Tesla Model S owner here. By choosing spots and times strategically I've gotten nearly 400MPH charging at the existing stations and the difference it makes to convenience is amazing. Super looking forward to 1000MPH! At that rate I can likely make it to Squamish BC, from Seattle, and back, with only one ~20 minute charge in between. That's still about 4x or 5x for the time I would spend filling an ICE car, but getting to around 20 minutes - instead of an hour - feels like an important threshold. I can chill out or catch up on e-mail or something for 20 minutes without feeling the need to go walk, or check out the weird strip mall or Jack in the Box that the charging station I use was planted beside.

Also it's been clear since the Tesla Semi truck was announced that some major change in charging infrastructure would be necessary. This doesn't seem quite enough for /that/ though, I wonder if another rev is coming.
How does Infinite Flight compare to the mobile version of X-Plane 10?

I think it's pretty fun that X-Flight 10 mobile has, for example, the full version of their in-house Boeing 737. It pales in comparison to some of the 3rd party offerings for desktop X-Plane, but for a flight simulator on a mobile device it has very impressive system depth, with a working FMC and all:

However, manipulating all those buttons on an iPad touchscreen is not the most comfortable and has some quirks (you kind of need to look at the button in the right angle, for example). Is that better in Infinite Flight?
I have an i3 now and after my lease is up, I will absolutely either get a Model 3 or Y. There's just no other electric car comparable that will allow you to road-trip without worrying about charger access.
It's true. I look forward to seeing more language bindings, like Python, Javascript, etc. I expect it will be soon. For my own GraphBLAS education I have been working on a PostgreSQL extension:

The author did an incorrect job of dumbing down the subject matter, but still, seems like neat research.

I assume they are talking about geobacter, but they didn't say so.
The main info is missing in this PR release though. Is this a hardware upgrade or a software update? Looks like a hw upgrade, if so are they upgrading all their charging stations? Or did they already do it? How long is the upgrade going to take and how much will it cost?

Same here, that's why I sometimes wish I had saved some screenshots for my own use or even for sharing but I have a feeling Apple would have hunted me down for it. That's probably why we don't see so many of them in the wild. Even in the orientation you'll hear stories about how seriously they take their ability to surprise and delight, with an emphasis on the surprise. :)

You get root on the device simply by authenticating as root with password alpine. Sometimes you'll get your hands on iDevices with weird specs like 3.75GB of RAM etc.

There is also AppleConnect which is Apple's internal single-sign on.

What I find fascinating the most is honestly how I am unable to find recent screenshots of these software. They are all screenshots of really old versions with outdated UI.

Apple must have a special way of taking these down or doing offensive-SEO and burying them in results because while I was able to find search results for "apple luna internal wiki", I am no longer able to.

It's a completely new hardware design with the power cabinets now using industrial inverters. The old v2 cabinet used a bunch of Model S inverters. The power posts (the white things with the cables on them) are the same as v2 externally, but not internally.

They're not retrofitting stations, but all new stations (other than Urban Superchargers, which they will still install in urban locations) will be v3 hardware.

For the cars, accepting the higher charger rate is 100% software in Model 3 (because the cabling and battery already support it). Model S & X will probably need thicker DC cables to the battery to support the 250 kW peak charging rate.
I have mixed feelings about this presentation style. On the one hand, it takes advantage of the computer medium nicely. On the other, it seems very content-sparse. It grabs attention, but it doesn't seem to convey much information.

The US is going to be in a hot war with China within 10-15 years. The only way to avoid this is to crush the Chinese economy through trade wars, forcible containment of Chinese expansion (e.g. Huawei ban, undermine belt and road), and covert ops - and that may not work. China is clearly an enemy of the US and is on the cusp of becoming an existential threat. Forget about breaking up big tech, is it time to start thinking about breaking up China?

This is clearly an extreme position, but how extreme do you think it will be in 5 years?

> If I pay $2000 a month rent I'm always going to have less liquid capital than if I pay $1000 a month mortgage

If you pay 20% down plus 4% upfront in closing costs on a $1 million dwelling, and then pay mortgage of $3,800/mo (which is fairly realistic for a conventional loan), it'll be more than 5 years before you break even, in liquid capital and presuming nothing is extracted from equity and ignoring any property maintenance costs that landlords have that would be rolled into rent for most renters, with a renter paying $7,600 for a similar dwelling which would actually represent a quite high rental yield.

I think it's more about trying to catch up to the CCS charging networks which already have 350 kW chargers (Ionity, Electrify America, EVgo, FastNed). It'd be better if Tesla adopted the CCS standard for all their cars. The European version of the Model 3 has a CCS plug so it's already the case that some Teslas have it.

I can fuel my ICE car at any fueling station. I should be able to charge my electric car at any charging station. Minimizing the number of different charging standards will help achieve that.

By how much would using the supercharging feature reduce the overall lifetime of the batteries? Lithium cells aren't immune to the memory effect, which would only be shortened with the high heat associated with pushing a significant amount of power through the car.

It's perfectly socially acceptable to chat up women and strangers in a public place like a bar or coffee shop as long as you have proper boundaries and leave people alone if they make it clear they want to be left alone.

I think it was important to them that someone else did not win. Winning it themselves was probably a bonus

Probably, but it is up to it's competitors to try and prevent that.

Either way, the customers could stand to benefit from increased investment

Well, the constructs used in the xaml appear to be very similar between uwp and wpf. You still have controltemplates, datatemplates, and dependency properties, so there is a lot in common more than just syntax.
> I don't know who you think ends up paying for maintenance and taxes in a rented property - it's the renter, through their rent.

Equally correctly, the landlord pays them, and landlords that can't at market rents on top of any purchase financing that they are still paying go out of the landlord business.

Most precisely, where, as is usually the case, neither supply nor demand are either haveperfectly elastic or inelastic, the costs are effectively split between renters and landlords in some ratio; the market rents are higher but the financial profits are lower than they would be if the costs involved were not a factor.
> Why is US pretending to be friend with an enemy that is out to steal anything in US that isn’t locked down?

Because the thing about capitalism, is that its acolytes will happily sell the rope that they will be hanged with. To meet Wall Street's next quarterly expectations for rope sales, of course.

Companies want to do business with China, because there is money to be made, and their owners don't give a care about free speech or religion of people on the other side of the world.

And this is a good thing. It means that there's a lot of wealthy, influential people, who would really hate for there to be a war between two superpowers, despite the best efforts of nationalists.

PS. Countries spy on eachother all the time. If you think the US does not steal military secrets from its friends, and enemies, I've got a bridge to sell you.
In hindsight, I think US having good or even decent relations with China will be seen as a historic strategic mistake. The Sino-Soviet split seemed like a brilliant move at the time but birthed a monster. Giving even one ounce of legitimacy to the CCP was clearly a long term miscalculation. The soviet union would have fallen eventually anyways, there was no need to court demons.

We used to cut these countries off and isolate them, now we do business with them while they steal our tech and manipulate our population. Now it looks like we have a vehemently anti-western authoritarian superpower in the making.

You can spew all the whataboutism rhertoric you want, but the fact that Huawei can go through the motions to sue the US government shows why the US has the moral standing in this privacy argument. I wouldn't be surprised if the US government can get my data in one form or another but I expect it to be done in due process either in the form of subpoena or some sort (which is why the Snowden leak was so important). You cannot say the same in China. Just look at the two Canadians arrested compared to Meng Wan Zhou. The family of the two Canadians couldn't even talk to them when they were first arrested while Meng Wan Zhou's husband and lawyer was in immediate contact. The difference is in the Justice system.

I think a better and elegant way to implement is the pytorch way. By defining a forward and backward function for easy chaining, you can easily chain multiple layers into a single model. Placing the training loop inside the layer will be hard to write a multi layer version.

I'm not sure how it is irrelevant. The Pelosi statement "fact check" is pretty bad. They misleadingly state the ACA was passed by the House in October 2009. They neglect to mention the bill the House passed in October 2009 was titled “Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009”. They continue on to falsely claim Republicans of hiding the text of the American Health Care Act bill. Their claim was the draft was not posted until June 2017. A person can easily confirm the first draft of the bill was posted in March 2017 by a quick check on archive.org. They used this false claim to "illustrate" the Republicans are the shady party. They entirely ignore the Democrats took the House bill which had nothing to do with healthcare, replaced the entire text of the bill with an unrelated topic, and did everything they could to pass it because they knew they would no longer have the votes necessary if they waited on the House to pass it first. It is clear they were going out of their way to defend Democrats and demonize Republicans.
