Not sure if everyone's familiar what is actually in the Model 3/Y.

- The main mode of use is 'auto' which uses as its feedback sensor the forward facing camera (I think only this location, but not 100% sure about that) located where the rear view mirror attaches to the wind screen. It covers ~75% of my driving without issue. I think there is a problem with that sensor location as the boundary layer gets compressed near the apex of the windscreen, resulting in better mass transport and a drier windscreen than the part the driver looks through. This camera location is thus a laggy indicator of rain because it tends to be one of the driest parts of the car. Personally my experience with the this feature is a good advertisement not to get full self driving yet: If you can only answer the question "Is it raining?" accurately 75% of the time with cameras, you've probably got a long way to go on FSD.

- There is a physical button on the end of the left stalk. You press it to get 'wipe once'. If you need to respond quickly to a sudden burst of rain or the driver next to you goes through a big puddle, you can do that without the touchscreen.

- The physical button push also brings up the wiper control on the touchscreen, which is otherwise behind one (non physical) button which is always on the screen. The touchscreen controls include manual control of wipers on/off/auto and wiper speed.

- There is also voice control which seems to work fine. As with many voice control systems, you have to say a specific phrase, which presents a discovery problem: how do users learn that phrase unless they're the kind of people who search out documentation on the internet. I'd also wager many drivers haven't gotten used to the idea of voice control of car features so they're not well utilized in general.

And for your consideration, my opinion: It works fine most of the time (because I just leave it in auto), but I occasionally need to tap the physical button to get an extra wipe. Sometimes when it is very lightly raining I need to manually set the speed since the feedback system doesn't seem to do a good job in that scenario. The touchscreen feels pretty accurate and responsive, so I've never had trouble hitting the button while in motion. I think Tesla should release a software update to let the user 'double tap' the physical button to force the wipers 'on-high' for the rest of the journey.
==Latest generations are not interested joining it.==

But they sure love Instagram and WhatsApp.
And even if they lose some users when they split out the feature to a separate app, they have still slowed down the growth of their competitor.

It's an ugly, but effective strategy.
i think general math courses would benefit from teaching that skill _at all_. you'd be hard pressed to find people who took that lesson away from a course.
> If you have read any sufficiently advanced patent, you'll easily see they're very hard to replicate without insider knowledge, bastardizing the principle behind protection due to publication.

I've certainly read my fair share of patents, and bluntly, I don't understand how you can make that claim. (har har)

Yes, patents are written with a POSITA (person having ordinary skill in the art) in mind, meaning you need familiarity with the area to understand them. A large part of the patent prosecution process is ensuring that the patent meets that standard. So I don't immediately buy that they're "very hard to replicate" for such an individual.

Heck, that would work against any individual patenting an invention, as if the patent cannot be understood by a POSITA, then it can't be easily enforced in a court of law. The entire Markman hearing process would fall apart if the judge couldn't form a coherent understanding of the claims.

Do you have examples where you believe this to be the case?
Specifically for fluid (and similar) you could have a play with mantaflow http://mantaflow.com/ it's relatively easy to build (you will need Qt and Python). Houdini (free apprentice version will work for fun) is great for particle effects and this sort of stuff as well https://www.sidefx.com/
What do you expect from a predominantly American website? Most humans have a hard time putting their values ahead of their in-group loyalties. Just look at the immigration debates here, where people who profess to oppose discrimination against people based on circumstances of their birth like race and sexuality are happy to discriminate based on people's country of birth.
Debate over masks today is a lot like decades-long fight to mandate seat belts
Nuclear is superior in some ways, but battery and renewable is small, can be incrementally built, simple, safe, and is experiencing exponential cost reductions due to mass production scaling.

It reminds me of TSMC leapfrogging Intel because of mobile volume or PCs vs custom Unix workstations.
Just make hydrogen during off-peak hours and get the hydrogen powered vehicles up and running.
Yeah, that 'provided' part makes it unusable in this case.
Mathematics is as much logic as poetry is grammar. Sadly most people don't know that because they never get exposed to the creative/discovery side of math. Logic is just a tool to check correctness and enable communication.
> but it requires discipline.

That pretty much defines software engineering.

For as long as I have been coding, I’ve watched people and corporations chase the will’o the wisp of the “undisciplined coder,” where we can hire naive, barely-educated children, straight out of school, and mold them into our personal “coding automatons,” or even better, let people who are experts in other domains, create software, without having to deal with “annoying” engineers.

So...how’s that working out?

Even when we have AI creating software (and we will), the AI will still need disciplined requirements, which, I suspect, will look a lot like...code.

Twitter Hack Zoom Court Hearing Interrupted by Zoombombers
I'd say wrong and wrong :)

respectfully of course.

School removes the pragmatic nature of math thus cannot even teach it as a tool because there's no concrete goal (worded problemes are not in situ enough).

The beauty may evade some souls, they're just not in tune with the subject at that time.
I find myself never actually using social media. Good friends belong to the same Signal group chats. I have several of these which consists of cliques I have built up over the years in school and at work and that's how I stay in touch. For those that are further out of reach there is email and linkedin if I really need to dig someone up from the past.
A lot of what's "very basic standard" for other car companies gets ignored by Tesla. Sometimes that's good, sometimes that's bad.
SimCopter also supported SimCity 2000 cities.
Eh the way I see it, an implementation either passes the canonical Lua test suite(s) or it doesn't.
You can just ignore support entirely and then it costs nothing. It's what Google does.
It's not about the contract, it's about the trade and brokerage.

A retail broker will either not let you trade these contracts, force close the trade, make you retender, or cash-settle (or charge an equivalent bill to handle all the logistics in an extreme case). You are not going to have physical settlement unless you make prior arrangements with your broker and show that you can even accept them in the first place, but that's extremely unlikely at the retail level.
So Shiller's influence on your wife is deep, not "computing," got it.
There are three main contributing factors:

- Users are not the customers, so there's little point in optimizing for their experience, except to the extent that it impacts the number of users your customers reach with ads.

- Users do not favor faster websites, so as long as you meat a minimum performance bar so they don't leave before the ads load, there's little to gain from optimizing the speed.

- For users that do care about load-time, it's hard to know before visiting a page whether it's fast or not, and by that point the publisher has already been paid to show you the ads.

A helpful solution would be to show the load time as a hover-over above links, so that you can decide not to visit pages with long load times.
Not exactly sure how your personal experience with a company is really relevant, considering that the article is specifically discussing a new product said company is launching.

But transitioning to more intimate forms of social media is a great move, so I'm glad you made the switch. A lot of people do find Facebook (for example) to be too fake, while others need it to keep in touch with their family and communities.
I agree with parent though, Firefox should just ship with uBlock Origin installed. I think putting privacy features in the hands of a third-party prevents some poor choices being made due to several conflicts of interest browser vendors have.
Thanks for your support, Kwin! We still plan on using Daily as our primary conferencing solution with Zoom as an additional option for users.

Big fan of the product that you and the team are building.
The biggest problem with this article is the sneering and sarcastic tone.

The problems the author outlines are legitimate - in particular the issue of quality.

It can simultaneously be the case that being known for ‘right wing views’ causes career damage, and that the solution proposed by the think tanks would make things worse.

Because of the sarcasm, it’s hard to actually evaluate whether the statement that 32% of right wing academics only evaluates to 10 individuals.

If this is true, then it’s clearly the case that academia is completely unrepresentative of the general politics of the country.

Perhaps there are good reasons for this and it’s not a problem, but the sarcastic and dismissive tone of the author indicates that he doesn’t take it seriously, which ends up confirming the charge of bias.

If he can’t see this, that’s a problem. If he can see it, it’s also a problem.
Another elitist gatekeeping the term engineer. Nothing to see here.
I wouldn't characterize this as "perfect" for SIMD!

Perfect for SIMD usually means a significant amount of calculation that can be done vector-wise (you could include contiguous data movement in that definition).

Here, you are doing exactly one (cheap) calculation: the compare, and one vectorized load, and you want to feed the results to a branch, presumably.

You are only saving a few instructions versus scalar and pay a vector to GP penalty.
Tesla's touch screen interface is probably one of the worst interface decisions in car history. It takes two taps on your touch screen to just open a glovebox - in what way is that better than a handle, which is completely intuitive, way faster, and usable without having to look at a screen. Or their fans, where you have to use the touch screen to change their direction - why not just have a tab you can move around like every other car. In my Honda Fit, I can adjust the temperature and fan direction in about 2 seconds without taking my eyes off the road. In a Tesla it requires me to look at a screen and tap like 10 times to navigate the menus.

Touch screens are a much worse interface that physical interfaces in many cases, especially when you are driving. I don't understand why you would take away almost all feedback and speed from some control, and consider it progress.
Well presented - it was easy to understand.

How would you say Deta is compared to Zeit or the other micro-cloud offerings out there? I've never used it.
Tesla large panels are quite cheap since they are not automotive grade. However not being designed to stand the high temperatures that can be found in a vehicle habitacle under the sun, depending of the climate in your area they will eventually fry every 6 months.

There's a Trump-related medical condition which always surfaces when a person is fuelled with conspiracy and suspicion towards him in everyday life. I can't think of its name.
This would be a good deal for FAANGs. It would only be a matter of time before Euro bureaucracy, regulations and statism render them almost entirely sclerotic and useless (not to mention an important source of revenue). The EuFAANGs would survive for a few years, but I imagine most European customers would get tired of a lack of innovation or new feature coupled with higher prices. Even European firms still want to make a profit, and many would figure out how to use FAANGs again.
You're not really refuting the points so much as just saying "You're wrong".

Granted the parent was anecdotal with their own experiences too, you could at least address the points. E.g. to the point of achieving 100-200Mb daemons, you might reference what RAM footprint you typically expect/experience from a similar program running in JDK 14-16. Rather than just:

> You'd be wrong, because JDK 14 will most likely give you substantially better performance than Go
Honestly it's reassuring to read this. I do want to understand IPv6 better and I think I am slowly getting to grips with how it all fits together, but the details regularly make me feel as though I need to throw out a lot of what I think I know about networking, and rebuild my entire mental model from the ground up.
The defining characteristic about Pulumi compared to other tools is that it's not a transpiler, in fact. It's a multi-language runtime written in Go that can host many language plugins (Node.js, Python, .NET, Go, etc), as well as many resource provider plugins (native ones, OpenAPI-based, Terraform-based). So although yes it can use Terraform providers -- great for coverage across many infrastructure providers as well as easy portability if you're coming from Terraform/HCL -- it's not correct to say that it's "just using Terraform" or is a "transpiler".

Pulumi is open source on GitHub if you want to check it out: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi.
> it is not that hard to take possession of gold

I don't know if I buy that. Show me how I can guy a commodity on the market and have it delivered to my house. And the guarantee that process will work when the global financial system starts imploding. For the vast majority of people holding gold, their holdings are only on paper, and that's all they'll ever be.

If I'm stocking up on items with physical value to hedge a complete economic collapse, I'd rather have butane lighters, buckets, vacuum sealed sugar/salt/grains, water storage, and ammo.
Try going to python.com to see what happens :p

Didn’t Russia do a lot more than buy ads? I thought they ran a huge fake account network and intentionally radicalized US citizens.

> If you’re so happy with whatever you have

I'm not so happy with whatever I have to be so blinded by all of its shortcomings to ignore everything else, I actually use all three OS platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS) on a daily basis. That's why I find it so hard to understand how someone can be so infatuated by one platform that they ignore all others.
> Pretty sure a callback vs synchronous style of coding is a little more than syntactic sugar

Absolutely, asynchronous and synchronous are two very different patterns when programming with very different trade offs for both of them, but async/await is not synchronous, it only make that particular call _look_ synchronous, while actually being asynchronous.

Failing to understand that async/await is just syntactic sugar for dealing with asynchronous programming will sooner or later bite you.

Here is a gist that shows why async/await is not really synchronous (blocking) programming: https://gist.github.com/matt-mcalister/3f060bf32d292cfebc944...
> So...how’s that working out?

Fantastically if the goal is to set up recurring revenue to maintain the produced systems.

https://github.com/webyrd/quines is an interesting example of writing code to create code based on a specification. Perhaps not the AI code generator of some people's dreams, but it exists today.
Record MediaStreams to MP3 Files
I'm going to talk more on the technical aspects here, not about marketing or ads or sponsorship or affiliate revenue.

I guess the simpler, though somewhat time consuming to decide on, way is to find a podcast media host depending on your needs (downloads and storage) and then use that service. There are many to choose from, such as anchor, captivate, buzzsprout, libsyn, blubrry, transistor, podbean, simplecast, castos and many others.

You have to register your feed with the various podcast directories, such as Apple, Spotify, Google, etc.

Then you need a podcast site that you can share with everyone, which could be something offered by the podcast media host or a WordPress site of your own (there are plugins from podcast hosts you can use to sync uploads and information to your site).

One issue I see with all these specialized hosts is that they allow using custom domains for the RSS feed (the one that podcast directories like Apple, Google, Spotify and others host and the clients refresh for subscriptions), but the actual audio/media files are referenced in the feeds with the podcasting service's domain. So if you switch media hosts, you'd have to make sure that your older host provides a (preferably free) redirection service in the feeds (which puts a 301 Moved Permanently for each episode in the feeds there to point to your host). I haven't found a specialized podcast host that allows using custom domains for the media files, but would love to know if any service offers this.

This, but not just for Instagram. I know people who have separate "pages" on Facebook to represent different interests. I know people who have multiple Twitter accounts for the same reason, and even more that I wish would. For all of its weaknesses, Google Plus took a step in this direction with circles. I think streams would be even better.

P.S. Tags could be better still, but only if they're used consistently. My experience with other places/tools that use tags is that never ever happens, so I'd go with streams.

This isn't about free trade, tiktok is seen as an arm of a hostile foreign government. The ban wouldn't have taken place if tiktok was based in Japan for example.
Solar and wind are still not good at providing a baseline load, especially in winter where the power consumption is higher.
France slows down some reactors during heat waves due to environmental regulations not allowing power plants to heat the river past a certain threshold, not because disposing excess heat is inherently difficult.
While a spectrogram shows a lot of useful information, it also kind of doesn't. Your ears tell you much of the same thing except with better subjectivity, especially as your ears improve. You can tell (with practice) if a bass guitar is too bassy, or has too much "twang" or sounds harsh and throaty. But if a spectrogram of a bass guitar shows higher than usual frequency content in the 800-1200hz range, is the bass tone too twangy for the song, or is it just right?

The waveform view on the other hand will always remain useful no matter how good your ears get. If you're comping together multiple takes of the same section, or shifting tracks to adjust for phase-alignment in a multi-microphone setup. Doing this by looking directly at the samples is way less tedious than doing it by ear.

Also, though it's probably not an issue today, I would guess CPU concerns are another reason why a spectrogram isn't displayed by default on all tracks.
just a meta fyi... one can go to the wikipedia "talk" page for the Elon Musk article and the topmost debate is the designation of "engineer": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Elon_Musk#Rfc:_Musk_as_an...

Do a Ctrl+F in your browser for "engineer" and the highlights of that word will light up the whole page like a Christmas tree.

Dotnet's GC is way better than Java, Java has been trying to catch up in recent years but it's still miles off.
Something like that, for the ones that dedicate at least a core per tenant. This also reduces the chance of cross-tenant information leakage.

Of course there are lots of scenarios where this isn't the case.

For the most part I agree. The problem I have is with light mist or road spray (not this driver's situation) where it doesn't wipe enough, because the top of the windshield where the camera is is fine, but at my eye level it is not. But I just tap the physical button occasionally and don't really tough the manual controls.

The manual controls on the screen even pop open when you hit the button, so its just one tap of the screen to adjust the speed.
There’s a recursion joke waiting to happen here.
You can run it in your own environment. If you're running Kubernetes we provide an operator that orchestrates the test runs. If you are using docker we give you containers that you control with ENV VARs.

The last one -- Bretton Woods -- happened at the tail end of WW2. I'd imagine WW3 or something equally destructive would be required to totally upend the system.
Honda products are also consistently higher priced compared to their competitors. The Fit is basically the most expensive (and nicest) subcompact economy car in the US.

Other competitors are willing to sacrifice those details in order to undercut Honda (also note the mirror and window controls): https://newchevy2020.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/2021-Che...

The Spark starts at $1700 under the price of the Fit.
To be super clear, the quoted sentence continues, including the typeset formula below it. (It's an academic convention that I'm not a particular fan of.)

> Product is functorial in both arguments so, in particular, we can define a functor L_a(c) = c * a.

Bartosz is saying that we can fix one side of the product, giving us a one-argument specialization that is a functor. In this case, we're fixing `a` (subscript binds tighter than parameters, in some sense) and letting `c` vary. That's what it means to be functorial in both arguments: fix either one and you get a functor.

The same phenomenon shows up in other fields where you have n-ary functions. Bilinear maps (in linear algebra) are linear in each argument. You could come up with something similar involving continuity in each argument for a binary function in real analysis (although I think that would actually be a weaker property than claiming the binary function is continuous...)
Do you guys take applications from non US citizens?
Thanks!
Scanning can be done incrementally with each allocation (Such that allocations become slightly more expensive but no individual allocation does loads of scanning work). Scanning can also be done concurrently.
