The base Model Y is $50k but the seats and comfort are straight out of the Model 3. It’s not exactly the peak of luxury and comfort. However, luxury and comfort aren’t necessarily what people are paying for when they buy a Model Y.

For me personally, I’d rather daily drive the X4. The Model Y wins in pure track performance but the X4 is serviceable. Where the Model Y really falls behind is comfort and luxury. The X4 is just miles and miles ahead in those two categories.

There are other considerations, like maintenance, resale value, gas, etc. I wouldn’t necessarily buy either of these cars but if I had to choose I would rather have the BMW.
> You know, the moment I saw a NAND gate schematic, my mind opened to an amazing revelation: we don't need both zeros and ones, just zeros and NAND gates! The number one is nothing but a zero, duplicated into the two inputs of a NAND gate.

This is not as absurd as you think it is. The most commonly used definition of the natural numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms#Formulation) is structured in a way similar to your description: we have a single explicitly declared natural number (zero), and all other natural numbers are defined as a sequence of function applications on zero (ie 4 is defined as S(S(S(S(zero))))).

Our notation for numbers is just "syntactic sugar" on top of this representation: useful when doing practical work with numbers, but only a hindrance when you're studying the concept of "number" itself.

Analogously, in programming language theory (studying the properties of programming languages moreso than trying to do program things in them), we often prove properties of languages by studying extremely frugal, tiny languages (often called "calculi"), that only have the absolute minimum primitive constructs.

Realizing that a construct can be expressed as "syntactic sugar" on top of a simpler one (objects on top of closures, for instance), is useful in this setting because it reduces the number of cases in proofs.
That's a pretty hefty statement that really needs more than just you thinking so, in my opinion.

This is so cool!. This could be huge for home-schooled kids like mine. He is very interested in science and building legos. I am sure he will dig the Machines. Also thanks for sharing the link to junior science fair. Keep calm and science on!. Good luck with Your venture and I sure do hope You guys go onto become an immense platform for STEM education just like KA.
People have had their car AC blowing out hot air which can be annoying to downright dangerous in parts of the country.
At least one has had his car refuse to start due to battery overheating. I can't for sure say THIS is the reason for any of those issues or that THIS is a dangerous bit unto itself but HVAC generally for an electric car is pretty important to get right given the battery powered system and this particular model's new "Octovalve" Thermal Management setup.

Thanks for the response Eric. My point is about the audacity of the idea. Specifically, to open a new financial market place of the magnitude it would take to be viable, one would need - 1. significant experience in the space to understand the nuances, what's working, what's broken, etc. 2. Sizable investments and talent for operations (scale, uptime, compliance, etc.), 3. A well thought through G2M strategy (including derivatives, indices, options, day trading, HFT, etc.), 4. A broker network, 5. A true, unambiguous differentiator that is viable, measurable, enforceable, and timely.

I signed up for Descript and did the Overdub training a few weeks ago. It's impressive, albeit not a perfect match for my actual voice. You train the voice by reading 30 minutes of Wizard of Oz using a high quality microphone. I used a Yeti in a closet at my house. I do plan to record the additional hour of supplemental reading which might help make it more authentic.

(Side note - I didn't know Dorothy's shoes were actual silver in the book)

My use case for Overdub is to quickly correct errors in recorded demo/how-to screencast videos for my startup without having to do redo the audio.

Here's a sample of the Overdub output vs. my actual recorded voice if you're curious: https://web.descript.com/084a416c-57d4-4df8-980b-24e0df82532...

I remember visiting a client in 2014 with my MacBook running F.lux. We were working late when I heard some friendly mocking from the other side of the room: "Hah, your Mac display has such a yellow tint!" (they were PC and Windows users).

Their jaws dropped when I explained that my display's color temperature was adjusting for the time of day/night and I bet the F.lux website got some extra visits that evening.

The universe may have alway been infinitely large. Its just that 14.8 billion years it started expanding, first at inflationary rates, then a slower strain of 10E-18 / second.

Its a lot like looking at a number line. That is infinitely long in both directions. And if consider all real numbers, it is infinitely expandable.

protocol and metadata in HAL follows OAI-PMH: Open Archives Initiative - Protocol Metadata Harvesting

With a very long list of institutions following the same standard.
From TFA:

'“The idea that America has a shared past going back into the colonial period is a myth,” Colin Woodard, the author of “Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood,” told me. “We are very different Americas, each with different origin stories and value sets, many of which are incompatible. They led to a Civil War in the past and are a potentially incendiary force in the future.”

The crisis today reflects the nation’s history. Not much, it turns out, has changed. The country was settled by diverse cultures—the Puritans in New England, the Dutch around New York City, the Scots-Irish dominating Appalachia, and English slave lords from Barbados and the West Indies in the Deep South. They were often rivals, Woodard noted: “They were by no means thinking of themselves belonging to a protean American country-in-waiting.” The United States was “an accident of history,” he said, largely because distinct cultures shared an external threat from the British.'
IMHO, if you are looking for long-term business, you need to go the subscription-only route. Probably $19/year.

Don't offer permanent licenses, it will add complexity to purchase and support. You do not want a users with a product of yours with a vulnerability they are not entitled to update.

A subscription-only model will allow you to focus on only the last build which everyone will be entitled to download, greatly simplifying your support.

You will be able to add features at your pace and will avoid the bloating that results when you compete with yourself as is the case with a permanent license model and (increasingly stupid) upgrades.

You will focus on quality not on corner case features to justify upgrades or interface revamps for the sake of it, confusing your existing user base. If you keep your quality high and the product is stable and reliable, your users will stick.

We have been selling our desktop product (in our case B2B) as subscription-only for 8 years and we couldn't be happier about the decision.

Great, creating an equity exchange is a heavy endeavor and I’ve seen no more than a couple of medium posts which speak only to the problem but nothing towards your solution. I’m definitely missing something; where’s the beef? Is there something of your solution that we can read?

Seems like a promotional bit for a couple books as much as anything.
How are the childless by choice subsidized? Are they given free services?

When you have a child, 12 years of education(amongst other things(are handed over free). That’s 10k minimum/annum. Totally 120k worth of free education. PER CHILD. The more children one can have, more benefits. Net benefits exceed that by several hundreds of thousands.

The childless get NOTHING. If they are successful enough financially, they are taxed for their entire lifetime to support those whose children get subsidized.

And still the whining and whinging and cries for the red badge of honor. I am embarrassed for you lot. Wtf do you they need compassion for?

I think of it as charity. Forced charity because my species is less equipped and capable than a band of apes in the jungle when it comes to resources management and survival and child rearing. I have nothing left to give. It’s like literally handing over money to someone for their choice to have sex without protection and children without a plan.

Forget about compassion. How about some gratitude. The kids raised by these inept parents are going to be a further burden on society because they will literally have zero survival skills and a whole lot of entitlement.

I am not moving anywhere. Those who can’t handle CA are moving elsewhere anyways. (I am looking at you Austen Allred of YC’s Lambda..spewing your snark about quitting CA for Utah...couldn’t you quit gracefully without spitting on the valley that made you successful?) Maybe withholding on the emotional blackmail and virtue signaling demands and rallying cries for more ‘compassion’ will finally make adults out of the whiners.

You know what I see? I see a dystopian orange world out of my window. I see farm workers picking up YOUR food in this toxic soup weather and taking care of their children. While tech..and YC, I am looking at you..Michael Siebel, I am looking at YOU..because agtech for YC wasn’t profitable for food producing farms ..did NOTHING to fix the Ag in our state and the dire situation of the people bringing food to YOUR TABLES.

I have literally ZERO compassion. Your air is clean. Farm workers are picking food under falling ash while tech twits are debugging Tinder.

If we all starve because our Ag system crumbles, I still won’t have any compassion. Silicon Valley and tech sphere have FAILED the human race and our means for survival. Breeding children is not enough. We also have to make sure the world we LEAVE BEHIND for them is not straight out of the Blade Runner movie.

Handle your kids. Farm workers are literally filling their lungs with ash and smoke to feed the fruits of your loins. Fucking hell!!
This looks absolutely amazing. Nice one!
OP explicitly said, "The laser trips won't cover this."

That may or may not be true, but you're bringing up a point they already addressed.
Totally understandable! We've spent a ton of time talking to parents, and not including ads was one of the first (and easiest) decisions we've made. The other was always offering a set of free and re-playable content that we expand every time we have a release, so families can experience Tappity before they ever have to commit to purchasing a subscription.

Civil disobedience.

The entire purpose of government is to serve us, and we should change the rules if we think that a 30% money grab of all developer's income is unethical.

Its the same reason we support Net Neutrality. We instituted (or tried to anyway) controls at the government level to prevent ISPs from abusing their position.
It's nice to have a RESTful API, and nice to access to more Gmail features, but there are several aspects where it is not as efficient as it could be, and multiple round trips are required with the server to perform some basic tasks that IMAP can execute in 1 round trip. It also has pretty aggressive request throttling, which is fine for a very thin client like Mimestream, but would not be a good fit for a client that wanted to download every message in the account.
> Either you destroy the console ecosystem by forcing them all to open up, or classify iOS as somehow different.

Console ecosystems are already open-by-law, based on past cases from the 80s and 90s. You can already publish a game to a Switch or PlayStation without ever going through Nintendo or Sony (so long as you don't steal any copywritten assets to do so). You can even publish your own software, that modifies anyone elses software (again, so long as you don't break copyright to do so).

Their eShop/online stores are not yet open, but the devices main software sources are open by law (things like the BluRay drive on a PS4, or the Cartridge slot on a Switch). This is how things like "unauthorized games" were legally published, as well as software editors/debuggers like GameShark, all existed 100% legally as far back as the 90's.

Apple is actually attempting to overturn precedent here, they're trying to claim their TOS is somehow more legally binding than everyone elses is, and trying to reverse battles already fought and lost by Atari / Nintendo / Sega, because companies didn't have easy way to retroactively punish users for fair use back then, like Apple can and does do today.

This is a really ignorant and pretty crazy comment.

Apple is this year moving to their own silicon and likely next year we will see the fruits of the large number of AR/VR acquisitions.

Seems to me like you would need a lot of specialist talent to do both.
It's the opposite of a paid app store. Instead of users paying to download apps, developers are paying to list them.
Not just security issues, it also makes substrings zero copy.
See Alexandrescu’s Fastware talk on how amazingly sentinels can improve even textbook algorithms, and how to apply the approach intelligently. E.g., for a linear search, overwrite the last element with the sought after value, and do a tiny bit of work to make that safe and to undo it before return.

If you’re skeptical, I really do encourage you to watch, he’s not sloppy.

The comparision with all the "native-on-web" tech (Flash/Applets/NPAPI) is not 100% accurate. A major reason why these were used was because they let you bypass the stupid JS sandbox - something that WASM on the browser isn't designed to.

The each their own, these tools are conceptually simple but as you found out, there is a lot to learn.

What kind of branching strategy is most suitable is given from how your testing is organized, not which particular tools are chosen.

Ansible is completely equivalent to Puppet or Chef in this regard. They are all the same family of tools. Many find Ansible easier to get started with due to its agentless defaults, but there are some (perhaps Spotify was most well known at the time) who run Puppet agentless too.

Having a server, something like Tower, is necessary as soon as you want to manage distributed configuration for clusters, and if you manage monitoring and backup systems.

Anything that spawns an unbounded amount of POSIX threads will be bad for performance, so you need an M:N scheduler to execute threads. I feel like this is pretty hard to retrofit onto an existing language (e.g. I don't think you can write a pre-empting scheduler in pure Python as a library either).

AFAIK, only Go does this well (with great results) as a result of it being pretty much baked into the language. I don't think it's an async bandwagon, I think async/await is the best way to get concurrency without requiring the whole language to opt-in (as the Rust devs discovered).
yeesh... I mean, not that that data point isn't important but fucking hell is that grim.

I've seen a few academic papers and a few closed products that convert your selection of content you care about into a scraper capable of acquiring that content in the future. Last I checked there wasn't anything readily available as a FOSS library for doing so.

I'm having trouble finding those papers at the moment, but here are a couple commercial products that sound similar in spirit to what you're describing.

How is this not Anti-Competitive behavior? "If you go up against us, we will take away your users and thus your source of income." Seems cut and dry to me.
Looking at the pictures and I can't be anything but glad and hopeful. Having recently gone through (as in, last Friday) a head MRI scan, the process definitely leaves for something to be desired for.

I don't suffer from claustrophobia normally, but being stuck in that long tunnel for half an hour really did a number on me. The head coil was a bit too snug and pressed on my chin making it harder and harder to swallow and panic started to set in halfway through. If it was just my head in a device (with clear sides nonetheless!) I would've been a-okay for longer times as well, but being in that tunnel with only my soles peaking out of it, I had a very real fear of choking and/or getting stuck.

Sometimes modern medicine feels very brutal and scary and it takes a toll on my mental wellbeing. I've put off on getting my gastroscopy for a few years now because again, I don't exactly enjoy feeling like I'm choking and dying.

Anyways, this was just a tangent. Keeping my fingers crossed that I have a tumor in my pituary, would be the best thing to discover in my situation. I'll find out on Friday!
OP explicitly said:

“Even a horn has diffraction sidebands, and unless they're all at least 8dB down in all situations that's bad. The laser trips won't cover this.”

I don’t really understand this. My guess is that they’re saying that besides the targeted microwave band, other high/low frequencies will be emitted (sidebands) and that these will diffract and be way outside of the directional beam that’s protected by the laser trip wire.

I would assume the inventors have at least some explanation for this, but a fluffy article won’t go into those details.
It's a book review column.
For sure. And that makes sense.

I guess I was more pointing out that right now it seems highly scenario-specific whether or not cryptocurrency can help in the way you described.

Doesn't it depend on the amount of money you're dealing with, what you may or may not need to do with said money in the near-future, your own technical competence/facility, and perhaps even the current state of cryptocurrency itself?
I disagree with your entire take. Namely because you assume they can do whatever they want.

A mall owner can't dictate how it's residents receive money.* Nor would it be wise of them to take a share of their commercial resident's sales.*

I'm not arguing on legality. I'm arguing based on social norms (not ethics either).

Apple is extreme social behavior of a corporation. There are multiple situations where Apple copied something another app developer made.

I doubt Epic will win but...it may open up the conversation and maybe finally encourage other developers to push back on Apple, so that a more socially acceptable structure is within the App Store (and it's ecosystem).

If this doesn't cause Apple to reform, the next escalation is clearly inciting a frenzy to push the Govt to execute judgement with the antitrust laws. Even if they're outdated, the case is clear. Apple hasn't just been a bad actor once or twice but numerous instances. If Epic does this with their current case, I'm uncertain that they'll achieve their desired outcome because their limited situation doesn't seem as clear cut.

* - If the contract says this...it's still not socially fair. Land is vast...the phone ecosystem is not. Which means a mall owner will meet a lot of competition to push them to either change or they'll go out of business due to undue hardship put on the commercial tenants.
I was really hoping this was a very quiet video streaming service ... I'm not a MacOS user so I can't take it for a test-drive but I'd like to say congratulations on launching!
