One man’s direct is another man’s aggressive. I can’t help how you interpret what I wrote, and I’m not one to sound overly cheerful because it’s not accurate to how I feel about the topic. I’m also not aggressive about it. I’m indifferent, and what I wrote is if nothing else just an alternative vantage point for the parent commenter to use when making an informed decision. Placebos exist, as do physical manifestations of stress from over thinking things. Heart rate monitors are pretty well known for triggering that in people, and like I said, it did that to me when I first got one.
I have never worked in startups or FAANG. I’ve only worked at shitcos, and pay is up!

I’m up to nearly 300k comp at shitco, without the terrible life commitment and uncertainty of startups.
For an accessibility feature, it’s extraordinarily inaccessible. Turning it on results in an awful UI involving masking off parts of the screen. No way to invert the selection. Settings aren’t saved. Choosing a password is mandatory (why can’t the normal lock screen password be a default?). And trying to turn on Guided Access at all is far from 100% reliable.

I’ve broken out of it by the extremely complex protocol of swiping up by accident, although not recently. Maybe it’s been fixed.
Can it finally export and import filters?

This glaring and baffling omission was a deal-breaker 25 years ago.
Please please don't mention 3d pdfs. Please. I had to implement this. 3d manipulation in a block inside of a print format that might make deliverables in the hundreds of gigs. It's . . it's one of the dumbest functional requirements I've ever seen, and the fact it exists. . I'm sorry, I have to go be by myself for a while.
Putting aside the side of the fence I'm on for driverless cars, the steps required to operate driverless permissibly should be way more visible to the public, even if folks might not be interested in seeing/hearing any of it.

The pervasive "we're just doing it in software" and "city legislature dark arts" narratives aren't confidence inspiring.
A warrant is required for all government search, and I can just as easily waive my right for a warrant w/ the police.

In fact, a workers for the municipality is the very last government level Id want snooping in my house. Next thing I know Im getting fined for having the wrong colored bathroom tiles.
That is a standard that the self-driving industry likes to promulgate, I'm guessing because it's rhetorically powerful and because it suits them.

is it accepted as a standard by any professionals? Why or why not?
It seems related to the car not being aware there was an injured person under it.

It's not hard to imagine that it's simply unequipped to know something like that, and it does seem fair to require that it become so equipped.

Huge supporter of autonomous cars, still feel like this is completely reasonable to require a solution for.
> Some people own a lot of guns and knowing exactly where they are at all times is just not feasible.

If that's the case, they need to own fewer guns. I cannot think of many things more important to keep track of at all times than where one's guns are.
The later slices remind me of a gifted test I failed, because I rabbit holed on dividing the shapes...
This is such a wild edge case though. So we think the vehicle should do what, keep driving, potentially causing more damage?

It's highly situation specific, and I'd expect the emergency personal to make the judgement call on how to free the person (potentially by taking control of the vehicle, or other means).
> I hesitate to believe that even a human driver would do something like that.

They do!

War only comes when the price of peace is too high to bear.

So here's a thought: just pay them to quit. We could spend a hundred billion dollars on bunker busters and artillery rounds, and kill thousands of people. Or we could just pay them to stop and offer blanket amnesty. This isn't an invading army, it's a group of desperate people lashing out at their condition. And we're not talking about supporting an entire huge nation here, it's just a few million people. We could end this with pocket change for the US. Pump another hundred billion into Gaza development and give every man, woman, and child a government job with benefits. Hamas wouldn't stand a chance in the face of that. The ancient rulers had no problem with this; tribute was a normal every day way of doing business. And it allows time for cooler heads to prevail. Why has this been lost?
They probably should have just made Android phones when the market was still early. At least that would've been their best shot at commercial success.

Not OP, but signing it probably made the mess immediately disappear. Even if there was no legal requirement, the stress and potential expenses are not worth it if the data was genuinely deleted.

Taking a moral stand has costs that not everyone can bear.
I see. Well, whether unlocking the bootloader voided the warranty or not didn't matter in my case, since the phone seems very resilient so far. It has fallen in the toilet and had yoghurt spilled directly into the USB port and it's still trucking along.

Both the original and this followup article both say:

I would much rather see real dates, to get a feel for how long this change of opinion took.

Not sure why you're lumping Tesla in with Cruise. I'm all for investigating Tesla for advertising something as FSD that isn't FSD. Tesla basically has advanced driver assist functionality that is a few steps ahead of what most other luxury brands sell.

Are you saying Tesla should stop calling it FSD? Or that regulators should prohibit certain driver assist features without more strict regulatory approval?

If Tesla were putting actually driverless (or cars without pedals and wheels) on the road, I'd be with you.

Does it matter if they never tow anything? People want to be ABLE to tow something. Every truck commercial features giant trails or a loader dumping rocks into the bed. Probably <10% of pick up trucks owners ever do this, but people still like the image of having a truck than can do this.

>Thunderbird sorts folders in tree alphabetically and only alphabetically

Except when it doesn't. Personally, alphabetically is the way that I want it sorted, but sometimes Thunderbird starts up and the folders are randomly sorted, and I can't sort the back. I just have to close Thunderbird and start it again to get my folders back in the right order.
Customer service issues generally get escalated when someone starts advocating against your company, as there is now a tangible cost involved in not fixing the issue. Companies saw people hurting their reputation on twitter and wanted to be able to respond to prevent and minimize damage. It makes sense that if someone complains publicly, you would want to respond publicly, at least initially.
not sure if you're trolling or not but last i heard people simply strapping an exercise/weighted wrist band to the steering wheel which simulated torque being applied to the steering wheel which leads a Tesla to believe someone is paying attention. A quick search on Youtube reveals more than a few videos confirming this.
His point was that Dr. behavior is a symptom of US dysfunction.

Take away medical debt, triple the number of doctors, reduce pay to reduce selection pressure on $ chasers, etc. and you will start addressing causes of the symptoms.
Not defined, but some things go together.

The kind of person that'd pay for the convenience and productivity gain of a centralized messaging app isn't likely to care about saving money by brewing coffee at home and avoiding coffee brands.
The starving artist is a trope for a reason. Just admit that you don't want to pay for things.
so it's not a "console" in the pejorative sense of "locked down gaming device some company is trying to extract rents from", but it definitely is in the operational sense of "small device dedicated to gaming". the deck goes a bit beyond a general purpose pc because it does have a vertically integrated hardware and software stack that is optimised for playing games, even if they haven't restricted other uses.
Don't quit. Just don't go.
Come on. The medical community was never "forced" to do anything. A small minority of the medical community voluntarily abused their positions of trust to overstate the strength of scientific evidence and advocate for public health policies that were never justified on an evidence-based medicine basis. Those miscreants sacrificed their own credibility for no benefit, and what's worse is they caused public blowback in other areas.
> Or better yet. What do I do next?

Do something. Break that object at rest inertia. It's hard. And risky.

Start trying to make it real in real life.

Talk to others that have started similar things. Learn. Grow.

You might have to go way out of your comfort zone to do it, but that's ok. You'll learn a lot of really useful things on the journey. You won't know how to do everything, so you'll need to find people to help. You probably will need money and other resources you don't have, too, so you'll have to find people to help you.

I mean FB engineers are specifically optimizing for toxicity at an algorithmic level. It’s the product. You can’t perform controlled experiments to measure the profitability of depression and also fiend ignorance.

“A human driver” is not the standard, not should it be. Humans need training, experience, physical dexterity, and motivation (and more besides) to be good drivers. If you average human drivers you include barely-competent teenagers, barely-dextrous old people, drunk people, etc.

“A highly-skilled and attentive human driver” is a reasonable standard. So-called autonomous vehicles are nowhere near that.
Frankly a wage reduction is then only appropriate as you are less productive after the commute.
Many people are saying they did very well, but if I were trying to sell a service I'd tell people that same thing. "Sure, you did a lot of these perfectly, want to do more games that will feel satisfying" seems like a great onboarding strategy.
As someone who has to share the street with inexcusably bad Cruise vehicles (Waymo vehicles seem to be fine, FWIW) this reads like "I think it sucks that the news focuses on the negative impact on others from my personal choices, because it really is very nice for me".
"Section 3.4 Testing" is missing an explanation of why testing is necessary. Some startup CTOs make critical errors like un-staffing testing or migrating to Service-Oriented Architecture without integration tests. We need the handbook to instruct such people on why testing is a necessary part of the software process.

There are videos of Tesla drivers sleeping on the driver's seat
while FSD are running. How is that is monitoring?
Such a strawman. "Write what you know" as an advise to (beginner) writers doesn't mean that nobody should ever write anything but what they have personally endured. There are many benefits of write what you know even if you eventually end up writing more far-fetched fiction. In particular it allows beginning writers to focus and practice more on other areas of writing when the subject matter is already familiar. Also it can lower the threshold for writing and thus get people just to write more which is probably the single most important aspect in improving as a writer.

I also point out that write what you know doesn't mean just personal experience. It can also refer to the writer having some deep knowledge of some subject matter, such as certain historical period or some specific region, or even some more abstract things such some emotions or relationships

ELife Replaces Editor-in-Chief Michael Eisen After Twitter Post on Israel/Hamas
Oh, I agree. You may have loaded the page before my edit where I expanded on my first paragraph.

(I have my comments appear on a several minute delay because I know I sometimes submit a comment before I've made sure my intent was clear, but I maybe I took too long this time. It's a bad habit, and I know I should slow down, but... yeah.)
It is an idiom meaning she yelled at them.
The California DMV tracks "disengagements" and publishes them annually at https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/auto...

The California PUC now requires quarterly reports that are published at https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/regulatory-services/licensing/transp...

San Francisco's city/county transportation agencies, police, and fire departments have requested that additional information be tracked about crashes involving autonomous vehicles. But my understanding is that CA DMV and CPUC have denied those requests. There are currently some academic researchers filling this void with their own recordkeeping and analysis. Each time academics circulate a pre-print for peer review, Cruise appears to issue a press release based on its own internal statistics and its CEO goes on the offensive.

So, to a certain degree, it's unsteady and loose regular by CA DMV and CPUC that have led to the former needing to suspend Cruise's permit today (rather than a much more gradual and controlled process of granting industry more leeway to test without safety drivers on public right-of-way).
At this rate self driving cars won’t be approved until they can also cure cancer and bring world peace

I'm disappointed to hear this news. So many people are killed by cars every year. We just take that for granted. Self-driving cars have the potential to drastically improve this and save many lives. I worry that these regulators are weighing the costs heavily while ignoring the benefits of innovation.

That said, I don't have access to the data and I don't really know if Cruise has been acting inappropriately. I'm glad that Waymo seems to be generating far fewer negative press reports, which seems to be a good proxy for whether regulators are going to clamp down. So I hope Waymo continues to operate successfully (and expands their service to me in particular) and I hope that Cruise improves their system and gets back online.
I was just trying to think that through a bit myself! Say this situation happens, the car is on someones legs, it realizes it, drives forward and forward is over the head or chest? It's hard to think how you would want to program it to react even if it was aware something was stuck under it. Interesting situation with AV's I'd not considered before.

Updating my comment to include this:

“When it comes to someone pinned beneath a vehicle, the most effective way to unpin them is to lift the vehicle,” Sgt. Kathryn Winters, a spokesperson for the department, said in an interview. Were a driver to move a vehicle with a person lying there, “you run the risk of causing more injury.”

wow, I was pretty proud of my 88% but then I saw all the comments here

Really neat way to advertise Brilliant. Reminds me of Google Doodles or something.
Yupp, worked for me
If we demolished the police to spend instead on social services and taking care of more people with mental illness, improving fire and EMT services, and providing a very small number of detectives to handle investigating significant crimes, I believe my specific county would be overalls safer. The idea that maintaining public order takes a cop with a gun for every 300 or 400 citizens is just ludicrous. I live in a county with a large rural area and even here we have a cop with a gun for every 600 to 700 citizens which is still far too many. There are over 100 CHP for about 25 miles of highway in the area, for Pete's sake.
That wasn't Google's customer support though. IIRC, they initially partnered with Sprint to handle the infrastructure and support (and later one of the other companies, but that was after I stopped caring). That's who you were talking to.
Handyside arcade where I used to buy Viz and sorry, that was me smelling of patchouli
As a pedestrian I'm not a fan of being an unwitting part of a private company's beta testing. Before this devolves into whatboutism vs the safety of human drivers, my opposition is to adding yet another unknown safety layer to walking down the street.

Usually when private companies are developing products that could kill, drugs for example, it is on the company to exhaustively prove the safety and effectiveness before launching it to the public. It seems odd that self driving cars have been skipping this step.
Agreed. I think you can even take it further than other new small space companies. Boeing and China would both absolutely love to replicate SpaceX's tech, and both have (relative to SpaceX) practically unlimited resources to do so, yet both are still nowhere near them yet, and not for lack of trying.

From an outsider's perspective it's quite difficult to understand what the big barrier is.
I don't think he ever wanted Twitter to succeed
Yes. Cruise-branded robots keep failing all the driving tasks that aren't strictly about keeping it between the lanes and not running into other cars.

Like this:

https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/cruise-muni-sf-storms...

Cruise likes to bloodlessly recite stats about human driver fatalities in response. Which is the sort of bullshit non sequitur you get from a PR consultant, who gets away with it because we have stenographers in place of journalists.
> Baszucki cited “Zoom fatigue,” as well as concern that early-career workers may miss out on mentorship opportunities without in-office interactions.

Zoom fatigue was addressed during the pandemic by multiple ways to deal with it. Remote work is not some impossible dream. Lots of companies do it successfully.

But the idea that "our junior employees might not ask for a mentor, so let's fire them" is ridiculous.
When someone forgets their child in the backseat of a car there is usually a serious criminal investigation.

There is evidence that when a self driving car is stalled in the middle of the street no one can actually figure out what they are going to do from moment to moment. No driver to yell at, doesn't respond to honking... should I go open the door and hit some big 'call mothership' button on the dash...Or will it try and run me over...
I think criminals should be punished by the legal system. Stealing a TV or tv show, society breaks down when laws are not enforced.
Something less shitty, I would imagine.
That had already happened by 1998.
I thought tearing occurred from trying to run display frame rates beyond the refresh rate of the monitor? A frame rate below the refresh rate should have ample opportunity to flush correctly, or I’m not understanding the tech in play maybe.

If the game is a rpg or any casual genre where timing is not important and lack of it doesn’t impact gameplay or competitiveness, what’s it matter if they run at 24fps? Maybe they run that low to screen capture at a lower frame rate to not needlessly burn cpu converting 60 or 160 fps down to 24? And most games cap at 30 or 60, yet higher refresh rate monitors don’t have tearing issues or everyone would be throwing a fit. My son has a 120hz monitor and plays countless games capped at 60. Is it the fact they all divide into the refresh rate that stops the issue?
A 1992 NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/28/business/microsoft-s-unli... said

"Microsoft turns cautionary at the dropping of figures, but a distinguished Wall Street research firm estimates that at least 2,200 employees at Microsoft's Redmond headquarters east of here -- nearly one in five -- are millionaires. Not even the height of the Wall Street takeover frenzy of the mid-1980's made as many instant millionaires as did simple employment at Microsoft for the last five years, analysts say.

The Microsoft millionaires are unlike any in the world. Not only are many under the age of 30, the vast majority are not executives or lawyers but rather software writers with technical backgrounds."
Generally agree with this.

Whoever the author is has a totally different view of "metadata".

Metadata from my perspective would be "general amount of emails", (possibly) "address blocks (just involved, not from/to/bcc/cc)", "time frames" (with large window averaging), (maybe...) "very vague categories".
A human driver at what percentile?

I think AVs need to be better than p95 or so to be socially accepted.
Animated billboards should be illegal.

Hell, make billboards illegal period, as a few New Wngland states do.
The large opposition to AVs gives these companies zero-margin for error especially in a place like SF. Hopefully they'll be back on the road soon. My experience in Waymos have felt much safer than the average Uber.
> I’ve been working from home for a long time now and, in addition to being over the hill and too exhausted from work and life in general, I’ve somewhat recently hit a wall with gaming where it feels too much like work (to game, I sit at the same desk, in the same office, just switch monitor and input to a different computer). It has really depressed the hell out of me.

This is related to why a lot of people feel working from home is more stressful or distracting than not - there's no tangible "mode switch" from "being at home" to "working", and many people struggle with that. Advice I've often heard (and given) is to a) have a separate space for work vs play, and b) have a routine in the morning that switches you to "work mode" - i.e., don't just wake up in your PJs, make a coffee, and plop down at your work station.

Quick Edit: I should have finished reading your comment :)
