Mining trucks and industrial infrastructure don't really reflect the bulk of petroleum use. Something like 2/3 of the total US petroleum input goes to simple civil transportation alone.

Heavy industry and core infrastructure are the last things that people interested in renewables will be fighting over. The low hanging fruit of personal vehicles and electricity generation is what's killing the middle east oil cartel.

Fair enough. Good luck then with 2.0. I just wish the value proposition is strong enough to inspire users like me to try it again although much has to change for that to happen.
I just wish I didn't have the feeling that the free version is just a bait for the SaaS.
Anyhow, as said, good luck.
But feels like this is a short-sighted move. DIY market might statistically only account for 20% of the sales of these APUs, but that's historical data.

These new Ryzen 4000 generation should be a significant improvement over the previous generation, and better than what Intel can put out (especially on the graphics front). Just look at the rave reviews regarding the Ryzen 4000 laptops.

The DIY market is where a lot of innovation and word-of-mouth brand awareness is built up. Granted it'll be released to DIY market at some point, but it seem like a delayed opportunity. If laptop market is again of any indication, OEMs can give these the "budget unit" treatment and refrain from putting them in their flagship products.

Disclaimer: I've been anticipating this release, especially the 4700G chip, so this is very underwhelming.
The kickstarter funding target is $50k. Is that a typical cost to design and manufacture a phone?

Unless you're using the size of the standard as a rough measure of the complexity of creating a new implementation of the standard. If you need to provide an implementation of the standard library, then that contributes to the amount of effort required.

Trust is an important factor for us. You're right, and YC helps, but we also have other structures that make things transparent.

The charitable assets in our app actually go into a 501c3 public charity (Charityvest Inc), a part of our social enterprise, which has to file a Form 990 every year making its financials and board members public. We launched in 2019, so our first 990 filing is this year. We also conduct our own internal financial audit which we plan to make public on our site. Our charitable operations will be increasingly transparent.

We're also partnered with / backed by other significant institutions: Yale University, The Farm at Comcast NBCUniversal, Dwolla, Plaid, Synovus Bank, etc.

You can also follow up with any charity you grant to out of Charityvest yourself and ask them if they receive Charityvest's grants in a timely manner. Generally all charities will gladly confirm receipt of a donor gift.

Hope this helps!

A lot of FAANG and FAANG-adjacent dev jobs are not any more glamorous than other dev jobs. A lot of the day to day looks the same, just keeping the lights on. Sometimes a really interesting technical problem does come up, but a lot of the complexity of the job is working within a huge complicated environment, both technically and organizationally.

I will say, completely anecdotally, that the average bar for competency and work ethic is higher. Day to day stuff just gets done faster and more thoroughly with more accountability. But that's just personal experience, YMMV.

I worked on cooler and more diverse stuff at various start ups and contract gigs, but I get paid literally double (or more) in big tech sooooo yeah riding it out for a bit. I don't see doing this for 20 more years, though.
What a great patch history. Love this:

>> Would it be OK if we add this to 3.7beta2?

> It's up to the release manager, but personally it feels like you're pushing too hard. Since you've done that frequently in the past I think we should help you by declining your request. 3.8 is right around the corner (on a Python release timescale) and this will give people a nice incentive to upgrade. Subsequent betas exist to stabilize the release, not to put in more new stuff.
> when it's own guidelines say if media would cover it

Actually, the guidelines say: "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic". And also: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" is OK.[1]

Long-form articles on news sites usually have much more intellectual content than TV news.

The terms of their commercial license may have been evolving, but the terms of the open source has not. GPL is GPL and LGPL is LGPL. The terms of those licenses prohibit additional restrictions (notably, you are not allowed to add a noncommercial clause to the GPL/LGPL) and the Qt company cannot make their own open source license that is noncommercial otherwise they'd violate the KDE Free Qt Agreement. The most they seem to have been thinking about doing was witholding the open source releases for 12 mo. which is unfortunate, but they are required to keep an open source version around because of the KDE Free Qt Agreement[1], otherwise they are required to release the framework under the BSD license.

Autodesk Maya notably does not use a commercial Qt license, they use it under the LGPL. You can find the source code for their patches of Qt on their website. [2]

I think most Americans agree with a more middle of the road approach: that both companies and govt can be evil and shouldn't be given too much power. Most disagree on where the lines should be drawn with both entities, but the root contention is that power can corrupt anyone, from a profit-seeking CEO to a power-seeking politician, and so the leash on power should be short and the barriers around it should be tall.

The idea that Facebook and other companies have so much data is often a bi-partisan point of concern, likewise the dramatic govt surveillance power of the Patriot Act is a pretty bi-partisan concern on the civilian level (as opposed to politicians, who are inclined to tow institutional lines even in disagreement with the current constituent sentiment.
I do think that's important. I practice that by writing readable, well-formatted code, commenting liberally, and avoiding "too-clever" hacks. I don't think using a well-documented feature for the purpose it was intended violates any of these.

Thanks, I feel like I've just experienced Feynman's complaint about his Brazilian students not applying their knowledge of the concept of "index of refraction" to an actual physical object. That is, I didn't think about how the whole idea of the index of refraction of a material is directly derived from the different speed of light in that material.

I'm still confused because I thought I had learned that fiber optical cables work by total internal reflection, in which the light inside is repeatedly reflected by the surface of the fiber. Is this an overly simplistic view for thinking about the path that the light will follow in the fiber?

> the question of "what is a fact" could easily absorb a large part of an undergraduate History and Philosophy of Science degree

Is it really that complicated? It seems like, at least if you subscribe to a certain definition of fact, it becomes straightforward.

Example Fact: I observed that in a sample of X smokers who smoked Y cigarettes a day, Z developed lung cancer.

Example non-Fact: Smoking causes approximately Z rate of lung cancer.

The fact is about an observation that definitely indisputably happened. The non-fact is an extrapolation which is probably close to accurate given sufficiently good studies, but is nevertheless an extrapolation from facts rather than a fact itself. "Gravity is just a theory" and all that.

By this definition of fact, there are actually relatively few facts of general interest. Most of what we're interested in are theories we derive from facts which is where interpretation comes in. There may have been other confounding factors in the study, but as far as the study results are concerned, those were definitely what was measured.

However, my question is genuine. Is this a simplistic view of what a fact is, and if so, why?
Perhaps their next move is to build another machine to spray some kind of rubber sealant foam on it, immediately after they capture it, in order to minimize and prevent the spray of ocean water and air, on the surface of the fairings.

Then, when it returns to land, someone can peel off the rubber sealant, do some quick quality control inspections, and authorize the fairing to be reused on its next launch.
While I understand the point he's trying to make, I'm not sure I understand how it can be true unless the underlying point is the classical one about how your children will inevitably squander your wealth.

Even if your wealth comes from a business that is only temporarily viable, your wealth will persist even if the underlying business does not, if it's conservatively invested. Additionally, rich people have no problem moving around in the world, so there's no need for the "petro-millionares" to remain in a country that is collapsing economically.

This quote is obviously meant to convey some sort of wisdom from the Emir, but it doesn't ring true. That anyone beyond the grand son of a hyper-rich individual will be back to square one out of sheer inevitability is a laughable idea.

They would also have to consider how the mass of a battery affects safety as a car goes airborne and hurtles toward other cars, fences and spectators, as well as establish the right protocol for when batteries catch fire, etc.
The EV does not have to stop and charge for a couple of hours. Tesla's V3 superchargers charge at a rate of 1000 miles per hour. Those aren't widespread yet, but the common V2 superchargers provide about 560 miles per hour of charge.
Generally what I said above: map, strava, camera mounted under the seat as a mirror(all mirrors I've seen take a lot of space on the handlebars), music player, notifications, calls and whatnot. I don't ride a bike every day(usually it's twice a week) but my rides are in the 60-80km range so having the basics in front of me would be absolutely perfect. At the moment every time I want to check a notification or pause strava or change my playlist, I have to pull over, take my phone out of my backpack, do my thing, put the phone back in and then continue riding. It's not a big deal by any means but it is annoying when you have to stop once every hour or so.

> Not at all true. It's true California used to be a Republican Presidential stronghold that flipped very quickly to the Democrats in the 90s

That's exactly what I said?

Either case, let's not forget, even with how "blue" we think California is, there is still more registered republicans in California than Texas, obviously due to California's sheer size in population. That would mean regardless of specific outcomes, republicans were very much involved at all levels of government.

> and does a good job of accomplishing its goal of introducing people to the field

That's exactly the point. The goal is not to help students to learn the material at a deep level. It's to recruit students to CS. I'm not even sure what the disagreement is at this point, so I'm going to step away.
> especially in contrast with c and other languages that shoehorn you into defining a main function

i don't think that's a problem in languages with namespaces/modules -- a module might define a main(), it just wouldn't be used when it's imported. (unless you're in C, then you'd get a name clash)

Thanks for your answer. Sorry for the delay to answer back. The Stripe Developer Coefficient report has many useful data, thanks. Would be useful to include the numbers about cloud dev too, but this is optional, since I'm not targeting that market directly.

My comment above discussed the inability of neural networks (and propositional, attribute-value learners in general) to represent variables. I'm sorry, but I can't see how your comment or the post you link to show that neural networks can represent variables.

I do not quite understand the relation between "abstract representations that would be needed to develop a mechanism to do abstract arithmetic" and variables. I'm also not sure what you mean by "abstract arithmetic", or what mechanisms you mean. Can you please explain?

Also, I had thought we shared an understanding that the ability to represent primitive recursive functions (which presupose the ability to represent variables and recursion) is necessary to represent arithmetic. Your above comment now makes me doubt this, also. Can you clarify?

Finally, the link above is a blog post. I wouldn't call it a study. But, can you say where in that post I can find the theory about GPT-3's function that you express above?
I think this varies company-to-company haha ;)
NuMI cost $139 million to construct, including the detectors. It was driven by the Tevatron, a proton accelerator 2km across that itself cost $197 million to build in 1991. 150 GeV particle accelerators are not cheap, and are going to be impossible to build secretly.

Do you know what's expandable in this machine? Below I see that some RAM is soldered onto the motherboard, so is there 1 DIMM slot available? What about the PCIe SSD - is that replaceable too?
> And then the EV has to stop and charge for a couple hours.

Also, it isn't a couple of hours at all. 10% to 90% charge in model 3 takes about 50 minutes using a V2 supercharger (the most ubiquitous one) and about 40 mins using a V3 supercharger.

And both take much faster to get to lower percentages, due to the charge rate curve looking more like a log(1/x) graph, with rapid charge rate at the beginning that slows down the more your car is charged.
This reminded me a message from the book "kids are worth it!" by Barbara Coloroso. In it she describes three forms of parenting. The first is brick wall parenting -- essentially conform to my will or else. Brick wall parents tend to raise children who go on to be brick wall parents or jellyfish parents.

Jellyfish parents provide little to no structure to their own children and essentially turn them free-range.

She also talks about a middle ground between which she calls the backbone parent. Parents who provide structure but to not enforce their will on their own children.

In the case of processes, they shouldn't be mandates from management. Instead, they should be results of the workers deciding what is best for the time being. If the needs change and old processes are no longer useful, the workers should be enabled to change them. I have yet to work in an organization that is setup this way. They either have 'Null Process' or they have rigid corporate processes that control workers vs enable them.

Conversely, because of its larger scope and longer history, there are a lot more ins and outs for PG.
Nobody is saying it has to be this way. As I said, in an ideal world, accessibility happens when development happens and is not an afterthought. But we don't live in an ideal world, and it's clear here that it wasn't thought out when they did the switch, or other forces caused the switch to happen without this piece in place.

So, with that in mind, knowing where we currently are, not where we'd like to be in an ideal world, what, exactly, do you want to be done right now by members of the community?

Universities’ New Freemium Strategy
I disagree. The "algorithm" is fundamentally an optimization problem and companies get to choose what the fitness function for each algorithm is. Facebook chooses "engagement". This is not an accident nor some fundamental property of math. It's a product decision made by a human. One that can be changed.

And there is a fundamental difference between Google's algorithm and Facebook's: control. Google requires user input through search, Facebook decides what shows up when you open the app/site based on an algorithmic feed. In one case the user has some idea that what they're doing is interacting with an algorithm and they can change their search terms if they're not satisfied with the results, in the other the algorithm is in the background making decisions without making itself obvious.
