I quit in September this year as a director of engineering after working at the same place for 13 years. It has been a a learning experience. I had worked remotely on and off with the company throughout my tenure and the pay and bonuses were good enough for me. Loved the people that I supported, the variety work I did, etc... minus a few changes at my leadership level.

I mostly quit because I had a baby in 2020. My CEO told me about 6 months ago I was "too close to my son" in one of my 1-1's I think largely because I wore him on a few zoom calls to give my wife a break right after birth. I let that fester for awhile... stuck in endless brain loops analyzing my life and where I spent my time. A week after watching my 1 year old enjoy a cupcake with a smile for his birthday -- I quit. I miss many of the great people... but life is too short. It was the time put into something vs the time put into relationships I care about the most that made me punch out.

I have no idea what's next... for now I just want to enjoy some time with my wife, kids, and family which financially I'm so thankful I am able to do. We only have time and health!
Somehow this is the first time I've seen it despite reading HN for a decade. Such a beautiful article. I'm glad it was reposted.

Electric vehicles are plugging up traffic exactly as bad as fossil fueled vehicles.

Now I read a little more about Paris what changed. The mayor Ms Hidalgo introduced the concept of the 15 minute city [0]. It's more important that people can reach all important services within 15 minutes of walking than having Teslas standing in traffic everywhere.

If you were a rich person living in (say) a village in the UK 20 minutes is easily enough to fly to the pub, charge it a bit, and fly back.

As a non-rich person it'd be useless to me even if I could afford it (I live near other humans) but I can absolute imagine some people I have met buying one.
If you're considering the full history of ammunition going back over 100 years, then yes. But if you limit yourself to the most commonly stocked ammo types that you would see in a store today, which would include

- 9mm

- 10mm

- .357

- 40 S&W

- 308 winmag

- 5.56

- 7.62

then no, these are most (all?) cartridges that began life with LE or military application. Even many of the less common ammo types that are still not unusual to see stocked, or seen at the range, like 300 blackout or 6.5mm Creedmore also start life as RFPs from military or LE operators.
A traditional hash table can also be pretty cache unfriendly. I wonder if there are any published measurements that compare these.
Except for the part where the CIA had plans to extrajudically assassinate him.

>“That the CIA also conspired to seek the rendition and extrajudicial assassination of Julian Assange is a state-sponsored crime against the press,” she added.

>In response, the CIA and the White House began preparing for a number of scenarios to foil Assange’s Russian departure plans, according to three former officials. Those included potential gun battles with Kremlin operatives on the streets of London, crashing a car into a Russian diplomatic vehicle transporting Assange and then grabbing him, and shooting out the tires of a Russian plane carrying Assange before it could take off for Moscow. (U.S. officials asked their British counterparts to do the shooting if gunfire was required, and the British agreed, according to a former senior administration official.)

Saying he could've just come out at any time is absurd.

Having the camera on is not a requirement for doing actual work. It can be nice to see your fellow coworkers, but it's no substitution for an actual physical meeting.

Having worked both in a remote and office setting, i much prefer the latter as it makes for better relations and getting to know people.

I guess remote work is just not for everyone.
Yes it's an advantage if other team members feel inspired by seeing you on camera.

But if you don't like it, you have to decide if it's worth the discomfort to get that advantage.

The way it works is... You make a decision like that, people will ask you why. You explain it by saying you don't want to be on camera a few times. After a while it becomes normal and nobody ever asks again. It's very simple.

Here is a basic structure implemented in C++:

You see this in so many ridable multicopters and it always makes me cringe... the plane of rotation of a heavily loaded, high speed rotating part is not a healthy place to hang out. The shared plane of rotation of 8 of them is 8x as bad.

Should the Library of Congress nationalize the NPFA?

I got my local library to buy a copy of the National Electrical Code. I can study it... but only at the Reference Desk at the library.

There are some derived texts that are pretty good, that the library will let me have, so long as I renew the checkout, and nobody else wants it.

Hmm.

This is not bad advice, especially for people new to proof-based mathematics. (I've noticed more mathematically experienced people do something like the linked method intuitively, without writing things down.)

But, it's only half the story. After you learn the definitions and theorems, you have to learn how to apply them to do computations and solve problems. This means working at least a few "easy" problems to learn how to crank through rote computations, and a few harder ones to learn how to think through novel applications.

If you can't solve problems with the material you've supposedly learned, you haven't actually learned it. (Otherwise, what did reading all that stuff really accomplish? You picked up some cool vocabulary words?)
They should toss it to the Rust community, they'll happily rewrite it in Rust, might not even need to pay them as long as you allow them to always tell everyone they are Rewriting it in Rust.

That's interesting about bald, it's a neat channel.

I used to be one of a group of people who other people thought were spies. I was living abroad at the time. At first this aspect was extremely irritating. Some locals would point at me and say "spy".

But the more I thought about it, the more I met people like me who I thought would make terrific spies, and the more I met local friends who I thought I could probably recruit as spies to have local culture on my side.

Then I started to casually explore the countryside like a dumb tourist, and I would emerge from a random forest to see locals' gaping mouths, later to learn it was a sensitive area. I started to think--no wonder they think we're spies!

Later on I went home and found out that a LOT of people who did what I did were recruited as legitimate spy-types. One of them was a childhood friend who apparently drank some magic government potion and became a CIA officer who went on to be extremely visible in US national politics.

It's a fascinating lens on life, superficially at least. Misdirection works for you and against you. You can make just about anything seem true or false. And weirdly while supposedly a hyper-objective effort (go $my_country!) I understand it often has a tremendous personal impact on those who are deeply involved.

> But there are some more Youtubers who seem to travel around to hotspots

These are the ones I'd recruit for a modern-day BRIXMIS. If you watch the BRIXMIS videos, the officers interviewed had a tremendous psychological overlap with traveling Youtubers who are very curious about things, to the point where _touching_ or _going to those things_ feels like a victory of its own. Digging up poop near an encampment because Soviet soldiers used log pages as toilet paper--they did that.
It's not really that hard to do this: ask bug reporters to attach their logs. Don't just take them preemptively "just in case".
I also keep an eye on my self view, but not continuously throughout the entire call. I'll still pay attention to the person speaking and scan the rest of the cams like I would if I were in a conference room.

Doesn't need to be a constant thing, but more like glancing in the rear view mirror while driving. It's there when you need it, also there when you just want to check, but not going to keep you from the task at hand.
Agreed. The misuse of media (social and 'news') is the root of the rot. Its a shame in a first world country, thst so much of the population is so intentionally misinformed, and there seems to be no appetite to fix it.

Can confirm [1], am building an aircraft in my garage. It's the only segment of general aviation that's growing as it does away with a lot of the arduous approval process for inconsequential modifications/maintenance. I don't mean this is some sort of libertarian crypto-utopia, the FAA has just lumped general aviation in with commercial operations where the passengers expect to have an absolute guarantee of an uneventful trip whereas GA is similar to driving your car. Realistically safety ranges from slightly better than car to slightly better than a motorcycle depending on how you work the numbers but it's important to note that mechanical issues are extremely rare in GA accidents, much like the auto world, it's almost entirely operator error. The FAA is, as a result, regulating GA aircraft into extinction as certifying new airframes is an absolute financial impossibility due to overhead costs. Even if the new craft are safer than the existing fleet they're prevented from entering service and it's causing a lot of issues.

AI doesn't scale well. Problems get worst as you make your model bigger and more generalized. To make things worst, data, model architecture, precision, hardware, affect your model performance in ways that are hard or impossible to anticipate.

If you watch Tesla's AI presentation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUP6Z5voiS8, you will notice that they have multiple AI's stacked on each other, which IMO is a step back from truly e2e multimodal AI system. So even with their custom fancy hardware, multimodal is too hard.

I wonder, wouldn't it be better to use geo fencing (using H3), and have the car download the model depending on the zone where it is driving? And optimize multiple models based on "driver engagements"? This could fix the problem of zones where there are particularities in the driving, road, or human activities, and allow for model optimization to happen on a smaller vector space than the whole world. For example, why not have a model for US highways, LA, New Deli, UK, so on.

Tesla also knows where the cars are, and control their expansion plans worldwide, which could inform model prioritization roadmap.

In my mind, it will be easier to test, debug, label, optimize, and guarantee quality to users, that at the end of the day, without knowing exact statistics, I am dare to say spend more than 70% of the time driving around the same county/city/area/town?
So if instead of measles vaccine people started taking root beer, you’d want the reporting to be “humans have been safely drinking root beer for decades”?
Thats not exactly right. It’s simply that you cannot sell something built >51% by the factory under experimental rules, you’d need to have it FAA certified which this isn’t ( for thousands of reasons ).

The 51% rule is extremely common in experimental aviation.
I'm a left-leaning independent, but tech illiteracy and general incompetence or lack of integrity has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat.
No, even academia and pure theorists could take a fresh perspective with actual skin in the game in making software.

Hahaha. It's some cherry picked examples and you're already claiming it's 'a terrific example of basic analysis'. The hyperbole is real in software.
I had no idea Jobs selected 20 albums to be placed on the event-giveaway iPods. That seems like a lot...I wonder if there was some internal pressure to compete with Napster-user-level amounts of music that were getting common at the time.
I don't think the algorithms produce good art. Aside from that, I think changing the rating system from an emotion-based one to something more neutral like numbers would be better. Art that makes you feel "bad" can be good art.
So by last count my family and I have been without power 9 times in the last 3 months. Today the lights flickered on and off a number of times but stayed on, well until around 7pm. I am sitting on the patio listing to the rain in darkness (my old friend in PG&E land) again. The rain while hard is not really that bad in comparison to the storms of my childhood on the east coast, yet the power is out. The fact of the matter is the power grid in CA has been mismanaged and neglected for years, with the power companies focused 100% on profit. Power is an essential need. I am generally against government run industry however at this point I very much believe that we would be better served by having PG&E taken over. It should be run as a nonprofit with the goal of insuring power and safety. The leadership that runs it should limited to a group of people that have science and engineering degrees. Also title here needs to be updated…..over 320K without power now.
In the video they mention that it’s creative mode because it would be too hard an endeavour in survival mode.
The Cartesian coordinates can also be misleading, since even on foot you can't go in a straight line between any two points. There could be a fence in the middle.

There's also a difference of height. It might take 10 minutes just to get from an underground station to the street level right above it, and you can't go in a straight line there either.
I will once again post my yearly question: how did Feynman analyze a series of Boolean circuits using partial differential equations?

I do have a Twitter account, basically so nobody else can create one with my usual handle, and never use it.

I don't see why I should let Twitter know that I'm using this service. Furthermore I should log into Twitter in a browser tab and go there to check if the result arrived. On the other side I understand that it's hard to find a convenient asynchronous delivery mechanism. Email is what everybody has but it's hard to send thousands of emails for free and not to get into a spam list.
Have they also considered the fact that I’m literally hopping from one meeting to the next with zero minutes of downtime? I mean when I was in the office we at least had to walk to a new room, now I’m always a few minutes late to the next meeting and literally just signed out of the previous one.

I used to also take a lunch break, now I eat at my desk during meetings.

I believer you, what I dislike is those people that push everyone into Arch and omit to add the things you added.

They’re limited to 254 pounds empty, and I imagine batteries behind the pilot constitute an appreciable fraction of that weight budget. More pilot weight would probably push your center of gravity too far forward which would put undue strain on the front motors, causing them to fail.

Cool project. Going to fire a tweet now, as I’m interested in one particular repo.

Same problem as stated here, repo owner moved on. Thankfully a few people have contributor access on the main repo so it hasn’t died yet. But I’m likely to go awol on it in the next few months and there’s no clear second in command to hand it to.

I’ve also been working with the GitHub api this weekend and I was wondering how pushed_at and updated_at were differentiated. Good to know re: dependabot

Most people at our company just have their camera on for the start of the meeting and then drop off as the meeting progresses. As long as you cam up for the first 3-5 minutes, no one really cares.
I fully agree it's a major challenge and with everything you wrote. I was going to say that it isn't easy in my original comment, and I don't even know if I have reduced, just that I am at least trying and am more conscious of it.

I don't know how to get around it. The systems we've built are just too scaled and too powerful to work against. It's a consumer Borg.

Which is exactly what agile NOT is, according to the core values...

I feel like there was a loaded gun next to the head of each of these projects.

Plus, I don't think the projects were duds. They were instead simply buds - still too immature. Exactly how you execute an idea is often far more important than the actual idea. This isn't some catchy phrase, its how people take failing businesses and rework them to massive profits.

I agree that more iteration was required. Focusing on a particular set of real customers is also a useful activity. Real people have real needs. Developers often have no clue what people want because people in general have problems and your shiny thing is weird and wonderful and they don't (yet) understand it.

eg That time tracker... omg. Plenty of people use worse. Plenty are better. Its minimal, but a start. If this had been pushed in front of a large enough group of real people and left to grow with multiple iterations from feedback it could have ended up in all sorts of useful directions.
Hm, by that measure no one would write OOP in C++.

Low-contrast images will always be unanimously down-voted (for good reason: us humans can't even see the art clearly). Wonder why the algorithm doesn't use a sane heuristic for picking color palettes.

That was(is?) the benchmark for gcc optimizations: it has to pay for itself on the compiler: if the resulting compiler code is faster but the added compilation time is even greater, it s not worth it.
