The progress made on full self driving (FSD) has been quite transparent, at least compared to Theranos. I worked at Tesla from 2017 - 2019 and the quality of Enhanced Autopilot probably quadrupled in the that small amount of time. I left before being able to experience the progress made on FSD, unfortunately.

I agree that Elon's timeline's are absolute BS. My perspective on his timelines are that they are almost meant more for his employees (throughout all his companies) to try and shorten the time it takes to 'achieve the impossible'. For example, something that most industry folks would think will take 20-30 years (or is feasibly impossible ie. reusable rockets), Elon gives a 5 year timeline and his team actually gets it done in 10 -- still less time than anyone thought possible.

I'm excited to see what kind of progress is made on FSD once the DOJO supercomputer is built out and put to work (another item with an unrealistic timeline, I've no doubt).

Just my two cents. Enjoy your Model 3!
I know a friend with that name, Sean. He works in consumer service dept and he is the only Sean/Shawn/Shaun in there, everyone knows they are asking for him. Usually his coworker will transfer the call to him and say "Give me a moment, I will transfer you to Sean, as in Sean Connery, who will handle this". It also help a lot when doing intake over the phone. If there are name are that so much similarities, it is best to use the reference of the name to help them.
I've not understood why one wouldn't use Chrome or Edge's built-in password manager. Is there a compelling reason to use a separate password manager app?

The biggest thing I've learned when being in (loose) teacher or mentor relationships is NOT to push someone to do what I think makes the most sense or that I think strongly is the easiest way to go. Instead the best thing to truly help someone out is to encourage them to do what they WANT to do.

The reason is because even if there truly is a simpler way, it isn't always simpler for someone in their current position based on their current biases/experience/knowledge/etc. But what you WANT to do is a really powerful motivator and the most important thing is that you keep trying things and get better eventually.
Currently, any legitimate promise that Web 3.0 might have is confounded and overshadowed by the grifts it enables.
It doesn't have cameras. Around 24 min mark they talk about that design decision. What we see is just a 3d model generated from sensors placed on the craft.
Authenticity aside, I'd still buy that voice lowering vocoder.
Although Celery itself is distributed, the cron manager (celery-beat) is not and will not coordinate with other nodes. If you have two nodes running celery-beat, you'll get two jobs dispatched every time a cron triggers. imo defeats the whole purpose, at that point I might as well use crontab.

it is just another compute with some properties and some storage. ecosystem is far from decentralized, most of things are closed and with no community governance. much hype and hundreds same projects. feels like internet of 95. so never was there. but feels like that.
Cost and scale. HTTP video is significantly cheaper to deliver because of the robust and competitive CDN market.

You can deliver all your video via WebRTC with lower latency, but your bandwidth bill will be an order of magnitude higher.
It's usually layers of HLS at that. For live broadcasts, someone has a camera somewhere. Bounce that from the sports stadium to a satellite, and someone else has a satellite pulling that down. So far so good, low latency.

But that place pulling down the feed usually isn't the streaming service you're watching! There are third parties in that space, and third party aggregators of channel feeds, and you may have a few hops before the files land at whichever "streaming cable" service you're watching on. So even if they do everything perfectly on the delivery side, you could already be 30s behind, since those media files and HLS playlist files have already been buffered a couple times since they can come late or out of order at any of those middleman steps. Going further and cutting all the acquisition latency out? That wasn't something really commonly talked about a few years ago when I was exposed to the industry. It was complained about once a year for the Super Bowl, and then fell down the backlog. You'd likely want to own in-house signal acquisition and build a completely different sort of CDN network.

Last I talked to someone familiar with it, the way stuff that cares about low latency (like streaming video game services) does it is much more like what you talk about with custom protocols.
the photographer replied later that it's due to a leaf hanging down from a branch in the foreground. There was a leaf in between the woman's head and the camera lens. Nothing weird happened.

Indeed - this website in particular does tend to a bit of bias, so it's useful to validate against other sources to understand the background behind the concerns, valid as they may be.

The specific regulation is available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/2144/oj

A useful summary from that document might be:

The introduction of event data recorders storing a range of crucial anonymised vehicle data, accompanied by requirements for data range, accuracy, resolution and for its collection, storage and retrievability over a short timeframe before, during and immediately after collision (for example, triggered by the deployment of an airbag) is a valuable step in obtaining more accurate, in-depth accident data. All motor vehicles should therefore be required to be equipped with such recorders. Those recorders should be capable of recording and storing data in such a way that the data can only be used by Member States to conduct road safety analysis and assess the effectiveness of specific measures taken without the possibility of identifying the owner or the holder of a particular vehicle on the basis of the stored data.

Other useful points to note might be:

Event data recorders should operate on a closed-loop system, in which the data stored is overwritten, and which does not allow the vehicle or holder to be identified.

An event data recorder shall not be capable of recording and storing the last four digits of the vehicle indicator section of the vehicle identification number or any other information which could allow the individual vehicle itself, its owner or holder, to be identified.

In short, the regulation essentially says "fit the automative equivalent of a flight data recorder to new cars so they can record what all these new safety systems do." I'm sure there's an argument about privacy that can be made there, though I imagine it's a bit more nuanced than "bad EU wants to surveil you".
IMHO, its less about where the work is done (and yes i'm aware that gjs tends to be used mostly as glue, and the same with KDE) and more the fact that I don't want a big heavyweight garbage collected language deciding to garbage collect and glitch some part of the system, or JIT pass recompiling a bunch of code when I first click it. I despise latency in human computer interactions and everyone whines about how its worse on pretty much every common PC/etc vs older devices, yet they go an install hooks written in JITed/garbage collected languages all over the system.

Having those hooks written in compiled languages/etc is bad enough, I found myself regularly cleaning the runas & windows explorer context menus of loads of cruft because the click latency was noticeable, and now not only can one plug in a ton of stuff but it needs to thunk though to JS to do it (and not picking particularly on JS, because it would be just as bad in java or python or whatever other scripting language one chooses).

Its just a waste of cycles, and for projects I work on, engineering time is "cheap". That applies to most system programming if one spends 1/2 a second considering that the code forms the foundation for hundreds of millions of devices all burning energy and the time of their users.
Debian should simply not include Rust packages, except `rustup`.

These modern languages are designed to manage internally their own source-based software distribution. Inevitably, when combining with Debian's distribution system, the two redundant approaches step on one another's toes.
I use Bitwarden, but the lack of auto type on Desktop as well as the limited selection of symbols of the password generator annoys me a lot
Exactly. I've never been as frustrated with the modern web as I am when I try to find a recipe. It's the most infuriating experience. I'd pay money if I knew I could access a very large database of recipes, where I know I just get the recipe itself.
It repeatedly asserts that immunocompromised patients cannot have antibodies ("weirdness" 3 & 4), but, immunocompromization is a spectrum. Many people can produce antibodies but not as many as normal.

If the piece hinges on getting this pretty basic element wrong, how wrong is it about some of the more sophisticated analyses?
What would you want a company to do in order to demonstrate the true expectations / realities of the job to you?

I thought they were stored on-disk in a non-encrypted SQLite database. So anyone with physical access to your computer has all your passwords.
Yes:

* Sometimes you need to fill passwords on app login screens on your phone, for example. At least 1Password for your phone can do this.

* I sometimes need to fill passwords in non-browser apps. I can use a global shortcut to easily open my password list and copy what I need without touching the mouse.

* I want to store things that aren't passwords securely.

Etc
Do Chrome and Edge support autofill on other browsers? iOS apps? The answer might be yes just not sure. They are also missing features like secure notes, documents etc.
Real Problems That Web3 Solves, Part 1
It’s still hype, driven by VCs that have an investment in crypto.

Since there’s no strong technical argument, implementation doesn’t matter, if you want to pitch something just use what they own a lot of (Bitcoin, Ethereum) somehow.
I use LastPass. I love that it has a mobile app for me to copy/paste on my phone and my wife's phone. It has a really good browser extension. I do pay the small fee for multiple devices.
I think there are two separate things here:

* database rights, which are similar to but distinct from copyright; in particular they last for only 15 years;

* copyright in a particular collection of public-domain things.

Case C-304/07 Directmedia Publishing GmbH v Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, which was about an anthology of poems, seems to have involved both things. See if you can make sense of it because I'm not sure I can!
> The main reason why English speakers often consider Malay to be easier than other South-East Asian languages is that it's usually written using the Latin script without diacritics

Malay/Indonesian is ridiculously easy and fun to learn. The simple/logical grammar is a joy compared to English, French, Arabic, etc. And it doesn't really have tones like Chinese.

Anyway Malay + Hangul may not be your first choice, that's totally fine. Whatever is your first choice, let's go with it and establish it as the global baseline language that all children learn in school from kindergarten and in cartoons long before that.

Make it a namespaced wiki. Every user can only create and edit recipes in their own namespace, or the namespace of groups they’re a member of (like GitHub treats repos for example).

Then you could, as user, follow users you like. Each recipe would be in structured format, but could also have rich text introductions / explanations, if users wish to add such information.

You could even let users add custom styling to their own namespaces/subwikis, as tumblr, myspace, wordpress, youtube and reddit used to do / still do (with a way to turn this off as user, if you just want the plain content)

Bitwarden - without question - pay the $10 a year. It's only 10 bucks and totalliy worth it...
I am unable to understand - what is the difference between GET and QUERY? Just that in QUERY you can send parameters in the request body? Do we need a new method for that?
Because you need to:

- have the knowledge (duh!)

- have the experience to have had enough time to observe things in reality (vs theory) and have had the time to internalise and digest all of this

- be mature

While it is easy to get the knowledge, the rest usually cannot be skipped so easily.

As to math, that is not a good example. Math is almost pure knowledge and intelligence and so a bright kid can acquire that knowledge and quickly pass to his peers assuming they are intelligent enough.

Unless you really mean Mathematics. Like how to advance the field. Then it is not as easily transferable knowledge. I know, I studied theoretical mathematics.

Software development is only in small part driven by knowledge. If you think software development is knowing programming languages and frameworks and AWS and certifications you are waaaay off the target.
I still remember the hundred page thread started by the author of conky on ubuntuforums.org. Back when I'd volunteer time on that site to help new ubuntu users. Blast from the past.
I empathize with you. I applied for disability and am really limited in my ability to work. But I want to create income-generating businesses so I can have income that's not directly tied to my time and effort.

Depending on your disabilities it may be a tough road. The common wisdom is that most businesses fail — it takes a lot of skill, creativity, luck, and hard work to make a business that generates income, even for people without disabilities. I would say if money is your sole objective you might be better off doing light contracting work.

For generating business ideas, you might look at this post from IndieHackers creator Courtland Allen. He lists a lot of the pitfalls about business ideas he's seen when interviewing indie hackers: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/how-to-brainstorm-great-bu...

You might also want to limit your idea generation to businesses that will reliably generate income month-to-month (if that's important to you). And if you want it to be lucrative you might consider a business that solves problems for other businesses (since they tend to have money and are willing to spend it if your service is valuable — it can be hard for consumer apps to be very lucrative).

One thing I learned as someone with limited abilities is that it helps to be very clear about your own goals and spend some time thinking about a roadmap of what tasks (marketing, developing, etc) will help get you there. This is so you can minimize wasted time and effort, which is extra precious when you're limited.

I made https://extensionpay.com and it generates a couple hundred dollars a month with very little ongoing effort. It also helps other developers generate revenue from their browser extensions, so that gives me a good feeling.
>perhaps a large property where there are multiple entrances and exits, and lots of potential targets. e.g. a farm, where there are long easily traversed boundaries between the property and neighbouring properties.

Not so large, given that (per specs) [1] each sunflower has ~8 m, range and the bee has 300 m transmission range.

Btw you need to bring a power cable to each sunflower, seemingly in "clusters" of 7.

Plugging the wrong type of plug into the wrong type of socket will lead to that.

That's Wolfenstein 3d though. It's been a few years since I last checked Doom's source code but I don't remember seeing anything about raycasting in it.

I've completely stopped watching unfinished Netflix shows because of this, which wiped out anything interesting on their platform I hadn't already seen. My partner still likes to use Netflix for times when she wants a random show on in the background, but once she switches to another app for that I'll be killing our subscription. There are many good shows on other platforms and Netflix is my least favorite to use.
No. Transfer usually means using the same NN model (eg. GPT-3 checkpoints being retrained on Github and then called 'Codex'), or possibly some sort of distillation/sparsifying approach. This is about auto-generating training data, maybe not even meant to be used by a neural net at all.
Here is a recent example, from Canada - https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/lawyer-for-canadian-pastor...

Or, more directly - the Mike Ward case, where a comedian was fined for telling a joke [0].

There are other examples from the Commonwealth countries. I am grateful that our current laws prevent things like ASBOs from the UK [1] from existing here.

Further, by my reading, that "hate speech" law sounds very expansive. Just because the Canadian government isn't abusing that law the same way other countries are, doesn't mean it wouldn't be permitted under the letter of the law.

The failure in "free speech" in the US isn't actually a failure in the law, but a failure in the marketplace, where unregulated tech / social monopolies have formed and there is no proper distributed platform that people use to interact.

Otherwise, I actually think the free speech laws in the US would work - you don't counter misinformation with censorship, but with better information. This applies to "hateful" speech as well.

Yeah I have the same problem.
Javascript for desktop extensions. Makes sense -- doesn't matter what processor you are running! Sure, depends on the version of the desktop environment - and each extension declares what version(s) it is operable for.
The major problem is that I may be running (just for example) Gnome 40 on one machine and then Gnome 30 on another, and I really can't share the same home directory! That would be lovely if it could be worked out! Would also slightly simplify my backup strategies.

I don't see desktop extensions as the "core of the computation stack". Can you expand on that idea, please?
> How do you know in advance if a job has that low meeting culture? Do you read glassdoor reviews, or something like that?

I'll like to another comment I made in this thread but I'll add on here as well. I try to find out as much as I can about the meeting culture in the interview. If it ends up being drastically different to the point where I feel like I was lied to, then I'll leave the job.

I'm not solely trying to find dysfunctional companies per se, but it does help if they are dysfunctional. Yeah, I have no problem leaving a company after a few months if I dislike their culture or theres no much work.
