What does FSD really give you, then? It doesn't reduce the mental toll of staying alert and anticipating the road. It's probably only safe to use on the highway. On the highway, it provides the same automated acceleration/bra

Multithreading isn't some magic thing you slap on to go faster. You'll find single-threaded event loops in all sorts of high-performance code, e.g game engines.

I have a hard time imagining engineers in any other field (e.g a structural engineer) would be getting asked questions about GPS as a proxy for general engineering knowhow.

The hardware goal of OLPC seems to have ultimately been solved by smartphones, which weren't even around in 2004. Billions of people live with a phone as their primary or only computing device. The educational goals seem murkier. Not m

It still sucks to get Covid, based on my small sample size of a few breakthrough infected friends even "mild" omicron is on par with a bad flu. It's also about 10x as contagious. Most people don't want to infect all thei

The CPC were trying to finish the war and the KMT were a military dictatorship that had just overrun the island. Presumably at this point an outsider country has no real horse in this race, except that the KMT dictatorship was massacring it

I'll take the bait: - Standard of living has increased incomprehensibly over the last 40 years. - Huge cities with incredible culture and history. - Safe to walk around at night. Imagine walking around downtown NYC or LA at 3am without

The teachers are out sick. The workload falls on the remaining teachers because there are no subs. The job was already shitty and even worse now. Teachers quit. Public school has stricter credentialing requirements than private school so it

"structurally never going to improve" seems to overstate things. Working standards in India and China will eventually improve (China is already pricing itself out of the clothing market). The era of cheap overseas labor will event

It’s weird that with interest rates at all time lows and huge amounts of money sloshing around looking for something to invest in, it’s all ended up in overpriced houses and NFTs rather than attempting to compete with these overseas manufac

You've basically described running a fancy motel for tech workers. Do you guys not have any form of front desk/building management on site? It seems crazy to run a housing unit with so many people coming in and out otherwise, part

Not a great look for someone who’s “18 years and a director” at Apple to openly acknowledge this policy as well as being extremely defensive/borderline threatening about it.

The hypothesis was that resistance mutations would negatively impact fitness (as mutations usually do), so natural selection would prefer no-resistance once the antibiotics are stopped. But instead it looks like once resistance has evolved

Protected lefts require a dedicated turn lane, and many of the intersections where this is a problem simply don't have room for them. Removing parking spaces to make room is unfortunately a fraught process that can take years. So you w

The problem is that taking a driving test in the suburbs is generally much easier than in the city, but the license counts all the same. People joke about how driving well in NYC/SF/LA/etc. traffic means you can handle drivin

This was one of the worst adjustments for me coming from an old car. I think driver testing should be updated to account for it - looking around the pillar should be as mandatory as the shoulder blind spot check when changing lanes/tur
