Let’s assume you get a loan for 30 years on it for 6%. That is $18k a year. What is labor? $50k a year?
I'm not sure but I've always suspected you could get cheaper if you went with a modem like this[0] and prepaid sims. You'd have to test for shadowbans and swap out bad cards, but I bet you could get it to work. However how much cheaper this is once you factor in time running around buying prepaid sims? it's probably not worth it.

> a faulty PCB can be fixed by inspecting the components and/or replacing them. Usually it costs only a couple of dollars and an hour of soldering time, less if you are good at it.

That's a pretty steep DIY requirement. Wonder how robust the market is for these kinds of repair skills. Hard to know when you have a problem like this, who to call about it, and how much it'll cost to fix.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Over half.

Looks good though and I will try again on a non-FF browser in work. Where do the files get saved? One of the best things about draw.io is that it just works off local files.
> they shipped a feature which breaks traffic laws, which is a serious error in a company asking us to trust their judgement in a safety-critical system

You're not wrong per se, but there is significantly more nuance with self-driving technologies than you're suggesting.

A more famous example in the self-driving car world is the Pittsburgh left [0], where in Pittsburgh a driver turning left will often get conventional precedence over vehicles going through the intersection despite there being no explicit left turn light. This move is technically illegal, but when the self-driving cars didn't do this it drove traffic to a halt regularly and held up every intersection where the self-driving car was turning left. Eventually this had to be added to the software.

Examples like these are why self-driving technologies are so hard to get 100% right, driving is a mix of intuition and rules. A significant amount of driving is doing what other drivers expect you to do. If the cars don't behave like human drivers expect, it often causes more problems than doing what the car is "supposed" to do.

That said, as a pedestrian who has frequently almost been hit by people rolling stop signs, I'm with the NHTSA here...

Ok, I'm glad that's all fixed.
It is also because the notation with single symbols is too short

In code someone would write "lightspeed" and that can be searched. In a paper, they write "c" and when you search for it you find thousands of unrelated things.
I don't think Facebook is hiring a lot of freelance, it's probably not the sort of company the person you're answering to is talking about when they say "here".

I'm a data science department head. I've been trained to divide the world into supervised and unsupervised learning problems. Over the past few years, I've started reading old books, and it's amazing how clever pre-WWW computer scientists were. A few pages of Knuth can reveal a deterministic and fast-running algorithm for a problem that I would otherwise approach with some ML library.

Are you referencing anything in particular? It's true that the first few hundred non-Tesla-employee installs were to a bunch of known fans and inflencer types. But since September it's been a completely public thing with objective rules. They have 60k of these cars on the roads now per the linked article, it's absolutely not just a marketing thing.
Yeah! I'll always remember the "Murrrrrderrrrrrrrrr" in random jungle, hardcore, breakcore (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbPjiJ-4jMA), etc, years before I knew it was one of Barrington's
The human accident rate is about one per 500K miles, so if they were able to get in that range, then yes, they would have succeeded; drivers would be able to stop paying attention to the road without putting themselves and others in danger.

But the current FSD beta's intervention rate is more like one per 10 miles, judging from some quick googling. I see no particular reason to assume that incremental improvement can take us from 10 to 500K.
OR maybe the Tesla is so good at driving it doesn’t need to slow down. Maybe it should actually speed up to give people less time to get in front of it.

I find no joy in saying it, but I bet that would get you some unwelcome attention - trademark infringement, defamation, tortious interference - from one of those companies. :(
This sounds like presumption of innocence in criminal court, but being biased isn't a guilt (and certainly shouldn't carry any penalty), it is, at least in my view, similar to being a left-handed or a right-handed person.
It becomes harder to change though because if the culture is to go x over the speed limit, people will probably still go x over the new higher speed limit.
It should be remembered that McNamara cut his teeth working for the office of statistics with Curtis LeMay in the use of B29 aircraft. He was proud that he was part of a larger effort using statistics and other math that helped to win the war and, with that hammer, most everything could be a nail.

Google has proven so many times they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, bringing up Hanlon's razor is a bad joke at this point.

Unfortunately I can't find the story of that Mozilla developer that recounted how many times Google introduced "bugs" that only harmed Firefox, and how long it took them to realize this was malicious due to applying Hanlon's razor.

The fact is, if your opponent is even moderately intelligent, Hanlon's razor guarantees to keep you blind to their intentions.

While your experience sounds painful it also sounds like something that would have happened in the 90s. I don't think most tier 1 organizations still think in that way.
More restrictive because without a human driver it has to have absolute certainty it will stop in a safe place (unlike a human driver who may make the right or wrong call to just double park and let you hop out).

Think of self-driving cars as likely to use their own version of "bus stops" but the route and flexibility would be greater than that of a standard bus
> The optimal path here for the bulk of the developers in the middle of the pack is to make a move when the person reaching out has a role at a different no-name shop that is 50% higher than their current

I think it's worth noting that 50% bumps were historically nowhere as realistic as they are today with the current job market. At least from my convos w/ recruiters over the years, large bumps would normally imply some very tangible upgrade, like a corresponding job title change. A 30-50k bump back in ~2015 typically meant moving from a dev role to a role w/ significant leadership/managerial responsibilities.

Being able to command 50% bumps without a significant change in levels of responsibilities in today's market is definitely an anomaly from a historical perspective, but under these circumstances it definitely makes sense to consider lateral job changes to get in on those juicy market dynamics.
My iPhone 12 pro Max, with the latest iOS, picked up all four. The first three fairly easily, the last one I had to keep moving the phone in and out before it showed. That said, none of them kept the link constantly and it was a bit tricky to hold it still enough once it found the link to tap it. (The link was to a YouTube video about QR image codes..)
What makes you say Tesla is imitating humans? Their motion planning is all traditional robotics logic, not anything learned.

> Dismissing others experience rather than engaging on the comment. Is your experience positive with folks who communicate like this? Mine is not

I believe your original comment was:

> Insta-delete if I'm doing hiring...

Now who's being dismissive again? ;-)

> Folks who go on long winded discussions about privilege do exactly this - redirect, misunderstand, demand impossible things.

And I've found folks who respond defensively as you have tend to not reflect on their own privilege, and generally do not respond well to criticism or questioning.

Of course... feel free to "dismiss" what I'm saying.
> The accusations could be valid or totally baseless

Read the listed report. All 11 accidents were confirmed to be:

1. Tesla vehicles

2. Confirmed to be on autopilot / full self driving.

3. Against a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights or road flares.

These facts are not in dispute. The accusations aren't "baseless", the only question remaining is "how widespread" is this phenomenon.

These 11 accidents have resulted in 1-fatality and 11 injuries.

--------

We are _WAY_ past "validity" of the claims. We're at "lets set up demos at CES to market ourselves using Tesla as a comparison point", because Tesla is provably that unreliable at stopping in these conditions.
Thanks for the comment. Fair point about Kafka :), although there are good tools now when it comes to deploying Kafka easily (Strimzi, Confluent, etc.).

I like to think of Atlas as connective meshing for Argo which adds a reactive element. Atlas can connect tasks/tests, deployments, and automated stability under one standardized interface. It also adds a lot of automation, picking up feedback/changes at any point during the lifecycle and making changes based on it (rollback, progression, etc).

> What I learned from 10 years of work around the semweb is how to build a very sloppy system and apply 'data lake' techniques to full scan it

I mean, bully for you - but from interviewing data engineers for the past 5 years what virtually everyone else seems to have learned is "we have to frontload every feature with weeks/months of ontological discussion and then I'm lost because I never actually had to process any data quickly, let alone deal with dirty raw stuff."

As a person who was skeptical from day ~1 of the semweb vision, everything I see around it still feels like an "I told you so" but in a really sad way.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that rolling stop signs is not a slippery slope to robot rapists.

Or a DOMFS in /dom that's organized in the same hierarchy as the browser DOM. For example, to write a whole page:

echo "...." > /dom

Update the <title> tag:

echo "TITLE" > /dom/html/head/title

Change the charset:

echo "EBCDIC" > /dom/html/head/meta[1].charset // second <meta> tag
echo "EBCDIC" > /dom/html/head/1.charset // second child of <head>

Even go full XPath and replace a tag's inner HTML:

echo "<div>abc</div>" > /dom/[@id='myID']

This is a horrible idea...

If Apple do do this, which I'm not certain they will, I imagine they'll be very restrictive on the permissions. Can only prompt to be enabled from a direct user action (eg a button click), and the latest iOS notifications prompt quite often if you want to keep them or stop them.

The JIT compilation to WebAssembly they are doing with WebVM is pretty cool!

I didn't see any benchmarks on the linked to page. I tried their sample Fibonacci program, but up to 100000 and ONLY timing actual execution (using the time Python module) to not include startup time, and WebVM only took 6.7 times as long as native for me. That's very impressive.

There's a similar open source project called https://copy.sh/v86/. Using their arch Linux image with the exact same Fibonacci benchmark, it take 44 times as long as native.
But that is the point... if we don't do something here, humans can continue to take their own actions to resolve the situation (speed up with traffic or move to the right or choose an alternate route). That level of flexibility allows for each person to make the choice they want and feel comfortable with (as opposed to the car making a decision for you)
They have a nearby garage next to the Costco in SoMa. Zoox also has a small garage across the street next to the SPCA building.
I use Apple Maps in Northern New England (Maine, NH, Vermont, Eastern Canada) and it's actually a little better than Google here in my experience. Apple Maps also fully supports no tracking and a better offline mode IMO. If you are on iOS and in a location that Apple supports I'd highly recommend it.
Well, I've read about couchdb every few years, and people in the last ~5 years were complaining about an awkward query syntax, slow embedded JS engine (IIRC), client-side complexity of the document data model and effort to maintain.

Similar things could probably be said about mongodb. If your data is small enough, it probably doesn't matter.

That sounds like a lot of pointless work. I had a quick look and could not find anything about that. Do you have a reference?
I'm not talking about how all companies operate all of the time, I'm talking about how some companies operate an unfortunate number of times.

In between these opposite extremes -- your language clearly indicates that you think this level of what we might call "aggravated bias" (hiring not just someone in your network; but hiring them over a more qualified candidate, presumed to exist and be interested in your opportunity) is commonplace, or something close to it.

Such that in your mind, "including referrals in your hiring funnel" == aggravated bias (in the sense above), basically.

As to the bias stats you liked to: the findings interesting, to say the least -- if they can be validated. Unfortunately the link to the original Payscale "study" seems to be broken (if we can call it that -- since remember, this is the work of a private company, with products to push).
How would this interact with HTTP/3, which uses a binary header?
Lidar costs have dropped massively and continues to drop. Waymo, for example, claimed 4 years ago they were able to reduce cost of their Lidar by 90% from $75,000 to around $7500 [1]. In the meantime, range and resolution of these sensors have increased. Anyone not making use of Lidar in this day is just hamstringing themselves.

> Should every cruise control on every car with speed limit detection forbid the cruise/adaptive cruise to go above the speed limit?

Certainly. Why should cruise control be set to above speed limit? Adaptive cruise control should reduce speed to remain within legal boundaries.

They moved to pure vision because they were constrained by radar suppliers because of supply chain issues and the chip shortage, not because of any ML progress - they were actually investigating using a higher resolution imaging radar before the pandemic.
I'd rather talk to another eng, but the problem with recruiters isn't that they're recruiters, it's that their email wastes people's time; cf. the article, and the canned response the article recommends writing: what if… what if the recruiter just told us those things up front? Then I'd instantly know this is worth responding to! Instead, we have to waste a mostly-automated round trip asking for what ought to have been done up front.

Of course — the offer would need to be actually palatable.
Well, first off, we're talking about a representative democracy. So you don't get to vote for what your leaders actually do, you only get to vote for who they are, out of a very small list of potential major-party candidates. So right off the bat, you're voting for people who have to, at a minimum, convince the people who specialize in the electoral process to support them. And if you don't like the guy you have, then your only option is to pick someone else whose main difference is being the opposite on a handful of cultural wedge issues. This introduces severe value drift in and of itself.

As an example of this, consider right-to-repair. In cases where it has been put up to a popular vote, it wins dramatically - like, 75% to 86% in favor. But if you go to legislators, they laugh you out of the room; and if they don't laugh you out of the room the governor vetoes it. This is an issue where the American public see it as obvious that repair should be open to all; while many of our politicians either just disagree with the concept, are worried about "intellectual property theft", or don't want to be the first to sponsor something that will wind up being in the next election's attack ads.

So what we have is a situation where Americans and Europeans are more aligned with one another than they are with American politicians.

I also really hate the whole "you get the leaders that you deserve" mentality, especially when applied to non-democratic societies. Not everyone voted for those leaders, nor does everyone always have the opportunity to vote in the first place. The whole concept of a "nation" is at best a convenient fiction; and worst an outright cancer that has fucked over several regions of the world. If you do not understand the internal divides of a nation, at least on a basic level, then you're just engaging in useless stereotyping.
