>“Whether a [Level 2] automated driving system is engaged or not, every available vehicle requires the human driver to be in control at all times, and all state laws hold the human driver responsible for the operation of their vehicles,” a NHTSA spokesperson said.

This is going to be the interesting part. To my mind this is where partial automated driving systems are basically incompatible with people and cars. There is just no way a person who is behind the wheel but who isn't driving can be in control and highly attentive in the same way as a person who is actually driving.

There is a huge difference between criminal guilt (as in the article) versus civil liability (as in your example). Those are not at all equivalent.

After the criminal case is resolved, the victims or their next-of-kin will probably try to sue the driver and Tesla in civil court for wrongful death.

You can make Postgres scale, but there is an operational cost to it. DynamoDB does that for you out of the box. (So does Aurora, to be honest, but there is also an overhead to setting up an Aurora cluster to the needs of your business.)

I've found also that in Postgres the query performance does not keep up with bursts of traffic -- you need to overprovision your db servers to cope with the highest traffic days. DynamoDB, in contrast, scales instantly. (It's a bit more complicated that that, but the effect of it is nearly instantaneous.) And what's really great about DynamoDB is after the traffic levels go down, it does not scale down your table and maintains it at the same capacity at no additional cost to you, so if you receive a burst of traffic at the same throughput, you can handle it even faster.

DynamoDB does a lot of magic under the hood, as well. My favorite is auto-sharding, i.e. it automatically moves your hot keys around so the demand is evenly distributed across your table.

So DynamoDB is pretty great. But to get the the best experience from DynamoDB, you need to have a stable codebase, and design your tables around your access patterns. Because joining two tables isn't fun.

In my experience driving Teslas on autopilot (a few dozen hours), you need to keep watching the road. The whole time. Especially on on/off ramps and around traffic lights. I almost watched a Tesla I was operating drive into a meridian on a highway off-ramp because the concrete was approximately the same color as the road. I slowed down to see how long it would take to detect the coming collision ... and if I hadn't been watching carefully, it would have been too late.

Yes, drivers must still pay attention in self-driving cars. Probably a future exists where that is no longer necessary, but that's not today.

> they have been caught several times doing fact-checking by denying some fact, and when it was proved true

I loved the time there was a claim that you could spend three days in jail for such and such and they 'fact-checked' it as false because you could be detained for a maximum of 72 hours.

[Edit: I misremembered slightly. It was "a few days" but the point stands. Three days qualify as "a few".]
You aren't wrong in a technical sense, but this is far too reductionist. The type of calories and the way you consume them can't change the thermodynamics, but they can and do change your hunger, satiation and other bodily sensations that feed back into the thermodynamics by affecting your calories in and calories out. The simplest example is not needing a mid-morning snack because your choice of calories led to you being satiated for longer.

I don't think any for-profit entity can be trusted with a monopoly over an important piece of infrastructure. It's healthy to have competing options.

It remains to be seen whether a non-profit entity can be trusted with such a position.

Thanks for the suggestion. I created an MR to add a slightly edited version to the "Best Practices" section of the page: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/merge_request...
“Woke” is in practice a vague pejorative that people use to redirect a conversation from critical thinking to tribal thinking.

It is used to elide facts and specifics, like measurable and persistent racial disparities in social outcomes including education. Instead we are invited to consider whether a given person or policy is “woke”, which is not objectively measurable in any way.
on the contrary, I have been in one too and maybe it was just a shit deprivation tank but I most definately felt the water. It was not a perfect match to my body temperature and with nothing else to focus on, I focused directly on the feeling of the water. Any subtle movement would create waves that were definitely noticed.
Yes, Pilots are responsible for the plane. Even if the autopilot messes up, there is a reason there are multiple pilots in the cockpit, they are supposed to take control.
Oh come on. I own two Teslas (a new P100D with the FSD paid for and a new "plaid") and even I'm not this big a fanboy-apologist.

Elon has promised the moon. If it's a "lane assist", call it a "lane assist."

I think the driver is primarily responsible, but Tesla is also culpable.

I've never used the "self-driving" features -- even the smart lane-assist/cruise control --- other than a few minutes on a clear road to try them out. Too scary for me.
All kinds of shops have more diverse offerings than their colloquial names indicate. My local drug store sells cosmetics. My local butcher sells cheese. My grocery store sells hardware. My hardware store sells hot dogs. If someone says “sari store” it doesn’t mean that they think that they only sell saris. This is just obnoxious pedantry.
I would think generally yes. It's the Pilot's job to supervise the autopilot.
Can you explain how Tesla is liable? It is made clear to the driver (both in the manual and at activation of Autopilot) that they remain the final authority in control of the vehicle, and at the time of the accident, the Tesla software build did not support detection and actioning of stop lights nor stop signs.

Are folks going to sue GM and Ford when people don't pay attention when their versions of driver assist don't stop the car for an obstacle or traffic signal? Probably, but that's because America is highly litigious and has lost the concept of personal responsibility. The odds of winning are low.

> Why would having "gifted" classes detract from other students?

Note that I am a fan of gifted classes, but to answer your question:

1. If you pull out gifted kids from classes with simply “above average” kids, you lower the ceiling of what it means to be “the best”. As a result, the above average kids may not push themselves as hard/far. This concept is common in sports as well — the competition yields higher results.

2. The class that is left, usually an honors class, ends up moving much more slowly. A dirty little secret of teaching is that the pace of a class is limited to roughly the ability level of the bottom third of the class. Any faster, and you have lost so many people that the class can’t self-correct via peer interaction. Any slower, and you cause so many of the high performers to lose interest that motivation becomes an issue. When you pull the gifted kids out of, for example, an honors class, the level of the bottom third of that class often drops precipitously.

I personally don’t think that these are good reasons to eliminate gifted classes. I think it points to the need for more effective/efficient differentiated instruction. But that would require good teachers and good administration, and imho those things are extremely difficult to have at scale.
This in my experience as well. How did you find it out though?
It's unknown whether it is a galactic algorithm (with some minor tweaks). According to the author, the version they published is optimized for simplicity and paper length rather than speed, but he thinks a lot of the constants can be made much lower. It's still quite likely galactic, but with some tweaks, it might not be. Also, in practice, I think their first algorithm that is nlogn subject to unproven (but likely) conjectures about the distribution of primes is more likely to be good computationally, but I am way out of my depth here.
It's probably evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on how much the investigation determines it was caused by technical issues and pilot negligence.
This does seem like every one falling into the trope.

I didn’t listen to music as a sheltered kid. Once I began listening to music in my late teens, I started with Velvet Underground and Joy Division. From there it was all modern music. Like say “indie music” of the times of the 00s was abundant for me. I’m almost 20 years into listening to music now and nothing has changed for me. I still don’t like most of the the top charting songs, but I didn’t like them 15 years ago either. I might actually like popular music more now as I used to not like most of it. While now I enjoy artists like Lil Uzi Vert and especially Playboi Carti.

Similarly, Star Wars films appear to be completely mediocre films. I didn’t watch them [properly] until I was older.

Some semblance of me not being pushed into the normal popular stuff as an easily influenced young person makes it very easy for me not to yearn for older stuff being better.

I just checked the billboard top 100. It appears to mostly be your basic standard pop culture popular music. It seems like what would be at the top decades ago too if zooming out and seeing things as a whole.
I think the answer's yes, and it's something that would make me leary of relying on a car's automated systems for anything safety related. Ultimately if I'm going to be criminally liable in a crash caused by my car, I'd like to retain control of what's going on.

The idea that a software bug could land me in jail for manslaughter, is not one I'm a fan of.
I simply try to document the as is architecture, and found out I can't really do it as I want.

As I see it, I have a lot of tiny items like servers, clusters, applications, database schemas, services, network things, ... all interlinked by relations. Relations are two way, and typically of the kind 'contains' or 'talks to'. The main problem: There are a lot of them, even if they are all tiny.

I'd love to have a good way to organize all this. wikis require too much clicking around. I'd love to ask questions like: What goes down if this subsystem disappears. So anyone willing to share experience is appreciated.

Now all this is simply about documenting what is. The AskHN wants to go a step further: How to document what should be.
Yeah, the thing is that if you have your own domain and want to send mail from it, that's really no longer the sort of thing where you can just connect to port 25, send mail and expect it to work. Spammers ruined that a long time ago and now you need to understand a lot about DNS and those mail related standards and do a significant amount of work to stay on top of the configuration to have a snowball's chance in hell of your mail getting through. It's not a Gmail thing, it's the entire landscape of email delivery. If you don't have the knowledge and time for that, you're much better off delegating it to Google, AWS SES, Sendgrid, Mailchimp, or some other service that takes care of it properly. If you're paying your ISP to handle sending mail for you and that mail's not getting through, you need to take it up with them.
Your characterization of the blog post lacks any reference to the blog post.

Here's one:

> Thacker’s main source was a “whistleblower” named Brook Jackson, who had worked at Ventavia for only two weeks. As I described, the allegations were either big nothingburgers that wouldn’t have affected the quality of the data (e.g., not appropriately using sharps containers to dispose of sharps) or were mainly insinuated and implied without actual evidence (e.g., unblinding or even falsifying clinical trial data). The article follows a familiar format for disinformation. Very definitive and serious accusations are leveled very early in the article, followed much later in the article by “facts” that do not actually substantiate such definitive and serious allegations.

> “It certainly makes us, all of a sudden, not become so complacent in the use of these things that we forget about the fact that we’re the ones that are responsible — not only for our own safety but for the safety of others.”

Well that is the thing here. There is not proper driver monitoring on these cars and it allows both autopilot and FSD systems to be open to abuse to cause crashes like this given that the drivers have become too complacent and convinced that these cars drive themselves which Tesla's falsely advertises.

So yes. Guilty as charged. Both features of autopilot and FSD allow drivers like this one to become complacent with the system.
If you're reversing with the help of a sensor that's always worked before, but this time the sensor fails and you hit someone, it is still your responsibility. On the other hand, if your brakes fail despite you having had a recent service, that wouldn't be your fault. I'm not sure where the dividing line is between those two issues.
Yes. The pilot in command is ultimately responsible for the operation and safety of the aircraft. See https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/aim_html... for more information.

Having said that, aircraft pilots are very highly trained relative to automobile drivers and must pass periodic medical and proficiency exams to maintain their flight status. Whereas anyone (loosely speaking) can buy a Tesla and just start driving it.
You can if you derive the union from a const array using indexed types.

MyType is now a type 'a' | 'b'
At my current company we write a proposal for any new project/service (outlining 3 different paths for building a new service, or the option to "do nothing"). Then, once an async discussion happens on the google doc between the team and stakeholders, we settle on moving forward with one of the proposals (or "doing nothing"), and write a 10-20 page design doc outlining the entire service, architecture, etc. Then another round of async feedback between stakeholders on the proposal. Edits to the design doc are made based on feedback, and the design doc is then available for reference for anyone.

I really love this process, as a new member of the team I can go back and read the design doc for any of our systems and understand not only the architecture, but also why certain decisions were made. The caveat is that this a remote-first company with a strong asynchronous culture, which forces a lot of these discussions to take place in a google doc vs a conference room with no record.

Exactly. This has been my experience with several AWS technologies. Like with their ElasticSearch service, where I had to constantly fine-tune various parameters, such as memory. I was curious why they couldn't auto-scale the memory, why I had to do that manually. There are several AWS services that should be a bit more magical, but they are not.
Electronic music has become heavily derivative of itself since the current "techno revival". newer artists are literally copying 90's techno artists, instead of inventing something fresh.

There has been zero innovation or new genre in Electronic music in the last 7 years. the 90's popularized techno, house, trance, abstract hiphop and drum'n'bass. 2000 popularized minimal techno and dubstep. Since then? Nothing.
Does Tesla’s autopilot normally stop at red lights? My Subaru’s equivalent doesn’t (Unless there’s a car in front of me that also stops at the light).

No. But if it were with a paid option and no ads or marketing/data sharing partnerships of any kind and if it has limited storage and lets the user manage it (or move to a higher pricing tier), then I might consider it.

I really dislike the per user or per mailbox pricing model followed by some platforms. It gets very expensive to use for a few people in the family.

Lets ask what it means for tech work to be "bad". If I kept the business working, the tech evolving, while saving the business money and meeting every need it asked, including migration to new tech as the systems aged... which part is bad?

With current birth rates in westernized countries, I'm surprised any of these social services will still be around in two decades.

People are living longer, immigration can't solve the problem, people are relatively healthy and wealthy, etc. but there is not enough babies entering at the bottom of the pyramid to grow into tax payers to continue funding the social systems.

Dystopian me sees a world where western governments will have to institute mandatory, two child per woman births, moratoriums on birth control, huge incentives for people with children under 18, and aggressive pushes for couples to raise adopted children and/or make new ones.
Saying that criminals are the victims of the society and only have to commit crimes because their basic needs are not covered or the people think of them badly or some historic inequalities etc. is the popular answer.

I'm always skeptical of reasoning that runs, "This spiritual practice, which requires long learning and dedicated practice, has been shown to offer these benefits.

Yarr was originally developed for use with Relay (formally Relay Modern) in September 2020 for internal use at Contra. It's since been open-sourced to give back to the community and promote Relay adoption.

Yarr is the only routing framework that was built from the ground up with the goal of enabling the render-as-you-fetch concurrent UI pattern. It allows code preloading and data preloading. This behavior is enabled even without opt-in to React's experimental Concurrent Mode.

Yarr was primarily architected by Eric Taylor, our super talented engineer, and it captures almost 2 years of our experience working with Relay and evolving render-as-you-fetch pattern. It's already in use in production at https://contra.com/

It should also be noted that it is not surprising that avoiding the present suffering - through escapism, binging on dopamine etc. - will make you feel better in the short term.

Learning that just sitting with the pain is ok, and you do not have to suffer from it - that you do not need to do anything to escape it - is a useful skill/realization to have in its own right.
I do not recommend starting off with a decision to use DynamoDB before you have worked with it directly for some time to understand it. You could spend months trying to shoehorn your use case into it before realizing you made a mistake. That said, DynamoDB can be incredibly powerful and inexpensive tool if used right.
I often wonder how I would have made a living and a good life without the internet. I finished high school in 1994 with little career inspiration, landed in a generic business degree that held little interest for me, but it was at that uni campus I discovered the internet in early 95.

I immediately found it exciting and grasped how transformative it would be, and quickly got to work learning web development and finding material and communities related to my interests (mostly obscure Australian rock bands). It's been the platform for my career ever since, and has also enabled me to go deep learning about some unusual health and emotional challenges that had afflicted me since early life, and enabled me to make profound changes to my health and wellbeing, leading to the place I'm at now, with a solid career, great relationship and a wonderful young son.

When I think about the person I was and the path I was on when I finished high school, it's hard to imagine how it would have turned out well had I come of age in a different era.

Which is not to say life has been easy or simple; quite the opposite, and the internet has no doubt made life more complicated and challenging in many ways, My life has had several major ups and downs that probably wouldn't have been as pronounced without the internet. But I still have no doubt at all I'm in a much better place than I'd have been without it.
