Something in the tone put me off. It's the standard american "MAX EFFORT" mentality/tone that's fine if you want to get pumped and try for a chance of becoming great at something, but maybe you want to have fun and make sure you don't burn out on the thing you like.

Semi-relatedly, I don't know what the better method is: Have discipline, practice all day, study, get better, or like something so much that it's just the thing you'd always rather be doing.

I guess the former works when you don't have the latter, but I don't know how many succeeded with each.
A Nepalese Movie Database like IMDB would be a cool project.
Last I heard, is that mentorship takes up too much time and is too much of an ask in any real sense.

It is better to ask concrete advice from a relevant person when you need it.

I would also say that unless you really want to be like a particular person, it is better to make ones own decisions and mistakes.

I would really appreciate some short Screencast, a bit more introduction, some examples, to get an idea what we are looking at. Maybe it is just me, but I feel that Neomacs is great and might get a user base, if potential users been able to understand within a few seconds what they are looking at.

The cultural left is becoming increasingly like the right in some ways and I’m not sure how I feel. On one hand, this might be helpful because the imbalance between a restrained left and an obnoxious right has been pushing the Overton Window in conservatives’ favor for decades and I’d be happy to see that stop. On the other hand, it upsets me to see other leftists be misinformed. Low T is a real health problem for a lot of men—-this isn’t manosphere bullshit.

I stopped calling myself a liberal in the 90s because I went to Europe for business a lot and liberal, funny enough, means conservative over there. I never really felt progressive fit—-too moderate, because it assumes all you have to do is sustain progress, but that speed isn’t crucial. And I am still on the far left but I feel less at home on the left since the shamefully misinformed reactions to the Simchat Torah massacre. I don’t support Israel’s far right government, but most of the people murdered didn’t either, and watching high school kids in Palo Alto chant a literal genocidal slogan was a wake-up call.
I assume they mean take emergency corrective action when an issue arise like google with Waymo, and the general thing will still be sorta kinda self driving like tesla does (which is not like waymo, but still better than nothing) ? Because being a network latency event away from a car crash doesn't inspire me much confidence, and I don't have to sit in one of those to be affected, just to be on the same road.

Bell Labs is wonderful to read about, and I've really loved delving into it. Alan Kay's talks in particular.

However, it should be seen as a starting point! Alternative hypothetical pasts and futures abound. One issue is that the stuff from the past always looks more legendary seen through the lens of nostalgia; it's much harder to look at the stuff around you and to go through the effort of really imagining the thing existing.

So that's my hypothesis - there isn't a smaller volume of interesting stuff going on, but viewing it with hope and curiosity might be a tad harder now, when everyone is so "worldy" (i.e., jaded and pessimistic).

Having taken Waymos and put my parents' Tesla in FSD, I wouldn't assume as much. Tesla's FSD makes mistakes more frequently, and they're bad ones, in part due to its willingness to aggressively accelerate when it thinks the road is clear.

Technicaly not accurate:

the do lend out more than they have _currently_ as deposits on their central banking accounts, you have to care about "duration transformation" - JPM has billions of loans and deposits, though most of the deposits may be currently "out of the house" (borrowed)
Now, for sure could JPM increase the balance sheet even more by another loan, if they still meet whatever balance-sheet-restrictions and if they have enough money on their central banking account.
(sure, if the loan is for a customer within the same institution, then there is no difference)

Everyone hates Elon Musk and you are all laughing, but clear your head and think straight:

This is genius. Cars meant to be without a driver as much as possible, mixing AI and AI (Artificial Intelligence and All Indians).

This allows minimising human costs with the future option of further reducing it.

There are plenty of situations and roads where Artificial Intelligence is enough: waiting for a red light, a straight, simple street, a highway…

Human operators will quickly cycle between different cars taking over in any situation that is too complicated for the computer.

What this will do to safety is a different issue.
“duped” isn’t the right word here. People optimistically paid money for a thing that didn’t exist, in the hopes that it would.

> Recent reports show the company is planning to hire a human team to remotely troubleshoot its robotaxi operations.

> Tesla would not be the first robotaxi company to use this method. In fact, it’s an industry standard. It was previously reported that Cruise, the robotaxi company owned by General Motors, was employing remote human assistants to troubleshoot when its vehicles ran into trouble (the vehicles appear to have run into trouble every four to five miles). Google’s Waymo is also thought to employ the same practice, as does Zoox, the robotaxi firm owned by Amazon.

Big pile of nothing. Fools only read titles exclusively. If Teslas offering is bad then that’s a story, but hiring human operators is the norm.

This is simply false, as attested by the huge volume of comments in this thread by those with actual professional experience working on real-world software projects.

You're also oblivious to the problem domain, because otherwise you'd understand that the critical problems are not whether a space should be at the left or at the right of a symbol, but all the churn that is required to manually address style problems in PRs.

Try to think about the problem. You post a PR that screws up all formatting. It takes time for a team member to review a PR. Once you start to get reviews,you notice comments pointing out failures in complying with a specific style. Whether you go the passive-aggressive path of waiting for any other team member to review your code or you do the right thing and fix the problems you introduced, that requires another round of PR reviews. The time that you take with each iteration is the time your work is delayed to be merged. Now think about how many hours per month you waste just because you can't manage to format your code properly.
This is great. For me the commercial Plausible is just not plausible. I have a site with 2M page views, with most of the pages cached, which keeps the server costs minimal, I pay around 50 USD per month. I don't get much revenue from the site. I want to show visit counts on the site. For 2M page views, Plausible (with the stats API) would cost 189 USD per month, quadrupling my costs.
Probably not a good idea as the battery weight wouldn't have been figured into the original chassis/brakes design.
A point that I would retain from this: That sometimes your teachers have very different tastes from you, and sometimes you have to fight your impulse to please them by absorbing their tastes and giving up your own.

Like Sivers, I've tried to learn about how you are "supposed to write songs." And then I've realized that a lot of songs I love do not actually do any of the things that you're "supposed" to do. And that is OK.

I would also agree that rotely learning jazz songs from 50 years ago... is not the spirit in which these songs were originally invented, and isn't what 60s/70s jazz musicians were doing at all, as they were trying to invent new things... That being said, if you start reading about that generation of jazz musicians, a lot of them were pretty conscious about what had come before, too. There is some kind of balance.
There seems to be a miscalculation.

Diamond density: 1.85 TB/cm³

A 25GB BluRay disc has a storage density of:

Blu-ray Disc Dimensions:

Diameter: 12 cm

Thickness: 0.12 cm

=> Volume: π * 6² * 0.12 cm³ ≈ 13.57cm³

0.025TB / 13.57 cm³ ≈ 0.00185 TB/cm³

So it‘s 1000 BluRays not 2000.
It's completely unclear what a "proof of work" captchas is supposed to be.
> fools only read titles

The lady doth protest too much?

What matters is the frequency of interventions, remote or in person. Having taken Waymos and Teslas in FSD extensively, the interventiona rate in the latter is substantially higher, in part due to them being a Level II system trying to operate globally.

The article isn't anything damning. But it's also not a nothingburger.

Network latency is no issue when operators control cars in LLM style:

„Slowly drive around on the left of the obstacle on the right, accept crossing the opposing traffic barrier line if you are sure you will be back on your side after you drove around the obstacle.“
To be fair, this looks extremely similar to the comfy node editor. Would be a little more like asking if the Ford Fusion and the Lincoln MKZ are related because they look a hell of a lot alike from the outside.

> Big pile of nothing.

Not really. In the very least it proves that at best Tesla is way behind established robotaxi operations, and once again demonstrates that Elon Musk's recurrent promise that "full self driving cars is just around the corner" is just a blatant lie to fool investors. I mean, think about it: if Tesla's promise of full self driving was indeed around the corner, why would they suddenly feel the need to hire teams of drivers to drive there cars?
Wow, today I learned (from the fifth picture's description) that the Japanese society of the time was not very different than that of what I know of the ancient Greeks, in terms of how men sexually abused boys and young men, as a societally accepted developmental progression.

Alexander and Hirohito seem like different versions of the same apotheosis of such cultures, looks to me.

Selfishness in a person's greed for sexual pleasure is not a positive force in a society, not for anyone; in fact, it is purely destructive. People -- especially men -- must learn to control themselves. No one should be forced or coerced into serving another person's sexual desires.

And, no, no young person should be raised to be the object of another person's sexual gratification. We must raise our children under the roof of compassion for them, to cultivate their emotional and intellectual and spiritual development, so that they become empathetic, positive members of society.

Part of the resulting adulthood is, for most folks, being in a mutually beneficial intimate relationship of their own choosing. That is the best outcome for society, on both an emotional and physical level. The physical level relating to disease spread is a real element of our human reality.

And however bad it was for those young men, I'm pretty sure it was far worse for women of all ages. Such is the lowness of so many, many men, especially when under the influence of alcohol, which is nothing less than a pox upon humanity.

They clearly aren’t attacking anything (with explosives or otherwise); there is clearly no immediate danger to personnel or equipment. Rather than irrationally panicking, the wise move is to seize the opportunity to observe, collect data, and learn. There are far more ways to do so than using conventional radar or other drones. If the intent of the operator(s) is actually malicious, it was pretty unwise to essentially show your cards like this.
I agree with your assessment, (most of) the most successful people that come from Ivy League schools are successful not because of their talents int their respective fortes (though that doesn’t hurt either) but mostly because of the huge amount of connections they made with others who ended up in powerful positions after attending the school.

It’s the one thing that many, including me despise. The human factor of it all, people getting raises / better chances because they are smoother socially instead of their skill for their job.

Now lately I feel like there’s been kind of a change in collective worldview, at least on the internet, where social aspects of jobs that deal with facts (math, programming, etc) are also starting to be considered important because of said human aspects of jobs.

Of course this change in online worldview is heavily skewed because influencers are the ones with a big enough audience to broadcast their opinions and influencers are often very social people.
Not genius, not by a long shot. It's not surprising they're doing this. Even Waymo has human operators for emergency situations.
I would describe the difference as: Waymo drives like a limo driver, carefully and smoothly, and tries to disappear for the passengers in the back seat. Tesla FSD drives like a car owner might, and tries to make the person in the front seat feel like the behaviour of their car is the same as they would do it.

> The German empire underwent revolts during the end of WWI

By communists and far-right :) Where were the pro-democratic mainstream protests? It was the communists (USSR) and nazis (3rd Reich) who started WW2 after being unchecked for 2 decades.

> Instead of Willhelm II they should have gotten rid of Hindenburg, who starting 1916 was singlehandedly in charge of the German military and refused every peace offer until the empire was left without allies and struggled with countless internal revolts. Instead of taking the blame for prolonging the war he walked away smelling like roses, helped establish the Weimar Republic

Is this view mainsteam in modern Germany? Considering how popular the Stab-in-the-Back theory was in interwar period I would think prolonging the war more, letting german cities be occupied etc. - would have resulted in nazis losing popularity not gaining it. So if anything - Hindenburg mistake was the opposite - saving German infrastructure and lives at the cost of making Germans conspiracy theorists and nazis.

But nevermind the WW1 peace treaty. Nazis could have been stopped at many points. If socialists managed to work with communists for one thing (but then again - Germany was already training their army in secret in USSR at that point after Rapallo, so it's probably not realistic).

The problem is that Germans seemed to protest in favour of extremes more often and more violently than against them. So extremes won.

BTW it might seem like I single out Germans. But in my country - Poland - democracy failed in a very similar way in 1926. And people were at fault too. Keeping the country democratic is the responsibility of citizens.

I mean it’s not nothing. Those companies have been honest about their practices and intentions while Elon Musk is known to have lied consistently and persistently and egregious about the “self driving” state and capabilities of Tesla and resently made the bogus claims that they had autonomous robots that were just remote controlled.

The subtext is that it’s likely Tesla will soon claim that have self driving cabs, which are just remote controlled.
not really infinity:

there are tons of balance-sheet-metrics which have to be aligned, in theory you are right; in practice, there are a lot differences.
Too bad! You don't own the company or make the decisions. The value of your life has already been determined and paying a low wage to someone far away makes the most financial sense for these companies.

We exist in a terrible, and great time.
The title leads the reader to believe that Tesla’s robotaxis will be piloted by humans rather than self-driving software. The combination of the word “control” with scare quotes on “self-driving” gives this impression.

It's coincidental that this article has reached the front page today. I just picked up The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation by Jon Gartner. (I'll let you know how it is when I finish)

One thing to consider is that Bell Labs didn't innovate for altruistic reasons like furthering the human race or scientific understanding. They innovated to further AT&T's monopoly and to increase shareholder value. This doesn't seem that different than what Meta, Google, NVIDIA, etc. are doing. Maybe in 10-20-30 years we will view the research that modern tech companies are doing through the same lens.

Although, I do admit that the freedom with which these scientists and engineers were able to conduct research is something special. Maybe that's the real difference here.
Tying together calls to existing functions is also not the difficult part of Rust, I'd guess.
