Isn't it better to keep the heat trapped inside the system and generate electricity from the pressure only?

Steam engines are old technology. They've been replaced by modern steam turbines, in which the steam is either cooled and recirculated, or used for other processes, or both.

Geothermal steam turbines typically use a heat exchanger and release the original steam, as geothermal steam tends to be very corrosive.

Remote iPhone Exploitation Part 3: Gaining Code Execution
Because their research is not important. If it were, academia would pay more, and have better working conditions. If it were, immigration to the US would be easier[1].

That everyone is wringing their hands over this issue today is quite telling. The people doing it aren't interested in advancing research - they are interested in using public money to make privately capitalizable discoveries.

If a single penny of public money was used in research, the results should be public. At that point, it doesn't matter whether or not that research ended up going to China.

[1] Yes, it's possible for researchers to immigrate to the US. But it's not exactly easy. It's a mountain of beurocracy, stress, legal fees, arbitrary restrictions on travel, and a big drain on your time. Combine that with all the other costs of permanently moving to another country, and you shouldn't be surprised that a lot of people opt not to do it.
I'm not saying I believe it, but the mantle does contain natural hydrocarbons and it's not just "rock" - it's a very slow moving liquid under immense temperatures and pressures. Who knows what kinds of reactions might happen on mantle-crust (or other) boundaries.
Honestly, price to sales alone is a joke of a metric for a growing business. Tesla revenue will likely double within the next 24 months (with quarterly trends clearly showing that towards the end of the year). That would put them at 1.9 P/S at that point with more products on the way.

P/S only works well when the situation is relatively static.

this is still the main issue to me. I read NTSB crash reports, I read other tech companies post-mortems, I watched Chernobyl, I've worked in devops for a decade. I don't believe that "we" (humanity) have even come close to solving for the long term reliability of systems to build/run thousands of nuclear reactors (what it would take to fight climate change using nuclear) without 1 - 10 of them being disasters.

Then on top of that, I even moreso don't believe we can build a stable society long enough to oversee and manage long term waste. We can't figure out how to handle two-generation problems well yet, taking the risk on a 10 generation problem seems to just completely fail to address reality.

There's no such thing as "no code". There's just interfaces which are more-or-less capable, and more-or-less intuitive. Any time you define a set of instructions for a computer to execute, you are creating code.

We use Scratch at my Girls Who Code club. It requires students to consider branching paths, and data types, and asynchronous execution. It does not require the students to type, but thank god for that, because they're 9 years old and type at approximately 1 words per minute.

Scratch is still code just like Java, and Lego Mindstorm's EV3, and Automator, and IFTTT. Not all of these systems are Turing complete, and each one contains different restrictions in an attempt to stop users from shooting themselves in the foot: Java doesn't have manual memory management, Automator doesn't have conditionals, and IFTTT is limited to a single trigger and action. But there're still code. Users of these tools need to carefully consider input and edge cases, and test and iterate to see if the code is doing what they intended.

IMO, the primary reason "professional programmers" type their code is because once you know what to type, keyboards are fundamentally faster than mice. That's also why Excel power users frequently rely almost entirely on keyboard shortcuts, and why the command line for an experienced user is often faster than a GUI.

---

Edit: BTW, for the same reason that HTML isn't a programming language, I don't consider most "website builders" to be code, even though I do consider IFTTT to be code.

Code in this context means creating instructions for a computer to follow. Laying out elements on a page (which then adapt to different screen sizes based on predefined behavior) is just that, laying out elements.

I don't know about you, but I can feel myself entering a "coding mindset" when I load up IFTTT—it's simpler than writing Javascript to be sure, but it's the same type of brain muscle, and there's no avoiding it.
And 5 if not 9 out of that Fortune 10' NoSQL dbs were just tied with a duck tape ('Our frontend team needs something they could understand - Ah okay then') to the mainframe with a previous generation of NoSQL - like ADABAS, IMS or z/TPF - and a ton of COBOL code where all the work is done since forever.

Model X owner for 1.5 years.

I had one issue soon after delivery, the passenger-side mirror didn't adjust properly when it had been sitting out in the sun. Tesla sent a guy to my house to replace it under warranty. Took him about an hour and no cost to me.

Last year I thought I had a serious issue that turned out to just be a (very) poorly documented software limitation that I was unlucky enough to run into. The private street my building was on was on a navigation blacklist for some reason, which caused issues when navigating to or from that street. The service center staff knew this blacklist existed but had never heard of it actually affecting anyone.

Anyway, I started setting destination to the corner before I turned onto that street, and not starting navigation when I was leaving work until after I turned off the street, and everything was fine. Mildly annoying but I was relieved that it wasn't actually an issue with the car.
The creator of the AI still needs to eat. Your suggesting that AI developers should effectively have none of the existing legal protections for software and other creative works.

This is a much bigger issue. Research has been distorted by irrelevant bureaucratic productivity metrics. So the illusion of regular activity is rewarded, while anyone who takes ten years to explore a truly original ground-breaking idea is punished and excluded.

The photos were square, and there were filters. Those features made things look cute.

Also getting a photo from your phone camera lens to the internet was often a multi-step process at that time. Instagram was two clicks and on your feed.

And the sharing model (all photos pushed to every follower) made people try a little harder on the images. That made it popular among amateur photographers. The profile model (grid of photos) also encouraged some level of vanity.

People discovered it by being invited by friends who like cataloging pretty things.

It's not so much that you're preparing for 7 separate cases, as a thing that works in one place and almost, but not quite, fits in 6 others. You rarely exactly duplicate code, but often duplicate and modify.

By the time you hit 7, you do clearly Need It. But now you've got 7 cases to work from in writing the generalization. When the number is 2, it's often reasonable to say, "I don't know how these will evolve and I'll probably guess wrong".

All objects used by the Lisp are instances of classes from the class library, ie that stuff in class/ folder.

These instances are ref counted objects, as they are derefed and they drop to 0 refs they get deinited and freed.

The Lisp is constructed from these, for example Lists in the Lisp are an instance of the class/vector, numbers are an instance of class/num, the environment is a chain of class/hmap etc.

So yes, you do have GC if you don't make cycles, and you do have to care about not doing that just as you would in C++.

> But you went to Georgia Tech. Most schools with athletics programs are not Georgia Tech.

I don't have a quick summary of all the financials of all the schools in the country and whether athletics is a net positive/negative. I did find a datasource which could at least guide the discussion. [1] An anecdote doesn't prove the rule - but can help make a case that "it can be done".

Iowa, Iowa State, and University of Northern Iowa are ranked 18, 47, and 142 respectively out of 230 programs listed. Georgia Tech is #42. The three Iowa universities, each in different divisions with vastly different TV revenue share agreements, represent 2.3% of total revenue on the list.

Now, all three have "Student Fees" listed as a portion of their funding. I'm not certain how these are assessed and how it works per the rules the Iowa Board of Regents (governing body) set. The total of student fees is 4.75M out of 245M in revenue. The only university where it'd be a real game changer would be UNI (2M out of 20M revenue).

It's an issue with all frame less car doors. Last year I read some car blogs and many people apply a silicone layer that makes freezing much harder. Between that and pre warming the car, I haven't had freezing issues. Also, if the door handles freeze up, a small tap with the palm of your hand does the trick.

There are ancient design decisions regarding exclusive locks. Early on, while it was a bus, it just used a signal for "locked" (~a mutex), and later this physical broadcast had to go because the interconnect switched to a fabric of point-to-point SerDes links.

The remote atomics are a GPU-independent feature on the SMP interconnect. The GPU thing is mostly icing on the cake, by exposing this feature to NVLink GPUs (iirc. Volta+, maybe Pascal+).
Sometimes it feels like a lot of the attempts to find themes and trends in terms of what makes startups successful are very much in hindsight. I'm not saying you can't tune your vision to some degree to identify strong startups, but it seems like a lot of the time people are looking at successful/strong founders and then identifying any of the traits they have as markers of success. I guess there is a pattern though? There's a reason successful VCs continue to succeed and aren't just one hit wonders..
In my experience, daily scrums are without value. A well-functioning team already knows what everyone else is working on, what problems they're having, and etc.

If a team isn't well-functioning, then daily scrums could have some value -- but I think a better approach would be to fix the team.
> I can't think of a way to deploy code right now that lets you completely avoid issues with systems that you require but are possibly unfamiliar with, except maybe "serverless" functions.

This is basically the same comment I was going to write, so I'll just jump onto it. But whenever I hear people complain about how complex XXX solution is for deployment, I always think, "ok, I agree that it sucks, but what's the alternative?"

Deploying something right now with all of its ancillary services is a chore, no matter how you do it. K8s is a pain in the ass to set up, I agree. But it seems to maintain itself the best once it is running. And longterm maintainability cannot be overlooked when considering deployment solutions.

When I look out in the sea of deployment services and options that exist right now, each option has its own tradeoffs. Another service might elimite or minimize anothers' tradeoffs, but it then introduces its' own tradeoffs. You are trading one evil for another. And this makes it nearly impossible to say "X solution is the best deployment solution in 2020". Do you value scalability? Speed? Cost? Ease of learning? There are different solutions to optimize each of these schools of thought, but it ultimately comes down to what you value most, and another developer isn't going to value things in the same way, so for them, another solution is better.

The only drop-dead simple, fast, scalable, deployment solution I have seen right now is static site hosting on tools like Netlify or AWS Amplify (among others). But these only work for static generated sites, which were already pretty easy to deploy, and they are not an option for most sites outside of marketing sites, landing pages, and blogs. They aren't going to work for service based sites, nor will they likely replace something being deployed with K8s right now. So they are almost moot in this argument, but I bring it up, because they are arguably, the only "best deployment solution" right now if you are building a site that can meet its' narrow criteria.
I was thinking that China will likely make the next announcement to follow this.

And likely complete it before Toyota.
> The upside is whatever Ford or GM is now...and they are worth more than that.

I like Tesla as a car company and agree with this sentiment as an investor. There's a reason that I sold my shares, and also a reason that I never had very many. :)

Having said that, I'd like to add Toyota and BMW to your list of comps. BMW in particular demonstrates that there may be at least some potential for upside, IMO.
> Most companies are dictatorships.

That's an interesting conclusion. I guess one big difference is that in most places you have a choice in whether or not to work for a company, but you don't have this choice when being born in a dictatorship, unless you consider migrating elsewhere a reasonable choice. It seems there are also less good choices when considering where to work (i.e. they're all becoming dictatorships?).

It's also as bad when you consider paying or using a free service provided by a dictatorship company. Do we really have a choice anymore? You may not choose email provider X, but all your friends use X so in the end it doesn't matter, e.g. in terms of data privacy. You may not choose social network Y, but all your friends have so you're forced to participate in the dictatorship, e.g. if you want to have a normal life.

More. Normally burning a trillion dollars would have taken about a trillion off the market cap, so if it held steady that means a trillion dollar gain somewhere else.
That would be a problem, but would be a data licensing issue, which is distinct. It's more analogous to "Blurred Lines" infringing on "Got To Give It Up" or w/e.

I recently had the frustration of trying to use a Vodafone ISP Supplied modem. It had a propietary interface which didn't allow using the modem as a bridge to a network not on a vlan. Along with the help of the awesome team at hack-technicolor we managed to find a command execution exploit in the dyndns updater which allowed us to free the Vodafone UltraHub Technicolor DGA0130VDF modem along with others. The device is a cool box running a Dual Core Broadcom 400MHz CPU with 256MB DDR3 RAM it's a DSL/WAN router with ADSL/VDSL, Wi-Fi 11b/g/n/ac 5GHz/2.4GHz, And SIP support for two phones. Also now a working WAN port to a non-vodafone gateway. The device was running openwrt; We also figured out how to keep persistance on the device after a firmware update to an unexploitable version meaning you can even have SSH running on the latest kernel from Vodafone too. In all had a great time working on this box and feels awesome to free an otherwise awesome device from the trash-heap!

>but config is code, not data.

Config is both. Config variables are data. The code that accesses and uses those variables is...well...code. they should be kept separate. Like any other code and data. Config isn't a separate special entity, it's just another part of the program. The data part should be represented as such and the code part should be code. Trying to combine them and create a special 'config' language is mistake.
