That's not what I had in mind, actually.

Consider two possibilities, both fairly remote and I have absolutely no reason to believe that they're real.

First, suppose that the people who suffer badly from the vaccines/virus do so 100% because of some factor that comes and goes, such as having slept badly. In this case, suffering badly from a vaccine does not mean that you would suffer badly from the disease.

Second, suppose that the people who suffer badly do so 100% because of some genetic factor, such as having a single gene for a particular recessive disease. In this case, if you suffer badly from a vaccine it means that you've saved yourself even worse suffering when the disease finally finds you.
Perhaps HN has an unusually high number of people experiencing the same thing - forced work-from-home, induced isolation, and 24 months of compounding effects from a pandemic. I'd love to holodeck this and see if a few months of beers, patio lunches, and watercooler coffees pushed the numbers back to 'normal'
My take: Start by talking to a therapist.

The question that it sounds like you want to answer is, "What am I missing?" Going minimal may help, but it also may not. The first step is to identify the problem that is causing you to feel the way you do, and that will open up avenues for solving that problem.

Speaking with a well-trained neutral/impartial intermediary is likely the best and fastest way to identify where your misery is originating from.

Advice for what to do beyond that is kind of like taking shots in the dark, without knowing what you're really solving for. The suggestions in the rest of the thread might be good, but I'd save them for when you have a clearer picture of what the problem is. Then, it'll be more obvious which techniques are worth trying.

Good luck!
I'm not sure what you mean. Personally I believe that individuals should have more freedom of speech protections than corporations or media companies because of the power imbalance.
Third rails are even more expensive for freight railroads.

* Double stack well cars sit very low. There are currently no third rail installations in the US that wouldn't get sideswiped by a well car. So their installation would basically mean forgoing half of freight revenue.

* Third rails have to operate at lower voltages due to the fairly small clearance to the ground, and so they require more frequent substations than higher voltage overhead wires.

I cannot remember of the top of my head what the size was, but the problem was that it was around an arms length away from me and I had to move my head/eyes too much when using it. After that, checking how much space i have for my desktop became something I was much more conscious about. Before that it was just: this new monitor me like, me buy.
Busses and trains are safer than cars, but certainly not infinitely so. Nonetheless the infrastructure we have isn't built for them, and that won't change any time soon. If you want a suburban house with a yard, you need a passenger car. If you want to pick blackberries at the local farm, you need a passenger car. Making passenger cars safer through autonomy is clearly a good thing.

By all means, advocate for more transit friendly urban centers. I'm with you. Just don't take away autonomy out of spite. Better cars are still better, even if they're not the solution you want.
I found the book "Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success" pretty interesting. At the very least you'd understand more about why it's useful to give and how that affects team dynamics.
Some tips I would like to add, talking specifically about logging:

1, Make sure you have a git hash attached, either in the filename, at the start of the file, or when you throw an exception.

This helps massively when you can switch your local env to exactly the code being run when it crashed.

2, Log format should be standardised and have the following:

Timestamp (in utc), log level, guid of the data being processed[1], log message, filename and line of the message that created it.

[1] When dealing with distributed systems, multiprocessing systems or complex dataflows, starting a logging message with "... %guid%: some log message about this ..." can be a massive time saver. The guid could be a literal guid or some serial attached to the data with a type identifier.

3, Try and make your error message unique across the codebase. The filename and line log format helps to track down where the message comes from but if you're just given the text "%id%: Failed to locate TPM in existing KYC lookup being able to ctrl-f that exact message across the codebase and get started debugging saves time.

4, Debug logging isn't helpful when you need to debug something if it isn't turned on. Roll your logging files by the hour if you really have to keep the file size down. But you're going to need those debug messages when you're debugging. If you're generating gigs of log files per day, allow me to introduce you to the concept "cost of doing business"

5, Don't do stupid stuff that makes your log files harder to read. Binary encoded log files that you have to run through a tool to get the data out, archiving after some arbitrary time period into zip files that collect logs over a different time period, anything that is going to put friction between ops and getting the info they need when they're stressed and rushing to fix stuff.

Probably some more stuff but that will do for now.
Hitting a bollard is inexcusable. Even for a vision-only system. They're really lucky that it wasn't a solid bollard. New York City is replacing plastic bike lane bollards with steel ones because cars and trucks weren't taking the plastic ones seriously.[1]

There's another place where it tries to turn onto the light rail trackway and then ends up in the bus lane, but that area of First Street in San Jose is confusing.

Tesla used to make a lot of PR about how they were training their AI collecting data from vehicles in the field, although nobody seems to have tapped in and found out what they're collecting. You'd think that if they did that, they'd log all the places where there was trouble or the human overrode the system. Then transmit cautions to cars getting close to trouble spots, so the fleet as a whole never made the same mistake twice. Apparently not.

This should have said:

> When you have companies making millions paying less in taxes than the common folk who barely scrape by.
The key words here are "central transaction processor". Being able to interact with the financial system without going through intermediaries would eliminate an incredible amount of waste in the form of most of the payments industry.
No problem, and I'm glad that it helped! It's a useful distinction for determining what type of arguments will be useful to make. If two people agree on goals, but differ on the ways to reach those goals, then "is" arguments are useful. If two people disagree on goals, then there isn't yet any common ground on which to have that conversation, and the first step is to have an "ought" conversation to find common ground.

(This is also simplifying a bit, as there are cases where differing goals can have the same next steps. An apolitical example would be a temporary alliance in a board game, where you and I team up to stop a third player from winning. Our long-term goals differ, as each of us wants to win for ourselves, but our short-term goals align at stopping the third player.)
I was going to say this same thing about the TiVo and then later AppleTV. I thought the TiVo looked cool, but I was like, “eh, I have a VCR. It’s good enough.” But doing stuff to live TV was incredible. And being able to find things by searching with an interface instead of looking things up in TV Guide or whatever, was also great. Instead of thinking, “I wonder what’s on at 7:30 tonight?” it became, “I wonder if anyone’s showing StarGate this week.” It was a world of difference.

Downloading commercial-free shows on the original AppleTV was also awesome, and then once streaming started, there was no going back for me.
Ah yes but the blog author wouldn't get as much attention or clicks without his clickbait headlines and continuous rehashing of the subject

The subject is important but given the way the blog author handles it I doubt he's presenting it in an honest manner.

Edit: this doesn't even look like a blog post, but more of a generic page with info (and undated) - so not something that brings new information
> One of the potential benefits of FSD is that it will save lives

But that doesn’t mean that tesla will save lives. Maybe they do a bunch of this and learn that cameras alone aren’t sufficient, and then waymo wins. Tesla wouldn’t have saved any lives, only killed a couple people unnecessarily.

Medicine is the classic example of applying this kind of thinking. You could do all sorts of unethical medical testing to speed up medical research, saving countless lives down the line, but we don’t because it doesn’t make it right.

With another medical example, you could roll out snake oil without testing it thoroughly because it’ll save lives if it works. But maybe snake oil doesn’t work, and it’ll be some other thing that works, and by rushing the snake oil, you just made things worse.
The homeschool support groups add a lot in this context and I foresee a time where every suburb and neighborhood will have one or more of them. That, combined with all of the curricula available offline and online, there isn't much specialized knowledge that parents need to have in order to get started. By the time kids hit middle school and high school, they are able to do quite a bit of learning on their own and are taught how to seek out help if they need it.

Ha, that's a clever choice.
I think it’s less likely that companies like Shopify are purposely filtering out candidates who have interview anxiety and more likely that it’s simply not a factor they take into account.

Assuming that:

1. Companies like Shopify do not have a shortage of qualified candidates

2. The cost of hiring a “bad” candidate is outweighs the benefit of finding the best possible candidates.

3. Tons of people who aren’t qualified also apply

The optimal strategy is one that focuses on weeding out as many bad candidates as possible, even if there are some good candidates that get dismissed as a result.

This is of course a gross oversimplification, but the key takeaway is that there seem to be enough candidates that are both qualified and able to get through the stressful interview process, so there’s little incentive to change it.

However, I think starting a conversation about it as the quoted twitter user is doing I might change it. If companies start wanting to take (real) steps to be more inclusive, they might have enough reason to change their hiring practices.
But, godlike though the human variants may appear to be, what happens when the system reaches the skill level of an above-average software architect?

That pension starts well before 65 for many teachers. In many (most?) states it's based on years of service, not age.

These benefits are, of course, slipping away.
How about we measure and see if FSD is killing people at all first? It's not an unanswerable problem, after all. There are 60k+ of these devices on the roads now. If the statistics say it's unsafe, pull it and shut the program down.

Do they? If they don't, would you admit that it's probably a good thing to let it continue?
> That's hyperbole. Even if they were fined their market cap, the company would survive.

Really?

Market capitalization is, loosely, asset valuation plus X years of projected future earnings.

If JNJ was fined their market cap of $451B, it would take about 19.6 years of earnings to pay, assuming no declines due to reputational damage from the judgement. (2021 earnings $23B, BTW up almost 40% from 2020!).

So call it 20 years, with 100% of earnings dedicated to payment of the fine.

They could sell off assets (recent valuation $179B), but a) that would diminish their earning potential over the period, and b) even if they sold literally every owned asset (reducing the company to nothing), it would only reduce the fine restitution period from 20 years to 12 years. And since they'd be reduced to zero revenue and earnings, it would take infinitely many years to pay off the remainder. Of course the company will have ceased to exist at that point, satisfying GP's prediction of non-survival.

Or were you being hyperbolic?

That's just how things happen. In the US, we filled a database with the DNA of everyone arrested for (not convicted of) any slightly serious crime, and justified it by the search for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_James_DeAngelo, who of course turned out to be a cop who wasn't subject to DNA collection.

The internet is a distraction. Meet with people face-to-face, until the switch is flipped that tracks and monitors that, too.
Police ask for ID in Russia too? This might sound crazy, but police do this in the United States too. Failure to ID in certain situations (arrest) can lead to additional charges. Expired identification in the US is also invalid too.

Again, I'm not seeing the connection you're trying to make and if you want to see similar tactics employed by police in the USA, I recommend YouTube. The interesting part is I have a vaccine card and I've never been asked to present it. Then again, I was immunized to serve anywhere in the world when I joined the military and saw it as a perk when I travelled abroad.
It seems like there was a time when these Long Now dates would prompt curiosity here on HN, without so much hostility as now. I don't care about the dates, but the aggressively conventional are something else.

Exactly, yes. I have a lot of the motor skill you’re talking about (road cycling, mountain biking, dirt moto biking, skydiving, skiing, etc.). And the more I have, the more helmets seem like a good idea.
This seems like a low-profile version of the ultimate hacking keyboard.

I hear you, and acknowledge the strong opinions around Helen’ helmets while bicycling. I usually wear a helmet (I’m in the USA), and for slow trips on known routes sometimes I skip it. If I lived in the Netherlands (or anywhere with a robust bike-commute culture) I might never wear a helmet, because I’m not so fast anymore and I’d be doing known routes at moderate speed.

I lean towards wearing helmets, and support wearing them in cars (I don’t do that yet because of social stigma, though maybe I’ll work up the gumption now that I think about it).

It looks like it links down to the PHP `password_hash` function, and there's this gem in the documentation [0]:

> If your pepper contains 128 bits of entropy, and so long as hmac-sha256 remains secure (even MD5 is technically secure for use in hmac: only its collision resistance is broken, but of course nobody would use MD5 because more and more flaws are found)...

Which means whoever developed this file photo app may have read this clear shot at MD5, and still used it anyways. That's kinda funny.

BeeWare looks great, as always, but my impression is that the documentation/ecosystem isn't very extensive, so I've always been loath to try it. In such an extensive toolkit, I think ecosystem/community is important, as otherwise you'll be hitting walls frequently that will be hard to get past.

Great question and one many of my very talented engineering friends express. My suggestions (in no particular order):

1. Title inflation is a thing. I got my first CTO role in my late 20's and this was partially due to hopping on with a very early stage startup that needed tech direction/leadership/IC work. Getting exec roles in your younger years is much harder with larger more established companies.

2. Learn the whole stack. If you are the VPoE/CTO of a smaller company, people expect you to have the answers for everything tech. You pick the servers, infrastructure, code styles, architecture, frameworks, etc.

3. People are everything on a team. Before you are in one of these roles, spend some time understanding challenges people face in companies you work for, across departments. Grab lunches with people, talk to them about work. Some problems can be solved with an hour of coding a script for them. Most are more complicated, but developing this empathy and willingness to understand was crucial for me.

4. Being able to interview and hire well is an undervalued skillset in the tech industry. Involve yourself in those processes early to start understanding it. Remember that as CTO of a small/mid size company you may have final say on all tech hires as well as being the one who determines when positions are posted.

5. Grow comfortable with the unknown. There is a lot of on-the-job training for your first or second CTO run. Trust that you are smart and deserve where you are. You can figure this out.
I find it hard to believe Tesla has remotely exhausted their "dry-run" training options considering how much like a drunken 8 year old their cars behave on FSD.

The FSD AI shouldn't be connected to the real-world controls until it very rarely substantially deviates from what the human drivers do in their cars while controlling a virtual car from the real-world sensor inputs. And in those cases where it deviates, the devs should manually dig in and run to ground if it would have hit something/someone/broken the law. Not until that list of cases stops growing, particularly in your dense urban areas full of edge cases, do you even start considering linking up the real car.

From what I'm seeing they're instead turning Tesla drivers into training supervisors with the real-world serving as the virtual one, while putting everyone else on/near roads at risk.

It's criminal, and I expect consequences. It's already illegal to let a child steer from your lap, and that's without even handing over the pedals. People operating "FSD Beta" on public roads should be at least as liable, where are the authorities and enforcement?
My understanding is that bulk power generation is probably more efficient than having the motive power in the locomotive itself.

There are also isolated use cases that the US railroads have been electrified for in the past (a lot of it was de-electrified to artificially boost revenues with asset sales in the midcentury). Namely

* mountain tunnels; a fair amount of Western mountain tunnels can only accommodate one diesel train at a time due to ventilation, and the crews carry respirators and oxygen in case the train stalls inside

* any sort of long sustained slope; downhill trains using regenerative braking can return electricity for those going uphill

That's really impressive. What's the code? Something like that sounds like it could be a really inspirational success story.
Perfect thank you. I'm also willing to go as far as funding researchers myself provided all controls are followed.

How would you incentivise or why would any researcher want to help out in this endeavour from a seemingly stranger? How best to cover come this.?
I don't think leaving huge holes in someone's education, because a parent (or one of these co-ops) can't teach it properly, is a good trade-off for shielding him/her from perceived indoctrination. Notice I specifically said perceived because it's mostly exaggerated or outright untrue. If merely teaching kids that the Civil War happened, and that it was actually about slavery is now indoctrination, then anything can be considered indoctrination. There are a lot of parents out there that oppose teaching facts they personally disagree with, and these people are the ones who least should be homeschooling.
