I have no idea about what information the (5G?) beamforming protocols use; perhaps they have figured out a way for some "angle discovery" as part of the protocol handshake or perhaps they just require the device send GPS data for that adjustment (and in the absence of that data would just skip beamforming, getting worse rates); but the distance information for the 4G/LTE timing system would be an inherent part of the protocol even if the device does not have GPS enabled and is based on literally measuring the round-trip timing.
The components used here seem like theyre very specific to the needs of the application that was built. I have no idea how this type of framework would be used to build anything else.

To be more specific, he has the "Source" and "Detail" elements, but theres no apparent way of what piece of data is being synced across them or how theyre connected. Therefore, if I wanted to change any of that, I'd be completely lost. Did anyone else understand how the data actually flows across these pieces?
> I am surprised people bite at this manipulative narrative.

I suspect it's people believing what they want to believe. When Elizabeth Warren comes along and says, "you can have everything you need: healthcare, food, clothing, housing, all without having to work at a job you hate, and all we have to do is agree to take a little bit from a few people who won't even miss it", a lot of people who do work at a job they hate and stress about how much healthcare, food, clothing and housing they have or might have in the future don't really see much downside in saying, "yeah, sure, let's try it".
Surely option 4 is the best option - the US government issues a list of countries within which no US business can have any operations or sales. Better than leaving it to individual companies.

A “MySpace for Apps”.

Many would consider that a condemnation, and probably a well deserved one too.

But I mean it in a positive sense: the democratization of development, the way DTP democratized printed expression (back when that was a thing).

Also hopefully means programmers can spend their time on more interesting and value-adding effort rather than having to take the time to simply put a button on the screen.

Of course the dream of rapid development goes back to FORTRAN.

Wouldn't building a website be more equivalent to playing the instrument? Presuming one has learned how to build a website, like a musician learned to play an instrument.
There are at least two ways of looking that make using 8.8.8.8 sense.

First is that if you assume that Google has a decent profile of you anyways (from other services), then feeding in DNS data to Google would have relatively minor impact on your privacy.

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.

Both are sort of "better the devil that you know" ways of thinking.

Ehhh at most that would be one of those things where, "yeah, that is the law but it's pretty impractical and unnecessary for people to follow to the letter and so everyone breaks it when safe to do so and it's a dick move to actually write tickets in those cases."

If a driver is trying to turn right, and the pedestrian has just entered the crosswalk other side of the street, 40 ft away, it seems stupid to wait for them to clear the whole 40 ft when your right turn doesn't put them at risk. I say that even when I'm the pedestrian in that situation.[1]

If the worst thing about SDCs that they do these kinds of violations (which would also include going 62 in a 60 mph zone), then I would say SDCs are a solved problem.. Though to be clear, Teslas are not at that point!

Regulatory capture at its finest. I presume you’re aware of retransmission consent, the mechanism that allows local stations (whether network-owned or not) to demand payment for carriage of their signal, that carries 90% or more content that the station does not own, but merely has license to broadcast. This would be fine if most stations weren’t part of large station groups that own dozens of stations. These large station groups demand higher and higher fees from operators (and both sides of every argument are always presented as “[the other side] wants to take your [network] away because they [want too much/won’t pay enough], call them to demand they stop doing that”, when the average person who would see those messages does not have the knowledge to understand how it works, because they quite rightly have more important things to worry about).

The networks can be shitty to their non-owned-and operated stations too. The long-term local ABC affiliate got shafted a few years back. They’d been an affiliate since 1969. ABC demanded a substantially larger amount of money to renew the affiliation than they had in the past. The station initially tried to negotiate the amount down, ABC refused to budge. After careful consideration, the station decided to nonetheless agree to ABC’s demands. After all that, ABC still turned around and basically said “nah, forget it” and went with their direct competitor in the market, who already operated the CBS affiliate. ABC and CBS are now subchannels of the same broadcaster, who happens to be owned by one of the larger station groups. The networks do this because it gives the stations more leverage to demand more from operators, and the station groups have more capital than smaller independently-owned stations. The networks also directly benefit, as the stations in the larger, more flagship markets tends to be network owned and operated (O&O). A station group that says “we own X number of stations and unless you pay us more money, we’ll restrict your carriage of all of them” has a lot more pull than a company that owns one station.

There is actually a choice, but it’s on the broadcaster’s end. A station can elect to choose “must-carry” status, where the operator transmits the signal with no compensation (which generally only applies to a station’s primary subchannel), or a station can demand payment for retransmission.

If cable was invented today, the networks would have it shut down in a hot minute.

> The image of society given by your picture does not resemble real life. Facebook and I are not equal actors analogous to neighbors disputing over what gets put in their front yard.

You're never going to have a society that equal. Do you all the sudden have the right to put signs up at my house because it's bigger or on a busier street than yours? Should you be able to put chapters in the books I write because no one wants to read yours?

I think there are good arguments that Facebook is too big and should be broken up, but the NY Post Hunter Biden "story" isn't one of them. It was garbage, and filtering out garbage is an important function. I'm familiar enough with garbage to realize that.
While stuffs like these are laudable, it still merits a lot of consideration that for these to be impactful to companies / business / people that would adopt them, they need to have that domain expertise and knowledge of what needs to be built. Too many times, a lot of products are built trying to find a solution it was conceived for.

Something every software engineer should learn before their insufferable egos solidify.
I've made this argument here a few times and am always shot down, but I think its important to highlight that the airline industry has an extremely robust history of automation and HCI in critical transportation scenarios and it seems to me that all the lessons that we have learned have been chucked out the window with self-driving cars. Being able to effectively reason about what the automation is doing is such an important part of why these technologies have been so successful in flight, and examples like this illustrate how far off we are to something like that in cars. The issue of response time, too, is one we cant ignore, and it is certainly a far greater challenge in automobiles.

I don't have answers, but it does seem to me like we are not placing a premium enough on structuring this tech to optimize driver supervision over the driving behavior. Granted, the whole point is to one day NOT HAVE to supervise it all, but at this rate we're going to kill a lot of people until we get there.
Is Goodhart's Law a sort of upper bound on the usefulness of data for decision-making in general?
I mean... 5 minutes on /r/IdiotsInCars and it's very easy for me to understand how even with bizarre bugs like this, it's better than people.

People say "how could it happen?!" and get angry for a software bug - that can be fixed - and seem to accept how drunk drivers do this (and a lot worse) literally every single day. But since it's a human, that's fine!

The concern I have is that the "eye contact" element is lost.

As a motorcyclist, runner, and cyclist, I can tell you that drivers will look you right in the eye as they pull out in front of you.

we make eye contact and look for acknowledgement or an indication of intent.

That behavior stands a good chance of getting one killed or hurt, especially in Seattle, the land of "oh, no, you go first..." Look at the wheels, not the eyes. The wheels don't lie.
>> As to abrupt maneuver, EU limits rate of change for steering control and I think it would be wise for US to adopt something similar for driver assist systems.

That's a terrible idea. First it's a bandaid over an underlying problem. Second it's a legislative answer to a technical problem, which is IMHO never a good idea.
Fair point but that's less restrictive standard than (your long lost sibling?) mzs was saying applies here.
Interesting and very mysterious.

How does the data syncing work? Can the developer hook into changes to execute business logic? How are changes to the same data point from different users handled?
That definition works for things like gold bricks or stocks that are purely treated as assets, but it can create some odd outcomes.

In the 90s there were stories of a fan who caught a milestone home-run baseball and because of its sentimental value didn't want to sell it, but had to do so in order to pay the tax bill.

In the extreme case, if I have a child, does that constitute income equal to the price a human-trafficker would be willing to pay for him or her?
> I think the problem is that people are trying to use Discord for purposes it wasn't really designed for.

This is my problem with Discord-instead-of-forums. I completely agree with your privacy point, I don't want or need every word I type recorded and crawled by every search engine. Ephemeral conversations are useful and important.

It's incredibly frustrating when a Discord server is the only avenue for help with a project. Discord, even at its best, isn't discoverable and is barely searchable.

It's not necessarily a new problem though. Ten years ago it was "find us at #projectname on Freenode". Before that it was join a mailing list.

What's amusing in an annoying way is groups are running into old problems but not learning from old solutions. FAQs were invented because online conversations weren't necessarily persistent. If you joined an IRC channel, mailing list, or followed a newsgroup at time t there was no guarantee you'd have access to any conversations that happened at t-1. So people would make curated lists of common, that is frequently asked, questions. These would end up posted regularly to those ephemeral communications or added to a persistent presence (web, FTP, etc).

I'd be far less annoyed by "join our Discord" if someone involved would persist some common or just novel questions to a persistent FAQ that's discoverable on the Web. It might not be as good as a wiki or forum but it's a lot lower friction than joining a Discord server to ask a question a hundred other people have asked.
I think this aligns with the Lean Startup process and has a lot of merit. I may very well have accidentally used a similar process to develop Mach 9 Poker. I sat on my original idea and iterated it in my head and by conversing with live poker players. After a few years, I finally had an epiphany and when I tested that idea, the players came around as very curious. I'm still modeling it and building it, but the path is solid (so far).
We need a kind of bike type of car, everyone can get one fairly easy and they are durable and last almost forever if you take some care. In reality, we need to go back to walkable neighborhoods with shops and cafes within a few minutes walk and light rail to connect everything further.
With bouldering routes it is almost never your biceps or abs giving in, but usually the stabiliser muscles or your forearms and fingers.

So yeah, these muscles will get used and improve a little bit, but if you want to get really fit with bouldering, you need to end your session with dips, pull ups, push ups and something for abs.

Ironically, my bouldering improved immensely after switching to a workout that had less bouldering and more targetted exercise in it, and I was finally able to crack the 7c (V9ish).

Stamina is not improved by bouldering, but having stamina improves bouldering. I think some cardio just makes your body function better in every way.
Can't I make a few million accounts (or "wallets") programmatically, since it's a blockchain?
Yes 100%. This is a really important point. We need to protect and expand natural areas around the world.

Forests do use land(that could go to solar energy farms or food farms) and do not sequester as much carbon as CCS. Not that I’m saying “no forests!”. We need them for a lot of other important reasons besides capturing carbon. We could always use policy that discourages wasteful uses of land since we’re definitely not making the best of it in the US at least currently.

I believe there were some efforts to turn oil rigs into carbon capture stations? Might have just been an idea I heard at a research conference though. There’s always more ambitious solar geoengineering methods that if(huge if) pans out require no land.

I like your "Costco car" phrase!

We need the "Costco car" you speak of!

They haven't really been a plague for a while, not like they used to be. A lot of forces are behind it, my top three reasons would be 1) because of the Optional type and Optional mapping makes them easy to avoid in chained calls and is less ugly than a nest of null checks or the equivalent err != nil mess in Go, 2) because of better development practices becoming more common like SOLID and especially https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Demeter and 3) because of functional programming styles becoming more widely adopted, with Clojure/Scala/Kotlin showing what's possible on the same JVM.

This is incredible work and very close to my heart because it's similar to a project I've been dedicating most of my personal time to for the past 4 years [0].

It's amazing how much work you can skip when you treat the front-end of your app as a pretty interface for your database. I think a lot devs were inspired to go down this road by Meteor.js back in 2012 when it was released [1].

I think a tool like this is the future of web development: create the interface and boom, you're app is already working. That kind of instant validation of your work is addictive.

The problems arise when you want to change how data is processed behind the scenes before displaying it or after the user edits it. Or how it's connected to other users' data. But I think these issues can be solved either with reactive hooks or some of the innovations coming out of the GraphQL space.

I think you can get pretty far with a system like this:

* User accounts
* Automatic data syncing
* Collaboration
* Deployment & hosting
* Payments
* Form submissions

All of this is pretty trivial to get working out-of-the-box with very little effort from a dev. So no one has to reinvent the wheel.

And these features, if done well, are all that 90% of businesses need to create value for their customers and become profitable.

I'm really excited about this space. My email is in my profile if anyone wants to talk about it further.

I've watched quite a few FSD videos and in almost every single one the car barely knows what it wants. The route jumps all over the place. I'm pretty sure it's just the nature of their system using cameras and the noisy data that can generate.

The sat nav didn't update the route to go that way. The FSD system decided to. It probably completely lost track of the road ahead because of the unmarked section of the road and just locked on to the nearest road it could find, which was that right turn.

I've seen videos where it cross over unmarked road and then wants to go into the wrong lane on the other side because it saw it first. It seems like it will just panic search for a road to lock onto because the greatest contributor to their navigation algorithm is just the white lines it can follow.

I had similar feelings. At least in populated cities, internet speed has always been pretty great for me. I'm more concerned with the absurd notion of bandwidth caps and the exorbitant cost. Access is tricky: on the one hand, it's pretty unreasonable to expect internet companies to get cables out all the way to every mountain cabin and desert house; on the other hand, they charge so excessively and get so much government assistance that they should have more than a few dollars to spare.

Learning to play an instrument is usually about learning many many tiny discrete skills that build on one another and can be combined in creative ways to express what's most important and vital at that moment.

You can play an instrument knowing just to pluck a single note. But it's a lot more fun to play if you know a ton of different skills: you can say so much more.

I think the same holds true for coding. You can learn more skills all the time, all of which broaden the realm of what you can create when you sit down at a keyboard again (aka the playing the instrument part).
I suspect you're right about the Japanese culture and definitely about the cost of things.

When it comes to being rough with my stuff I think I've learned some lessons: I'm careful, for example, with the vintage watch my wife gave me but I expect my power tools to be able to handle some tough use cases. I have been fortunate enough that I'm able to buy higher quality stuff now that I'm older so that helps.
