You've rather hit the nail on the head - companies shouldn't be allowed to use violence (private armies) in order to force people to cooperate. Likewise, government should not be allowed to force terms of employment on employers. When things turn violent is the exact point the government should intervene, no sooner. It should otherwise refrain from interfering with private, peaceful negotiations between its citizens.

Kellogg's is a perfect example here - the employees tried to collectively bargain for higher wages, and the employer decided that the cost of replacing the workforce was lower than the cost of meeting their demands. No violence required, just a voluntary basis for cooperation. This is how it should work.
For the backend and auth I'd prolly use Supabase. For the frontend Next and Vercel, which also offers serverless functions when you need them.

> What differentiates SpaceX from NASA, or SpaceX from Blue Origin, is people and culture. We are not trying to build an institute or academic minded organization where papers are more important than products. Our goal is to build an ambitious, well run, for-profit company that will deliver revenue generating products on the way toward accomplishing its much bigger objective.

It is debatable whether they truely understand the financials of biotech. The grind of basic research will never go away. Many successful biotech company essentially acquihire researchers and work that is already 80% complete, the role of the company is to bring it to production. That itself will make up the bulk of the company's workload. Similarly, SpaceX had the benefit of leveraging an existing pool of talent and resources; you cannot build a heavy launch company in Zimbabwe. If they want to do both active basic research and at the same time trial therapies, then they would need an enormous amount of funding (on the software unicorn level). You will need scale on the same magnitude as Pharma giants like Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson and Johnson to be able to acquire companies, run trials, and discard ideas that do not work. In the current bull market, this is the perfect company to build with Coinbase's founder as the chief fundraiser.
For a second, I thought the title was “…through ISIS.”
Knowledge danks fast in the techspace. Do a MOOC series guided by long standing institutes, such as, MIT. Volunteer on a codebase, such as, webrtc, GCC, Wine or SQLite. Earn your stars and make connections. Bootcamps sound like they will queue you up to be the nextgen Mailchimp coder canon fodder. Promises made. Promises broken.
There is the argument that they are already safer than human drivers though and it'd be morally objectionable to stop. Not saying I'm completely on that side, but it is a valid utilitarian argument.
I've never programmed as a job; it's a hobby at most. But I could make simple VB6 programs when I was in upper elementary school. In high school I mostly used HTML/JS (partly because of portability, partly because I lost easy access to VB6).

I've looked at other things a bit (admittedly not a ton), but I've never found anything I could easily make a native UI with since VB6. About the closest I've been able to get is hardcoding whatever I want into a python file and tweaking as needed for personal use.
they’d find other ways to kill each other. that’s not facetious—our egos depend on getting an edge, however microscopic, over others, and when that doesn’t happen, we get angry (that is, desperate and irrational) and do things we shouldn’t. it’s a tale as old as time.

that ‘modern’, ‘developed’ civilizations haven’t devolved this way yet isn’t because we’re all so cultivated now, but because we’ve lived in an unusual period of extended growth and excessive abundance which keeps destructive competition at bay. but infighting (i.e., tribalism) has been rising over the past 50+ years and is threatening to overthrow that period of prosperity and civility.
my parents have mice in their attic & have pretty much just been letting the problem go after 8 snap traps only got one. They don't leave the attic & are only there in winter. What's the harm of ignoring them?
I just wish I could disable the type coercion. E.g. 1 becomes "1" if the attribute is annotated str.
I'm yet to meet someone who can pass LC, but can't code.

I should perhaps be clear that by "overwhelming proof of ability" I meant "the ability to program well". Which by definition does intersect with one's capacity for judgement, on a certain level. (Though is largely orthogonal to other behavioral issues, I find).

I see LC as providing proof of, at best, minimal ability. And I've seen plenty of people who can run circles around LC-style tasks, but when it gets to the bigger picture -- you know, writing good, maintainable software -- somehow, it just never comes together right.

We agree that obtaining proof of minimal ability is important. I just think that proof can be obtained in other, far less mutually degrading (and error-prone) ways.
It's not a tautology. We can observe the effects of spreading deviancy and immorality over time very accurately.
...where people regularly flaunt all the rules completely on purpose. It doesn't seem particularly unfair to look there first, no? It's a bit like harsher punishment for repeat offenders - yes the thing they did isn't different, but there is often an element of "doing it repeatedly and on purpose" in prosecution of infractions.
Yeah, but the issues the Tesla seems to have in the video above (pedestrians crossing, rail tracks, bus lanes, parked UPS trucks) are hardly 1% edge cases, but common occurrences that are in every city.

And it wasn't even rush hour through some crowded European city like Rome with people on scooters zooming in every directions, in poor weather conditions at night, it was broad daylight in a city with barely any traffic.

If it can't handle basic city driving properly, then I'm sorry.
Ireland, Malta and Cyprus are common law jurisdictions.
This game was marketed not as a coherent game but as a mix of the best tropes from rpg's and open world genre. That's why they only showed one faked vertical slice and development for that have been scrapped and restarted from scratch. Scope creep and false too good to be true marketing destroyed this game.
No wonder Tesla is leaving California, over and over again you see corruption and government control taking over inovation.
What is SOV crypto?

Searching for it seems to bring up a specific coin (https://sov.foundation/) but I'm guessing that is not what you mean.
I know that, and I think it is insufficient pay for a full time career, much less one that requires working far more than 40 hours per week, and take on huge liability working with kids which likely do not have supportive home lives.

Also, a better comparison would be to median income of people of working age working in roles with the work and responsibilities of teachers, or the type of work that our ideal teachers are doing instead of teaching, because the pay is so meager.
I developed with dotnet in an airgapped environment. Due to restrictions, you cannot use dozens of nuget packages. So, you create a nuget package repository in your airgapped environment. That's all it is. If you want something else, you use whatever the policy is to get a file from internet to airgapped side. When I wanted a newer version of a Nuget package, it took me 3-4 hours to get it on my workstation. But that's all.

Also, when you write something on those environments, you know users cannot install a runtime. So you get in touch with IT teams to ensure which version of runtime they are deploying. If and only if you have to update it for proper reasons, then they can deploy newer versions to the clients. For all or for a specific user base. This is how it works.

Without an actual business case or a security concern, you don't just go from a runtime to another, let's say 4.8 to 6.0. So yes, development in airgapped environments is PITA. But it's the same with Java, Python, Perl, etc. That's not the fault of the runtime but the development environment itself.
I agree… I’m using Kitty and am very satisfied with it. I haven’t tried this one yet, though.
Can’t speak for the GP, but from my perspective: misaligned incentives (financial and technical), poor documentation, buggy important edge cases, toxic attitudes, egos, and so on. In short: it’s broken the same way any other development is, except it also includes the extreme end of economic exploitation.
He has a collection of puzzle games you can download and waste time playing.
The hard part is in the city. It is probably already a lot safer on the highways.
To me, the most laborious part of the requirements-gathering process, isn't anything to do with driving the collection of the client's description of the problem domain and (hypothetical) solution domain.

Instead, it's:

1. having domain experts understand the requirements well-enough to recognize and push back on impossible/impractical requirements (this being the reason the person doing the requirements-gathering is almost always an engineer of some kind); and

2. communicating that impossibility/impracticality back to the client, so that they'll understand it well-enough to be able to iterate on the requirements (or, potentially, realize that the problem is now entirely impossible/impractical to be solved with the general approach they have in mind.)

Is there any tool in this category that tries to eliminate at least some of this human labor, acting as a "compiler for requirements" that can be fed "requirements validation rules" — or maybe constructing the requirements into an expert system or proof-language and running it to find contradictions?

Not as something to assist the engineer in validating, to be clear (there's plenty of those); but rather as something to sit as the equivalent of a "level-one CSR" in front of engineers, to give some level of pre-validation to things before they're tasked with fully validating them. Something that could live on the backend of a "Requirements Elicitation" tool like this, to act as a CI system, preventing clients from "finalizing" their requirements until they've corrected any obvious errors.
I wouldn't be surprised if that fell under "similar devices", just like localStorage.
As someone who is actively participating in the beta you couldn’t be more off base in your assertions. It sucks to see progress stifled by people that have no idea what they are talking about. With the thousands of people actively using the FSD Beta safely, show me significant evidence of an increased level of accidents that have occured. You can’t because the evidence does not exist.
"On Tuesday, the chair of the California Senate’s Transportation Committee, Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach), sent a letter to DMV Director Steve Gordon to find out what’s up between the agency and Tesla."

This is the same woman that stated "fuck elon musk" on twitter, to which elon musk repsonded "message received." there is speculation this is one of the reasons that tesla moved corporate hq to texas.

Self-driving vehicle data is in good weather in a circuit on the same streets. Over and over.
I worked for a company located in SF not long ago, I don’t think most people appreciate just how absurd the cost of living there actually is.

The people I worked with lived in fairly small apartments, shared with up to eight co-tenets. It was all they could reasonably afford, and they were well payed tech employees.

I bought a new house in the Central Valley for the same pay.
I found that using CMake with C++ was a pretty okay process on windows, despite not having much experience with windows. I have to run cmake and then msbuild and I don't really know the details, but I got a simple GUI application running with wxWidgets on windows, and I don't need to use the Microsoft IDE. I'm happy to share more details if anyone is interested.

It was a nightmare to figure out how to do it, though.
> ...cited the apparent poor performance of what Tesla calls Full Self-Driving beta, a $10,000 option that gives owners advanced automated driving features and allows them to test cutting-edge autonomous technologies on public roads. (Beta is a software term that describes a product not quite ready for general sale to the public.)

Wait, does this mean people are actually paying extra money to become test dummies for this?
Is there a good resource to learn more about this without a Biology degree? I always assumed the body generated matching snippets at random and the law of large numbers would result in a match eventually.
The detractors don't disagree with the argument, but instead opine that current evidence does not support the premise.
The forests and fields are supposed to burn in the dry season, and judging from the wildfires plaguing CA they're going to whether you like it or not. Maybe the sensible thing is actually to cull the fuel regularly and burn it to heat homes/generate energy, and solve the particulates problem head-on which sounds like a relatively minor engineering challenge.

It's sustainable in the sense that it all grows back quickly.
Tatham, rather than Ducker - the former wrote a comment on the latter's link blog.
"This is the same woman that stated "fuck elon musk" on twitter,"

You are wrong.

Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach) != Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego)
At least some get lucky and sometimes slow down aging - for example - when things work out.

I don't want to think about what the others go through when things go wrong, though...
> So if someone robs you, then you shouldn't call the police on them? That's a direct implication of your statement here.

No the opposite. You should call the police on them and let them deal with it. You shouldn't attempt to put any pressure on them yourself.

> avoiding any substance

Don't harass people. Use proper procedure to resolve disputes instead of calling them at their home.
There is. Tapping the brake pedal.
Very nice. We often try and show some visualisation of the work the dev team have done over the year to the rest of the business and this could be quite nice.
I don't get it, the only way that sentence makes sense is if the backlink ³ Giving useful software means he's also sending people games or something which the article doesn't hint at.
Same. People are usually a lot less flaky than on Craigslist's free section. Like, if they say they're coming to get the item, they usually do.
Miners being in it for the money instead of for the ideology? What a shocker.
I lived in SF also, and know exactly how much it costs to live there. I also know that because the cost of living is high, many people commute into San Francisco to work, living where it's cheaper.

But even in SF, 112K is sufficient for 50% of households, and the median household does not live in a small apartment with eight cotenants. That's also absurd.
I also find the opposite true--reminding colleagues that using OSS means we have to own and maintain the software whether the original community/author does or not.

There seems to be a hesitance to fork abandoned or slow moving software to update/fix issues
Have you watched some of these videos in question? These videos of autonomous city driving are so bad that this claim seems absolutely laughable to me.

The burden of proof is on the person making the claim of safety. For Autopilot, the argument was made comparing known AP deaths per total AP miles vs auto deaths vs. driving miles of the entire US fleet... when the former almost certainly didn't include a share of the deaths and was driven under less demanding conditions (highway miles).

> death lurking around the corner every day.

It will still be lurking around the corner and it will change your risk calculus completely. Today, if you go out and get hit by a bus, at worst, you lost 70 years of your life. In the future, you're risking 10-100k years of your life. What's worse is having to accept this risk for your loved ones.

A better question to consider would be, what would people do if they had only 1/5/10 years to live.
Shouldn't the government ask why a "beta" software that's being sold as "full self driving" is operating with seemingly no oversight?
Yeah. Even the GOAT can’t win them all. Verstappen is such an arrogant tool. But that’s likely just a my team your team thing in my end.
It’s not just Tesla influencers vehemently defending FSD, but videos showing dangerous FSD behavior are also taken down very quickly using DMCA. It seems like there is a concerted effort to suppress “bad videos” that breaks the self driving narrative.

Slightly off topic, but it's fun to see company culture reflected in the algorithm behaviour.

There are thousands of clips of Tesla's Fatal Self Driving being far too aggressive for American roads (https://nitter.net/taylorogan/status/1469404579439824899).

Meanwhile, companies like AutoX have the problem of being far too conservative for Asian roads (https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=TFEvkmvIjVo). AutoX has some of the best edge case handling I've seen.
Verstappen deserves this championship, but what a total clusterfuck from the FIA.
If this argument holds consistently with every subset of cases, possibly. But for certain edge cases, humans still consistently outperform Tesla fsd (white trucks against the sun, for example) [citation needed], which means in certain scenarios that cannot be foreseen, the risk to the non consenting public is higher than with the average driver.

Ergo there's a predictable and preventable source of accidents that must be suppressed.
Once US media sees this the headline will become “Japan Researchers Cure Death” and then the article will be disappointing to read. ;)
Is this a sign that Fox is going more Trumpy/to the right?

I wonder if it also signals that CNN is trying to appeal more to conservatives?
Author describes a classic tragedy of the commons situation - many reap the benefits but there's little incentive to invest in OSS.

Analysis from there is weak. The incentives I think fairly clearly lead to major underinvestment in open source relative to the ideal level because of the incentive problems Even if there is some investment and some significant success if there was investment of time and money order proportional to usage of major OSS components.
I agree that MS has done a terrible job at making their tools simple. I started programming using VB6 in 2002 and it was the easiest thing around. This simplicity still exists if you're trying to do winforms, but is gone if you try to do anything else.

If you're just starting out I'd recommend Win Forms + C#. WPF and all of the other gui options are insanely difficult for reasons I still haven't understood.

I made a quick video to show you how to create the app and get a simple hello world together. The drag and drop interface is great. Unfortunately virtualbox didn't record the mouse cursor (I am on OSX) so it's not as clear to follow as I had hoped.

Gee, thanks :D. I didn't know that at all and the article has no hints about that. I came to that possibility but it was reaaaally out of context and off without prior knowledge. Thanks for confirming it, I really didn't understand what was what. edit: I took a look at the page again and there are no links or mentions of puzzles or something, I knew I wasn't crazy (or that dense) !

USA 1980 inflation was stopped by spiking interest rates. What probability would you assign to the current Federal Reserve ever having the fortitude to do something similar? I would place that at less than 5%. The entire financial house of cards collapses before the interest rate leaves single digits.

I know everyone thinks this inflation is a short-term shock due to COVID, but every customer and supplier I've talked to is seeing insane markups in all inputs. If anyone thinks these companies are going to quickly give back those price increases after finally seeing them for the first time in forever, I have some bad news for you.

What started as a transient inflationary shock might end up being more persistent than anticipated.
I'm a big fan of Tesla but I'm fairly certain that, at some point, they're going to voluntarily refund everyone the money they paid for self-driving. And, at some later point, they will probably make self-driving work but on a future generation of HW/SW.

Genuine question: if this happens, will it kill Tesla to refund all of this money? I don't pay close enough attention to their financials to know myself. I assume (and hope) not.
Note that there are two “FSD Beta” programs:

1. The paid software unlock for “Full Self Driving” (currently in “beta”) available to everyone, which provides automatic driving from on-ramp to off-ramp, and a handful of parking features like auto-park and summon:
https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot#usingautopilot

2. The invite-only “FSD Beta” that unlocks the above FSD features on city streets, which is available to a subset of customers w/#1 who have very high Tesla Safety Scores.
I am pretty sure this would lead to more faster aging. Immune system ages itself, and collateral damage it does during fight response is not 0. There is limited amount of resources for stuff, it the only stuff you do is fighting various shit around, the body will probably turn off other non important stuff for immediate survival.

Also, you should think sometimes about aspirin and Spanish fever phenomena.
"the evidence does not exist" because it's not true or because Tesla is hiding it? We should know which, and these legislators asking questions seems to be a good start towards getting answers.
