Not that I think this problem is unsolvable, but I do think it's harder than you make it. And a problem only autonomous (really, unchaperoned) cars have.

A car with a spill in it, bodily or otherwise, is probably out of commission for the night. Depending on the type of stain and time before treatment, it could take the car out of the fleet for a few days. Eventually self-driving cars have bus seats? idk.

No problem, we can make the rider accountable. We have cameras in the car. First issue here is you can't trust users alone to provide accountability. Say I put my leftovers on the floor. You get in next and don't notice. The next rider however complains of a strong fish smell in the car. The car is taken out of service and your reputation is dinged since you were the last person in the car.

That's no good, so we'll need humans to review video and find culprits. Spinning up such a team will require software, managers, and oversight. Being alone with your date in a self-driving car is _exciting_ so you definitely don't want your employees to freely copy or share private videos of riders.

Like I said, this stuff is all solvable with centralized teams, but it cuts into the profit fantasy a bit. And it simply didn't exist when every car in your fleet came with a chaperone incentivized to take care of your/their car.
Disclaimer: We're a startup so things are obviously subject to change!

Right now, the business model is around running a single SpiceDB service globally so that you as a user don't have to figure out how to deploy and manage the service at scale.

This service is especially tricky to run because of the need for low latency, high availability, and a single globally replicated service. For an individual company to run HA clusters all over the world would be cost prohibitive, but when all Authzed.com customers share the cost it becomes more reasonable.

I wasn't aware that Tesla was operating commercial autonomous rideshare in SF. Can you link something? I've seen the FSD beta, but that's neither "L4" (whatever you think of the SAE levels) nor commercial. This announcement is specifically about safety drivers and commercial operation, because both Cruise and Waymo have been operating non-commercial fleets with safety drivers for awhile now.
Whenever Apple is discussed, there often seems to be a conflation of invention (coming up with something new) with innovation (applying an invention in a way that changes things.)

Apple didn't invent the personal computer, or the GUI, or Wi-Fi, or MP3 players, or smartphones, or app stores, or tablets, or smartwatches, or ARM processors – but they introduced innovative, and indeed transformative, products in those categories.
It depends what your opinions of those agencies are, and if you believe they have technical competence or not. After the 737 MAX fiasco, I've begun to seriously doubt it.

"you would not understand that DMV issuing these permits is actually a strong sign of progress" explain to me why you believe this. Videos on YouTube convince me something is real and exists. A government press release convinces me that some process was followed, but perhaps one having nothing to do with the solution to the problem.

Self driving is almost entirely a software problem. Testing that software is equally as complex. Do you believe the CA DMV has an army of good software engineers? Data scientists? If not, how did they evaluate it?
I would like a large house with a huge yard right in the middle of a lot of amenities. And a pony.

The reality is that land in desirable areas is scarce, so people ought to be free to choose the tradeoffs they prefer.

In Italy, my family and I actually did live in a home in a 6 unit building and it was just fine. 3 bedroom, 2 bath. Rather than the yard, the kids would go over to the local park, where they'd actually find other kids to play with, which is way more important to kids than the big yard in the house we rent here in the US.
Your statement is false. Demand would be met with an increase in supply, satisfying all needs for the product and without the "help" of scalpers who sidestep supply-and-demand by artificially creating scarcity to drive up demand for their own profit. This is no help to anyone but themselves.

If there's a legitimate demand that will be used, then there's a good case for production to be increased to meet such demand, and all parties who need something would have their needs met.

At no point to scalpers make this system more efficient – they just serve to extract a greater profit from consumers and businesses for their own benefit by the aforementioned artificial scarcity that they make. This is also known as cornering the market, a well-known and despised practice that has been frequently used by morally corrupt individuals who sought only to benefit themselves. Nowhere can nor should the argument be made that scalpers help anyone but themselves.
Drive.AI, before they went defunkt, had LED billboards not unlike what you described. It was a gimmick that didn't take off in the rest of the industry due to the universal presence of a safety driver.

Australia has a $15+b industry in offshore students in tertiary education, principally from China and Asia-Pac. (including India in south Asia)

If the Australian health authorities (ATAGI. TGA) don't approve the various "sino-vac" choices, this market, which completely tanked 2020/2021 due to government non-policy regarding helping these students, will continue to fail.

$15+b of income, lost because the government doesn't like universities, because they speak out about climate change, and are more left wing. (if you don't think this is the reason the Australian government hates the university sector, I don't think you understand Australian politics)

A lot of domestic tertiary students are of course, quite happy there are now more places, and less language issues on campus.
I've lived in three large apartment blocs.

None were decent sized family apartments overlooking a green shady courtyard.

They were all cramped 2-bedroom units overlooking shopping malls, designed for people who didn't want to buy a house in the suburban sprawl around my Midwestern city. The courtyards were decrepit and unmaintained, the only nice green spaces had 'keep off the grass' signs. Obviously no one wants that, it worked as a college student and a newlywed but when we started a family I did, indeed, buy a house. But not because I actually wanted a house, because I wanted something other than the crappy apartments that were in my local market.

My parents recently bought a condo - it's in a green, forested neighborhood in some quiet residential streets, they have a two-car garage, they have four bedrooms - theirs, spare upstairs, office, one downstairs for visiting grandkids, storage space downstairs, upstairs they have a living room, dining room, and large kitchen. Theirs is a duplex, a few of the units in the neighborhood are larger quad-unit townhomes.

As relatively wealthy seniors, they were able to buy that outright. But nothing like that (except regular homes) is available to rent within several hundred miles, as far as I know. Nice apartments are just not a thing that we build, in part because culturally, "nice apartments" is an oxymoron.
> What I term the “monad tutorial fallacy,” then, consists in failing to recognize the critical role that struggling through fundamental details plays in the building of intuition. This, I suspect, is also one of the things that separates good teachers from poor ones.

I generally agree with this, the punchline of the article, but I’d say it separates the competent teachers from the incompetent ones. What makes a teacher great is the ability to probe a student’s current intuitions, and then chart a direct and efficient pedagogical course that starts from the right place.
The difference between FAA/FDA and DMV is that they have subject experts whose jobs is to test and evaluate the technology.

DMV consists of bureaucrats that seemingly just rubber stamp the permits hoping for the best.

In that context, people actually using the technology, testing and evaluating its performance are like FAA/FDA and not DMV.
Monads are a weird infohazard. They are very simple, but anomalously challenging to grasp, so once you grasp them and realize how simple they are, you feel compelled to write something explaining them, targeted at yourself five minutes before you figured them out.

This does work, in that if you read enough of these blog posts you can also figure it out, but it’s not pedagogically efficient.
So tell your vendor you expect them to have that redesign in 4 years.

It might be that Korea invested a lot, early on, to have great Internet coverage and speed (which is the case), but now they have a lot of hardware that is incomptable with IPv6. And it isn't worth it to replace all that just for that feature.
I hate matrix management so much.

It's gimmicky and a pain in the arse. I know management does do a job, but it's hard to justify needing two instead of one.

My view I that matrix style management is a solution to a communication problem you haven't figured out.

Instead of fixing the communication throughput problem, your adding more bandwidth and scaling out the number of nodes in hopes it magically fixes the problem.

And it sort of does fix the communication problems, that's why people like it. The trade off is that as an IC its arese to have to jerk two cocks at the same time.

Assuming your argument is that all you need is cameras, at what point does it become entirely a software problem? Once you have cameras that cover a sufficient FoV around the car? Or can pivot so that they can, like human eyes? How do you know that the cameras you have meet that requirement?

Even then, I'm not sure how you can say its always just a software problem when no one has accomplished it yet.
How could you interpret it anything other than a 'yes' ?
I'm nobody and I have huge respect for both of you. I do think some transparency would be nice in regards to how they made the decision and with how much data.

The shortcomings of Comma.AI and Tesla FSD are very clear due to YouTube. If Cruise has a much safer system, that is great, I would just like to see more data.
Perhaps he meant overhyped; I am just guessing. The creator of GPT-3 also said that the model is more hyped than it deserves because it's simply looking at the existing data to forecast the next words.

Hype or not, there are some questions that deserve some serious consideration. It is hard to quantify how "personalized" the content GPT-3 spits out actually is. It may output the same content on every N-th try on average. If so, we have copyright issues at hand.

Two people using GPT-3 who happened to feed it similar parameters and got similar results can sue each other for copywrite infringement. On the other hand, an author who genuinely created an article can sue someone using GPT-3 created content without that person knowing he has infringed on the author's copyright, and vice versa.

It's all wonderful on paper. In practice, a whole host of issues can pop up when using this indiscriminately.
On the contrary, I think beginners should use them because it reduces cognitive load in tiny applications.

My standard rebuttal to anti-global dogmatism is "there's only one instance, and never needs to be more. If/when we do, we can consider doing something else."
There's a difference between a concrete example and a familiar metaphor. I think the former is extremely important for learning. I think the latter usually leads instead to a false feeling of understanding that then leads to completely off base conclusions (my favorite example for this on HN is mathematical philosophy, e.g. Godel's incompleteness theorems).

Hence while concrete examples of monads are very important for learning the abstract pattern behind them, I agree with the article that abstract analogies usually do more harm than good.
Completely agreed. The only way to learn about monads is to (a) see them being used in examples and (b) use them yourself — exactly like every other concept in programming. Just seeing an abstract explanation is not nearly enough.

Let's say, for the type of journey you need to do (e.g., traveling within a city at <= 30 mph in clear daytime weather), the AVs in question have provided over 100 passenger-years of service, and across that dataset, at-fault crashes are half that of human-driven cars at every level of severity (fender-bender, injury crash, fatality...)

At that point, would you choose to ride in one, or a human-driven taxi?
> I suspect it is a mix of cognitive science, linguistics, and anthropology.

I agree. Creating a solution that is clear to navigate for future developers is valuable, as is one that is flexible for future modifications. These things depend much more on how humans understand the code than on how machines understand it.

That said, other engineering disciplines aren't entirely bereft of that kind of human aspect either. Take architecture for example. It's critical for a building to handle the forces put on it. But it's also important that humans can use it. Having a good building layout is much more a matter of understanding humans than of understanding physics.

And then there's the whole style thing that architecture has. A building is not always only functional. It can very much be a work of art. And that style is not just decorative. A style can conjure up certain emotions to put people in a certain mindset when dealing with the building. (E.g. putting a modern art museum in a neo-classical building would be dissonant.)
Just a simple question. Do you believe in freedom of speech? In freedom of the press? If yes, why do you think it would be shocking if you are spied on?

Offline finding isn’t a black box system, though. It was presented at Black Hat, and there is a well-known 3rd party implementation. This feature brings offline finding to more cases.

In addition, if this person is a well-regarded professional, then indignant tweeting is even more concerning because the general public has no way of knowing that they’re just misinformed.
I agree, I think this is a penetrating and fair question to ask.

Some may feel it's dismissive of the complaints. But 95% or more of the complaints in the letter are characterizations, not descriptions. Take for example the HR executive groping another employee. What does groping mean? Brushing? Back of the hand? Possibly accidental? Grabbing? Pinching? This is a pattern with activists, using characterizations. And the executive was fired after the groping incident, which means...the system works? He was fired in spite of being a high-level exec, in spite of his personal ties to Bezos.

Another example concerns a female manager I believe who was fired abruptly. This is presented as an example of a bias in favor of men. So... no man's ever been fired abruptly? No man's ever been escorted out of the building by security? It's not allowed to fire women abruptly?

Yet another example in the letter is a man saying to a group of women something like "you need to listen to me because I'm a man". But... isn't that what feminism is? Don't feminists go to groups of men and say "You have to listen to me for no other reason than I'm a woman".

It's difficult for me to see how any thinking person can read that letter and not see it as an example of fainting feminism. [Edited, spelling, sarcasm removed]

Interesting. I'm not very knowledgeable about that. The people that got banned, were they scientists, or laypeople? And, regardless of whether they turned out to be right, would you characterize their beliefs as science, or speculation?

Regardless about whether or not the censorship was justified, my point is that there is an avenue for legitimate scientific discussion, via open forums, that the anti-vax community largely doesn’t participate with. That’s in part because it is so technical, and the barrier to entry is so high. Maybe there is a larger discussion to be had about how to keep these kinds of organizations accountable, given that their decisions are so complex.
It's almost like they don't think they can get there at all?

Congrats! Curious why Cruise got a permit to operate only between 10 PM and 6 AM? Is it a DMV decision because you applied for driverless operations or did Cruise specify operating conditions?
I highly recommend the linked series; it's accessible and fascinating.

The upshot though is: Think of battle at the time as being a little bit like some sort of bizarre college sport where everyone lines up, locked arms, and then smashes into each other. With, yes, weapons, but fatality rates were not enormous.

Spartiates - the tiny warrior elite of Sparta - are a bunch of very rich asshole frat boy jocks who are far too cool to train or anything, but that was fine because training doesn't really matter for a glorified shoving match, and nobody else was bothering to train either. What matters a bit more is that they spend every day living together, eating lots of meat, getting drunk, raping and torturing slaves, and if they feel like it, going hunting, so they're all beefy, well fed, fit, and can afford the very best gear. Also they have excellent cohesion thanks to all that bonding while drinking and/or torturing slaves, so man for man, they're pretty effective. Of course, these battles/shoving matches are big enough that they have to drag along a bunch of non-citizens and slaves and allies from other Greek city states to pad out the numbers, so that undercuts their advantage. Although note that Spartiates are by far the most prestigious, and there's a strict rule that both teams line up with the most prestigious on the right side, facing the enemies left side (where the weakest, poorest, and least prestigious units are slotted in).

So yes, individually, Spartiates were...well, not great warriors, but man for man they were the most effective fighters on the field, especially since they consistently faced the weakest opponents. But Spartan armies were not unusually effective, and Sparta as a polity failed to achieve its strategic objectives. History is full of glorious defeats where Spartiates lost impressively; so much so that in one famous instance where a bunch of Spartiates were captured by Athenians, they had to confirm that they were actually Spartans - not because they lost (that wasn't unexpected) but because they were expecting a doomed fight to the end.

So yes, Sparta was let down by truly horrible logistics and diplomacy, but their military record wasn't much better. Quite good at beating up their slaves and/or the weakest unit on the opposing army though, so there's that?
If it became a NWR, then the government eventually took/ acquired it from him (or his successor).

The details of how that happened, whether it was their choice, and how they were compensated for it are what matter.

But it sounds like he at least got to harvest his timber first, as far as not being interfered with.

Currently working at a startup where a lot of recent hires have come from large organizations. All of them cite "bureaucracy and red tape" as reasons for joining a small company, but at least half of them have set about establishing exactly the sort of bureaucracy and red tape they claim to be fleeing.

I think that large company experience is valuable, but you probably don't want to be the startup they're cutting their teeth on. And if you're going to absorb those types of people, best to do it gradually. Make sure they don't comprise a majority of your workforce.
