the TCP/IP service options, but it still lacks any concept of clusters.

It would be amazing to me to be able to have it run an analysis like "if we lost this network switch, how many applications would be unaccessible?". This looks like it has the underpinnings to tell me what hosts are going to lose network access, but not to step further up the stack and see what applications are on those hosts, and whether those apps are clustered.

There's basically nothing I've seen for people like SREs that live in the space between infrastructure and code. The infra people have tools like this, and the developers have all kinds of tools to analyze their code, but there's nothing to analyze the mashup of code and infrastructure we call "deployed applications".
So that last paragraph might be pointing to a completely bogus result, rather than an actual IQ drop. It will be interesting to see follow up studies in the years to come.
I maintain that you should consult a dictionary before telling someone what they should have said. Also, we all make mistakes; the thing is to own up rather than doubling down.

On your phone you might have unencrypted private content and information on the other hand on Smart TV you have entertainment apps and entertainment content no private information at least that is what I think most people have and do.

I don't anybody who stores private information on the Smart TV so when stolen Smart TVs start to circulate on the market no private information can be acquired or accessed(besides maybe your login credentials and a credit card) unlike with phones which store vast amount of your private content and information.

Idk how IMEI blacklisting works but if they can block at least your private phone number from the network that's good because rogue user can abuse your private phone number and cause havoc because your personal phone number is attached to your identity in numerous databases and records.
If the price is right, maybe. I live in a semi-rural area (about a house per acre, but unevenly distributed) and we have one Uber driver and a handful of taxi companies. Competition is tough though, my PHEV costs very little to operate and there's always parking and the bus system does on demand rides for $2 during weekdays between the morning and evening peaks.

It seems to be buggy everywhere. I have the app on a Smart TV (LG 2019 OLED), and an Android TV (Nvidia Shield). One will often lock up, so we'll switch to the other. If I just had one device, I'd probably have just cancelled out of frustration.
To be fair, a lot of people right now would willingly pay $5k for the features that are available now, especially if they spend a lot of time on long highway trips.
I would love that but think adding in any kind of automated service will keep it from being the back-then internet.
Thanks for the summary.

May I ask why do you prefer trackballs over say a trackpad? I too like trackballs due to tangible feeling of it but I use a wacom tablet as trackpad for accessibility reasons.

The open nature of Ploopy might be well suited for those with accessibility needs like me but as you say the barrier for entry is high(but so are any other accessibility hardware; unfortunately).
Malicious compliance is certainly one approach, but an org which relies on it is probably messing up in a way that will leak to everything else. I never said the desire for reporting was useful, but it is fundamental to how management works in most places today.

I mean... for a little while until enough of the patients die. I mean that's whats happening.

ICU capacity due to COVID is filled overwhelmingly by unvaccinated people who had a choice in the matter for 9 months straight. If there wasn't a choice I would agree with you.

What is occurring now is completely tolerable to continue to allow to occur and is the consensus in all states, across the entire political spectrum.

Much of their expansion was through mergers and acquisitions of locally founded companies.
So long as it is only urban areas it is a band-aid for the lack of good transit options.

Not that you are wrong, just that you should be wrong because if cities actually had useful transit rural areas would be a much larger share of demand despite not having many people.

I wonder how much this matters with an OS like Linux that will automatically use available RAM as filesystem cache anyway.
Comparing protocols like that is comparing apples to oranges, but I think I see your point.

When people say 'I miss IRC', they don't necessarily mean the technicalities of the protocol though.
In your case that track is just an extra class or two as part of a CS degree, right? If that’s the case, it really doesn’t matter either way. Take it if you’re interested (and you seem to be). On graduation you won’t be distinguishable from someone who didn’t take the extra classes so it neither hurts you or helps you that much. And it’s not like you would say “oh there are no Calc II jobs out there and the compiler job market is very small, let me skip those classes” - that would be ridiculous, those classes just expose you to a bunch of ideas and concepts you haven’t seen before. You can view the ML classes the same way.
I'm pretty sure that this is my favorite Rolling Stones story, ever. In 'Life', Keith Richards talked about it really being Charlie's band, he was just in it.
That's because the article is intended to lay blame at the US exit of Afghanistan and imply that the taliban is executing fighters. In reality, media embedded with soldiers in active combat occasionally die which is a tragedy but less useful for propaganda (hence the title).
Now that CBS ceded to Paramount Plus app, Paramount forgets to update Monday week day late night shows before Tuesday morning. Tuesday shows work on Wed AM, Wed shows on Thu AM, and so on, but not Monday shows on Tue AM.

This was all fine until Paramount opted out of some of the aggregated UI APIs.
How does this become big? As soon as your customers hit ~$10M in annual lending volume, it makes much more sense for them to go direct and cut you (and your fees) out.
One of the nice things about HTML/CSS is that there's such a thing as "user styles", which can apply on top (or instead of) the "author styles".

Opera pioneered this interface, AFAIK, and even had one-click toggle buttons for both author and user styles (as well as images), but most of today's browsers don't make this functionality transparent and available. I suppose you could do via dev tools?

For a simple change like what you're asking, perhaps even changing browser's font settings would suffice?
I've been at this for 15 years and most of my large jumps in salary have been either from job changes or counter offers when I was about to switch jobs. A couple things to keep in mind though:

1. It depends on the company but there is more to compensation than just the salary number. Often promotions will also include changes to bonus amounts (so different levels will have different target bonus %) and equity grants. From the business side it is all "comp" so they can have a different view of total compensation than you do if you are just looking at the salary.

2. If you like your job but feel you are underpaid there is nothing wrong with just asking for a raise. If they want to keep you around then they will usually accommodate you and if they don't want to keep you around then you should start looking for a new job anyway. But you have to ask. For obvious reasons companies want you to think that salary is non-negotiable, but EVERYTHING is negotiable and if they can make it happen IF they want to (or need to).
Lol. Might be time for me to put together an updated set of these:

> Level 5 isn't feasible as much for legal reasons as technical ones.

That point is taken into account under J3016_202104 § 8.8:

“There are technical and practical considerations that mitigate the literal meaning of the stipulation that a Level 5 ADS must
be capable of ‘operating the vehicle on-road anywhere that a typically skilled human driver can reasonably operate a
conventional vehicle,’ which might otherwise be impossible to achieve. For example, an ADS-equipped vehicle that is
capable of operating a vehicle on all roads throughout the US, but, for legal or business reasons, cannot operate the vehicle
across the borders in Canada or Mexico can still be considered Level 5, even if geo-fenced to operate only within the U.S.”.

Relatively straight-forward once you read up on alpm hooks [0] to make sure you're rebuilding the init at the right times. The wiki [1] has working examples that are drop-in dracut replacements for /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/mkinitcpio-{install,remove}. Dracut also makes it easy to build unified kernel images that can be signed for secure boot, which I never figured out how to do with mkinitcpio.

I wonder what specifically Bezos meant? Similarly, I often search for something specific and see "sponsored" results that are what I was searching for, with the same item right below it as part of the organic search results. Or, I'll browse for items, then come back to purchase it later seeing it under "recently viewed." Do those count? If so, I purchase recommended things all the time. If not, I don't think I've ever bought something they organically offered on their main page with 20 years of purchase and browsing history.

Looking at the recommendations right now, they're not very good. Maybe I'm a hard sell? Sure, sidewalk chalk. You might run out of that and want more. Stuff to rekey your lock. I needed that when I bought my house a few years ago...I'm not sure why I would need that now. An air conditioner support bracket. I bought one last year much earlier in the summer.
I’ve complained to government agencies about using Facebook and not making their posts public. Maddening.
Thanks, the queries are very powerful, but it still seems like this data is not as usable as the data in the HTML table. Any airports that don't have wikipedia links for the airport or city don't get picked up, and there are disagreeing duplicates in the wikidata that the HTML does not have.

For example (AKG) Anguganak Airport and city Anguganak don't have an article so they don't appear in the wikidata. ALZ doesn't appear in the data because Lazy Bay does not have an article page. There are some duplicate entries, with different cities or airport names like AAL, AAU, ABC. ABQ has 4 different entries. The data also is out-of-date in some instances. "Opa-locka Airport" was renamed to "Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport" in 2014 for example. In the HTML table all these issues are solved.
Several years ago, I went to a tech roundtable hosted by a well-known company, and this topic came up.

Half the devs in the discussion sincerely didn't believe the new sluggish UI trend found on various social media and news sites was slow at all, because their metrics (presumably which measure some sort of server compute time) said they were not slower. It's some sort of religious fervor.

> Basic things like multi-threading last time I checked weren't as ideal

For most line-of-business/CRUD/APIs/etc. multi-threading isn't really a must-have. Otherwise why are so many people doing just fine with Python/Ruby/Node? OCaml has really good concurrency support (check the OP, they serve hundreds of millions of requests/day with extremely low latency–quoting directly from their slide here).

> At least my team will never be stuck inter-operating with some product,

Valid point, but it highly depends what you're using it for. I would say for like 90% of web-ish use cases the current OCaml ecosystem would work just fine.

> and can keep up with latest trends.

That's not necessarily a positive. Our job is to deliver business value, not follow the latest fashionable trends.
Hah. Good luck finding a "genuine connection" without technology, in a world where technology mediates every interaction.
Yup, it's increasingly becoming the solution.

I have memberships to a handful of streaming services and yet somehow everything I've looked up to watch over the last month is not available on any of those services. Some of them are really old too; like the movie "Con Air" for example, but the only place I could find it was Amazon and it was only available to rent/buy.

Relatively speaking, this almost feels worse than the cable and video rental offerings we had two decades ago.

They have the ability to, but that doesn't make it legal. Samsung has the ability to hire mercenaries to go to your home and forcibly take your TV, and that's beyond your control too. But both are illegal. You can never ensure that nobody will ever have the ability to do bad things to you, but as long as it's a rectifiable matter and you're protected by the law, we often have to rely on those legal protections.

That’s a big point if true. What’s the source for that info?
They overstated the average time that video was viewed in the newsfeed by only counting views of at least 3 seconds in the denominator of the average, but counting views of less than that in the numerator [0]:

> About a month ago, we found an error in the way we calculate one of the video metrics on our dashboard – average duration of video viewed. The metric should have reflected the total time spent watching a video divided by the total number of people who played the video. But it didn’t – it reflected the total time spent watching a video divided by only the number of “views” of a video (that is, when the video was watched for three or more seconds). And so the miscalculation overstated this metric. While this is only one of the many metrics marketers look at, we take any mistake seriously.

So advertisers, who had believed that video content had high engagement due to the misleading statistics, and so made business decisions based on that (laying off writers in favor of video producers), saw video view times drop 60%-80% after the fix, because the view time was inflated by all the 0.5s-1s views initiated while users were scrolling past videos and not really watching them. This was corrected in 2016 though, but perhaps many news sites, and society in general, are still feeling the effects of writing being deemphasized in favor of video.

The daughtercard approach means you can adapt an Nvidia Jetson or Raspberry Pi CM4, so that's nice. Though I can imagine having a daughtercard go bad and then replacements being hard to find.

The key to everything is price. This board offers full ATX PSU support (and works with PicoPSUs), and is in the Mini ITX form factor, with a full managed Ethernet switch (so you could segregate Pis on different VLANs, that sort of thing), along with some PCI express lanes exposed for different purposes (4G/5G modules, SATA, etc.), so it will be interesting to see how it can be used.

One tough thing is going from 7 modules on the CM3+ board to 4 modules on this board, but without that tradeoff they wouldn't have been able to fit all the extra features on the board, nor have adequate space for cooling the Pis/Jetsons, which do get considerably hotter than the older CM generations.
