Taking the 2012 numbers you have at your link, the 85KW pack and 600kg, that is 6200 lb to get to 400kwh. The 2015 number on wikipedia is 540kg per 85kwh pack and the model 3 pack is supposed to be 30% more energy dense[0]. The 2015 number gives 5600lbs so I don't think at least 6000lbs is accurate, even the 2012 number is just slightly over.

All else equal you can charge batteries based on a % of their total capacity. Current superchargers can do about 2%/min for a model S in the 0-80% charge range but can't deliver the requisite power for a 400kwh pack. But I also haven't seen very many supercharger stations that would be particularly well suited for truck traffic either, so I'd imagine there will be a new charger/stations as well.

Sure batteries are no where near competing on absolute range of diesel but I don't think they have to. The question is can you get a days driving in without spending hours and hours charging while keeping the battery capital cost/weight reasonable.

You don't need a 1200kwh pack for that because you can take a couple short breaks plus a lunch with supercharging and over double your effective capacity.

We'll see what happens but I'd be very surprised if the announcement doesn't include a new super charger and stations unless they design it for short range point to point only.

Additional, the CoreCLR and its more modern Assembly packaging (System.Runtime vs mscorlib) made the code difficult to share (recompile or PCL). This is solved now by the .NET Standard.

> Perhaps, but we do know a lot more about how (deep) NNs work than we did 40 years ago.

That really depends on what you mean by "a lot more". I have no qualms about the ongoing research and steady progress in machine learning. My problem is with claims (hinted in the article, as in many other places) that this progress has anything to do with the progress towards AI. AI has been projected to be within 5 years by optimists and 50 years by pessimists for the last 70 years. I don't think any responsible research in machine learning can say that we can now give a narrower range than 50 or 60 (or even 70) years ago.

> Take for example: Generalization in Deep Learning[1] which gives a theoretical grounding of generalization.

So I gave it a quick read. It's certainly about theory, but I would be amazed if anyone called it anywhere near a breakthrough (and it is only marginally about NNs). It is certainly a step towards understanding the statistics of why we see decent generalizations in many scenarios, especially when considerable hand-tuning of the architecture is involved.

> Yes, and DaVinci invented the helicopter, he just failed to get it working.

There's a difference between advancing theory and practice. It wasn't a breakthrough in theory that led to the invention of LSTM, but better hardware and years of tinkering. Again -- this is important and certainly useful, but my point is that we are nowhere near able to proclaim that deep learning is the right path to AI, or that we are anywhere close to achieving it.

Does Google actually track web activity when logged out whilst logged in to Chrome? By this I mean connecting e.g. searches done on google maps with your account, not just storing the history.

Google of course has all the information server-side to do this; I'm unsure if they actually use it. There's usually a line on tracking that (you think) a company won't cross; e.g. I wouldn't expect Google to use browser fingerprinting to track you when logged out in a different browser, but I'm not sure about web activity in Chrome. Sounds plausible either way.

If this means they will be adapting some of the Silmarillion stories then I might be on board. There are some great sketches of stories there that unfortunately were not completed in Tolkien's lifetime. I would love to see them fleshed out.

When publishing these, they try not to modify the original writings, which is nice, but also frustrating, because they aren't written in a way that Tolkien deemed them ready for publishing. What I would really love is for them to publish the originals, but also give them to other fantasy authors and let them adapt it into a complete novel. A TV show is less exciting (for me), but could be interesting.

I can still remember:

* that moment I was overjoyed to use Lynx over dialup in South India back in the mid-90s allowing me to browse the World Wide Web!

* ...And then that moment being surpassed when I wet myself running the Netscape "GUI browser" on Windows 95 using a brilliant hack by a pair of brothers I knew that wrote a winsock.dll shim on top of Lynx over dialup (called Blue Laser; those guys went on to become CS PhDs doing microprocessor research)

* ...And then that moment being surpassed when IE4 came out in '97 and I couldn't imagine what a faster browser could be or do.

* ...And then that moment when FF 1 came out in '04 and I thought this is incredible, Netscape is alive!! and kicked IE's a55 and me thinking the "browser wars" are over

* ...And then that moment when Google Chrome came out and I went "who needs another browser??" and then switching wholesale to it in short order

* ...Many moments in between thinking "Wow, the browser wars really are over in my lifetime"

* ...And that moment 2 weeks ago when I installed Firefox Quantum beta (Firefox??) and went "Holy crap, this thing is FAST!" and then switched all my browsers everywhere to it. To a beta browser.

It sure is a good time to be a nerd.

> The hard part for me is to identify which parts of my personality are jerk-like, and which parts—when channeled appropriately—are useful (a team lacking critical voices is also going to be ineffective).

I think this might be the wrong way to think about this stuff.

Different communication strategies appeal to different listeners. Rather than analyzing yourself, saying "some parts of me are effective, others fail," I think it's more useful to analyze your interactions. You've almost certainly had really productive, energizing debates with people in which everyone walked away feeling glad that all the cards were laid on the table.

You've probably also had really unproductive, demotivating debates in which people felt attacked, unable to express themselves, and frustrated.

Here's the skill to work on: before you start that debate, try to understand the person you're talking with. How do they want to talk about this topic? Do they do better with collaborative, friendly, "That's a good idea"-type discussion, or with hard-edged debate? Now, mold your communication to their style.

You said this yourself in your #2, but I want to triple-underline it. That's the whole job when you are communicating. It's all about finding ways to get your point across as effectively as possible, which means it's your job to communicate the way they will listen to.

This is hard! But it's worth it. You definitely don't want to just have one way of communicating - that just makes you frustrated when people aren't receptive to that style.

Benchmarks are not comprehensive, nor are they gospel; it's entirely possible for a browser to score lower on a benchmark while also feeling faster in real-world use. For a long time, this was true of Chrome versus Firefox on JavaScript benchmarks: SpiderMonkey is routinely on par with V8, yet Firefox also felt significantly slower.

In the case of Speedometer, it's measuring one specific type of webapp interaction in a single tab; it's not capturing things like perceived speed of opening or closing the browser, switching tabs, loading pages, etc. It doesn't test how the browser performs when many JS-heavy tabs are loaded in the background. It also has lots of corner cases: installing a common password manager halves the score, and a common adblocker nearly does the same again, yet neither show that kind of noticeable degradation in real-world browsing.

Benchmarks are useful for saying "we've improved our browser this much in this area compared to where we were last year," but they're much less useful for making broad generalizations across heterogeneous browsers; there are too many other variables at play.

Edmund Burke famously made this argument in the 18th century as an example of a problem with universal franchise (letting non-property owners vote). Supposedly the "masses" would vote for more and more handouts.

Personally, I think the universal franchise has worked out pretty well overall, and this problem has, if anything, gone the wrong way even during the big bouts of progressivism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

And even when they went overboard as they did in the UK, they recovered, perhaps over-recovered. But in the long run it seems to converge fine.

It's a picture as much as any particular character in a font is, which is to say, it is. We're just very used to recognizing particular variations and combinations. There's one problem here that can be expressed in two ways, one is a proliferation of many new characters which people may not know the idiomatic usage of until they've encountered it in more context, the other is new combinations of known characters and words into a new idiomatic usage that has the same problem.

Consider that there was a time not so long ago where the vast majority of people didn't know what LOL meant and would be confused when encountering it. On the other end you could probably copy some heavy British slang in here right now and I would be very confused.

You aren't alone. From the article:

> Hughes is no basic income purist. He believes, for instance, that for this economic moonshot to be politically palatable, it would have to be tied to work. “Not just because it seems more intuitive for people,” he says, “but because work is a key source of purpose in our lives.”

The Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps are pretty close to what you are describing. Many of the parks, lakes, and stadiums in my town were built under those programs.

A guaranteed paycheck basically creates an incentive to not work very hard. Potential employers didn't look on WPA experience as being a positive thing. A Senate inquiry found that there didn't seem to be much incentive for a supervisor to expect or require good work from the workers.

If there were a way to quantify work to the point where everyone is getting paid for what they are contributing I think something like what you describe could work very well. Maybe the solution is a bunch of non-profit businesses that have the goal of creating jobs and breaking event. I think Good Will stores are supposed to do something like this.
More like throwing out someone else's ugly ogre baby with the mud wallow.

I most definitely want to disincentivize startups that lure people that likely don't yet know any better to move to one of the highest cost-of-living markets in the world, to work long hours in exchange for empty promises and unicorn-lottery tickets. If you actually need top talent, you can pay for it with cash. If you can't get enough cash to pay for it, that might be because investors don't believe you can do what you say you can do, and they might be right.

There are plenty of startups that don't resort to flimflammery to attract employees, and many of them are forced to bootstrap on slim margins and angels because their model will never make them a unicorn, and certain types of investor are only attracted to the high-risk, high-reward ventures. That may be because the rules around the current system provide additional incentives to have that preference. Changing the rules might change the preference.

It is my personal preference that businesses that quietly fill a niche and make money from day 1 be preferred over those that burn their solid rocket booster at both ends, only to make big flashy explosions that do nothing and go nowhere. But I lack the funds and the risk tolerance to enforce my preference, so it doesn't really matter to the markets at all. But I still have one vote worth of political power, whenever that actually matters.

I agree. Browser speed does not affect consumer choice directly. Very few people chose Chrome over Firefox because it was slightly faster or slightly more stable. The vast majority of users chose Chrome because it felt better.

Also, Google's pushing it helped. Otherwise consider how Chrome has occupied an IE like market share despite the quality Delta between Chrome and IE/Edge, Firefox or Safari is significantly lesser than the Delta between Firefox and IE was a decade ago, yet Firefox peaked at a much lower marketshare than Chrome's today.
