I assume this is not a HW4 vehicle?
I am empathetic to the disappointment of older vehicle owners who have been promised this capability for years and still don't see it (because their hardware just can't -- and the hardware upgrade isn't coming either).
That said, the new Y with 14.1.x really does do as claimed.
Truly curious - have you tried it recently?
Perhaps more a reaction to pressure from Tesla; the latest FSD builds show full autonomy is coming very soon. Without highway driving, Waymo would quickly be seen as a distant second in the race when the safety driver is removed from Robotaxis in Austin (supposedly before EOY 2025).
As someone who works on the other side of this... if you're getting through 10 phone screens and not getting an offer, something is wrong with the way you're interviewing.
You've gotten 10 phone screens, so you can probably double your activity and get to 20. If you're actually going for jobs you're qualified for, 20 screens should net you ~3 offers, if not more.
My suggestion: record yourself on your interviews and have friends review the recording and offer critique. You have blind spots you need to address to achieve the outcomes you want.

Given the costs of launching, almost assuredly not.
Having worked with the Ambrook team, I can confidently say they're a wonderful group worth a look if you're interested in climate/sustainability.
I've been consulting with Ambrook (https://ambrook.com/) who are working on this problem. Great team and worth checking out if you're looking at the space.
Consider the following: if your design expertise was as significant as your database expertise, perhaps your view of the downstream implications of decisions in each would be more alike than not.
Flipped around, but potentially the same takeaways:
Turns out building a true FSD car is almost as hard as a humanoid robot. They've already got a Boston Dynamic's-like robot dog internally, but it sucks at getting around a parking lot.
i.e. set your expectations of the arrival of true FSD on the car to whenever you think Tesla can actually deliver this robot.
Couldn't agree more re: patient advocacy. My mom wrote a book -- a bit of a how-to guide -- for being effective in this role after her experience doing as much guiding her mom through terminal care for dementia.
Malcolm Gladwell touches on this beautifully in the most recent season of Revisionist History:

I found this article incredibly helpful in answering these questions: https://overreacted.io/a-complete-guide-to-useeffect/
Extremely impressive.
That said, I am struck by how the inaccuracies in physics modeling start sticking out like a sore thumb the closer the visuals get to realism. After gawking at the ground and falling rocks in the first scene, I kept getting stuck on the weird movement of her ponytail. Also the landing of the first jump across the chasm.
Picking nits for sure; incredible work here.
You know it's real when it hits you in the feels.
Shyp tried to do this ~4 years ago. Very challenging problem.
People for whom forgetfulness is the reason they'd miss a court date are likely solve their problem with a normal calendar reminder.
Literally nobody is probably close to accurate.
For those without full context, this comment is by Hacker Noon's CEO ^^
yeah, great, but what about adjusting for inharmonicity in the overtones? (partially /s)

If you hit the threshold, enabling the flag for you, then you are downvoted below the threshold, do you lose access to the feature as well?
Ah, I was at Clever a day or two after this – what a cool experience! Also thanks to their team for teaching me Bughouse.

For some context:
Quantcast moved off Hadoop in favor of a home-rolled solution (QFS) because of Hadoop wasn't scaling well to our needs (40PB+ data processed/day).
This release of QFS (https://github.com/quantcast/qfs) includes support for S3, among other improvements.
I've been saying this for years.
Yes, he means node.js. (I also work at Shyp)
Not to mention timing. Even if these were /exactly/ the same product as justin.tv, releasing a few years later into a world with slightly shifted cultural values could make the difference.
MS CEO here — happy to answer any questions.
We're making big product changes to dramatically reduce cost to hire, and help candidates engage in what we've been referring to behind the scenes as "always-on job search".
Our thought is that if you have a dedicated channel to always know who wants to talk and why, you're better prepared to understand when a really special opportunity has come along.
Would love your feedback!
"There is no metric by which Whatsapp is worth 19B, except for the fact that Facebook can spend that much money."
More "did" than can. Something is worth what someone will pay. Why was FB willing to pay $19B? The answer is somewhere between what those users are worth to FB and the threat to FB's (very real) business that WhatsApp represented. This doesn't seem bubblish to me.
IMHO, Twitter provides exceptional value... but their ability to monetize that value is still catching up.
