It’s crazy how to truth can hide in plain site. This guys channel had raw footage of FSD driving through terrain deliberately chosen to be difficult and FSD absolutely shined. Just flicking through the channel it’s immediately apparent that FSD is the most advanced self driving system by a mile. But sometimes it made mistakes. And literally any time I have ever seen a video of FSD float to the top of a link aggregator site, it’s a video of one of the mistakes. If you didn’t deliberately look through the archives yourself, you might not ever know that FSD does anything besides make mistakes.
Yeah, I remember this, seems like Microsoft copied a good idea.
It should be pretty obvious but here are 2 reasons you maybe missed:

1. It accepts NATO as the primary cause of this war.

2. It proposes that Ukraine give Russia all of its original demands (according to the article). This despite Russia being unable to win the war and Ukraine clearly being in a better negotiating position than before the war.
I'm curious about it, but let's see how far the uptake goes.

Where are you located?
Indeed. The "goddamn psychopath" is the guy who shipped beta FSD software and thought it'd be fine to let randoms "try it" on public roads.
Well, a "normal" user probably wouldn't have an email address with one of those TLDs, for what it's worth.
Why don't we leave the clocks aligned with the Sun, so noon occurs at solar noon, and just have everybody agree to shift their work day to 7:00 to 4:00.

Because on a solar basis, that is exactly what you are doing.
"8 to 5" will now be "7 to 4". And people that normally work "7 to 4" will now be working "6 to 3"

That is all you are doing. You are basically just kidding yourselves. It is so extremely stupid, really. You want more sun in your evening? Get up and get to work earlier. It isn't rocket science.

I'll be waiting two years out for everyone pushing the school day to start at 10:AM, and for a lot of businesses to start at 9:AM instead of 8.

You could solve all these problems by just getting the Networks to stream their programming one hour earlier at night. And leave the clocks on standard time year round.
Except when you buy a used car with already paid fsd by the previous owner.

"So the claim that the U/C broke no laws himself is laughable."

Even if he wasn't performing the actions, he would still be committing crimes. That's how they charge a lot of people. Whether it's a conspiracy charge for having knowledge of (or help plan, or benefit from) the crimes before they happen, or if you're committing some lessor crime and one of your co-criminals kills someone so you're all charged with murder, etc.
>I don't see whats wrong with the action taken though. He probably agreed to these terms and then he broke them.

Today I learned that some people in this industry are fine with NDAs and onerous terms of services for "cool" companies.
At least it doesn't contain adware (yet?). I can choose to trust Samsung (I already did when I bought their SSD) and not trust Microsoft.
Would it be legal to not accept job applications from Ukrainian refugees? That is, if they have the right to work in Norway, how's the discrimination acceptable?
Simultaneously, prof. Kouwenhoven of Delft's Microsoft lab has resigned / left Microsoft (source only in Dutch). He was leading the Dutch effort into Majora particles and his lab was involved in a scandal involving data manipulation, tunnel vision and wishful thinking that led to the now-false claim of the first Majoranas being observed.

Zelensky video deepfake
Video with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky asking to retreat and surrender their weapons was published hours ago [1].
Although I must admit the quality of the video is mediocre, the voice of the president is a little unnatural and stagy, the color of the skin of the face doesn't match, though the facial expression is not bad.
Nevertheless, here we are, deepfake video created specifically for war!

(PS: I'm Ukrainian and just try to be sarcastic about the whole thing which is horrific, be careful and take care)
(PS2: considering our attitude towards the situation, we're not even taking this video serious)

Yes. It's too much to ask for a billionaire to spend some more time/money testing his shit before he unleashes it on the world. Poor him.
I recently played around with the Badger2040 board, which has a low-res eInk screen, and was very disappointed that the firmware does not contain a single old-school terminal-oriented bitmap font - making all text look horrible almost on purpose. Hardware hackers can be occasionally puzzling in their choices.
He makes a career of telling developers what businesses want him to tell them.

In my personal opinion he lacks experience with actual development and skill to even talk about code, let alone good development practices. He is a book author, not a developer sharing his expertise.

He spouts hot air for money.
But isn't the fun a matter of gameplay mechanics, rather than UI colours?
That's not entirely true. Polish Far Right has been fired up against the Ukrainians for some time (I mean, it's always just a matter of time and foreignness), just aren't getting any traction.

The key sticking point, and at peacetime possibly quite serious, is the Volhynia massacre [1]. I won't go into details, and context is very important as it wasn't unprovoked, but it was a terrible massacre of Poles by Ukrainians in 1940s, and its key perpetrators are revered as national heroes in Ukraine.

And yet, any attempts to bring this up in recent debate are immediately shot down by the wider public. It's just not catching on. It's not even a new subject, I think most people in Poland who watch the news know at least the headline facts about it.

The author uses the example of a calendar buried on an institution's website and asks some questions about why the master calendar isn't published directly. This collides with an unfortunate reality about the milieu that most Web-related work happens in: the Web is largely regarded as a sui generis medium that isn't actually supposed to be useful to anyone—at least not for its original intended purpose. Its usefulness is incidental to the imperative to produce something—anything—and the foremost concern is that that thing merely exists.

The prevailing view, even ("especially"?) among people who make their living doing Web work, is that a website is not actually supposed[1] to serve as a document store for the organization it ostensibly is set up to serve. Instead, it's boondoggle; the primary purpose is to signal maturity. "Do we have an app?" "Yes, we have an app." "Do we have a website?" "Yes, we have a website." These are the questions that people are interested in, like checkmarks on a line item list. The utility of these things is not a concern. It doesn't actually matter that there's a calendar or whether anyone ever looks at it, or whether that SMB's listed opening hours are accurate and stay up-to-date over time, or whether the lunch menu is available, let alone at a stable URL. Because where is the heavy lifting really supposed[1] to happen? Answer: somewhere else. On the Facebook page, or via Twitter, or through Substack, or in Office 365 or Google Workspace[2]. Sure, you hire someone to make a website, maybe you have an IT department that can "maintain" it so you can periodically file tickets to get something changed when you want to feel like you put in some work today. Of course. Of course! That's what you do. But to expect it to actually be useful? What are you, nuts?

>>> Now, the company plans to add business in Europe and Asia, and wants to be a major liquidity provider in the exploding cryptocurrency market, a goal underscored by the $1.15 billion it recently received from two prominent Silicon Valley investors. That deal, valuing the firm at $22 billion, could also herald an initial public offering -- propelling it onto the very stock markets it now dominates.

Not just Citadel. RenTech, ManGroup, all big HFTs recognizing HODL strategies mean liquidity crunches. And providing crypto liquidity will be very handsomely rewarded ;)
Simply disagreeing with someone is cancel culture, now.
Both.

In e.g. Edinburgh in December, the sunrise is ~08:45 and sunset is ~15:40. And since the sun only really just peeks above the horizon, any kind of cloud cover and it feels like dusk the whole time. Before flex-time, for a few months of the year I would not see any daylight on most days.

Nowadays, I start work at 10am and live in London, so I get to cycle to work in the light, though usually it's already past sunset when I leave work from about mid-October until mid-April.
Not sure why you would want this. I know him from the book “Clean Code” and the Clean Code Architecture (not the book, mostly his blog posts on the topic). He oversells his points a bit too often, is IMHO too dogmatic, and I don’t necessarily like his writing style, but his content offers some great hindsight and interesting observations regarding software development.
which one is easier: Doing what we do every year, and just not changing it back, or getting everyone to agree to changing their schedules independently?

You are right, they are the same thing, but one is unilateral, routine, and easy, and the other is never going to happen.
It's not really about ethics, more about "professional attitude", or perhaps it's about avoiding liability? Here's a quote:

> There have been high-profile calamities caused by software over the past decades. Software developers need to start discussions about what may be done before a disaster happens that takes control out of our hands.

The next paragraph mentions cars, so losing control of something that we apparently do not control at this moment seems to be worse than a disaster with car software?

> You can’t use the excuse that you’re just building a game or a thermostat, so it doesn’t matter. Everything matters. We need to develop the proper emotional attitude to building software; that’s the role of software engineering ethics.

Everything matters? That's a wild take. I don't consider a bug in Farmville of the same gravity as one in a self-driving car, the autopilot, medical device automation, or control over a steel oven, to mention just a few.

What follows in the article is a proposal for a mixture of personal responsibility and a trust chain that can only work when there are laws and penalties, and which will reduce the number of active software developers. By about 95%, I'd say. It would get rid of Farmville, so perhaps there is an upside.
They don't, but Putin and his wars tend to be very popular in Russia.
>He was the guy that let the car drive into the pole.

He "let" it, did he?

>That completely goes against what everyone agrees to when joining FSD, and probably what employees agree to.

This makes no sense.

>Fact that he even posted and and tried to capitalize on it really shows...

Someone posting "reality" has an agenda, whereas all of the people posting nothing but (highly edited) successes of FSD have zero agenda.
Nothing. No one other than the person you're replying to even mentioned cancel culture. A lot of people just think that he gives bad advice and is out of touch with the realities of modern software development.
I've always heard this refered to as source available.
Wiring harness is a real pain. Many shops won't even do it. The few that do can charge a premium.
If they deliberately wrote a high volume of data to the SSD then they could decrease the lifetime.
However, you can get a political asylum if you have a history of opposing Putin and you are not safe in Russia because of that anymore.
I'll definitely try in next project. I've been using Firestore for 2 years and it feels overkilling to setup sync with BigQuery just for searching a little thing.

5th largest (depending on what we're measuring size of):
https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/list/2021/11/

Which is still of course incredibly impressive, but I wouldn't say biggest, maybe 'one of the biggest' is fair. Even that's constrained by 'known' -- some private companies especially in fossil fuel and tech companies have systems larger either dedicated or allocatable.

You can also do black hole simulations (orbit and merger) on far smaller systems. I worked with a physicist who did these numeric relativity sims on smaller systems, you simply lose fidelity (also depends on how you treat the singularity). Our visualizations looked like cartoons compared to these beautiful renderings though.
>We all know how difficult is to find good devs nowadays.

Difficult to find good devs willing to work for peanuts maybe. Companies with a great culture and paying top dollar/euro have no trouble getting an influx of quality people, even willing to grind through several stages of interview practices to get in.

By the same logic, I also have trouble finding quality Ferraris. Though I omit to say my budget of $5000 might be the main issue here, so I spread propaganda everywhere that good Ferraris are tough to find.

>Cynical view here: We're helping ourselves.

More like companies are helping themselves here.

I'm supporting all Ukrainian refugees, not just the devs, but it's funny to see Norwegian companies cooperate to attract foreign talent and spin this into some benevolent charity work when they're just looking after their interests, to suppress local market wages.

There is a Mac App our product design team uses called Sim Daltonism. It basically takes whatever is rendered on your screen and allows you to cycle through the 5-6 most common types of color blindness. I'd highly recommend it.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sim-daltonism/id693112260?mt=1...

The tricky part is that schemes which work for red-green colorblindness sometimes don't translate for yellow-blue.
More or less. Some lived outside Russia and supported Putin. (I remember the disheveled guy at the airport trying to get a ticket out of Europe to Russia because he feared war. I don't know his political views but he made a good impression of being pro-Putin to Aeroflot staff, who could not help him anyway.)

However, many Russians who could live outside did so for political reasons. Just like I would rather not live in China due to disagreements about what CCP does, I would rather not live in Russia.

Before now, every time I went to Russia there was a tinge of fear of political prosecution due to my views, but now the tables have turned significantly. My extreme hate for the war together with the likelihood of being imprisoned for my views means there is no going back.
Clearly not. I shared a house with a guy that worked rotating shifts. It was hell, and made me really glad I did not do that.

But I worked blue collar job the first ten years of working, so 7 to 5, and for a while 5AM to 6PM (six days a week). I don't think many people on this thread understand what it means to wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 AM every day (depending on your commute) to get to work.

Can you please justify "Russian people are wholeheartedly support the war".

I know you are making this specious statement because if this was the case why Russian government do shenanigans during election? Clearly, many people doesn't support him.

People seem to forget 1 person can control hundreds cattle. And there is high chance, 1 police can easily control 20 people. I have a lot of friends in Russia, and they all share the same sentiment. Many people don't like to live in autocracy. even with propaganda, unless their living standard is extremely high.
Do you have any relatives in Russia? I have a lot and my experience talking to them says you're wrong. Your attempt to present Russia as some sort of NK-like dystopia is completely misguided.
Agreed. On daylight time or off - just stop changing the clocks twice a year please.

Pretty excellent cars, and a no-brainer if your back has ever even hinted it might be sore (the seats are a particular highlight).

As far as I know, there's no feature that they will remotely disable, though since the car can connect to the internet for various things (sometimes using your phone, sometimes with its own modem, depending on trim) it could in theory happen.

However, a lot of the servicing needs VIDA, which is an always-online subscription thing that communicates live with the mothership, and DICE, some proprietary hardware dongle, so it's not easy to do much to it other than the most cursory maintenance if it needs the computer.

Also the service manuals are for a car since 2014, they're in VIDA too and need a subscription (before that there's a hacked version you can use, but it's still a pain).

I got a (consumer) SSD from SanDisk that says on the package "Compatible with Windows and Linux systems that take M.2 2280 PCIe 3 x 4 NVMe SSD's" yet I can't update the firmware from Linux. I would have to download the SanDisk SSD Dashboard which is only available for Windows.

I don't want to buy SanDisk SSDs anymore because of this, but I guess every SSD manufacturer is the same when it comes to firmware updates.
oh, I embrace the technical debt. I embrace it when it slows down my productivity and puts stress lumps in my shoulder
This requires essentially every business, person, and entity in existence to change hours all at the same time at least twice a year. It is far easier to just change the clock and know that a store closes at 8 than having to remember it closes at 7 starting this week. I get this is an age old retort, but it's because the common proposals always ignore reality.

-changing schedules is still a change.

-changing a single time is easier than changing infinite schedules.

-the change is going to suck either way because it's a change.
Born’s Rule in a Timeless Universe
It is advantageous to have relatively few timezones rather than everyone using hyperlocal time. If you accept that then consider that most timezones are biased towards the point where noon is at 1200 being in the east of the region, leaving the western side with their daylight hours particularly biased towards the early morning. In some sense an adjustment to +1 merely moves the bias so that most of the region has physical noon after 1200 instead of before it, and this tends to strike a better balance because early in the morning is not considered a particularly sociable hour.
It seems unconditional compassion is not natural to human societies of 21st century. Not in Europe, not in North America, not in Russia, not in South-East Asia.

I guess we should appreciate any compassion that our societies are moved to. And work on expanding that.

Riffing on a biblical quote, who is my neighbour? To a medieval peasant, someone from their villate. To a 19th century citizen, people of their country (most of them). To us, apparently people from some other countries, but not all. It's progress, let's keep up the good work.
Kinda neat. However i'm pretty sure there are still quite a few i386's online somewhere in the production department of various companies. The 80386 was produced until 2007, just like the 80486 and even the much more recent Core Duo! It outlived the Pentium, which was only produced until 1999, the Pentium II (-2001) and the Pentium III (-2002).
I still don’t see a benefit of being vague and call this TD.

You can be explicit and explain why things are as they are and if we have to do some extra work because of code addressing no-longer-relevant-use-cases, that’s just it.

No need to call this TD. Be clear and explicit.

I think in most cases, Technical Debt is a much abused term to bullshit and cover up past mistakes. TD sounds much better than mistake and it sounds so ‘inevitable’, so you can’t be blamed.
