These (+ reliability concerns) are pretty much the reasons why I decided to wait until buying a new car. BMW has said they'll introduce actual self-driving features (as in, they'll assume legal liability) in 2022. While I'm o

It's widely thought to be due to the chip shortage. Tesla made numerous other adjustments due to chip shortage too.

If choosing between A and B, is it possible to later move from A to B or vice versa, and if it is, which one is harder? If it's trivial to go from A to B but not the other way around, I'd have to have very compelling reasons to ch

This was my first thought too. In lower social classes being openly gay is much harder.

That's more or less every large organization then.

Or maybe Apple is just waiting for game streaming to become the norm.

Maybe in some engineering/phd bubbles that's true, but that most definitely doesn't work the majority of the time.

If your "simples explanation" requires all non-Tesla carmakers to be incapable of using alternative chips because they "can't adapt", you should examine your personal biases.

It's not about agility, it's about other manufacturers wanting a tried and tested chip design they know will last. Tesla is more willing to gamble, although they also removed radar from their cars to reduce the need for chips.

Makes me wonder how much DeepMind could make just by keeping their protein folding proprietary and charging per use.

by tziki 5y ago
Not talking specifically about this one, but to me it seems DeepMind is producing more higher quality research and breakthroughs than other parts of Google. I wonder why that is, it's not like other parts of Google are lacking in talen

I'm also considering buying one, but Tesla is behind VW in EV sales in Europe overall, so I'm wondering why this is so upvoted and about the angle here.

TDD, when normalized for time spent writing tests, has not been found to be any better than the 'normal' way of writing tests afterwards. It's interesting how much of programming lore falls apart when you actually try to meas

I think I've just seen too many ridiculous conspiracy theories gain widespread popularity to believe that a large chunk of the population is not easily mislead.

by tziki 5y ago
You can apply all your logic to any major conspiracy theory. Did we land on the moon? It shouldn't be so controversial if we actually did. You say 9/11 was an inside job? Pfft, drop the self-righteous attitude.

I'm surprised to see the portion of NEET is much higher for women. Any idea why this is? Do they not count women who are full time mothers?

Finland is currently in the process of trying something similar. The main criticism has been that it puts too much pressure on people too early. It works for some people but there are plenty of those who simply won't assign any homewor

Number of bugs per line also goes way up when the average length of functions goes below 5, and the effect in most studies is larger than the effect of too large functions.

Gates definitely doesn't come across as tyrant-like, and quick googling suggests he's participative as a leader.

Something like this should be part of every engineering curriculum. As a small anecdote, I've several times ran into engineers who spent inordinate amounts of time to make the system just a tiny bit more type safer, and when I ask how

For better or worse, Chrome is still the browser to beat when it comes to newest browser APIs. My hobby project is an app that utilizes some of them and more than once I've found myself considering dropping support for other browsers.

I wonder how (or if) they account for self-cencorship, which has become quite common along with the spread of cancel culture.

I wish them success, but my prediction is that in a few years they'll have no successful products and the world's chocolate makers have found new suppliers. You can't just make a decision to create successful products.
