There is obviously a threshold, that where the unsprung part of the transmission is heavier than the motor itself. That's why brakes are in the wheel and not inboard working through the axle (which would have to be massively beefed up to handle the enormous braking power). Do they reach that threshold? Probably not, but it's worth noting that they are getting closer and that as a consequence application-specific preference shifts.
> During the 1992 World Series of Poker, Ungar faced off against 1990 World Champion Mansour Matloubi in a series of $50,000 buy-in no limit hold'em heads-up freezeout events. On the final hand of the game, Matloubi tried to bluff Ungar all-in for $32,000 on the river with a board of 3-3-7-K-Q. Ungar, who held 10-9, thought for a few seconds and said to Matloubi, "You have 4-5 or 5-6 so I'm gonna call you with this" and flipped over his 10-high to win the pot and bust Matloubi, who in fact held 4-5 offsuit.
It's not about showing you used "the" correct method, but providing evidence that your answer is right. Without working it's impossible to verify the answer is correct without doing the whole thing again. For anything that actually matters, it needs to be checkable by other people, and quite likely a computer will handle the fiddly numerical details, so the working steps may well be the only part that matters (they give you a way to tell the computer what to calculate).

Oh I'm sure the myth will persist for many years.
This will not help (enough). There is a problem with regards to other EU regulation regarding warranty. Suppose my appliance breaks down after three years. The seller should organise the repair and pay a major part of the cost (function of the expected lifetime). That's EU law. However: they can choose the repair company. Large firms insource this, thus being able to set repair prices. Then this law is moot. Once I turn over my broken appliance for repair, I have to pay a fee to get it back unrepaired. So market forces cannot play since the price setting of repairs is broken. Nice that some appliances get better repairability, but this only works after the expected lifetime of the appliance. Within the expected lifetime you are still stuck with inflated repair prices.

Edit: see below. This is partially false. In the Netherlands this problem exists since they've implemented a broader warranty (2 years plus depreciation over expected lifetime) than the EU mandates. EU wide is just 2 years warranty and this law facilitates repairs afterwards.
Learning arrays of arrays from Perl is easy https://perldoc.perl.org/perldsc.html
If a language allows you:

- to map cleanly with what compilers know to optimize best

- fine control over stack and heap allocation

- has intrinsics / assembly escape hatch

- allows you to specify that pointers don't alias (restrict in C, or default in Fortran)

- gives you prefetching primitives

You will be able to reach hand-tuned Assembly-like performance (and not just C-like performance).

Case in-point, I tuned my own matrix multiplication algorithms in Nim to carefully control register allocations, L1, L2 and L3 cache usage, and vector intrinsics to reach the speed of assembly tuned OpenBLAS and Intel MKL-DNN (no assembly at all):

bench: https://github.com/numforge/laser/blob/c7ddceb0/benchmarks/g...

code: https://github.com/numforge/laser/tree/c7ddceb0/laser/primit...

And matrix multiplication has decades of research and now dedicated hardware (tensor cores, EPU, TPU, NPU, ...) as this is a key algorithm for most numerical workloads.
I do see the point you make, it would be very easy for someone to forget a gasket or not tighten a hose and end up with a flood. But I also believe this is just yet another excuse to try and lock customers out of their right to repair. Something like a microwave has a large capacitor and serious electrocution could occur. However, most appliances like a washer and dryer fridge and stove do not have these giant capacitors and simply by unplugging them one can pretty safely work on them. They could very easily do something like the xbox 360 did which had security stickers that you had to break in order to open your xbox. Pretty obvious that an xbox has been opened. They could do the same with their appliances and just use registered one time screws that break when opened and and only authorize professional repairs will be provided the same screws from the companies. This way the average guy could do it just without the registered screws. If there was a problem resulting in damage the company could verify you had all your registered screws in place or your warranty is void. Furthermore is these companies are so worried about us damaging ourselves then they could very easily provide some documentation on how to properly repair these things without risk. They don't want that. This is nothing but them trying to maximize profits at the cost of the customer and the environment.

I also wonder how many of these readers will finish the books? I didn't see that information presented in the article.
There are a lot of people who feel like the primary goal of what we call the criminal justice system is making the victims feel like criminals are treated poorly enough. While perhaps satisfying to some individuals, it results in high rates of recidivism, which makes society less safe for everyone.

A criminal justice system centered around reform results in a safer and more humane society for everyone.

There was a lot of ifs, mays and hopefullys in that article, but maybe it's just written in a strange way since it does say they have actually found a way to mass produce this thing. It would be great if true.

One of the first questions that popped into my mind was how would this motor with less mass (less structure) handle 5 times the power/mass of traditional electric motors which are already pretty power full and sometimes break from strain.

I mean, washing machines probably aren't worth it because they weigh a lot, but I know as a fact that if you need to get your OnePlus phone repaired it will be shipped by next day courier to a repair centre in Warsaw, then shipped back(I rang them up on Monday, phone was collected on Tuesday, delivered and repaired on Wednesday, shipped back on Thursday, I got it back on Friday - it was incredible). I have also done this with a speaker that broke - a local electronics repair shop wanted £60 just to diagnose the issue, I was driving over to Poland for summer anyway so I took it with me, a local shop there charged me an absolutely ridiculous for Poland 2x50PLN/hour(£10/hour) to fix it + £20 for parts = £40 total. Obviously that completely ignores the cost of driving over, but I was doing it anyway.

I'm just trying to point out that it's not some grand conspiracy to stop people from repairing stuff - here in the West labour is just very very expensive(which means our wages are also very high, so it's hard to complain). In countries where labour is cheap the same repair suddenly makes sense.
In OP’s corner case maybe there is, to have a single GPU API and single shader language across all platforms they support.

This doesn’t apply to commercial software. Even if MoltenVK works flawlessly (I don't have experience with the technology), the only GPU API which does on Windows is Direct3D. For cross-platform stuff you want to support multiple GPU APIs, or you’ll have to spend a lot of money supporting users with broken/missing/nonexistent GL/VK drivers.

Yea, I sort of wonder how important it is to actually eradicate it. Like, how much would it cost to achieve eradication (given the new knowledge of dog transmission) vs. maintaining the current extraordinarily low infection rate indefinitely? Is the latter (on-going) cost cheaper than the interest on the former (one-time) cost? I'm sure this econ analysis has been done, but articles like these rarely mention it.
But, crucially, larger feature set than the likes of CoreML etc. You don't get access to the NPU that way though, at least not on iOS. The only acceleration option there seems to be Metal. Which isn't bad, but also not the most power efficient thing the hardware supports.

Still though, it's the only game in town if you don't want to have insane un-debuggable headaches everywhere you deploy to device. Plus it also supports embedded Linux boards, and pretty much all current TPU-like things available there.

I smashed the glass top of my Kenmore (Frigidaire) stove and I was surprised to discover that the fix was almost trivial once I got part. It was not cheap, admittedly, but at $250 it was still much cheaper than a new stove.

Honestly, that's the one aspect of the Kenmore stuff that really impressed me. There was lots of good information out there on what parts to buy and how to do the fix.

Tough break. I also spoke w/ a Snap Recruiter around the same time as you, and was offered that ridic amount of equity- they were talking about 600k for L5, or over 1m for L6. I felt like this was a huge red flag that their equity was bullshit. And that vesting schedule is an obvious scam. Reading Glassdoor is nothing but stories like this one. Sorry you went through it. None of this surprises me, Snap Leadership seems like nothing but jerks.
What? This doesn't make sense. Obviously you have to show work because you can use the wrong techniques to get the right result otherwise and doing that is bad because you won't know why that won't work elsewhere.

In high school, we had to know how to rapidly solve questions like integrate e^(ax)•cos(bx) for constants a and b (this is one of those easy ones) and we knew the closed form answer and if we'd forgotten, we'd add an imaginary i•sin(bx), integrate the resulting exponential only and then separate real and imaginaries. But whether that's legal is kinda not obvious. It's just letter manipulation to do that.

In a proof, it's for you, so you know you did a legal thing.

It also streamlines their work. Physical controls interfere with the design of the car, making changes and iterations more expensive.

What do you mean? The repair in Poland would also be done by a qualified electrician or a gas technician . It's not the qualification requirement that is pushing the cost up, it's simply that the wages are so much higher. A very very basic £10/hour in the UK is absolutely astronomical for Poland(50PLN/hour is maybe what a senior programmer would make, not an electrician).

Regarding the attractive stock vestments: in my opinion you need to avoid like the plague, anything that makes it hard to walk away from your job at any time.

Good on this person to walk away like that.

For vehicles (cars, planes, etc.) if they can mass-produce at 97-98% efficiency and the power-to-weight ratio they are claiming to achieve (15 kW/kg) then it's still a huge improvement.

One thing I bet it does not include is a requirement to unlock digital devices when support ends (by providing any private keys required to install 3rd party software/operating systems). This would help stop a lot of old devices going to landfill.
As far as I know electric motors have very high theoretical and also practical efficiencies. Something like 95%+ theoretically, not sure about the practical value, but it's most likely higher than diesel (~40%) or gasoline (less than 40%, probably a bit higher than 35%?).

The batteries are the big pain point. A battery that's 50% lighter, has 50% more capacity and costs the same would trigger a technological revolution.

p.s. By the way, the above throwaway comment is also a self-demonstrating example in another way. I wrote it only to make a point regarding the idea that "logical arguments are the only kind of worthwhile communication, talking based on feelings is incorrect/unacceptable". However, this still shows up in a thread about recent news involving RMS. This comment is neither pro or against RMS or the reasons for his resignation(s). I don't believe it will be read as either, but it certainly could be read in that context. Given part of the discussion is about reading the social cues, particularly during an emotionally charged topic of discussion... I do wonder if this is an example of what not to do (strategically)? And, if so, whether that is a good thing or not (normatively). Provided as food for thought, I have not arrived to an answer nor am I engaged in seeking one.
Scott Adams claims that about 30% of people in a society just do not get humour / satire and take things at the first degree, particularly if it reinforces their convictions.

That's true but still you don't need Titan to power two 4k monitors, probably good old 750Ti or even older GPU will be enough. For me it's even easier because my sweet spot is one 1440p display (that's where I work most efficiently) so anything will be good enough for me.
As I explained, that is wrong. You would need a different type, let's call it read-only-slice,to support that.

To make the problem more explicit, let's say you have

func baz(bars []Bar) {
bars[0] = nil
}

type Foo struct {}

baz(make([]Foo, 5))

In this case, the program would fail at runtime, as you can't store a nil in a slice of Foos. The baz() function is perfectly correct in itself, if you passed an array of Bars it would work perfectly.
Maybe they agree with him or believe that one should be allowed to hold even controversial opinions, is this too far-fetched?
