> But you can never get around 600~ms pings and limited data allowance ...

I'm not sure how that sentence is meant to be parsed, but the NBN Sky Muster Plus packages include unlimited downlink traffic (for everything except streaming video), though of course you're always stuck with satellite latency at ~ 600ms to domestic services ... at least until Starlink saves us all.

Though the Starlink phased arrays apparently consume a fairly consistent 100W, which might kibosh these kinds of cheap and cheerful solar + car battery rigs.

Plus I've not seen what Starlink offers in terms of fixed IP, or at least inbound routing. I can confirm that NBN SMP (as above) while relatively cheap for those of us in the middle of nowhere, does suffer from CGNAT, which makes this kind of self-hosted service infeasible.
I think you read too far into “indicate,” since I agree with everything you’ve said. I was only trying to emphasize that it’s my observation.
Dang autocorrect. Last sentence was meant to read:

Also news media making blanket statements like "increased 400%" and never tell you the real data is highly misleading.. Was it 1 to 5? which is a lot different than 1000 to 5000.
> However, there have been a few high profile accidents recently with emergency vehicles

Interestingly even that's a bit spun. There was one recent accident, in August. And the NTSB going back discovered that there's a cluster of (I think) 11 others where the car behaved similarly and appeared to strike an undetected emergency vehicle without trying to avoid.

Now... that's interesting, and potentially represents a bug worth fixing. But it was also rapidly pointed out that (1) this is an extremely common kind of accident (human drivers hit these things all the time too) and (2) given the number of reported Tesla AP miles driven and assuming no other unreported collisions cases, Autopilot is actually about twice as safe as the average US driver vs. stopped emergency vehicles.
My reply was less about whether or not it's a good interview question and more about the comments people are making in this thread that the question is completely invalid because only a "fool" would write code like that.

In practice, unless you have some extremely pedantic, end to end testing, your first hint that something is going wrong is probably going to be malformed output. TypeScript won't catch this error because it doesn't do runtime checking, it trusts that type annotations are correct. It's very possible for code like this to pass through without causing any exceptions to throw. Indeed, JavaScript was originally designed to "keep on trucking" in this way, and that's why we have this degree of type coercion. So you're going to be working backwards from a result rather than forward from a source. If you already know how your code works and you see a weird result like that, knowing the type coercion gotchas can help you work backwards to understanding where the change occurred.

But in the former issue, I don't think the question on its own is bad for job interviews. How the question is used is what determines if it's good or bad. For example, it is a little unreasonable to expect people to know every single, little gotcha in JavaScript and the exact way in which they misbehave. But I do think it's reasonable to expect people to know that there are gotchas and that this is a common one. I'd accept as a valid answer, "I don't know the exact results, but I do know that this doesn't concatenate arrays and instead does something unexpected".
The last part of your comment stated that coffee drinking can reduce criminality in certain genotypes? If not, could you rephrase it?
I think the problem is… I like many people know what it is to have an ego, but I can’t recognize a soul.

Heck in many contexts soul is just a synonym for an ineffable immaterial thing that makes things better (e.g. the soul of a song).

So how can you feed your own soul? How do you know the nature of your soul?
Our cultural definitions of race/ethnicity often have little to do with someone's /actual/ genetic ancestry. For example, in the USA, Australian indigenous people, Andamanese islanders, predominantly European mixed Euro-African Americans and many others would all just get, I suspect medically unhelpfully, labelled as black.

If the AI is using this information (probably informed by some biases it's picking up from the training data) then unless those biases are actually correct and justified we're training a system that's going to be using racial data, potentially inappropriately (see examples above and in the article), in rendering medical advice or diagnoses. Now that's a problem.

Sure, yet a shape-key character creator with something that will instantly imagine original textures and apply different design styles to the existing base meshes would be extremely useful and time-saving. You wouldn't necessarily need as many riggers or manual rigging at all because a base character rig from say Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs could immediately be used for a completely different character design in Book Of Life just by training the algorithm on hand-drawn sketches.

I mean, that's about as close as we may get to the holonovels from Star Trek in our lifetime.

Say "computer, delete crowd and replace with cowboys" and it just does it using imagined designs consistent with the rest of the movie/game.

Joe Biden had an innocent father and his 7 children killed as a way of distracting from his horrible, disinterested withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has yet to acknowledge this in any way other than calling it an “mistake” via his press bureau.

He has spent his life lying about his credentials, and then selling the influence he gains in the us government to foreign countries.

No, I don’t think Biden will be pardoning Edward Snowden.

>> We'd never release any product with ridiculous standards like "Test for 100 years".

The same timeframe does not necessarily apply to other kinds of systems. The study is about self-driving cars and the numbers quoted are about self-driving cars, in particular self-driving cars compared to human-driven cars.

The study starts by defining various industry-standard measures of reliability, for example scroll down to page 3 and look at equation 1 and equation 2. You can see that those are not about "perfect safety" but about measuring the probability of an accident and so on.

As a general rule, if you are confused by the text of a study, check out the maths. They should be unambiguous.
> From everything I've heard of Tesla self driving is that per-mile it is more safe than human control

So far you've only heard this from Elon Musk, who is a serial liar and hype machine. Wait until you've heard it from a trustworthy third party with access to internal Tesla data.

Just from the total number of accidents, I don't see any way for FSD to be safer than human drivers. It's likely not to even be within two orders of magnitude. Human-caused fatalities are in the order of a billion miles driven, while Tesla seems to be hundreds of thousands or millions.
How high?

There is a point where you hire help and this becomes moot.

Below that point, it comes to how you want to solve the finance problem as a couple IMO: if both your salaries are required, then obviously it means a full split.

Anecdotally - my wife chose to remain home and help raise our child / take care of the home and this turned out to be a force multiplier for me. I don’t think I would’ve made it to where I am, made whatever I made, built all my time sink hobbies without that decision.

It comes down to communication and being truthful to yourself Re: why do you want that job? If it is a passion, you should go for it irrespective of the earnings. If it is just an income, you’re just working for a random person instead of your own family. That’s a tough line to cross, but it worked for us with enough comms.

Yes, misread the OP and thought we were talking about wikileaks and assange as that was the article too.
By human factors I mean people's interaction with and dependency on technology. As example say Tesla FSD works great on the CA highways and people start to depend on it. Maybe they starting scrolling through instagram on regular basis on their commute. Then they decide to go to Mendocino up whatever that super twisty and scary road is called. The put on FSD and the Tesla does a great job. They start to depend on the Tesla to do even the more technical driving. So they stop paying attention even on the harder driving sections.

Six months down the line they are using the FSD drive on a twisty section of road. The sun is the eyes of vision based FSD and there are a bunch of cyclists in the road. The FSD hasn't been trained on this case (or hits a bug or whatever) and doesn't detect the cyclists. The driver who has been "Trained" by the FSD to not pay attention is fucking around with their phone. The tesla plows into the cyclists.

This is my fear - the fear that you detrain people on the responsibility of driving. I suppose at the base of this is I have very low trust in how people will reason about their role with technology. People who don't know about the limitations of the machine will assume it is accurate. People will work to exploit the limitations (two hands on the wheel, eye tracking, etc).

If this technology was marked as "crash avoidance" technology I'd be much less worried. To take the twisty road example, imagine if the Tesla can not only self drive the car to a safe point in case of drive incapciation - that's pretty awesome but also puts the clear responsibility on the human that they are doing the driving.
There's a book that is often "assigned" to newlyweds or engaged couples called "The Five Love Languages" that provides some insight into this. I was asked to read it via a church-related program for engaged couples. It's no great scientific and psychological insight into relationships, but I know of a few marriages that it has saved.

The general idea is that there are many (the book outlines 5) ways to express love. If you express love one way and your spouse in another way, you may simply miscommunicate. Your anecdote seems to map perfectly to the "love languages" that the author outlines: you'd be a "words of affirmation" type and she's an "acts of service" type. You need to focus on being helpful because "acts of service" moves the needle for her. She needs to be more verbal because "words of affirmation" move the needle for you. And neither you of you should mistake the behavior of the other as being loveless - it's just not expressed in an effective manner.

Marrying my wife is the smartest thing I've ever done. We have three very young children (all three 5 and under), never get to go out, never get a break, and are taking an absolute ass-kicking between kids getting sick, potty-training, and all the other normal stuff you deal with. And I've never been more content and happier in my life.
It also shows two things things I think most ecologists are well aware of but which are harde to explain to laypeople, under quantity having a quality of its own only going so far when you actually need quality:

1. having 1000 sq km of total reserves but highly fragmented over the territory is better than nothing but almost certainly worse than having only 500 at a single location, because in the fragmented version you'll basically have lots of copies of "edge" ecological niches, but will be missing the "deeper" niches entirely

2. areas being "undeveloped" is not sufficient, and possibly misleading, because it's really the human activity which is disruptive to wildlife, if you decide to have wildlife refuge you need complete removal of humans for it to truly be effective

"Certainty" appears in the abstract! But yes, the article is talking about the work required to derive a 95%-confident result of a specific improvement. But that's backwards, and not how one does statistics. You measure an effect, and then compute its confidence.

And it's spun anyway, since most of those "trillions of miles!" numbers reflect things like proving 95% confidence of 100%+ improvements in safety. When all we really want to know to release this to the public is 95% confidence of 0% improvement (i.e. "is it not worse?").

> Some senior officials inside the CIA and the Trump administration even discussed killing Assange, going so far as to request “sketches” or “options” for how to assassinate him.

> One of those officials said he was briefed on a spring 2017 meeting in which the president asked whether the CIA could assassinate Assange and provide him “options” for how to do so.

I don't understand how this can be legal. Cannot such a request be considered a conspiracy to commit a murder? Or some people are "more equal" and the law doesn't apply to them?

Unrealistic expectations of the employer.

They try to mimic fads from FAANG companies and end up misapplying things. Just because a framework/idea works for them doesn't mean it will work for the rest of us.

Our company has moved to developer chapter leads as managers, and it's a mess. They have no real power, they have no background/insider info on product strategy, they dont have any better idea of what we are doing since they are on a different team, and they are split between doing their normal dev work and people leadership. Maybe it works for tech companies, but we aren't a tech company.

We have started doing ridiculous code screens or whiteboarding, even for internal postings. Why not just ask my manager and tech lead about my code, or look in the repo for my recent commits? That's going to be much better than some 1hr code screen.

Don't even get me started about the 50 bullet point list of expected skills/competencies in job postings. I also love the ones where we want 5 years experience in a language that's only existed for 3 years. The company only wants experts, yet does nothing to contribute to developing resources into experts.

I'll be honest, I'm not a FAANG level dev. But these companies want to pay less than half of a FAANG salary and somehow expect their devs to be almost as good.

Price discovery is a primary function of a financial market. TSLA is widely held and highly valued. These are facts. The burden is on you to refute this and general platitudes and whataboutism doesn't cut it.

As an outsider, I don't expect the American government to ever pardon people like him. Presidents come and go but they all play nicely with the military powers that remain after their terms. When presidents promise to do things the rest it the government doesn't like, those promises only get broken. Trump didn't complete his wall, Obama didn't close Guantanamo Bay, and so on. Presidents aren't kings, their actions will follow them and have consequences even after leaving office.

Biden might pardon Snowden at the end of his term, but don't count on it. I haven't seen a single sign that Biden (or any American presidential candidate for that matter) would side with anyone for leaking government secrets. The government is sitting on many more juicy details that'd upset the global political balance and transparency is not in the USA's interests.

To be honest, I cannot be sure I'm not AI inside a virtual world. It all feels really "real" to me, but that could be because the model was trained really, really well.

Having gotten that out of the way, I originally made a grandiloquent statement about his wikipedia page not having any information about his marital life, because I thought when I saw the film listings that that was the end of the entry. I feel like it is typical that wikipedia pages give the full course of the person's life before summarizing their creative output, but I don't really know if that assumption is true. When I re-read the page and scrolled down, I realized there was a whole section of information about his married life, so I edited the comment. I should have indicated I edited it.

This is one of my favorite personal threads on HN, I have to say. The digital world we live is such that we cannot tell if a few sentences belong to a GPT-3, a schizophrenic, or just a bad writer with run-on sentences.
