> - Self driving cars were not an industry until Tesla pushed it, it is still the pioneer in this respect as no other car make has the same level of self driving features. How cool is a car that drives to you on button click? :)

Tesla was founded in 2003, and self driving wasn't a thing to think about back then.

DARPA had been working on getting the research for it underway - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_Grand_Challenge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_Grand_Challenge_(2004) -- and that was announced in 2002.

I'd suggest a read of https://www.wired.com/story/darpa-grand-urban-challenge-self... to get a bit of perspective on it. Also look at the number of teams that were trying to do it back then and presumably had thought about it and done some preliminary work on it even before ( https://www.technologyreview.com/2016/11/08/107226/in-the-19... ).

This isn't "before Tesla, no one was doing it" it is much more a "until recently, the necessary processing power was impractical to have in a car."
There's official canon for it, summarized here (spoilers)

It's up to you how granular you make your CI configuration. Much of it depends on the context and how your team works.

If you've already found yourself integrating a Makefile in a CI job, and figuring out the best mapping of Make rules to CI job/step/workflow: this is exactly the same. Ultimately you're just executing a tool which happens to depend on the Dagger engine. How and when you execute it is entirely up to you.

For example, here's the Github Actions job we use to test the Dagger Python SDK. It executes a custom tool written in Go. hhttps://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/bd75d17f9625f837d7a2f9...
> Cheaper because there are no block chain transaction fees. So assuming a DEX and CEX can charge the same fee structure, then CEX's should win as there is no exchange fee added to each transaction.

>Otherwise, would you consider corporate debt a ponzi scheme?

Depends on what you count as corporate debt.

I'd have no problem buying the debt of a mature, massive company like Apple or Microsoft, because they have hard assets, steady cashflows, successful products on the market.

The debt of a zombie corporation with a useless product that was only sustainable due to 0% interest rates? No thanks. Is that a ponzi scheme? Probably not the classical definition of one, but it's ponzi-adjecent.
> In Kotlin for instance you can execute your coroutines with different "dispatchers", which have different behaviors. You can for instance use a dispatcher with multiple threads in a threadpool, run it in the main thread, a specific thread, in threads with low/high priority etc. Basically allowing you to write code using the async/coroutine paradigm, but then control its execution from the outside.

I'm not very experienced with Kotlin, but that sounds similar to python's run_in_executor [1]

It's been 2 weeks since he officially bought it, but working at twitter (and even as an outsider just reading the news), you see the writing on the wall.

Sorry but it falls into the realm of audiophilia to me - people who think they hear a difference in their audio because they're using $30,000 gold plated wires lifted 0.25mm off of any surface such as to not disturb the audio harmonics or whatever voodoo they've been sold to believe in.

There are absolutely edits so subtle that without having seen or heard the original you'd have no way of knowing it was modified at all. Pitch correcting someone's voice up 1/1400th of a step is not going to be noticeable no matter how perfect one thinks their hearing is. These kinds of subtle changes are far more common than the drastic and noticeable edits or even smaller but still quite large edits where people with a trained eye/ear will notice but the average person wouldn't.

Dagger remains a declarative DAG-based system. The trick is that you can control it with a (also declarative) API. This gives you the best of both worlds: a robust declarative environment to run your pipelines, accessible from your favorite language (imperative or not).
But we have to allocate some resources to start the development process now (and hopefully make it more efficient and effective).

I hate arguments like this, appealing to some magical distinct codex of grammatical law as if language isn't messy and largely evolutionarily in nature, and highly dependent upon the current socially agreed-upon context.

Nope, just smaller apples and bigger apples. There’s no such thing as a mortgage that isn’t a gamble. At best you can say there are mortgages which are safer (even much much safer) than others.

And I'd like to see all liability for tiredness-caused mistakes to flow upstream to the first person who had the authority and ability to improve the situation and didn't do so. Understaffing is a form of medical malpractice in my book.

I agree that there are pros and cons to remote work, and that it should be possible to have a frank discussion about where the balance lies.

However, that is sadly irrelevant to this news item, as Musk isn't banning remote work because of any logical consideration of its merits. He's banning remote work because he's an authoritarian micromanager who believes that workers are to be treated like cattle.
People that quit voluntarily are always skewed towards the high end, because better employees have an easier time finding another job with similar benefits/pay but has that one thing they want.

The only way this would make sense as a downsizing tactic would be if you believe that employees that prefer to work remote (enough to the point where they would consider quitting) are significantly worse than the average Twitter employee.

Hi my name is Tea, and I'm a full-stack software engineer, specializing in front-end development. I have a background in technical education and graphic design and am now making a career change to web development. My goal is to find a role that will allow me to grow and eventually step into a leadership role, a role where my skills create an impact on our services and community, and a healthy-work life balance where I have a good working relationship with my team. I am available for contract or full-time positions and am actively interviewing. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to set up a call.
I dont understand your use of "knows", knowing isnt part of the problem.

Imagine, for simplicty sake, a world is a series of four switches which we can describe by 0 (off),1 (on).

Eg., world A at time 0 is 0000, at time 1, 0001, ...

Now a change from 0000 to 0001 is causal if in every physically possible world 0001 follows 0000, ie., P(0001|0000) = 1

Now suppose that we enumerate every possible world, ie., all the worlds containing only this kind of switch, and only four of them.

Now if 40% of the worlds had 0000->0001 and 60% had 0000->1000, then P(0001|0000) = 0.4

The question is how can it be that the fourth switch behaves randomly? Ie., without any necessary flip from 0 to 1. Nothing at all can cause that switch to flip, by definition, the world contains nothing else in it.

What property does the switch have such that it turns on 40% of the time? NONE.

Consider two resolutions to this problem: bite the bullet and say the switch is "miraculous in some sense" in that it "just turns on" sometimes; OR, say that this thought experiment is physically impossible and we're missing information.

Eg., that there's a hidden switch: 10000->10001 always, and 00000->11000 always, we just can't see the first switch, so it looks random.
You have a machine that if you turn it on, it removes carbon from the air.
But, to power it you release a greater amount of carbon into the air.

Should you turn on the machine? No, you should leave it off.

Only when your power sources are green should you turn on the machine.
SBF discusses his objections to the assumptions for the Kelly Criterion here: https://twitter.com/sbf_ftx/status/1334310313710157829

1) it's way too conservative for many people
2) it contains strong assumptions about infinitely repeated identical bets that you can't have an adaptive strategy with, none of which describe the real world
3) it's scale-invariant in a way that is inconsistent with its sublinearity

“Rationalisation” is a favourite word of mine, because it is so irrational. I try not to underestimate anyones capacity for self-deception (including my own). Sam surely deeply understood the Kelly Criterion, and risk management, yet he apparently kept doubling down, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Petersburg_paradox

https://www.sequoiacap.com/article/sam-bankman-fried-spotlig... says:

Here, SBF realized, was the rub: When he applied this principle to his own life, he came up short. There was little chance he’d get himself fired from Jane Street. Thus the decision to stick with Jane was a risk-averse preference. It was the logical equivalent of being offered a choice between $50 and 50 percent of $100, and saying, “Give me President Grant.” SBF was risk-neutral on behalf of Jane Street, but not, he realized, for his own life. To be fully rational about maximizing his income on behalf of the poor, he should apply his trading principles across the board. He had to find a risk-neutral career path—which, if we strip away the trader-jargon, actually means he felt he needed to take on a lot more risk in the hopes of becoming part of the global elite. The math couldn’t be clearer. Very high risk multiplied by dynastic wealth trumps low risk multiplied by mere rich-guy wealth. To do the most good for the world, SBF needed to find a path on which he’d be a coin toss away from going totally bust.

Although it is weird the author of the article uses an example of taking both bets, yet Sam throws away one bet (working for Jane Street).

For the same reason we don't cover cars in 3" thick steel armor. It's still very important–planes and cargo are expensive. But overall cost might be optimized without quite as many zeros.

Hmm interesting. I'm not familiar with this scene. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I feel like it feels kind of hollow. Like there's a lot of energy in it, but the vocaloid part just feels so emotionless. Maybe that's a cultural barrier though. Jpop and Kpop make me feel similarly and they're actually singing.

On the western side in a similar vein you've got hyper pop coming up from 100 gecs and laura les and what not. This kind of sound, hypertuned and almost as incomrehensible, sounds better to me. You do still get a vein of emotion. I love this sound.

So bail-outs weren't grants, they were loans, and the loans have been repaid netting a massive windfall to the government over over $100B with many more billions to come, a ton of jobs were saved and it's hard to argue that they were at all a bad thing.

I'm not sure it affects install rates - but I know when I've been cleaning up my phone the apps that seem to occupy orders of magnitude more than their function would suggest, get culled first.

My phone apps? Couldn't even guess as to their storage requirements.
Probably a good thing that storage is so plentiful we normally don't care - but cynic in me thinks that a company selling storage with a massive markup, maybe doesn't have aligned interests.

If 0.1% of people install an app, and it consumes a gig rather than 500Meg - and we sell millions of phones. That does turn into a real money pretty fast.

Whatsapp had 1B users with far fewer eng, why is Twitter so big?

Here is my back of the envelope math of how big I think the company should be for their main offering.
Over the past years Twitter has acquired a ton of companies, but I'm going to leave them out of this equation.

Eng (250)

===========

Backend/Storage: 100 eng

Subscriptions: 50

Front-End: 50 eng

iOS App: 20 eng

Android App: 20 eng

UX: 10

Abuse/Moderation (200)
=========================
Abuse: 100
Moderation: 100

Marketing/Sales (210)

=======================

PR/Marketing: 30

Ad Sales: 180

Mgmt/overhead (40)

=====================

Legal/GDPR/compliance: 20

HR/Recruiting : 10

CEO/CFO/etc.: 10

What do you think? How far off am I? If more people turn to subscriptions perhaps the abuse/moderation team will shrink in the future.
