I think a lot of that came from the Tesla hype machine creating a strong association between electric and self-driving as being the immediate future of cars in popular consciousness, so when people saw electric becoming a reality they assumed self-driving was right around the corner when in actuality their maturity levels aren't related much at all. Fallacious thinking that may doom a few companies between Lyft, Uber, and Tesla

While unemployment is indeed quite low, the labor force participation rate is extremely low; much lower than even the aftermath of the great recession[0]. There are plenty of additional workers in the US, the catch is that they aren't willing to work a demanding job for poverty wages.

If more companies were willing to treat and pay their employees well there wouldn't be a labor shortage. Corporate profits have been shattering records for decades now, so it's not like the resources aren't there. Unfortunately, many believe it's easier and more cost effective to whine about folks being lazy and wait for the Fed to crash the economy and generate a fresh supply of desperate labor.

Incidentally, in the US, the transformation during the early to mid 20th century of the basic law degree (originally typically LLB [Bachelor of Laws]) into a postgraduate JD (Juris Doctor) with a 4-year undergraduate degree prerequisite, and the standardization of the LLB/JD program at three years (from earlier instances that were one or two years) was done by the legal profession in a failed attempt to erect barriers to entry to members of immigrant/ethnic minority communities. When I was in law school I wrote a paper for an ethics class on this topic. (Ethics BTW came to be a required class in ABA-accredited law schools in the wake of Watergate.) Outside the US I believe the basic university law degree is typically an undergraduate, bachelor-level program.

By autopilot do you mean Tesla Autopilot aka Traffic assisted cruise control or do you mean FSD?

Because there’s 0 chance they let go of the first, since that’s integral to any new car these days.
The key is in the 'congratulations' email:

> Please note that, on acceptance of this employment offer, the following equipment will be deliver to you to set up your home office, the funds for the purchase of the equipment will be made available to you prior to purchase and delivery.

They will send you a $15k check, you'll buy the equipment, and Venmo them back the remainder. Meanwhile, the check bounces.
> Tesla has bet the company on robotaxis,

How so? They're not selling robotaxis or building factories to build them

> Tesla has repeatedly promised FSD is right around the corner

Which means it's years away and/or "FSD" means "automatic cruise control and lane keep assist" or whatever standard feature from auto manufacturers they've renamed

There will be some parents who have genuinely dire situations and have bad colleagues lacking empathy. There will also be parents who will use the excuse of purported childcare to shift their workload on childless colleagues.

And as usual, the majority of cases will be somewhere in the middle with reasonable situations like some parents having genuine difficulties where their colleagues pitch in with accommodations and parents return that favor in some kind. But of course no one wants to publish that because that probably won't generate clicks.
“A serious take on a contract-based language“

Not ambitious enough. We already have dependent type systems and what I will call “property based types” since I forget the proper name e.g. https://ucsd-progsys.github.io/liquidhaskell-blog/.

The compiler
can check anything from silly out of bounds conditions to more complex assertions.

Even without that, a good type system will allow you to alias types but have a constructor do a check. Once you use the Percentage0_100 type you know that it must be in that range, and the method doesn’t need to check it again.

In think Haskell is “too much” for a lot of teams, but sprinkling in some compile time assertions and making that ergonomic with linting
and so on would be a boon on par with async/await.

“Unit test?” no need, I have a proof!
Housing prices are correcting now, at least in some areas. It's definitely happening in AZ. I've seen drops of almost 15%.

OpenDoor has been taking a loss on a lot of properties it bought over the past few months too.

Considering inventory is up over 2X YOY as well, I expect prices to fall even further here. I'm not sure if it'll get as bad as 08 though, but a 30-40% drop isn't out of the question the way things are headed imo.

The thing is though with rates as high as they are, housing prices dropping this much actually doesn't make affordability any better unless you can pay in cash.
Peers don't need to have channels open to each other to exchange satoshis.

As long you have some channels open and I have some channels open, the network will route my payment to you.

As sender, I am responsible for any potential routing fees. You as the payee are not.

If we were to transact with each other often, it could be worth opening a dedicated channel to enhance privacy and avoid routing fees.
Initially I expected they'd pretend to hire the person to use services for free.

It could last about 45 days. After the first missed paycheck, they could drag 2 more weeks on "bank transfer issues".

Depending on the person, even 60 days...

They could potentially get 2 months of senior video editing free of charge. Sell this on Fiverr and make more money they were asking the candidates.
They can pivot to selling an auto-autopilot; an AI-based process run totally within the car, which will autonomously work on the code for autopilot for the next 5 years. (/s).
As an owner for 5+ years, the cars show well but pretty quickly become a pain in the ass.

They'll get eclipsed by other electric car manufacturers real quick.

Edit: more specifically, the parts break and they are difficult to replace. The battery degrades. They stopped providing maps to the vehicle unless I'm willing to spend several hundred dollars to replace the media console, they've told me I'm covered by a recall/warranty but have been unable to schedule the appointment.
Read Peter Zeihan, who very much agrees that it's the end of an era. In his view, globalization is coming to an end, and the supply chain issues we're seeing now are just a hint of what's coming for the rest of the decade.

He's not optimistic about China's prospects, though.

I think this is less about growth factor and more about "killer app". The killer application of Google is that it actually finds what you are searching for really well (well, it did). That's what set Google apart from other search engines. The killer feature of crypto is...?

DAOs, NFTs, smart contracts, random tokens all seem less like good features and more like transparent scams or terrible ideas that don't work. It's fine if adoption is slow - but there should actually be something beyond Ponzi schemers and hackers stealing from each other. Drugs and tax evasion, sure, but how far does that take you?
My guess would be it's a combination of:

1. Many good eng's might not have the skills to fundraise/run the business side, and with them more often having friends that are also eng's maybe there's less likely to be a match to have a business counterpart. That coupled with missing domain knowledge means that some eng's jump to take those jobs. However I have heard from a successful founder that the early engineers that are good are very hard to attract.

2. Loss aversion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_aversion; people more often seek to avoid downside rather than pursue upside.
If I set up a telescope to look inside your window most people would call that an invasion of privacy, even if the telescope was set up on public property. Having a high resolution digital camera where images can be zoomed and a very sensitive microphone that can pick up conversations is similar, in my opinion.
interesting, i have the opposite experience. When we got to high throughput in a cluster we had all sorts of crashes, partitions, and nasty failure modes that required stressful delicate rebuilds. It has similar challenges to a clustered M-M relational db. Moved the high volume events to kinesis which was far more reliable for that use case.

At low volumes yeah sure, it just ticks along, and does what you want.
I'm pretty certain that all these "kids these days don't know what chips are made from" news from BBC and the likes is just survey trolling aka "mischievous responders".

Mobx works fairly well like this and in our case we use it for the UI where it works well. At the centre you have your pure data and then a bunch of transformations on the way out to your interface (eg, you have a list of all cars, but you have a computed function of all cars available for sale sorted by price). Then at the top, only stuff that’s actually currently used for rendering needs to be computed at keep hot.
This is common problem in nearly all intermediary business models from real estate agents, stock brokers (now nearly obsolete), recruiters to freight brokers...

On top of that, this might signal that Tesla is confident enough in their autolabeling that they no longer need as much human intervention. This job title theoretically should be temporary.

It was exaggeration as a figure of speech to suggest that if self-driving is solved, it will make the EV business look incredibly small.

What's shocking is how many people interpreted it literally--that the value is literally zero without self-driving--as if the successful EV business is in fact unsuccessful.
The cars are real but they are... Mediocre. The first year of ownership is an amazing honeymoon period, assuming you got one with decent build quality. But the parts are cheap, and they break quickly. I've had one for 5+ years and it's gradually become something I prefer driving less and less.
That line indicated to me that this was probably written during the height of the pandemic, not more recently.
They're laying off people how label data. This isn't the devs that actually work on the software.

The simple answer is simply because of the physics of the scope, the support arms cause diffraction spikes. The hubble has them too but is a smaller mirror and different support arrangement. Super common on consumer scopes such as RCs, Newts and big tube scopes that aren't RASAs
Ask HN: Is there a reason Micosoft servers would access my account via IMAP?
I have a Microsoft Live account created for my kids to play Minecraft. Yesterday I got a strange security warning telling me that someone tried to log into it and the account was locked.

I managed to unlock it via 2FA, and looked at the log they made available. It reported a "strange" login from the USA (I'm from Europe) and the IP address which I looked up via WHOIS and it appears to be an internal IP of Microsoft itself.

The access type was IMAP. Is it possible that it was just MS servers moving stuff around? Do they really have to authenticate as users? Is this a common thing?

I was presented with options to select if that was me or not. I selected not, hopefully it doesn't mess up anything.
I remain convinced that "real" self driving (as in: go ahead and sleep in the backseat) will never happen without changes to road infrastructure and possibly some sort of segregation between robot-driven cars and people-driven cars.

Things like traffic signals that actively communicate their status to nearby robot cars (more than just a red lamp that can be occluded by weather, other vehicles, or mud on the camera lens). Or lane markings that are more than just reflective paint, but can be sensed via RF. Rules around temporary construction that dictate the manner of signage and cone placement that the robot cars can understand. The cones might have little transponders in them, I don't know.

But without a massive leap forward in AI capability, our current road system—optimized for human drivers over the past century—is not going to work.

If we can't make the cars just as smart as an alert and capable driver, then maybe we need to meet halfway and make the roads a littler "dumber" (simpler) to accommodate the robots.
> Replace as needed

So here's the thing- I do exactly the same thing. Buy cheap classes. Use a kitchen paper towel or whatever is handy to clean them. But I have never had to replace a pair because of damage.

Every few years, my prescription changes enough to warrant replacement, and then I go and order another set of glasses from Zenni, and they always last until the next time, no matter how badly I treat them.

Are you getting screwed over for how much liability your state requires you to carry? The insurance on my $0 value dodge neon in 2012 AFTER a fender bender was $400 a year, because it was on my mom's plan, and had $0 of coverage for my car and only the minimum liability required by the state (which is a reasonable amount).

All of my high school friends have the same experience as I do, a car with near zero value, and no collision coverage, just liability, and paid similarly dirt cheap rates. My friend had coverage on his old dodge van for $120 a year.

My car insurance on my nearly new car is actually double the price, despite me now being significantly older than 18, because I pay for coverage so I could repair it if it gets in an accident.

Consider switching insurances?
Can you tell at a glance which asset had a better return since the start date until March of 2009? A plot of total ROI (with all assets starting at y = 0) would make that obvious (for any given end date).

As far as I can tell, the different intercepts just add noise (price of a single stock) that is not helpful to visualize what the plot is supposed to be showing (total returns).

It would likely be quite easy if you could compare them back to back, as in swapping from one to the other and playing a controlled source with a hi-fidelity amp and good headphones. The analog side of digital-analog conversion is an art unto itself and I've found a lot of variance between DACs, even though I'm neither a sound engineer nor an audiophile. If you are just playing a 64k AAC file on your EarPods, probably not.

I’m somewhat convinced that the “difference” between OLAP and “data warehouses” is shady advertising.

Structurally they’re really similar, I suspect some vendors couldn’t match the outright performance of existing OLAP db’s, so added extra features to differentiate it enough to justify a new product category, and then talk endlessly about how OLAP databases aren’t capable of handling this brave new future; even though for the majority of workloads, people would be better off just going with a “boring” OLAP database.

Because they chose to back themselves into that corner. Musk says that Tesla is worth nothing without full self-driving. Certainly it's the only thing left to justify the stock price:

Well, more precisely it means Musk has been lying about it for nine years straight:

https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-promises-full-self-driving-ne...

The lies have been profitable so far. People have bought into the false promises. Perhaps they'll start demanding refunds for the full self-driving they paid for that has still not been delivered.

> Try to find the current number of running tasks being managed by tokio…

As a heavy user of async Rust in production (at a couple places), resource leaks / lack of visibility into that has been a top issue.

In this area, tokio-console[1] is an exciting development. I have high hopes for it and adjacent tools in the future. (Instrumenting your app with tracing+opentelemetry stuff can help a lot, too).

Until those become featureful/mainstream enough, Go has the upper hand in terms of "figuring out what's going on in an async program at any given time".

That's a great question. I don't know.
I probably wrote my best "software" in VB too, i.e., stuff that hung together well enough for others to use over a long time period. One of my programs is still used daily in the factory, with virtually zero failures in 14 years.

What happened was that I lost interest in creating that kind of thing. And the business decided that such programs have to go through a formal approval and release process, so it left me with no advantage over letting the software department maintain that stuff at considerably greater expense. Today, I'm willing to burden my users with stuff that requires a bit more care and feeding on their part, such as plain Python scripts. Also, VB turned into VB-dot-net.

I'm equally creative in C, but on the embedded side. Something about working within severe limitations. I'm reminded of a quote from Richard Feynman: “The game I play is a very interesting one, it’s imagination in a tight straitjacket.”
