Absolutely, however holding the entire fleet responsible for the number of faults that would disqualify a single driver also seems wrong. If a taxi driver drives 8 hours a day, then 10 robotaxis will drive 80 hours in that same day and statistically be subject to perform 10x the number of faults, if we're holding them to the same standard.

Now, if 12 points loses your license, you have 10 cars, and rack up 120 points across the fleet, it seems obvious that on the whole the fleet is performing worse than a fleet of human drivers we would otherwise ban.

Not an easy problem, to be sure. On one hand, companies can't be allowed free reign to clog up the roads and cause havoc without consequence. On the other, if we NIMBY the development too much, we will be stuck behind countries that don't. In my opinion, we're near the right balance but probably need to take some short term action to make it clear to companies that a remedy for the current behavior around emergency vehicles needs to be priority 0.
Some simple infrastructure could help with this. A no-fly zone for robo-stuff that travels with fire engines for instance. Require all robo companies to respect these zones. Radio or something.
> If a robo-taxi causes material harm, sue the operator for some multiple of the cost of the harm.

There haven’t been many cases of actual harm. This article pretty much lists out situations which could cause harm but didn’t, due to factors out of the operator’s or fire department’s control.
Can you clarify how you would normally switch tabs and why that's difficult? If I open up a bunch of `+page.svelte` files I see them as "+page.svelte ../docs" or "+page.svelte ../blog" and so it's fairly obvious which one is which to me. Longer-term, I think we can tweak VS Code to get rid of the duplicate "+page.svelte" part as it is duplicative and unnecessary, but I don't find it unworkable at the moment. I'm wondering if it's simply that we have different tolerances for this or if there's something else going on in some cases.

Some people have mentioned liking to set the label format to short under File > Preferences > Settings and then search for Label Format.
My assumption is that hearing this kind of long distance noise is well within the laws of physics and what we know of the U.S.'s capability. So I don't see this as "additional capability", but rather, am asking from a mindset of "How did they not hear a suspicious sound at the time of the missing sub?"

Whether they did or not, nothing would presumably change about the Coast Guard conducting search-and-rescue/recovery operations (since they still don't know for sure what happened). Worth pointing out that private explorers, led by Richard Garriott (aka Lord British, apparently), complained that they had optimal rescue equipment but got pushback from the U.S. officials:

https://archive.is/HXtFn

> “Magellan has received mixed signals, first hearing from US Gov to get ready, waiting for plans, then getting told to stand down,” Garriott wrote in an email sent to Vice Admiral William Galanis, commander of Naval Sea Systems Command, U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John W. Mauger, who is leading the recovery mission, Congressman Lloyd Doggett, and Representative Eric Swalwell on Wednesday afternoon.

Again, hard to know if this is just standard operating procedure or not. If it's the case the U.S. govt already had things figured out by now, then it makes sense they weren't going to expedite Garriot's group, given that the search effort had already resulted in the loss of 1 (maybe 2) search vehicles:

> In addition, at least one ROV, possibly two, was damaged or destroyed during the search-and-rescue mission—a testament to the difficult conditions currently facing rescuers.
Not the parent, but thank you for the recommendation. It’s a great read.
Do you work in advertising?

Edit: seems not according to your profile, but it certainly does sound like it's written by an advertiser "connecting" people to products and carefully ignoring the fact that once a person has been "introduced" once they don't need to be "introduced" to it multiple times a day forever after.

Edit 2: "Oh neat, that thing solves a problem or desire I have" - just like the tobacco industry solve the problem of widespread nicotine deficiency.
I think they are rather forms of parallel projection (where farther objects aren't smaller, unlike perspective projection) combined with forced perspective, where things look locally connected from a specific angle:

Since you’re interested in more opinions I’ll toss mine in as someone full time focused on building a one person software business.

First, I think entrepreneurship is a bit like music genres. There’s a lot of different styles. If you’re trying to start a pop punk band, the guy in the successful jazz quartet probably has a lot of good advice , but also a lot of advice that’s less relevant to your goals. It’s good if you can filter between the two.

I hang out in dvassalos discord which is filled with people trying to do 1 person business, about half SWEs and half creators / influencers. The creators seem to be crushing the SWEs. It’s just way easier to build an info product people will pay for than an app people will pay for. The info products also have the advantage that , content creation is both the product and the marketing work. But in pure SaaS, product development and marketing are completely different.

I’m working on a few different “bets” but the project I’m most optimistic about making money is www.livepokertheory.com . I still want to do SaaS since I’m a SWE at heart and think there’s more long term upside. But this project is a hybrid info product/ SaaS since I’m creating content on how to understand game theory solvers and creating a SaaS to make it easier to study and retain the content.

Poker is a niche I enjoy plus it’s quasi-b2b since there’s an ROI on the content.

If you’re looking for credibility I have very little as I’ve only made a bit. I had an iOS app that made a little more but it was too controversial (very unfairly so, but it was too much controversy to build a business around, it’s in my post history here).

But I’ve made a little plus I’m making money myself with my own content.

I’ve been a little MIA on my blog and twitter but hoping to build in public a bit more once I get ducks in a row.

Anyway, I think there are certain formulas and playbooks that get trotted out because they often work well. But they don’t guarantee success nor do alternative playbooks guarantee failure. I think what’s more important is to look at high level strategic reasons why certain playbooks exist and let the high level strategy guide you rather then rigid adherence to specific tactics (which, incidentally, is also good advice for understanding the articles on my poker blog).
Curious as to people’s experience with Svelte (or SvelteKit) for making so-called “native” apps via Electron/Taurus/etc?

(I believe the new 1Password app is powered by Svelte.)
The book is by the great Barbara Liskov herself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Liskov) the pioneer of Abstract Data Types, Subtyping, OOD etc. It is basically a rewrite of their classic text Abstraction and Specification in Program Development (1986) with the example language now being Java. It is not a popular cookbook but a fundamental programming concepts book which needs serious study. I highly recommend it.
You've got hydraulic cutters on board.

If a robotaxi gets in the way of your fire appliance, chop it up.
Individual humans can be arrested. The exact people found in violation can be held accountable on the spot in a manner that is proportionate and scales to exactly the responsible parties.

What are you supposed to do with a car with no humans around causing a problem for people? Key it? Break the windshield? Wait around for a tow truck to move it? Revoke an entire fleet’s license to drive in the State of California over a specific incident in San Francisco? Or wait until the fleet has tallied up enough incidents for the State to say “that’s enough”?

We probably do have to validate driverless vehicles to a higher standard than the average driver, and maybe a higher standard than the best drivers. We want correctness and accountability, because driverless or manned, an automobile mishandled is a death trap.

EDIT: How about this? The State can pass a law that gives immunity to anyone who breaks into a misbehaving unmanned autonomous car in order to disable the autonomy and take control of it and move it out of the way. No, I wouldn’t limit this to emergency personnel either. Anyone with a Driver’s License can do it. Cruise and Waymo can then decide whether to make this process easier or they can replace a lot of broken windows.
Did BP have to create a special blend of fuel to sell in those communities to prevent petrol sniffing, because they did for outback Australia. It really is a uniquely fucked up place.
Abject panic and appropriate action sound mutually exclusive, so if remaining placid is the alternative to abject panic I'm voting for placidness.
See I don't understand this argument either. Endless water let alone scrub brush on the side of the highway aren't anything worth looking at? I'd rather get signs that aren't targeted to me versus something so painfully boring.

I can easily look either side of the sign and see the same thing I would see where the sign is. I genuinely don't see the downside.
For me it's been the opposite. Though in my case it's been more Indian professors who often give extremely good (though sometimes perhaps a bit dry) lectures.
yes basically, in fact when we talk to people about this, around 50% of people have had some experience of this in their life (with me it was Kiwi fruit after a long car ride, I associated them with the nausea and couldn't eat kiwis for around 20 years).

Of that 50%, around a half or so have a history of this with some kind of alcohol. I have one friend who will almost puke if he smells whiskey, because of one terrible night in Norrköping with a bottle of Paddy's.
A human operator can be yelled at and made to leave. They don't become an unresponsive lump of metal blocking the road when stymied by emergency vehicle activity.
My friend group made the same jump. People forget just how abysmal VOIP was back then: your options were Skype, which had sound quality somewhere between "2 cans and a string" and "that one CD that you still try to listen to despite your brother cleaning it with the wrong side of the sponge" and RAM usage that was simply insane for the time period, or Mumble, where the sound quality was fantastic and used next to no memory, but had an interface and new user on boarding process that left no-doubt of its FOSS status, and purely ephemeral text chat.

Then along comes Discord. Easy to use, a master class in UI design, and sound quality that was at least in the ballpark of Mumble's. And persistent text chat! If you're going to be talking in Discord, it's only natural that some amount of conversation is going to spill over into the text channels. And if there's a lot of chat in those text channels, then it's going to suck conversation out of your other text mediums. That's how we ended up with Discord dominating the online community space.

alcoholism was rampant there (along with racism, but that's another discussion)

I don't think it is. Just from this article:

“We’ve got to address poverty, inequality, unemployment, educational attainment, early childhood, trauma, the very things that we know make a big difference in terms of being able to live safely with alcohol but that will take time,”

Racism is a (the?) reason indigenous peoples face these issues to begin with.

McKinsey has many controversies. [1]

McKinsey and Jeff Skilling used Enron as a "sandbox". [2]

McKinsey is somewhat a consult cult that ruined agility with "Agile" which goes against everything agile was supposed to be. [3] Real agile and agility is now crushed due to them turning it into a micromanagement always on critical path. [4]

McKinsey margin cutting has killed off lots of research and development and innovation.

Copilot can absolutely do the jobs of Data Scientists who got hired based on some minimal skills that were considered valuable even three years back.

I have tried applying Copilot to my own work where it spews- garbage. But I use Copilot a lot to generate some example data, or write repetitive code- I needed a basic Flask frontend and I used Copilot to do 70% of the job. But it cannot yet solve Vision tasks.

> " I think there will always be a role for the person who can turn around and say"

These roles, if and when they start to exist, will exist in extremely tiny numbers. And they will all likely be hired from Stanford/Oxbridge/MIT/Caltech, and they will have PhDs.

If this scenario plays out, then, I am afraid for my future, too.
"Like you cant "occasionaly" smoke cigarettes, either you are addicted or not."

I don't think there's any factual evidence for this at all. I occasionally smoke cigars (like 1-2 times a year) and I'm not addicted to them. Multiple friends/family members do the same.

"Yes, but often the root issue of addiction is mental health issues (and not only the drug itself)."

Agree, but not everyone who has mental illness issues resorts to drugs for help so there are many other factors to consider.
I mean, what solution is there, really? What else can they do?

Most of the professionals capable of providing such services don't want to move to a remote area to provide permanent services. Many of them could be convinced to provide mobile services working for the public good but most Western countries already struggle with chronic nurse, doctor, social worker, and teacher shortages so I assume Australia is following a similar trajectory. Even if there was political will to solve these issues, there simply isn't enough professionals to provide enough of these services to the urban areas, let alone the most remote ones.

I think this is a much deeper problem with modern societies than just social and healthcare services in remote areas. We've got shortages of trained professionals across the board and we're not set up for any more growth, immigrant or native.
There's always someone trying to light a fire under your ass. Fear politics is how we got a police force at war with citizens due to moral panics. Would be authoritarians thrive on that shit. Salespeople want you to panic and close to escape the danger. Leadership wants you to exhaust yourself for their cause.

The real trick is realizing that's bullshit 99% of the time. Special forces train you to take control of your fight or flight reflex. You need to decide when to unleash the adrenaline. If you lose that control, you're in the whirlwind... Being grounded and tuning out the noise so you can navigate properly is a fundamental life skill.

I have literally never seen an Electron-based application that wasn't overly bloated and slow to start up.

That's why I said "true in some cases"

Though in my 15+ year career as dev and dev manager I've only ever encountered one person who was intentionally building things poorly for job-related reasons. (Even then, that was for a company doing a federal government contract, so arguably building it in a way that encouraged expensive maintenance contracts was good for the business, in a perverse way.)

I've seen a lot of overengineered solutions with fancy design docs but they've always come from a good place, genuinely thinking that the hot new tool X or architecture Y is going to solve all of the problems. I've built some poorly overengineered solutions myself. But even if that road of overengineered solutions leads to hell, it's at least paved with good intentions.
As a french speaking Quebecer, we use "podcast" or "Balado" (short for baladodiffusion https://vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/fiche-gdt/fiche/... ).

Please do not think that French is only in France. We use words here that french people won't understand and they do the same. And the aversion to anglicisms varies a lot depending on the person (ie "footing", a non-existing word in english in the sense used, is used in France to say "jogging").

> The average user [...] just want things to work.

Indeed. This is why convenience means moving all things 'federation' to the background.

Remember eDonkey, eMule, and the ED2K network? It started as a federated network, and it added a second decentralized network later on. And it was successful, because users didn't have to care about the inner workings of the product. There were a bunch of external sites acting as link aggregators, but there was a builtin search feature too that worked well (until hash collisions catched up with the stagnant protocol).

To me, this is still a shining example of how to do federation right. There were multiple clients, standard communication protocols, and it was easy to take advantage of the full federated network, because it didn't take any effort to do so.

I'm familiar, but that definition wasn't well thought out.

Other approaches have been more widely adopted, like FINRA certs for working with trading infrastructure.

“Learn to do plumbing.”

> Unless you are buying enough of a company to get access to a board seat, you effectively have zero control over a company. Buying 1 share of Google gets you such an insignificant fraction of a company.

I have zero interest in having control over any company I'm invested in. Which I assume is the case with the overwhelming majority of retail shareholders.

> But that’s not actually a useful model. Asking “do I want to give money to this company that they may choose to never return?” helped me understand a lot of what investing really was much much better.

I am having a hard time understanding why this is a useful way of thinking about equity investment. In the most common case i.e. in secondary markets, you aren't giving the company any money by buying stock. And in the most common case you don't want the company to return the money.
> I've never followed this line of reasoning. The whole point of ads is to introduce you to products you might want. It's not manipulative. It's "Hey! Check out this cool new thing." Followed by "Oh neat, that thing solves a problem or desire I have"

I disagree. The whole point of advertisements is to connect buyers with sellers. Which does not at all indicate the authenticity or honesty of the transaction. If you had no morals but you could put an ad up that made people immediately buy your product, would it not still be an ad?

There's obviously all sorts of guard rails to advertisements that we have in practice or can theorize about. From deceptive ads to brain-hacks, ads are just a form of media and they can take all shapes and sizes.

Hell, i'd be more open to the idea of ads if they were just what you said. Instead it's a very adversarial relationship where they don't just want to make sure i know Coke exists, but to trick my brain into wanting Coke. This isn't a knowledge transfer it's an attempt at dopamine and association. You're Pavlov's dog and they hold the bell in this experiment.

Which is not an argument against all advertisements. Merely stating that it's not as clean cut and free of manipulation as you suggest.

This might be my own personal experience, but one effect of my colorblindness is that I place far less emphasis on color-coding in the real world--I'll subconciously ignore things like status indicators.

The NPTEL videos are a major public good.

It is a shame that for the longest time, MIT OCW's CS & Math lectures were the only high-quality course-videos on the internet. Leveraging the IIT system to get 100% course coverage over every possible engineering course is genius. It has democratized education better and earlier than any unicorn. (Coursera, Udacity, etc.). Everything from assignments to

It is an indictment of American universities that despite having the funding, resources and technology to do this a lot earlier, it was eventually a 3rd world country that pulled it off. All without any profit motive. "Non-profit universities"?, yeah right. Just take a look at the courses on offer - https://nptel.ac.in/courses . Every imaginable engineering specialization is on offer, down to the most obscure.

University classrooms do not seem to have caught up to just how easy it is to access this information. Most professors do not have the same caliber or flair to do better than the best NPTEL video. I would like to new coursework designed around integrating video lectures of this sort as integral part of engineering instruction, with the in-person professor taking on the role or assistance and disambiguation, rather than
being an inferior repeater of the same information.
We did. It was called "The Internet". It was great, for a while. But you had write your own webpages and host the pages yourself, which was hard and expensive. Only nerds could figure it out and the only people who got free servers were academics. At some point, some rich guys in california realized that you could trade a consumers info for a "free" service. Regular people went online and found all these neat free apps and all they had to do was watch some ads. It wasn't the best, but it worked ok, for a while. And suddenly _everything_ was a "free" app. Then walls came up and we found ourselves stranded. Nobody could afford to leave the walled garden and nobody could afford to make a better option.

Cool site!

I just looked through your repo. I'm still relatively new to SvelteKit and rewriting a similar content based site from React.

What led you to use the SSG adapter vs the node adapter (which uses SSR)?

How long does the build take to pre-render all of your content pages like the sea life?

Was there a particular reason you didn't want to use Form Actions?

Not criticizing your decisions by the way, I'm mostly just curious about the decisions others make to learn something myself :)
