If they are spending this much money on the data center chip, they probably will port the assembly language over to an ASIC inference chip for their cars.

I honestly can't see how they make (or save) enough money with just the data center chip here.

Maybe if the inference chip is on a cheaper 12nm process or something... Maybe?
One major difference is that in some countries (many EU countries) payroll taxes are much higher than in the US, where most income taxes are paid by the individual. So while your quoted salary is lower, the cost to company difference is less stark - your country just makes you pay higher taxes.

Another difference is that tech companies are expanding into countries like yours precisely because it's cheaper to hire people. Not to be an asshole but you see this in the types of projects that cheaper countries get in large multinational tech companies compared to the major hubs too - less direct product work, more things like internal software, tooling, data/devops pipelines, etc.
> I don’t work for less as an American Expat, I work for how much I’m worth (which is a lot more than local wages) and I live where I live because the money let’s my wife stay at home, in a nice house in a nice neighborhood instead of us both working our asses off just to have a decent house in a shitty neighborhood.

That is reasonable. But if you want to work on a schedule that is not the same as a US dev, then you are worth somewhat less to me. E.g. South America would be fine, India not so much.

> And what are you going to do if that dev moves to the US while working for you (such as on a partner visa)?

When we have devs come to the US on a visa, they are actually switching jobs to a US role. They don't come here unless we have an opening. Then they are able to compete as any other US candidate. It does happen periodically, but not too often.
I think most of these questions are basically asking the same thing: how bureaucratic is this organisation? Which is not something you can ask directly, so these proxy questions are a good idea.

For example, I laugh at the crap my SO has to go through at their (larger) employer for simple things. The "fixing a typo in a log file" question is especially apt: it's essentially impossible for my SO because they're only supposed to work with the software as provided, despite being programmers themselves (they do scripting to add functionality to the software using a custom language, to adapt to customer's needs). My SO would have to answer something involving navigating multiple levels of management in another country. For my own employer, I would answer "the process is git clone, git commit, git push. You can ask someone for feedback on your typo fix if you want I guess?" I'd never think of asking such a simple but effective question.

But then there is "Does this team or any of the related teams have a person who actively rejects proposals to improve the code base?" Huh? What do you expect anyone to answer to this, "oh yes we have Steve, he's a real asshole and continuously rejects the best of ideas for no apparent reason"? The author even lists it as "Out of all the questions in this list, this one is the most crucial." I can understand that the author had a bad experience having to work with someone like that, but the odds of getting a real answer here are negligible, especially compared to the odds of the interviewer thinking worse of you for asking to throw someone under the bus before you're even hired. Would not recommend asking this 'most crucial' of questions.
Sounds like it’s designed to crunch data in a data center to do training for models that could be shipped to the cars.
Releasing private information about millions of Americans or Chinese is likely going to get you into trouble no matter where in the world you are. Maybe they'd avoid hacking charges, if caught they'd face civil charges at least.
What happens when the information gets onto the internet and proliferates though? Then it's too late and humanity is screwed.

National Security is an incredibly complex, nuanced debate.

You should always take articles written by "an amateur woodworker and struggling shade tree mechanic. There's nothing he can't take apart, but many things he can't reassemble".

If Russia attacks your country or a terrorist blows a building, no one and no one blames "amateur woodworker and struggling shade tree mechanic" about intelligence failures.

But, we find this increasingly acceptable to push articles written by people who have absolutely no clue about anything (technology, security, geopolitics, threats, intelligence), just because the headline "hurr durr, Google/Amazon/Uber/Meta/...is evil"
Tesla has already designed and manufactures an FSD chip that runs nn inference in the car.

This is a chip designed to accelerate nn training in their datacenter.

The effort and expense makes perfect sense if you consider:

- the costs are spread over millions of car (3 millions, today, tens of millions in the future)

- it helps them win robotaxi market that is potentially so lucrative that the cost of developing custom chips will be peanuts
I don't trust them (AgainstTheWest, not Troy Hunt) either — and frankly I'm surprised to see that they're still active.

Earlier this year they claimed to have discovered an NGINX 0-day RCE and tested it against a Canadian bank. Not only was it a big nothing-burger, but they ended up purging their Telegram channel aftwards with claims of infighting (screenshots for posterity: https://imgur.com/a/5AThvTv).

Give me a decent un-networked EV and I’ll buy it immediately. Until then I’ll keep my ICE vehicle. Which will probably be until they’re eventually banned, because I don’t think a decent un-networked EV is ever going to exist.
So if they quit, are you saying the company to refuse to hire a replacement from the US/EU due to some purely budget related limit? That is definitely not my experience working with a few remote first companies. They will try to find a suitable replacement in the relatively short period that is recruitment (1-3 months, depending on seniority). The cost difference for one employee is usually not big enough to worry about in the larger scheme of things.

The opportunity cost of not having that senior dev on board for more than 3 months is damaging for rest of the team and company goals/time lines. In the current market, my guess is that this person would be replaced with someone NOT in that location unless for some reason it is business critical to have someone in that area, which is almost never for software developers.
The only logical choice. Some people particularly in the Midwest and South won’t switch until they absolutely have to, TCO be damned.
Market penetration for home heat pumps here in Japan is very high, I’ve never seen an apartment that doesn’t have one in the last several years. As an American I was pretty surprised that the heating mode on my AC’s worked! https://heatpumpingtechnologies.org/market-report-japan/
Hey [0] built a very successful email business in only a couple of years with no deliverability issues. There are hundreds of thousands of happy Hey users who continue to pay for email.

Do you just get email with that? Or maybe is there an office suite also?
I had this same thought the other day and then I realized how bad this really sounds: A person with lots of money buying a piece of another person to make more money.

Yeah, let that sink in for a minute… I don’t think that passes the smell test.
Behaviors shouldn't be exact copies, but amalgamations of behaviors, much like art generated with diffusion models or text generated with GPT-3. That's copying with some ability to generalize and be creative.

It should be able to learn the causality, in the same way as GPT-3 is able to predict words in the correct order: "I pressed the brake pedal, and the car stopped."

Amazon is honestly terrible as a storefront. I see errors all the time that should easily be automatically detected and fixed, and there’s also no way to report an incorrect listing.
Dojo is rumored 7nm to boot. They'll be competing with a process node disadvantage. TSMC is down to 3nm and 5nm already.

AMD chips like MI250x are 5nm with tensor matrix multiplication units. NVidia Hopper will be like 4nm IIRC?
Google has the leverage to fix this if they wanted to.

Samsung is also leaving a competitive advantage on the table by not doing this with Exynos.

And the planned obsolescence is pointless. Even if you could run the latest Linux kernel on a phone you bought ten years ago, a phone from that year might have a 3G radio and less than a GB of memory. Which can still make phone calls, or be used in place of a Raspberry Pi, but it's hardly competition for anything currently commanding significant margins.
Standard of living is great and all, but I'd trade a big chunk of it away for a modicum less alienation. Just a scrap of de-alienation is all. Yes, I'm begging.
It's not about saving money.

It's about accelerating nn training and winning robotaxi market, which could make them the most profitable company ever.
Pretty much every combination of laptop and thunderbolt dock I've tried in the last 6 years has been a mediocre, buggy experience. I've personally tried 4 docks across 3 different laptops.

I got a 2nd work laptop just so that one can sit permanently docked, never unplugged or power cycled. Every once in a while I have to get docker running on it, which is also a miserable experience, but that's not related to thunderbolt!
I've found that strict write-the-tests-first TDD doesn't work for me for most problems. The exception is things like "parse specific components out of this string" - really straight-forward this input should result in this output code, where sometimes I'll write the tests first.

What DOES work for me is having a rule that any implementation should be accompanied by tests that prove the implementation works, bundled in the same commit.

I've been doing this habitually for a few years now and it has had a dramatic positive impact on my productivity.

I wrote a bit about how I do this here: https://simonwillison.net/2020/Feb/11/cheating-at-unit-tests...

Due diligence and personal responsibility for what is likely your most important computing device, instead of contracting that out to firms who would stab their grandmother to improve their quarterly numbers.
this is very much a personal opinion thing but I'd prefer not to have the monitor itself be the dock. I like the idea of having single-cable to the dock and then having the dock split out displayport, 10gbe networking, etc. I thought about it, I tried the Acer X34GS, it just isn't there yet.

The monitors with USB-C charging that I've seen (eg X34GS) have really bad coil whine if you use them for charging... which is sort of like the main point here. and beyond that, it's only 89W, what happens if you want a 140W charger? what happens if you want 10gbe and the monitor doesn't have that? what happens if the thunderbolt part of the monitor is poorly implemented or has problems? thunderbolt is known for being finicky and do you want to trust monitor companies to get it right, when they can't even make a monitor that doesn't coil whine while charging?

and on the flip side... what if you want to upgrade your monitor, or it fails/breaks? or what if you want to upgrade to something better? the monitors with a good dock implementation won't necessarily be exactly what you want, and it certainly will be expensive compared to picking a dock+monitor separately.

it's very attractive in a sterile product-designer sense to have the dock built into the monitor, but dock+monitor is nearly as clean and gives you a LOT more flexibility and reliability in a practical sense. If anything I'd go the other direction and have the monitor powered off a usb-c from the dock lol.

as far as general cleanliness, one of these years I'm gonna cut a hole in my wall and drop some cables to the basement with TB3 or DP 1.4 active fiber cables (not electrical cable so fire code ignores it) and use a TB4 dock as a header for my desktop in the basement, so it will be super clean. You can even run power cables in the walls (technically you probably need this to be speaker wire to get CL2 fire rating) and eliminate all cables except for a couple running to the dock/monitor through the walls. Get a monitor arm for your desk and you can lift everything up and clean it all, etc. Would be super nice, I'm tired of cables everywhere and my desktop dumping heat in my office.

(don't do wallmount arms though... tried that and didn't have very good results because the monitor arm really works best going straight forward and doesn't give you a lot of motion laterally. With a desk-mount arm you can put it where it needs to be, with a wall arm you have to put it on a stud and you can't really move it laterally very much, so if the stud isn't exactly where you want it, you almost have to move the desk to fit the mount, didn't work well.)
Indeed it does. At a previous job we used to get rid of the convention. I've since thrown in the towel and said "meh"

If you switch to a job where you make $18K-$50K/yr, maybe part time, you can get subsidized health insurance in the US through Obamacare/ACA/healthcare.gov. If you are on the lower end it will not cost much and could even be free with low deductibles and/or copays.
This is amazing

When it will be cheaper, they'll all switch. Price is usually the best argument.

Your company is not your buddy. All these talks about cost of living adjustment is nothing but beautiful horse shit to sugarcoat the truth (below).

You’re essentially a tool they try to buy as cheap as possible.

Your job is to sell yourself as high as you can.

The good news is that both you and your company have freedom to choose and compete with other entities.

So the only way for you to fix motivation is not talking it through, but rather to learn winning in this free market game.
Desi attitudes on the British are fragmented. My parents were technically born in the Dominion of Pakistan, and her older siblings remember the Empire. My mom and her sisters have quite a positive view—if you were a young woman hoping to get an education and a career British influence in the country probably held some appeal.

My dad has what I had thought was a fairly negative view, but less so than most Americans I have met.

Teaching me how to read from an early age. When I was for, I asked my mom to teach me how to read and by the age of five I was already reading.

I have not been formally educated in many things that I know nowadays (the english language is one of them, albeit far from perfect), but knowing how to read from an early age helped me enjoying the activity and knowing how to find information independently.
It's sad how green energy has become part of the culture wars, especially given many of the states most impacted by climate change (Florida, Texas) could benefit the most. They also have vast possibilities in green power.
> Even weak indoor light would eventually charge it.

No, it wouldn't. Sunlight is ~1 kW per m^2. A medium-sized room has maybe a couple 60 watt bulbs, spread over 10+ m^2, each of which radiates ~10 watts of actual light.

Light indoors is pretty easily 1000x less than outdoors. Eyes work exceptionally well in low light conditions, so we don't even realize the enormous difference in brightness.

For those of you that have migrated to 5G, have you found it useful? Do you feel bandwidth limited by 4G? Do you run into oversubscribed areas where you don't also have WiFi as an alternative?

"Many of us don’t need detailed analysis to understand this. We can see it on our neighborhood streets"

Salaries are local.

Outsourced development and manufacturing are premised on this and other local factors such as government incentives and subsidies.

It is possible for contractors to earn equivalent hourly rates but remember then you don't get a monthly salary, and any time off comes out of your pocket.
Exporting Hangouts History
Buying a car right now feels like a tough decision. ICEs are on their way out, even illegal pretty soon, but EVs aren’t quite there yet especially if you live in the city and can’t charge at home.

Probably best to wait ~5 years then buy an EV, if you can wait.
> It seems they prefer the colonizer?

Sure, because the foreign company exercises their access to capital to compete at a wage level that local companies can't compete with, but is still as low as possible to extract maximum value from the investment made by purchasing the worker's labor. Why do you think there's such inequality in economic opportunity, such that exploiting labor in this fashion is possible, in the first place?

> Is that exploitation any more than the US employee not getting paid 2x or 5 or 100 their current rate?

I'm not making any comparative assertions here. You seem to be making the case (by implication of your question) that in your opinion it's good for OP he's getting the opportunity to be exploited. And I'm just saying, it's exploitation. It is what it is.

So many small companies do this. I think over half of the companies I've done work for maintain a PO box and public phone number with a NYC ZIP/area code. None of them are in NYC, only one was in NY state. Why? Because NYC companies are more expensive!
Funny colorblind story. Back when I joined the military i had to do every eye test imaginable. I was already deep into a multi-month recruiting process when they sent me for an "update" at a base. The medic handed me one of those color dot flip books, the ones with numbers hidden amongst the dots. I read out all the early numbers easily but then hit a page of colored dots with no discernible pattern. Seeing my career ending before it could even begin, as the medic reached for the book I locked onto it with a death grip.

"Can't see any numbers? Your done."

"No! Give me a minute. I know I'm not colorblind."

"No. You are done. Only people who are colorblind see numbers in the last pages."

I had bent several creases in their book.

I agree with this in general but it depends on the individual. If I were looking to hire someone who was extremely smart/an expert on X I'd be focused more on their value:cost than location.

But for large tech companies that's not how you're hired - a body is needed to fill head count and the overlords determined that this particular position was better filled by a body in a cheaper country. Even if you do turn out to be very valuable to the company, the system is not set up to accomodate that scenario (and realistically, if you leave, the company can just hire another 5 people and hope to get another very valuable person among them).
I think there is a major competitive advantage here for small employers that know what they are doing. If you are running a small US/EU based company and you find someone great in an offshore local, then you can dramatically increase their loyalty, motivation, and potentially output with relatively modest and reasonable raises.

I fully understand that larger organizations make the transition to an MBA bean counter mindset that attempts to homogenize and commoditize employees, and I don't have any suggestions to change this status quo.

But small owner operated companies don't have to play by these rules. If you are leading a small technology company you should be well aware that there are huge differences in output between employees and your ability to actually know your people by name along with each of their strengths and weaknesses is information asymmetry that you have over the bigger competitors.
Anyway Pixel 3 has very low RAM (4GB) as a 2018 Android flagship (even not good as a mid-range). It effectively decreases lifetime.
I love the idea of an EV, but I hate how unfriendly they are towards self-repair and I don't want my car connected to the internet.

Also an EV has more battery capacity than my house so it'd be pretty hard to charge a car in the winter when I can barely keep my house batteries running my house.

It sounds like OPs parents were actually philosophers (logicians!) at heart, and happened to have religion as field of study. I know that this is in theology in theory, but in practice theology is a field often studied by the priest-class. I've not caught the theologian in our family ever showing any of the process of critical thinking. The main place to study theology in my country is reply rooted in protestantism and has as main output pastors and vicars.

OPs parents sound much more interesting than this :)
