the article quotes the tweet as saying

Fuck Chan Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a label and motherfucking crew …
And if you are down with
Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan
as a crew
fuck you too …
Die slow motherfuckers.

the article says that this is a reference to 2pac shakur's 01996 hit 'hit 'em up'; https://genius.com/2pac-hit-em-up-lyrics quotes it as saying

Well, this is how we gonna do this: Fuck Mobb Deep! Fuck Biggie!
Fuck Bad Boy as a staff, record label, and as a motherfuckin' crew!
And if you wanna be down with Bad Boy, then fuck you too!
Chino XL, fuck you too!
All you motherfuckers, fuck you too!
(Take money, take money)
All of y'all motherfuckers, fuck you, die slow!
Motherfucker, my .44 make sho' all y'all kids don't grow!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_%27Em_Up gives as context that two years earlier 2pac had narrowly escaped attempted murder:

> The ferocity of Shakur's raging vocals,[9] as said by long-time collaborator and producer of "Hit 'Em Up" Johnny J, was entirely authentic.[4] He explained that Shakur was initially fueled by his anger against Biggie and Bad Boy Records for the belief that they had a role in the November 30, 1994, ambush and attack on Shakur. He claimed that Biggie and his crew knew of his shooting and wanted him dead.[10] Shakur used this fury, which Johnny "J" described as "superhuman",[4] to attack Biggie and other East Coast rappers.[4] Johnny "J" also stated that he had never seen Shakur so angry and that the words he rapped were in no way an act,[11] describing the recording process as the most "hard-core he had ever done."[4]

three months after releasing the dis track in june 01996, 2pac got his ass shot dead by crips keefe d and his nephew in a drive-by, which was apparently completely unrelated to biggie, but rather due to beating up his killers a few hours earlier. (i don't know what else he expected when he attacked a crip unprovoked.) biggie similarly got shot dead in a drive-by six months later. biggie's murder is still officially unsolved, though family members have blamed parts of the los angeles police department allied with the bloods, the gang of the head of 2pac's record label. (not, however, with a .44; with a 9 millimeter.) puff daddy, chino xl, and half of mobb deep are still alive; the other half, prodigy, died 20 years later from medical accidents following hospitalization due to complications from sickle-cell anemia, a condition 2pac ridicules in the above-linked track

normally quoting song lyrics gives you a free pass to avoid being taken seriously, but possibly when the song in question was written as a threat of a killing that was actually carried out nine months later, people may see it differently
My passion for software development returned when I stopped doing it for money for 40 hours per week.

Now I just use it in support of a different task: helping immigrants settle in Germany. I build little widgets to explain things. I created a static site generator. I write linters for the content and git commit hooks.

But no more tickets, no more stand-ups, no more sprints. I write software like a retired chef bakes a pie: because it's nice.

This concept of a blameless culture reminds me of one time when I was talking to a SWE at Facebook around 2010. I don’t know whether the story is actually true or just folklore, but apparently someone brought down the whole site on accident once, and it was pretty obvious who did it.

Zuckerberg was in the office and walked up to the guy and said something along the lines of “Just so you are aware, it would probably take a lifetime or more to recoup the revenue lost during that outage. But we don’t assign blame during these sorts of events, so let’s just consider it an expensive learning opportunity to redesign the system so it can’t happen again.”
Any source would be appreciated, I'd like to read more about it.
The point being that we should perhaps try to teach ethics better, as I am not sure whether these checkbox exercises and codes of conduct cut it.

>using the buttons on the steering wheel on the Model 3?

I suppose I should clarify I am speaking generally, I don't own nor have I ever driven a Tesla. I have, however, had to deal with touchscreen controls in recent years.

>even if you would look briefly

>a brief peak at a touchscreen.

The thing about touchscreens is they demand more than just a "brief" "peak". I need to look at it, obviously, and also devote considerable attention and mental processing to comprehending what's on the screen and then moving my hand and finger as necessary.

I can't rely on muscle memory or peripheral sensory feedback, because nothing is ever in the same, consistent place on a touchscreen nor is there any useful tactile or auditory feedback. I must decipher the touchscreen every time and hope to dear god the shitsilicon running the thing can process my input in a timely and reliable manner (spoiler: it won't).

One time, the touchscreen controls for the AC locked up and stayed broken until I turned the entire car off and back on when I was done with that leg of driving.

Touchscreen controls in a car are a driving hazard, I would argue worse than "text and drive" smartphones.

Norwegian has ca. 5m speakers, and ChatGPT does not just do fine with both the (mutually intelligible) Norwegian written languages, but also has no problem "translating" to/from several regional dialects when I've experimented.

And that is, I presume - I could be wrong -, before anyone has tried to really mine the Norwegian national library, as even much of what is online is not easily accessible for crawling.

I think there'll be plenty of content for even much smaller languages - especially anywhere with depositary laws -, but it's often going to require cumbersome collection efforts and negotiating access.

Yes, you can even see this in aviation itself - there is still blame put on __poor decisionmaking__ and __violation of rules__.

Why is this still the case given that NASA were able to land humans on the moon 55 years ago, not to mention do so in a way that could also bring them home?
mostly i agree; it's mostly a marketing distinction rather than a technical one

actually i think non-micro (multi-integrated-circuit) processors are becoming popular again. the 'microprocessor' moniker wasn't coined to distinguish processors built out of discrete transistors from processors built out of integrated circuits; that was the 'second-generation computer' vs. 'third-generation computer' distinction back in the 01960s. what made a microprocessor 'micro' was that it was a chip instead of a circuit board
People who say:

"Anyone giving you a wage while seeking a profit instead of partner equity is taking advantage of you tautologically"

assume all startups have huge exit and don't account that equity can actually go down to $0 - that $100 I get today wired to my account does not go to $0 suddenly.

Then you might be stuck with equity because there might be no one who will buy it off - or company board won't approve of sale, so you might be sitting on loads of "theorethical cash" that you won't be able to materialize.

Still $100 wired to my account - if I can spend it - is not getting voted by company co-owners and if things go south, believe me, you will have a hard time to bail and getting any money back from the equity.

Just like lottery ticket, people don't see the downsides only that there is $8 000 000 to win and they hear in the news every 2 weeks someone wins. Where no one is making news stories about people who spend $100 every week for years and never won.
I was going more for an eli5 answer than making comparisons to specific brain concepts. That main idea was that the RNN keeps a rolling context so there's no clear cutoff... I suspect if you tried, you could fine-tune this to remember some things better than others - some effectively forever, others would degrade the way you said.
Yep, all you've done is created a scapegoat - which in some cases does satiate the public's bloodthirst - but does not actually address the fundamental issues.

There is another problem with individual performance reviews - the tendency to favour self-promotion over team work.

Having a system that relies on an element of peer feedback ameliorates this - as people then have to balance going around stealing credit versus maintaining that good feedback.
Is that true? I thought the protests in 2020 stopped the shut off?

Teletext and BBC Red Button are essentially the same, just with quite a few lick of paints. I think you can still access Red Button to this day?
Eh, that’s a really strange way to phrase it. Singling out the engineer isn’t blameless. Sure it’s a learning opportunity but it’s a learning opportunity for everyone involved. One person shouldn’t be able to take the site down. I have always thought of those situations as “failing together.”
I guess such interactive elements always show the current state of the system, and when they are interacted with, it changes the state it was in, examples:
1. Social media buttons for upvotes/likes/dislikes
2. on/off toggle switches for features
3. microphone/speaker buttons on desktop OSes
That system is 5 years old. It feeds electricity back to the grid.

For an "auto island" functionality, I would need relays controlled by the inverter on all 3 phases between the electricity mains and my main switch box, right? I don't have relays like that.
> Could one argue Tesla's Marketing approach to FSD is almost machiavellian and targeted not at consumers but in actual fact, engineers to come and work for them?

"We over-promote a product which is unfit for purpose, then vaguely claim it is a beta, as if that somehow makes the over-promotion okay" is generally the sort of thing that scares engineers away, rather than attracting them. Like, it's basically a poorly-run-company _trope_.

There are quite a few examples in there of “the bad guy” trying to find files (like .env) that are accidentally left somewhere. From my PHP days I remember that indeed Apache/PHP just serves up any file from anywhere as a static file if it isn’t PHP. My memory is pretty vague on this and I don’t remember if this behaviour is configurable but I guess it must be. Having done mostly Ruby on Rails since, it feels so strange now that a web server can be some kind of a file browser into your code base. Am I remembering this correctly? Are there other languages/web servers that work like this?
Exactly. It's interesting only to monolingual people or (needlessly) concerned language-learners.

A Tesla used to be called the "best car ever made" — eleven years ago.

In 2013 Consumer Reports called the Tesla Model S the best car it had ever tested. The Model S earned a score of 99 out of a possible 100 in the magazine's tests.

"If it could recharge in any gas station in three minutes, this car would score about 110," said Jake Fisher, head of auto testing for Consumer Reports. Fisher called the car's performance in the magazine's performance tests "off the charts."[1]

What happened in the last 11 years? Did Teslas get worse or did expectations change significantly?

ok but 90% of plane crashes are survivable is not the same as 90% of people in plane crashes survive them.

According to this https://etsc.eu/increasing-the-survival-rate-in-aircraft-acc...

>In round and, of course, fluctuating figures it is estimated that of the 1500 who die each year in air transport accidents some 900 die in non-survivable accidents. The other 600 die in accidents which are technically survivable and crashworthiness, fire and evacuation issues are all important. Of these 600 perhaps 330 die as a direct result of the impact and 270 due to the effects of smoke, toxic fumes, heat and resulting evacuation problems.

> You don't understand American culture at all if you can even ask this question sincerely.

Some people on HN always assume that this is a website a US-only audience. No, not all people understand American culture and that’s normal because it’s not universal. I interpreted the comment as a general affirmation, not something specific to a single country. I’m downvoted and almost insulted for asking a question.
There is a very large canyon between “good manager “ and “good leader,” especially in big tech. Many definitely do not cross pollinate.

Let’s not fool ourselves: the answer is obvious. The skills that make you a manager are not usually authentic leadership skills in a large corporation. That actual leader is a very special person with usually a very special set of circumstances inside a big company. Most simply optimize to survive and fill their coffers.
Worth noting that something heavy enough to trigger the seat occupancy sensor can still do you a lot of damage as it flies around the inside of a car in a crash. I put the seatbelt on around boxes and bags if they're on the seat.

Of course he should, but I was attempting to make a joke, since I thought that the parent comment was also a joke (word play on two meanings of the word "mean").

How do you define "minimum safety, correctness and quality standard"?
Glad you liked it!

It's been on a bit of a break for a while, but I have some new fun analyses on the way.
Actually it has landed on one lateral side, not upside down.

The engine nozzles that are now directed upwards were intended to remain on one lateral side. The lander was supposed to rotate one quarter turn after landing, to bring the engine nozzles from downside to a lateral side. Instead of that, it has rotated a half of turn, bringing the nozzles upside, due to an excessive horizontal speed at contact.

The solar panels are now on one lateral side instead of on the upper side.

Initially that lateral side was opposite to the Sun. After the Moon has rotated, the Sun has begun to illuminate the panels, though it is likely that the generated power has remained much lower than intended.

If they can no longer move it, they will have to save power, because they will be able to recharge the battery only during a small part of the Lunar day.
I'm guessing having humans on board makes it easier, since they can tend to the landing instead of having to do it semi-autonomously all the way from Earth

Can you make ethanol from thin air, such as with the Sabatier reaction? I like the fact that you can take electrical energy input, atmosphere, and get methane. This means I could convert excess solar into a mass and volume dense combustible, and then retrieve some of the store energy back later.

> the Captain of the Titanic ...

Any decent accident investigation should highlight that the Captain was under strict instructions from the ship owners to break a record, wealthy influential owners that could and would destroy his career if he failed to push the ship.

Good investigations identify causes with a view to prevent repetition of circumstances.

Cases like these (Titanic, UK Post) strengthen the case for whistle blower protection.
