> the current system would be supportable with a collapse [...] Tech is pretty great at the moment [...] we could just get by for centuries

Oops, my bad - I was more trying to shape a peculiar apocalypse to highlight seemingly neglected opportunities for progress. Software tech has indeed tremendously improved over these last few decades - we're living years of dreams. But in some respects... it feels like US general aviation - systemic dysfunction leaving society crippled and stuck using decades-obsolete tech. Spewing cognitively-impairing poison (leaded avgas). Take a 1980's person familiar with smalltalk and lisp machines and OT factor and KMS hypertext, and set them down in front of modern hardware, describe it's power, then turn it on, and... one can imagine a reaction with at least some element of "WTF - such awesome power, but why is it so strikingly crippled?". Picture, I think it was, an early Rails demo talk at a conference, with an audience largely of Java-based web devs... and they were just stunned, awed by how much more productive it was. I suggest we've been repeatedly failing to execute on opportunities for such transitions. "Tech is pretty great[...] we could just get by for centuries"... :) Ha, it sometimes feels like we're working towards that. A story of "I crave a stack with these <empowering features> I've seen separately... but fear I will retire first, years from now, never having had it available". Another decade plus will be a half century since the '80s. You only get so many patent expiration and monopoly turnover cycles per century. But maybe a 2020's "Great AR Rewrite" might pressurize progress???
Sure price movements are in sync during general risk on/off pressures.

Same can be said about categories of companies in the stock market. e.g. SAAS companies, oil companies, etc move together..
Unfortunately, this sort of thing is absolutely standard when third parties discuss Twitter spam. There is an astounding amount of academic research doing the same thing with methodologies just as silly.

That would probably help, but it's also a continuation of the cat and mouse game. There are plenty of captcha breaking services out there, it only cost about $1 to programmatically solve 1000 captchas.

> Is "for i in 1:length(A)" ever correct?

In some rare cases, it very well might be exactly what the code's author intended and needed.

I tend to lean towards when Martin Fowler calls an "enabling attitude"[0] (as opposed to a "directing attitude") -- that is, when faced with a choice about how to design the primitives of an interface, I lean more often towards providing flexibility, and I try to avoid choosing ahead of time what users aren't allowed to do. It's better to document what's usually the wrong way to do something than to enforce it in the design. You can never guess what amazing things people will create when they are given flexible, unrestricted primitives.

So for cases like this, I think it's better to rely on a flexible linting tool (if available) than warnings or errors.

Similar mindset as Grafana Loki took for log search, rather than indexing each field like many others do.

https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/best-practices/

”don’t add a label for something until you know you need it! Use filter expressions and brute force those logs. It works – and it’s fast.“

Now I don’t advocate brute forcing text as a replacement for a database. But for filing cabinets, like logs with very unpredictable formats, that some admin will look at every once in a blue moon, those 500ms extra per query are nothing. Put it in relation to someone doing it completely manually.
Sure they can. You deposit 1 BTC, they loan it out to someone else. Boom, 2 BTC.
It seems more like a hack than a good idea. If you have to run with only the Lua standard library, and that's the only (performant) JSON parser in the library, do what you have to do; but otherwise it seems like a bad idea.
I have no more trust in anything, anything at all, that I read about this kind of stuff on the internet (since the Ukraine stuff started).

I will literally have to fly myself to Shanghai to believe this newsbit.

Maybe it's really that bad, but I trust the news so little by now that I must consider, maybe this is news is also propaganda and Shanghai is doing just fine?

At the same time, for me personally, this newsbit is not directly relevant in any way at all.

But the scores that psychologists use in their studies weren’t collected from people who trained for the IQ exam. Almost impossible to find out what they ask on exams since they are sold directly to practitioners.
Just as a reminder about how Mt Gox played out - it looks like all the people who lost money on it will receive 1:1 fiat-denominated compensation for their losses, Mark Karpeles won't serve a day in prison, and is likely to walk away with ~3 billion worth of BTC[1].

Who'd have thought that failing to operate a bitcoin exchange is a thousand times more lucrative than actually operating one!

[1] If Mark owed you a bitcoin back in 2014, you're not going to get that bitcoin back. You're going to get somewhere between ~$200 and ~$600 back. He's going to keep the other $30,000.
It's a bit of a strawman argument. I don't see it as being either/or. Sure for many/most use cases the existing web is likely to remain the better option. The real question is what new interesting use cases are facilitated.

Follow-up after doing some more research out of curiosity: it looks like Fluent Bit's C library[1] may support OpenTelemetry trace output in future.

A quote from their v1.9.0 release notes[1]:

> We fully support Prometheus & OpenMetrics and we are also shipping experimental OpenTelemetry metrics support (spoiler: traces will come shortly!).

(I've no affiliation with Fluent nor particular knowledge of observability, so if anyone's interested in these findings, take them with a grain of salt :))

> SQLite has the following noticeable features: self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional.

This "serverless" part confused me initially, since that term has somehow come to mean "the platform handles routing and scaling up/down your servers".

But this use of the term, "there is no server process", is much more sensible!

Although, in many aspects the Nordics often have more "free market" behaviours than the US. I am surprised by how many services are privatized (2/3 of roads in Sweden are privately operated!). And they face less arbitrary import restrictions!

With such a mass population (1.4B),
for most of people to get vaccinated is hard.
for most of elders to get vaccinated is even harder.

It's a choice of 1 million get killed or 0.5 million, either choice, people suffer. It's the difference of whom get suffered, people in big city or millions elders in country side with bad medical condition(low ICUs per capita).
They choose to protect elders in country side, cause they believe they belong to a left government.

So Shanghai suffer.
I really like that about Linode, no click to see crap.
But that's the opposite of what's being argued here. Their claim is that pulling down package 'ansible' should only give you the ansible binary, not ansible binary plus all the plugins and stuff to use the tool and ecosystem.
This is a common conflict!

One perspective says that idle engineers cost money, so you should load up your engineers to 99 % utilisation with a huge backlog of tasks. The consequence of this is that tasks take, on average, months to complete because they sit idle most of the time, not being worked on.

The other perspective is that idle tasks is what's expensive. Thus you must keep your engineers lightly loaded (say 70 %) so they can, in your words, pounce on new tasks. With this setup, most tasks spend a negligible time waiting and most time actively worked on.

Now, how can idle tasks be more expensive than idle engineers? There are whole books dedicated to explaining this. I'd recommend starting with Reinertsen's Principles of Product Development Flow.
I've seen all kind of cases in my surrounding.With very bad migraines to absolutely nothing (while still testing positive). Heck, even have a colleague who had it at least 4 times and still felt pretty bad with two doses...
The electrical costs are not there to do harm. They are there to ground the economy in reality.

Energy is expensive. That's the point. A functioning world economy can't just exist in magic-computer-land, where it's just made up numbers in some madman's COBOL database. It has to have a tie to reality to work properly, and achieve worldwide consensus on the true price of energy and thereby other assets.
> Unfortunately, we don’t believe that this specific estimation can be performed externally, given the critical need to use both public and private information (which we can’t share). Externally, it’s not even possible to know which accounts are counted as mDAUs on any given day.

Thank you Parag, for admitting that Twitter needs someone else to clean up the bots and spam accounts plaguing the platform. Like it or not, it will soon require KYC to get that silly verification checkmark at this point and bots that still exist there would need to be on a leash, tied to the KYC'd account to know who is running it and where it is from.

Don't believe me? YouTube, Facebook and Instagram are already ahead with this.

I won't be surprised to see this implemented in Twitter. If they don't? Good. Either way, I don't care if they do it or not since I never had an account in the first place and by just lurking on Twitter, it's apparent that is an infestation of brainless parrots not worthy of a sensible conversation anyway.

Someone else can cleanup that mess and if Elon wants to do it, fine.
I think we need to be careful. Is it the stated goal and mission to terrorize or is that being carried out by rogue units? Most army and war operations do have rogue units —those doing things on their own. Just about any war has this aspect. If this is a criteria then we’ve all been terrorists and calling terrorism ceases to have a defining meaning.

But again it likely depends on how widespread and sanctioned or ignored by superiors these tactics are in the current conflict.
He, they, may make money doing this but the cost to themselves is one I would be unwilling to give.

He, they, will always be known for this behavior, that will be there legacy. If you are wealthy, why spend the extra effort beyond being comfortable in gaining more wealth at the expense of companies, their customers. Like what relative improvement does 50 extra million mean to someone like that? It's seeking money for money's sake. Why not use the extra time and energy you have to make the world better, be known for something better, leave a positive legacy? Why do people like this choose to trade their dignity, their legacy, for more money that they don't even need?
> hiring hazing ritual

A call with the hiring manager. An open-ended take-home. Rounds of interviews with "the team" that for some reason includes multiple executives, the mobile team, the frontend team, the backend team, the data team, the product team...

It ought to be unsurprising that these requisitions sit empty for months and years.
You are extremely misinformed. I'll go through the points one by one.

> I thought these cars had lidar?

Scale of rollout is a strategic imperative brought on by the advantage of massive datasets. Lidar was very expensive relative to cameras. It also didn't have the existence proof of human-level driving which vision has. Tesla opted not to use it.

> I thought these cars had radar?

Radar they did opt to use, since the sensors for it were cheap, but counterintuitively it ended up hurting performance. It has edge cases in which it is very wrong, for example when you go under an underpass radar gets confused and misreports the distance. This leads to very uncomfortable false positives, like slamming on the break while on a freeway, which could lead to brutal and horrifying death for the person behind you. Solving that effectively meant sensor fusion, but in practice the vision stack has a neural architecture which makes its reliability much greater than radars reliability. If you have two unreliable sensors you can combine them to get a better sensor. If you have an unreliable sensor and a reliable sensor, it makes more sense to just use the good sensor. They empirically validated that removing radar improved the systems performance. Then did so. Anecdotally, I haven't had a false-positive break check while going under an underpass since then.

> Is it possible overloading of the CPU that can't keep up with the volume of data being given to it by all of the various inputs?

Tesla's have dedicated chips which handle the self-driving workload. I believe these are more alike to GPUs then CPUs. The system doesn't have a problem handling the workload.

> The radar should "see" things 160 metres away so regardless of whether the Tesla thought these were cars, shouldn't it still have seen them as obstructions and avoided them?

Go to the actual incident and you watch the computer planned trajectory it is very clear that the planned route has the Tesla entering the center left turn lane directly ahead of it. There wasn't going to be a head on collision and if there was it wouldn't have been the Tesla's fault. If another vehicle hits you while you are in a central left turn lane preparing for a left turn, that is on them, not you. Also, in addition to being misleading, the video title is against the Hacker News guidelines; that wasn't the title of the video. That was a wrong but shocking description of the video which draws attention away from the actual issues:

- There is a timestamp where it plans a bad route briefly. That is something to investigate and fix even if it didn't ultimately keep that route.

- It also enters a lane with markings indicating that it shouldn't be entered. That is another serious issue that needs to be addressed.
So, firstly, because you can't actually do that. If literally everyone stays at home for three weeks, then there is nobody to staff power plants, water plants, etc, and those services fail. There are also no ambulances to help people who fall ill at home, no hospitals to take them to. No police to chase after people who decide to break lockdown and loot some deserted shops or prey on isolated families. No firemen to respond to accidents, wildfires, and arson. All of this kills immense numbers of people - the death rate might be low, but you're locking down eight billion people here.

And it's not just these people. It's all the people providing the services they need to do their jobs. Police station cooks. Ambulance mechanics. Hospital laundry staff. Couriers delivering spares to power stations. And the people they depend on: catering suppliers, cleaning supplies wholesalers, warehouses. And so on, the transitive closure of everyone depended on by essential workers. Which, because of the ramified and interconnected nature of a modern economy, is a substantial fraction of everyone.

Secondly, because even if you did that, not everyone would do that. Some people would break the lockdown to see their dying relatives, suicidal friends, starving neighbours, star-crossed loves, bridge partners, etc.

Thirdly, because even if they didn't, you're locking down whole households, and you can get serial transmission between individuals in a household, so SARS-CoV-2 can last longer than three weeks, it can last about two weeks times the number of people in the household (assuming there are no reinfections).

Fourthly, because even if it didn't, somehow you blocked intra-household transmission, in a handful of cases, infections can last longer than three weeks in a single person.

Fifthly, because even if they never did, SARS-CoV-2 has several animal reservoirs in wild species which live in close proximity to humans.

The idea of "three weeks to stop COVID" was always an absolute fantasy, and honestly, very obviously an absolute fantasy. I am not an expert on viruses, epidemiology, logistics, public health, anything like that. But i read the news and i thought about it for a few minutes. What i don't understand is how so many other people didn't.
Of course! The language implementation is decent and the GUI is promising, except for the most important feature of the GUI - the plot viewer, which is completely awful. Forget about the same league, it's not even playing the same game as MATLAB.
Thanks. Appreciate your thoughtful moderation as always :).
"web3 social" will never be successful because censorship is a desirable feature of a social-media platform. If there is no way to censor a group of people, there is no way to censor spammers either. You will be able to filter at the client level of course, or set up maintained filter-lists (which will be trivial to game with a "sybil" approach), but this is going to be "running an email server" times a million in terms of how abusable that "censorship-resistance" is going to end up being. You will need "spam assassin for social media" immediately and it will be a continuous battle.

Spammers are perfectly happy to pay-per-impression if that's what it takes to get ads (or botnet droppers, etc) in front of victims. They are more willing to pay than an actual user is, really.
>Any market should operate similarly, no?

Ya if you ignore all the forces on that market, supply and demand forces work great in a vacuum. Unfortunately everyone remembers chapter 1 of their Econ book but forgets chapter 2+ (myself included). There are a lot of ways to manipulate those supply and demand forces. Employers certainly have a lot more power to manipulate them than employees do. "Market wages," are one. Who says they are market wages and wages for what position?

>[1] https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/tech-salaries-just-...

I think articles like these try to lump everyone as a "technologist," and it's too broad a category to be useful information.

>A "widespread hunger" for technology professionals has see the average salary for technologists in the US hit a record high of $104,566

Imagine that was "healthcare workers," where they averaged in the salaries of the doctors, neurosurgeons, hospital administration and all the high paid workers, then ponder why nurses think they are underpaid when the average healthcare worker salary is $200K a year. They are misrepresenting what nurses make by obfuscating their actual wage/hours with "average healthcare worker salary."

This also goes back to the "average market wages," discussion. If a company tried to hire an architect and said that they pay market wages, but the market wages they site are the average of all technology workers, the salary would be considered low for the architect. Depending on his circumstance, he might be willing to take it though.

>real examples of corporate malfeasance / runaway capitalism / extortionate price extraction and how much of it is standard side-effects of the way markets operate.

I think it's both. The big problem is the government opened the doors with free trade and H1B visas and it really hurt US workers. Sure it arguably helps the poor in other countries to a degree, but it really helps corporations; both at the expense of the US worker. Those laws probably weren't enacted for the long term benefit of the constituency.
I already can't disable those annoying pointless bandwidth and battery wasting videos that hide the album art, now I'll have another obnoxious thing that can't be removed from the GUI? Time to go back to torrents...
Wow, only 20 million?
Some developers are very much not efficient in a "fully pipelined" stage. Lots of context switching can slow down everything in the pipeline. Even if you're waiting on a code review and burn a few hours, it can still be more efficient to stay focused on driving the task at hand to completion than trying to spin up a small task during that time and switching back to respond to review comments every so often.
And if the Ukrainians get momentum, they will retake Crimea. Maybe the negotiating point would be to let Russia keep the Sevastopol base?
most of those roles try to speak for the customers and a get a lot of it wrong. so you end up coding things 2 or 3 times. or they don't understand what can be done so they get out of their lane and start proposing solutions.

and don't get me started on pushes to get things done yesterday and no investment in product development. so the solutions are half backed and crap just pulls up and pulls up.

I worked there for a bit over 2 years, pretty recently. I heard this from other engineers and from managers not directly in my chain.
