it seems the article boils down to the autonomy puzzle in Tesla. Could Tesla make the autonomy a realization with their approach? would waymo approach be better in the future?
One thing I think that is missing, although it mentioned people love their Tesla and so is other thing in life. It is the fact that I felt that this is derived from the way Tesla designed the car, it is intuitive just like when the first Iphone introduced. There is no whistle and bells like the traditional car. Just like iphone compare to Nokia.
My big take away is harder for the car company to become a software company than a software company become a car company. Not to mentioned as a car company, it has lots of 'legacy' or baggage that they have to deal with.
The works is two times harder I think for an incumbent to become a software company as a compare software company to become a hardware company.
First: As an incumbent they have to unlearned the old way of doing or thinking about what a car company is.
Second: If they are successful at the first one, then they have to learn how to do the software.
While for Tesla, is only 1 step which is to learn how to make car (about the hardware). Tesla does not need to unlearn about things because it has no legacy.
In my experience it is harder to unlearn about things rather than learning about things. I might be wrong :)
if you go under 'privacy checkup' you could easily turn off any data tracking that you don't want to share with google.
This website I think is kind of misleading we are not 'surrendering' our data as the website suggest, we are still in control of our own data, and we could control of how much data we want to share or don't want to share with google. And all those sharing also has benefits to increase the user experience. On top of that there is always a paid version like youtube where you don't get to see any ads.
Google just release tensorflow support javascript and swift.
I don't understand why would somebody go with swift for this, if javascript is the language for the web.
with javascript you could not just make a web app but also potentially like almost native app using frameworks. so, where is the use case for swift? probably running on IOT devices? or is swift is faster than javascript?
Javascript should just upgraded its syntax to be more swift syntax in the near future, that would be a game changer.
this is kind of scary and sad when powerful technology is being misused ...probably it is better to live in China ??? ..the government openly monitoring its citizen instead of spying on them
with self driving car, ai and robot house automation fabrication + virtual reality ... will drive the cost of home ownership very affordable ... with virtual reality just like the real world ..people does not have to travel that far
