That is true for FSD in general, but Tesla advertise it as "being around the corner"

Part of the problem with FSD is that it is difficult to make and test incremental improvements on a larger scale. At some point you need to send a big fleet of cars and let an "average" driver drive it without any special safety measures

Another part of the problem is public perception of safety, people are willing to accept fatalities due to human mistakes but even minor accidents caused by FSD are highly publicized

Can somebody please explain or give me some links how FP is supposed to work without a GC? For example Rust has different types of function pointers (Fn, FnMut, FnOnce), to guarantee the possibility of lifetime analysis (so it is arguable to consider it a functional programming language). On the other hand the most common FP languages (OCaml, Haskell) all come with a GC.

Or am I wrong in assuming this is a functional language?
WordPress.org is just a vector to sell Jetpack and WordPress.com at this point.

In the past decade they could have easily fixed a lot of key pains in WordPress, but on one side there are a bunch of amateurs WP users who just don't care and on the other, if they fix obvious security and performance issues, they can't sell "managed WordPress" that easily.

How hard is it to add a "staticize WordPress" toggle? Log in, WP is dynamic; log out, PHP stuff is rendered unexecutable. If WP had a native "static" mode, plugin authors would have to figure out a way to support it well in most cases.

10x slower seems unlikely - if in python you’re using the same rust serde library for your json parsing or whatever, E.g. you “poetry add orjson” to pull rusts serde lib into your python project, then the actual serde operations themselves will be native rust speed.

It's much better than monstrosities like debian and the like, but still more bloated than OpenBSD.

Real interest rates are more useful when trying to decide to leverage or delever. Will real interest rates stay negative ? I think they will. Inflation can be more easily contained with globalization than with higher interest rates.

Even if you can, you shouldn't expend a non-trivial amount of brain cycles on that, especially early on.

Don't.

As someone who built (and sold) a business before and is building a new one, I'd say it really doesn't matter before you get traction. Just ship the damn thing however you can!

The chance of a first-time founder succeeding is incredibly slim anyway. So, you're better off spending your time figuring out distribution and finding a good enough market.
It's important to not conflate getting investors with getting customers.

What was your main pain points with GNOME UI? How have you evolved to like it over time, or how has GNOME evolved to fix those painpoints? Personally, my three pain points are (were?) lack of systray, lack of 1D window list (not 2D rendering of all open windows on workspace, which is harder to navigate), no "execute" action for .desktop/.sh files [0], and alt-tab behavior inconsistent with every other window manager and OS i've used in the past [1].

Not finding settings for any of these is what drove me away from GNOME. But i'm always tempted to come back, because GNOME is otherwise very consistent and pleasant. I like that there's utilities i can place in inexperienced hands, for example GNOME Disks to create bootable USBs. But for those non-tech users of GNOME i know, lack of systray and 1D window list are the most painful points.

[0] How are we supposed to teach users to run apps/scripts? I remember long time ago on Ubuntu there was "Open", "Execute" and "Execute in terminal" actions. Nowadays a lot of non-tech people i meet learn to use a terminal just to start Tor Browser, which is not ideal. Is there a simple package i can install to setup such actions?

[1] That alt-tab doesn't consistently take me to the previous window i was on, i find heavily confusing. When i'm switching between browser or terminal windows, GNOME's Alt-Tab takes me a considerable time to reach my previous window because i need to expand the program's group before i can switch. Otherwise, alt-tab takes me to another window that's not the previous window i was on. Can this be configured back to "normal" now?
Four issues with Snap:
1) You don't have control over how it updates packages. By default it can eat your LTE if you run your laptop after a while, for example.
2) It's eating into apt world. They are migrating programs into it which could've been usual apt packages.
3) It normalized longer startup times.
4) There are still issues with file system interop etc, but I personally can't provide an example.
Ours probably isn't, it's just that for a long time we lacked the means to detect planets around other suns; it's only in recent decades that we have started to map exoplanets, often based on tiny wobbles of stars (gravity) and tiny dimming of stars (planets passing in front of them). But they are now able to capture some images from those planets. I wonder if the Webb telescope can do that as well.
But everything else is _never_ the same. Once you're paid more, you move into a bigger house, have more needs, and without knowing it you're just as tight on money as you were before.

But then you just have more stress at work, and you just can't quit that easily bc there arent so many jobs that pay as much as this one...

Just to provide the other side of this general advice, that is really everywhere, but rarely delivers in regards to happiness.

Remote Jobs in Plain Text
Sure, but this isn't a cop. Insurance is a civil contract driven by market choice. This system isn't authoritarian - it's optinal and the customer has buying power.

Because of this, these systems typically are used exclusively to offer discounts against the baseline insurance premium and they can only lower the premium relative to the assumed default risk. It's all carrot, no stick.

https://www.nationwide.com/personal/insurance/auto/discounts... "Can SmartRide increase my premium? No. This is a discount program."

https://www.usaa.com/insurance/safedriving "Will my driving information impact my insurance rates? No. We will only use your driving information to calculate your discount."

Insurance companies are willing to offer these steep -- 40% -- discounts because bad driving is so extremely expensive and damaging. The added signal of driver behavior patterns can allow the insurance company to lower their rates by almost half. Almost half!

As an aside, these are the types of insurance premium reductions we should expect, or better, when self driving cars first become a reality.
> writing some frontend that is hosted on localhost

I assume this would also work for CORS purposes: for some time I've not used localhost where possible, for SSL reasons. Giving the local machine a perfectly valid name that I can get a cert for via LE (or already have a cert for, I actually use a non-production name for which I maintain a wildcard cert) is slightly less faf than having my own signing cert installed as trusted everywhere I might need it. Anything I might do publicly is HTTPS-only so my dev/test environments are too.
Hardware is, from a business perspective, completely different from software.

Iteration cycles are way longer and more expensive. Find a bug in a piece of software / firmware? Push out an update and the bug is gone. For hardware bugs you have to pray you can fix it in firmware somehow, or you have to call back hardware from the customer and send them replacements in the worst case, or deal with the fallout of class action lawsuits or regulatory punishments (e.g. if you mess up something that causes inappropriate RF emissions).

Additionally, developing for hardware is way harder than developing software. In software, you have clean, somewhat-well designed APIs to get you up and running, and there's bazillions of StackOverflow posts and open source code you can have a look at if you have problems. In hardware, you have to deal with half-assed documentation, reference designs that do not work / are buggy / cause unwanted RF emissions / produce signals that are outside of standards, tight NDAs / stuff that isn't even available under NDA but is vital in debugging issues, BSPs (board support packages) with outright fossilized and Frankenstein'd bootloaders and Linux kernels, not to mention binary blob stuff such as early stage bootloaders, WiFi/BT/GPU firmware and other completely intransparent and barely-working crap.

And once you do have a working prototype in your hand, you have to deal with more bullshit: certifications (UL/TÜV electrical safety, FCC RF emissions, CE, and whatever specific local markets require) primarily (and the findings of the certifications may well send you back to the drawing board, which means more expenses), ridiculous minimum-order quantities, supply chain establishment and upkeep (=preventing counterfeit components in your chain) in general, manufacturing QA, logistics of getting the hardware to consumers, returns/warranty claim/repair/spare parts logistics, keeping track of components getting EOL'd or outright being unavailable due to some component availability crunch, keeping track of recalls of components before your product ends up setting someone's house on fire (=the usual trouble with Lithium batteries and shoddy power supplies), dealing with insurance to cover your butt in case your product does end up setting someone's house on fire or electrocuting someone...

Hardware is ugly and it's rare to have hardware, firmware and software be matched in quality (which is also why so many hardware Kickstarter/Gofundme projects fail or under/late deliver). The only vendor where that is closest to reality is Apple, and they command a hefty premium for that.

The type system looks very simplistic compared to either.
Our parents over-sharing PII that can be used for coersion on a mass scale is what isn't being taken seriously enough. Zuck is a cancer.
You probably should anyway - most of it is for learning and personal satisfaction. It's not like any of these projects are competing for actual marketshare in the programming language landscape.
I'd always recommend folk use constructor-based deserialisation, rather than getting the deserialiser to create empty objects and poke at fields.

That's still (at least naively) using reflection, but it's a lot safer.

In practice, using reflection for every object being deserialised is far too slow and Jackson at least generates code at runtime rather than repeatedly reflecting. That's magic, but it's nice magic because it's not breaking the language: one can see that it's possible to implement it in pure Java.
...one man? Out of the whole company, the massive number of people that must have been involved, only one man gets the blame? And not even an executive at that?
Saying "no" would have been an evaluation.

It's a management function. If someone comes to you and says "We want to rewrite everything so it runs on a Raspberry PI powered by a hamster wheel" you don't need to ask about the engineering spec of the hamster wheel.

The Max MCAS was only marginally more plausible in overview. Details were never going to rescue it.
Amazon could deliver a wide range of goods using this. Pallets of groceries, furniture, household appliances. 200kg is a good payload.
Volocopter is the perfect example of what's wrong with "the german way" of thinking about transportation.

Instead of improving public transportation, goods on the rails, improving bicycle infrastructure, lots of effort is put into crowding the skys, too.

All pushed by a blatantly incompetent minister who was fantasizing about "air taxis" and how they will improve our life, while rural Germany is still stuck on < 16 MBit internet connections.

It's all just a giant clusterfuck with setting the wrong priorities.
I do love this, and I'll probably spend the weekend playing with it, but I do wish we'd stop making languages that are nailed to a single core.
On a small scale this might work in a city but it is not feasible to build a city (as in a densely populated area, traditionally enclosed by walls but this is not a necessity, multi-story multi-tenant housing with the ground floor often used for business-related activities) where everyone lives like that. Agriculture takes space, this can be reduced by moving to vertical horticulture but that either requires artificial light sources or free exposure to sunlight - which is hard when those vertical growth beds have to compete for space with PV panels, wind generators, housing, business and infrastructure.

It might be possible to create a less densely populated city-like structure which works like this, the question is whether it is worth the effort. For those who see this as a fulfilment of some ideological drive it might, just like living off-grid in the middle of nowhere does for others. For the general population this is unlikely to be true though.

CLASP is a really interesting project.

For one, it's created and written by a Chemistry PhD researcher (Christian Schafmeister), not someone with a traditional CS background.

For another, it's one of the few languages that has ever attempted to interface with C++ at the template level - you can instantiate C++ template classes from CL, and catch C++ exceptions etc.

For yet another, he does compacting garbage collection for the C++ objects used in the CL implementation, with pointer patching and everything else.

There's a nice Google Tech Talk about it [0], that goes into both why he did this, and how he implemented this.

I guess just like art, it is subjective.

as you see my original curiousity was regarding specific 3D tools and I got a variety of answers. it's kind of emergent property given by society. if a tree fell in the forest is it really a tree? that kind of thing.

if I'm being serious about it I'd say (roughly) minimum 6 months of effort given to study & creation. idk.
This is "controlling material surface properties at nanometer scales" nanotechnology, not Drexlerian "nanometer scale self-replicating machines" nanotechnology.
When I was a young child, growing up in the US, I was given a children's book called Bidibidi (by Gavin Bishop) by my Kiwi grandmother. If I remember correctly, the Wizard saves Bidibidi (who is a sheep). When my father, remarked that there was a real Wizard in New Zealand, who lived in Christchurch, it sparked a lot of wonder and excitement about the Wizard in a far off land. I can't be the only child who found out about the Wizard and was enchanted by the thought of him.

I get that the public purse must be spent well, but I wonder how much wonder and excitement gets lost everytime weird and wonderful traditions like this end.

Surely the price of child wonderment is worth more than NZ$16k/year?

As an adult reading about the Wizard being deemed 'a living work of art' it seems like an appealing philosophical take on the human experience. I think we all should be reminded now and then to consider ourselves artists across the tapestry of time.

"The city is embarking on new tourism and promotional direction that will reflect its diverse communities and “showcase a vibrant, diverse, modern city that is attractive to residents, domestic and international visitors, new businesses, and skilled migrant workers”, she said."

Drawing this reasoning to AWS: People don't want to move away from AWS because they like AWS/don't want to train their engineers and not primarily because moving data out from AWS is going to bankrupt them?

Surely former reasons are valid and those people do exist.. but anecdotally most companies that I know are the latter.

Maybe most iPhone users would stick with iPhone even if there's no lock in, but we don't know that because there is a lock in.

I meant slightly more recent, like when Windows 10 was released. But no, my relatives have PCs from 2010 running 64-bit Windows that I upgraded to SSDs in the mid-2010‘s and that are still running perfectly fine. I myself was running a 2012 PC (with SSDs from the start) until last year, and the replacement isn’t that much faster. I’m also running a second PC from 2016 that doesn’t meet the Windows 11 requirements but would surely be fast enough beyond 2025.

Cheaper no flat bike tire solution: be sure to install a quality wheel liner (inside of wheel, over the spoke edges), then install a quality plastic tire liner (inside the tire, between the tube and tire tread)...the tube is the weak point, not the tire. Wheel spoke edges cut tubes easily and are not often covered. These 2 items will protect your tires from glass, nails, curbs, etc...no flats ever. Ps: stay away from slime products

I believe the OP's point is that if you're not just using engineers to audit the tests Boeing does, then additional engineers are a fraction of the cost of running a full parallel aerospace test programme. The capex to set up the test infrastructure is significant even if Boeing is legally obliged to supply you with prototypes to destroy at no cost (which obviously has an impact on the amount of R&D Boeing is willing to do).

Also, you're not hiring from a diversely employed Valley pool: most of the engineers with the requisite level of understanding to test Boeing's hardware work for Boeing (and to an extent its supply chain), which might mean you don't have to offer them much of a pay rise, but it also means [i] you're weakening the engineering capability of the firms actually designing and building the stuff by poaching them and [ii] their views on what's safe and what's an appropriate level of testing aren't fully independent anyway.
Lovely! However I would love to see where the companies are actually located. Remote is not remote if it could open the pains of US taxing laws on you.
Rust version of what? V8, JS engine?
I try to keep it as simple/basic as possible. Most of my deployments are Gulp tasks, usually in the form of: build & upload via SFTP.

Whenever there is a task that I have to manually do when building (eg. committing build hashes to a git repo, or manually replacing the version number in the UI), I create a gulp task to do that for me. Not only this saves time when deploying, but it also dramatically reduces the mistakes I can possibly make.
Looks are subjective, not all of us have the same tastes. The selection of themes and fonts seems extremely biased towards a certain look, no doubt the one that the author of carbon considers "beautiful". This is OK, but it could be a bit more representative.
