I used to work for one of these companies (wasn't really a fan of them, and it wasn't Waymo nor Tesla). There's certainly some level of creating optimistic disengagement numbers, but not on the scale of orders of magnitude; my guesstimate would be on the order of 5% or 10%.

They can't fudge them too hard without the CA DMV yanking their license.

> People are doing 2-3hour drives with FSD 12 with no disengagement. You should check out the recent progress.

2 or 3 hours is impressive in a vacuum, but not all that much compared to the other players. It's an accomplishment for sure, and would have been overall impressive in 2018 or 2020. In 2024, it's only impressive because it can do it without lidar or radar, and even then that may only be because Tesla is the only one doing that so there's really not a comparison point.

It's certainly still an accomplishment, but I'm not convinced that it's economically relevant at this point. Best of luck to them.

To be clear, I dislike Tesla, but I do hope this works out because the alternatives are much too expensive for consumers to actually own. They'll have to use an Uber/Lyft kind of system because the lidar sensors alone cost more than a Lamborghini last I heard.

They do appear to be having basically the exact issues people thought they would have without lidar, though. Namely that different types of sensors are vulnerable to different types of phantom objects, and it's difficult to eliminate those without either having a different sensor that doesn't see those phantoms to sanity check against, or creating issues with failing to detect real objects.

A couple of examples: Video is prone to detecting the stick cyclist on road signs as an actual cyclist, where it's obvious on lidar that it's a road sign. Inversely, lidar can read steam (like that coming out of a sewer manhole) as a physical object where video can tell that it isn't.

It's difficult to use a single signal to fix either of those without having knock on effects that cause failures to detect real objects. It's much easier to use a combination of signals to disintermediate. Cyclists are not flat, so lidar tells you it's not a cyclist.

> Meanwhile, Waymo is somehow going to map out in full detail entire countries in order to ever scale up.

They're owned by the preeminent digital maps provider, who likely has other uses for that data and will be able to package and re-sell it to the other vendors that require mapping data.

It's also worth pointing out that population, travel routes and income are not equally distributed. It's almost certainly an 80/20 problem where mapping 20% of a country lets you handle 80% of the rides. They can reach ~10% of the US population by mapping a number of cities you can count on your fingers. Highways are incredibly easy to map, so it wouldn't be difficult to interconnect those cities.
Put differently: you can’t run a windows/linux exploit on a Linux/windows machine just because they can both connect to the Internet.
While I love the hardware design and wish it could be similar to what at StreamDeck is currently for me, how is this different than using a Slack huddle?

Hello! My name is Kyle, and I have over eight (8+) years of comprehensive backend software engineering experience across all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for enterprise web applications within the renewable energy and biopharmaceutical industries. I have a strong background in designing, implementing, and maintaining small to large-scale web applications using Python and PostgreSQL.

In addition to my technical skills, I am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Throughout my career, I have taken pride in mentoring and creating an environment where team members feel empowered to learn, grow, and share their knowledge.
A Human Centipede is a Monoid in the category of digestive tracts.
The problem with this is that you will often end up with something that seemingly works (barely), but the way you got there precludes you from advancing further.

To be clear I’m glad we don’t live in the kind of totalitarian state that would have been required for such extreme measures, but …

Keeping deaths to ~1/4 million would have been theoretically possible from extreme social distancing until total mandatory vaccination of the population was achieved.

I’m rather glad we didn’t go down that route, but it’s worth remembering when we opened things up it was with full knowledge that people would die from those choices.
I really wish we'd see more developers support and verify their apps. Steam, Signal, Chrome, etc. It's probably the most popular way to ship desktop apps on Linux at this point.
Yes. I think your issue is a symptom of a broader problem: the takeover of UI by graphic designers, causing the virtual extinction of usability experts.

UIs today, first and foremost, are built for branding and marketing reasons. Usability and information accessibility have fallen way down in priority. I think this is the main reason why we see so much “responsive design” which is really just shoehorning mobile UIs into the desktop browser. To product managers it’s far more important to maintain consistent look and feel / branding across mobile and desktop than it is to achieve optimal usability for each platform.
The philosopher Rick Roderick does a talk about existential
priorities, about how the necessary conditions for appreciating
literature are having food in your stomach - that kind of Maslow's
stuff. In it there's this absolutely devastating, knock-down line
where he says of modernity;

"People aren't afraid of dying any more. We're afraid of being seen
wearing the wrong trainers"

That was like 1997, and it sound truer today than ever. In a culture
so steeped in vanity, with entire economies built on vanity, it's no
wonder that form triumphs over function. To even talk about function
is to invite ridicule. This is an age where people need a _thin_
laptop, no matter that it costs 10x the price, breaks if you stare at
it too hard, and catches fire when you charge it.
> AFAIK almost no libraries are written with the expectation that their computations might be interrupted at any time by another thread.

Haskell libraries are written this way all the time. Exception-safe libraries with async-aware handling are pretty commonplace nowadays (partially thanks to safe-exceptions and unsafeio providing a nice API to deal with them.)
M4 is looking pretty interesting. Near 10% IPC uplift and they bumped the e-core on the base M4, so we're probably looking at the same 12 p-cores for the M4 max, but likely going from 4 to 12 e-cores (two of the 6-core complexes).

In multithreaded workloads, 2 of their current e-cores are roughly equivalent to 1 p-core, so that would represent the equivalent of 4 extra p-cores.
The way how the Cypress FX series works (and for that matter majority of non-trivial USB-to-something chips do) is that there is a bunch of DMA-capable peripherals inside and the in fact ridiculously underpowered CPU core inside only sets up the required configuration for the DMA transactions to happen.

Riven remake coming out June 25th
As expected, the typical currently popular racist and sexist rhetoric dressed up in pretty words.
I believe these will come back at some point and someone will claim they invented them. But right now we're in the enshitificaiton phase, UI things are changed but slowly functionality is taken away from users on purpose.
Most FPGAs with transceivers can do it.
Not to mention the widespread safe-exceptions and unliftio provide an API that makes it hard to shoot yourself in the foot.

Pretty funny that Haskell of all languages also has best-in-class exceptions & exception handling haha.
The main challenge is the earth to probe comms for distant probes, since the earth is often very close (in an angular sense) to the sun from the probes perspective, and the sun gives out a lot of black body radiation.

However, due to the shape of the black body radiation curve, the sun gives out relatively less microwave radiation than it does visible light, which might outweigh the advantages of more directionality given by using a laser.

While Bootstrap certainly abstracts CSS away for you in a way that you can get by without knowing much about CSS (for simple things), Tailwind is just tokenized CSS. You can't use Tailwind without knowing CSS or learning CSS in the process.

Generalist software engineer seeking a non-web role ideally, although I'm happy to work on anything as long as I get to write code. At work, I've mostly contributed to .NET/C# web and desktop applications. In my free time I've explored (read: dabbled in - I don't claim to be an expert in them) diverse areas of software including web and application security, 3D graphics, embedded software, kernel/drivers, compilers, and Linux programming. I'm currently working through Casey Muratori's code performance course.

Cinebench R23 was built on Intel Embree. ;)

You can cherry pick libraries that Geekbench 6 uses that are old or niche but do they do a good job as proxies?

The point of a general CPU benchmark is to predict CPU performance. For that, Geekbench does an outstanding job. [0]

I'd say it goes further: there's patches of fungus (extending for acres, sometimes) that cultivate the forest cover that grows over them. In my area they like sumacs, cedars, orchids, and several other things. The otherwise dominant oaks, sweet gums and tulip poplars can't get a hold on those patches of land, even after a clear cut "restart".

Frequently morels are near these areas.

But if you visit NASA space center, and have the means, definitely do the VIP tours.

The depth, the quality, the passion of the guides, are an order of magnitude better than the generic tours they offer.

The regular ones are often lead by young inexperienced hires, mostly reading from a script, and you go through extremely curated exhibits.

On the VIP tour, we had a 30 year veteran who was on first name basis with the last few directors. We did things that made you think “I can’t believe we’re allowed to do/touch/see that” over and over again.
Roboflow | Full-Stack Engineer + Field Engineer | Full-time (Remote, SF, NYC) | https://roboflow.com/careers?ref=whoishiring0624

Roboflow is the fastest way to use computer vision in production. We help developers give their software the sense of sight. Our end-to-end platform[1] provides tooling for image collection, annotation, dataset exploration and curation, training, and deployment.

Over 250k engineers (including engineers from 2/3 Fortune 100 companies) build with Roboflow. We now host the largest collection of open source computer vision datasets and pre-trained models[2]. We are pushing forward the CV ecosystem with open source projects like Autodistill[3] and Supervision[4]. And we've built one of the most comprehensive resources for software engineers to learn to use computer vision with our popular blog[5] and YouTube channel[6].

We have several openings available but are primarily looking for strong technical generalists who want to help us democratize computer vision and like to wear many hats and have an outsized impact. Our engineering culture is built on a foundation of autonomy & we don't consider an engineer fully ramped until they can "choose their own loss function". At Roboflow, engineers aren't just responsible for building things but also for helping us figure out what we should build next. We're builders & problem solvers; not just coders. (For this reason we also especially love hiring past and future founders.)

We're currently hiring full-stack engineers for our ML and web platform teams, a web developer to bridge our product and marketing teams, several technical roles on the sales & field engineering teams, and our first applied machine learning researcher to help push forward the state of the art in computer vision.

> Every scrollbar is transparent, disappearing, tiny, and exceedingly difficult to grab. Why? I guess UI designers decided that scrollbars are ugly.

It’s kind of obvious, isn’t it? Every mouse now has a scroll wheel (or corresponding mechanism) and on touch displays, scrolling needs no scrollbar either.

Of course, it’s still terrible to remove the only indication that a box has more information available that can fit, and is therefore scrollable. Not to mention the useful property of seeing both your current approximate position and the total size at a glance.
> I try to remember how the general demise of OK/ cancel buttons came about

I think there was a time when dialogs had all three: Apply, Ok, Cancel. I formed the habit of clicking Apply and then Ok back then.

Either way, I think Ok went away when smartphones were introduced, because they traded checkboxes with those horizontal slider buttons. Then someone had the idea what works on a smartphone should work everywhere and now we have that everywhere.

It's not a continuous piecewise linear approximation of the logarithm, it's a discrete piecewise linear approximation of the logarithm. You are correct that the blue lines aren't continuous, but incorrect about their interpretation - there are 256 individual points evenly spaced along the that x axis that make up the blue graph, not just a handful at the intersections. (A full graph would have 2^32 options in a piecewise linear pattern, but that isn't what the OP has graphed.)

Given that the article is talking about operations on 32 bit integers and IEEE-754 32-bit floats, I personally think it's fine to leave out "discrete" in the description.

The first day I joined a martial arts class was very humbling. I was asked to to spar with a senior. For a good 15 minutes I tried to hit him. I mean I really tried, and to no avail. I distinctly remember thinking how easy it would be to punch the senior, and could not understand why I could not hit him. Between that and doing pushups until failure. I really did not want to go back. I did, and stuck with it, but that really was a reality check for me.
