I guess the key here is, that Tesla knows that that OSM isn't "trustworthy"[1] and consequently treats the map information as it should be: just as the source for the routing algorithm. So it uses the maps as the basis on how to get from A to B, but the actual driving is based on the sensors, not trusting the maps. So the worst case of false mapping information would be of trapping the car in a place where it doesn't know how to get to its destination.

[1] Due to its open collaborative nature, there is an obvious risk for bad or even malicious edits submitted to OSM. On the other side, "professional" and closed mapping services can have errors too, especially they run the risk of being outdated, so shouldn't completely be trusted either. Due to the community efforts, overally the OSM data should be better maintained and errors can be fixed resulting in better map quality. But the big thing is, that you cannot trust any map data 100% - and if only it has been invalidated by a tree falling onto the road.
That situation could not occur, for several reasons:
- You do not want other human to do that to you, so you do not do that to them. This is the same reason why murder is frowned upon in societies
- Humans are animal, and you have a natural empathy towards other human beings. In addition, there would be sexual appetite for the captive, people falling in love etc. which would lead to very problematic situation
- Humans seem very dangerous and inefficient to raise for food, they could rebel, and it takes foverer to get from a baby to an adult (comparing to a chicken for instance).

I'm pretty sure we would not farm cows if cows were as intelligent and threatening as us and took 15 years to become adult, we would just exterminate them because they would be a threat, or make a peace treaty, just like human societies do.
This particular problem (number of digits in a number) is actually monumentally important for performance reasons for e.g. json generation. See https://m.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/three-opti... for details.

That said, I do agree that as stated the problem is a toy. The problem statement could at least motivate the lack of string operations - i.e. pretend you’re the language designer and you’re tasked with implementing str(int) in C. Just saying “don’t do that” isn’t helpful. Gaining an understanding that nothing is magical is useful though.
One fun enhancement to this is to avoid the n^2 cost it faces with large integers.

def digit_length(n):
totlen = 0
n += not n
while n > 0:
klen = 1
k = 10
while n > k * k:
k = k * k
klen *= 2
n = n // k
totlen += klen
return totlen
There's a more elusive issue in translating English into Japanese that's often overlooked: the two languages have very different "axes" of freedom. One of such examples is honorifics. Japanese has a massive variety of words in different politeness, and it's very common for Japanese novels to exploit its freedom. But English has little varity in it, so this freedom is often not utilized in a translated Japanese. Another type of freedom is the creative use of Chinese characters. On the other hand, Japanese has almost no concept of rhymes (because its phonetics is not based on syllables), so it's very hard to convey the feel of rhyming in Japanese text (as a native Japanese guy, I still don't quite get it either). I don't think these "axes" are comparable in one way or another, and it probably adds another layer of difficulty.

Most of the web browsing happens on mobile devices where Chrome has a staggering 5B+ installs (though possibly not all active) vs Firefox's 100M+. Chrome on mobile never did support extensions let alone content blockers.

The manifest v3 offensive is meek compared to their hegemony already on display in the Android world which has 2B+ active users that almost exclusively use Chrome.

I see an anti-trust case in here somewhere or for Mozilla to simply buckle up and sign deals with OEMs that makes them the default browser and webview on Android.

If everyone in the world becomes vegan, what exactly do you think is going to happen to all of those domesticated cows, sheep, and chickens? Are people going to continue raising them as pets in the same quantities, out of the goodness of their hearts? Of course not -- they would basically go extinct.

I think that on the whole, I think that having a reasonably comfortable and safe life and then being humanely slaughtered for food is better than not existing at all. So while I'm definitely ethically against "industrial" meat production that treats live animals like meat-generating machines, I think that raising animals in reasonable living conditions before killing them to eat is perfectly ethical.

(Whether we have the resources to raise them is a different question; I'm resigned to the fact that eventually we'll all be on plant-based diets for planet sustainability reasons.)

The industry has a lot more experience at making reliable ICE drivetrains, which helps to offset the increased complexity. After another decade or two they should be able to make the same reliability gains for electric ones.

It may also be the case that everything is reliable enough for that to no longer be a significant differentiator between brands, and development money will be spent elsewhere.
While searching for another source to verify this fact, I learnt from wikipedia that Formica polyctena ants are near threatened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formica_polyctena

Given that ants make 20% of the entire animal biomass on land (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_e0CA_nhaE), it didn't cross my mind that subspecies could go to extinction ^^

>even white racists don't tend to think white people are all great.

You are so committed to this modern liberal partisan revisionist historiography that you are willing to admit the narrative doesn't make any sense, and yet equally willing to keep at it. That's commitment.

Irish, Italians, russians, and other "inferior" whites were always considered white. "White" has never and will never be the barrier to entry into this country or into the american hierarchy. Looks, charm, stature, sharpness of mind, focus on meaningful pursuits like work, not being too interested in "meaningless pursuits" like art and music. Not being promiscuous, no criminality, no epilepsy, no "feeble-mindedness" or imbecility. This is what race was about. Virginia aristocracy, the Boston Brahmins etc, were spurred on by the leading science and technology of the day, to believe these attributes were genetically inherited and "selected" by nature, which meant they could also be selected with Mendelism. We were not interested in a "white race." Since race was something you could control, we were interested in a "superior american germplasm" a genepool of the best of the best while the rest were sterilized, aborted, deported, or imprisoned in jails, asylums, or reservations. American eugenicists were interested in "building a race." A concept Hitler adopted and was quoted talking about fairly often.

Racism was not white vs black. Its nowhere near that simple

This is a reinvention of "moral rights / droit moral" which are already a thing in some jurisdictions.

But it won't help, because the exact problem is the claim to ownership! If your video is demonetised because of copyright infringement, then youtube is asserting that it's not your video anyway; because you included 30 seconds of incidental music or whatever, the video actually belongs to Sony or Universal.

This can only really be fixed by putting the question in front of a court, and the minimum cost of that is far more than either party is willing to pay.

And that's a fine style to have - as long as they're not left behind when you commit them. Go is a bit painful in this regard, but it's targeted at maintainability by large teams over a long period of time, sacrificing local developer ergonomics in the process.

Actually, most of the problems we had were fundamental design flaws e.g. a Toyota my wife had where the instruments (speedometer etc.) started cutting out occasionally - problem was tracked back to, of all things, the sunroof! There was a small leak and the electrical connectors for the instruments were in the bottom of the passenger foot-well - where the water was collecting from the sunroof and shorting things out.

Similarly I had a VW that was prone to flooding the interior due to poor design of the battery compartment - if the drain hole from the battery compartment was blocked it would overflow into the interior of the car (we're in Scotland so problems inevitably involved water).

Edit: To anyone asking why we bought a car in Scotland with a sunroof, I do wonder and we'd never do it again!

Even if they don't, 10-15% performance gain for double the price seems questionable. If you include the specialized motherboard, chillers, high speed ram even more so. Maybe in some very specific scenarios it would work like some VR prototype or flight sim, but for majority of users it doesn't make economic sense.
I think it is a fallacy that EVs are simpler. You have just moved mechanical regulators to software so the complexity is hidden. I.e. instead of a timing belt you have an inverter etc. Instead of a water pump driven by a belt you habe an electrical pump cooling the batteries and motor.
It's the not the nurture of the thing but the nature of the thing. It's not that the animal was raised to be slaughtered, but that it was "made" to be slaughtered, if you choose to believe that.

If I had to try to explain it, I think it's either people have internalized hierarchies about nature "hard wired" intuitively and/or also passed down by culture, where animals like livestock are "meant" to be food. I don't know nearly enough about anything to speculate on which if either is the case.

I'm not stating that as fact, or that it's a good thing, only that's what I've observed. Humanity seems to be predisposed to this kind of "you're made to do this", and it's definitely not always good or ethical.

But I don't think that it's "inconsistent", if that's what you believe. Unethical, maybe, but not inconsistent.
It's not just the engine and trans that can have problems though, there's a whole car full of electromechanical gadgets and weather seals and sensors and nice finishes to worry about. That all still has to be got right too.

Oh definately, I wonder why these giants cannot replicate the Tesla PR?

This is probably Tesla's strongest point, having a problem with the product you paind for and not having personalized response makes you feel powerless while response from someone who seems to understand the problem and the issues it creates is a such a huge difference even if the issue is not resolved. I always forgive companies that did sloppy job but cared enough to appologise and explain why it happend. You don't have to have a celebrity CEO to do that.

My three favourite words in the title at the same time?
There is no moral inconsistency here. Your (vegan) moral beliefs have different axioms than (dare I say) real "gut" human morals. Put simply the vegan axiom is "A life is a life." vs the gut axiom which is "A closer life is more valuable".

This is why people, for example, would risk their life to rescue a cat stuck in a tree[0]. Because it's there. You can see it. The cow that's in my burger is not in my proximity, so my morals are intact. For this reason most people wouldn't find it easy at all to slaughter a cow, or even watch it being slaughtered. Because it's close.

One might think that this is irrational/bad but this, like any argument about axioms, is a matter of taste rather than logic. However, I'd venture off saying that most everyone holds the "gut" morals, including "vegans", which if anything makes the latter group inconsistent. For example: A vegan would probably fumigate their house if it had pests (even though their lives are equal to any other and all death could be avoided if one just moved house), or give a kidney to a dying family member before giving it to a dying stranger. Or to a dying dog (if that were possible). Or consider this moral conundrum: You must chose between (a) manually killing a single child yourself, or (b) press a button that will kill a 1000 people far away. (I used "child" as this is another "gut" moral axiom: The younger the life, the more valuable it is). Option (a) is aligned with "a life is a life" because 1000>1, but not only would most people chose (b), but I would be extremely uncomfortable with anyone that would actually be able to chose (a) as they would seem to be a sociopath.

Mpemba effect – Hot water freezes faster
> I am grateful to my ancestors and countrymen for their self-sacrifice

I say "constructed identity", you say "I am grateful". If you twist my words to call them insane, that in itself says a lot about the security of your beliefs.

I have that gratitude, too, and I'm grateful to even more people who aren't my ancestors or countrymen. So why make that distinction? It's like saying "I'm grateful to the people with blue t-shirts who showed me kindness in life".
Is it supposed to be an independent variable? Seems given that people who can run are already over the hump by default.
Humans and animals are not equal. It's simple as that.

According to our laws humans have some rights by just being a human. Some animals have rights only because humans like them. Cockroaches have no rights because humans don't like them. Bear which killed human have no rights and will be killed to prevent more deaths, because humans don't like him. Cute kitten have a lot of rights because people like him and will be angry if they find out that someone tortures that cute kitten. Nobody will be angry if some kid tortures cockroach. It'll be disgusting, but that's about it.
Apple/Safari adopted pretty much the same architecture on Ad Blockers. Maybe just maybe the conspiracy theories are all wrong, and there was actually a legitimate, technical reason for choosing a restricted API.
This problem is a funny one for me and gives me real nostalgia, back to about ten years ago when I was learning to program.

I'd just picked up python and was having so much fun going through the project Euler problems.

I can't remember which question it was for but we had to know the length of an integer. At that point I hadn't learnt about type conversion so had to implement it the way the author wants his students to do it.

I remember fondly as well that I hadn't learnt about the modulo operator and had to implement that by myself as well.

I couldn't believe it when I got the answer and progressed to the forum where others shared their answers and they were doing it on one line with %!

Good times!
You'd have to know how much memory and cpu was being used vs the other solutions. They're all very close in terms of the key metric, but if Rust is using 50% of the memory, then its not much of a competition. Also, what sort of vm tuning, etc.
hopefully there will be a lot more similar filings , because this is not even in phase 1
I could cherry pick examples from around the country to show exactly the opposite. There's a great Quora answer on this phenomenon, "Why do so many Europeans look down on 'American Cheese'?": https://qr.ae/TWJAc9
Also as a result, even the proposed solution is wrong for certain cases, takes longer, and doesn't convey what it's achieving as elegantly as `len(str(n))`. Because the length of the string representation is - exactly - what is being asked here.

I get that sometimes the simplest solution to a problem is not teaching the right stuff, but in almost all cases that is a fault in the problem, not the solution.
I would just take it for what it is. The sample is not that small, and there can be more things included, like people who run do other things beneficial for their health. Even so, if somebody smokes and starts running, they might quit smoking because they want a better breathing pattern and it obstructs them while running. So might that be attributed to running? Dunno, I'm not an expert. But I would write this thing off.

I would also like to see data on walking. For example people who walk regularly more than x kilometers daily (those who go to work by foot) and so on. Do other activities like the elliptical have the same benefit? I shouldn't run for any prolonged period because of ankle issues, but I can happily ride the elliptical for 30-45 minutes. I suppose the answer is yes...

The posted title elevates the claims over the original article:

HK title (at time of posting):

Ignoring the fact that the post title erroneously removed "HIV" it also made it misleading with the "cure" claim. Even the company themselves claim less than the title:

> we think our project may be able to do that.

So, yes, exciting drug trial. But let's hold off on proclaiming this has "cured" HIV/Aids until we're there.

I'm not vegan, but that's absurd. Right now we spend an inordinate amount of land on the relative monocultures of raising these animals, consuming vegetable matter is generally more efficient when it comes to land use.

So we'd have fewer chickens, but we'd have more land left to the wilderness. I don't really care about the interest of 100 chickens somewhere, but purely from a conservation point of view veganism is one of the worthwhile things we can be doing. Those animals are taking up land that we can replace with a more varied ecology.

But these species are never going to become extinct, we won't have 100% veganism, and some of them will still be raised even if they're not being eaten. E.g. chickens are very useful for pest control and to dispose of food waste.

I'm inclined to agree. I've lived in Japan (5 years), in San Francisco (6 years), and now live in Germany. The food quality goes Europe -> Japan -> USA, with a sharp drop between Japan and the USA.

I'm currently living in Leipzig, which still has bombed-out looking empty buildings from the time of the Iron Curtain (although things have finally been picking up over the past few years). And yet even here the infrastructure is better than in San Francisco or any other part of the USA I've visited. I'm originally from Canada, and I'm sad to say that, although some things are better than the USA (like the roads and the trash), it's not by much, and it's still terrible compared to the rest of the first world.
