You didn’t need to, but you decided to show up on HN to clearly articulate your strategy, so I applaud you for this.

> Our strategy has been to solve the challenges needed to operate driverless robotaxis on a well-equipped vehicle, then aggressively drive the cost down.

There are broadly two ways to achieve your desired outcome of aggressively lower costs:

1. use money raised from VCs to subsidize the final cost of the product, or;

2. use money earned from customers as a natural consequence of growing demand for your product, in spite of strong competition from established OEMs, to fund your expansion.

Historically, the former has a lower likelihood of success relative to the latter and that’s because the former is really just a cash transfer from VCs to consumers. The latter is how Apple and Tesla have been able to grow into what they are today.

The reason the 2nd kind is so effective is that, when executed correctly, it often leads to a vicious cycle: your growth will lead to steadily increasing order volumes with your suppliers. This will in turn lead to sourcing for more suppliers to keep up with your growth. At a certain point, a supplier will feel confident that you are here for the long haul, causing them to take on more risk by pouring additional capital into their business to expand capacity. This will improve their ability to accommodate your current and future needs quickly, cheaply or both.

In other words, reality is multidimensional. It is rare for an individual company to aggressively drive down the costs of its product single-handedly, unless that company is ready to assume an enormous amount of risk currently being borne by its ecosystem of partners and suppliers.
the more devices services and programs i use, the more time i seem to spend, justifiably, monitoring, fiddling, and concealing. it's like living with people who try to watch you on the bathroom.

its disgusting and vile and exhausting and creepy. nothing about this even remotely approaches 'okay', and we need to stop. I've heard more than a few kids under 25 or so who don't remember when technology was just fun say things like 'uncle ted was right', and given their experience, i can't really fault them.
Note that this post's malware is advertised with "Low Detections (0/64)".
Cameras usually include an infrared filter (also called a "hot mirror" or "IR cut") that reflects infrared radiation. Mostly because not blocking IR leads to wrong colours for scenes like sunsets where a disproportionate amount of IR radiation is there.

Many smartphones (used to?) exclude this filter on the selfie-camera because no matter how hot you think you might be, it's not going to be an issue.

If you want to check an IR remote for function, try with the selfie camera of your phone and not the normal one and make sure you are trying in a dark environment because the LED on the remote is going to be rather dim either way.

You can easily do Fall Detection with a modern cell phone - I wrote such an app in 2009, it presented a 3D interface to the user to show them it was working, you could attach it to your belt and safely walk around anywhere, and if it detected a fall it would send SMS alerts, make a sound, etc. I had users that swore by this app, it actually protected mutliple end-users (elderly, sufferers of MS, etc.) and was very well received by the users who trusted it.

The 6dof Gyroscope/Accelerometer sensors in most phones are perfectly adequate for the task.

It worked very well until it was removed from the Play Store a few years ago, but you can still find the APK floating around (https://apkfun.com/down_Fall-Detector.html) - although there are a lot more competing apps like this, it was actually one of the first to do reliable fall detection and reporting on Android ...

Main thing about Fall Detectors: TEST them. Really, really test them. You'd be surprised how well some algorithms work and how poorly they can perform if you do a 'slow fall', etc.
presumably, but I was consulting recently at a company that had a Workspace and I felt that

1. Google seems to want to put me into that workspace whenever I go to chrome and login despite not being at the company anymore.

2. I saw some search results in normal gmail / google search and vice versa that made me suspect there could be data shared between the workspace searches and my non workspace searches. Which would make some sense because I, like many people, don't zealously make sure work searches are never done when logged in to my private account. Example of search results improved - searched privately chose stackoverflow down page, searched workspace some days later, stackoverflow answer first result (not scientific, maybe I improved my search second time to get the stackoverflow result I was looking for) I noticed it and thought, huh, probably they merge this stuff.

So what I mean is does this happen:

Search private - switch workplace account - private searches enrich relevance of results in workplace account search - search workplace - switch to private - workplace searches enrich relevance of results in private account - quit job, start new job without company account all searches in private, quit job - start job with company account - private search history enrich relevance of results in workplace account search.

So sure, presumably not, but I'm not sure that we should presume without also confirming.
Are the techniques used different in such a case? Shouldn't it just be the same?

Basically F(C) = R such that eval_C(C) = eval_R(R) where = means something like "discernible effects".

Wouldn't an optimization pass be a transpiler then?
You challenged the tone of the question, but you didn't attempt to answer it. Do you believe that nobody in their right mind would want this functionality turned off?
I think you have to be ahead first before you can fall behind. Tesla never had that problem.
Surely, we should be able to reject and turn off the service though if the terms change? i.e. "I don't and agree and don't want this."
Oof, thanks! Nice catch, fixed

Why would you not default to off and let users make a conscious decision, especially if they had turned it off previously? Because this sounds like making excuses to be honest and the usefulness is irrelevant if I do not like to share data.

The security issues are a feature. Wordpress never ends making money for those who get paid to install and maintain it.
The problem with the argument against sideloading is that we have historical evidence of precisely the sort of stuff Apple says will happen. There are multiple cases of people using jailbroken phones that got tricked into installing malware.

Hell, it happens today with Mobile Device Manager certificates. If they can trick a user into installing an MDM certificate from a bogus source, then the bogus source now has complete control over the device.

The Apple App Store isn’t perfect, lots of bad stuff gets through. But they also weed out many orders of magnitude more bad stuff that you and I never hear about.
Idiomatically the unsafe block should have a comment explaining why this is actually fine, and if it's an unsafe public API it should have a doc-comment explaining how it can be used safely by other unsafe code.

If you're using unsafe functions to flag something other than Rust's safety considerations (e.g. Rust's core concept doesn't care that this flag bit disables the interrupt controller, and thus if you get it wrong now the product doesn't work, but you probably do so let's mark that "unsafe") the same likely applies for that too.

One of the things I like in Jon Gjengset's live coding Youtube videos is that he takes the time to write such comments, which means both the final code and the live session explain why he thinks this is safe, and once in a while there's a realisation while doing this - aha, this is the wrong way to do it, we need to change other things.
osmand also lets you start a navigation from a shortcut as well which is pretty neat. i use tasker (on android) and then add the tasker shortcuts to zone launcher so i just need to swipe from the side of the screen to access them.

just set the %lat and %lon variables to whatever and then add this to the send intent in tasker:

action:
android.intent.action.VIEW

data:
osmand.api://navigate?dest_lat=%lat&dest_lon=%lon&profile=car&force=1

extra:

Sounds like the perfect ending to a nice evening, where's the problem?
Fear of missing out?
>You can easily do Fall Detection with a modern cell phone

Obviously we could do this since phones had accelerometers, so I'm not sure if you read the the product description, but these radar sensors allow you to do fall detection WITHOUT having to clip a phone or any other sensor onto people.

Way, way more convenient and better for privacy. I can't imagine grandma will take her phone with her in her pijamas when she goes to the bathroom in the middle of the night, just to have her fall status sensed.

These sensors are a real game changer.

Up ~10% after market. Should be around 2T Market Cap now. Apple is 2.8T while M$ is 2.3T.

I think I am very good at numbers, comparatively speaking. But these number is till mind boggling. It is hard to comprehend how and why they could continue to grow. With $140B cash while Android is still half polished. GCP not competing. And killing half a dozen random products and services from time to time.
There are no democratic governments, we have republics which are just a bit better oligarchies. We can make free and open systems that are more democratic based on participation, voluntarism and actual people voting. Which is what is happening in crypto. Of course in every system there is a possibility of corruption, but for crypto that's obvious and people are actually working on sloving this as a problem while in the real world that's a feature.

Sure and they can keep it, I just don't know why they need to control everyone else too. I'm on the other side of the planet and the only relevant politics is the US, whether or not I get to own a home in my lifetime depends on one guy deciding how strong he wants the dollar to be ... I don't find this system particullary reasonable.

yeah, this is mostly true...see for example the entire academic school of existential psychology known as Terror Management Theory...there are a number of good books in this area, such as The Worm at the Core: The Role of Death in Life...also see the book Corruption of Reality by Schumaker...

basically these books and the entire TMT field derives from anthropology and sees mankind as a social animal adapted to his environment, and that we are shaped by evolution to be adapted to our environment as a social animal and that nearly everything about mankind is some sort of evolutionary adaption, including our definition of reality...you might say that reality is defined socially...we are social animals, after all...

one of schumaker's arguments is that because of our awareness of inevitable death, we filter and corrupt reality as part of an adaptation to our environment...we do this as cultural entities and not as individuals
Looks great! Do you consider adding a plain-text input/output format? Would be great to keep these diagrams in a VCS.
You probably meant to write "evolutionary psychology" instead of "existential psychology" ?
Examples of the primary exposure to the concept of cultural appropriation being fringe cases the appear absurd? Sure, just search it on YouTube. Regardless of the vagaries of the algo for you, several examples are sure to be on the first page.
Just reading up on this stuff a bit: those mutant apes are worth 21 ETH now and will soon be, with the current trajectory, around 50 ETH if the crypto market doesn't get a good crash. How crazy are people?

I know a guy who was a waiter from a not well off family in 2013, read about bitcoin and maxxed out his creditcards, borrowed money from all his friends, relatives and went 'all in'. His bet paid off as we know now: last I spoke with him he had close to 100m$, about half of which in real world money and half in crypto. But I can imagine people making the same bets when reading about these monkeys; will they laugh at the rest of us in a few years too?
You can reconstruct the images with neural networks even if you have little signal to guide.
Alternative view:

A) any microbiologist may eventually need to learn very basic coding to do their job/tasks effectively;

B) a programmer likely won’t be interested in learning even basic microbiology unless hired by microbiologists.
This. I've never worked at FAANG, but recruiter spam stops for some time whenever I change companies.
Thanks for taking a moment to give that feedback!
that's a myth. it's the opposite that is true.
This is about how to represent that compactly in an implementation, not trying to replace the high level abstraction.

no, but you could say that existential psychology as it mainly exists today is merely a subset of evolutionary psychology.
Trisquel 10.0 Nabia release announcement
I'm relying on search history in my Google Workspace account every single day. It's very convenient and I have a feeling most people would agree with that.

What is a double-edged sword is how this history is being used.

If it's just about offering search history for each individual user, then it's not a privacy issue and strictly an improvement in convenience. Turning it on offers the convenience, turning it off, removes it.

This is of course different if this history is used for other profiling and for ad sales, but we just learned that the data is not used this way. Now we can either trust them that this is true, or we don't.

But if we don't, what good is a setting then because if we don't trust them to begin with, why would we trust them that disabling the feature also disables tracking?

So tell me: Why do you believe that anybody in their right mind would want this functionality turned off?
You do realise that you have to add this to every swimsuit on the planet, right? And all other clothes that may exhibit it this behaviour?

It is not the material that’s buggy, it’s new technology which can look under clothes and damage privacy that’s the problem.
I disagree that this is more convenient/better for privacy.

With the app: the user already has a cell phone, and doesn't need to buy anything else to get protected from falls. No proprietary hardware, just an app to install and he's safe. Plus, he'll always have his phone on him and can call/be called whenever deemed necessary by his caregivers.

There are no privacy implications whatsoever, because the app only reports to the people it is configured to report to - by SMS and Twitter, as well as local audio alerts.

BTW, I built this app for a company that had already developed hardware-based fall detectors, over ten years ago - this is not by any means a new market - which functioned perfectly every time (not needing mmWave) .. and which they determined were not popular because it required extra proprietary/special hardware, which most elderly in this market are suspicious of .. but given the choice to install a Fall Detector on their existing cell phone, which they carry around anyway as a safety net, was a no brainer ..
Looks like someone took inspiration from create-react-app, cool to see that kind of tooling!

I don't think it's fair to say the core team isn't doing much to improve or prevent degrading performance — they performance-test every PR: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/contributors/co...

There's also a performance team (for general WP performance, but also covering the editor/JS) that meets regularly and posts minutes. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/02/01/performance-team-...

Page performance from sites made with WP's block editor is pretty good compared to other editor plugins too, which probably matters more than editor performance (more people generally read a site than write it): https://wptavern.com/gutenbergs-faster-performance-is-erodin...

So that includes Bernie then? I think your disdain for Clinton does not make you a fair judge of the quality of this fact check. Snopes isn't a news website, so they wouldn't cover the entire Q&A session. Also, the question wasn't whether Clinton thinks of Bernie supporters as basement dwellers. It's whether she called them that, which is unequivocally no.

Being unionized doesn't mean that pay is non-negotiable or anything of the sort. Yes, the union typically establishes a baseline pay based on experience, but individuals can still negotiate their own wages.
Sibling comments have mentioned web torrents, you could also look at IPFS for something related to what you're describing (without the abuse) https://ipfs.io/
Additionally limiting people to only writing own micro-services if all the platform guarantees (guard rails, really) are implemented is a good idea.

If the platform-standard tooling still works -- expected logging libs, tracing, etc -- you can use what you like to do the actual work.
"I think "tracking" is a bit misleading here." And I think you are playing a very glib game of apologia.

The benefits are not misunderstood, but the ramifications of being held by a company that is getting progressively more oblique and whose actions more obfuscated by marketing speak and sleight of hand PR don't make the ROI better for 'the actual product' when put under scrutiny.
>With the app: the user already has a cell phone, and doesn't need to buy anything else to get protected from falls

Do you always take your phone with you when you go to the bathroom half asleep in the middle of the night with no pockets in your pijamas?

I am sure my grandma does not do that and never will. Nor will she be ok with me belting a phone onto her at all times.

This idea is flawed by design from the get-go, which is why it never took off despite smartphones becoming ubiquitous.
I don't care about them. If they wan't to wait for an e-mail all day, it's their problem. I won't hate this technology just because some users of it are dumb.
I can share from Ferrous side that the partnership started "clicking" when we found our common interest in product quality and user service.
Sure, but they're not getting that 3d map from binocular vision. The forward camera sensors are within a few mm of each other and different focal lengths.

And the tweet thread you linked confirms it's a ML depth map:

> Well, the cars actually have a depth perceiving net inside indeed.

My speculation was that a binocular system might be less prone to error than the current net.

This problem is not a problem if you have incoming information filters, which email had for ages. You don’t have to have mixed feelings, just split it in two parts and have clear feelings of each.

The real problem is that corporations treat all users as idiots who can’t control their software. But a big part of them are not. These talks about users unable to setup their devices (or to get help from someone who can) is nonsense they want us to believe in. And I see signs everywhere that most of software-versed people already believe in it. Feels like seeing sophisticated math proofs, all based on 1+1==3 for some reason.
Watch your step on that slipper slope

I don't have enough experience with the technical challenges of getting a good signal from a phone's tiny GPS antenna inside a vehicle, but that difficulty shouldn't give a company the right to violate privacy. If hardware is limited, make it better or make the limitation clear to the user and let them decide if they want to give extra data to allow a better experience.

We've had good enough navigation in mobile phones for years, why would they suddenly need to make this change now? And why can't I just keep the slightly worse experience if I prefer GPS-only location?
