Cruise publishes a lot of their AVs driving around SF for over an hour. In a video from their YouTube channel [1], at around 22:29, you can see exactly how they handle a steep 4-way intersection. You can also see on the above visualization what objects their system sees as it is performing the maneuver.

The evidence is easily accessible - next time I suggest you just research a little bit first instead of going straight to speculating.

Oh, it's even more interesting than that!

From Wikipedia [1]:

> Following Google's corporate restructuring under the conglomerate Alphabet Inc. in October 2015, Alphabet took "Do the right thing" as its motto, also forming the opening of its corporate code of conduct.[1][2][3][4][5] The original motto was retained in Google's code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. In April 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct's preface and retained in its last sentence.[6]

That's pretty hyperbolic and also seemingly irrelevant. There are enough companies that don't have this expectation and give new engineers the time and space to become familiar with the company before setting any concrete performance goals.

I love this. The 3D planar background + synthpop tune just make it. If I had to give this a name, I'd call it "retro marketing". I hope more companies do this kind of stuff.

Thank you! I had discovered it when I was playing around with it but forgot to mention that.

Just tried out both of these for a large endpoint.

- FX "expand/collapse" functionality seems way better for exploring APIs whose shape you don't know

- jid is maybe marginally better for APIs where you have instant recall of the exact shape and need to rapidly query it

Overall, I like FX better because it provides feedback on your query faster.

I am grateful to the author(s) for creating it and I'll be using it instead of JQ whenever I need to wrangle APIs from the CLI.

Sounds about right based on my experience with AWS for past 8 years. Does anyone (besides AWS/TF/Pulumi, for whom it’s not their core product) attempt to solve the networking and IAM? These two areas, esp AWS networking, despite being fundamental building blocks, just never get coverage.

I know I’m being a beggar and beggars can’t be choosers, however, I believe that there are folks here who could solve this problem and make a nice living off of it. Hope someone reads this comment and builds something to address this.

Three independent, but somewhat related thoughts on this topic:

1). On HOWTO articles about infra (1/2): I'd like to see more articles that lead with requirements, rather than setups that then justify the setup with requirements. Like, congrats, you managed to host a bunch of web applications via containers on a dedicated server. It's really nice for a super personal project and I'm sure it helped OP gain a lot of operational experience across several domains, but I just find this type of article to be "DYI porn" for a highly specific subset of DYI.

2). On HOWTO articles about infra (2/2): Is there any sort of comprehensive infra setup guide out there? Even something that just covers "core" AWS services (CloudFront, EC2, ELB, ECS, Lambda, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and a few others...) feels like it would be incredibly useful for so many people.

3). "AWS on Rails" - I feel like we're getting close to a time when "AWS on Rails" emerges and we see the birth of a new opinionated tool that says "Most people just want to ship their product, not fiddle with cloud infra. Do it our way and you can focus on product instead of infra"

Svelte and Vue got started when someone just went and did it. If you think it's so important to have many competitors in this space, just go and do it :)

Blinds literally work in a large office space. I work in such a space now. We get direct sunlight most of the year. If it’s too bright, people just go up to the window and put up the blinds. If it’s an overcast day, sometimes the blinds are up, sometimes they’re down, just based on any random person’s whim. As I said above, if you work in a place that literally makes the room so bright that you can’t see your screen, the solution is probably not to argue about your ideal setup with strangers on HN, but rather to have a conversation with your coworkers and make it so you can actually see your screen.

No, just personal experience. When I worked at Uber, the main office was so big that it meant that large parts of the office were dark. Some teams, like, super critical to the core business and highly compensated paid teams, actually hung a bunch of plants in their area as a way to cope with not seeing sunlight.

Someone going on a rant about how miserable they were about having too much sunlight, while at the same time being incapable of applying incredibly common trivial solutions to solve this calamity - I found this quite silly and it made me a bit upset.

Have you considered:

1. joining any one of the other 99.9% of companies where the CEO is not a sun worshipper?

2. if (1) not an option, using blinds?

This seems unnecessarily complex - have you considered replacing this with rsync + cron job?

There's no true ADHD. ADHD has many different manifestations. The one trait I have seen described that seemed most common was "difficulty with impulse control"

Have you read the GitLab S-1? They have great retention with larger companies. Can you substantiate any of your claims? (FYI I have no horse in this race, I evaluated GH vs GL recently and decided to stay on GH for now)

Why is storytelling aka communicating not a “real problem”?

I agree with you about your point. In this case it sounds more like lying. I believe that the best stories are also honest with their listeners.

Solving problems is incredibly important. You can often succeed with that alone. The most successful ventures do both.

Maybe it's better to just spend 5 minutes looking into that question instead of coming up with random reasons.

The paper was originally graded by a TA who gave the "C" grade. Watson appealed the grade to the professor. The professor reviewed it and upheld the "C" grade, stating that he had not sufficiently convinced her that the amendment was still alive.

This is literally not at all what happened.

Uhh yes they do.

Just make sure to not accidentally add an extra space in the Thrift annotation, or else it will globally bring down upfront pricing

Saw a startup recently building something like “PowerPoint for animated documents” - https://www.unscene.app/

Crazy that no one’s made this before

Why would you subject yourself to that? Just have them come over and help you carry your heavy tower and even heavier CRT to LAN at their house, even if it’s a mile away (me and friends literally did this in Fremont, CA - though I believe it might have been a bit less than a mile)

Saw Lain growing up. Quite fond of it. Pretty weak at predicting the future. You know who was pretty good at it? Isaac Asimov (spoilers ahead). My favorite example:

Protagonist visits a highly advanced planet where everyone lives on their own plot of land. People lead lives of leisure, all of their needs are taken care of by highly efficient robots. However, they are terrified of physical contact, especially with the protagonist, due to a risk of infection with off-planet viruses. Here’s where it gets kinda scary:

- all interactions are done via advanced telepresence. It’s been perfectly replicated to mimic physical interaction. People only meet in person, apprehensively, for reproductive purposes

- one of the main supporting characters is an extreme extrovert who subliminally craves physical human contact. Due to society’s rules, the only thing she’s able to do is take lots of socially distanced telepresence walks with a friend.

This book was written in 1957.

Maybe one day, you'll even be confident enough to not make a throwaway account to say something like this.

It wasn’t clear enough that if it isn’t, you’ll be expected to give me $500?

Let's make a gentlemens' bet. If Deno is still completely free in 5 years, I'll give you $500. You up for that?

> Like you have a react hook and some components that you can compose, and the typedefs just become unwieldy and impossible to get right. Often they end up not even catching what should be compilation errors.

I’m curious - how do Elm and Kotlin solve these problems in a way that balances the often competing goals of “add types to reduce errors” vs “have a high productivity environment where it’s quick and easy for engineers to write new code”?

Yes

How come you found it unexpected?
