“Perhaps 2-3 years ago legacy car companies could have caught up if they focused their efforts, but I think Tesla is so far ahead now they will be impossible to catch.“

Car companies have deep pockets and catching up is always easier than going first. I can’t think of many industries where the first mover was the winner. Usually it’s the second movers who succeed and gain dominance. Tesla is still bound by the law of physics and chemistry so what they do, others can do too.
GPU passthrough is also doable pretty easily on NVidia nowadays. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVM...

/r/VFIO on Reddit is also pretty helpful.

That being said, I fully support you buying and using AMD. But no need to throw out perfectly fine hardware in case you still have NVidia lying arround.

This suggests that it's not only just that rents are high, but also that the current housing stock is not configured for the type of demand (small homes for few people, instead of large homes for lots of people).
Apple's Preview does a pretty good job with generic pdf forms. Unfortunately, Adobe has created multiple types of pdf forms using different technologies and very complex specs.
Apple does not support all of these. (You can also find many cases of PDF forms using Adobe tools that do not round trip between platforms).

PDF Export does a good job of filing in the gaps.

CFB has this great mix of alumni loyalty, in game competition, storylines and then all of the actual university rivalries with it. Other sports, state rivalries, academics, conspiracies about rival school grads and their influence.

It’s an affiliation you never lose and so many people end up coming back throughout the season for games that it turns into a large family gathering.

I’ve never seen it’s equivalent in anything else.

This is NOT about buying suburban malls.

It's about buying properties in 45 "inner-city" (high-density) geographical markets worldwide, not just in the US, and transforming those properties into mixed-use spaces.

"We plan to build mixed-use facilities that we call meeting places and that have a wide range of facilities and services," an Ingka representative explains in the OP, adding that "activities could range from healthcare and education to festivals and events, besides retail and food."

I view this as a minor but still welcome development for real estate in high-density areas.
In my company it’s the opposite. Every parent in the company is voicing very strong opinions to work from the office.

The main issue seems to be that (a) they need full time childcare during the workday period, regardless of whether they are home or not, and (b) the childcare cannot take place inside the same house where they are working.

The opinion I’ve heard most is that if it was non-pandemic times, at best they would be indifferent or maybe commute would be the factor, because the kids would be going to stay somewhere via family / day care / school.

But in the case that kids have to be home because school is shut down / child care closes / child care has to be hosted in the same place where they are working, it’s a straight up no-go, 100% dead set against it. The employer must provide some different pandemic-acceptable option, like private offices that don’t require mass transit to get to.

It has been almost completely one-sided in our surveys and company all hands meetings, all parents with school-age kids or younger are completely against remote work (this is maybe 200-300 staff), and everyone else is completely against anything other than remote work (around 700 staff).

Full disclosure: I am one of the 700 with no kids who prefers switching to 100% remote.

I think a big factor to Silicon Valley is VCs wanting in person meetings with founders and to have in person board meetings. If VCs realize they can take pitches and do board meetings over Zoom they can start investing outside Silicon Valley and startups don't have to start and then stay here.

Um, yes? That's exactly how this works. Google doesn't pay software engineers what they do out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it because that's how much it costs for a highly skilled engineer to come live in the Bay Area and work there.

Humans aren't necessarily commodities, but labor is ABSOLUTELY a commodity. We have to start decoupling the value of a human from the value of their labor, because there's no use pretending that all labor is worth the same — while you and I might both agree that all humans are inherently equal. It's like any other good/service, labor costs as much as the buyer is willing to pay.

Higher income means higher taxes, and if you're in a high COL area, then there's the added expenses.

Of course, if you've purchased a home in said high COL, that could be seen as an investment - and the high mortgage goes towards equity.

I can only talk about my own experience is the living / working in low vs high COL area:

When I live in a high COL area, most my money went towards housing. And while my salary was significantly higher, it was also added stress. I was absolutely dependent on employment, especially the first years. If I lost my job, and couldn't find a new job FAST, then that would effectively mean eviction or foreclosure.

That kinda created extra overhead, knowing that you'd be bound to some work - no mate what - until your house was paid off.

As for living in low COL, it was obviously much less stressful. Jobs weren't as plentiful, but finding a place to live was a non-issue.

The downturn was that you actively needed to invest your money, because you knew that your home wasn't going to appreciate much in price. If you wanted to move from low COL to a high COL, sales from you home or whatever would be pocket change compared to the initial costs of getting started in said high COL city.

But then again, the fact that you could be more selective about you jobs, and getting laid off wouldn't be the end of the world, was def. something that reduced stress.

So purely from a financial standpoint, there are pros and cons to both.
Reminds me of the way many landlords seem to treat their tenants.
It's what I call customer experience design. You can build this in terms of user stories, UI mocks, OpenAPI spec etc depending on your customer. This makes the expectations from the API interface very clear. Of course, it may also mean that I'd have to deviate from pure REST but that's easy when you see the customer value. Then the tradeoff between fast, easy and cheap is restricted to components that don't impact the end user and can be changed later. The last thing I'd want is to change my customer's workflow because my entity relationships change.
Thanks! I’ll definitely take you up on that offer.
Perhaps I just don't understand something, but I'm still not seeing anything that would imply any restrictions on the type of government a state chooses to implement. To me, the additional clause you showed just says that the federal government shall protect the states against invasions.

> The Republican Guarantee is a commitment of the Federal Government to the States about the States.

I'm not quite sure where the "about the states" part came from. To me, Article IV just reads like a set of promises the federal government must make to the states.

Ideally, they would produce content that people would, after watching, be happiest that they did watch (or most regret if they instead hadn't watched.)

This is my big complaint about Hollywood, too: if they charged people after the movie, instead of before; and 100% of the base price went to the theatre itself, while people could "leave a tip" for the filmmakers; then "box office" would actually correlate to the quality of the movie itself, rather than to the amount of effort put into the marketing campaign.

Check out the Hyperchange YouTube channel it does a really really good job of following Tesla battery developments and has had a number of scoops that I haven't seen reported in the media. This article also seems to confuse Tesla's relationship with CATL and their efforts to research, develop and manufacture their own cells independent of their parties like Panasonic or CATL.

If even a smallish fraction—say 15 or 20 percent— of the workers who could move and work remotely do so, that could have a pretty significant impact on local economies. Even if wages adjust some, you’d still see essentially a redistribution of wealth from highly concentrated areas to those less so. A shift of say, 2 percent in apartment vacancy rates is nontrivial. On the whole it could be a net positive, for individuals and for stressed cities.
I'm building a treasure hunt web app (for mobile). An app for exploring the city. Had to learn a lot about geo APIs. But may have a potential business model now for larger city-wide events. Have a redesign mocked up now. Started writing the week before Easter and finished the week after.

- Web geo APIs to guide you to the next "treasure".

- Webcam API to capture matching photo.

- "AI" for matching photos and answers to questions in the backend.

- the "AI" doesn't work well, planning to add a python Lambda with a better SSIM algo.

The hardest part so far has been permissions in iOS. If the user blocked geo permissions for Safari it is kind of a pain to enable again for a normal user. I haven't had a chance to test in Android yet but I presume that will present other challenges regarding permissions.

Thanks for reminding me as I had forgotten. Still it seems a bit weird not to be able to discuss. Again, thanks for the reminder (I suspect others who read this thread may also be reminded).

You are correct in saying some questions are better than others. But again that's no reason to downvote as it actively discourages people from participation. I would think the best course would be to ignore and move on as the original comment on this thread mentioned. Downvoting can be a hostile action. Ignoring is neutral.

As per the guidelines themselves:
>Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Case in point, my comment was downvoted, even though the subsequent comment was an illuminating reminder for myself and possibly others. Those downvotes seem somewhat arbitrary at best, hostile at worst.

I've no more to say so I will refrain from any further comments on voting dynamic.
this has been extremely hard. there are a handful of testing labs in the US but they require 35 masks to test. outside of that, they require a 2+ week lead time and aren't local.

if there are any engineers out there able to come up with some sort of solution to the testing problem, we'd absolutely work with them to test samples from every single production batch we get.

You probably don't want to rely on that last statement. Having worked in the hospital sector, they in fact do and are proud of the fact (I've literally sat in presentations about the software and automation employed to do so as well as all hands meetings touting this as competitive advantage) that they upcode as much as possible without risking jail time to maximize revenue. The existence of all those specialty centers around hospital networks are specifically to support this model as well.

I might be simplifying too much, but I would be surprised if more remote work didn't catch on. A decentralized workforce is easier to control in some aspects that are incredibly attractive to corporate leaders.

Fewer spontaneous and f2f interactions between people makes it easier to:

1) Ensure folks are focusing primarily on work instead of anything else associated with being a part of a company

2) All hierarchical decisions (promoting / not promoting) can be done without much personal interaction so turns employees more into school children where grades on certain things determine moving up or not

3) Easier to fire folks if you don’t get as close to them and if they’re not right there in front of you

Not advantageous for small/mid-size companies with strong cultures. Advantageous for small/mid-size co’s with weak cultures. Large companies obviously benefit, surprised more don’t go remote.
In some states, subject to some limitations, that is illegal.

E.g., California's WARN layoff notice requirements:

Per Chapter 4, Part 4, Sections 1400-1408 of the Labor Code, WARN protects employees, their families, and communities by requiring that employers give a 60-day notice to the affected employees and both state and local representatives prior to a plant closing or mass layoff. Advance notice provides employees and their families time to transition and adjust to the prospective loss of employment, time to seek alternative jobs and, if necessary, time to obtain skills training or retraining to successfully compete in the job market.

It is the same in Europe where fallacies are only taught to the class prepped to go to universities. Almost as if logical thinking is preserved to a special kind of people.

If children do not understand it is on the teachers that they do not get the point. More investment is maybe necessary in visuals, animations to put life into stories that are otherwise to abstract for kids to grasp.

Did a mass extinction help dinosaurs dominate the Earth?
No. New York did not run out of hospital capacity. The goal is to approach but not exceed hospital capacity.
That's because we have restricted land use so much that any upzoning is in response to intense pressure, which focuses massive amounts of capital that was waiting on the sidelines to compete for the new opportunity.

If, instead, we hadn't massively down zoned everything in the 20th century, an upzoning wouldn't be "giving away" lots of value, because there would be an abundance of locations that could be used.

This is why small focused upzonings like those that happen in NYC and SF are so disastrous and destroy neighborhoods. Instead of gradual city-wise change like what happens in more affordable places like Tokyo, SF and NYC are super expensive because they set zoning so almost everything is "built out." Any area that is "built out" has reached complete failure in city planning, in my opinion. Which is pretty much all of the Bay Area.

1 in every 5 employees relocating is a huge proportion.
An estimate last year claimed Tesla's costs were ~$160/kWh[1]. This article suggests by end of next year, <$100/kWh. In percentage terms that's a big improvement, but even going by last year's estimates, only $8k out of the $40k price tag of a standard Model 3 is actually accounted for by the battery. So if that $8k drops to $4k, I can imagine the car price dropping to say $35k. But not more than that.

Isn't that the general startup success story: small scrappy team adapts faster to changes and the market, giving them some advantage over slow-moving megacorp?
> Suddenly I didn't mind seeing zeroes falling off the salary.

Keep in mind: that asset your company is paying for can be sold and the difference will be kept by the employee, which will let them set themselves up for a much better retirement in a lower cost of living area.

It reminds me a bit of the SF Giants. They couldn't pay high salaries because they had to pay for their ballpark. But the value of that ballpark is part of the value of the club, which would be realized if the owner ever sold it. So it still was a lot like the owners pocketing the money. But not exactly.

If you were to try to meet the full specs of PDF for satisfying the same purpose, the outcome would be 10-20 separate specs, all of the same complexity.

the better idea is to segment out what exactly you want to use it for and use a specific file format for it.

IE. Do you want vector graphics? Do you want document signing? Do you want to just do printing of a text only document? Do you want to encode picture bitmap information? Do you want to show a document online? Do you care about colour spaces? Unicode? If unicode, what kinds of unicode? Font rendering? How do you like your glyphs and ligatures to look?

The spec is so big because it has like 10-20 purposes.
The Merb Story
It seems as though their model is to have malls with Ikeas attached. Some with really large Ikeas, others with smaller Ikea pick-up points or whatever.

Ikea generates a ton of foot traffic. Using that as the anchor will probably guarantee a lot of traffic to the other stores in the mall (when many malls are losing their long standing anchors).

It seems like a pretty smart idea to me.
One of my main motivations is getting a sense of what different communities are saying about a piece of content. The experience can be pretty different based on styles (i.e. amount of memes, how serious tone is, how combative, etc).

When posts are really popular I'm usually not trying to read all the comments, but would want to read top comments across different platforms.

> Correction: Google developped an internal CUDA implementation for their own need based on LLVM that Nvidia barely supported it for their own need afterwards.

This is widely inaccurate.

While Google did developed a PTX backend for LLVM, the student that worked on that as part of a GSOC got later hired by NVIDIA, and ended up contributing the current NVPTX backend that clang uses today. The PTX backend that Google contributed was removed some time later.

> Nothing is "stable" nor "branded" in this work.

This is false. The NV part of the backend name (NVPTX) literally brands this backend as NVIDIAs PTX backend, in strong contrast with the other PTX backend that LLVM used to have (it actually had both for a while).

> OpenACC backend targets directly the nvidiaptx (proprietary) format.

This is false. Source: I've used the PGI compiler on some Fortran code, and you can mix OpenACC with CUDA Fortran just fine, and compile to x86-64 using OpenMP to just target x86 CPUs. No NVIDIA hardware involved.

> That's wrong again.

> Most of the work done for the parallel STL and by the C++ committee originate from work from HPX and the STELLAR Group

This is also widely inaccurate. The Parallel STL work actually originated with the GCC parallel STL, the Intel TBB, and NVIDIA Thrust libraries [0]. The author of Thrust was the Editor of the Parallelism TS, and is the chair of the Parallelism SG. The members of the STELLAR group that worked on HPX started collaborating more actively with ISO once they started working at NVIDIA after their PhDs. One of them chairs the C++ library evolution working group. The Concurrency working group is also chaired by NVIDIA (by the other nvidia author of the original parallelism TS.

AMD is nowhere to be found in this type of work.
