Automotive actually uses ML in plain c with some inline assembly sprinkled on top run run models in embedded devices. It’s definitely out there and in productive use.
Ours isn’t much better. Each commit message has a mandatory ticket number you have to enter. So for details you need to jump to the ticket. The tickets often don’t have meaningful information in them apart from ‚for…
It might not help you today with your immediate problem but think about it this way: You become the boss or responsible for some product. If you decide at the beginning to start off using Rust or rewrite some ancient,…
Microcontroller switch from 40nm to 28nm devices. Adding support to re-flash our control unit „over the air“.
Solve a leetcode easy and leetcode medium problem in the morning before starting my dayjob. I wanted to prepare for the next interviews sometime mid last year but lost the motivation. It is very easy to skip the…
1.) Force other competitors to go belly-up or buy them to create a Monopoy or if the authorities don‘t let you do that, try to end up in a duopoly situation where you and your competitor come to some silent agreement to…
It’s called Mercedes Benz. S class. They go the boring path. Work together with regulators. Prove to them that whatever they are doing is actually save to use. Don’t oversell to their customers. They go the way of…
Germany absolutely LOVES their .de TLD. .de has more weight than .net or .com for most people in Germany.
No, we have come full circle with added layers of complexity.
Democratic governments with freedom of expression and free speech is not compatible with the Chinese governance system
To add to this point, there are also less developers available who are willing and passionate about developing the next balcony, band aid and workaround for the half dead horse. That’s a career dead-end. Each and every…
I can only guess: Probably some vehicle control unit (multimedia/dashboard) thought it had to stay powered on. Door is not fully closed - driver might want to enter the vehicle again any minute and start driving again.…
Why would it collapse? Nobody is able to afford to buy/live in your property anymore. If you don‘t find buyers/renters how will you manage to pay off your investment credit you took out at 95%credit rate while only…
2. C.A.R. Hoare - "The most important property of a program is whether it accomplishes the intention of its user." This is something I am guilty of too often. I get lost in fixing the minute details and edge cases that…
What can I tell you, We develop hardware and software using IFX microcontrollers, (HW still has bugs) compiling our code using GreenHills / GCC / HighTech compilers (they all still have bugs), debugging and testing…
Use the IDE for adding an index to your codebase for better navigation & editing and cross file refactoring. Use whatever headless buildscripts you fancy (make?!) to build your project. Problem solved.
Different take on my sibling commenter: When VC has the choice to invest in two startups. Both on par, the one is already profitable, the other burning money, which company to invest in seems clear…
Is there an entity behind the code / package / library that you are using that you can hold Liable in case of ill-behaviour. Don‘t use gcc for mission critical stuff. Use a compiler that is backed by people who are…
Or how about this. Don‘t use code that some stranger puts on the internet for critical stuff. critical stuff has to be defined per application. For controlling aircraft engines or car engines I for sure as hell do not…
Current day job company is big enough to have it’s own “software factory” abroad. It’s horrible. Some good guys but mostly Indian freshers that get burned in 1-2 years. Time zone difference sucks. Zero understanding of…
Sadly the vast majority of developers might know that there is a tool called debugger and might also know how to set a breakpoint. But that’s where it stops. No drive to see what your debugger offers you. callstack?…
Sometimes the Root cause for problems is buried one or two abstraction layers deeper than the "responsible team" is comfortable to work at. This is where the "lower level" expert comes into play. At my place the…
Having high false positive results with only single or dual sensors only shows how ‚bad‘ we still are with controlled secure automated driving.
Would you rather optimize for a faster overall fleet, or a fleet with stress free driving, no incidents, no need to intervene or be to be worried. If the system gets faster over time, even better. But I cannot imagine…
In my opinion the underlying assumption autopilots are built with are wrong. It is assumed that the road is free to drive on. Only when the vehicle computer detects a known object on the road that it knows should not be…
