10. CSV doesn't need commas!

Use a different separator if you need to.

CSV is the Vim of formats. If you get a CSV from 1970 you can still load it.
Surely you’ve come across situations where line number 10,000,021 of a 60m line CSV fails to parse because there aren’t enough fields in that line of the file…? The issue is that you can’t definitively know which of the 50 fields is missing, so you have to fail the line or worse the file.

In my experience (perhaps more niche than yours since you mentioned it has been your day job), the lack of fall back options makes for brittle integrations. Failing entire files due to a borked row can be expensive in terms of time.

Having to ingest large CSV files from legacy systems has made me rethink the value of XML, lol. Types and schemas add complexity for sure, but you get options for dealing with variances in structure and content.
which is why those of us who aren't idiots and hucksters need to think critically about computers, ourselves, and the roles of both in the world. unexamined optimism is no virtue

The fact that json can represent a superset of tabular data structures that csv is specifically designed to represent can be rephrased into that csv is more specialised than json in representing tabular data. The fact that json can also represent tabular data does not mean it is a better or more efficient way to represent that data instead of a format like csv.

In the same way, there are hierarchically structured datasets that can be represented by both json in hierarchical form and csv in tabular form by repeating certain variables, but if using csv would require repeating them too many times, it would be a bad idea to choose that instead of json. The fact that you can do sth does not always make it a good idea to do it. The question imo is about which way would be more natural, easy or efficient.

Your tiny island nation (New Zealand) with a GDP an order of magnitude bigger than Botswana's?

Sure, developing a single satellite isn't something that makes a lot of sense in a first order economic assessment. They are definitely not going to be able to sell the data they collect for the millions of dollars they spent on the program. And they definitely spent more on the satellite than they would have spent buying equivalent imagery from commercial providers for the next few years. There is almost no chance that they will have a satellite with competitive technical specs.

But nobody is comparing Botswana to NZ. This is their first satellite. Having a satellite program at the national university is a point of national pride. It will inspire their young people and encourage them to study STEM. It gives valuable practical experience to their people, some of whom might go on to start a space systems company and bring high tech business opportunities to their country. This is a step toward moving part of their economy from being based on natural resources (diamonds, the value of which are subject to the whims of a cartel that they don't control), to being based on knowledge.
That would be the most basic thing, but you'd never be able to use it (toy code written for an internet comment aside).

1. Errors quickly lose their usefulness if you simply pass them up the stack. Even just on the surface, if you don't even know where the error came from, good luck making sense of it. Other languages have tried to avoid that problem by having things like "sidecar" handlers that can handle the error elsewhere, but in the end that's just moving code around. You haven't actually solved the overhead of needing to do something with the error.

2. Errors simply passed up the stack are, more often than not, going to leak implementation details. Consider a function that fetches data from a SQL database, where the underlying operations produce a "SQLNoResults" error. If you let that flow through, callers are going to start to rely on it. Now, imagine new requirements dictate that you need to fetch the data from an HTTP service instead. If you continue to simply pass the error along, now callers are going to get a "HTTPNotFound" error instead, breaking their usage. Not a good situation.
I find the entire wasted resources thing silly. For $1 Trillion you could give every person on Earth clean water. The world will spend more than that trying to improve the AI models this year.
I am comparing your words about WASM to your words about JS. Misdirections about VCs are irrelevant. You can expect the WASM target to have as great or greater longevity than the JS target, and if your prediction about future failure isn't true of JS then it won't be true of WASM.

Another point of view is, if CVC violations were enforced against human drivers as robustly as they are against Waymos; and if human drivers were held to the same standards of liability as Waymos; human drivers in California would be way safer too. To me, the overall safety of all the driverless programs should be interpreted as a huge victory for regulators.

It's a great name. "G" matches the company, it's easy to say, it's a known word, it sounds good spoken, and the word itself has many subjective interpretations as to what it might mean (e.g. gemini = twins = you and AI).

You genuinely do not understand the level of personal freedom we have restricted in Québec to protect our language. As a francophone, I am forbidden by law to send my children to English school. Any public signage MUST have French predominantly displayed. Any company of a certain size MUST allow its workers to work in French. Any immigrant can receive government services for six months in a language other than French.

We are not kidding when we say that the American way of life and the Quebec one are incompatible. But this is all moot, the Canadian constitution would require a referendum to decapitate Canada, and that would never get the 50% vote per province that is required. Right now they'd get at most 10%.

I think we're in agreement then, I'm saying the specialists of this stripe:

This is the strategic level thinking I'm referring to. Frankly this role might not be safe either, but if that's the case then we're probably headed for fully automated luxury communism no matter what we do.

> Nothing had changed about the plane’s performance. It’s just that, in the eyes of some international customers, the F-35 can’t fully be trusted anymore because of who is the commander-in-chief. Donald Trump has an affinity for authoritarianism, has exhibited poor treatment of NATO (whose Article 5 obligates collective defense), and, in particular, has threatened to annex Greenland and Canada.

Ignoring the biased language (affinity for authoritarianism.. lol), those reasons are not supported by their sources.

The qualms have been from the trade wars in particular, so leaders are using purchases of the F35 as a negotiating tactic.

Then the article attempts to intertwine software updates as reasoning, which is true, but has nothing to with Trump, as nothing has changed regarding that since previous admins.

I am glad to see people concerned about US military sales overseas though. Very important we keep that up /s

The Z80 is still an insanely popular microcontroller, that can be found it so, so many devices. Head down to your local Walmart's toy aisle open some of the electronics there (Post-collapse, of course) and you'll certainly find a few.

That's not as easy as just dropping a full computer on your desk, but having a low power processor that's easy to find replacements for would be useful. That is, of course, if you spent the time pre-collapse to learn how to make a useful system out of those components, which I suspect is the real goal of Collapse OS.
I shudder to think what happens to the software developer job market up here if all the TN holders came back suddenly, if NAFTA were to be officially terminated in 2026 (as seems possible.)

> Using human crash data, Waymo estimated that human drivers on the same roads would get into 78 crashes serious enough to trigger an airbag. By comparison, Waymo’s driverless vehicles only got into 13 airbag crashes. That represents an 83 percent reduction in airbag crashes relative to typical human drivers.

> This is slightly worse than last September, when Waymo estimated an 84 percent reduction in airbag crashes over Waymo’s first 21 million miles.

nitpick: Is it really slightly worse, or is it "effectively unchanged" with such sparse numbers? At a glance, the sentence is misleading even though it might be correct on paper. Could've said: "This improvement holds from last September..."

Bugger all. We had something go straight through.
The workaround is even more cancerous but you could wrap it in a struct:

type NotificationWrapper struct {
// This field holds the actual notification data
Value interface{}
}

And use it like:

func NewPushNotification(token, title, message string, expires time.Time) NotificationWrapper {
return NotificationWrapper{
Value: PushNotification{
DeviceToken: token,
Title: title,
Message: message,
ExpiresAt: expires,
},
}
}

And destructure it with something like

func ProcessNotification(notification NotificationWrapper) string {
switch n := notification.Value.(type) {

Roll it all up in a nice syntax with a preprocessor haha

Tab-Separated Value, as implemented by many databases, solves these problems, because tab, newline and other control characters are escaped. For example, the default text serialization format of Postgres (`COPY <table> TO '<file>'` without any options) is this way.

"Prodigy" and "genius" both lack rigorous definitions, so your problem might simply be one of cherry picking. Going with my own gut on each definition, here are a few examples to add to those already provided by sibling comments:

* Magnus Carlsen (chess grandmaster by 14, world champion for 10 years as an adult)

* Frédéric Chopin (concert pianist at 7, one of the top composers for piano)

* Blaise Pascal (rediscovered Euclid on his own at 12 with no training, went on to become one of the most famous mathematicians of all time).

* John van Neumann (could divide two 8-digit numbers in his head at age 6, learned calculus by 8, went on to be a founding figure in computer science).

Shall I go on, or is this enough?
This is an astoundingly bad take. Knowledge workers don’t passively gain money by holding a productive asset - they WORK. It’s in the name.

The fact that you do not understand anything besides physical work as work is perplexing and, honestly, pathetic. It smacks of someone who has failed to make a life for themself, and is lashing out at anyone who is a viable scapegoat.
I don't understand the difference between what is described in the article and how Android has been developed from the start. They have always developed new versions internally and then dumped into AOSP right before release. https://groups.google.com/g/android-building/c/T4XZJCZnqF8/m...
> Literally nothing can clear that bar.

That's just not true. Every language that doesn't allow casting pointers to integers (that is, JVM, Javascript, Python and literally everything but C/C++) is more memory-safe that WASM. Yes, performance on these more or less sucks. But what I'm trying to tell, the only advantage WASM has over native code is portability, it's no more safe than native code, most interpreted languages (where "interpreted" includes bytecode and JIT) are safer.

I’ve honestly been a dick twice through immigration, once accidentally and once a bit more purposely. I haven’t seen any evidence of this pattern of retribution. Like, civil-rights activists exist and aren’t constantly held up at the border.
One of the more interesting things Waymo discovered early in the project is that the actual incidents of vehicle collision were under-counted by about a factor of 3. This is because NHTSA was using accident reports and insurance data for their tracking state, but only 1/3 of collisions were bad enough for either first responders or insurance to get involved; the rest were "Well, that'll buff out and I don't want my rates to go up, so..." fender-taps.

But Waymo vehicles were recording and tracking all the traffic around them, so they ended up out-of-the-starting-gate with more accurate collision numbers by running a panopticon on drivers on the road.
If they did ever have such a plan, they've clearly long since abandoned it. I bet they entertained the idea at one point but it was never seriously put into action.
“Hey, I mean this word to mean something different from you and therefore you are wrong; I am very intelligent.” is a genre of post I am very tired of reading.

The problem with an exposed liquid is that will definitely lose its potency a lot quicker. A softgel keeps the active ingredient somewhat protected from oxidation. It also depends on the level of antioxidant present in the liquid. This matters in the tail end of the bottle.
Seems like an inherent contradiction to try to stand out using a platform designed to help people to stand out. If you wish to stand out, doing something differently seems like a better option.

At least in my personal experience, having a personal website where I write about interesting stuff I do has opened a lot more doors than linkedin ever did.
I wonder how many of those airbag crashes were an At-fault or shared-fault of the Waymo AVs.

JSON is designed to represent JavaScript objects with literal notation. Guess what, an array of strings or an array of numbers or even an array of mixed strings and numbers is a commonly encountered format in JavaScript.

They now sometimes dub the audio track. The result is about as horrible as one would imagine. Whoever decided to turn this on by default clearly didn't give a damn.
I would hope so! Are these rides actually cheaper? Assumably this is orders of magnitude less expensive than hiring a human and the driver is what you pay for. I don't see myself ever getting in a car if my safety is actually a concern.

I don't see myself using any of these any time soon, I tend to drive and walk everywhere and don't see much point to paying someone else to drive barring extenuating circumstances. But assuming actual cost benefits are delivered to customers this might be pretty exciting.
The issue is things go bad.

Yes, that's the whole subtext. These kinds of developments with multiple freestanding units on a single lot are generally disallowed by the previous generation of zoning and planning rules. Note how these changes are allowing "friend complexes" on lots zoned multifamily already.
Waymos choose the routes, right?

The issue with self-driving is (1) how it generalises across novel environments without "highly-available route data" and provider-chosen routes; (2) how failures are correlated across machines.

In safe driving failures are uncorrelated and safety procedures generalise. We do not yet know if, say, using self-driving very widely will lead to conditions in which "in a few incidents" more people are killed in those incidents than were ever hypothetically saved.

Here, without any confidence intervals, we're told we've saved ~70 airbag incidents in 20 mil miles. A bad update to the fleet will easily eclipse that impact.
I’m sorry but you will be the first to go in this new age. LLMs today are absolutely mind blowing, along with this image stuff. Either learn to adapt or remain a boomer.
Another point of view is: does the comparison involve similar vehicles, with similar maintenance, and under similar conditions?
Considering that there's a >1000:1 ratio of regular cars to Waymo AVs - Waymo would have to be EXTREMELY terrible at driving to move the numbers for the other group meaningfully - which would show up in Waymo's own crash data.

There's also historical data. So if you saw a spike in crashes for regular vehicles after Waymo arrives, it would be sus. But there is no such spike. Further evidence Waymo isn't causing problems for non AVs.

Of course anything is possible. But it's unlikely.
i bet if this goes everywhere, in some places the shops would be emptied. Because, stockpiling is the usual-way-to-live there, without anyone telling you. No water for 2 days? ah. big deal. Power gone for half a day? meh.

But, now that's officially telling it..
The closest software analogy I’ve heard is like passing around a callable/function with a standard interface. An LLM can call the callable and work with the returned data without needing to go back and forth between your application logic.
