> If FSD ever becomes a thing, they're the only automaker actually capable of taking advantage of it.

How does that follow? The other thread today talks about how catastrophically bad FSD is. Other carmakers have driver assistance tech that's as good or better (but they're not setting expectations sky high with "full self driving" moniker).

> VW still makes electric cars using chassis designed for ICEs.

Yeah, cars still have 4 wheels and a steering wheel.
Failure is proportional to change.

A growing company is frequently changing. A company that launches new features is changing. A company trying to fix architecture is changing. The large work forces a lot of valley companies have is built around and justified by this growth/change.

The change that twitter will likely experience now is machine failure (3/1000 a day probably), hard drive expiration, potentially database promotions. Failures of cache machines.

Automation can drive a lot of these to very small workloads, but capacity management is a potentially existential crisis looming over all tech companies.

Then you get to the real problem that twitter faces. Political change, security change, and workforce rot.

Political/regulatory change poses a problem because it often requires changes to infrastructure. This creates the type of change that can result in failure.

Security change can be supply chain problems or bug reports. Maybe keys need to get rotated, new encryption added, software updated. All of these are change. All can result in failure, and potentially catastrophic failure.

Lastly, the largest existential problem is that the engineers left at twitter are likely not their best and many of them are probably coerced into staying due to H1B regulation. Now you run into a problem of attrition and replacing that attrition. When your good engineers leave (or are over worked), it's harder to hire good engineers. The difference between a good engineer and a bad engineer is their `complexity to result` ratio. Good engineers can create simple solutions, while bad engineers create complex solutions, even though both might produce the same end result.

Failure is also proportional to complexity and outage duration is most impacted by complexity.
It's a pretty clear-cut policy violation:

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/personal-info...

> Our primary aim is to protect individuals from potential physical harm as a result of their information being shared, so we consider information such as physical location and phone numbers to be a higher risk than other types of information.

> Under this policy, you can’t share the following types of private information, without the permission of the person who it belongs to....home address or physical location information

So Elon essentially gave permission, and now he has revoked it.

The difficulty those on the other-side of this argument have is that they themselves are not arguing that this shouldn't be the policy, and that this "doxing" behavior is not wrong. In fact, no one is.

There is not a single person claiming free speech is being violated here. There is not any kind of movement or group that is campaigning for doxing of location information as a right.

Essentially, people are saying: you are not allowing the things that no one thinks should be allowed anyway.

Facebook doesn't care what becomes amplified, the other racist users on the platform are amplifying hateful posts by engaging with them. That's not the same as intentionally promoting it.

Tailscale are _the_ company pushing the state of the art in VPN's, and they write great, detailed technical articles and whitepapers about it. As someone who has worked on a different, more traditional, enterprise VPN product, this is extremely interesting to me. Most other companies have neither the cool tech (most haven't even switched from IPsec), nor the ability to put out anything other than marketing fluff, nor the focus to actually keep working on the core VPN tech instead of trying to check all boxes (monitoring/firewalling/device management/...) but not innovating anywhere. Tailscale also scales down to individual, private users, has a free plan, some open source code and an open source reimplementation, all of which appeals to the HN audience.

This article in particular is interesting because Tailscale inserting malicious nodes is the #1 concern I had around their product, and their solution (tailnet locks) is interesting and probably better than the solution I would have come up with (using Wireguard's support for additional symmetric secrets).
The software you like isn't going anywhere and you don't have to change any of those defaults. The mac allows you to change defaults and install whatever you want and it's still a great platform.
I'm very skeptical this is due to safari and not Microsoft style monopolistic behavior by baking the browser into the OS so it's always loaded.

> Why is everyone flailing about so much? People have a weird obsession with Elon now.

It's almost as if there are actual consequences to what he is doing, and what happens to twitter.
The theory would be that washes out in the noise. It's a simplification, but on average, most of the people most of the time are not doing that - why would it zone in on the rare case and apply that behavior?
Which is most likely?

A) Elon banned the account, reneging on his previous statement, "My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk"

B) It was erroneously banned by someone else or an automated bot net process without Elon's knowledge and will be overturned when he's made aware of it

C) It was banned for another reason we don't know about yet

D) Other
I really wish they would cut this "Level" nonsense, that system was invented by business people, not engineers.

Interventions are more nuisanced than just "Did the driver intervene". Many times I intervene and take control while using Tesla FSD not out of safety reasons, but to be nice to other drivers, or for a smoother ride. It tends to love passing other cars on the right and not letting cars into merges, for example. It also brake a little hard at traffic jams, for instance, not nearly to a point where it would be a safety issue, but when I see a traffic jam far ahead I would begin decelerating much, much earlier just for the comfort of myself and passengers.

That said, FSD is nowhere near ready, I do have a huge number of safety related interventions as well, but reducing this to a number like L3 or L4 is trying to oversimplify a problem that isn't simple.
that's yet another new language, there are only so many one can master to use it with good productivity.
How to Prioritize a Roadmap
Yes. I have used every way to consume the web since text-only was preferred in early lynx days and finding gopher resources was the norm. NSCA Mosaic, Netscape Navigator, all IE versions, Firefox, Chrome when it first appeared. I want nothing more to only use Safari / OS WebKit on all my devices. If this winds up going through, I will actively delete all applications that switch off WebKit. To each their own...

I'd go as far as saying "Do not anthropomorphize anybody whose name you know from media"

Do not treat them as people, treat them as ideas or maybe Sport Franchises.

Taylor Swift or Donald Trump or Elon Musk are like say the Cincinnati Reds.

If you are in a bar in Cincinnati and you want to drink without paying your best bet is singing the praise of the Reds, likewise if you are looking for trouble then attack and insult the Reds.

Same thing with Musk, if you are among entrepreneurs then be supportive of Musk , if you are among workers start attacking him vehemently.

I'll have to check out the bug sometime, but it sounds like it's just bad luck with goroutine scheduling and the order things execute in, in a goroutine that isn't locked to a thread. I can see it going unnoticed on older versions of Go (especially prior to weirder things like usermode preemption.)

https://metroretro.io - started as a hackathon project in 2016. I found people using the barely functioning prototype a year later for actual work meetings and decided to started improving it. I went perm on the project 3 years ago and this year passed 10k MRR (100% self funded). Still doing all the dev and ops solo, but I have two co-founders doing all the sales, support and finance stuff.

I’m honestly not sure if I missed something. I’ve been under the impression that he gave all the files to journalists and let them be the judge of what’s relevant. Sometimes things go beyond domestic vs international - because it’s someone else’s domestic surveillance and if that someone is an ally it’s at least a tiny bit problematic and worthy of review.
Tesla has been building out its manufacturing lines during this time, which is extremely capital intensive. Remember when the Model 3 was just being rolled out, and how that almost killed them?
I agree completely. Having a walled garden forces Apple to focus on the quality of their software if they wish to have a competitive product. (And their software, on the whole, is good because they have control over their vertical integrations.) If you forcibly take away their incentive to compete, the appeal of the iPhone disappears. Every phone's environment becomes a Bazaar; no more Cathedrals.

Incidentally, many of these "features" came about from Google trying to create moats or cut out competitors. Further, Chrome is a dog on Apple Macs, cuts battery life to a fraction, plus brings a host of invasive and compromising behaviors.

In general Google has made no attempt for their browser to be competitive on feature dimensions that matter to many Apple hardware buyers; their share remains driven by residual tech influencer group-think still left over from the IE wars more than the value of, say, WebM over x265. (See also Duck Trumotion and Widevine for more of Google's motivation.)

The profitability motive is false, see Steam charging the same 30% despite e.g. Gog or Microsoft store. This is inconvenient for those making the argument Apple's fee is out of line.

> Chrome's market share destroys every Webkit-based browser combined.

Clearly they need more help with this. Glad EU is looking out for them.
I can't remember a time I've seen a posting advertising use of Svelte on a team FWIW.

The headwinds against React are strong.
For many decades, there have existed commercial apps native to the Apple ecosystem, often from small/mid-sized studios, which would use native UI to signal their premium craftsmanship. I think that for many long-time Mac users, seamless/native UI is still a signal of quality in third-party software. However, this sentiment is moribund. That entire market is now dwarfed by the ecosystem of “cross-platform apps” (formerly Windows ports, now usually web apps) and Unixy OSS tools; all the while the Mac App Store now peddles lots of native-UI apps of deeply questionable quality.
I object to the line

> I trust Apple to do a decent job at protecting me [...] more than a 3rd party app store.

Arguing over App Store security borders on hypocrisy when there are gaping-wide exploits in the default iOS ecosystem.

Also, this bit:

> more importantly, my less tech minded friends

If your friends can't be trusted to use the internet without direct supervision, maybe they shouldn't have access to Safari, YouTube, Twitter or an iPhone either. It's a hard argument to strongman when the iPhone has a web browser packed in.
The difference is noticeable.

You only have to look at Cruise versus FSD videos to see how the latter struggles with reliable object detection.

Also this is about Cruise the robo-taxi company and not the GM SuperCruise technology which isn't what I would consider a peer to FSD.
This better not lead to any “best viewed in chrome” banners. At this point the only reason some of my fellow engineers even test outside of Chrome is because of Mobile Safari.
People have mentioned this in other sub-threads, but it's explicitly intended for stop-and-go traffic jams:

> Mercedez-Benz has announced approval of their “Drive Pilot” system, in Germany, which does fully autonomous operation in highway traffic jam situations.

> ...

> The Mercedes car provides the traffic jam assist function — only on German motorways to start — below 60 km/h. While people debate whether they want to drive their car or not, nobody likes driving in a traffic jam, and everybody hates the time wasted in them. As a luxury feature, this will let drivers make more productive use of that time.

> describes the situation when an entity holds long-term assets against short-term liabilities, and these liabilities are called by customers on short notice creating a solvency issue

FTX didn’t suffer a bank run. Diamond-Dybvig describes a bank trying “to call in their loans,” borrowers being “unable to pay back quickly, since their loans were, by assumption, used to finance long-term investments,” and thus “if all depositors attempt to withdraw their funds simultaneously, a bank will run out of money long before it is able to pay all the depositors” [1]. The bank was solvent. Then it was illiquid. Illiquidity finally caused insolvency.

FTX was not solvent to start with. Alameda owed them more than it was worth. The FTT position within Alameda resembles a bank run, but that characterisation is problematic since FTT wasn’t financing anything long term and was issued by an “exchange” doing fraud.

Curious you mention this I was using it this morning driving directly into the Sun... even without our lanes painted after they repaved the roads it kept me in the right part of the road and even engaged the turn signal automatically as it stopped at the traffic light before our right turn...

Same, but with ASP.NET (which produces an OpenAPI specification) + Entity Framework on the server, React + TypeScript on the client (which consume that specification through openapi-generator).

I chuckle every time I read claims about Go (or whatever) being amazingly productive. I don't think it's possible to beat this stack with regards to both productivity and ease of long-term support, at least without going to very niche technologies where you'll have other problems.

Database schema is generated from models described in C# (or reverse-engineered from an existing schema). You don't have to compromise your schema to satisfy the ORM (another claim I often read on HN), as it's very adaptable to your needs.

Migrations are generated automatically — change your models, ask it to generate migration code in C# + a SQL migration script, review the generated SQL, and apply.

The vast majority of database queries (pretty much everything besides reports) is written in type-safe LINQ, which makes it easy to refactor code, and also construct & combine queries at runtime. Unlike that specification abomination JPA expects you to use, LINQ queries look something like this:

var latestOrders = _db.Orders
.Where(ord => ord.CreatedAt >= DateTime.Today)
.Where(ord => !ord.Deleted)
.OrderByDescending(ord => ord.CreatedAt)
.Take(25)
.Select(ord => new {
OrderId = ord.Id,
Customer = ord.Customer.Name,
CreatedAt = ord.CreatedAt,
Products = ord.Products.Select(prod => new {
ProductId = prod.Id,
Title = prod.Title,
})
})
.ToList();

If you change your schema and forget to update one of the queries accordingly (although using an IDE makes this pretty much impossible), your code won't even compile.

Well the built-in software will still be there. And if you have a use-case that it doesn't support then you'll have the option to install other software that does. Seems like a pure win from a user perspective.
I identify with this.

I heard somewhere that certain high performing folks only need five hours of sleep a night. I tried this for a week and it was a disaster. Damage to work. Damage to relatonships, etc.

But it did lead me to a years long experiment to discover my limits for sleep (while also struggling to understand how diet and caffeine intake interact).

I just finished a year where I aimed for 49 hours of sleep per week (5 nights of 6 hours, 2 nights of 8 hours, 1 or 2 naps of 1.5-3 hrs), and after 11+ months I started having the same problems I had from the initial 5hr/night experiment that last only a week.

So I've accepted I'm not a 35/hr a week guy. I might be a 45/hr a week guy, with precise diet/exercise/caffeine dosing, but in the meantime I'm comfortable accepting decent productivity at 55/hr a week.

The solution to this is simple, Apple needs to make their browser usable enough that people don't go to extremes such as packaging entire browsers with their code. In many cases Safari's Javascript engine will even beat Chromium's engine.

Android allows any browser engine you like (even Webkit if someone would manage to compile it) and people don't generally do nonsense this on Android. I don't see why the situation would be any different here. The reason is simple: the web view API is easy to use, automatically updated, and backwards compatible.

As another benefit, devices that have fallen out of support may receive updates for browsers, making them usable again.
