You aren’t thinking broad enough. Algorithms can run at megahertz, sensors can run at 10s of kilohertz to 10s of Hz, control loops can run at 5Hz. Remote database calls can run of course much longer than that, and then you have very long range planning tasks that can cycle days or weeks depending on deployment. I’d say that’s quite the range.

And you mention queues, yes exactly. Abstract a little more and you get pub sub. Abstract a little more and you have the actor model, which is a lovely way of building resilient, reliable, fault tolerant systems — exactly what we want out of robots.

I like ROS, the library of things you can use to get prototypes running quick is nice, but wish they hadn't rolled its own build system in addition CMake (Catkin) with the concept of packages, while not being a true package manager. Whenever your middleware dictates your build system things start to get pretty messy. My dream for ROS 2 (or maybe 3) is one where ROS does less instead of more - sometimes simpler is better.
Lua comes to mind first, with `setenv`, other languages have similar functionality. I believe this can be done with C#, too.

So many of these comments sound like engineering process flaws.

Everyone's working on their own ROS nodes in isolation....with no thought to eventual integration testing? It doesn't seem like that is a fundamental shortcoming specific to ROS.

There is a term for cooking onions like that: it is "sautee". That specifies the method cooking bbut the "lightly softened, translucent" level is what everybody assumes.

The solution to confusion might be contact everyone using "caramelize" to verify they mean that or sauteing.

I see people coming to Rust from all angles. It’s a nice sweet spot. I came to it from Haskell and on my team of three the other two devs came to Rust from C++. I can opine the motivation looks something like this:

* From Haskell - looking for a strong type system (with sum types, typeclasses) but is “widely accepted”. No GC.

* From C++ - looking for low-level capabilities (pointers, references) with improved safety. Improved manual memory management.

* From Python/JS - looking for performance with a familiar feeling ecosystem and a welcoming community

I think the Python and JS folks will have the hardest go of it, but they also have the most to gain.

Hmm, but then you have to trust 1) github, 2) anyone with commit access to that repository.

It's not the worst thing I suppose: #1 is a problem anyway for trusting Google/Mozilla's repo of audits, and #2 can be noticed by others so hard to pull of some supply chain attack that way.

But I would still feel more confident if the audit log contained a copy of the checksum, and ideally itself was signed with author's keys.

While it is true that there are other modes of emergency communications, AM radio relies on nearly zero infrastructure integrity.

As long as a broadcast station has diesel or batteries and hasn’t burned to the ground, it can continue to deliver urgent and life saving information to millions of people over hundreds of kilometers, despite the complete failure of all other intermediary infrastructure.

An high quality AM radio costs about 25 cents to integrate into existing infotainment systems, plus the cost of the coax and antenna. Realistically speaking, we are talking about less than 5 dollars in additional expense at scale.

That’s cheap for a communication system that is extremely robust in the face of the worst possible types of disasters and emergencies.

Cell phone and data networks are fragile by comparison and subject to congestion and other issues. An AM radio in every cellphone would be a software-only fix, as long as you used the headphone or charging cable as an antenna lead.

Software defined radio means just about any modern microcontroller can act as a radio receiver over a broad spectrum of wavelengths for Pennie’s in additional components.

This is about capture of the infotainment environment in vehicles, not the one to five dollars needed to include AM broadcast technology.
If the level of determinism is truly the same then I think that might play into the argument that AI output is indeed a statistical collage. And yes, human output might be as well but the burden of proof would be on the other side of the court. I'd really be careful with the parallels because I think we can agree that compilers don't work like LLMs. The output of a compiler isn't related to the previous programs it compiled in form of training data - so there is no fair use or not fair use question here. Dealing with something without precedence means we can't point to something else and expect an exact match.

That bet didn't make sense even if Balaji was right; he could have bought 40 BTC instead of putting $1M into escrow. Then he would have made 40x the returns if he was right, and would have 1.03x his investment now even though he was wrong. It can really only be interpreted as a publicity stunt, possibly to pump BTC.

> We are #37 according to the world health organization and we cost twice as much.

Note that ranks alone are not sufficient to evaluate this comparison. If the top 40 countries for Healthcare outcomes all had near-equivalent mortality rates, e.g., it wouldn't necessarily be a problem to be #37.

That said, they don't have equivalent mortality rates, so the ranks do happen to discriminate quite a bit.
> No they're not.

Yes, they are.

But rather than merely gainsay, I'll support that by observing:

a) here in Australia we regularly, consistently, have zero school shootings each year. Can recommend.

b) you are probably misunderstanding the meaning of regular, and conflating it with frequent.

Halley's Comet is regular - at once every ~76 years. But obviously not frequent.

(I'd argue, as per (a), that the USA has too high a frequency of school shootings as well. If your tolerance for slaughtered children is higher than mine you may disagree with that claim.)

The red paint on recent Mazdas specifically - I stop and stare every time.
This is relatively easy to handle for e.g. family sharing for Apple - everyone uses the same billing method, so it's naturally limited to people where you feel comfortable covering the cost of all their Apple digital purchases.

Netflix has no such "real-world" limit to apply that naturally covers students and other dependants, so they seem stuck with various contrived options.

I feel like # of simultaneous streams really ought to have been the natural limiter. If you're allowed two streams, it doesn't make a difference in the real world whether the two streams are to the same physical house or not.
Golang is IMO the best applications language. Most of my criticisms of it would be that it makes some systemsy things clunky, and because of garbage collection it just isn’t ideal for some systemsy stuff.

I personally hate the empty interface and definition shadowing of Go but that could be just me not “getting it”. Fortunately at work we don’t use that too often

I think most of the criticism is from people like me coming from C++. I am continually baffled that people write web backends in Python and Node at all, to me they seem so inappropriate that criticizing them would be a waste of time. I would consider Go to be much much better overall, and thus worthy of actual criticism
Like most people, I've done lots of configuration of computers and networks over the years, none of which has any relation to writing code. It's more like if you're a mathematician and someone wants you to help with their taxes.

Otoh, anyone who has built a product has essentially done what you're suggesting, noticed a bad situation and used software to solve it, so I don't find it that depressing.

I've also got a lot of carpentry experience, that's definitely had more of a use in the way you're suggesting.

I hope you understand and just decided to pretend not to that _social_ isolation is not about physical isolation or boredom or having free time with nothing to do.

Bear in mind QUIC was primarily designed to improve advertisement penetration by making it harder for good actors to interdict and remove bad domains. (Something like dns-over-http/3 is, allegedly, referred to internally at Google as the anti-Pi-hole)

I own a Linnstrument. I used to own a Push 2. They're very different.

Everything has (or will eventually have) MPE so everyone is "just building Linnstruments", just like everyone has been "just building MPCs".

The touch interface of the Linnstrument has limitations that the Push probably doesn't. For example, the Linnstrument can register no more than three simultaneous touches in a single column.

The other problem is that forums are divided into threads that each progress in a linear fashion, while comment trees inevitably fragment into a thousand sub-discussions each regurgitating the same points and arguments over and over in slightly different form. It's certainly possible to be "jumped on" in a forum but if three people are making the same argument you can quote them all and make one reply which rebuts the point. It's effectively impossible for comment-tree discussions to come to any consensus except via mob-rule. There will always be someone else wading in with the same argument and someone else rebutting the point in the same fashion and being rebutted in turn.

Comment-tree discussions, especially gamified ones with "points" etc certainly are compelling, they're literally designed to be an endless quicksand for argumentation and gratification, which is why they've taken over. They're fun. But they are awful for reaching a consensus.

Also yes, suppressing dissident voices so that nobody can even read objections and counterarguments is the worst part about Reddit. That model barely even works here (politics discussions inevitably end up in a dogpile of flags and downvotes) with norms around not abusing your buttons, but it absolutely does not work in a mass-market social media site with hundreds of millions of users.
> Genuine question..

There have been about a hundred “why Go”/“why not Go” threads on Hacker News already.
People are getting confused by the number posted which is badly distorting the discussion. 51 is NOT the number of intentional massacres of students or staff. It is the number of shootings on school grounds of all types _including accidents_.

Here is a real example from the list: "A student was shot and injured when a sheriff’s deputy’s gun accidentally discharged in a classroom during a law enforcement vocational training."

Another: "A male student shot and injured an 18-year-old student. Police say the shooting appeared to have resulted from a dispute between the students."

Read down the list and most are accidents, or take place outside the school (e.g. in parking lots) between 2-3 people. These are accidents and individual beefs between students. They have nothing to do with mass murder. They don't involve anyone outside the students concerned. You could be a student at a school during one of these "school shootings" and not even be aware of it.

It's why the _total_ number of deaths is only 40 (!) from those 51 shootings. 8 of those were teachers so the total number of student deaths was only 32.

"School shootings" in the sense of intentional mass murders are nearly nonexistent. The overwhelming majority of damage related to these events is caused by the media and institutions irresponsibly generating fear that creates real psychological problems and distorts decision-making. The fact that so many here on all sides seem to think that intentional massacres could possibly be happening on a weekly basis in America is a testament to the distortionary power of the media. The reality is simply nothing like that.
I'm on the vendor bandwagon; always have been. I don't want a github outage to dictate when I can build/deploy. Yes, that happened. That is why we vendor :).

Now you can set up a proxy server; however, I don't want to do that. I'm pretty sure I have a few vendored packages that no longer exist at their original import path. For code reviews, we put off checking in the vendor path til the end if possible.

With the boss mentioning multiple times that he wants end to end AI - ie. pixels in, steering angle out, I think this may change quickly.

Nobody else has managed to get end to end AI working, but this sort of stuff scales with training data, and tesla has the opportunity to collect far more than any other manufacturer, with possibly 1000x the number of cars collecting video data of the next closest competitor.

And the thing about end to end AI is I suspect that if anyone can get it working at all, it may not have the issues with the long tail of unusual situations that other approaches have. Things like "Someone has drawn a picture of a bear on the road in chalk, should I drive over it or around it?" might be answered better by the end to end system than a rules based system.

If all of those things work out, then Tesla will win this race. Otherwise, they'll lose.
I'm sorry but do you really expect engineers to create workflows on the graphical interface by clicking a button, choose from options, choose conditions and iterators ?

Your target audience - SRE Teams are engineers who would give up on using this in five minutes.

Plenty of very exciting anti-aging research going on right now without subjecting your child to plasmapheresis.

For context I donate plasma twice a week. It's a 16-gauge needle and for a healthy young person like myself it takes 40 minutes or so each time. You eventually scar as your skin can't heal that quickly. People have asked me if I use heroin because of those two scars, one in each inner elbow. To think people would use something that literally already saves lives to maybe prolong their lives based on mouse trials where the mice were literally stitched together to share circulatory systems is plain evil.

Please consider donating plasma if you are healthy. It does remove some PFAS from your blood if you need an incentive besides the money. It takes multiple donations to make enough medicine for one patient.

"You are quite right, I changed my mind and do no longer speak of “radical evil.” … It is indeed my opinion now that evil is never “radical,” that it is only extreme, and that it possesses neither depth nor any demonic dimension. It can overgrow and lay waste the whole world precisely because it spreads like a fungus on the surface. It is “thought-defying,” as I said, because thought tries to reach some depth, to go to the roots, and the moment it concerns itself with evil, it is frustrated because there is nothing. That is its “banality.” Only the good has depth that can be radical." - Hannah Arendt

My friend was trying to get support for a software bug with his young daughter's electric wheelchair. He had submitted the support form on the manufacturer's site and not heard anything back in weeks.

He wanted to know if I could help with the wheel chair, I could not. However, I filled out and submitted
support form with the inspector open. The ajax response was an HTTP 500 database error but the inept UI said "Thanks for Contacting Us" indicating success.

I contacted them about it via Twitter and they straightened it out and got in contact with my friend within a couple days.
