  • I'm sorry to hear that you were beaten by members of your family as a child. You didn't deserve that. No child deserves that. I hope you are okay and safe today.

    If you don't mind my asking, do you relate to Betty's words in some way because of your experience? If so, in what way?

  • Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. You are helping me appreciate this comic more.

    What did you relish about Betty's dialogue? Was it amusing and/or relatable to you?

    I see your point about Veronica. Do you think she might be representing society in this comic? Who or what does Betty represent, do you think?

    I think maybe this comic might have something to do with the dichotomy of shame and envy. Maybe your point about society relates somehow to that dichotomy? What do you think about that idea?

  • Nailed it. Things have changed to allow cheaper (interpretable in several ways) developers to create "good enough" software as quickly as possible. If that involves inefficient frameworks, technology, and practices that unlock this, then so be it; if the "best" code is the code that makes money, and money is what corporations prioritize above all else, and there is a way to do that quicker and cheaper, the outcome is obvious and now ubiquitous. Furthermore, if nobody at the top cares, why should anyone on the ground care? The problem compounds.

    Priorities are fucked.

  • Autopilot hasn’t received any updates for years.

    Like I said, demonstrates neglect.

  • If Kleenex were the only ones doing facial tissue, then this could be, "toilet paper vs. Kleenex", and you'd be wondering "why isn't this Charmin vs Kleenex?" while Charmin happened to be the TP brand they chose because they had access to it.

    Tesla is the only one doing camera-only self driving, so there's no point in delineating the two. Lidar you can expect from any other brand, so it's a token choice in this instance, especially for an engineering entertainment video.

  • Autopilot is just adaptive cruise control that keeps the car in lane.

    Anyone who watches the video in question knows this statement is misleading. Autopilot also stops when it detects an obstacle in the way (well, it's supposed to, but the video demonstrates otherwise). Furthermore, decades old adaptive cruise from other brands will stop too because even they have classic radar or laser range-finding.

    If even the most basic go no-go + steer operation based on computer vision can't detect and stop before obstacles, why trust an even more complicated solution? If they don't back-port some apparent detection upgrade from fsd to the basic case, that demonstrates even further neglect anyway.

    The whole point that everyone is dancing around is that Tesla gambled that cheaping out by using only cameras would be fine, but it cannot even match decades-old technology for the basic case.

    Did they test it against decades old adaptive cruise? No, that's been solved, but they did test it against that technology's next generation, and it ran circles around vision not backed by a human brain.

  • The future of Amazon coders is the present of Amazon warehouse workers

  • Left unsaid: the future of Amazon coders is the future of industry coders. Every other organization will clamor to do the same, and Amazon will productize it and offer it as yet another 3-letter service on AWS. Developers will be made to devops themselves into their own demise.

    Edit:

    Further, they will do to the software development industry what they did to retail, data centers, hosting, systems administration, and IT.

  • Basically, they aren't hurting yet.

    Exactly. You could reduce their wealth by a factor of 1000, and they would still have more than 90% of people. They will never be genuinely hurt by losses. Not like 99% of people would be.

    The chart shouldn't make anyone happy. The true horror of it should be realized; in reality it's an accounting of how much they're "spending" money to make money. They will continue to make more. The scales here are unfathomable to most people.

    It's borderline misinformation to not include their total wealth for context.

  • it is detectable [...] server side, if you download the script [vs] pipe it into a shell

    I presume you mean if you download the script in a browser, vs using curl to retrieve it, where presumably you are piping it to a shell. Because yeah, the user agent is going to reveal which tool downloaded it, of course. You can use curl to simply retrieve the file without executing it though.

    Or are you suggesting that curl makes something different in its request to the server for the file, depending on whether it is saving the file to disk vs streaming it to a pipe?
