That's very true, and now that you mention it, my Bachelor's degree had 30 points reserved for "General job market skills", I took some courses in project management and Chinese, but I don't think there were any for learning German as a foreign language. That's actually a surprisingly big oversight, and I might ask around in my party about plans to account for that.

On the last point I'd say though that they are of course welcome to stay, but also welcome to take their skills back home. I made a lot of friends from developing nations, or wartorn places like Syria, that will hopefully make a real difference there. Giving free education to talented people is probably one of the most effective ways to help the world become a better place.
We tend to low-ball the predictions from the models for political reasons and not to sound too alarmist, but we get more and more data showing that the numbers we use are severely underestimated. 1.5°C was always a pipe dream, but it looks like even 2°C or 2.5°C are all but inevitable, just because of the stuff that’s already in the atmosphere.

Yeah, there is little to be optimistic about.
Why does she need to code? If she pursues management, she will never need to code. And she will get paid more than most coders.
Free (open source) is good. Free (cost) is bad?
Yes, I too think the same. :)
There are free ones like .gq . They are probably worse!

Why "less spending" is never an option? Why do we need more and more trillions in taxes?
Wait, why did the steering wheel and the car swerve right here?
Because the pedestrian that was passed or because the one waiting to cross?

I never realized that camels originated in the Americas
In contrast to popular wisdom, the camel did not originate in the Sahel or Levant. They apparently evolved in North America around 45 million years ago. From there they spread to South America (becoming alpacas, llamas and so on), Asia, and Africa some time in the Pleistocene, say the archaeologists. That isn't saying much, as the Pleistocene spans about 2.5 million years to 11,000 years ago.

Anyway, based on camel remains, it seems the splay-footed quadrupeds reached Arabia in the Holocene, at least 7,000 years ago. (Camels are believed to have reached ancient Israel only about 3,000 years ago.)

Here's my hater take: "Full Self Driving" is an absolutely dangerous and egregious marketing lie. The vehicles are not full self driving and require by law a driver capable of taking over at a moments notice.

I do not believe that Tesla's technology will ever achieve "Full self driving" (levels 4 or 5, where a driver isn't required https://www.nhtsa.gov/technology-innovation/automated-vehicl...), and the labeling of their "conditional automation" system as "full self driving" is an absolute travesty.

People do honestly think they have bought a self driving car. The marketing lie absolutely tricks people.

That's the story, but it doesn't hold up in the general case. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21167942

My car (at 200,000+ miles at the time of the accident) was exactly such a case of "take care of it, and all will be well", which is why I was able to avoid dealing with the nightmare that is the auto industry today. (It's also why I still think of that one as "my car," while the others I own today do not.) Again, being well-aware of the worth of a car that is well taken care of by experiencing it firsthand and having spent some time looking for something that would allow me to replicate the previous 10+ years of car ownership, you're not really teaching me anything. Because at the end of the day, it comes down to the affordances offered to you by the market, and the market deals in junk.
Look, I agree with most of the sentiments you're expressing - but I don't think it is reasonable to hold out hope that everyday Americans will come to this realization. The platforms are powerful, even if we as individuals choose not to use them.

Take campaign finance, for instance. I'm of the opinion that we need much stronger campaign finance laws.

Your response, to me, reads similar to "well, I don't watch ads on TV and I certainly wouldn't vote for someone based on a 10 second ad, so I don't think campaign finance needs reform." The issue is that millions of people do watch those ads, just like millions of people do rely on tech platforms to contact their friends, socialize, engage in political discourse, etc.
Grailed's Principles of Expressive View Model Unit Tests for iOS
As I understood the Tesla AI presentations the path is determined using a Monte Carlo Beamsearch which looks for a feasible path while optimizing an objective that includes minimizing sideways g-forces and keeping the paths derivatives low (smooth path).

Form the videos I have seen this fails often (in that the path doesn’t go straight even if it can). Knowing a bit about randomized met heuristics myself, I am not surprised.

I think, they need to perform some post processing on these paths (a low iteration local search).

I think, they should also start with a guess (like just go straight here, or do a standard turn), and then check if the guess is ok. I think, that could help with a lot of the problems they have.

Misleading advertising.

They can add 50,000 locations, it won't matter unless the requests actually get routed to the closest location.

The article basically says "hey, we have no control where it is routed to". I have a CF location which is about 20 miles away and I always get routed to a location that is 280 miles away and this article and the response in CF community forum basically says "Nothing to do with us".

I technically get this, but then they shouldn't advertise it in such misleading ways.

So, devil's advocate. We know the Autopilot ignores stationary objects, so a lane with a parked vehicle (emergency or otherwise) is therefore a reasonable place to travel at the set speed on the cruise control, etc.

But, I believe this discussion is about the new FSD software which is supposed to be more capable. Have we had reports about the new one doing the old tricks?
What has hard real time have to do with garbage collection? You can have concurrent GCs (with [sub]millisecond pauses, or no Stop-the-world at all) but you also need 'hard real time' OS to begin with. Heck, even opening files is far from real-time.

Then you need: not-blocking data strcutures, not just lock-free - that are much easier to develop. Pretty much you need forward guarantees on any data structure you'd use.

Yeah, Go has generic db connection pooling in the standard library. I'm not sure what transaction management or resource handling you're referring to specifically, but for resource management we usually just do `defer foo.Close()` or similar, although I prefer to make `func withFile(fileName string, callback func(*os.File) error) error` helpers that open a file, pass it to the callback, and then close it. To your point, we have to write one of these helpers per resource type, but it's such a small, simple amount of boilerplate that I don't even bother putting that into a package to reuse. Not a problem in practice.
When I moved away from Alaska a couple of years ago, the fastest speed available to me was 768k. sites with several mb were virtually unusable, and so many of the would refresh or ajax recklessly as though bandwidth were huge and infinite. much of the modern web was completely unusable.

That is complicated, but also not related to the 5th amendment. Warrants are a part of 4th amendment rights.

The 4th amendment is intended to ensure (among other things) that the government can't search some locations for evidence without first proving they have a good cause for that search.

The 5th amendment is intended to ensure (among other things) that the government can't use force or threats to make you admit to a crime, regardless of if you committed or didn't commit that crime.

The distinction is that a court could grant the right to force someone to put their thumb on a phone, or look at a phone's camera, but they (in some but not all cases) cannot force you to type in your passcode.

The argument is that your fingerprint or face is not "testimony" but a fact of who you are, but your passcode is a testimony, a declaration that you have some specific knowledge.

A phone unlocking is equivalent to it saying "Yes that is my owner/user", and that is not that person testifying, it is the device testifying against that person. Similarly it would be as if someone kept a picture of them committing a crime that was found with a valid warrant, they could not claim that having taken the picture it is their own testimony and can't be used against them. Taking the picture is a past event and requires no compelling of testimony to be used as evidence.

Getting biometrics without a warrant is a contentious issue. There are situations where a warrant is not needed, and these have also been abused to gather biometrics in situations that should have required a warrant but it was denied.
I like the idea, and would use the service, as the domain is short and memorable. But, this is a low hanging fruit for HN critics, the argument of: "is an app so I dont have to worry about a website being down" is pretty poor, you can host your website assets on Netlify/aws amplify/firebase/.... many more.... , with close to 99.99 % availability. And also provide an electron app for those who prefer to use an app. I wish you luck, and I hope we get a site, I like your service.
Why would it be 60% for stocks? It’s not regular income. It’s capital gains. You’re looking at much lower rates for ltcg.

These rules also only apply to people with $50M+ and only to amounts over that $50M. I don’t think almost anyone should have that level of wealth in the world - it’s clearly created at the cost of others.
This is pretty standard from what I’ve seen: You wear the mask when you’re walking around the restaurant or before you start eating/drinking, but you don’t mask up between sips/bites.
> Second is that at least Google is relatively competent and restrictive in providing any of the important data to 3rd parties, whereas other providers (like your ISP) is more like to sell the data wholesale left and right.

While this is true (of all the entities trying to gather my data I'd expect Google to be one of the least likely to leak it - after all, no matter your preconceptions, Googlers are usually pretty good at what they do) it's at least somewhat moot because while your ISP (or, say, MasterCard) is more likely to sell your data, Google is more likely to be buying that data (from, say, MasterCard). If any basket acquires more than a certain percentage of my eggs (or footprints), I start to get uncomfortable.
I agree with the time issue, but we didn't have resources like StackOverflow or reams of personal blogs back then. I find it easier to learn something new now, at least easier to get over that initial learning curve. Proficiency still takes time but it always did.
I'm on my third Tesla. FSD on highways has improved so much in the last 6 years. On my first Tesla, autopilot would regularly try to kill you by running you into a gore point or median (literally once per trip on my usual commute). I now can't even remember the last time I had an issue on the highway.

Anywhere else is basically a parlor trick. Yes, it sorta works, a lot of the time, but you have to monitor it so closely that it isn't really beneficial. As you point out, its going to take some serious advances (which in all likelihood are 30+ years away) for FSD to reliably work in city centers.

I think the issue you've highlighted is one of governance. There's only so much Tesla can do regarding highways. You really need the government to step in to mandate coordination of the type I think you're envisioning. And the government is pretty much guaranteed to fuck it up and adopt some dumb standard that kills all innovation after about 6 months, so it never actually becomes usable.

I think automakers will eventually figure this out themselves. As you say, there are too many benefits for this not to happen organically. Once vehicles can talk to each other, everything will change.
I realize this won’t work in LA, but if you are traveling for fun/vacation, why not check out places with functional public transit so you don’t need a car?

This is a UI prototyping tool, and a potentially good one at that. It does not develop what a HN audience would call production ready applications. That being said, "Production Ready" as used by this author is very different than what "production ready" as used by the HN audience means, a look at the end of the linked video where he claims a checklist with drag and drop support and cookie-derived sessions next to is "Production Ready" should sufficiently demonstrate that.

And that's okay! It doesn't need to have replaced the entire Web Developer career field, it can just be a cool UI prototyping tool. But I might suggest to the author to reduce the scope of their claims a touch, as it would engender more positive discussion.
I was astonished to learn that it takes another 6502 to power the 1541 drive. Kinda neat if you think about it, and I believe someone has succeeded in using it as a 2nd processor, much like the famed 6502 coprocessor tube on the Acorn machines. Those days were great.
I found a gym that has a pool and built swimming into my habit. For me it's great -- anaerobic and aerobic workout combined into a single activity. Being in the pool means I don't get sweaty or hot. Started in Jan, lost 25 lbs and have gained lots of muscle. Low risk of injury, which was an issue for me with other workouts.
Predictions of specific events at a specific date are most often stupid. What we know is that the global average temperature is trending upwards, that Greenland is on the way to losing its ice sheet, and that some large ice sheets are sliding into the sea in Antarctica. It is certain at this point that Greenland will be ice free and that there won’t be any glacier left in Europe, but putting a specific date is foolish.
Django is, of course, an open source project and the core team and contributors are largely free to work on whatever they prefer.

However, as a user of Django I sincerely wish they would focus more on stability:

Changing jsonb deserialization in a patch release, 3.1.1:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31956#comment:16

Queryset .get() can cause OOM, ticket has gone back and forth, problem existed as recently as Django 2.X: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6785

Django's cascade options differ from the database's, are manually implemented: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21961

Can't update keys via ORM, related to the above: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21265

Inconsistent behavior around constraints checking in unit tests, can lead to inexplicable behavior and difficulty testing when a constraint is violated: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11665

In general, the ORM functionality and the inconsistency, bugs being introduced in patch releases has me looking elsewhere for all new development and recommending to other engineers the same.

We have a running joke in our engineering team that every bug we hit in Django will have an open or "closed wontfix" issue 5-10 years old.
Is that article not saying explicitly that these "dire predictions" are being demonstrated by the loss of ice in the park?

Or am I misunderstanding what you are writing?
Dear Mom, I'm Dropping Out
When I've tried it out for wasm game development, the biggest issue I had was frequent GC pauses (was a few every second) causing frame drops. TinyGo gets at this issue. I've used C++ since then, focusing on a small subset that keeps things flexible and compiling fast. Been hacking on a Go -> C++ compiler lately that produces that subset.
If we generously assume the models which do not have a good record of maching actual data are correct, 2.7C is not remotely catastrophic by the IPCC's own analysis. Average temperature has been up by much more than that at times in the last few thousand years.
No. We just cannot sustain panic continuously. I am confident that eventually a mix of decarbonization, mitigation of climate change effects, and some sort of geoengineering will avoid any apocalypse.
How about changing the title to be more accurate:

All the i7 and i9 options include an RTX 3050 discrete GPU. Nvidia graphics and their Linux driver are why I stay away from most high-end Dell laptops. I was lucky enough to score a 2017 Precision 7720 featuring an ECC-capable Xeon CPU and Radeon Pro 4150 WX. Glad to be able to use the amdgpu driver on a powerful laptop from Dell, although the slim 2021 XPS form factor would be much nicer.
I noticed they went public via SPAC, which, as an investor, screams red flag and scares me.

Can anyone shed light on why they would go this route? Is it accurate to say best case is because they wanted less hassle / quicker to market and worst case is that their financials/books are a disaster and they didn’t want anyone looking too closely before the founders raised money and cashed out?

Genuinely curious and would appreciate any insightful replies
The problem, as I see it, is that the longer driver uses the autopilot feature the less attention they will pay to it as long as it doesn't do something nuts like this. My understanding is that this occurred soon after a new 'beta' update to the autopilot system. I'm not sure how this is surfaced to the user, if you need to opt into this new version etc.

My fear is that a new version of the autopilot system could have new bugs introduced that could disrupt the navigation on a route that the user has confidence that the previous version of the autopilot could handle. They commute on route x every day and over time they've gained confidence in the autopilot on that route. This new update however is going to run them into some obstruction due to a bug. That obstruction might be those monorail pylons we see in the seattle video or it might be a crosswalk. A driver who had confidence in the autopilot might be well distracted having confidence in his automation and not be able to correct the situation before tragedy.

IMO autopilot should be banned until it can be proved to be 100% safe. I don't think we can get there until roads are outfitted with some kind of beaconing system that sensors in the car can read and cars on the road are potentially networked together cooperatively... and only then to be enabled on roads with those markers/beacons.

People in this thread deciding that the system is safe because it's no worse than a drunk driver or student driver are missing the point. We absorb those hazards into the system because they present only a handful agents in the system. Out of 100,000 drivers in a rush hour flow, how many are students and/or drunk.. probably very few. However as teslas keep selling with this feature, our new class of hazard agents keeps going up and up and up.

Hell we wouldn't even have to mandate it to be illegal at the political level. Perhaps the insurance industry will do it for us.
Detecting and/or preventing encryption might be useful, but since recent ransomware also downloads sensitive data files and uses the threat of disclosure to force payment, the encryption is only part of the problem.
Ruby-on-Rails with some magical gems(devise, simpleform etc.) can do this even faster and probably better looking.

I see, thanks.

What if say, a system is written against an indeterminate timed GC like say, Azul or Go's, but code is written in a way that proves GC times never exceed X, whether by theory or stress testing. Is this still seen as 'unguaranteed'?
Consider if during collection an object that was only reachable becomes strongly reachable as a result of promotion. This needs to be reconciled at some point, and there's also atomicity expectations. If there's 2 weak references for the same object, you can't have one return non-null after the other already returned null (part of the API requirements: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/ref/Weak... )

The easiest way to handle this conflict is to just pause the world when doing the processing of weakrefs after the concurrent GC finishes.
this is mostly from a very old smithsonian article. i have that one handy in my bookmarks. that and the one that explains why 'men can't cry' as much women(due to differences in prolactin and men having larger tear glands that prevents tears from 'spilling out'). recently, there has been a rash of mad moms encouraging their sons to cry like in some kind of bizarre social experiment when the poor dears are not biologically built to turn on the waterworks like we can.
Do you think it will run Doom?
What hasn’t hit anything yet? A Tesla on autopilot?

Surely.
Fully concurrent GCs exist with read-barriers and no stop-the-world phase. The issues with "hard" real-time are not gc-related.
