>encourages dangerous behavior by untrained testers on public roads

There are idiots everywhere. The functionality has been locked behind their driver safety score to ensure only responsible drivers can beta test. There's a delusion that it is dangerous based on the amount of press coverage any Tesla involved incident gets.

Do I trust that their car is better at driving than me? No. But is is better than most people on the road. I'd rather be driving near a Tesla than a Prius.
That we can't have a conversation without derailing the thread into America bad territory.
I'm underwhelmed by the article's quality. First, it's an article about a consultancy's opinion of the marketplace. The most said about methodology:

"To come up with the list, Guidehouse weighs factors such as a company's vision, go-to-market and production strategies, partners, tech, commercial readiness, and more. Guidehouse sorts the companies it ranks into four categories: leaders, contenders, challengers, and followers."

Oh dear. How much mere opinion and supposition went into this one I wonder. Did the companies evaluated provide information? Where they even requested to do so? Did only some of them do so? What are the relative weightings of different factors? etc.

Another, perhaps more familiar way to this audience, to read this report is to think about the credibility you'd give to a news article with a title like "Company XYZ Comes in Dead Last in Gartner Group Study". Yes, you know others with important decision making power may weigh such a Gartner Group report in their decisions, but that the report tells you more about the thinking, biases, and objectives of the study authors than anything terribly objective or important about the marketplace itself.
> That's a lot of moral panic about a very small group of people that don't generally win more often (and even your typical examples like Lia Thomas also regularly get beaten by cis women, so the advantage could not be that extradordinary) and mostly compete in college-level sports.

I'm not sure why you think permission to compete should be the default position over denial until we have more robust studies for competitive advantage. We already know testosterone and male puberty conveys inherent advantage, so the default should be to prove no advantage exists before permitting competition.

Only recently has it become clear that about 2 years of HRT eliminates competitive advantage for endurance sports, but that no amount of HRT seems to erase the competitive advantage in power sports of trans women who have gone through male puberty (MMA, power lifting, etc.).

It's a tradeoff.

Google has no incentives to allow an arbitrary component run standalone. Quite the contrary.

What they do get in return for the coupling is that they can evolve the common libraries and code patterns across the board (there are even automated code refactoring tools that help you do massive code changes, automating code review sessions across hundreds and hundreds of teams, with all changes tested against all reverse dependencies etc etc). All this allows for a level of internal code quality that is hard to see elsewhere.

Unless you really care a lot about that one requirement you seem to care about. In that case, yeah, you'd choose a different tradeoff.
It is a mirror taboo. A mirror taboo being something that is brought up by a side, but if the items are reversed, there is no discussion:

- males are falling behind females in reading and math, not mentioned, just females need to stem

- nursing (high pay) is predominantly female, engineering (high pay) is predominantly male, not mentioned on how to get more males into nursing away from previously low pay and dangerous jobs

- males are expected to keep traditional role, females are allowed to change, flip that and see how that goes at your next date.
I kind of feel the euphemism treadmill is the language version of “looking away”.

Blind is stark; powerful; forces me to contemplate the lack of vision - I can’t escape it.

But if I start using “visually challenged” then it’s softer, sounds like a game, challenges can be overcome, this isn’t something I need to worry about.

Electricity costs are basically irrelevant because the cards are so expensive.

A100 cards consume 250w each, with datacenter overheads we will call it 1000 kilowatts for all 2048 cards. 23 days is 552 hours, or 552,000 kilowatt hours total.

Most dataceneters are between 7 and 10 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity. Some are below 4. At 10 cents, that's $53,000 in electricity costs, which is nothing next to $30 million in capital costs.
The ideas behind BDD are sound, but I've never seen it work out in the real world.

In reality we as programmers need to turn what the stakeholders want into code. They will talk in meetings: we better take notes. They will write things down [in English or whatever language they speak], but it won't be code. There will be conflicting requirements, and we as programmers need to understand the topic well enough to make reasonable decisions on the easy stuff, while going back on the harder stuff - easy and hard is as the decision makes see things not as a programmer sees them: better know that too.

Once you figure out what stakeholders want turn it into code. It is useful to have integration tests for scenarios that they care about (some of them are stupid - the last version of an embedded product I worked in had a 5 length array, and it turns out some customers needed 7, and later analysis proved that 7 was the mathematical max anyone would ever want. The current version is C++ using a vector so the potential length is unlimited (limited by free memory), but we still have a test proving 7 works because the mistake in the past burned enough people)

I assume that the relevance is that Tesla's claims don't count for much until they actually deliver. Elon Musk has a long history of misleading people about Tesla. Whether it's embellishment, overestimation of what they can accomplish, or outright lies is up for debate, but the fact remains that they habitually over-promise and under-deliver. I consider him and his companies to be completely untrustworthy. He could be selling water in the desert and I still would never buy another thing from him.

Just like in computer security, home security is best done in layers.

First defense would be a sign advertising that you have a home security system. Second would be actual said security system. Third defense would be a dog with a nice loud scary bark. Fourth and final defense is a gun if someone is brazen enough to ignore and get through the previous layers.

Most gun owners consider self defense with a firearm to be a last resort to save themselves and their families from dangerous individuals. Also, they're normally not that useful for home defense from burglars because they typically wait until you're not home to break in.
Building them would be a challenge, but definitely not an insurmountable one. I’ve worked on a couple of C++ projects at a similar scale to Windows (millions of LOC) and the build systems were a major pain. But a determined engineer with the readme file and no other help could get it building in a week or so.

(This probably says more about how hard it is to build C++ than anything else)

I will stand by the meme characterization. The first links assumes Covid was zoonotic which is a fine assumption but not a high quality conclusion and the second link shows the trend peaking in the 80s and then decreasing. Since the world population was only 60% what it is today, that is strong evidence that at absolute minimum the relationship is nonlinear and perhaps inverts at higher population sizes (as wild biodiversity decreases).

To be quite honest, citing research on a politically polarized topic is not as useful as it used to be.

The political polarization within the academy means that there is a lot of pretty loose research that may get through if it has the appropriate orientation. In practice, you can almost always find (low quality) research supporting one’s position if the position is lefty.

I would hazard to say that a long pause (like weekends) is rest, but a short pause (like a minute) is a distraction.

Short enforced pauses help (me) rest only when the work is a strenuous and extremely simple physical activity, like shoveling dirt. Anything else benefits from longer periods of action, and more thoughtfully scheduled breaks.
Is this true? I've thought a lot about this of whether it's better for domestic or foreign intelligence services to have your data. Like, yeah foreigners likely have less regard for me but it's not like the CIA gives a shit about my life. And they're much more able to act on any information they have compared to the CCP.

That being said, it's probably mostly academic because in reality it's likely that my information is accessible by both types haha
Yes, I started my career outside of the tech industry as an English teacher for IT employees. However, I became increasingly curious about Blockchain and its applications, which eventually led me to transition into this field. I'm now happy to say that my curiosity has paid off, and I'm working in a job that I truly enjoy.

While it was a challenging shift, it was also incredibly rewarding. In fact, I'm now happily employed at Rather Labs, a company that has been instrumental in my career development.

>As for the Replika people, if you genuinely wanted to help them, phrasing your comment in a way that is not quite so inflammatory...

Why are you so bothered that I think these people are idiots?

Since they've apparently rejected real world relationships in favour of relationships with a piss-poor computer programme, they're unlikely to even know, much less care, what I think about them. I'd just be another of those nasty "real world" people --who doesn't slavishly agree with everything they say or think-- that they avoid contact with.

My opinion of them should matter as little to them as their Replika's opinion of me would matter to me [ie. zero]. And, meanwhile, the rest of us can enjoy a good laugh at their expense. Because laughing at things is better than taking life too seriously.

That is true, but there are relatively few real world applications that consist of only those operations. In the example I mentioned below, there where actually some parts of my python rewrite that ended up faster than the original C++ code, but once everything was strung together into a complete application those parts where swamped by the slow parts.
It is great for removing ambiguity, but business executives don't want to think on that level any more than they have to.

Hustle culture is a form of CYA for poor managers. If I, incompetent manager, hammer on my employees to hustle, I can claim I am doing my best to manage my team and any deficiency must be their fault because I've set the standard.

Nevermind that every job is different and the outcomes are measured very differently and sometimes "hustling" or "staying busy" is actually a substandard way of achieving most tasks consistently as the short term benefits of hustling give way to burnout.

Bad managers are asking employees to constantly sprint when business is a marathon. It's a weak form of leadership generally ascribed to the "professional" managers with (only) business school backgrounds who can't understand what their employees actually do nor understand the system of the company as a whole.

It's a classic short term quarterly profits mentality.

Employees have for centuries been doing this sort of thing. Looking busy by optimizing for busyness over actual productivity because they realize managers are only concerned with looking good and skating by, not the actual business outcomes.

Note for those starting a business: design your corporate structure so that middle managers incentives are visibly aligned with the actual success of the company and not with visible working culture. And then set the pace properly.

GPT models weren’t widely popular until November 2022, once OpenAI built a successor of their language models called ChatGPT. As for March 2023 ChatGPT is now officially released with an API and SDK to integrate the model into your products. While there are a plethora of applications on the surface, ChatGPT offers a wide range of improvements for different types of technical and business processes. So here we’ll put to the test the most viable, and see where it gets us.
It feels like the first one. Problem is there are not many opportunities here, mainly failed, almost failed projects from the west, that need to be relocated, otherwise they don't have the money to survive. Thanks.

We know, which is why that line from the CCP is ridiculous every time they say it. You're missing the larger picture, nobody is upset at the people of China. I also don't fault China for doing how they do (I mean, apart from the genocide etc). They have been very successful at leveraging everything they have to pull the nation out of poverty. They did some rotten shit internally and externally to make that happen, but so have most nations.

None of that makes them our friend.

When you imagine the future societal transformation of a particular development, you do so under your understanding of the current zeitgeist. Again, that’s what science fiction is. It helps you formulate your thoughts on the current state of affairs and compare them to what others think.

I’m under no illusion that commenting on an admittedly science fictional scenario on a random web forum will enact societal change. Were I a politician making those points in public, you’d do well to call me out. But I’m not. I’m a random poster on a random website musing on an imagined scenario.

> potentially entertaining

In other words, that’s what I’m doing it for and I see nothing wrong with it. As far as I’m aware I’m not causing harm.

> I'm not sure what insight is to be gained

Respectfully, because you cannot see it does not mean it is not there. Even the simple act of enjoying a conversation is a beneficial outcome. Maybe it will be helpful in the future, maybe it will not, but I don’t think we should only converse when we have a goal in mind. That would be a boring existence.

There are different standard spellings, and pronunciations, in different places. In one dialect region it is "aluminium" (but they don't say "platinium" or "molybdenium"). In another it is "aluminum" (but they don't say "titanum" or "cesum"). It is arbitrary in both regions.
Correct--while the sun sends an enormous amount of free energy our way, it's maddeningly diffuse and requires enormous investments of energy and materials to capture it in a usable and reliable form. The Wynn in Vegas has a 160 acre solar farm in some of the sunniest land in the country and it provides...almost enough energy to power a single large hotel.

None of this is to say that solar power is bad, just that we should have measured expectations.
> Auschwitz was effectively a factory of death. Bombing the gas chambers, crematorium, rail lines might have helped.

I think there's a misunderstanding happening here. You seem to be suggesting Auschwitz get bombed assuming it would not blowing up the Jews (and gypsies, and homosexuals, and others that made the Nazi list of "deviants") being actively imprisoned, which sounds great but would have been unfeasible.
The previous reply doesn't seem to be asking what would be specifically helpfully in blowing up Auschwitz. I think it's unanimous "that factory of death was bad and making it stop is good, " so I think it's more like they're taking into account how dropping bombs in WWII actually worked, which was a pretty imprecise process. Ultimately, bombing Auschwitz would also have blown up the people held prisoner in Auschwitz, and those people might not think being blown up was super helpful for them, regardless of whether Auschwitz was destroyed in the process.
