>Hasn't Walmart been inching into this space for a while?

Yup. An aircraft carrier cannot turn on a dime but when it finally comes around it's bad news for anyone in its way.
Tesla won't go bankrupt. They have a very valuable brand and a lot of valuable IP. What could happen if they don't make it is that they get bought by another auto maker or company that wants to enter the space at a price that is much less than what Tesla's shareholders would prefer and the investors take a big haircut.
Not arguing with that, but I think the jury is out on whether they need to be hand vectorized. With recent GCC, generic C for BLIS' DGEMM gives about 2/3 the performance of the hand-coded version on Haswell, and it may be somewhat pessimized by hand-unrolling rather than letting the compiler do it. The remaining difference is thought to be mainly from prefetching, but I haven't verified that. (Details are scattered in the BLIS issue tracker earlier this year.)

For information of anyone who doesn't know about performance of level 3 BLAS: It doesn't come just from vectorization, but also cache use with levels of blocking (and prefetch). See the material under https://github.com/flame/blis. Other levels -- not matrix-matrix -- are less amenable to fancy optimization, with lower arithmetic density to pit against memory bandwidth, and BLIS mostly hasn't bothered with them, though OpenBLAS has.
So, does selling their externalities to poorer nations absolve a rich nation of their responsibility?

Hopefully it can also predict me backing out right before hitting buy. Otherwise life is going to get expensive.
In a sense some of the food delivery companies are doing exactly this. Perhaps if one of them branched out...
At present Walmart does not commingle its inventory with 3rd party sellers. Things sold 3rd party are also shipped 3rd party so it is currently immune to the counterfeit problem that amazon is having.
Coming up with a next day delivery service on scale for every brick and mortar retailer out there sounds like a good start-up idea. Kind of Uber for Walmart or some such thing!
> if people are getting anxious because there might not room in the bus/train, increase the frequency

And how do you plan on doing that, once all the paths are taken?
If you're saying that it's possible to do testing badly, I agree, just like it's possible to write production code badly. Sometimes teams new to unit testing do it ritualistically, without really understanding the purpose. That can lead to all sorts of bad outcomes. E.g., lots of tests that look impressive and even generate good coverage numbers, but don't really test what matters. Or tests that are highly duplicative, such that changing one thing in the code requires changing a lot of things in tests.

I have definitely dealt with code bases like that, and that sucks. But I have also dealt with code bases where the tests were great, and that's an amazing experience.

To do TDD well, I think it's important to release early and often and to reflect on one's experience (e.g., with weekly team retrospectives). That way if people are doing something unhelpful, like writing very duplicative tests, pretty soon they'll become an impediment to progress. The team will learn to write the useful tests, while skipping the ones that might fit some hypothetical pattern. It also helps people learn to design for testability; often, painful tests are a sign of bad design of the production code.
Can you please share where you read that "the US has some of the cheapest generic drug prices"?

My mom, who lives in a southeast asian country, came to visit me in the US last month and I asked her to buy generic antibiotics; ear drops; artificial tear drops; generic antihistamines; and they all are much cheaper than what I would have paid here (and are equally effective in a way that I've been weathering fine in this allergy season with these drugs). My significant other, who is from the same country as I, is a medical resident in the US and she still orders meds from her parents.
> Inflating or price-fixing medicine that is ESSENTIAL to human life is not moral. It causes people to die because they can't afford it.

"Inflating" the price of something beyond the cost of production is how you make a profit. Pharma companies are not charities and there's no reason to expect them to not try to make a profit. The morality of charging money for health services is subjective.

Now "price-fixing" is a different ballpark altogether. That's specifically illegal and rightly so in a capitalistic system as competition is what we're counting on to reduce prices. If they created a cartel to inflate the prices of generics then the companies should be punitively fined and the responsible executives who should be prosecuted.
Consumers won't notice a difference. They'll continue putting their plastic into recycling bins, so it will continue to not end up in the rivers. Unless there are rogue recycling operators who illegally dump the plastic. But that is not in the hands of the consumers.
I scanned a color yesterday, it said, perennial color

As a native English speaker, I have no idea what "perennial" means as a color. I think maybe the program you are using to scan the color is meant for matching paint colors? Because of the large number of different shades of paint available, and the smaller number of color names that have meaning in English, paint colors have to be given made-up names that don't mean anything outside the context of the naming scheme used by a particular paint company. When a company sells eighty different kinds of green, they have to be creative to think up enough names. I'm sure they picked "perennial" because most plants are green and perennial is a word related to plants. There's no other relationship between "perennial" and a color.
Why the downvotes? Tesla is objectively a bankruptcy risk. A huge number of professional analysts agree with this statement. You’re better than this, HN.
> Within the next few decades, we will see the oil majors facing a similar fate,

I'm wondering what is the consensus about this statement. AFAIK solar and wind may be cheap at the margin, in specific areas, when they are supported by coal/nuclear. But can we reasonably think they can replace fossil fuel at a large scale in a near future? I have little knowledge on this issue, but I heard reasonable experts [1,2] saying it was doubtful.

This is untrue. Rust is unsafe in all aspects they are claiming to be safe. It's better than C, C++, or Go, but still type unsafe, memory unsafe and concurrency unsafe.

They are popular due to the wrong hype around their "safeties", and having a healthy community.
This is a pretty big deal. 3 months ago [0], Tesla made it a big deal that it would start finally selling Model 3s for $35K, and that it was possible because it would be closing down most of its retail division and selling online. About a month ago, it was a little bit controversial when Tesla made the $35K option an "off-the-menu" option on the website.

For whatever reasons, at least in my market (East Coast USA), Angular seems to be the framework of high paying salaried work.

My suspicion is there are two things driving this: Angular is More Enterprisy™, and the businesses that have committed to Angular have a slightly smaller pool of experienced Angular devs to draw from, increasing dev negotiating power. I expect that to continue for as long as Angular can hold a significant enough threshold of the market, but regardless, longer term, I expect React to be the new jQuery (essential for most web devs to know).

Sorry but I won't spend 30 minutes waiting outside in snow, then getting on a bus for 10 minutes, then waiting some 10 more minutes, then getting on a bus for 15 minutes and then 25 minutes of walking through snow, when I can just be there within 15 minutes by car. It's not far, it's just uphill (the bus is too long to fit on these narrow uphill roads).

I can't wait for autonomous cars. I just hope that someone in charge will realise that not everyone lives near a frequented bus stop before they limit all transportation to public transport (as they plan in many places). I noticed that many people talking about the great benefit of public transport live in the wider city centre - but most people live outside that!
Constant price changes keeps Tesla in the news. People don't care if it is $400 more this month or $1000 more, that means pennies on the finance that pays for it. But with each of these price change news events there is that nudge-nudge for eco-nsumers to get the wallet out for the Tesla their backside deserves.

There is quite a cottage industry of Tesla watching blogs forever able to make mountains out of mice when it comes to the latest Tesla news.
Attaching a specific price to a long term marketing campaign that becomes entrenched in the minds of consumers should be considered an antipattern. It locks vendors into a price point that ignores inflation. This can be tough to break free of when inflation (or tariffs or commodity prices, etc.) inevitably make legacy price points unprofitable. See 5 cent coke[0] and $5 footlong Subway sandwiches[1].

Tesla should be able to raise prices by ~2%/year (the rate of inflation) without it being a big deal to consumers. Hopefully consumers are getting their annual cost of living wage increases at their respective jobs.

I hope they can do a better job than Amazon but I'm not confident. I'm currently gaming their system of one day delivery failure credits because they can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact hat USPS won't deliver to my door and the packages are too large. USPS gets a box, it won't fit, they take it back to the post office and tell me I can pick it up the next day. I contact amazon, tell them it's late because the package is too large and they picked the wrong carrier and they give me a $5 credit. I tell USPS I'm not circumnavigating a lake to pick up the package and they can send it back. I border again and go through the same thing. I've told Amazon that they can't ship large items to me via USPS but they can't seem to figure out how to handle it. I even asked them to not use USPS (they're unreliable anyway) but they're stick in a loop. I'm openly and publicly doing this and they don't care. It's stupid. Thankfully it's a low priority item and I don't actually need it. Some day it will show up... maybe.

Walmart, if you can figure out that problem, you'll have my money.
Understanding s-expressions isn't hard, but reading s-expression code quickly when you're not used to it is very slow and frustrating. Fluency is essential for efficient use of a language, and breaking people's already-existing infix fluency is quite a hurdle (or certainly appears to be from the outside).
There was one old norse system I recall reading about which worked well for it - they had periodic "readings of the laws" before a broad assembly. If it went forgotten it was autorepealed as irrelevant. If anyone spoke up with a reminder it would be included until the next cycle.

Of course with neccessary complexity so high today that wouldn't be that workable - every individual EPA regulation may be important but only come up to specific subsets.

The closest thing I could see as viable would involve Cryptography and standard law files as the mode of distribution and a server which accepts uploads of valid laws - which could be defaulted to "one person with another server ensures everything remains in force".
I tried ordering a flat screen TV from Walmart. My logic was that it'd be a lot easier to return to a physical store then mail back.

I'm not sure if it was the overall trip or the final delivery but I found the package with the "This side up" upside down. Opened the box and the screen was totally shattered.

Their return process was nice though!
> The jury is just there to evaluate the credibility of the competing experts who have offered opinions on that question. If lay people are not equipped to evaluate such credibility, that calls into question the very underpinnings of our policy-making institutions.

Isn’t that the point being made?

Frankly I don’t see how juries can possibly be expected to weigh two expert opinions espousing statistical whatever’s. I can force a statistical argument either way, and if you don’t have both a background in the area and time to dig through assumptions you’re gonna have a hard time knowing if I’m right.
Where would solar and wind be in this chart? It's definitely not zero (falls from height, etc).
That doesn't mean they won't go bankrupt... The brand and IP are assets but the liabilities can easily exceed them. Perhaps you mean that Tesla won't disappear...
One of the other analogies is to containers: processes in BEAM are as isolated from each other as applications running on different machines. They can pass messages to each other but they absolutely cannot access each other's memory... this was explained to me when I asked about running Elixir apps in Docker containers and the "Erlang old-timer" laughed and explained why it wasn't necessary.
A much more normal pattern is to raise prices a small amount each year, and a little more when they do a visual refresh or complete redesign. Then as that model generation ages, they keep the official price the same, but offer discounts through their dealership system as incentives. It's not so different from lowering the price, but it's slightly more hidden.

It gets more obvious when a certain model (or an entire make) is unpopular, and starts seeing several thousand dollar discounts across the line. Even really popular vehicles like pick-up trucks sometimes get five figure incentives placed on them. "20% off brand new trucks!"

It's not at all weird for vehicles to get more expensive each year, but it's usually obfuscated by the wide variety of trim levels and options, which are often shuffled with the price changes. A mid-year price increase is, at least to my mind, pretty unheard of. Of course Tesla is in the news 24/7, and might be getting more attention than we're used to. With the spotlight on them, they can't do this without serious scrutiny, and it is an atypical pattern of "playing" with prices to try to find profitability while moving a lot of product.
I say yes, it is viable, and I'll explain!

Different clients will value your skills differently. If you can fix a website and that creates 10% more sales revenue, somebody making $2,000 can only afford to compensate you $200 or else they're losing money. But the same skills and labour to a client making $2,000,000 represents $200,000 of value. If you want to make money, you have to work for the people who value your time, skills, and labour _more_.

So with that in mind, here's my secret: the profile of a profitable freelance client. This has been from my experience, and I've made money from clients that don't fit this profile too, but in general this is what making money in freelance looks like now:

- US-based small to medium sized business

- that is already profitable and making money via their website

- that is an organization still small enough you can speak directly to the owner or a key decision-maker

This is the kind of client who:

- has money to pay you

- values your skills

I think too many freelance clients think that because they are a small business, they must work for like-sized businesses, but tiny businesses simply don't have the money to value what you do enough to compensate you. A profitable company that's already making money from their website is precisely who will value what you have to offer more!
This is still only on orders over $35.

Walmart still does not realize what Bezo's has done with Prime. He has made it the default option and incentivized users to check there first by removing all the friction.

Having these weird caveats and no 'membership' (which again, makes users think of Prime first) is going to keep Walmart behind for a long while.
What I wonder: why did it take them this long? Walmart has warehouse-sized stores that are close to almost everybody. And most of America's houses are already visited 6 days a week by a delivery person. Walmart could and should have made a deal with the USPS a decade ago. It would have been great for all concerned.

Instead, they let Amazon practically own the concept, eating away at their huge distribution advantage.
They just raised $1.5B at relatively reasonable terms. Not great, but not horrible either. So now short-term bankruptcy is off the table, and investors have bet $1.5B against those "professional analysts".

I get a lot of Latin and Spanish in mine but I think that's because they actually are represented in the poetry corpus. Not too surprising that the regular GPT-2s are also exposed to a lot of foreign language, as Reddit is not a strictly anglophone website, and that it'll remember despite some finetuning (there are so many parameters in it, after all).

I do look at the training samples but I've never noticed a worsening of 'coherence' in the samples, so to speak. I wonder if that what overfitting looks like? My PG corpus is so large that the GPT-2s struggle to converge, much less overfit, so I don't know what overfitting would look like. You could try using the new pseudo-validation loss checking feature nshepperd added to see if there's any connection between the validation loss and your perception of coherence.

That's the current situation - but the drivers themselves are mostly free of GPL; the GPL-derived parts in linuxkpi can be (and eventually will) be rewritten to make them BSD-licensed, and that would make it possible to go back to importing GPU drivers into base, if the DRM developers wish so.

They have a ton of debt and that's what matters, investors can only legally take a haircut down to 0% and debt must be paid down. Another company buying then would be buying the debt as well. If their cash flows aren't enough to pay down the debt and keep operations going, then they will ha e to file bankruptcy, at quick point those other companies you mentioned might buy Tesla's assets.
Disclaimer: I work for GM, my opinions are my own.

Generally automakers update their suggested retail price yearly - but remember Tesla uses a completely different sales paradigm. Most OEMs don't sell directly to customers, they sell to dealerships. For many reasons, dealerships may choose to sell below suggested price, or above! OEMs may offer a "factory rebate" or special financing to lower prices, but I don't know of any general practice whereby a manufacturer raises prices in the middle of the year (other than removing incentives, which would effectively raise prices)
Dataset of one, but I've been more and more impressed with Target's online offerings lately. I've gotten a little sick of the fakes/third party nonsense on Amazon so I tried both Walmart and Target.

My guess it would be related to gas. It's my understanding that new utility-grade wind and solar installs have to have generating capacity equal to or greater than the nominal generation capacity of wind/solar to maintain a stable base load when the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining and that natural gas powered two-stage plants tend to be the "insurance" layer (they are relatively clean, start fast, can throttle up/down far more flexibly than other modes of generation...)

Bills and other debts can be subject to limited liability when the other party explicitly agrees to it.

My point was that damages to 3rd parties who didn't agree to the conditions of limited liability, like people affected by hazardous chemicals(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster), unsound structures, unsafe workplaces, environmental damage and so on should not be denied restitution because of limited liability. Neither should the taxpayers pick up the tab in such cases.
