Everyone has limited R&D and processing bandwidth. It's not just Andrej saying this, but anyone working on engineering autonomous vehicles. It has nothing to do with the cost of additional eyes. This is over-simplifying the problem. Our eyes don't work that way. The data coming from eyes and image sensors is very crude and relies on either your brain or very sophisticated post-sensor processing to construct a 3D approximation of the actual environment. The sensors themselves don't provide this information. They don't distinguish distinct objects, corners, shadows vs. changes in color, or all sorts of phenomena that doesn't actually exist in the sensor data. This has to be inferred later by a brain or processing that relies on prior assumptions and 'training' by previous experiences with 3D environments. I don't really care what Tesla is doing vs. what other companies are doing, but these 'cost cutting' arguments don't matter. I would suspect that the R&D invested into the Machine Learning infrastructure, and the custom IC, and the software engineering out-weighs whatever amount they could save by removing a small sensor. And I don't believe that this guy Andrej is conspiring to squeeze a few bucks out of his customers at the expense of degrading his life's work. He is not trying to sell mops.
On the latent heat problem, I wonder how the math works out if you put a dehumidifier in the bathroom to counteract the effect of leaving warm water standing around.

What's interesting about that is that you'd effectively be using the dehumidifier as a heat pump, indirectly pumping the heat out of the water and into your home, leaving you with cold water in the heat pump's reservoir. You're adding energy, but that energy also ends up as heat, so you'd still certainly end up ahead compared to using electroresistive heating (but not necessarily compared to a traditional heat pump).

My guess is that it would be a lot more effective to _directly_ pump the heat out of the waste water, but you can't do that with off the shelf appliances.

Ah yes, I know those stories as well. I found that surprising also, but it seems to stem from the botnet era where there were thousands upon thousands of originating networks instead of some big (DNS) servers. The practice is still in place though, especially at some cheap hosting providers.
I’ve read into the Toyota case in the past and it doesn’t seem like it was that obvious of a regulatory failure, where you could come to such a conclusion.

Did I miss some good article covering it? Because everything I’ve read with the benefit of retrospect has been pretty critical of a lot the alleged ‘cases’ reported in that 89 number.

Are you sure that’s the example you want to use for pre-emptive regulatory failure? And do you think Tesla could demonstrated failures at a similar rate (assuming they were legit) and get away with it? Because I dont
Years ago I was renting a house with a small in-law building in the back which was rented separately. I'd get the electric bill and then split it 75/25 with the guy who lived there. Over time the electric bill kept getting higher and higher, until it was like $500+ a month. I talked to the landlord and the other renter about it and none of us could figure out what was drawing so much electricity. I called the electric company several times, and they'd asked if I had shut off my pool, which I didn't have, or if I had been using the jacuzzi a lot, which I also didn't own. Then they asked about power tools, welders, and all sorts of other things, and when I finally convinced them something was wrong they sent someone out.

The electric guy did the obvious thing: He started flipping breakers to see which circuit was drawing so much electricity. I had done that as well, but had no idea what to do from there. He was able to follow it out to the in-law house, which was in complete darkness as it had zero electricity inside - except for a tiny water heater installed out back. It had somehow gotten filled with sediment, so the heating element was basically trying to keep a barrel full of sand warm. (The guy who lived there just assumed the hot water tank was small and took fast showers as a result). The landlord replaced it and suddenly the bill went down to less than $100. Crazy.

The point to this story is that there's probably a lot more that could be done before worrying about recouping the heat from your bath water.
There's a little misleading point on page 2, or just a mistake. It says "Driving a 100 Gbps network at 80% utilization in both directions consumes 10–20 cores just in the networking stack" and it cites Google's Snap paper from 2019. But the Snap paper quite clearly says nothing like that. It says that Snap can drive a 100gbps NIC to 80gpbs with just 1.05 cores (Table 1) and that the whole-machine CPU load at 80gpbs in an RPC benchmark is 4 CPUs per side (Figure 6(b)).

Aside from that I completely agree that TCP is trash.
So basically the data center took the side of the criminals.
> Whenever I have to do code generation in my language of choice, I feel that the language should be able to do that without having to generate code.

A good use of code generation is to relieve yourself the burden of hand-writing repetitive mapping code, especially when modelling the database structure in application code. This is a perfect use case for that. Same is true for generating a client to some external API.

Otherwise I'm inclined to agree with you. A few times, I've written code generators before and realised I could've gotten away with some generic programming.

But that has its own set of gotchas and caveats. Though go has support for some generic programming now.
That sounds rough. Consider putting in air to air mini-splits instead, and leaving window cracked open, etc. As a bonus, each room will get its own thermostat, and cooling / heating.

The mini-split will only require coolant lines, and will have a sufficiently high coefficient of power that this + whatever ventilation exists might use less energy than heating with natural gas (or resistive electric), even with the loss of efficiency from not using heat exchangers.

(Doing both things would be much better, of course. Retrofitting is hard.)
No, that is over simplification. It's not simply distances, you have to detect objects, motion, shadows, corners and all sorts of phenomena.

>> As more and more software eats more and more of the world, there is less and less need for anyone who is not coding or talking about the code.

This just doesn't match my experiences at all. So much of what we do to build software has nothing to do with the actual code. I've recently worked in both a very micro-services oriented organization and a magnificent monolith and they have very similar, non-code problems; the difference is were they exist in the software and in the organization.

If you're interested to see how your "operational management defines composition" idea can go horribly wrong, google what happened when Dell migrated their hierarchy to align with micro-services
Feasible, but I don't think everyone having their own individual server was the intent of the design. Yes to question 2. I'm not sure about question 3, if there is a barrier, it isn't large.
If anything it has become the opposite. “Blue checkmarks” is almost a slur these days.
How large is a large customer here? Paying the hosting company monthly bills on the order of 1k, 10k, 100k? I expected this to only affect small and medium businesses, so I'm genuinely curious what qualifies as large but is still affected. (My security consultancy work only tangentially touches upon DDoS, so I know a thing or two but am not actually in this business.)
How does it make sense to not even have sensors for parking? If you think they don't help during normal-speed driving, that's one thing. But they obviously help during parking, since (IIRC) they've had to disable certain autonomous features until they get their vision-based systems upgraded to be able to fill in this gap.
You can use SCTP in a datacenter. Ousterhout el al. are surely aware of SCTP so I assume Homa is better in some way.
It's also a really effective way to influence things in your own self interest.

He could make bad decisions that make the company fail, although frankly the previous leadership was on that path already.

It’s clear from his recent announcements that he understands how much Twitter depends on advertisers.
> Nonsense. An anonymous accusation is all but meaningless, and is in no way similar to a conviction. This is some truly garbage journalism.

Neither the article nor Project Callisto claim it is anything like a conviction. The article itself points out that even when multiple people accuse the same person the lawyers who are contacted do not (and cannot) get access to the accused person's name via the system.
I loved the SunView and XView elegant use of varargs for properties. GTK+ seemed a bit like that, but got more complicated.

Sun also had a nice add-on graphics library for XView called Slingshot. It might have my first-ever open source contribution (just a bug fix).
Well, I could see a bad environment making things bad. Hell, I suffered a tiny bit from that growing up in the USA. Our culture heavily pushes getting in debt and living paycheck to paycheck while driving new cars and enjoying other status symbols, and it took a few years of living paycheck to paycheck despite making a ton of money before I got my act together and put a budget together

Misconfigured servers that can amplify are only one way to DDoS attack. Even if this wasn't a problem you would still have all the other ways to DDoS, which you could handle easier if you could actually block the traffic.

So yes, we would still need that protocol.
"The perfect solution is not obvious to anyone, and they have chosen one path. Engineers aren't trying to scam people out of a few dollars so they can weasel out of making high quality technology. This has Nothing to do with cost-cutting."

You have to eventually decide to trust one or the other, in real-time. So having multiple failure modes doesn't solve the problem entirely. This is called 'Fusion', meaning you have to fuse information coming from multiple sensors together. There are trade offs because while you gain different views of the environment from different sensors, the fusion becomes more complicated and has to be sorted out in software reliably in real-time.
Not disagreeing that many excellent technical ICs get promoted into roles where they are ineffectual managers, but dual career ladders that let technical people stay in technical IC roles while getting promoted have been around for quite a while by now. The last 3 companies where I was a manager all had them, and principal developers were parallel (in hierarchy and pay) to senior engineering managers.

I think the biggest problem is that engineering management is not thought of as a craft to be learned and improved. Most managers don't put anything like the amount of time and effort into getting better compared to technical ICs.

I can't remember why they killed Vine, do you know what was specifically wrong with it? It had users and was getting popular.

Edit: Found some more context

> By December 2015, Vine had over 200 million active users.[1] On October 27, 2016, Twitter announced that it would disable all uploads, but that viewing and download would continue to work.

> The discontinuation of Vine came as many different competing platforms began to introduce their own equivalents to Vine's short-form video approach.

This is just astonishing.

No on both counts. :-D
A car typically doesn't have lights shining in all directions. My Tesla doesn't at an rate. At night, backing into my driveway, I can barely see anything on the back-up camera unless the brake lights come on. If it's raining heavily it's much worse. But the ultrasonic sensors are really good at detecting obstacles pretty much all around.

Awesome idea, and I really like the implementation! It'd be great to see an integration with something like Moodle -- so that educators could generate quiz questions based on course content automatically, eliminating the "blank page" when they start putting together a quiz.
Powerline networking is <100 MHz and a pretty pedestrian filter will effectively block it. I'd wager that a pair of clamp-on ferrites[0] between your meter and your panel would work just fine.

Mind that the BBEdit information and format is out of date. Updated files can be found at the original project repository [1]. Moreover, due to containerization the "Color Schemes" directory has meanwhile moved and is now at

`~/Library/Containers/com.barebones.bbedit/Data/Library/Application\ Support/BBEdit/Color\ Schemes`.

(This can be simply navigated to from within BBEdit via the "BBEdit" menu > "Folders" > "Color Shemes". This will open the folder in the Finder, just copy the `*.bbColorScheme` files there.)

“The world is designed for human visual consumption” and “[vision] has all the information you need for driving”. While vision may be sufficient, I would say that other senses, such as hearing, touch and smell augment driving very well. Especially with regard to situational awareness. e.g. The sirens of emergency vehicles are typically the first indication of their presence, which often can be felt as well. The wail of a tornado siren, similarly. Loud throbbing motorcycles do much to improve rider safety simply due to them broadcasting their presence. At railway level crossings, drivers should slow down, look and listen for oncoming trains. The smell of wildfire or bushfire smoke provides enhanced warning or nearby danger. So to say vision is sufficient, does not fully take in to account the driver experience, especially where safety and situational awareness are concerned.
It is a hard question to answer. It’s like asking if more programmers on a project will allow it to be completed faster with higher quality. Ya, theoretically they could, in practice not likely. More sensors are like more programmers, theoretically they can be safer and more effective, but in practice they won’t be. Sensor fusion is as hard a problem as scaling up a software team.

Lidar vs. Stereo camera vs. multiple cameras vs. ultrasound is a separate problem that engineers are trying to solve, not how can we sell cheaper mops. The decision to not use Lidar, as he says, and is the common debate being explored by people working on autonomous driving is whether it makes more sense to focus on stereo image sensors with highly integrated machine learning, or maybe use Lidar or other sensors and include data Fusion processing. Both methods have trade-offs.
Clearly an exaggeration, but anyone have real numbers?

I know it's nice to gripe about management being dumb, but my managers at Facebook and Amazon were the opposite. I often ran into managers who, after a 10 minute discussion would make key insights that I had not noticed.

That's why I refuse to touch code made by these tactical tornado. It's simple, you'll get all the blame, and none of the recognition. Anyone who is in that situation: Don't it even if it means you'll get fired. You'll get fired anyway.

The only exception is, if management come to understand what went wrong there and how it should be done. The chances of that are very slim, however.

i just dont get it. lex says "lets re-frame the question: can a language model drive a car?" this doesnt have any insinuations about andrej's intentions or motives. if it were calling out bullshit it would be "lets re-frame the question: why is elon musk never wrong?"

lex kisses elon musks ass, last time i checked hes on musks side in the lidar debate and also lex has a record of listening patiently no matter what and i have never known him to check people or "call out their bullshit." lastly, what andrej did wasnt a bullshit move. re-framing a question has never been known as something people do only when they are being deceptive and it is very common in intellectually honest answers/explanations in my experience.

im still shocked because usually i see what other people see. but people calling this a dig/bullshit came out of left field for me. i hope i dont miss stuff like that more than i realize...

edit: i read your comment again and i didnt read it right. he panics, gives himself some more room, lex acknowledges this but in a prickly way. it makes sense but im still upset because when i watch it all i see is lex making a joke. i guess i have severe autism.

It's perhaps less likely for Twitter than any one given Fediverse server/Mastodon instance. But the impact on the whole ecosystem is very different too. A single Fediverse instance shutting down could be annoying/sad, but it would only affect a subset of users, and those users could still, if need be, create a new account on another instance. Twitter shutting down closes everything for everyone.

Just off the top of my head:

Volition's multiple unnamed/unbranded engines for the Saints Row franchise.

The RenderWare fork used for Crackdown 1. The unknown engine for Crackdown 2 (presumed to be an iteration of the Crackdown 1 engine). (Crackdown 3 used Unreal Engine 4. Useful to mention for those elsewhere in this thread concerned Unreal "can't" do it.)

You can argue that BioWare has tried its raw best to push EA DICE's Frostbite engine as much as possible in that direction. DAI and MEA didn't have truly seamless open-world games, but they tried to get the biggest scale of levels that Frostbite seemed capable of and at their best felt "close". (Obviously at their worst they felt nothing at all like GTA/RDR level of detail/size.)
