Another approach is to run a minimal Arch on metal, and everything else in VMs. If your motherboard is compatible with GPU passthrough, the dGPU can now be passed among the VMs without hardware reboot. The GPU performance loss is minor, but I saw added latency variance when doing VR. I've seen several HN comments from folks happy with this approach.

Well, you wondered,

"I don't really care what their goal would be, as long as it would be a goal that they could work towards..."

and that link shows the basic four orienting science questions (right panel in blue text) - how did life begin, how did the solar system evolve, how did the planets originate, etc.

Those are the top-level questions that the National Academies panel doing the Decadal Survey arrived at and that motivates the portfolio of planetary missions that are planned. I would have linked to the Decadal Survey (overview at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_Science_Decadal_Surv...), but the report itself is a very long pdf - and this gets into the strategy in detail.

For instance, the next Mars mission (Mars 2020) is set up to address the "life" question, and the "how did the planet [Mars] evolve" question, etc.

You didn't count in the capacity factor for solar.. which is only 10-30% (depending on the type of solar plant they build).

So best case, 200 GW will only produce 525 TWh annually. This is equivalent to a 66 GW nuclear plant (nuclear has a 90% capacity factor).

Out of 20000 TWh electricity produced globally, that's only 2.5%.
Watts measure power, Watt hours measure energy. A 200 GW power plant could output a maximum of ~1,700 TWh in a year which is about 8% of 21,000 TWh.

I agree that language is important for effective communication. I also am cognizant of how language changes over time, in meaning, connotation, usage, morphology. One can find problematic usage in a lot of places if one chooses to look. I don't believe that's what you're doing here, and don't mean to put forth some reductio ad absurdum argument. I'm interested to learn what heuristic you use to decide what language is acceptable and what needs to be changed. Would you mind sharing?

Those don’t make much sense.

Programming an automated line to build a car (or any other product) in a different way is a tremendous amount of work, since all of the motions have to be exactly right. Usually customization weighs heavily in the favor of humans, who can adapt much more easily to parts that are different.

Also, an automated production line isn’t going to be any use for repairing cars, all it can do is bolt them together.

These aren’t some kind of AI robots. They are mechatronics that are programmed to follow very specific toolpaths. Reprogramming them by even a few millimeters is a monumental task, and to test them, you have to try to build a car ...

I believe it's also reasoned to be a consequence of the apparent non-interaction with the electromagnetic force that dark matter has. Since it doesn't block light in any way we can detect (absorption, changes in polarization, changes in direction, etc.) it's also not likely to actually "touch" normal matter in the way you'd intuitively expect. That's because that touch is mediated via the electromagnetic force, the electron clouds and the charges they have repelling each other over the vast empty spaces of normal matter.
The report also seems to discuss the evils of excessive automation in general.

So yeah, this could apply to Tesla cars. Or rubber toys, which are also manufactured in a highly automated environment.

The point is that that skilled engineer can manage and maintain robots across many factories. That's an aspect of Musk's "the machine that builds the machine" goal. It does have a high up front cost, but the long term advantage is real. Namely the ability to print factories, roughly speaking. Tesla is aiming for production volumes that are much higher than any current automaker.
Interesting idea. So it's essentially a marketplace for connecting business owners with a side project to marketers? What makes it different from a freelance platform?

I think it's bad that people prize volunteering time and direct effort over monetary donations. Rich people are free to spend their time on whatever they like, of course, but comparative advantage applies as much to charitable efforts as it does to any other enterprise. If you're best at managing charities, you should do that. If you're able to earn vast sums of money doing something else, it's more efficient to do that, and then pay someone else to manage the charity.

>Like, "Here's 50 billion dollars. Free mammograms to anyone on the planet until the money runs out." It would be nice to see a global respite from some sort of issue.

That would cover one mammogram for every woman in America. If donated to anti-malaria charities, it would save about 25M lives (more or less, according to GiveWell's estimates, which may not scale to that much funding). According to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, that's a little over half of what it will eventually cost to eradicate malaria.

Solving the world's problems is expensive.
To me, the coolest thing about this story is the telescope that was used to find this galaxy. It's literally a bunch of off-the-shelf Canon telephoto lenses stuck together on a metal frame, each with a camera sensor, with coordinated aim and focus.

Apparently, some of the newer Canon lenses have a newfangled anti-reflective coating with unprecedented performance. So some enterprising Canucks said, "you know, maybe we can buy a bunch of those and tape them together and make a world-class scientific instrument, eh?" And then they fucking did it.

The point is, it's a double standard. The guideline you quote used to be broadly followed, but is now broken regularly.

Besides, read my edit above - whether it was accidental or deliberate, the person was being incredibly intellectually dishonest. It wasn't too long ago that that counted for something on this website. I suppose it still does, but what's new is that it is trumped by political correctness.

If you're going to bother with a reply, how about you address my "intellectually dishonest" charge?

Although usually mild-left, they sometimes publish articles which are pretty crazy-left.

Here's an example[1]: You have a university professor citing research saying that the 'acting white' phenomenon exists in integrated schools, plus her own black students tell her they suffered from the 'acting white' stigma. Yet she somehow concludes that belief in the phenomenon is not just wrong but 'intellectually dishonest'.

2. Give Ripple Labs good press and put them on the front

3. Increases the supply of XRP which:

- Means more XRP in the market in the market for more users

- Drops the value per XRP making transaction costs cheaper

All that aside, let's all give Ripple a virtual high five for funding education. This is amazing!

App.net was something I loved paying for, though.

It came with a block of cloud storage, an ad free social network, an API for devs to build on top of... those three ingredients alone were fertile ground for developers to make some very engaging, unique apps. It also felt much more communal.

I was a fan and definitely miss App.net
Many criticisms of FB's business model and practices in the past were immediately downvoted on HN and other forums. Articles that were critical of FB or Zuckerberg were flagged frequently and sometimes even HN moderators deleted comments critical of FB.

It's not that people weren't critical, but during the heyday those voices were suppressed. Now that sentiment has slowly shifted, these articles are seeing traction

Please don't. If there's to be a reasonable discussion on a person who's generated lots of heat on HN often with little light, let's start off by giving it a fighting chance.
the Japanese, try to limit automation because it "is expensive and is statistically inversely correlated to quality." Their approach is to get the process right first, then bring in the robots — the opposite of Musk's.

Of course, they use Japanese workers, which have a completely different work ethic than American workers.

I say that having worked in an American assembly line (not automotive though). I haven't worked in Japan myself, but the attention to detail of Japanese workers in even the most menial of jobs is amazing.
Does it matter if it's a PR move or not?
The potential environmental impact of loads of silver iodide on human and other animal life is of concern. But it is China, so they probably don't care about that aspect.
This just seems a bit hand-wavy. What were the Japanese manufacturing, out of how many parts, what was the model lineup and were there any significant differences in the final product as far as customizations?

Tesla is solving a very narrow problem of a single model of the vehicle with limited parts inventory and somewhat reduced complexity (peculiar to EVs in general), offering very little customization (customers can choose the color and the interior, but that’s about it).
Yes it was. The options were to pay money for a lower populated platform (App.net), vs a higher-populated platform for free. The only benefit was that App.net claimed it was going to be nicer with your data. Everything else was worse. App.net couldn't compete against Twitter with only one pro and several cons. It's only hope was to survive long enough until Twitter's investors got tired of sinking money into it and pulled the plug. Unfortunately for App.net Twitter managed to turn a profit.
Great thing about Elon is that he believes in everything so much he is probably laughing reading those articles. I understand that myself, would lough too. There will be no future without 100% automation and for me this is the best bet you can make. We have so many areas of life that need to be automated and someone has to be first. Companies that have ancient roots are too unreformable and don't want to change what already works well for them, which is why BMW is lagging behind, despite the fact that it can produce millions of cars a year.

People will go crazy, say that he lost everything, he is stupid, etc... But he will not give a f%#k just to return with double power and hit like no other.
Interesting about the diversity one. I’m slightly curious about which company it is (obviously don’t share if you’re uncomfortable), because we’re apparently going to add almost the same question to our application. It’s all very political. It has nothing to do with finding good software devs and everything to do with making sure people conform to a very narrow political view. I’m actually surprised we haven’t been sued yet.

Technology has agency. You just need to know where to look
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model has this to say about the role of dark matter in the theory, which I find worrying:

> Dark matter is postulated in order to account for gravitational effects observed in very large-scale structures (the "flat" rotation curves of galaxies; the gravitational lensing of light by galaxy clusters; and enhanced clustering of galaxies) that cannot be accounted for by the quantity of observed matter.

(My emphasis.)

This sounds very much like someone wanted a theory that would predict the observed rotation of galaxies, and created one that assumed the existence of dark matter as a way of doing that. (This was also basically my understanding of where the theory of dark matter came from.)

I'm asking about a theory that predicts dark matter, from some other set of assumptions.

Have I understood this right?
> I posit that its a beautiful piece of artwork designed as a honeypot.

A terawatt hour is a unit of energy. A terawatt, or a gigawatt, is a unit of power. To estimate how many TWh can be generated annually from 200 GW of solar capacity, we need two more numbers:

- The number of hours in a year.

- The percentage of nameplate capacity that the system can be expected to produce on average, e.g. the capacity factor.

There are 8760 hours in a year. A solar PV system in a sunny region may have an annualized capacity factor of 25%. (Installations in really sunny regions may achieve upward of 30%, and Saudi Arabia certainly has a lot of sun, but dust offsets some of the benefits of sunny deserts.)

200 * 8760 * 0.25 = 438000 gigawatt hours of electricity generated per year, e.g. 438 TWh, or about 2% of present annual global electricity generation of 21,000 TWh.
It was just as obvious in 2012, if not more. It's just that they worked hard on pulling off a small but surprising crowdfunding/preorder-like campaign among a specific group right after they were pissed at Twitter for restricting client apps (betrayal) and basically pulling the plug on the protocol idea in favor of an ad business.

Their approach, however, by building a paid Twitter clone as the "killer app" of their platform, which isn't a very useful use case when you have free Twitter, awfully reminds me of what Dennis Ritchie wrote in Anti-Foreword of Unix Haters Handbook[1]:

"Your sense of the possible is in no sense pure: sometimes you want the same thing you have, but wish you had done it yourselves; other times you want something different, but can't seem to get people to use it"

They really wished they owned Twitter, and they did it their way, although if they really were Twitter owners, they too would have likely opted for the proven, lucrative, and more straightforward ad business over the protocol business at that point.

Criticism aside, it was probably worth trying anyway, and the fact that they raised funds in their initial campaign ($5/user if I remember correctly) was not easy to pull off and surprising.

Thanks. It amuses me that somehow that the jury is out on the relationship between general relativity and quantum mechanics – up to the point where the basic primitives of reality are considered unknown, and viable candidates include miniature knots or networks of foam – and yet people are quick to assume the ontological nature of dark matter, a primitive ostensibly responsible for an effect on gravitation.

A Faraday cage at building-scale is just that, a cage to attenuate omnidirectional signals.

The Pringles antenna for wifi, or a Yagi or parabolic dish, is strongly directional and can pass through the voids in a cage when aligned. It just needs 12.5cm between the cage elements, like a window.
