I'm still absolutely furious that SF managed the boom times by handing over massive amounts of cash to landlords and property owners, by restricting construction, that came directly out of the pockets of workers and has resulted in massive displacement.

Sure, the tax revenue looked great, but it happened in a way that caused great human suffering by making occupancy in the city zero sum, and awarding it to only those who had the most money to pay. That's not how it had to be, and choosing a zero-sum economic system rather than positive sum was foolish, and only meant to appease those with conservative views on construction. And by basing tax revenues on the business cycle, SF is now at such great risk, with huge social spending needed to repair the damage it inflicted with this unnecessary zero-sum system.

Sadly, those who will be hurt the most by a potential downturn are not those who benefited by setting up a bad system. A downturn will help nearly no one, and cause great suffering. I feel a little sick in my stomach when I hear some hoping for a downturn, either as a chance for them to finally buy real estate, or as a chance for S.F. to be made great again by returning to some imagined past. Both of these are very unlikely, especially the second.
What's irresponsible to me is how Tesla has advertised their Autopilot feature for the last six years[1]:

> The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.

[1] https://www.tesla.com/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware...
Could it be HN that's slowing it down?
Wut? You want Tesla prosecuted because they are fixing issues over the air?

If the NHTSA think there is a safety issue with Tesla Autopilot they will require Tesla to… fix it. Perhaps remotely.
Defending your IP as the name implies would obviously consist of defensive moves, noticeably different than aggressive retaliation.

You don't need to know much about copyrights or patents to instantly recognize when you see overagressive predatory enforcement, versus straightforward defense.

For some people it's not enough to halt a violation, their team is truly motivated to fully inflict torture on the identified violator.
Yes. As Smedley Butler said:

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
Just got one of these on Craigslist for $100. No complaints!
I didn't assume it was about working out but I don't even get the barbell analogy. Working with a barbell is something that demands effort and control, and slowly, steadily working up in weight and/or repetition depending on your goals. It's is not at all "lay on the couch all week and then lift 500lb on Sunday"
I have the beta (finally). It’s very very rough.
Agreed. It's time to establish the protocol for how to handle such a system with respect.
Good point tho
This doesn't make any sense at all when you look at the prices of real estate. People want to be there, but they are not allowed due to pricing reducing demand.
TVs today are an absolute hellscape. It’s crazy that my 15 year-old samsung is superior to today’s market in every way except resolution; no network connection/random updates/ads/screenshot hashes being send, a simple and instantaneous remote, and it doesn’t take a full minute to turn on or change the input.

Nobody wants this garbage if they actually understand what is happening. The only “solution” I know is to never set up the network, and use appletv or similar set top box (which will still have unobtrusive content placement ads and likely tracking). A VLAN might work to support casting but is a administrative headache.

I’d pay primo money for a dumb samsung that just ran their 2008 firmware. LG now has TVs with cameras built in, the stuff of nightmares. Idiocracy is real.
I got it this week. It's not really worth using in its current state. It makes minor mistakes every minute or two, major ones every five minutes or so.

I bought it years ago mostly for the guaranteed computer upgrade and the novelty of testing it as it develops. It's great as a novelty, really cool! But it is dangerous to use right now, and I don't care what anyone says, it's not going to be truly ready for years. In fact I think it needs another computer upgrade and probably a camera upgrade too.

I agree that they should have nailed autopark and summon before moving on to FSD. As it stands they are both useless. But if I could record and play back summon paths in known locations, that would be actually useful.
Seems broken. Used to be able to load up two youtube videos, hit play on both, and cross fade between the two of them.

Would Hubbard and Hubbard be too difficult if I found Spivaks calculus too difficult?

I have been struggling to find a linear algebra book that isn't too abstract or too verbose. I did take LA and calculus a decade ago and I am trying to build up a background strong enough for probability and statistics.
I wrote a separate blog post focusing on when and how to invalidate cache and how it can be done – https://blog.the-pans.com/when-and-how-to-invalidate-cache/.
There's a whole 'interpersonal' section that has little to do with money. Even under 'Make the most of your resources' there are ideas like "Tape over annoying LED lights".

It's worth reading deeper.
In my experience this statement is incorrect: “Using abstractions extensively actively encourages study into how to implement them efficiently, contrary to Blow's claim that their use will lead to few understanding their implementation.”

I would agree with Jonathon Blow here that it is very common to use abstractions without there being any understanding of or even an interest to discover the underlining implementation of that abstraction.

For example, why else would the question, “Do you use multithreading in NodeJS?” be a common interview question?

It is commonly known that NodeJS “runs code asynchronously” but how often would it be that an engineer could accurately explain how this is done?

While some may find the benefit in understanding the system in which they work in completion I believe a majority is content with living with assumptions.
I'm not talking about whether any "Taiwan independence" notion existed in Taiwan. The US hasn't entertained fantasies of Taiwan's government taking over the mainland, for more than 50 years.

In reality, the US doesn't believe that they're the same country: the status quo is that they aren't. The fact that the US can't say as much out loud, to avoid insulting the government of the PRC, doesn't make that any less true.

I guess what I'm saying is, nobody should pretend that the the official pronouncements of the US are its actual beliefs or policy around Taiwan. Everybody knows the US supports Taiwan staying independent, and just has to dance around that in public statements. Anything it says to the contrary is a polite fiction without real world effect.
It's good advice for a novice (it's the Starting Strength program) because it's easy to remember and stick with. It's true it will only take you so far, and you will eventually need a more nuanced program depending on your goals.
I'm pretty sure 60 is within 30-60.

It's a tactic for managers to feel better about themselves. Look, the team is expressing gratitude! I'm a success as a manager! If you want to thank someone message them on Slack. We don't need a 30 (or 60) minute meeting for an enforced feel good moment.

I've found this really effective too. I've been using Anki instead but same general idea. Ramping up on new topics still takes decent time and effort but I've been really surprised how easy it is to retain things after the initial learn.

Why would people want to live in relative expensive housing if there are no jobs in the city for them?

Converted apartments are not going to be "affordable" (by say the likes of students, and people just out of college not in finance or tech.

Once the white collar workers leave, there is less demand for service workers to live there. Sure maybe some salaried workers like in emergency services and policing might choose to live there. If I were a service worker, living in SF proper would not be the thing I'm looking to do.
It is really cool to be able to open a browser in your desktop and visit your website, recursively. How many levels deep have you tested this?
Oh man you’re going to be really upset when you hear that autopilot is just another name for advanced cruise control. A huge percentage of the cars on the road have it.

Even “normal” cars like the Civic or CRV.

It's not about us, it's about the guy who delivers lunch, or the girl who owns the bagel shop.

Isn’t that just an instance of the broken window parable? There’s nothing to prevent the bagel shop locating adjacent to a residential area instead of an office park - then society sees the benefit of WFH and tasty round breads.
> The transit system’s looming deficit has given rise to whispers of a new regional tax to fill the gap.

This is a reference to the rental prices. I can see how I didn't make that clear. SF fell the hardest out of metropolitan areas and has grown the slowest.

I think the supervisors decide that, not the mayor?

Probably because the supes are elected by neighborhood, they are very NIMBY.
Nobody outside the team needs a single iota of visibility into my efforts to keep our internal documentation tidy. Anyone who is keeping tabs on this is wasting their time and needs to find something useful to do.

> Nobody said typos.

The claim in this thread is that a ticket is necessary for all changes, and fixing typos is a change.

> How is that more efficient than you taking 30 seconds to write a ticket and 15 seconds to talk about it on stand up?

I'm so confused. The "that" here is making the change itself vs. making the change itself and doing two other things. The way it's more efficient is that you do just the one thing, instead of that one thing and also two other things. Maybe I don't understand your question...
For some reason the Guardian's link to the original study doesn't work. This does:

I've only managed to skim it so far, but it seems like there was a lot of effort to compare the similarities of the shapes of the artifacts which were collected over large areas. What I didn't see was anything beyond correlation. In my very simplistic view, I wonder how much of the shape is driven by the size of a person's hand holding the rough stone to be shaped, and the structure of the rock and how easily it cleaves while still holding a useful edge.

With cooking, there are small circular dough things stuffed with some filling all over the world (pierogis, gyoza, etc). I don't see this as some sort of massive social phenomenon. It's something that is relatively easy to invent independently. Somehow someone decides that they want to grind up a grain, and make a dough. Rolling that dough into a ball is something that any 5 year old will do with Playdoh with no prompting. Then flattening that into a circle is pretty natural. The leap to adding a filling, folding it in half and then cooking it somehow is not that great.
Private schools aren't the norm in the Bay Area, they just fund their local public schools more and then keep out anyone they don't like via NIMBYism.

They're more normal in SF because of the school lottery system which can assign you to a school whether or not you can actually get there on time every day.

Haha. Tell them we can't do anything differently because that would mess up the meticulous Jira/Agile flow we've setup in other meetings and have affirmed in retros.
Handstands definitely work the shoulders.

There's a reason why handstand pushups (often done against a wall for muscle-building/strength purposes) are considered an advanced shoulder exercise. It's sort of the calisthenics equivalent of the overhead press.
S.F. has nearly 16 million square feet of vacant office space. Why can't it become housing?

> Some commercial real estate firms say that as interest in opening businesses downtown has dropped, it has risen in other areas of the city.

> “We had our best year in 2021,” said Santino DeRose, managing broker at Maven real estate. “The neighborhoods by far, where people lived and worked, came back the fastest.”

This actually might be a good thing. If the city gets optimized for people who want to live there verses people who are forced by their job to work in the city, in the long term it will be better for everyone and relieve some of the upward pressure on housing.
Account reputation means having contributed to projects with reputation.
When I was buying my first home, I decided to try paying an hourly rate for a 'second opinion' from another Real Estate Agent (on the theory that my primary one had an incentive to close on a mediocre deal quickly). I could have tried harder, but I was disappointed to get feedback from the one I talked to in depth that nobody would risk their relationships/reputation for a few hundred dollars.

I'm not the first person to say it, nor is this the biggest example, but definitely evidence in favor of "Real Estate Agents are a oligopolistic cartel"
Sounds like a good thing to fix.

Edit to add: But also it seems like there are two things going on in this thread. On the one hand, the reason for tickets is (supposedly) for a compliance audit log. And surely the auditing system could read from both Jira and GitHub. But this question of what product managers can access is a different one. I think the more likely reason for these rules is for "product managers" who are really acting as project managers and are trying to micromanage through tickets.
I don't blame him for responding publicly. I do however think Armstrong is behaving blatantly hypocritically by calling out his employees for violating the corporate values (that he wrote!), while he himself ignores them out of expedience.
> The NHTSA has a reputation of not f*king around so I would definitely side with @dangrossman on this thing.

So did the FAA and then they let Boeing self-validate the 737 MAX. Just saying..
A some older Model S/X vehicles with Autopilot 2.0 hardware lacked driver-facing cameras, but modern ones, along with all Model 3/Y have them.
There's weights on either end of a barbell but nothing in the middle. The barbell strategy is likewise about seeking the extremes (the ends) and avoiding the middle.
I think one of Tesla's biggest problems with any of their autonomous systems is the names they give those systems. They confuse regulators, reporters, and consumers.

Most reporters seem to confuse "autopilot" with "full self driving" or vice versa. It's not uncommon to see sentences like "Autopilot, a feature that costs $10k, is still in beta."

Autopilot is cruise control that keeps you within a lane when it can. That's it. Other cars have it, and they're equally effective or ineffective.

Full self driving, aside from being terrifying, does it all, and I suspect it's usually what regulators and reporters mean when they say "Autopilot."

I think if Tesla had used "lane aware cruise control" as the name for "Autopilot", it'd have helped reduce the number of times people confuse the two.

Frankly, as an owner of a Tesla that has both features, I wouldn't mind at all if both were pulled from the software. FSD is absolutely terrifying. I'd rather let my teenage son drive me than have FSD do it. Autopilot feels like a novelty. Given how frequently the car yells at you when you're not holding the wheel, it's hardly better than simple cruise control.
You are assuming that the homeless person is drunk, begging for money, strung out, etc., or otherwise in need of your help.

Just because you can use something doesn’t mean you should use it.

If you have 10k writes a second and 90k reads a second then SQLite is an awful choice.
When drivers receive as much training as pilots, then it will be reasonable to draw comparisons between autopilot for planes, and autopilot for cars.
Could be a side-effect of Windows going downhill while MacOS becomes more familiar due to the iPhone environment.
Well spotted. This is arguably a hole, albeit a deliberate one. In practice the main reason people do this is collecting some sort of metric, whose exact value is unimportant and which anyway isn't contemplated by the machine.

If your program tries to actually act on this data then yeah, you have successfully made your own life unnecessarily exciting and debugging your program may be difficult. I think it's fair to say you've only yourself to blame though since you had to explicitly choose this.

Somewhere along the way, we seem to have forgotten that we have processors that can do 3 billion mathematical operations per second.

I'm currently trying to shame some people at work into acting on the fact that they wrote some code that should take about 1µs per call that is instead taking over 100. If you're stupid with cycles then you get to be stupid with cores too, and then you get to be stupid with locking semantics.

It's a bit hyperbolic to say that any one person's thinking is "literally" a direct threat to human survival, unless that person has his finger on the nuclear button. Some person's incoherent opinion on the internet is not literally a threat to anything.

I'm pointing this out because hyperbole and demonization do no one any good, either when trying to correct misinformation or when trying to enact policy.
Excuse me, but I think I and I alone am the principle and indeed sole authority on what I enjoy.

I drive my manuals daily in all kinds of traffic and weather. I live in NJ where neither the weather nor the traffic nor the roads are ideal. On the worst day, on the worst road, in the worst traffic, I still prefer to operate my vehicle rather than be carried by it. It's primarily a feeling of being involved and engaged in the activity.

I don't try to tell you that you must therefor also prefer that.

Are we understaning my point yet?
MRNA therapies as vaccines have been used in humans for 2 years. For terminally ill people they were used for purposes other than vaccination for ~5 years. Prior to that they caused a very high occurrence of (often deadly) problems in non-human mammals for their ~30 years of study. This is why they were only used on the terminally ill prior to COVID.

"Vaccines" which have been around for a long time and MRNA therapy for vaccination are two very different things. It's like saying "Fear of Sugar of Lead isn't rational because sugars have been around for all of human history."

In my opinion, mostly formed from personal experience in the UK the biggest issue is the extreme cultural and political centralization around South-East England. The gulf between London and the rest of the country, particularly the North of England is immense. There is incredible potential wasted in large parts of the UK.

The tone of the article itself reflects that culture, one particular government or set of policies cannot be responsible for malaise that is so generalized. I think the UK needs much more devolution of power, autonomy and less financial and political dependence between its regions.
Another legitimate meaning might be "factoring probable primes" (or "candidate primes" as they are sometimes called in key generation/cryptanalysis), or possibly "factoring semiprimes".

Both of those phrases could be referred to as "prime factorisation" in a not-entirely-accurate-but-unambiguous-in-context shorthand.

It's about having some control, rather than attaching the entire TV to the network and letting it run completely wild until it eventually "updates" to degraded functionality.
And one of the mechanisms for making robust designs is feedback (think 98% of op-amp circuits), which happens to be a favorite in biological systems.
It seems I didn't make my suggestion clear, since you seem to be arguing against a point I didn't make. I'm saying they could have, and should have, announced the shortened LTS period when they released Node 16, after having already made the decision to ship with OpenSSL 1.1.1. The support period for OpenSSL 1.1.1 was known at the time -- why did it take this long for them to notice and pull back their LTS date accordingly? It could have been known on the day of Node 16's release. The important part of LTS releases is being able to make plans around firm dates; the specific length isn't important as long as it's known up front.
Yes. We use Tekton on K8s for CI/CD, and our cluster has both arm64 and amd64 spot node pools. Each Kaniko build task runs on its native arch.
Ah, I left out a lot!

But I included enough that you could extend to some relatively deep parts!

But among what I omitted was determinants. So, I couldn't mention your points!

To me the one easy approach to determinants is to say that they give a volume, and the volume is zero if and only if there is linear dependence.
