Ngetes Kalau Tesla Autopilot Bakal Nabrak Tembok yang dilukis Gambar Jalan

"Tanpa ngerem sama sekali"

Terjemahan dari: https://futurism.com/tesla-wall-autopilot

Dalam video terbarunya, YouTuber dan mantan teknisi NASA Mark Rober mendemokan kenapa kalau Tesla menggantungkan semata-mata pada data visual dari seperangkat kamera, itu bukan ide yang bagus untuk teknologi perbantuan berkendara.

Pembuat mobil yang dikepalai oleh Elon Musk ini sudah meninggalkan sama sekali LIDAR atau sensor radar, yang mana radar ini justru digunakan oleh banyak pesaingnya untuk mendeteksi objek-objek selama bertahun-tahun, yang mana dikomentari oleh Musk dengan menyebut LIDAR ini "beneran tol*l, mahal, dan gak guna banget."

Tapi semata-mata bergantung pada data visual, Tesla Autopilot ini bisa disesatkan oleh kabut tebal, dan bahkan lukisan gambar jalan di dinding, seperti yang ditunjukkan Rober di video terbarunya.

Buktinya jelas-jelas nyata, menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan Tesla sangat beresiko akan kecelakaan tabrakan. Para pakar sudah lama memperingatkan bahwa pendekatan Tesla dengan bergantung semata-mata pada kamera itu berbahaya, terutam ketika LIDAR dan radar sudah ada sebagai alternatif.

Lebih parahnya lagi, Tesla berencana untuk menggulirkan versi software "Perbantuan Berkendara Penuh" yang tidak perlu "diawasi" nanti di tahun ini juga, kata Musk, yang mana ini akan memberikan rasa aman palsu kepada pelanggan yang selama ini sudah puas dengan layanan mereka.

Pemilik usaha armada servis robotaksi juga siap untuk menggulirkan teknologi ini yang manajuga bisa meningkatkan resiko bahaya ini.

Dalam rangkaian tesnya, Rober membandingkan Tesla dan sebuah kendaraan yang dilengkapi dengan sensor LIDAR, persembahan dari perusahaan bernama Luminar, bagaimana reaksinya terhadap manekin anak kecil di tengah jalan.

Tesla langsung gagal. Walaupun manekin anak kecil ini terdeteksi di software, sistem rem darurat kendaraan ini ogah beraksi pada waktunya. Autopilot Tesla juga gagal berhenti untuk manekin anak kecil ini ketika mesin kabut menyelimuti sekelilingnya. Hujan deras juga mengelabui sistem ini.

Dalam contoh yang paling parah di video, Tesla dikelabui oleh gambar didinding yang dilukis seperti jalan di depannya seperti dalam film kartun Wile E. Coyote, dan ini mengakibatkan kendaraan ini menabrak tembok itu.

Tiga Cara untuk Tahu Iklan Lowongan yang nge-Ghosting

Ini adalah terjemahan dari https://lifehacker.com/work/identify-a-ghost-job-posting

Nyari kerjaan itu adalah proses yang bikin begitu melelahksan sampai-sampai pas kamu nemu posisi yang cocok banget sama keterampilan elo dan kayaknya menarik nih, kamu udah merasa berjaya duluan padahal melamar aja belum. Tapi perasaan kayak gitu biasanya gak bertahan lama, setelah berhari-hari dan bahkan berminggu-minggu, dan kamu bahkan belum dapat panggilan kerja dari perusahaannya- bahkan surat penolakan aja gak dapet.

Mungkin ada temen kamu yang berusaha menghibur. Dia bilang kalau, palingan itu postingan buat orang internal mereka, cuman aja mereka diharuskan untuk posting itu lowongan. Walaupun bisa jadi begitu, bisa juga mungkin kalau ada lowongan gak pernah ada dari awal. Ini dinamakan lowongan "ghosting". Inilah hasil survei baru-baru ini dari Resume Builder yang mendapat bahwa 40% perusahaan memposting lowongan palsu tahun ini sejauh ini. Begini caranya untuk tahu iklan lowongan untuk posisi yang gak benar-benar ada, dan kenapa perusahaan memposting lowongan pekerjaan seperti itu.

Cara untuk bisa tahu postingan lowongan palsu

Supaya gak salah paham, kalau saya bilang iklan lowongan "ghosting", saya gak bermaksud bilang postingan yang melakukan scam yang berusaha ngerjain pelamar untuk menipu uang dan/ atau mencuri data pribadi. (Tapi kalau kamu cari tip-tip untuk bisa tahu soal ini, kamu bisa cari artikel-artikel sebelumnya di Lifehacker.) Melainkan, saya lebih fokus ke postingan lowongan pekerjaan yang gak benar-benar ada yang perusahaannya beneran ada. Begini cara mengidentifikasinya.

1. Perhatikan Detil

Kadang-kadang perusahaan memposting iklan lowongan untuk pekerjaan yang gak beneran ada untuk memfamiliarisasi talen-talen yang ada di pasaran, dan mengidentifikasi kandidat potensial manakala nanti beneran ada posisi untuk diisi di kedepannya. Untuk alasan ini, postingan iklan lowongan biasanya luas banget, baik itu untuk kualifikasi spek yang dicari, dan juga tanggungjawab posisi yang diiklankan. Kalau kamu ragu, hubungi departemen HR perusahaan yang dimaksud dan tanya detil tambahan mengenai posisi yang diiklankan untuk membantu kamu menentukan apakah kamu beneran pas untuk posisi tersebut.

2. Cek tanggalnya

Sebagai aturan umum, lebih baik melamar pekerjaan satu minggu setelah iklan tersebut diposting. Tentu aja, iklan ulang-supaya tanggal postingan jadi baru- butuh usaha buat perusahaan, jadi tanggal terbaru pun gak menjamin kalau suatu posisi itu beneran ada. Walaupun begitu, kalau satu posisi sudah diposting lebih dari satu bulan atau lebih, itu biasanya tanda-tanada gak bagus.

Dari laporan 2023, diperlukan rata-rata 44 hari untuk mengisi satu posisi, jadi kalau kamu nemuin satu postingan sudah diiklankan selama itu atau lebih, kamu mendingan coba hubungi manajer yang mengiklankan atau departemen HR dan tanya apakah lowongannya masih ada. Kemungkinan lainnya adalah, postingannya beneran pekerjaannya ada -dan baik disengaja atau enggak- iklannya gak diturunkan setelah posisinya terisi

3. Cari apakah iklannya ada dobel

Dalam rangka menarik daftar talen yang banyak, beberapa perusahaan membuat dua (atau lebih) iklan lowongan yang sedikit berbeda untuk satu posisi, seperti kata Mandi Woodruff-Santos, seorang coach karir dan mantan manager pengiklan lowongan kepada CNBC di awal tahun ini. Untuk menghindari buang-buang waktu melamar keduanya -dan untuk mendapatkan ekspektasi realistis dari oportuniti dari perusahaan- periksa spesifikasi lowongan dan cari kemungkinan adanya duplikasi.

Kenapa perusahaan posting lowongan palsu

Jadi, kenapa juga perusahaan main-main sama pencari kerja ya? Salah satu alasannya, ternyata, adalah untuk mendorong spirit karyawan-karyawan mereka yang ada sekarang dengan mengecoh mereka kalau akan ada orang baru yang akan direkrut untuk tim mereka untuk membantu meringankan beban pekerjaan. Sejalan dengan itu, menurut 649 manajer pengiklan lowongan yang berpartisipasi dalam survei Resume Builder terbaru, memposting iklan lowongan palsu juga membantu meyakinkan karyawan yang ada bahwa mereka itu bisa tergantikan dan sebaiknya bersyukur sudah punya pekerjaan. Di sisi lain, lowongan tersebut juga untuk disimpan resumenya untuk potensi lowongan ke depannya. Pada akhirnya, lowongan itu bisa jadi untuk semata-mata tampilan aja: Dengan kata lain, perusahaan ingin tampak seperti sedang berkembang pesat, dan ada aja yang beranggapan bahwa memposting iklan lowongan palsu adalah cara yang terbaik untuk mencapai tujuan itu.

Microsoft memberikan konfirmasi isu Windows Server di balik crash domain controller

Diterjemahkan dari BleepingComputer.com

Microsoft mengkonfirmasikan bahwa memory leak yang termasuk dalam security updates Windows Server di Maret 2024 ada di belakang isu yang menyebabkan Windows domain controler menjadi crash.

Seperti yang dilaporkan BleepingComputer pertama kali Rabu lalu dan seperti yang sudah diperingatkan sys admin minggu lalu, server-server yang terganggu mengalami freeze dan restart tak terduga akibat dari memory leak proses Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) yang termasuk dalam update kumulatif bulan ini.

"Sejak install update Maret (Exchange dan juga reguler update Windows Server) banyak dari Domain Controller kita terjadi peningkatan penggunaan memori (sampai akhirnya mereka mati)," kata salah satu admin.

"Gejala kita itu adanya peningkatan penggunaan memori di proses lsass.exe setelah instal KB5035855 (Server 2016) dan KB5035857 (Server 2022)sampai semua memori fisik dan juga virtual habis dan mesin jadi hang," kata admin Windows lainnya ke BleepingComputer.

Setelah BleepingComputer menghubungi Microsoft mengenai bug ini kemarin, mereka sekarang telah memastikan bahwa ini adalah isu yang sudah diketahui dan berdampak ke semua server domain controller dengan update terakhir di Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, dan 2022.

Ini hanya terdampak ke sistem enterprise menggunakan platform Windows Server; pengguna rumahan tidak terpengaruh.

"Setelah instalasi security update Maret 2024, yang dirilis 12 Maret 2024 (KB5035857), Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) bisa mengalami kebocoran memori di domain controller (DCs)," kata Microsoft.

"Ini dapat dilihat ketika Active Directory Domain Controller di lokal dan juga berbasis cloud melayani request otentikasi Kerberos. Bocornya memori yang ekstrem mengakibatkan LSASS menjadi crash, yang memicu reboot tak terjadwal pada domain controller (DCs)."

Microsoft telah mengidentifikasi sebab utama dan sedang melakukan perbaikan, dan akan dirilis segera.

Three Movies in which there’s Intentional Resurrection

First, definition. Resurrection: The act of restoring a dead person, for example, to life. Now, I’m not talking about zombie movies. I’m talking about scene in movies where the characters intentionally wanted to be dead, but planned to be resurrected later on.

There’s a term in Indonesian, mati suri, which refers to a condition where a person has been medically declared dead, but later on is back to life. But, this is not intentional. It’s not the same as apparent death where an animal, or person, plays dead. It’s medically dead, but later on back to life.

These movie scenes I’m referring to are scenes where the characters intentionally want to be dead in order to safe life of their own. Here are the scenes, in no particular order.

1. The Abyss

Classic movie released in 1989. The scene is where Bud and Dr. Lindsey are trapped deep under water. There is only one dive gear, and they have to move to another place under water. Dr. Lindsey takes the risk of losing air to breathe during the trip from the place where they are to the safe place. She says that there are, like, grace period from the time when a person dies and the time they can be resurrected. So, Bud, with his dive gear, carries Dr. Lindsey dead body into the safe place. And, in this safe place, along with all the crew, he resurrects Dr. Lindsey. She’s alive and safe.

2. Mission: Impossible III

The scene is where Davian puts bomb inside Ethan Hunt’s head. Ethan has the idea where he is temporarily put to death so that the bomb won’t explode at the time when the countdown stops. Later on, past the countdown due, his wife, Julia resurrects him. And, of course, he is alive and safe.

3. Countdown

What to do when you know the exact time of your death, down to the second? You must cheat death, of course. So, Quinn, knowing that her sister is going to die soon, cheats death by killing herself. As expected, because she messes up death’s list of person to die, death disappears. But, Quinn leaves a dying message to her sister, to inject her with something to resurrect her. And, of course, she is alive and safe.

I’m not quite really sure how it is in real life. After all, movies are entertainment. I wish there are people with medical qualifications and debunk, if resurrecting dead people are not feasible.

Oh, almost forgot, there’s another movie comes up to mind during my writing this: Flatliners. This doesn’t match up with my first intention of writing this: scenes where characters intentionally want to be dead in order to safe life. Flatliners is a movie about medical students who want to be dead just for experiment. It’s still quite decent horror movie, though.

What do you think? Do you think people can be resurrected? Do you know any other movie with this kind of scene?

[Success] Migration of WhatsApp Android to WhatsApp iPhone

In retrospect: You Thought Switching to iPhone was Easy? –> First Obstacle.

Two weeks ago, I found out that the obstacle of moving WhatsApp chat history from Android to iPhone. I knew that there were only paid apps to accomplish this. So, I took it as a challenge to find free ways. I wouldn't mind taking manual ways.

I tried reaching out WhatsApp. But, they just ignore me. [Sarcasm] What nice service [/Sarcasm]. I have been searching for any way to migrate the data to no avail.

Fast forward, two weeks passed by. I gave up. I searched local marketplace for any merchant that provided service for moving WhatsApp from Android to iPhone. Finally, I found one. So, I paid the service, which is less than what the International paid apps. I call this the perks of living in a poor third world country.

I am not sure how they do it. So, basically, I paid the service, and they provide me with guidelines on how to do it.

And, voila! My WhatsApp history, which was previously on Android, is now on iPhone. So, all is good now.

Switching from Nokia 6 to iPhone SE: a Week After

In retrospect: I was very much interested in iPhone SE 2020, because Apple put the processor of high-end phone into it. This is something that none of the existing phone manufacturers has done. I have analysed and thought through what I would miss if I moved from Nokia 6 to iPhone SE.

Read:Should I Switch from Nokia 6 to iPhone SE 2020? and Should I Switch to iPhone SE 2020? (Part 2)

A week pased by. Time to review.

First off, I'd like to say I am impressed with the battery management of iPhone SE. When commuting, I use Waze to help me navigate from home to work, vice versa. For approx. 45 minute drive, when using Nokia 6, the battery consumption was usually at 15%. It means, when going to work, starting off at 100% phone battery, I would arrive at work at 85%. That's why I usually use Waze in vehicle with the phone being charged.

As for iPhone SE, with the same condition, it only consumes 5%! It's crazy! And all with the consideration that Nokia has 3,000mAh battery while iPhone SE 2020 merely runs on 1,821mAh. It's beyond my expectation, really.

On day 1, I brought along my charger, in case my iPhone SE worn out of juice during the day. As a matter of fact, despite using it in the morning for Waze, iPhone SE can last throughout the day until I get back home with only 20%-30%. Of course, with the consideration that I only use the phone for casual browsing. The same scneario with Nokia 6.

My worries when switching from Nokia 6 to iPhone SE have been relieved. Well, most of them.

File transfer? Okay, it's a pain in the neck. But, I don't really transfer files that much, anyway. Even when I need to, I can just email it. Not sleek. But it gets the job done.

The sleekness of Nokia 6 waking up the screen with home button? Well, iPhone SE cannot match it. So, instead, I use the "raise to wake", then press the home button. It's not that annoying, but I can live with that.

Missing audio port? Missing FM analog? These are the things that I miss from Nokia 6. So, to compromise, I bought a bluetooth audio receiver that has FM radio receiver.

Dual SIM card? It's okay. I never used it anyway.

The build of the iPhone SE is also nothing compared to any phone I've ever had. You know if you have greasy hand, and you hold your phone, and there's fingerprint marks, or you transfer the grease on the surface of the phone? iPhone SE is not like it. It's like it's always clean all the time. But, be careful, though. Sometimes, it feels slippery. May be that's why it doesn't have fingerprint: because it's slippery.

So, I didn't buy iPhone SE because it's cheap. In fact, I can acquire another Android phone with more beast specification, more power with the same price. No. I bought iPhone SE because of the processor.

The experience I went through the past week, has proven that the performance iPhone can outperform Android phone with more RAM, more processor, more battery. It shouldn't be a wonder, because Apple control the hardware, and the OS using it. Unlike Android which is meant to be used with huge arrays of hardware.

To conclude, although there were things to sacrifice when switching from Nokia 6 to iPhone SE, I don't regret my decision

I Think I See My Music Career in GarageBand (jk)

I paid a music creator app on Android, Fruity Loops (FL) Studio Mobile. It's quite decent app, actually.

But, having switched to iPhone, there's this GarageBand. I must say that this is better than FL Studio Mobile. What's more crazy is that it comes preinstalled.

You may have heard songs that I've written and published at https://reverbnation.com/drakey It you haven't, go on check it out. My songs are both in English and Indonesian. So, I'm seeing this app as a tool in my music career.

[majolelo]

You Thought Switching to iPhone was Easy? --> First Obstacle

So, I finally switched to iPhone SE. Knew what I'll miss from Android. I've anticipated. Knew and let go list of phone calls history, SMS, e-mails.

Then there's WhatsApp. Before switching, I've managed to backup chats to Google Drive. As it turned out, WhatsApp on iPhone only supports restoring from iCloud. Alas!

My research showed that there are ways to restore from Google Drive to iCloud. But, they all using paid app.

First challenge: how to restore WhatsApp chats in Google Drive to iCloud with no paid app?

[majolelo]

This is it. Time to say good by, Nokia 6. You've done a great job. I have been satisfied. It's been good years.

Should I Switch to iPhone SE 2020? (Part 2)

Refer to my last post: Should I Switch from Nokia 6 to iPhone SE 2020. Note that I use the term "switch" not "upgrade". Upgrade means there are something MORE to be expected from.

The only thing I am expecting from iPhone SE 2020 is fluid operation, since Apple is known to optimise their OS with the hardware they are marketing. This is a plus. While, Android, on the other hand, is meant for general device. It means, you can have 3GB RAM Android, not outperforming 1GB RAM iPhone. For other features? Android still tops iPhone. This is my research on Android features that I might be missing before deciding swithing to iPhone SE 2020.

Waking up screen. Sure, you can wake up screen by pressing power button. But, it has been my practice to not waking up screen using physical button. There are ways to wake up screen: using gesture -like waving on the phone, Samsung Galaxy can do this-, using double tap to wake -iPhone flagship can do this-, or just by opening the flip case -my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge can do this. What about iPhone SE 2020? My research shows that there is "Raise to Wake" and iPhone SE 2020 supports this. I suppose I can live with that, as long as I don't have to use power button to wake the screen. One thing to anticipate is that accidentally waking up the screen when I only move the phone, not intending to use it.

Turning off/ locking the screen. When not using, I like to turn off the display and lock the screen immediately. In my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, I can easily turn off the screen just by closing the flip case. It's that easy. As for Nokia 6, I use an app that utilise proximity sensors. It means, if I cover the sensor, the phone can immediately turn off, not necessarily locking the screen. My search yielded nothing on this. It's quite disappointing, frankly.

Bluetooth file transfer. It seems that we cannot send a file from an Android phone to iPhone via bluetooth. The transfer died just like that when you try to transfer a file. This is a let-down. But of course, since I have a MiFi that supports SD card, I can use it to transfer file. Not practical. But still able.

[majolelo]

Should I Switch from Nokia 6 to iPhone SE 2020?

My profile: an Android user. Own S7 Edge and Nokia 6. Intention: to acquire an iPhone SE 2020.

So, here's the deal. I am interested in owning an iPhone SE 2020, merely because it has a processor, Apple A13 Bionic, which is also employed in iPhone flagship, iPhone 11. Hence, I am expecting best performance. I am aware the battery capacity is very small, only 1821 mAh. However, I have viewed a YouTuber doing casual activities on the device and it lasted 7 hours. Which is quite acceptable for such small battery. Putting high-end processor in a low-end phone is not common, and no Android phone manufacturer has done this. So, basically, I am not switching to Apple, I am merely tempted because of the high-end processor. Note that I still like Android. So, it's not about OS preferrence.

I am not going to use it for heavy activities, such as keep on watching YouTube for hours. Or gaming for hours. Just casual activities like browsing the Internet, WhatsApp, and things alike.

I intend to keep my S7 Edge, and would like to switch my Nokia 6 to iPhone SE 2020. I am still at the point of considering, no decision made. This writing is made to assist me in deciding what to do next.

Here are the things that I like from Nokia 6, and Android in general, that I am aware I am about to lose if I switch to iPhone SE 2020.

File transfer to laptopHome button. Specifically to Nokia 6, the home button is very convenient. When the scren is off, you can easily put your finger on the sensor, and, when validated, the screen is on. You don't need to press the power button, then press the home button. Nokia makes it convenient that pressing home button and the screen wakes up. This is another convenient that will be taken away should I move to iPhone

Audio port 3.5mm and FM radio. The missing port 3.5mm means I will need bleutooth headset. I will not buy the ugly expensive Air Pod. I am guessing iPhone SE will support third party bluetooth headset. I am still okay with this. However, in Nokia 6 I use audio port 3.5 to listen to the radio. Not the Internet radio, but the analog FM radio. You know, the one that doesn't use data. However, I can still manage to use another external FM radio. This is another thing I need to compromise.

Dual SIM card. Most phones on the market in Indonesia are dual SIM. So, this is another letdown for iPhone SE 2020. Although, anyway, I use only 1 SIM card in my Nokia 6, and no plan in adding another phone number in the future. But still, it is a letdown, although not a major one.

There are other things to point out about advantage of using Android over iPhone. But, the four mentioned above, are the major things for me to consider switching to iPhone SE. I'll let you know how it turns out. Perhaps, you can help me make the decision?

Sembuh, atau Pulih?

"Recovered" dan "cured" umumnya diartikan sama dalam bahasa Indonesia: sembuh. Menurut gue, harusnya ada perbedaan. Dan, di masa wabah Covid 19 ini, menurut gue, perbedaan ini menjadi signifikan. "Recovered", harusnya diartikan sebagai "pulih". Sementara, "cured", harusnya diartikan sebagai "sembuh". Mengacu kepada KBBI, "sembuh" dan "pulih" digunakan secara interchangeably, atau bisa dikatakan sama penggunaannya. Gue menawarkan visi untuk menghindari kerancuan pada masa wabah Covid 19 ini. Frase "sembuh dari Covid 19" menyiratkan bahwa obatnya sudah ada. Padahal belum. Dari informasi yang saya dapat, orang-orang yang terinfeksi Covid 19, dirawat dengan meningkatkan antibodi supaya virus Corona dalam tubuhnya dapat diperangi. Jadi, sebelum vaksin dan/ atau obat virus Corona belum ada, istilah yang tepat untuk digunakan harusnya bukan "sembuh" (cured) melainkan "pulih" (recovered).

D DAY: Finally Left

Finally, I've left the job. Probably the quickest notice of end of contract I've ever made. Last Wednesday, I got the offer from the workplace of a friend. I took the opportunity. So, all that's left to do was to discuss with boss about my last day at the office. After the discussion, he suggested to conclude my contract which is today. So, that's it. I've left the job :)

[majolelo]

16 Working Days Left: Getting Hotter

So, I have been taking over some of tasks that need to be sped up. I took it as a test by my future boss in that different department. So, I've been trying to get the job done in a timely manner. So far, no news from that workplace of a friend. I prefer to work in another place, actually. Still hoping for the best to come.

[majolelo]

17 Working Days Left: Scratch That?

So, there hasn't been letter of appointment yet? But, boss already informed that my contract had been extended to another 6 months. Until I see the letter, I suppose the clock is still ticking..

[majolelo]

18 Working Days Left: May not be My Last Tenure After All

Asked boss today about that internal interview. It seemed that my contract has been extended to another 6 months. So, this won't be my last tenure after all. Though, I trust my boss, but I have yet seen the contract. So, I'm still open for another opportunities.

[majolelo]

19 Working Days Left: Accepted or What?

The past 2 days I've been told to take over someone else's tasks from that Department I've been interviewed before. So, it means I've been accepted or what? Can I see letter of appointment please? 😅😅😅
