In an ICE car fuel and ignition sources are generally separate there's little to be gained by being unsafe with fuel.

In an EV your fuel and ignition sources are fundamentally inseparable and you can gain a lot (range/capacity, charge time/peak power) by being unsafe with it (running the battery to the ragged edge of what it can tolerate).

The fact that in response they quickly rolled out an update that neutered a large amount of capacity is far more interesting than the fires themselves and probably what the NHTSA wants to look into.
They immigrated because they could see that another war was brewing in Europe. So basically the US can thank the Nazis for that. They all had Jewish heritage (which is a very interesting fact in itself!) so it was sort of personal to them as well.

You'd think that it would mark it as "to be downloaded later" and then when you were back home either sync it from iTunes or prompt you to download over WiFi.

Space telescopes don't do super-resolution of the type used for video, but they do something a little similar. They use a technique called aperture synthesis which combines signals from a collection of instruments so that they have the same angular resolution as a much larger virtual instrument.

they don’t care. i’d love for someone to defend the idea that for all these years, microsoft has really wanted us to have first class touchpad experiences on their laptops, but they just couldn’t figure it out. A problem too hard, a bridge too far, an unattainable moonshot for however many hundreds of thousands of software engineers microsoft has employed over the years. so, once again, the reason it’s only that good on mac is because no one cares in the windows world, from microsoft to their developers and ultimately their customers who don’t value that feature. edit: i spend most of my life in linux but I have a mbp for photoshop and capture one. on many topics I hate my mac with a cold fury but credit where it’s due.
Also depending on loading. Printed parts can be relatively strong under compression but tend to be weak under tension relative to their printed axis. Shear is a mixed bag, it does depend on layer adhesion at that point.

I appreciate Haskell's power in this domain, and apparently sum types are life-changing (they get mentioned in so many language conversations).

That said, I'm mostly concerned with types like columns, rows, tables, colors, urls, documents, or images. These are implementable in lots of languages, but many languages just have a lot of ad-hoc implementations of them, of the same concept but with slightly different tilts on it. I'm saying that it would be interesting if a language focused on that part of the ecosystem, so that things could connect together.

Haskell might have a very nice type system, but it does not seem like it has many universally-accepted standard types for everything to use. For example, as soon as it gets up to the complexity of a "text" type, there are lots of slightly-different flavors of text.
I'd like to see this documented history.

You mentioned electronics, but have they raised prices?
I've seen these before but I've always stayed away because the costs for commercial licensing aren't spelled out or even estimated at all. I just never liked to anticipate the friction involved if I were to incorporate these into a project that would become a commercial endeavor.
I've seen people have offers retracted when something they've lied about is discovered, including lying about current salary, sadly.

IMO if someone's having issues getting past autofilters, they're doing it wrong. Personal network, reputation, etc doesn't need to pass through filters

At the risk of being down voted, let me say that this is yet another AWS "feature" that is primarily a workaround for deficiencies in the platform.
This is why one of the most valuable uses of time for mathematicians and especially software engineers is to study the historical development of techniques and technologies. Understanding how matrices are a product of the quest for finding solutions to systems of linear equations gives you a much better idea for when and how to apply matrix techniques. Most math textbooks limit themselves to "The determinant is defined by ad-bc" which on its own is an almost completely useless fact to know outside of taking an exam.

Software engineering is much worse in terms of useless complications developed by people who don't know previous solutions (angular.js? Great! Have you ever heard of dataflow programming? Constraint satisfaction? Dynamic binding? No? No wonder angular is such a piece of shit).
Your logic makes sense.

Two things.

1. In my experience, stories about rain being associated with getting sick, tend to be more related to being cold and wet. We could go on for hours about "folk science" about how cold weather causes sickness. Cold weather is rightly correlated with flu season, reduced levels of vitamin D, and diminished physical activity, all of which probably have strong links to sickness.

2. Your choice of baseline comparison is probably key here. Is going out in the rain "safer" than staying indoors? Staying indoors in a poorly ventilated office building?

From what I can tell, general wisdom today seems to be: unless your immune system is compromised, or you have strong allergic reactions (such as hay-fever), or you live in polluted area, or it is a high ozone day, it is a good to get some exposure to outside air, including the natural germs floating around in it. (Gosh, when I started writing that sentence, I didn't realize how many caveats I would need!)
Yeah, we hooked up PIP for broadcasters but not viewers - given it's not obvious when you're switching between rooms whether you want to switch video or not. Instead, you have pop-out button to let you view the video widget separately if you want, which sounds like what you were using. The UI could be clearer.
I don't really see it that way. From my perspective it isn't toxicity as the driver, but a strong sense of user preservation. Many people I know in security value the customers more than they value the company itself. They're the antithesis of political - their inability to understand higher order company-level or product-level issues often hamstrings them because their goals aren't aligned with the company goals. Though I have a limited view - I'm sure there are many companies that are operating as you've said.

The teams I really strongly respect, for example at Square/Microsoft, manage to align user interest and company interest very well - that's a very hard thing to do and requires top to bottom investment. Microsoft's approach has been to monetize security, which makes that easier.

Both organizations also have resisted the mistake that you and I both agree most orgs make - they've invested heavily into hiring engineers to solve security problems, and you generally have to pass a coding interview even for security roles.

edit: Reflecting more, I suspect that the described behavior of hyper-political teams that have a self-preserving structure is probably something prevalent, but that I haven't had the misfortune of being involved in. I would imagine companies like that are generally toxic across orgs, and not just in IT, but probably any area where investment is forced and it isn't revenue-generating.
Almost like the US is some sort of federation of states.
I did not mean to imply that RISC-V implementations are patent/royalty/license free, only that the spec is. Not having to define a spec of your own is a significant time and money savings.
For fusion that seems to be misleading. It is "always" that long away because of massive cuts in funding ensuring that it stays that way.

I hadn’t read about the McCarthy call. That certainly makes his state of mind seem worse, and now I agree with you that it’s impeachable vis-a-vis being a dereliction of duty. But maybe I’m caught up in the legal definition of “incitement” but I don’t think either the speech or failure to stop the rioting doesn’t qualify as incitement.
Um, Xamarin?
That's linear in the sense of "linear operator" or "linear map". I've never heard "nonlinear" as the opposite of that due to to a constant offset. "Linear map" and "linear operator" are used in contexts where homogeneity is a given.

A scaling plus displacement is linear in the sense of "linear equation" because, for instance, if you scale a signal and add DC offset, there is no distortion; no new harmonics are present in the output signal.

ax + by + c is called linear because the plot of points which satisfy the equation form a straight line; there is nothing confusing about it whatsoever.

Temperature delta conversions between C and F are certainly a linear map/operator. If it gets 5°C hotter, and then 3°C hotter, making 8°C hotter, that's exactly like 9°F hotter plus 5.4°F hotter making 14.4°F hotter.

Here is a test for linearity for a real-valued one-argument function which is not confused by an offset:

x + y f(x) + f(y)
f( ------ ) = -----------
2 2

Works just fine for °C/°F.

There is another criterion for a linear map that hasn't been mentioned, though: f(ax) = af(x).
Eh you may want to read up about the NSA history of backdoors.
Agreed. The issue isn't that people don't blindly trust advertisers and VC-backed companies enough. The issue is that those entities are not trustworthy.

People who are choosing not to share data with those companies in their current form are making a smart choice.
And it proves what exactly? Except that they have lost out on a good hire only because that hire is not familiar with that particular programming language that the interview is.
Right, so don't do important things on the internet. Good advice in general.
A warning from a Python developer & hiring manager: The Python used in Elements of Programming Interviews in Python is NOT clean or idiomatic. Perhaps they designed it for whiteboard-style interviews, but if you walk into a Python shop that does stuff with coderpad/screen-shared you code like in the book you're not going to make the best impression.
I passed a Facebook Infra interview three times: 2007, but I declined the offer (whoops); 2009, accepted, worked there for 4 years as an IC5; 2016, returned for 6 months (whoops).

The 2016 interview was much harder due to the influx of leetcode-style questions. I don’t think I’d pass one in 2020.
Does it not depend a lot on what plugins and the size of the files? I'm sitting here in a small Python repo and I am at 260MB with no files open.
>>All they have to do is storm enough homes discourage people by making it clear the risk is real, and everyone internalizes the rules.

I suspect the scale of enforcement needed to discourage widespread usage would be very large, and incur political and economic costs that are prohibitive. That's corroborated by the fact that the USD circulates widely in countries suffering high inflation, despite it being in the best interest of the elite of these countries for people to only use the national currency.

>>If cryptocurrency is contraband, it's the worse kind of contraband because it advertises that you use it to the authorities through easily monitored channels (since you have to connect to identifiable internet services to use it).

The M1 boot process is very different from Intel macs. In fact, they do not support external boot disks at all, by design. This is because the built-in firmware is extremely minimal, and does not contain drivers for anything but the internal SSD. It doesn't even have a keyboard driver, or any kind of GUI other than showing the Apple logo and "Entering startup options" text, and some error screens. All of this is by design, for security - UEFI is an enormous hairball of code, especially on Intel macs, and almost impossible to secure properly for that reason.

When you boot into the "Startup Options" menu, you are booting into a special macOS partition in the internal SSD. M1 Macs use macOS as the moral equivalent of the UEFI setup menu. That boot picker that looks like the UEFI boot picker on Intel Macs? Yeah, that's a full-screen app on macOS made to look similar.

So how does external boot work?

The "blessing" process done by the Startup Options screen involves copying the entire macOS Preboot partition - iBoot2 OS loader, Darwin kernel, auxiliary CPU/device firmwares, device tree, and some additional stuff - to the internal SSD. It then creates a local, signed boot policy that allows system firmware to boot this macOS install.

You aren't booting from an external disk. You are booting from the internal SSD, with the root filesystem on the external disk.

Additionally, the integration of the macOS user credentials with the SEP means that you can't "just" take an install made on another machine and use it on a separate one. It involves importing user credentials into the local machine. This process isn't implemented properly yet.

As you might expect, this entire mechanism introduces a ton of corner cases around updates, boot selection, etc., and it is still very buggy and broken. The M1 launch was, when you look at details such as this, very obviously rushed.

Further reading for those interested:

https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M1-vs.-PC-Boot
https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW:Boot
https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3AStorage

I'm actually eagerly waiting for Apple to fix this in future system firmware releases, because my plan for installing Asahi Linux for end users with a minimal amount of fuss is to abuse the mechanism to adopt foreign macOS installations. This elides the current need to have a completely wasted, 60+GB macOS install as a dummy to actually launch Linux (we could clean it up and resize it to get the space back, but it still makes for a very annoying install process that I'm hoping to avoid).

On the plus side, this dual-booting mechanism is very cleverly designed to separately secure different OSes, so you do not need to downgrade security on your machine to install an unsigned OS like Linux. It is a separate OS with a separate security policy. You can keep your macOS install fully secure, and capable of running iOS apps and other actions that require secureboot, and install Linux (or another macOS with a custom kernel, kexts, etc) in parallel, completely unintrusively. So kudos to Apple for designing this whole thing, and for opening it up for us to use :)

After reading this blog post, I had a question: why doesn't it take less than millisecond in Rust code?
And the answer is that the author allocates a string for each character, and does more allocation by calling to_uppercase/to_lowercase.
There's a hundredfold improvement in speed by using char or u8 to iterate over a string.

I switched back to Google after using DuckDuckGo for a few months. The reason I switched back was because DDG was slow! I found myself waiting for DDG when I was running all of my silly currency conversion search queries, and didn't have the same problem with Google. (I'm located in Europe.)

[append]

To address some of the comments below, the slowness I'm talking about is probably P80-ish. Most queries run fine, but I was noticing throughout the day that some queries would randomly take multiple seconds to resolve. I never timed them, because just re-running the queries would work around the issue, so I suspect it's some backend thing on DDG's side. Google does have similar issues for me, but it feels more like P99-level.
I wish I could down-vote this incredibly rude and presumptuous post.

Of course the compositor is using the GPU. The difference is entirely in how the capabilities of the GPU are exposed (or not) to the application. My thesis is that doing 2D rendering in a compute kernel is ideal for 2D workloads, because it lets the application express its scene graph in the most natural way, then computes it efficiently (in particular, avoiding global GPU memory traffic for intermediate textures) using the GPU's compute resources.

Of course you could in theory have a compositor API that lets you do region-tracking for flat color areas, and this would save some power, but no system I know works that way.

They already have a counter move, to an extent. One of the deployment models for GA is via Google Tag Manager. One of the deployment models for GTM is this[1] server-side mode deployed to an App Engine container in Google Cloud. The only browser-visible communication happens between your browser and the App Engine instance, and then you send server side calls from that to the downstream systems based on those events (GA, Facebook Conversion API, etc).

It can also be used like the traditional GTM model, where it loads the primary GTM script browser-side, then that loads additional browser-side scripts based on the tags you implement (GA, Facebook, chat systems, map widgets, whatever). But the default GA support built into it avoids loading anything from Google's domains directly by the browser. And it's not even subject to the CNAME cloaking protections[2] that ITP have implemented, since it's not using the "CNAME to third party" technique that's typically common for these sorts of things to get first party access/privileges and is instead actually running on your infrastructure.

You do? Seems to me that there are some areas that this very much doesn't apply too. For example: market processes are preferred over functioning healthcare system. The right to bear arms is preferred over limiting mass shootings.

Well yes and no.

I don't believe it's possible to talk about one moral being more correct than another. (i.e. there is in my opinion no rational argument for a correct moral as everything is context dependent)

For instance if just some of the things that the transhumanists believe come true (such as close to eternal life) then obviously it's going to change the context of morals.

But I do believe some morals in a certain context are better than others. That doesn't mean I believe they are more correct simply that I accept them as a better model for co-existence than others.
