Maybe there is one good trend that will come out of this - sack managers throughout the industry. Promote tech people where necessary, and have devs work directly with stakeholders. Also trim pdf certified scrum masters. Time to lean things out.

Fair enough. Seemingly practiced may be a better description. (I'm not super familiar with his work.)
I don't recall seeing those posts.
So, yes, cars that are programmed to have AEB: perform well at AEB and not other tasks. We are in agreement here. (I even agree with you that those cars use Radar for AEB).

Now, where we disagree is you implying that cars with AEB-level radar (literally $10 off-the-shelf parts with whatever sensor fusion some MobilEye intern dreams ups) are somehow the same as self-driving cars (the goal of Tesla Autopilot).

Every serious self-driving car/tractor-trailer out there uses radar as a component of its sensor stack because Lidar and simple imaging is not sufficient.

And that's the point I was trying to make - we agree it's trivial for radar to find things they just need sensor fusion to confirm the finding and begin motion planning. This is why a real driverless car is hard despite what Elon would like you to believe. There is no one sensor that will do it. Full stop.

And this cuts to the core of why Tesla is so dangerous. They are making a car with AEB and lane-keeping and moving the goal posts to make people (you included) think that's somehow a sane approach to driverless cars.

The reason I never struggled to apply to STANFORD like I did say, CARNEGIE MELLON, is that the latter lacks a football team.

I cannot emphasize enough how much combining atheletics and academics perverts both.

It's PR to make Elon seem like he's a tough guy. "Let that sink in."
The problem is how to keep such a system clean, as then there will be a bunch of foreign gunk floating around in your cistern.

> ...it's the ideas that are the draw for me; if the ideas start repeating themselves...it becomes a lot harder to read a lot faster.

I read for the ideas, too. It's typical for me to discover a wonderful book, search out everything from that author, only to observe the ideas becoming repetitive over a long output. Even Terry Pratchett felt very samey to me after a dozen books.

High-output writing seems to be inevitably uniform in outlook. You can easily change the setting of your plot, but it's a lot harder to alter your philosophical view.
Oh yeah I have a vague memory of B000. I was more interested in mode 13 (256 colors 360x200). I think it was starting from A000. I'm proud that I found that address by trial and error. I was able to put pixels on screen using `int 10h` but it wasn't fast enough to render my animations. I read in a translated (into Persian) tech book that there's something called screen memory but no mention of the address itself so I started from 0 and checked all blocks. I knew I didn't need to check every single byte. I was going like 0000, 0100, 0200, ... until I saw a few pixels on screen! Of course after a few crashes.
Glad that google fixed that anti-pattern.
I wrote a summary of one of the approaches for replacing TCP mentioned in the paper (called Homa) here: https://www.micahlerner.com/2021/08/15/a-linux-kernel-implem...
I mean, part of the envoy/grpc thing is to paper over some of the shortcomings of TCP so that yes, it's still TCP underneath, but you're not setting up connections the same way. Furthermore, any improvements in the space, the envoy sidecar is well positioned to do that upgrade.
"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 fucking mops."

Okay? Tesla is a car company and they are absolutely trying to sell a cheaper car. That's obvious to anyone that's been in one.

"Both methods have trade-offs."

Right, isn't that why most other systems use both?
Homa protocl can be deployed on the basis of existing switches (not all of them, but some of them will play well). See also https://github.com/PlatformLab/HomaModule .

In addition, a closed environment and the SDN's popularity in large data centers is a significant cost-reducing factors compared to typical IPv6 deployment.
Well there is normally some misguided attempt to justify how much more productive they are in those two hours. If there's one thing they're not short of it's hubris.

There are protocols in development at the NIST such as Named Data Networking[1] that implement such a scheme through flow balance and interests.

I wonder if this is on an active or passive incoming fibre connection.
These kinds of moral arguments are silly because they hit a brick wall as soon as they encounter how society operates in practice. If Tesla has a moral obligation to roll out an FSD that's a just a little safer than humans, then do they not also have an obligation to make it available to all their competitors? If not, does every individual have a moral obligation to buy only Tesla cars? Do governments now have an obligation to subsidize Tesla cars so anyone can afford them? Etc.

And all this only considers first order effects. If a 2x safer FSD feels more dangerous that normal driving and thus reduces FSD uptake for a decade, doesn't Tesla have a moral obligation not to release it to preserve the perception of safety of self driving technology?
I'm not confident this will lead to industry-wide trends, at least not immediately, because Twitter is specifically a massive company making negative profit. If Twitter was profitable, then this entire thing wouldn't have happened; they need to get lean because they're losing $$.

In my eyes, this is not TOO much different than the kind of radical reorg that might take place at a company like Twitter anyway (although ofc I've never seen it first-hand), just weird that it's playing out entirely in public.

That said, I think the public strategy is potentially interesting, as the engineers who remain at the company will probably feel like they're a part of a very exciting moment, will feel more aligned with leadership, etc.

Or, by sending the traffic over all routes, there is no way to keep one server from monopolizing all traffic, because each route is oblivious to the stress currently being experienced by all its peers. It has to set a policy using local data, not global data.

The usual failure mode for clever people thinking about software is taking their third person omniscient view of the system status and thinking they can write software that replicated what a human would do in that situation. We are still so very far from human level intuition and reasoning.
But if the radar just sees a static object and can't tell if it's an overhead sign or a car, and the camera vision is too washed out, how would sensor fusion help in your example?

Managers should not be coding - they are there to grow their people. That's why they are called "people managers".

Managers help organize their teams to be effective by hiring people with complimentary strengths, insulating them from distractions, and representing their team's work and achievements to leadership.

Managers unblock their team and get out of the way.

If a manager is writing code, they are not managing - they are developing. If there's not enough developers, they should be hiring.

And directors...they should definitely not be writing code.

The only valid example I've seen for leadership writing code is when they are acting as a customer and consuming their team's product (e.g. their team owns a service) with toy applications so they can understand the customer experience.
My experience is a bit old at this point, and I don't remember quite where exactly we were when we got to have a meaningful conversation on getting the blackhole settings set to reasonable values [1], but our bills were at the high end of your range, and we were a top 5 customer at some point.

For us though, getting one server blackholed every so often wasn't that big of a deal, so as long as everything was managed reasonably, and the ticketing was timely so we didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure out why server X wasn't working when it was just a blackhole from DDoS. A clever abuser could have caused a lot more trouble, but clever people tend to find more productive things to do.

[1] don't blackhole unless the traffic rate exceeds line rate (which topped out at 2x 10G), retest after 1 hour instead of 24 hours for the first retest, etc.
I am a data scientist, so I've always been interested in Julia and have had fun messing around with it, even if I can never find an excuse to use it at work.

Have you been using Julia for a "general purpose" programming? It seemed very domain specific to me, more like an upgrade from R and Matlab then something you would write a web server with.
The context here is TFA advocating for use of higher-level message-oriented frameworks instead of raw socket APIs so that they can use a non-TCP transport without changing the application code.
How about Twitter Spaces? It's on par for the features added by other big social media companies - what feature has Facebook added in the last 5 years? What about Instagram? There is around one big one in each case (excluding redesigns), with Marketplace and Reels respectively. WhatsApp hasn't added anything. Snapchat same (might be wrong here, i don't use it). Social media rarely adds features outside of copying competition (everyone copied Snapchat's stories, then Clubhouse's audio stuff, than TikTok).

This has always been the problem with Spotify for years but I guess it got worse and more blatant now. There has never been any incentive for the platform to be recommendations neutral and nowhere did they specify how they treat songs and labels from different artists.

Whats particularly egregious with Spotify is that their recommended method of improving your recommendations is to just "listen more to things you like". It's so disingenuous.
I wish my manager wrote less code.
I thought we were all in clear agreement that promoting engineers into managers creates poor managers? Engineers are good engineers, management is an entirely different skill set.

Promoting engineers into managers loses you a good engineer and creates a poor (and unhappy) manager.

If the person wants to be a manager, great! But otherwise, don't do it.

I credit Solarized with setting the baseline allowing proper "dark" themes to be more commonplace. I'm going out on a limb, but perhaps macOS' Dark Mode, or VSCode's dark mode, wouldn't exist without Solarized blazing that path.

It's kinda funny how, before Solarized, I would see tons of gimmicky themes like some that were going for a Matrix or "classic terminal" feel, going all in on a certain theme but eschewing real usefulness. I want my basic terminal colors to remain adjacent to their intended hues! I want different keywords/tokens in my code to be distinguishable!

Ethan's application of color theory/science to the landscape was like a beacon in the darkness.

Before Solarized, I used Zenburn (I actually still do in some environments, I'm not too keen on the blueish hue of Solarized backround.) I also like Tango Light/Dark.
Your ideas are interesting, can you link to or explain a concrete example though? The idea of everything magically debugging itself doesn't apply to a single piece of software I've ever seen, so I'm curious what kind of design would lead to that being possible.
Indeed. Not a lot of Sponaugles around here!

Next - with Nicholas Cage - was a film I actually enjoyed, but is a far cry from The Golden Man (short story).

I read an anecdote after Ex Machina came out about the 'freaky alternative ending' that wasn't used, which felt like a nod to the Golden Man:

"... So in that scene, what used to happen is you’d see her talking, and you wouldn’t hear, but all of a sudden it would cut to her point of view. And her point of view is completely alien to ours. There’s no actual sound; you’d just see pulses and recognitions, and all sorts of crazy stuff ..."
Only with specialized client software. The connect() system call doesn't return to the caller until the three-way handshake is complete, so you need a fourth packet to send useful data to the server socket.

In the other direction, where you have datacenter hardware and custom kernels, it's common to see the stack cheat and start blasting packets back to the client as soon as it gets the initial SYN, just expecting that the ACK will arrive normally.

Agreed, and to put it more simply - Shutting down a website that aims to kill people is not at all on the same level of sin as trying to kill people. To argue otherwise is asinine and, frankly, offensively pretentious.

Besides that, I've lost patience with the high-road wait-and-see attitide. Being "good" is not simply to condemn and look down upon the "bad". Being good requires intentional, decisive action to eliminate the world's evils. Anything less is indifference and virtue signaling. All that is required for evil to prevail is for "good" people to do nothing.

One reason Facebook's VR ambition might fail is that their entire culture has been built around social media, A/B tests, small optimizations, web, and a 2D interface.

From management to product teams.

They're now trying to create a fun 3D experience and they've utterly failed so far.

I feel as though a company like Epic or Sony or the Xbox team would be far better equipped to do so.
They exist but you're right that you can't just use the waste heat directly. You have to pump in some extra heat to make it worthwhile.

They are called co-generation power plants. The one I used to work at took the waste heat from gas turbines, added more heat with HRSGs (heat recovery steam generators) and fed it into a steam turbine. It adds a significant amount of efficiency.
> ”The first famous autopilot crash was because a white semi-truck was washed out by the sun and confused for an overhead sign.

That's literally trivial for a car with radar to detect.”

That crash occurred on a car which was using radar. Automotive radar generally doesn’t help to detect stationary objects.

Further, that crash occurred on a vehicle with the original autopilot version (AP1), which was based on Mobileye technology with Tesla’s autopilot software layered on top. Detection capabilities would have been similar to any vehicle using Mobileye for AEB at the time.

For example, a social scientist might submit a range of articles to HN in order to record, quantify, and study the personalities drawn to different topics. A board owner might use this information to attract the conversational tone they'd like to see.
I suspect there are a couple of contributors.

TCP is prevalent on the internet, so you need a fairly strong motivation and benefits to adopt a second protocol. A lot of engineering also doesn't get underlying networking, so one of the successes of TCP is it's a file descriptor that you either write to or read from and magic makes it come out the other side. I've seen tech leadership on networking centric products know nothing more than you read and write and magic makes the data appear on the other side. Even on implementations that use SCTP, I've seen products that only using a single stream and mark every message as requiring in order delivery. So it was effectively what TCP offers using the SCTP protocol.

At the time TCP was also far higher performance than SCTP. This wasn't so much a protocol thing, but because TCP was getting more engineering attention, it got a lot more scheduler optimization, kernel optimizations, and hardware offload support. So in many ways I think TCP scaled better due to these optimizations, which work both on the internet and internally. And then for multi-path, most data centers didn't get truly isolated networks. So if I'm running a mixture of TCP and SCTP, I still need L2 failover everywhere, which means my multi-homed SCTP connection isn't actually path diverse. And then where beneficial over the internet, there are a few success cases of using multipath TCP extensions.

SCTP is still used quite a bit in the telco networks, but due to the above, it was quite a waste of time.

Twitter poll:

Yeah. Better than the evidence that the Ukrainian government, who had to fire one of their ministers for lying about 'Russians raping children', has. Its amazing how proven, persistent liars can be trusted again and again in Anglosphere.

The dead in Bucha had white armbands. Those armbands are worn by local civilians who help in distributing the Russian-army supplied aid before the Russian army left the region and Ukrainian nationalists declared that they 'cleaned up the traitors'.

....

The 'extraordinary claim' bit is interesting. Why should it be 'extraordinary'? Because Russia - or whomever the current Angloamerican enemy - is sufficiently demonized in the Western press that it is 'extraordinary' to say that something like this did not happen? How is that any different from the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs, how Saddam gave 'rape kits' to his soldiers, and then Gaddafi gave rape kits to his soldiers and then now - surprise - Russia gives rape kits to its soldiers as we are told by The Mirror?

The SAME lie that was used against the Germans back in World war I, STILL being used in EVERY affair in which the UK or the US gets involved in, against their enemies?

Why the Western public are so big suckers for atrocity propaganda even as 80% of the world just does not buy the same bullsh*t?

...

The only answer is that because you people WANT to believe such lies. It appeases the false superiority that is exercised over the farcical 'democracy and freedom' shtick, it creates social cohesion among the group and it projects the problems at home and the anger resulting from them to outside enemies. Which helps you to tolerate the real enemies that live in your midst, like the ones who rule your society - the ones whom you can do nothing about.

There is no other explanation for such an insistence on believing the same lies over and over and over and over.

Surely most of your ideas are already being deployed in QUIC/HTTP3. It just happens inside a UDP datagram, for compatibility. Really you're not going to see any new IP protocol layers, there's too much quirky hardware on the network that wouldn't be able to handle it. If we can't even get IPv6 to work all the way to the client, we're never seeing new values for the protocol byte.
