Elon Musk claims Tesla will have 1M robotaxis on roads next year, bu(2019
Commuting is sitting in a car for 90%+ of Americans.
I remember when Twitter rewrote the code in Java because Ruby wasn't suited for the task. Probably this will happen to many large Python code bases in the future.
I don’t see why that’s relevant with the topic of reducing consumption of certain rare elements. Then failing at some of the goals shouldn’t detract from what has been accomplished. And if the end result is just electric cars that don’t use rara elements I think that’s a good thing, even without robotaxis

Would you kindly provide some examples? Would this be jobs like welding? I just never heard this term.
Garbages keep growing, too.

It's really hard to trace a Python bug based on codebase, due to its stricly bugly indentation sensitive for space/tabs.

I rather work on a JS codebase than a python codebase.

But i consider Python coders genius, because they can go deep into rabbit hole really well.
I believe something like this is technically the law here as well. But it goes completely unenforced.
It is important to understand that everyone has sometimes escape phantasies (teachers, therapists, baristas, founders, medical doctors, professors, developers, etc., they all do) because something is making them truly unhappy in their day-to-day job and they assume other people happier. Finding about the root cause what makes you unhappy will usually lead to more satisfying results than just running after to become a farmer or woodchopper because it has nothing to do with "computers". Sometimes the answer is to switch roles but more often than not you still haven't tackled the underlying issues and the misery starts again.
This is wonderful. Thank you!
Jeebus! --what's with the repulsive Anime/Manga avatars?

Am I the only person in the world who finds them nauseatingly repulsive? They're like the illustrations of simpering puppies and kittens on the sick-making birthday cards your granny used to buy you... only with the eyes even more idiotically huge, massive tits stuck on and dressed like an elf doing a Britney Spears impersonation.

Call me judgemental if you want. but anyone who wanks off to that seriously needs to put down the laptop, come out of their foetid bedroom and meet some real people.

That's not how EU works, I know, I worked for them.

That's false.

Everything is online on the EU website, it's no use to lie about it when everyone can read the original regulation directly from the source.

> Hardly anyone in Europe takes it seriously which is reflected in its composition…

That's utter bullshit, your misinformation doesn't work here.
Your OS, the linear algebra libraries themselves, much of the user-facing software that you use (latency sensitive rather than throughput sensitive), image/video encoding/decoding, most of the language runtimes that you use, high volume webservers, high volume data processing (where your data is not already some nice flat list of numbers you're operating on with tensor operations), for some examples.

Really, for almost any X, somebody somewhere has to do X with strict performance requirements (or at very large scale, so better perf == savings)

Most of these python libraries are only fast for relatively large and relatively standard operations in the first place. If you have a lot of small/weird computations, they come with a ton of overhead. I've personally had to write my own fast linear algebra libraries since our hot loop was a sort of modified tropical algebra once.
It actually could be pretty lucrative. Not only have they gotten VW out of the mix, but they can renegotiate the salaries and stock options again. The market for talent is very, very different now. And all of those old options that the Argo people took during their first n years? They're now worthless so the management doesn't have to share ownership with them either.

This could have been entirely driven by business considerations.
Doesn't it need to be GPU ram?
I did this 15-20 years ago. I had a small internet/consulting business that I ran out of my house, with a full T1 mind you lol. Got tired of staring at the walls and tired of the f'king servers that chained me down.

An error message from a server while in the car going on a small vacation triggered the change. I had enough. So on the spot I thought of my options and decided on becoming a trucker.

My first aim was to do long haul but I never went that way. I got hired to do local LTL deliveries/pick ups and I loved it. For me it's hard to beat driving a truck when it's nice outside. Winter can be a bitch but you learn manage.

Constantly going in and out of the truck got me and keeps me in shape. I lost 100lbs and feel much better than the fat slob I used to be, tied to the keyboard. It also help that I bike to work (not in winter though).

Took a real pay cut but I would never go back. I don't think I can anyway. I started programming again a couple of years ago on personal projects and I love it. I realize that my skills are greatly diminished but it's still fun to find solutions to problems, fix the damn bugs lol, and be proud of the final product.
Ask HN: What is the gnarliest bug you have ever encountered?
Dropped out of tech, arguably more by force than choice. My lifestyle, finances, social life, even country of residence (and by extension my love life) were all balanced on top of that little MacBook Pro. Used it for work, used it to socialize, eventually my brain refused to let me mediate my entire life through a computer any longer and I burned out. Now I work at a hotel! Receptionist, barista, waiter, even some maintenance and housekeeping when there’s a need for an extra pair of hands. It covers my needs financially and I get to interact with dozens of new people on a daily basis, which has proven absurdly healthy for me. Still “do tech” in my spare time, but now there’s no pressure, only desire. It’s better for me, but I would hesitate to generally recommend this model of “become sustainable outside of tech and then dip your toes in as you like” - it probably only works because I have previous tech experience, and I am far less productive now as well. But maybe it is not a bad idea for techies burning out.

(Human, manual) moderation doesn't scale. HN has just enough automatic algorithmic blocks and users flagging incoming spam. It has drawbacks, for example missing good content because the number of submissions can be higher than users watching the /new queue, example from an hour ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35008506

Anything that doesn't require high performance that is. Is there any 3D game engine for python yet? I guess Godot has gdscript which is 90% python by syntax, but that doesn't quite count I think.

> They just approve what’s sent to them.

They can say no, the same way electors could vote whoever they like as president of the USA.

It doesn't make the POTUS any less an elected figure.

p.s. EU single state Parliaments are elected too, they don't come from space.
Yes, but in the US, pay usually stops immediately when the login stops working. In much of the developed world there's a guaranteed notice period and severance, and often limitations on what situations you can fire for.
English has "handicapped" which is similar and also became offensive. I thought it was a good word because it allowed for more nuance than the binary abled/disabled.
I guess they're used to getting their way regardless of whatever language they express it in. After all, "holding the bag"? Developers are certainly holding one kind of bag, but since we're already talking about Cucumber, I don't think that expression necessarily means the same thing to all people.
I used to work in the industry for 9 years, got disillusioned working in tech and I moved to food, I've been working as a cook for the last 2 and a half years, it's something i wanted to do when i left high school and i always kept an avid interest in cooking while I had a tech job. Overall I think it's become more stressful for sure but I have found more meaning to my work, status and finance wise i would say its a completely different story, It's been very difficult trying to run my business and survive but i am trying my best, the economy hasn't been good. Also with regards to status, it's something that i never thought about previously but it has affected my dating and social life, people treat you very differently..
There are many things that make HN easy to moderate compared to others.

It is not that big. When I’ve gotten out of line I’ve heard from dang personally.

It doesn’t take pictures, which eliminates a range of trouble from stupid image memes to child pornography.

It doesn’t have advertising. If you have advertising you have to worry about 1-in-10,000 and rarer events such beheading videos (caused a crisis for Youtube), dead nazis (caused a crisis for my site), etc.

Dang has automated assistance that you probably don’t see. I trained a model to predict if posts were flagged and found it was shockingly accurate because there already is a model that nukes spam posts so fast you never see them and my model learned to do what that model does.
No One Saw Tesla’s Solar Roof Coming (2016)
"That's not programming, that's just calling libc with an unpleasant interface"
It's definitely the best language for quick scripting and multi-os tools that requires some code organization, probably not for scaling stuff.
It seems biased. Tesla exaggerated claims feel scammy, but at least they have a product out there. None of these “leaders” have something you can test yourself.
The OP was about NZ, and richardjam73 said "this country" so I though the comment was about NZ.

I made a quick search in the previous comments of richardjam73 and I see no location, so my second guess is that richardjam73 is from USA like 50% people here. Also, my guess is people not from NZ nor USA would say which country they were talking about.

The problem is that migration to America was like 16000 years ago, no tens of thousands of years ago. (And there was also a quite simultaneous megafauna extinction.) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Early_mi...

Thinking about it again, Australia may be a good third guess.
> But it does show what software is generally better.

Have you not been giving the pep talk, "if everyone jumped off a building...", as kid ?
I took early retirement from an office-based software consultancy job (aged 59) and started volunteering at a Raptor conservancy two days a week. It gave me a level of social contact - with the staff and other volunteers - that I liked and also meant working outdoors in all weathers, sometimes dealing with the general public. As I spent more time there I learned the ropes and could essentially just pitch up and find something to do. I was also trusted to work with the birds: not just de-pooping aviaries but helping to fly them in displays. And to monitor work experience students, and help host 'VIP' experience days, where paying members of the public (amazingly) saw me as having some expertise with the birds.

The downside was that I lost money doing it (transport costs and no pay) and some of the tasks were mundane and / or physically uncomfortable (e.g. cleaning waterbowls on a cold rainy January day). But overall I loved it, partly because the birds and environment were so appealing, but also because compared with my old life, when I went home at the end of the day, I had no keep-you-awake-at-night responsibilities to worry about. I was also really pleased to have progressed in a new 'career' where my old status and technical skills counted for nothing, and I had to earn trust from the much younger bird team by pitching in and doing physical stuff. This was for me the best thing.

I did for 2 years. Than I realized how much more tech pays. Then I went back.

Countrary to the popular opinion, I believe people tend to underestimate how much money they really need, until they (or their family) need medical care.

I’m not proud of it but I really hate black olives and really wanted that extra 10% of pizza.
Because executives either own the business or are given huge bonuses / shares.

One can create a their own business, place themselves in driving seat as an executive and also reap in the rewards.

Sure there is the "90% of startups fail", but either way you own the business and can choose to pay yourself a high salary.
Personally I apply the "how would I feel about this page being printed out and laying on my boss's desk" test to every site I visit at work.
Well at least 10x, sometimes more. Not really surprising when you think about that it's a VM reading and parsing your code as a string at runtime.

Every job I ever had in tech was basically terrible and I was never diagnosed, but I suspect was clinically depressed for the 13 years or so I was in tech.

I did not have the savings to do it, but I eventually quit and became a bicycle mechanic. I actually enjoy what I do now, and the work environment doesn't have me constantly jumping back and forth between panic, undirected rage, and extreme listlessness like tech always did. That being said, I'm now broke and probably going to lose my house, so there is that.
It's not an overkill. He spent 12 minutes developing the solution and then 5 more minutes for actual sending of 125 emails. That's 17 minutes in total.

I assume doing the same task manually would take him at least a day or two, with the possibility of making numerous mistakes by doing it.
Hypothetically, what would the consequences be if I ran this on my university's computing cluster?
I don't think that's a bad thing. Qualcomm absolutely dominates high-end modem chips right now and, if Apple can pull it off, competition will be good for the industry.

Only the Chinese (Huawei/HiSilicon) have come close to challenging Qualcomm in recent years, until they got shut down by US import restrictions and seem to have given up at this point.
I think it's more likely they don't proofread and wrote the post on their phone.
I think the issue is that nobody really knows the dosage of street or darkweb tabs. Like, its so incredibly inconsistent, and I've had that from one card where one time two tabs give me a similar experience to the author (only I enjoy the ego deaths), and sometime it feels like I've not taken enough. And it wouldn't have been tolerance; I'm experienced with psychedelics, but I don't take them often. I've had bad trips too, but alas.
... and Python _became_ the default tool because the de facto developer consensus (after years of competing languages) is that an interpreted language should

= be usable, and

= provide a set of data structures that an educated programmer *expects to find when scripting*.

Python literally sucked less than the alternatives.
Yes. I've been in tech for almost 5yrs though the salary is suitable for a living. But I felt empty each day. I've been bored and lack energy. I can't do what I must like. And then I finally found what a job is for me. I feel free, and I love what I'm doing. Been almost 2yrs here for fruit picking. I enjoy my job, and it gives me peace of mind.

Disallusioned with Julia anyone got thoughts on Carbon?
Hi all
we've examined Julia for a while now and decided it's time to move on. Anyone looked at Carbon? Maybe moving on from Python, ObjectiveC or C++.
This is a laugh.

Senior devs aren’t paid peanuts.
Execs are paid more than senior devs, often by obscene amounts.
Many senior devs are still sufficiently out of touch to think that this means they deserve more rather than execs deserving less.

Silicon Valley and California in general just make it all the more silly.

This whole thing smells like an attempt to light a fire. At best. Very well.
I think you're missing my point. They were both presented as facts and discussion online was (and still is in the case if Ukraine) presented as such. The only way to move past those types of bottlenecks is through discussion. "Looking it up" will likely give you an answer that doesn't pass the sniff test in a normal discussion.
Taleb calls it the Lindy effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
I had a burnout from tech about 15 years ago, took a year and a bit off for traveling.

Then had to go back to tech but did set clear boundaries like never doing unpaid overtime. Always clocking out at 5pm and not taking any shit.

That made a huge difference and I started enjoying tech again.
It's bafflingly common for someone on this site to say something along the lines of "woke people should stop being woke and instead should listen to my opinions as a minority and change their ways to suit me better because I have special insight into the problems I face that they don't".

Which to most people, is what being woke is.

But I guess if you are on team non-woke and some kind of a minority then things get complicated quickly.
They do it every time, don't they? If my brother and I get a single pizza I know he's getting two thirds of it because his black olives are going to be all over the place and they taste like poison.

I'm currently in the nascent stages of transitioning from software engineering to practicing as a (Christian) spiritual director. I went through a two year training program a few years ago, and spent roughly 5-20 hours a month working with people (5 hours represents the number of individuals I see a month, 20 hours when I facilitating some group retreats through my parish). I'd love to move out of engineering completely in the next few years, but I'm still figuring out how to grow my practice enough to provide enough income. Much of my parish-related work is still done on a volunteer basis. I suspect I will need to find other part-time work to supplement income as a director.

There's also the not-so-small matter of providing good health insurance for my not-yet-adult kids. That change is probably another three to five years down the road.
I’m going to refrain from epistemological instruction but I would recommend you start with the Greeks and at least cover Kant and the analytical philosophers that followed.

The “true” way to answer a proposition is not even remotely as simple as you’ve described.
Get out of big tech. Your performance is probably not as bad as you think it is.

Yes I have been in the same boat and being unemployed was better for my mental health than staying in big tech (as long as you have savings to float you)

> It is so weird, because it adds yet another layer of distance between "us" and the "normal" people.

I like to call normal people "Normies", and with all the terror and hardship they've brought to the world (being the vast majority of the population), while self-righteously pointing their fingers at other people, assigning 100% of the underlying causality to them (usually based on heuristics or blindly accepting the mainstream narrative explanation) it only increases my enjoyment when I'm insulted and downvoted/rate-limited in response.

"We have met the enemy and he is us".

So impressive to see all trading solutions/bots made with Python! What do you think about Julia in this field: I see it as a viable alternative even if it lacks the huge amount of Python libraries?
In my country, the internet was frustratingly slow and expensive. To enjoy online gaming with my friends, we resorted to hosting LAN parties at someone's house. These gatherings were incredibly enjoyable, far surpassing the experience of playing alone online.

Moreover, our LAN parties had an unexpected benefit: we all became TCP/IP network experts. Each of us knew how to construct our cables.
You won't get high performance out of Python directly, but there are a lot of Python libraries that use C or a powerful low level language underneath. The heavy lifting in so much of machine learning is CUDA, but most people involved in ML are writing Python.
