Possibly, but this has kind of been the summary of each FSD software update over the years. I recall similar amazed comments when FSD v9 came out 3 years ago, and transitioned from radar to vision for depth perception.

Each release likely has gotten measurably better, and more usable, but at this point I seriously doubt that V12 is "the one".

'Social Order Could Collapse' in AI Era, Two Top Japan Companies Say
Thank you very much for your (and the GP's) input. Interesting perspectives.

As I said, I was hoping for more personal experiences like "this happened to me so I decided to leave" than just perceptions and perceived fears which can be too easily influenced or biased. I can understand how they add up and create stress but so does flying for a lot of people - while being one of the safest modes of transportation.

For example, going to the US, my main fear was violence, and more specific gun violence and terrorism. Luckily I never encountered either, even if there were quite a few shootings and even 9/11! during my very stay. Today I'd just say these are statistically insignificant events (as horrifying as they are).

Secondly I was terrified of losing my job - with everything it entailed, especially my work visa. And I did get fired, eventually. Luckily the whole thing went swimmingly, with COBRA & severance pay picking up the slack during a short search and my next company continuing my visa sponsorship.

I was also afraid of cops (thanks, Hollywood!) but all encounters I actually had (noise complaints during parties and traffic stops) were quite amusing & polite.

In the end I had an amazing, positive experience living in the USA and it also helped me appreciate and understand Europe better. After all the years living in the EU now I could write a whole lot more about the horrors here (corruption, bureaucracy and the Russian threat easily come to mind) but that's not the topic and I am too old to believe there is a perfect place for everybody. Each choice is personal and it's composed from countless subjective, even subconscious factors - so good luck with yours!

I recently wrote an app with vala. It was a pleasant experience.

I wanted my app to work well on desktop Linux and my pinephone running postmarketos and phosh.

Vala fit the bill nicely. I enjoyed it much more than python and the performance is great. I wanted something that was performant and minimized battery usage since I’d be using it on my pine phone.

> so this mindset of associating your car brand with all that e-drama is only for people chronically online.

Maybe true about Twitter or Elon specifically, but i suspect if we ignore "on Twitter" specifically, far too many people are "chronically online" or chronically drinking news cycle drama.

Ie i generally agree that people often think e-drama is more real than it is, but i also suspect we shouldn't undersell how many humans are addicted to tube fed drama. Fear sells, and we've got a lot of industries that focus on this.

Wonder what studies test this, outcomes, etc.
You could use a merkle hash tree where each Merkle node closes over the template inputs (eg comment.id, user.is_admin?) and optionally a hash of the template code (Unison language makes hashing code very easy since code in Unison is content-addressed https://www.unison-lang.org/docs/the-big-idea/)

The Merkle hierarchy is the same as the UI hierarchy, and by using a unified cache key system (just send the node id) you can optimize batch fetching of cached views anywhere in the hierarchy, even batching across requests if you have some QoS to prevent very deep trees in one request from stalling simple requests.

Before adding caching to a UI rendering system, it's worth considering where the "slow" comes from. Is it data dependencies to feed the UI, or actually building the UI render result? It's possible caching at another layer might be more effective - if building the template inputs is uncached but takes 15ms, building the UI from scratch takes 5ms, and getting the UI from cache based on its inputs takes 3ms, the fancy UI cache system doesn't seem worth it - more effort needs to go to optimizing the data access layer. Using too fine-grained a cache for the UI layer can actively harm performance. At best UI building is a little bit of string math, and that can be much faster than a network call in most programming languages. In Javascript at least, rendering all of the example templates in the blog post would take microseconds.
You can shorten that to oklch(62.8% 0.2576 29.23) and it will still max out the red subpixel on your sRGB monitor, not that this is a particularly serious flaw with okLCH anyway IMO, especially compared to the incomprehensible nonsense that is #RRGGBB unless you're specifically working with sRGB subpixels/pixels and not colour
Gotcha. So the integration with Jira is to figure out what has changed and what needs to be communicated? And Sendgrid can be used to actually send the emails? I would be more explicit with the flow of things.

The example doesn't do it for me somehow, not sure why. I don't quite get how the dinner planning Notion page would get translated to sending an update of some sorts. You might just want to expand on that or use a different example. Maybe as simple as Jira tickets to Email with more resources of other integrations (input vs output). It was also a bit confusing to have the "Learn more ->" link (at least it looks like a link here) not do anything. Oh wait, is that whole red bordered box an example of a product update? That wasn't clear at all. Maybe combine that with the Jira tickets that were used as a source for that update.

This looks neat, I wish you good luck and hope it takes off. Let me know if I can help more.

I tried this FSD beta for the model X in a 30-minute test drive recently. I used local street to test. It failed pretty hard when encountering the 4-way stop. The FSD couldn't decide whether to go or not and just stuck in the drive-n-brake cycle for a few times. I didn't want to piss off the drivers behind me so I had to disengage the FSD to get over the 4-way stop. After that, it was able to drive itself to the dealership parking lot. This feature is $8000 for that car. I'm pretty sure not going to pay that much for it.

This is generally good advice with depth, but I would add a disclaimer: organizational practices and idioms should be taken into account. A few examples where these points would need some adjustment in my org:

We're not crazy about irregular cadences for project update communications. Why? Because there are many projects of complex size and shape going on. The stakeholders of my project care about many of those other projects as well, and they plan their schedules expecting to consume your update at that time.

Another case how we operate: the unpleasant surprise. Don't sugarcoat it, and bring things to attention as soon as possible. Rip the bandaid off, as we say.

As for tone and content, we focus on the purpose and delivery on that purpose. This is established early in the project, and our stakeholders understand both before the project ever takes off. We anchor our updates on those aspects, as it gives stakeholders an understanding of progress, no matter what the project update includes.

Ask HN: Why can't modern smartphones play music smoothly?
As computing power grows, smartphones should theoretically encounter fewer and fewer stutters. However, at least on the phones I've used, which are iPhone8 Plus and Pixel 7, stutters still exist during music playing (even with the phone put in sleep mode). And I don't think it's only the case for the phones I've used.

The sources of the stutters I can come up with are:

1. all available LITTLE cores are busy and at least a task wake up in the meantime.
2. the CPU scheduler doesn't schedule properly (from the user experience perspective).
3. music player doesn't advice itself as latency-sensitive app.

It's easy for modern smartphones to have ready_to_run_tasks (daemons) > available_cpus, and a CPU scheduler which ignores latency-sensitive apps can easily preempt the music player.

To sum up, user experience is probably the utmost thing that modern phones care, how can things like "stutters during music playing" happen? Can't we just defer those daemon tasks?

(maybe this is why my collegue got a MP3 player instead)
It's probably fair to say that an application with native Wayland and X11 support is multiplatform. I can understand somebody disputing that, but certainly Linux and MacOS are different platforms. They don't even share executable formats.

Considering you are putting your life, that of your family and everyone on the street around you in the hands of this software, I don't get the nonchalant "sure, it's not perfect" attitude like you were trying out the beta version of a new note taking app. It absolutely has to be 100% perfect before being allowed on the streets.

> Depreciation is a normal and expected part of buying a car

The problem is that Tesla owners are spoiled. I bought my Model Y just before the supply crunch in June of 2021, and within a year used models were selling for 20% more than I paid. They've since come down a ton as demand levelled off, but even now my car has depreciated only about 18% (including inflation!) from the cost of a brand new Y with the same configuration.

It's easy enough to imagine a young Tesla buyer over the last few years getting a very weird picture of the financials of owning a car.

There are lots of cool things that probably shouldn't used by people operating heavy machinery. Phones for example.

From my experience working in this space though, judging quality is extremely difficult. For one thing, different people have different criteria. I've taken rides with other people where we all had different opinions on the quality of the ride at the end. These systems (FSD especially), can also be highly sensitive to specific details of the situation. Two drives in apparently similar conditions have meaningfully different behavior because the system understands them differently. It's very difficult to compare apples to apples outside statistics and simulation.

All this is to say: don't dismiss feelings or intuition about the danger. These are good caution signs and talking about them can help companies improve the product.
Not the author, but really nice that they shared some real data points:

> Once our Text-to-SQL solution was in production, we were also able to observe how users interacted with the system. As our implementation improved and as users became more familiar with the feature, our first-shot acceptance rate for the generated SQL increased from 20% to above 40%. In practice, most queries that are generated require multiple iterations of human or AI generation before being finalized. In order to determine how Text-to-SQL affected data user productivity, the most reliable method would have been to experiment. Using such a method, previous research has found that AI assistance improved task completion speed by over 50%. In our real world data (which importantly does not control for differences in tasks), we find a 35% improvement in task completion speed for writing SQL queries using AI assistance.
Agreed, very usable if you know SQL and iterate from whatever the LLM spits out.

It’s not everyone but how many do we need to say there’s a problem? Not sure how people can still be in denial about these things.

Theories like that also make excellent propaganda. Take a messy subject (like the economy), drain that away with some oversimple theory that supports your political goals, then push that onto the citizenry in books and articles, and watch the converted start to vote your way. Personally, I think that's the mechanism for how so many laborers have come to believe in rather extreme forms of free market capitalism.

Passkey private keys are encrypted at rest, even on the user's device. You typically need a PIN, password, or biometric to unlock the private key for authentication. Getting your hands on a sync data breach won't do you much good because each user's encrypted blob (containing the private keys) has its own decryption key.

It's not 100% fool-proof, but it's a huge improvement over password-based authentication. Remember, security is a "better than" game.

According to the README, it runs natively on ARM but it looks more like a program than an OS. So I'm sure it can be updated to run on Android or iOS if the GUI code is rewritten with their respective frameworks but making a bootable OS seems more difficult. The author wrote an article last year about making it a bootable OS by using a barebones x86 kernel and QEMU so I'm sure it could probably be repurposed for ARM devices. [1]

> Knowing the command line is one of those unsung critical skills of being a software engineer.

Yep, the command line is what lets you solve "We have 178 CSV dumps of tables that has ~60 GB of data and we want them imported into a SQL database, there's no previous DB schema info, here's a zip file of questionably named CSVs, can you have this done in 2 days?". Meanwhile there's 8,000+ columns of data that are strings, booleans, datetimes, etc. and some of the files are 15 GB each.

It didn't take too much shell scripting to solve that problem in a way that you can run it against a directory of CSV files and have it produce SQL files with table schemas that can be created and then generate the SQL to efficiently import them from a CSV. Basically a little bit of shell scripting and using tools like find, head, sed, grep, wc and friends. It took 4 hours to solve the problem in a way that was testable.
