> On the other hand, the only reason the company hired someone overseas was to save money. They would not have even considered these candidates if they weren't hugely cheaper.

Not the only reason: I have plenty of times hired people who had skills we needed and couldn't find locally. Sometimes brought those people over on H-1B, sometimes just hired them remote. And then if we had a few in the same area, opened an engineering office (though these days I am less likely to do that unless the folks really wanted it).
Rain isn't really a problem with the appropriate clothing. (Speaking as someone that rides year round for transportation in Wisconsin.) The only problem I've had is downpours can soak your shoes but I just have an extra pair of shoes at work and at home.

Possibly: 100k is probably high(er) than it used to be because of exchange rate changes too. That is 87000GBP or 100000EUR roughly! I am in Sydney Australia, pay is higher than Europe, maybe on par with London, and lower than US tech cities or those "crypto" fully remote type jobs.

Yes, per the talk Dojo is at the stage of having made first chips.

But your comment is neither here not there.

What do you think is a timeline for designing a chip like Dojo from scratch?

Tesla has been working on this for almost 7 years (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ganesh-venkataramanan-99272a3/).

They might not work fast enough for your satisfaction but can you point any other car company designing chips like Dojo?

Hell, can you point to any company at all that can come out of the gate with a chip design competitive with the best design of NVIDIA, a company that makes nothing but chips?

After 7 years of work they are clearly confident that this will work or else they would scarp the project instead of giving talks at conferences.
If employers stop getting the candidates they want with location-based offers, they will go away. Right now people may grumble, but they sign. Like OP did.

Making a Bay Area offer when you could just as well have closed the candidate with a locally competitive offer doesn't make business sense. It is exactly an expression of the company's values: that it thinks paying people the same is inherently, morally good. Which is not an uncommon set of values in tech! If you can find a company like that, more power to you. But whether it's sustainable to be paying more than necessary for some of the staff depends on the company's economic conditions. If the company ever needs to trim its sails, then reverting to location-based pay would be a natural step.
It may be a cultural thing, but it does seem to me you use prosperity and respect as interchangeable terms, while they are not.

If police guy stops a lawyer he indeed wouldn't possibly mess with him but certainly not because of respect, quite the opposite. The is russian saying which can be translated as "don't touch shit - it won't smell".

I personally don't have respect to someone just because they have 7 digits in bank account or huge villa in LA/SF. Or went to Cornell/Harvard - thanks to life experiences I've seen a lot of graduates from both institutions who were dumb af. That just doesn't make any sense.

Again, it may be a cultural thing, but respect is something achieved by someone's actions, not assets. I know few people (sadly very few) who sacrificed their wealth for a more meaningful things in life. Their assets are next to nothing, yet respect to them is tremendous.

Saying teachers are overpaid is ridiculous though. Wonder if people who say that send their kids to public schools.

Agree - eBikes solve so many problems if we could only create there infra for them. Aside from co2, which is partially offset by the emissions from materials and manufacture, the only thing EVs really have going for them is less brake dust. However even that may be offset by the additional tire wear due to their weight and which contributes more to poor air quality than ice engines do these days. EVs being heavier also means more road maintenance required.

Basically EVs are just kicking the can down the road a little bit, within the confines of our culture and infrastructure, but do not solve our structural problems.
Norway is small (1700km N->S, but a fraction of that E->W.) One can drive it's entire length in a day or two. It is barely half the size of Texas. Nor is Norway very cold. Because it is so close to the sea, temperatures rarely drop below -10c.
Sure. But it was a "stick it to the man" moment.
> It's a team that was built from grounds up because Tesla is (also) an AI company and Musk is thinking 10 years ahead.

Well, also because Tesla has an unnaturally low cost of capital because of its meme stock status.
While I agree that most custom silicon is a bit silly (and the costs dramatically underestimated), it's worth noting that most of the serious companies in the AV space have some some amount of custom silicon for ML either in the works or already in production. Waymo is using TPUs for example and Cruise has its own chips as well. It's the cool thing to do in SV lately. Doesn't help that Nvidia is such a toxic partner that the prospect of not working with them makes custom silicon seem almost reasonable.
> If I am a Jewish Doctor and a card-carrying Nazi came in, I should have the right to say "he can sit over there and I will not treat you". And if that causes him to die, that is his fault not mine.

Not exactly. I don't think medical ethics work that way in matters of life and death. For example:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/medics-told-to-treat-attackers...

Israeli medics told to treat terrorists the same as victims

"New rules from Israeli Medical Association require that the wounded be aided in order of severity of injury, even if that means helping assailants before victims"
That's not apocalypse, though. That's just the normal economic cycle.

If a company actually thought the apocalypse was coming, why would they buy back stock? The stock's going to be worthless, and so is the company. Use the cash to buy something that will be worth something in the apocalypse (food, bomb shelters, guns, maybe gold). If you actually believe the apocalypse is coming, buying corporate stock is a stupid response.

So I don't believe your claim that stock buybacks indicate that corporations know the apocalypse is coming. Rough economic times, sure. Apocalypse, no.
Are you kidding? Didn’t you even see the video? You people think that there’s all the studies out there saying it’s safe and if there aren’t any good quality studies saying it’s safe. You have no grounds to see what you did.
This is why medical malpractice is a healthy part of the system. Bad doctors become too toxic to be employable. Another check in the system. Killing children through gross negligence should be career ending. This is exactly why PAs and NPs should always be under the supervision of an attending, and why MDs can’t practice unsupervised until they have 10,000+ hours of on the job training

I don’t see how they’re going to commercialise this as a cloud compute service.

For one, they’ve built a chip that operates in a fundamentally different way to other chips. So any other company that wanted to use it would have to invest a considerable amount of resources in building up the institutional knowledge to use it effectively.

Additionally, the lack of virtual memory and multi-tasking support renders it pretty much impossible to divide up compute between multiple customers. So, commercialising this would require customers renting out the whole unit, which is contrary to how cloud computing usually works.

Are there companies out there that have the capital and use cases necessary to fit into Dojo Cloud? Maybe, though not one I’ve worked for. Would they trust the stable genius currently heading up Tesla enough to make such an investment? Perhaps, but I wouldn’t, but what do I know?

It's a bit premature to call this a failure given they are barely at a stage of making first chips and validating them.

You don't seem to understand the timelines of designing chips like that from scratch.

Dojo has been in works for almost 7 years. Tesla will continue to work on this for the next 20 years. There will be Dojo v2, Dojo v3 etc. just like at SpaceX there was Falcon 1, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy.

This still might end up a failure but they clearly feel confident enough to talk about Dojo publicly, which wasn't the case for the first 5 years of its development.
Wouldn't hybrids be an acceptable middle ground for right now then? I imagine they won't be illegal any time soon, since it'll probably be at least 2 decades before we see EV infrastructure coverage of 99% of drivers' trips, and that last 1% (think driving around Alaska) will take just as much effort to service as the first 99%

Mycelium insulation batts have been a "hope this is available soon" technology for green home builders for at least 8 years (Chris Magwood's 2014 book had hopes for it).

Looking at the F135 film feeding path, I wonder how did they deal with dust, the bane of film scanning?

Is there some active dust-off stage? The feeding channel seems all open and next to plastic, I'd guess static charge would attract dust specs.

No, that was not good at all. He’s not talking about any studies, only his theories, which only talk about non-ionizing radiation. There’s already plenty of studies that show there’s reactive oxygen species created in the skin from millimeter wave technology.

A couple of small quibbles about the optical fiber thing:

1. 17 dB/km attenuation fibers were first demonstrated 52 years ago, so better materials than precisely 50 years ago were not necessary for switching global telecom from copper over to fiber optics. That is, the materials science revolution in question wasn't "in that period", but immediately prior to it. Otherwise, everything you said is correct, as I said before.

2. Since the ARPANet started working in 01969, 53 years ago, long before the actual switchover to fiber optics, clearly wide-area packet switching wasn't dependent on fiber optics. When I first started using the internet in 01992, I was sharing a VAX with dozens of other students, all using a 64 kilobit per second frame-relay link, but the WWW was already up and running, and I used it at the time. Of course the NSFNet was running over optical fiber at the time, but if microwave waveguides had been the only available gigabit-capable communications medium, I'm confident they would have been laying microwave waveguides. Relay lines of microwave towers would also have worked.

The crucial inventions of the WWW were HTML, HTTP, and the URL; from my point of view, those are fairly independent of computer speed and even bandwidth. I mean, yes, there's a minimal viable computer for parsing HTML; but as it turns out it's a Commodore PET running Contiki. All the improvements in computing speed and memory size in the last 45 years are unnecessary for running the WWW.

You could imagine an optical-fiber-free internet where the server-centric nature of HTTP was an unacceptably heavy burden on the more limited backbone, especially with 6502-class CPUs constantly refetching pages in order to handle scrolling. Replacing HTTP with something like Usenet, BitTorrent, Freenet, Fastly, IPFS, or Kademlia is probably enough of a solution there. Maybe you wouldn't have YouTube or NetFlix, but that's why I didn't include YouTube or NetFlix in my list.
I don't think it's actually going to be illegal to sell cars with ICEs anywhere, just cars that don't have a zero-emission run mode (so plug in hybrids will still be OK even though they'd run fine without a plug-in)
I think with stats like that I would feel so confident in coding and ideas that you should then be completely comfortable now devoting all your time & effort to the most needed "business" part of the business if you really want to go into business yourself.
I've been complaining about the fundraising messaging since I was employed by Wikimedia (I left around 10 years ago). We used to have flamewars in the staff email lists about the messaging being deceiving. The reason they use the messaging is because it works, and they want to keep their fundraising timeline short, because it's also more effective when it's short.

I'd really like for them to use more honest messaging. That said, I think a lot of the general rhetoric here related to Wikimedia is off. Wikimedia actually uses its funds quite efficiently, especially in comparison to other non-profits.

They pay below market rate for salaries, primarily recruiting their staff from within the community. Like most non-profits they rely on people who are willing to take less salary because they love the cause. Also, a large percentage of their staff works fully remote, which helps keep costs down. Sadly, the poor executive pay tends to lead to absolutely mediocre leadership. I'd really like to see them increase the executive pay enough to hire qualified leaders.

They have an endowment, but the point of an endowment is to be able to continue running even if they aren't able to fundraise. They don't and can't live off of it. They do need donations, and the vast majority of their funds come from individual donations (not whales, as some here are suggesting), and primarily from small donation amounts.

The funds aren't solely to maintain the sites, but if you want them to continue existing, they can't solely spend money to maintain. They need ways to recruit new editors, and a lot of the spending being complained about here is being used to diversity the editor community, which is necessary for growth.

There also seems to be a lot of misinformation around how much it costs to maintain the sites. To maintain them, you need to pay for hosting, the hardware, and most importantly, the employees. Folks seem to be leaving out the salary costs. You also can't just consider engineers. Legal is a critical part of the organization. Also, you can't run an organization without HR, accounting, internal IT, etc. Most of the salary costs are necessary to maintain the sites.
We need to stop building massive cities in the desert and expecting that they'll have enough water. Maybe we should get on with that, instead?

And, when someone proposes that a grand "we" need to do something that will benefit them personally, that makes me a lot more skeptical. You want a water pipeline? You go build it. Don't look at me; don't even look at my tax dollars. But if you want it, feel free to get right on it.

Competence is a continuous spectrum. People in its upper reaches are disproportionately likely to have already moved to talent hubs where their earning potential is highest, or to have acquired their competence working at companies there (and put down roots). Because they are still in talent hubs & have access to those markets, you cannot get them for less than talent-hub pay.

So you either: a) write off every candidate who is still in talent hubs, b) pay way above everyone else's competing offers so that your universal salary is also competitive in talent hubs, or c) pay based on location.

The way the scanner deals with dust is by complaining that there's dust :-) (It doesn't have a special dust error, AFAIK, but it does do some checks that will end up failing if too much dust has accumulated.)

The way to avoid dust accumulation is to keep it covered when it's not being used. That works nicely and is a reasonable thing to do anyway.
Yes, being constantly surveilled by AI-enhanced telescreens when in public is so very complex and nuanced, that we need security and geopolitics experts to tell us if that's the kind of society we want to live in. A lay person is simply not educated enough to judge whether having his every move and expression logged and analyzed by some government or corporate entity is a good thing or not.

The lz4 algorithm is also tiny code-wise. Pulling in a lz4 compressor / decompressor library into my wasm project only added 11kb to the bundled size. Zstd is many times larger.

For my use case, any extra benefits of zstd are far outweighed by the extra cost of downloading zstd itself in the browser.

LZ4 is smaller, faster and much more simple.
