I mean if your dads are doctors like Sagebrushs and HPHs you're gonna get an inheritance for sure, not to mention a nice financially secure childhood. both my parents were doctors but they went into biotech startupland my 3rd grade, we were in the projects in providence rhode island. my 4th grade, i went to rancho santa fe elementary, average parent net worth >5mil it was extremely strange

rjmccall posted:it always turns out that business logic is programming and that couching it in friendlier terms or making everything into shiny boxes in a flowchart doesn't magically make businesspeople capable of doing it. turning vague requirements into something firm enough to be implemented ais a skill that a lot of people don't have and don't want to acquire. programming is not going to disappear as a profession, and it probably won't even shrink that much. what it might do is continue to slowly slip from being an upper-middle-class job into something more solidly middle-class programmer was solidly middle class 40 years ago. it whacked itself up to upper middle class actually in the valley

Sagebrush posted:Has Tesla ever explained why they use 18650 cells (or their new slightly bigger but nearly identical form factor) instead of some larger format with less packaging? Surely there has to be a way of making the packs smaller and lighter by not using 10,000 little cylindrical metal cans inside. the fire suppression stuff depends on high surface area

Cybernetic Vermin posted:this'd be a huge derail to get into discussing very deeply, but this is a wide-ranging assumption that it is somewhat invisible to people; deep learning techniques have had a of success when getting data thrown at them, but there is no actual argument or proof why they must necessarily keep going towards perfection in every scenario we imagine, such as self-driving cars it's not, "they perfectly self-drive", it's, "they self-drive 10x better than peeps" not a low bar, not an impossibly high bar. w/o rain, I think googcar is getting close (and only googcar) we knew that as soon as you poke a single goddamn thing combinatorial explosions fall out in neural net land, and we've known that since the 60's. but backprop already is a O(n^(2r)) to O(rn^2) speed improvement anyhow per minibatch so you know
