For a company breaking new grounds and pushing EVs, I would give them at least another 10 years. It is not ideal, but you have to take into account that it takes time to build your network (charging/service centers etc.). That's why if the money comes, the rest will fall into place (in time of course!).
I am under the understanding that the largest wealth transfer the world has ever seen was the various flavours of colonialism that have been practiced over the past few centuries. We are the beneficiaries of this sort of thing, and yet, we have forgotten all about it...

Incidentally, would you consider someone getting paid 1/10th what an American worker would need to get paid, to make a widget, to be wealth transfer? In which direction? To me, it seems to be a wealth transfer from the person employed in the sweatshop, to the west. [1] We have been enjoying the benefits of this sort of wealth transfer for the past four decades. I must say, hundreds of millions of people giving you their labour for next to nothing, for decades, dwarfs whatever impact IP has in, ah, transferring wealth.

[1] For some odd reason, a large number of modern politicians think that it is a wealth transfer in the other direction. I'm not sure they understand, or appreciate the fact that people on the other side of the world are willing to work for us, nearly for free.

Edit: Cleaned up the language.
nah. this is more like art.

> A quarter of commuters drive alone.

That's really low compared to NA where even in a metro area I'd guess it's at least 50%.
Either way it's a story about the short term spike since roughly a month ago. The price movement is not in line with the broader market or all tech stocks. It's well above it.
Sure, it's lower, but it's hardly "non-existent."
My coworkers at every new place I work at make jokes at me for doing this, but I usually identify reference code I can print off right away.

For instance, once you finish a feature or task, identify the most important bits that happen. Create a gist of it on github.com, then promptly print it. It needs to fit on one or two pages at most, delete stuff that's not relevant. Likewise, if you have to learn their styling guidelines and naming, print off the most important parts.

Stuck on javascript concepts? Print the parts you struggle on. Stuck on lifecycle methods? Print the diagram. Constantly flipping between jira tickets? Print them.

The reason why this works is because you apply the concepts of space repetition to pick things up quickly. Your forced to chunk the code snippets in print form in a meaningful manner

As time goes on just write reusable code that you can copy later for different parts of the app. You won't need to print anything anymore because its commited to memory.

Also I make small side projects with coding patterns I can copy paste easily too
Davis made a concerted effort to put in bicycle infrastructure, especially near the university, and it has paid off in "not quite horrible" bike modeshare. Lots of towns/cities have big universities. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has a large surface area and tens of thousands of students and that town, at least when I lived there, had pretty bad cycle modeshare once you got away from the immediate campus area.
I'd rather bike in Davis than in Daly City, but it is not a model of a bicycle utopia, which in my mind would separate bicycle, pedestrian, and motor vehicle traffic far more than is done in Davis and would include methods for getting into and around town.

The center of Davis is devoid of bicycle paths outside of some parks that don't actually go anywhere or connect to any other paths. If you're on the south side, you can get downtown fairly easily mostly by bike path (especially from campus), but you won't find any bike paths when you get there (and actually, depending on what you consider downtown, only one path actually makes it all the way there).

So sure, the paths 'count', but I wouldn't even call Davis bicycle-centric. I definitely don't think it's what the original poster has in mind.
Designing and Building Ha Kubernetes on Bare-Metal
The flu can be as gentle as a common cold, but it can also kill you. It doesn’t kill most people or it’d be as vilified as Ebola, but it’s always on the table. And that goes for any weaker immune systems around you. In a world where we’re urged to protect against this and that, this easily falls under an 80/20 sort of benefit. Easy to do, lots of protection society wide for doing so.
> Condo dwellers can basically treat this car just like a gas car with fewer fillup options

The building that I live in is going to run out of physical space for electric meters long before it has issues with electrical capacity. My neighbor opted to forgo having a charger for his Model 3 and instead put one into the garage of his weekend home (he doesn't drive much during the week so he'll be ok).

Given existing equipment on the market now, our building can support maybe 10-15% electric cars. If you are designing a new building, there is no limitation. Our condo board has been searching for a solution and has found some things that are "promising", but nothing that will solve our problem before we run out of space. Again, this is a physical space limitation for the meters, not electrical capacity. And it's a problem where the solution will have to interface with the existing built environment and the existing electrical grid and the existing safety codes, etc. If all you pay attention to are single family homes with garages, you'll never know this is an issue until sales take a nosedive in big cities.
Well, congrats then on chosing to improve your relationship-incompatible behavior.

Unfortunately I don't have The Perfect Advice™, sorry :-)

I would probably do some self-reflection on my job situation. "Am I failing to deliver what is expected?" "Is my daily routine seriously that inefficient?" etc.

Sometimes we want to fix things which are not broken in the first place. YMMV
Microsoft Lisp
And you'll start to see free charging evaporate (or appear in the form of rising rent/HOA fees). Condos can afford to "subsidize" a couple of free spots for a complex, but they're not going to be saying "free electric charging for hundreds of vehicles".
> tilling arable lands and pulping more trees

So you're arguing against using crop land to produce a crop?
I think "declarative" is a bit of a red herring here. Deterministic/reproducible/pure is a more appropriate distinction: configuration languages like JSON/YAML/XML/s-expressions/etc. are trivially deterministic, but not very expressive, leading to boilerplate, repetition, external pre/post-processing scripts, etc.

Allowing computation can alleviate some of those problems, whether it's done "declaratively" (e.g. prolog-like, as in cue) or not (e.g. like idealised algol with memory cells).

The main reason to avoid jumping to something like Python isn't that it's "not declarative"; it's that Python is impure, and hence may give different results on each run (depending on external state, random number generators, etc.). Python can also perform arbitrary external effects, like deleting files, which is another manifestation of impurity that we'd generally like to avoid in config.

tl;dr The problem isn't the style of computation, it's the available primitives. Don't add non-deterministic or externally-visible effects to the language, and it wouldn't really matter to me whether it's "declarative" or not.
you can probably set them to stay open all the time, a luxury vehicle would have the same issue btw.
It's been pointed out by experts in the field of floating marine life[1] [2]. Boyan has not been very co-operative with the scientists raising these concerns.

The current impact is small, but they plan to have loads of these constantly operating - that will cause huge impact.

If they can confirm a reasonable credibility, then yes, they should. Preferably with as much openness about the source as is safely possible.
As far as I know Wikipedia has always maintained that they did not receive the information from russia, but from anonymous internal leaks. While I personally have some doubt about that, I feel it takes more than "personal doubt" to attack a journalistic organization.
I'd argue that those who adopt kubernetes spend way more on ops than those who don't.
Fascinating and thank you. Airmen is a uniquely military term, and entering into Wikipedia immediately brings up an article on Air Force ranks. It is interesting 1). That the FAA uses this term as well and 1). There seems to be an entry input for country. I guess that’s for foreign pilots? Or for US citizens who move abroad?
It strikes me as weird to see no mention of Disney or EPCOT in the article, given how similar the concepts are.

Precedent here would be the Brunner test and its application plus quality of evidence/testimony from the defendant to support the judges decision.

Moving forward, judges can cite this as an example/landmark case without excess research or work in their own decisions. It's a good thing, I think, but definitely not a rubber stamp to discharging loans.
I know of no studies to back this up, but based on anecdotal interactions I strongly believe that some people have an easier time writing off the cuff and others have an easier time speaking. I've known people who could speak in complex sentences but lacked the ability to write without significantly more time, and others who could write on the spot but would trip over their words when speaking. I think you and GP are describing approximately the same method of drafting, and which one works better will be highly dependant upon the individual. I don't think I'm contradicting anything you said, just adding my own thoughts.
I grew up in southern New Hampshire (Nashua). Growing up we had serious blizzards every few years. The first big weather event I remember was† the Blizzard of '78.

I live in southeast Alaska now, where it's a really mild maritime climate. Our winters are typically 30s and 40s, with an occasional dip into the 20s. Yesterday we were in a cold snap at ~15 degrees, and I was texting with my mother who still lives in Nashua. They hit 68 yesterday, which broke the daily record by 7 degrees.

I can hardly imagine the world my 8yo son is growing into.
Can anyone speak to the quality of the articles? Thinking about subscribing using my company’s “education allowance”.

It will make it as much of a mess as any legal document, making it impossible to work with for any sane human not paid to do so.

If you literally cannot guess at a glance how it will work as a programmer, how can you expect a user to do so?

Even this trivial example is rather wrong. People do not think of message passing, synchronization or locks. We generally work on unordered, timesliced but fuzzy logic.

When I press a button, it will immediately light up a red lamp - nothing in this is remotely near to how a machine will implement it. There's no message passing in the transistor that sits on a wire. Immediately does not exist, but you can consider some things "perceptually immediate", putting a hard time bound. Yet our programming does not deal with time explicitly.
Pressing a button means a contact, but it does not say for how long or whether any bounce has to be handled, because we think in terms of stable states when really they don't exist either. Yet there's immutability and hard state everywhere in our programming.

A human will handle a hardware error with a workaround, but software will fail in any unexpected scenario. And there's tons of these. We simplify programming by relying on the intelligence of the operator in many cases, but do not provide guidance. Literally not even whom or where to ask. It's good if the software even attempts to collect error info.
FWIW, in the more senior ranks at Google, 30-40% bonuses are entirely achievable. L7 bonuses start at 25% and go up for good performance.

I don't think it was sarcasm at all; the main bit of rhetorical artistry (beyond merging issues of concern to the same side so that gays and abortion becomes “gay abortions”) is the adoption of first person singular to stand in for third-person plural, which presents the issues distracting the two main factions as affecting a single actor. Replace the second use of “I'm” with “the voters are” and the argument is quite direct.
>many of the most atrocious things committed by the CIA were totally gratuitous not helping one iota to the safety (perceived or real) of the American populace

I'm not entirely sure about that. I believe the CIA has committed atrocities, but I find it difficult to believe that you could not justify every action they took in the name of national security - all the coups of communist / non-Western-aligned nations especially. In fact, almost anything that may harm the federal government (regardless of impact to the general population) can be designated as a matter of national security (perhaps by design).

The point I am making is that it is easy to spin atrocities as necessary undertakings to agents with good intentions, all the way up to the top even (Operation Northwoods for example). Evil people are not necessary to build an evil organization.
I certainly didn't stand in line. The iPhone seemed primitive and lacking to me at the time. And I wasn't alone in spending lots of money on alternative phones.
Here in Connecticut (northeast US) I hit 69 °F yesterday. That's 20.5 °C for all the non-Americans.

As far as I know the statue of limitations has not been reached yet. The reason he investigation was dropped was that Swedish law requires coercive measures to be proportionate, but I have no idea why they decided that it was too much in 2017 specifically. They had been talking about dropping the investigation since 2013.

Basically the Swedish authorities thought that going after him more than they already had would be too much for the level of suspicion and the crime.
To start: not everyone is a company. Not everything is about companies. When people bringing overly complex, mostly useless in this context, tech like kubernetes to a personal environment it's silly. But whatever, it's what they know.

But when they start telling other people to learn kubernetes because it's so useful then it's annoying. And there are lots of people advocating for using kubernetes on small personal projects. When they get pressed they all fall back to the justification, "You should use kubernetes in personal projects to learn kubernetes." which is back to silly again.

That's where these kinds of critical articles come from.
Those kids were killed despite a culture that puts "NEVER GO IN THE STREET" front and center in how children should interact with their built environment. This came as a result of cars killing many, many people - cars that showed up on streets where kids (and adults) had walked for centuries without being run over.

I mean, if I fill the local pool with sharks it is indeed true that shark deaths will fall to 0 pretty quick.

I tend to agree that there is a lot of unimportant and largely unimpressive research going on. Just my anecdotal observation, but try picking a random mid tier university and check out the professors' websites to see what they are working on.
> I was looking at a 180-mile roundtrip commute ... Tesla had two superchargers.

Oof. The last thing I'd want to add to an already horrible commute is a supercharger stop, or more.

Kinda a pain in the ass in a garage.
I also ran into this issue with French specifically, and got frustrated and gave up. Even original language French films/shows seem to have spotty subs (or none at all!) Most of them have English subs, but that's not as helpful for learning. Did you ever find alternatives?

Someone owes me a steak if the thing sending GETs and HEADs (and/or fb303 calls) to any listening port on Facebook machines turns out to be procprint.

Also, we did this debugging. Years ago.
I'll argue that making the MAX behave the same as a non MAX 737 is a reachable and reasonable engineering goal, the process failed because it didnt do it safely.

Airbus absolutely uses its fly-by-wire system to change the handling characteristics of its airplanes, to make them fly the same - I see no reason why Boeing couldn't do the same thing.
Less valuable. What you're missing is that the reason debt is counted is because it is used to buy up assets. In this case, if the cash is entirely burned, it means the value of equity dropped to zero because debt typically has collateral. So the trillion dollars you borrowed would need to be paid back by selling the rest of the company's assets. So in reality, if let's say this trillion dollar debt was super senior and first claimant to assets. It'd drop to the previous market value of the company and the rest of the company's capital structure drops to zero.
I think were talking about 2 different things. Yes, technology is important - but these aren't simple systems - nor are they open source.

In the trading world, as an employer you are disincentived to give the keys to your model - aka your secret sauce - to all your employees. You will reward only a select few who you trust to stay on board, manage the model, continuously improve on it to stay pace with the changing markets. If you give the keys to too many people, eventually they will jump to other shops, copy your ideas and your edge will deteriorate.
VW group is going very heavily for mainstream EVs, seriously ramping up production, and the models don't look like the toy concept EVs of yore either.

Maybe Audi and BMW have to think about what it means to make a competitive EV since their price-points are similar to Tesla's, but VW proper will be pushing EVs at the ~$30k MSRP range. They don't need to be more advanced than a Tesla at that price because there is no significant market of people cross-shopping $50k Teslas and $30k VWs. What these manufacturer's need to do is release electric cars with reasonable ranges, near existing price-points, that look and feel "German Car".
If that’s what it sounds like then that is a failure of my description: the problem is nothing at all like overfitting, and casting it in that light would be pointless.

If I criticize the US but do not criticize Russia in the same breath, does that mean I'm a Russian operative? Your logic does not make sense.

If leaked Russian documents surface and Wikileaks refuses to publish them... that's a different story.
> the US needs a group of morally-compromised people willing to do bad things.

It's tempting to think that, but do you have any evidence to support it? Look at the list of examples from the parent comment:

Iran-Contra - We sold a bunch of weapons to a country that we're now apparently enemies with. The funded Contras committed a series of human rights violations and then fizzled out.

Operation Condor - Thousands and thousands of innocent civilians killed, numerous South American countries still unstable and suffering the consequences of it.

28 Mordad - Maybe gave us access to oil we didn't really need. Created long-standing entirely valid resentment of the US and democracy which likely led to the 1979 Iranian Revolution, rise of theocracy in Iran, and today's current trouble with them.

MKUltra - Thousands of US and Canadian citizens, many already marginalized or mentally unwell were unwittingly drugged without their consent. Harrowing accounts like "they administered LSD to a mental patient in Kentucky for 174 days" and drugging deputy U.S. marshal Wayne Ritchie" who ended up having "a bad LSD trip that culminated in his holding up the bar at gunpoint." Afterwards, the CIA admitted the entire project was essentially useless.

It seems to be that any organization allowed to perform morally-compromised acts as a honeypot for the kind of people who want to perform amoral acts, which are exactly the people we should not be letting make any of these kinds of choices.
The README [1] shows a great example:

The sentence "Hello, y'all! How are you ?" is tokenized into words. Those words are then encoded into integers representative of the words' identity in the model's dictionary.

>>> output = tokenizer.encode("Hello, y'all! How are you ?")
Encoding(num_tokens=13, attributes=[ids, type_ids, tokens, offsets, attention_mask, special_tokens_mask, overflowing, original_str, normalized_str])
>>> print(output.ids, output.tokens, output.offsets)
[101, 7592, 1010, 1061, 1005, 2035, 999, 2129, 2024, 2017, 100, 1029, 102]
['[CLS]', 'hello', ',', 'y', "'", 'all', '!', 'how', 'are', 'you', '[UNK]', '?', '[SEP]']

But there's also good detail in the source [2] which says, "A Tokenizer works as a pipeline, it processes some raw text as input and outputs an Encoding. The various steps of the pipeline are: ...."

I also have Plex Lifetime but wonder if I'd have more of a voice if I was month to month vs no longer paying in.

I have Jellyfin running side by side with Plex, though the library is much less curated. I find it works for about 90% of what I want to do once I set up remote access and link in friends and family already connected to Plex. I don't have any player issues (all PC based) so the lack of apps for some products doesn't bother me.
Great! Just did a quick test and got a 6-7x speedup on tokenization.
