> You’re moving the goalposts.

No, I'm not making the circular argument of merging all the places one can work into one made-up uber-company then complaining there are not choices.

> the vast majority of job actually lie within a handful of firms.

First, that does not follow, especially for your example of pilots which I'll clearly show below).

And an individual wanting a new job is not forced to work only at the top few places - they still have choice, and the reason more work at the bigger employers is each employee chose that over every other available job. No central planning operation made them choose it. It's called paying market clearing rates if you really like econ 101.

Someone works in all those companies. Ignoring that there are jobs to move to, and ignoring that the top companies do not provide competition in the labor market is terrible logic or economics.

I'm also not making the mistake of claiming there is not constant, dynamic movements in the airline industry.

>Now, you are making the point that startups can enter the market. This is a red herring. Pilots can’t just start up an entire airline in order to get a new job.

No. There are 600+ firms right now. Making the black-and-white mistake of claiming that the top 10 are the same company and the rest are startups is ludicrous. I said nothing about pilots needing to move to some startup. Or do you claim those 600+ companies all started last week?

Stop making absolutist statements and look at the evidence: no one company has anywhere near monopoly power, there are hundreds of companies to choose from, and even if you somehow are barred by law or magic from applying outside the top 10, that is still a decent size to choose from.

And if you really want to focus on pilots, most do not work for the big companies. For example, American Airlines has ~20% of US market share [1]. They employ 12,700 [2] pilots of the ~700,000 [3] pilots in the US instead of the 136,000 they would employ to have also 20% of the pilot jobs. The reason is that there are far more pilot jobs not flying huge commercial planes full of people, and such jobs are scattered all over. This same pattern works across all the large airlines - the fact is most pilots do in fact work not for the big companies. Care to adjust your thinking now?

This is your opportunity to move more goalposts. I'm sure you can keep restricting classes from many industries, to airlines, to only the top one, to only pilots named Allen, and eventually you'll think you have a pilot without lots of places to work. But I suspect even then you'd fail to make the number of choices small.

So if you want to be honest about where people work, then do so. Don't lump things together incorrectly then claim market share equals employment, because that is not true. And don't lump companies that are competitors as one entity then claim there are not options.

Even at a non-FAANG (or even a non-software-focused company for that matter), I've found it very difficult to entertain external options. The security of multiple years in one place is very hard to give away, especially when your team and managers are willing to work with you on things a new place will quickly frown upon.

If one thing was going to get me (and possibly you) to leave, it would be a company of similar standing (how users interact with the product, amount of public users or private clients, type of product) offering the ideal tech stack for me (you).

Good luck though. Very interested in how you proceed if you decide to make a change

> I was a helicopter pilot, and we all quickly learn that we spend about 5% of our time flying and 95% of our time doing everything else to keep the aircraft and crews capable of flying. We're very curious to see exactly how long the Taliban will be able to keep all those helicopters that we left in Afghanistan in working condition.

I don't think anyone expected them to keep Black Hawks in the air very long, not without spare parts...unless the Chinese can come up with something? Frankly, I'm amazed Iran has kept their F-14s in the air for so long, but they at least have a culture of desk work and logistics.
That engine is totaled.
> People impersonate channel owners and reply to comments on their videos with phishing links

Not only this, YouTube literally allows scammers to run ads and you can't report it. I saw an ad with Mr. Beast pop up offering $1,000 to the first X people to click on it. I clicked, because it sounds like something he would do and I was curious and figured YouTube wouldn't let a scammer advertise. Once I landed on the page it was immediately clear from the domain that it was a scam, but the page looked legit. It's astounding that YouTube is alright with openly running scammers ads for them.
Fox calls itself "Fox News". Only when they're pressed and presented with evidence that they're liars will they hide behind "That's okay, this is all just entertainment!" excuses. Their viewers don't think they're watching made up stories for entertainment. They're convinced that Fox/OAN are the only news agencies that tell the truth.
The terrible PWM drivers add another downside - At the frequencies in question the peaks are long enough to increase the retina-stabbing factor much higher than the average brightness, even if they're not long enough to cause noticable strobing. Smoothing capacitors as an aftermarket QOL option is a market that needs to exist.

However, poor (or nonexistent) light source shrouding is also a common factor. Bicycle headlights make a great lower-powered example. Cheap bicycle headlights throw much less light than a car headlight but are painfully blinding due to the exposed light source point. Bicycle headlights that meet StVZO regulations shroud the light source, have decent optical design, are far more effective as headlights, and don't make anyones eyes bleed even when they're flashing.

Early composite car headlights (post sealed beam) received significant design investment involving established headlight manufacturers and worked extremely well. Auto manufacturers brought headlight design in-house by the time xenon and HID headlights showed up in general use; inexperience and cost avoidance gave those lights an undeserved reputation. A lack of regulatory outcomes rewarded that strategy, leading even established composite headlight quality to decline. Light source shrouds disappeared or became ineffective due to poor reflector design.

Headlights on new cars in the US market have declined to the point that they're effectively overpowered cheap bicycle headlights plus extra PWM induced stabbiness, while costing orders of magnitude more as a result of cost cutting. The worst have returned to sealed beam levels of utility, but at least there were aftermarket options to improve sealed beams. Modern aftermarket lights are so bad that it's normal for drivers to install them for malice against other drivers with blinding stock headlights. There really aren't any optically well designed headlights on the US market any more, except for bicycles.

The dislike button is still there, they just don’t want to show the results to advertisers. If advertisers can see the ratio, they start complaining about being associated with “problematic “ content.

They probably want to show viewers, but you can’t reveal the stats to only one group.

The UK has some strange leftover laws about radio communication. Recently there was a post here about their system of TV detector vans to collect license fees for public television (something most sensible countries have put into their normal taxes a long time ago). And the UK for example is also missing from Live ATC because listening to (open, unencrypted) ATC communications is illegal there.

An airliner can completely lose a single engine in flight without much of a problem. But the engine in that picture is significantly damaged.
Chaos = opportunity to create order.

Ambiguity = opportunity to create clarity.

Disagreement = opportunity to create alignment, e.g. on goals and non-goals (but not consensus)

Creating order, clarity, alignment is a sign of leadership.
Influence > Authority. The former is a sign of leadership.

Not everyone needs to agree. Not everyone needs to be satisfied. Be OK with that.
Well, but, how hard could it be for the world's best resourced intelligence agencies to fake that data? Come on, man.
I've not had any FSD issues on the highway besides phantom braking, it keeps lanes correctly, safely adjusts to traffic speeds and it merges into offramp lane without issue (though it still makes me nervous), once it gets into city streets though...
Isn't this by definition a problem all new legislation is facing. We can't have good evidence whether something new works before it's tried. (and arguably even after a new policy has been introduced, it's pretty hard)
Exactly the same as Etsy. Last time my wife complained that even though the page states that the $100 item is located in the US, it dispatched from China. Sure enough, when I reverse image searched the product image, Aliexpress came up, with $20 as the listing price. Exact same images, even the wording was very similar. (And of course, with further digging, the original website came up, with their original product that the other sellers copied - with much better materials, a price tag of $350).

Etsy was real cool when it was a bazaar of small handmade items, and such. Now it's chock full of same garbage you can get on any large ecommerce site.
> it does raise serious questions as to is the models used for autonomous cars could also "hallucinate" and do something stupid "on purpose"...

It doesn't because Tesla's FSD model is just a rules engine with an RGB camera. There's not "purpose" to any hallucination. It would just be a misread of sensors and input.

Tesla's FSD just doesn't work. The model is not sentient. It's not even a Transformer (in both the machine learning and Hasbro sense).

Not doing much at all is a damn sight better than doing nothing, which appears to have been the case here.

China’s EV battle 2022: why BYD is leaving Tesla and Xpeng in the dust
Well, since the Fogbeam Labs offices are my home at the moment, the answer is "yes" as a I have pretty extensive personal library. I don't have all my books cataloged (shame, shame, I know) so I don't have an exact count of how many books I have, but it's somewhere over 1000 based on the last "back of the envelope" calculation I did. And I've bought more than a few book since I did that calculation.

Sadly I'm pretty much out of room for books at this point, and I've actually had to pack up a few and put them in a storage unit. My "dream" home would include a library large enough for all of my books and some room to grow. :-)

And when we finally have an actual corporate office, there will probably be a library there as well. One day...
I did not hear about VanMoof earlier but my buddy called police (Amsterdam area of course) once when he found his bike and he wanted to be good citizen so he did not want to just steal it back from some backyard.

Well police helped him recover the bike without arresting anyone and told him next time he should just steal it back and don't bother them.
Yes. I read the article and thought, no shit. Given that most people ride cheap bikes it doesn't really make sense to transport them to somewhere else and it might just incur additional operational risk. Much easier to just resell them back into the same city.

Which also explains why the 2K electric bike is taken somewhere else – if you tried to sell it in the same town there's higher chances the owners find out about it (like from a Facebook posting) and involve the police. Understanding that the police don't work super well across district lines seems to have solved this problem for the thieves here (and created problems for everyone else instead).

There's nothing wrong with research like this per se. I think the way it's publicised is the main issue. Broadly I think there are two types of papers: those who are only relevant to other researchers, and those who are interesting to the public as a whole. This is very much in the former category.
First of all, clinical trials are typically longer and more thorough than you imagine, they span years. The fact that COVID vaccines were fast-tracked gives people wrong idea about it.

Secondly, even after the product hits the market the company is still responsible for tracking any possible adverse effects. They have a hotline where a patient or doctor can report it, and every single employee or contractor (including receptionists, cleaning staff, etc.) is taught to report such events through proper internal channels if they accidentaly learn about them.
Wow man, good for you!

Europe: I feel sorry for you.

USA: I don’t think about you at all.
The US has by far the largest trade deficit in the world. It's a net consumer, because it can print dollars. It is not remotely the most powerful productive economy on a per-capita basis.
It does have Navigate on Autopilot (and Auto Lane Change), and on long trips, it's been able to switch lanes & take the correct exit to switch to a different highway, etc. It pretty much let me daydream / think about other stuff while on the highway while keeping a finger on the steering wheel.

Sadly, it does shut itself off as soon as you're off a highway however. (That's where FSD would hypothetically come in, once the beta is ready, with "Autosteer on city streets").

In terms of value for money:

- I'd say Auto Lane Change is worth $1,500.

- Navigate on Autopilot is worth another $1,500.

- Autopark is worth $1,000.

- Smart Summon is worth $5,00

Overall, Enhanced Autopilot is worth at least $4,500 methinks.

Throw in $1,500 as a profit margin (or Elon tax), so he can burn some dinosaurs for his private jet flights, the $6,000 Enhanced Autopilot price point makes sense.

FSD, otoh, is absolutely not worth it.
If you read the linked article, you will find that the United States has laws that waive sovereign immunity for torts committed by people acting on behalf of the federal government. Which is what I assume would be alleged here.

That doesn't mean that they would win such a lawsuit, however.
This is really cool and promising product! So many times when I was getting a google docs spreadsheet from non-engineering folks I was wondering if only I can embed a small jupyter notebook with a few python cells and a nice looking pandas chart, using this data.. Congrats on the launch!
Likewise. The only bizarre behavior I see is "looney tunes" style confusion where the road construction crews have left old lanes in place that steer into a wall or off the road. Humans mostly understand that these are lines lazy construction crews have left (although the debris fields near the barriers maybe tell a different story), but the Tesla vision model likes to try to follow them.
Same, but multiplayer won't be in the initial release :(

I wish all the ink spilled on controversy over Tesla would instead be spilled on doing basic safety improvement to the road system that are cheap and proven to save many lives.

Lets be real here, automated driving or not, having actually save roads helps prevent death and harm in many cases.

The hyper focus on high tech software by all the agencies engaged in 'automotive security' is totally wrongly focused. What they should actually do is point out how insanely unsafe and broken the infrastructure is, specially for people outside of cars.

Association of Covid-19 with Risk for Incident Diabetes After Infection
I pulled “vaccination” and a second “COVID-19” out of the title because it was too long for field. But the intro I pasted below from the paper’s introduction is a good summary. There’s no separate abstract.

“In early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, persons who recovered from infection had increased risks for new-onset cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.1-3 In the current pandemic phase, which is dominated by less virulent Omicron variants,4 it remains unclear whether risks of cardiometabolic disease after COVID-19 infection persist or have become attenuated and whether vaccination status is associated with these risks.“
Your link does say: "Early binary computers aimed at the same market therefore often used a 36-bit word length. This was long enough to represent positive and negative integers to an accuracy of ten decimal digits (35 bits would have been the minimum). It also allowed the storage of six alphanumeric characters encoded in a six-bit character code."

Which helps a little, but it still begs the question: why ten decimal digits? Why not nine or eleven or something?

Are they implying that six characters of six bits was the critical issue? If so, why not seven characters? Or five? Etc.
There is concept called a "lie of omission". I did not invent that term - it's older than you and i combined. Intentionally witholding information to deceive a person has long been considered a lie.

There is a difference between telling a lie and being mistaken, no? If you are learning something and give the wrong answer on a quiz, are you lying? Both of those are falsehoods that aren't intending to deceive, and most people wouldn't count those as lies.

The word lie, requires an intent to deceive.
I strongly feel people ought to have these discussions while consistently citing actual data sources relevant to the discussion.

For example, did you predict, based on the speculation of Tesla being incompetent with regard to safety, that they have the lowest probability of injury scores of any car manufacturer? Because they do.

Did you predict, based on speculation about Elon Musk's incompetence in predicting that self-driving would happen, that there are millions of self-driving miles each quarter? Because there are.

Did you predict, based on speculation about Tesla incompetence in full self-driving, that the probability of accident per mile is lower rather than higher in cars that have self-driving capabilities? Because they do.

I know this sort of view is very controversial on Hacker News, but I still think it is worth stating, because I think people are actually advocating for policies which kill people because they don't actually know the data disagrees with their assumptions.

I'm glad that there's controls in place to help minimize the issue, but I also know that companies do a good job of making people think that they need to enable settings on their phones that they don't.

That's of course not in Apple's control, it's just a meaningful downside to opening up push notifications to web apps on iOS. The utility for the few apps that can really benefit from this probably outweighs the downsides, but I've seen other people's phones and know it will also, and possibly mostly, only contribute to more spam.

Yes, there'd be way more of them, because the barrier to entry (and justifiable motivation for needing an "app" in the first place) would be even lower.
That engine took at least 150 pounds worth of bony human in, turned them into mulch, and did no damage to the rest of the aircraft. The other engine also remains intact. Pico balloons are measured in grams.

A Mylar balloon isn't going to do anything like that much damage.
Reminds me when I did something similar back around 2008. The motherboard was made by ECS and came with a "Top-Hat" -- essentially a second flash memory chip that you can snap on top of the board. No desoldering required! More details here: https://www.pcstats.com/articles/1835/3.html

Oh neat, I always wanted to be a litterbug and a floating aviation hazard at the same time. If you launch something into the sky, be it a drone or a balloon, you should be responsible for retrieving it.
In LA county you aren't going to want your bike back. It's going to be spraypainted, missing components, thrown in the street, and perhaps made into a load bearing wall of someones ramshackle roadside home. Just insure your bike so you can write it off and get a new one without too much trouble or stress.
