More negative news on Tesla drawn from interviews with short sellers. The journalist on this is famous for working with Jim Chanos, the short seller who was involved in exposing Enron. He is shorting Tesla and thinks it's the next Enron, and got this journalist to push his short narrative.

I don't buy it. The economics of solar are great long term, and selling it with electric cars makes a lot of sense because a) EV buyers use a lot of power, and can save a lot of money with solar b) the electric car batteries also work great for storing solar energy to use at night

What they're offering to consumers with their new $50 a month solar rental program is the ability to have a completely off the grid sustainable energy solution for your car and your home. That is huge. Have you heard about the multi-trillion dollar petroleum industry?

Also the cars drive themselves better and better every day. Go try it. It's not perfect, but the car fucking drives itself with an object detection neural net and some traffic law heuristics. It's fucking amazing. Go try it if you don't believe me

This short bet will blow up in their faces
All the French bakeries I went to actually had a huge amount of fresh baguettes, absolutely delicious and 35 cents each. Maybe they were bad compared to gourmet baguettes, of course, but they were great compared to the American variants
Delete the "funding" package from npm.

It is adware, malware, against the npm tos.

It's not a matter of "if you don't like it don't use it" because it is transitively included with every package that includes it. By design, obviously.

That is exactly why malware/adware is banned from npm.
Gnome has an “enable Emacs key bindings” option which will enable readline shortcuts. Can’t remember whether it’s in settings or the tweak tool.
Mass producing baguette is done in many supermarket in France, but I've never tasted any good one coming out of it

Producing a good baguette is an art, meaning that a good boulanger knows how to take into account many external factors like humidity in the air to adapt the recipe (% of water, prep time, cooking time). produce consistent result and a baguette that taste good and fresh for a full day.

As for the number of baguettes produced in one batch, it is also because baguettes (different from other bread that last serveral days) are really better fresh. Fresh from the oven (for breakfast !) is best, half a day is good, 1.5 day and still good means you have a very good boulanger.
Maybe the confusion could have been avoided if instead of:

codesushi42 would have said (emphasis mine):

Not that I think it was incorrect as it was, just a little ambiguous, I guess.

It was a heavily modified version of Mario 64:

"Miyamoto: We were using the Super Mario 64 engine for Zelda, but we had to make so many modifications to it that it's a different engine now. What we have now is a very good engine, and I think we can use it for future games if we can come up with a very good concept. It took three or so years to make Zelda, and about half the time was spent on making the engine. We definitely want to make use of this engine again."[1]

Found My Fitness[0] With Dr Rhonda Patrick. She and her guests go quite in depth about science behind nutrition, genetics, exercise, sleep, fasting, and health (physical and mental).

I first heard her on Joe Rogan and was super impressed with her depth of knowledge on these topics so I've been listening to her podcast ever since. She does a pretty good job of breaking down the sciency stuff for the layman but it still sometimes goes super in depth and goes right over my head, but I still enjoy listening to her.

> Now Tesla shareholders, who overwhelmingly voted for the merger, made a big mistake. But Tesla shareholders own the company, they are allowed to make whatever decisions they want.

They voted for the merger based on Musk's claim that SolarCity had a good financial position and that they were releasing a revolutionary solar shingle product. Both of those were wrong.
The article says it costs about twice as much.

> Currently the cost of this new technology is still considered prohibitive, as it is twice the cost of regular concrete manufacture (70-80 € / m3), making it only viable for projects where leakage and corrosion are particularly problematic, such as underground and underwater structures.

What's funny to me though is that they consider this cost prohibitive despite the expected theoretically longer life without replacement or maintenance.

Researchers overlook more important issue. As the government controls the servers, it can impersonate any number of users.

Users submit an application to vote remotely through a government-controlled site and confirm it by receiving a SMS with code. It is obvious that government is able to submit such an application to its own server without bothering the real user.

The users vote remotely and confirm their identity by providing a code from SMS (again) and the government can just look at the code on the server. It isn't important what cryptography is used there. You don't need to guess random numbers when you have root access to the server.

The observers are supposed to see a tape where some hashes will be printed when someone votes. Maybe they will be allowed to see the registry of voters who chose to vote remotely, maybe they will not be allowed.

I cannot prove this, and this is my personal opinion, so you shouldn't believe me, but I think the government wants an opaque procedure to produce legitimate looking election results with desired outcome. With paper voting, there are too many points of failure: it is difficult to throw the ballots in the box when there is a vigilant observer. Remote voting doesn't have such flaws.

If there was a fraud, it would be difficult to explain to a non-programmer. They don't understand anything, they just see how the program says "hash doesn't match". But maybe it is just a program written by foreign agents (and stored on foreign "Github" servers) producing fake results. For comparison, with paper voting anyone can understand that there is a fraud if you show them the video.

Also, the government party is slowly losing its rating and starts losing regional elections. Remote voting might be a cure for this undesired situation.

And probably any other government (for example Estonian) that implements such an opaque system has similar aims.

IPC "Instructions per cycle" is also "instructions per clock" - it's right there in the name "per clock" - it's a measure of architectural efficiency independent of clock speed.

Why JavaScript Deserves More Love Than Hate
I totally agree, to me tragedy and misery are not some contest to be won, the most we can do is learn from tragedy.

Especially the last cited paragraph by Solzhenitsyn: he finds the lesson (or Truth) he learned so valuable, it justified his experience! Why not just send a donation to the Party then? (sarcasm)

The article explicitly rejects the utility of logic in discovering our true norms, desires, ... :

>Great novels test ideas not by their logical coherence, as in academic philosophy, but by the consequences of believing them.

But the whole point of atheism, science and philosophy is to not blindly accept statements for fact, but to only view them as justified by evidence or proof.

Solzhenitsyn laments his blind participation in the system, so if anything it seems to me like moving towards a provable and individually verifiable society could improve things. (and indeed many people dream of applying the non-energy intensive decentralized concensus algorithms to constructing such a provable society)
> Is there some sort of automated system that goes through the design files they are sent looking for areas of silicon that may contain infringing IP blocks?

I'm going to venture a solid guess that no such system exists in America simply because possessing the IP to match potentially infringing IP against would be problematic for the companies it's designed to protect.

Intel: "Hey GlobalFoundries, you're not one of our suppliers but here's the schematic for our latest chip. Please make sure nobody takes it!"

And I can all but GUARANTEE that doesn't exist in China. Unless of course it's to pick up any IP they might have missed when they stole it the first time.

If I remember correctly, some time ago I saw a video from someone who managed to build a substantial part of SM64 as a native executable and was able to verify that tool-assisted runs ran perfectly on in it (hence it being accurate). The video displayed the game as a wireframe and had no audio, since those parts are surely tied to the N64 hardware.

I can not figure out the right keywords to find it again, but you may be able to if you are interested.

EDIT: Even though I can't find the video anywhere (I promise it existed!), from https://warosu.org/vr/thread/5644072

According to C99, section 7.1.3:

If the program declares or defines an identifier in a context in
which it is reserved (other than as allowed by 7.1.4), or defines
a reserved identifier as a macro name, the behavior is undefined.

It doesn't matter what the macro would expand to; simply defining the reserved identifier as a macro triggers undefined behavior. That doesn't mean it won't work, for some specific combination of standard headers, compiler, and program source code. It just isn't a strictly conforming program. A conforming implementation is allowed to flag this as an error, ignore the definition, or simply generate nonsense output.
You don't have the mature bindings to things like TensorFlow or Torch, you don't have good viz libraries, you don't have broad support for the types of analysis scipy allows, and beyond Weka and random stuff like XGBoost having Java bindings, you don't have access to a lot of different models.

That said, Clojure is _much_ better than both Python and R for data prep. You can build very nice, fast (parallel) pipelines with transducers etc, and stuff that seems like magic to tidyverse consumers in R is just everyday data transformation in Clojure. And despite the fact that Incanter more or less died, I still think the language would be a great fit for data science if the community was there, and Dragan's work really deserves that sort of attention. The foundations are already far superior to what's available in R and Python (e.g. you are doing stuff on the GPU on day one, you can do bayesian analyses in some cases thousands of times faster than Stan etc).

Yes, but which nations are actually full of poor doing that? And is the available food waste for consumption really a good and valid indicator of relative poverty?

> On a separate note, SolarCity stopped innovating after it was acquired

You're conflating innovation with sales.

SolarCity was a financing business more than they were a product company.

They were selling financing of solar generation via Power Purchase Agreements. Installation and equipment manufacturing was largely outsourced.

That was a business model innovation and for a while it worked splendidly, which is why SolarCity became no 1 installer of solar in US.

But the model stopped working which is why Tesla had to restructure the whole business. That's why their sales dropped: they stopped doing what they were doing.

Acquisition happened at end of 2016.

Just in recent weeks Tesla launched a "rent solar" scheme. It remains to be seen how it'll do in the marketplace, but it's a business model innovation comparable to original SolarCity innovation.

They are also working on Solar Roof - another huge innovation with great potential.

And if we're charitable, we can also throw the energy storage business in the same bucket: powerwall, powerpacks, megapacks. Winning high-profile installations and growing business at 100% YoY.

Hardly a company that stopped innovating.

Supermarkets are going to target "cheap and good enough", in general. An industrial-scale factory can control for a lot of those external factors - it's a lot more likely to have humidity and temperature control, automation that ensures precise timings and measurements, etc.

How often do you think most concrete structures (with only minor cracking like in the article) undergo serious rehab? Maybe once in their service life.

Also, when planners are choosing between alternatives, net present value (NPV) is calculated which takes into account predictable maintenance, so the cost of future repairs is already considered in these decisions.

Civil engineering is also not computer engineering. There is no agile development and you have to get it right the first time. The industry as a whole is not quick to adopt new technologies without seeing them proven in the field relatively thoroughly.
