> Why do you believe that Tesla is behind?

Because Cruise does not need a back-up human driver present. Tesla seems far behind because as this story indicates, a human needs to be paying close attention when Tesla is in charge.

Overall, Cruise/Waymo appear to have the better approach. I would rather start with a system that works and is reliable and expand its capabilities, than start with a system that barely works and hack it till it works. Especially when human lives are endangered by the tech.
>The story is a commentary on how wonderful the people living in small towns are.

I don't think so, but I see how you got there.

I think it is a story about empathy for others in a crisis, and the author argues that this is universal in America--including New York, Chicago, Mobile, Detroit, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Houston, Seattle, Indianapolis, Honolulu, and Charlotte.
I wear a watch that explicitly showcases the movement.

I have a smartphone and I think smartwatches look ugly.

That is just me though and if you like em, power to you.

Convivial technology consists of tools to eat and drink: knives, chopsticks, crustacean access instruments, sporks, sushi conveyor belt systems...

> I’m assuming the reference was to Roe v. Wade, but would like to hear more.

Republicans ran in elections on "stack the supreme court with people who will enact our values".

Republicans ran in elections on "our values are ban abortions".

Republicans win election.

Republicans winning an election, stacking the court with their people, having them do exactly what they promised to do and enacting their campaign promises is democracy in action, not the suspension of democracy.

If you dont want it, everyone needs to vote for what they do want.
To awsrocks, im in the same situation. still sweating it out tbh.
Rocket science isn't hard if you know it. Should we all build spaceships to deliver groceries? Good luck finding a few local rocket scientists in a pinch.

You can find plenty of auto mechanics though. Cars are cheaper and ubiquitous. Maybe they can't drive to the moon, but they can get most things done.

Unless your business is flying to the moon, stick to cars and trucks over spaceships.
In FE dev your primary business is building a competitive user experience in the browser, and browser and related techs are constantly changing to enable better ones.

In BE dev, unless you are working at scale, your primary business is to code business logic which also changes but doesnt require much tech churn.
Pretty sure "local news-ness" and ownership are separate qualities.
We’re allowed to have knowledge outside of the specific thing being discussed in an article.

Also, if two local newspapers close every week, then where else will people turn if not to their local Sinclair station?
TLDR build an audience on Medium then migrate to Ghost because Medium "kills writers and publications earning potential" while Ghost allows you to bombard your audience with ads and dubious sponsored content.

Don't forget to write a whiny post about it when you're done.
I thought this might be an exaggeration, but... wow, just... wow.

IMO the NPCC should sue Pervade and take them to the cleaners. Pervade are clearly incapable of developing a secure system, and have completely misrepresented their abilities. They also appear to have blatantly lied to the NPCC numerous times.
Cruise and Waymo have lidar. Lidar can give you much more certainty about detecting objects and distances. Teslas only use cameras and have to do complex image analysis to detect objects.

On the other hand lidar is more expensive. But it is getting cheaper and it does seem like it might be necessary for actual self driving.
This is something I'm excited about, as I have the time & interest.

One concern I have though, is coming up with an idea I'm passionate about enough to run with.

Where are these business ideas found? A Ubiquiti host is great one, for example.
Do you really target the Java 1.4 JVM?
Please don’t do this. I’m dealing with the mess caused by following this line of thinking.

One guy (okay it was two guys) set up all the infrastructure and as soon as it was working bounced to new jobs with their newfound experience. The result is that dozens of engineers have no idea what the heck is going on and are lost navigating the numerous repos that hold various information related to deploying your feature.

In my opinion (and I’m sure my opinion has flaws!), unless you have global customers and your actual users are pushing 1k requests per second load on your application servers/services, there is no reason to have these levels of abstractions. However once this becomes reality I think everyone working on that responsibility needs to learn k8s and whatever else. Otherwise you are screwed once the dude who set this up left for another job.

And honestly.. I’ve built software using node for the application services and managed Postgres/cache instances with basic replication to handle heavy traffic (10-20k rps) within 100ms. It requires heavy use of YAGNI and a bit of creativity tho which engineers seem to hate because they may not get to use the latest and shiniest tech. Totally understand but if you want money printer to go brrr you need to use the right tool for the job at the right time.
I’ll explain my downvote; the tech community has been affected by challenges similar to those discussed in the article.

Words that were considered standards for decades are within the last few years no longer acceptable.

The changing definitions (or at least acceptability) of words, have, among other things, resulted in expensive refactors of code and documentation, and at times even bugs.

As a particular examples, consider Whitelist/Blacklist being changed to Denylist/Allowlist, or Master/Slave to Primary/Secondary.
Is it txtai?
Yes for someone like yourself who is comfortable with a computer from 2003-2022.

The challenge is that Linux isn't a singular product its a source compatible ecosystem of parts. There has always existed a collection of excellent parts one could use to make an excellent experience. However as a user you probably don't want to build your own distro so you are going to be relying on someone else's collection and projects come and go and differ substantially in quality both between projects and over time.

For instance Ubuntu has basically from my perspective gone to hell.

Smartphones vs. cameras: closing the gap on image quality
In the US the best option (although expensive) is products from Fasten Master. For ledger bolts, their LedgerLok product is far superior to the alternatives and their TimberLok product is a /structural/ wood screw.

My family is in construction and I called my dad up after snapping the heads off too many torx drive deck screws and he suggested these. I’ve /NEVER/ broken one and I exclusively use a 20V impact driver on max when driving fasteners.

GRK is my preferred second choice and I find it better than Grip-Rite, DeckMate, or Spax. Another thing is that construction screws are usually more durable than deck screws, anymore, as deck screws are generally ceramic now to prevent corrosion but weaker shaft strength.

All of these brands are available at any home store in the US pretty much.
As someone who fell off their bike rather hard in my case it was a 9 year old boy that found me and he really made my day in how he responded and organized help.
In my city, the local chamber of commerce put together a plan for a nonprofit local news website, something that is truly needed for the reasons cited in TFA. However, while the virtual masthead proclaims "Independent. Accurate. Unbiased." the board of directors is made up mostly of wealthy property developers and people connected with the local real estate industry. There's no way they won't put their thumbs on the scale when it comes to vetting the chief editor, providing coverage of community meetings around development, and endorsing candidates for mayor and city council.
Games are usually categorised as leisure software, not consumer software. Different market sector.

For example, in the UK and Europe, game developers were represented by ELSPA (the European Leisure Software Publishing Association) which specifically did not represent non-game publishers. It was ELSPA that forbade the release of non-demo products (i.e. full games) as computer magazine 'coverdisks.

Full versions of consumer software could still be distributed as their publishers weren't part of ELSPA.
The problem is, many of our generation can't afford to pay for local news that we barely have the time and the mental energy to consume after working 10 or more hours and then commuting. No, cutting our Netflix and switching it to some local paper won't work either, because we don't need to engage our brains with some random Netflix stuff.

In contrast, pensioners have more than enough free time to read the news and vote - as evidenced by just about every voter turnout statistic.

Want to fix politics? Make it possible for young people to actually engage with democracy again.
I have an old Apple Watch (Series 4) that I just wear to the gym to keep an eye on my heart rate. Other than that if I wear a watch it's generally a mechanical watch that just tells the time. For weekends/vacation I have one with a single hand on a 24 hour dial, so I know roughly what time it is, but without worrying about the details.

Although I have noticed that as technology pushes its way into more areas of life, I'm becoming more of a luddite. Not everything needs to be "smart" or "connected". My toaster doesn't need Bluetooth, my grill doesn't need an app. The whole idea of making these things "smart" takes what would be a product that could last for decades, and makes it one that can become obsolete in just a few years. With all the talk about climate change and reducing our impact, this is the wrong direction to go.
When in hospital bring EVERYthing you'd bring on a trip + more. Due to lockdowns I was unable to get an Advil without being admitted to the hospital - which would separate me from the maternity ward. Refillable water bottle above all else.

The first 6-15 months are truly hell. Doctors call the first 3 months 'the third trimester,' which is apt because that baby could not be more livid about being pulled out of the womb. Go watch the Gitmo scenes in The Card Counter if you want an idea (mostly joking about that but it truly sucks).

But everything improves by .05% every day from day one and eventually (around 12 months for us) you look around and realize that you've entered the greatest time of your life.

But those first months suck.

My daughter was a little younger than that when we bought a pile of dead DVD drives and disassembled them. Then we build a little driver circuit and hooked a laser diode to it. She was so excited to come home and take those drives apart after school. She learned about how things come apart, the importance of eye protection, how to use basic hand tools, and a little bit about electronics (I am self-taught and my knowledge is super uneven so I'm not the best teacher for that).
Even there, it looks like Samsung is on track to beat TSMC to mass production of 3nm chips: https://www.reuters.com/technology/samsung-elec-starts-3-nan...
It's the same in the UK, by and large. We have a small group of <strikeout>advertisement sellers</strikeout> news media companies that absorb local papers and churn out overly-similar content with different newspaper names on the front page. The online versions of these are sooooo bad - practically no actual written content with any depth, interspersed with video "articles" which incorporate more ads. Then try and find the actual news in among the clickbait links. Want better access? "Simply register and answer some suspiciously personal questions"...

I tried to do some research recently: could I consult their archives? "Nothing older than a couple of years", so no. Photographers? "If you have photos or videos please upload them to us". Timely coverage of local issues? "You won't believe what British Seniors aged 55-plus are buying today!!"

As far as I'm concerned they can crash and burn, and maybe groups of like-minded citizens can resurrect real local newspapers, albeit online only.
This is hardly news-worthy.
There was also plotinus (https://github.com/p-e-w/plotinus) for a sort-of-similar thing. I think it still works, but I use too few gui applications to bother.

little do they tell you about the product-market fit lottery and how hard it is to win a bagger. i worked on one saas for years that yielded nothing. i worked on another that took literally a few weeks to make and somehow its gaining traction.

I read your post again, that makes sense!
I’m sure other people use FSD as a bad chauffeur, but around town I use it when I’m willing to be extra alert and train it. There is a button I press when the car has messed up and the surrounding data gets sent back to the Tesla mothership as a defect.

If I’m not willing to be in vigilance mode I just drive myself.
In case it was not clear: connecting a mobile phone to a computer and using it as a usb storage devices is simply not possible, doubly so if you are looking for platform independence (windows/Mac/Linux). At the very least you will have to use external specialized apps, or jailbreak your device, or a combination of both, if it's at all possible.

This was a basic feature that all phones used to have. It was quietly removed, I suspect in an effort to push users towards iTunes/Google Play Music, both of which are dead now.
Yup. The simplicity of the system, combined with the fact that the method of calculating the score is publicly available, means that it encourages drivers (in some circumstances) to drive less safely. It also doesn't include rapid acceleration or speeding despite those being pretty good predictors of purposeful unsafe driving, probably because those are part of the reason you buy a Tesla in the first place.

Beyond that, the way it is calculated makes it less of a safety score and more of a risk score; it can't distinguish between a person driving effectively in a risky environment (safe) and a person creating a risky environment (unsafe). Some portion of the testers are then people who actively avoid safe defensive driving techniques in risky environments to maintain their safety score. That type of person is the absolute last person you want testing an autonomous system.

This video is a great overview of FSD beta safety, I've linked to the section specifically about the safety score: https://youtu.be/sHyOL_vDQMQ?t=801
To push back a bit, JavaScript the language hasn't really changed all that much in the last few years...

Yes there are lots of libraries and frameworks but as a language, everything feels quite steady. With each ES version, perhaps there are one or two new helpful methods but nothing massive.

New tools and frameworks are good, it pushes existing libraries and projects to stay current and shows continued innovation, but as lots of other people have said, you could be using the same stack from 5 years ago today and all the pieces to it would still be totally recognizable.

If you're doing web apps, I'd expect React, Redux, and React Router. Maybe you're still killing it with full on client side SPAs, or maybe there's some server side rendering and data fetching.

But the language is very stable and the main libraries and tools are as well. Just cause there's new stuff doesn't mean you have to use it.
They're almost the standard in New Zealand. I've also seen pozisquare screws around, which can be driven with both pozi and square bits.
I don’t go to the doctor often, but after having a kid, WOW you will get wildly different “best practices” from different doctors. Try to not over index on one physician’s advice.
> IIRC GitLab uses Redis as well

GitLab employee here.

You're correct. We also have Redis for a few things: Rails caching, Sidekiq jobs, session data, CI, and a few other things. You can learn more about GitLab.com's infrastructure architecture here [1] and more about what Redis is used for here [2].

even after so many examples it baffles me how people keep falling for this. people just refuse to think about the cashflows.

no its not a high risk investment. no actual business goes to these crypto firms asking them for a such a ridiculous loan. so where does the money come from then? a steady stream of investment from idiots of course. they pay the early investors using the later depositors money. eventually you run out of fools and then this happens

there's a lot more in a youtube channel that was posted here a while back, the entire channel was dedicated to catching autopilot's mistakes.

I used to wear a handwound mechanical watch for the most of '80s and '90s and quartz watches in the '00s. Never liked smartwatches. Stopped wearing watches the past 8 years or so.

The smartphone killed the watch for me although if I should ever wear one again, it would be a regular quartz/mechanical watch.
You want a machine-readable dataset rather than a website, and the aggregator has already done some of the work for you.

Oh man, Kube-ssh could save me a lot of headaches.
OP was referring to the safety of the feature, you're referring to the safety of the driver who was experimenting with it.
Well I guess it all depends on your setup.

Servers get have a tentacle which has an environment and tag. So you could say a server is test environment and tagged with main-web-app. While another server is production with the same tag. You promote a package from test to production. You configure your setup to say a package is deployed to a server tagged main-web-app.

Octopus is an orchestration tool so isn’t responsible for scaling up. But in AWS with an autoscale group you can configure Octopus to auto detect a new server tag it and deploy. Part of the deployment would add it to the load balancer.

As a side note you can deploy containers using octopus too. Tho I’ve never found a reason to use containers in production yet.
There are no borders in any commons by definition; that's exactly the tragedy of commons.
Ya it was a thing before when labor costs were cheaper. Will
It remain a thing now? We still get delivery, some Chinese places don’t even bother with a dining room, but the costs keep increasing such that I don’t see it lasting for much longer.
The "edge" didn't really exist at the time, along with concepts like cloud, serverless. I seem to remember that even CDN was an evolving architecture idea at the time.

AWS et al had not yet turned web servers into a commodity, so it wasn't feasible to "just deploy the software to multiple regions" to improve latency.
Your OSS attitude is so nineties ( when people actually built things who did not break every other year). Their idea of SW is a Titanic with some handles on the side instead of boats.
> I think it is clear that he is not making that claim?

This is the second last line of the piece, where the author explicitly makes that claim:

>> Although we rarely hear about such acts of compassion and lovingkindness within our society, believe me, they happen. Every day. Every hour. Ordinary Americans will astound you with their goodwill. Sadly, ordinary American journalists aren’t interested in being astounded by such things.

Maybe that's not what they're trying to get across—if not, I'd like to hear what you think it is—but I like how you jump to "acting in bad faith".

The biggest benefit I see is lack of side-effects. With a functional program you can be sure that your can safely call any function without having to worry about the current state of your app.

A proper functional program can start to do very cool things safely: like hot reloading of code. When I'm debugging a Clojurescript app I can have a live running game, and update the physics without even reloading the page. It's all live.

A proper functional program really looks like a series of mappings from a collection of data sources to a collection of data sinks.

The keyword for this is referential transparency: https://www.braveclojure.com/functional-programming/

There are other benefits like composability, designing your programs this way will give you access to algorithms that works otherwise not work with your code. The simplest example is Map, Filter, and Reduce. These functions are by their very nature parallel because a compiler knows that there are no intermediate steps, unlike a for loop.
Based on your description it appears you attempted to deploy "ipv4 with longer addresses" and got frustrated that this is not at all what ipv6 is. If you were to attempt honestly to deploy the actual ipv6 stack that exists, though not perfect, it would be a better experience.
Administrative law is a farce and clear violation of the intent expressed in the Constitution. When more laws are entering the books through the executive and judiciary than through the legislature, you've got a problem.

Congress sets executive agency scope. Not executive branch employees or judges out of force of habit.

If they want increased scope, best ask the People if that's alright, and get the People leaning on their legislators.
