GM definitely has advantages and failings. Their advantage is actual capability in designing and building cars. They are not particularly behind in their ability to build electric cars.

Of course, the Bolt is neither a particularly (universally) attractive car, nor is it produced and distributed to dealerships in quantities sufficient to make a difference.

The charging network is obviously Tesla's cup of tea.

So GM will (almost certainly) make a bunch of appealing electric cars, and they'll get them to dealerships. That alone will make waves, but the charging network will likely need work so that reviews of their cars aren't littered with experience complaints.

It's also easy to debate items like software, updates and driver aids. GM is probably average with software (good enough) and average with updates (terrible). They have plenty of good investments with driver aids though they promise a lot less than Tesla (for now).
I don’t know anything about this group of professors, but I would assume a good department head could defend and prevent this type of issue. If your superiors continually think you and all your peers are dead weight that’s as much your fault as theirs.
No, it doesn’t show a conspiracy.

The political rather than medical decision making in Israel is out in the open, there’s no need for conspiracies.

It took @RanBalicer 3 days to acknowledge the abysmal data, and it was not “gee, we might have made a mistake in the model”, it’s always “an unexpected twist in the mutation/behaviour/population”. It is beyond embarrassing. But I digress.

Let’s just agree that the 95% RRR for “reported mild symptoms” is meaningless, and that the 50% number from Maccabi is actually good news, and we should use that number in models and predictions?

The amount of money the uni gets is the same. Overseas pay the full price, domestic students are subsidised and only pay £9k, but the uni gets it in full anyway. And, no, they still take overseas students (with remote studies it's not more difficult, than domestic ones). Imperial's Chem department even filled more places for 1st year than usual.
I’m all for free software, I maintain an open source project under MIT license, but I just don’t see selling proprietary software as some form of fascism, anymore than I do Coca Cola keeping their recipes secret.

What are the proposed benefits of QUIC?

May be misguided, but I feel a little uneasy about bundling TCP functionality, TLS and HTTP into a single protocol over UDP.
the original language was ambiguous.

e.g.:

"A synthetic form of the molecule cannabidiol, a molecule which is also known as CBD" is structurally the same but less ambiguous because of the addition of additional words..
Saying there is no execution mask from the ISA perspective isn't quite true either: `__activemask` in CUDA translates to a simple fetch of that mask, and the Vulkan subgroup operations also access it - I believe subgroupBallot(true) is equivalent.

The way I would put this: the hardware is SIMD, and the number of operations executed per clock is the same as pure SIMD, but the independent instruction pointer per thread gives the scheduler considerably more flexibility, which is useful for avoiding deadlocks on synchronization, and also helpful for hiding memory access latency.

On top of that, there's an abstraction of a large number of scalar threads running on the hardware. It's a leaky abstraction, though, as performance really requires sympathy with the underlying SIMD reality, and also the subgroup operations also expose a good deal of the implementation details of that abstraction.
One thing you should keep in mind is never to trust a narrative explanation of events and history. Human brains are hard wired to believe and think in narratives. Reality however is not some grand story arc.

This is not a monospaced font used for code:

> also called non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space

instead, it preserves the width if you apply a weight like BOLD:

> Uniwidth typefaces, on the other hand, are proportionally-spaced typefaces, but every character occupies the same space across different cuts or weights.

This allows visual cues other than color in interactive text such as the :hover CSS pseudo-class.

GM can secure whatever they want, they don’t have the talent or culture to do anything with what they secure.

At most, GM will purchase someone else’s electric car design to use their battery supply. Then they’ll hire a contractor to build and design the factory. Then all of the staff that build it will be part time contractors from a temporary workforce company. The end result will be a piece of faulty garbage that barely drives, with nobody in the company to blame for its failure.

Most likely, GM will sell these contracts to someone who can actually execute, and they’ll make a tidy 2% profit to continue their mediocrity into the next decade.

Anybody who transferred flights in places like Dubai could see huge asymmetry in employees of airport between natives and foreign workers mostly from south east asia. Natives hardly do any work, look utterly bored and either chat or stare at phones all day long.

I am not surprised, after many stories how badly folks from ie Nepal are treated there. I don't see even a slight international pressure from big players like US or EU. Maybe similar reasons like with China - don't mess with important players, in this case oil providers?

>You didn't use mac during the notarization system outage?

No, I didn't even know it was thing until I read about it here. However, I don't use a lot of apps from the AppStore, so I dont' know if that was a contributing factor. I'm also not one to close and launch apps regularly. Terminal, Browser, TextMate are open 100% of the time. I usually have Photoshop and/or Illustrator open in the background as well. Don't be a quitter, you don't have to be a starter.

>And don't get me started on the completly stupid difference between ctrl+c and cmd+c. One (the standard for everything except macos) is used in terminal and the other in every other app.

The Mac has had the Cmd key sincd the very first days of Apple. In fact, it was originally two separate keys: open-apple, closed-apple. It was around well before Linux was a glint in Linus' eye.
It is relevant, it makes it more absurd than Parler's bans but, I was just trying to point out they're for the same core reason.

I can only speak for myself, but when I see a headline that some software update breaks another program, I don’t assign blame. I consider it shorthand for “X doesn’t work on Y, but it works in other environments.” I have to dig a little to determine if Y has a good reason for its behavior.
Windows 1.0 was 1985, so a difference of a year is a bit silly. The majority of the world uses CTRL-C/V and has for decades, so that's the standard.

> Certainly an EV driving experience versus a 55mpg ICE is going to be absolutely no comparison.

5 speed properly jetted and carb tuned Honda CRX for MPG or a Geo Metro come to mind to get those numbers and were made in the last century, other than only a K car or 3 cylinder exotic can come close. Did a Smart, which always looked like more like a toy than a car, actually get that?

I had an 1st generation CRX in university and that thing was a coffin with 4 wheels as nothing but 2 bodies fit inside. It's nothing I would say was ever comfortable by any stretch of the imagination.

I got in a bad accident in that thing due to a mechanical failure on the freeway and I'm surprised I'm still able to walk to this day as I felt every inch of that metal bend and fold upon impact. Ended up with bad hyper extension injuries to my ankle/feet (2 feet in rule in a spin) and vertebrae damage that persist to this day that made me realize MPG is not worth bodily injury.

My prius only gets 44 mph with mainly street driving, and its ok but feels like joke when its windy due to how light weight it is.

I’ve watched a couple of Adam Curtis’s films. He is a very skilled artist and they are entertaining, but I find them frustrating.

They are smarter than conspiracy theories but they still follow a conspiracy logic. Finding patterns where there are none, spinning coincidences and correspondences into connections. Instead of making a claim about cause and effect he will just juxtapose some images.

I think this is a very corrosive style of thinking, and a big problem for society. Adam Curtis makes good movies but it seems bad to get more people practicing this kind of reasoning.

If you watch an Adam Curtis movie you’ll get the sensation you learned how things happened, but just try to explain in plain English what you learned afterwards.

I think a really big problem with these discussions is that "slavery" is too broad a term. There's a huge difference between the brutal chattel slavery of black people in early American history and what some people call being "corporate slave" where someone has to work long hours in a white collar job. And yet, people still use the word "slave" for both. And the usage is both serious and unironic.
It's really a shame the Chevy Volt didn't dominate like the Tesla. It's the perfect transition vehicle. I had a Smart Fortwo which was cute but had terrible range - followed by the Nissan Leaf which was better but had terrible battery life in the winter which has only been resolved recently.

Tesla Model 3's are nice, but if you're an economical driver the cost per mile is still way higher than a hybrid. Ugh.

EDIT: To clarify I'm referring to the total cost per mile, not just the cost to drive a mile - the Model 3 wins in that regard as far as I know. The problem is that the Model 3 costs tens of thousands of dollars more than the cheapest hybrids, so unless you're going to keep your Model 3 for like 300K miles it's not worth it on a purely economical basis.

If you compare to a gas car, again on a purely economical basis, it's even more lopsided. Factor in used vehicles and even more so. I ended up just buying a used Corolla in the end sadly since it was cheaper and from my understanding more environmentally friendly.

TLDR: If you want to be "environmentally friendly" that means minimizing driving. However, if you minimize driving it makes basically no sense, economically or environmentally to buy an electric car - you're better off buying a fuel efficient used vehicle. Please correct me if you believe I'm wrong in this thinking.
Thank you :-)

I think the key word is “hot”. Focusing only on shallow hot topic issues like who uses which bathroom feels good, but universities should be exploring the depths of social justice issues from a more holistic place. I went to university and never had to take a women’s studies class or an African American history class, so I didn’t take one. In fact no courses on diversity were required, I believe that has been to my detriment, and I’d be a much more thoughtful well rounded individual had I taken those courses.

How many is "everyone"? All of your friends and acquaintances or literally 100% of the population?
A lot of hyperbolic reporting but there’s a ton of off-peak excess overnight electricity capacity. This is also when you will tend to be charging because you are home and done driving for the day.

Many utilities already offer off peak rates generally. My utility offers incentives to install an EV charger which is networked and then gives you a rebate for charging overnight after 11pm. My EV charging is barely 30% of my wintertime electric use, driving 500-800 mi/month. This is in a home with oil heat. In summertime using AC in the home, my EV usage will shrink as a percent of usage.

Current solar prices keep dropping and incentives are pretty big there as well, so if you are a big EV driver you could put up some solar with a pretty quick break even of ~4 years or so. Finance it correctly and you won’t have any increase in your monthly outlays.

Biggest barrier right now is simply EV cost. I love my car but EVs are still only barely price competitive after incentives/gas savings if you are a small/midsize sedan shopper.
If you need something larger like a CUV/SUV/Van/Truck, EVs are only price competitive with a luxury brand/vehicle in the class.

I'm an i.MX developer and I've been dual-booting off of SD and onboard eMMC for nearly a decade now.

If you're still crying about SD storage it's because you're addicted to Broadcom, you're afraid to take the training wheels off, or you're cheap - or some mixture of the three.

Pointing this out always leads to an argument from the fanbases of certain unmentionable Broadcom SBCs. And those arguments usually center on cost and the relative strength of the community support. But the design is never questioned.

QUIC is TCP+TLS. HTTP is done as a separate layer on top.

The benefits are: future protocol evolution (TCP is extremely difficult to change because of middleboxes, QUIC encrypts almost all of the header to stop middleboxes from messing things up) faster connection establishment (fewer RTTs thanks to bundling TCP+TLS handshakes), no head-of-line blocking when sending multiply streams over a single connection.

Tbf it’d be trivial to have a button/flag to fix it in the source, and a warning to notify the user. It’d might be debatable to do so automatically, but on demand there’s no issue (like words table of content update/warning).

Given the shitshow that I've heard that highway is, you'd think someone would have developed an economical public transit option specifically for skiers / mountain rec. Whenever I look into this kind of thing when I plan ski vacations I find the bussing options outrageously priced (for example from Calgary to Banff or Kelowna to Revelstoke, etc.) and it ends up being more economical for a family to simply rent a car.

Back in the early part of the 20th century Vermont had extensive train access to ski areas, apparently. And much of the alps is accessed this way (tho in general European travel by rail is much more of a thing)

From my understanding it's mostly head-of-the-line blocking.

HTTP/2 was introduced to solve head-of-the-line blocking on the application level (one HTTP/1.1 connection could only handle one request at the time, barring poorly supported pipelining)

TCP itself also only allows one stream of data to flow at the time (in each direction) - in case of poor network quality you are going to lose some TCP segments, and if you fill in the receiver's window, the transfer might halt until retransmission succeeds (this includes ALL streams within HTTP/2). Using UDP allows you to circumvent that.
KDX isn't open sourced as far as I know. There were open source hotline servers if I remember correctly.
Amazon is extremely archaic when it comes to design, in my opinion, and it’s like if Exxon-Mobil suddenly made consumer products. Amazon also has a dark pattern of seemingly withholding or slowly leaking new features. For example, the Kindle sees very little updates, and for new versions they just add one or two things that should have been in the previous versions but still leave off obvious things. This makes it so they get repeat buys from people. Take the Kindle Oasis for example. I suspect that they’ve had the warm screen ready for a while, but they didn’t release it on the prior version. They also have not updated it to use USB-C, and I would guess we will finally see that tweak in the next version.
> Yeah, I'm saying that you shouldn't have to think of such things like URL mapping. What if now all of sudden you want to post json as a filter? You will have to start thinking of new arbitrary ways to handle this query etc. You have to both parse this new deep nested filter you thought of in backend and also you have to stringify it in the frontend. You add so much extra overhead to try to convert the query into some form of string URI that would adhere to URL rules.

I’m not sure I even follow what you’re proposing. That URLs are insufficient for nested structural queries or that you want URL queries and POSTed JSON queries (which is not even REST) at the same time?

If it’s the former, this isn’t something a client or server should need to worry about. Server tools should make defining the API simple in the native language, and generate documentation which can provide client SDKs (again I’m building such a tool).

> Let's say you now want to add a filter for frontend where you can choose multiple dynamic fields and their conditions can be either greater than, equal, or IN some values, I think you get the gist. [...] status=in:todo,progress [...] status=todo&status=done

The most common way this is handled is either your second syntax or status[]=todo&status[]=done (or even with explicit indexes) to make clear it’s multiple values. AFAIK most major URL (de)serializers handle this automatically with no developer effort.

> priority=gt:5

Why not priority=>5? Again a library can trivially handle simple expressions like this, you don’t have to.

> And how do you typecheck all of that?

This is something the library should handle too. And it’s something I know about because I’ve built it (and again I’m working on one I can make open source). For a hint of how this might look and some prior art, check out io-ts.

> Also all of this is just error prune, you have to write documentation for it and every REST api is a little bit different, people often mess up when naming the urls etc

I bet you can already predict it, but the library should take care of this and I’m building it.

None of this should be so messy or so much work for people developing services. You got that right! But that doesn’t mean REST is bad, it means the tools for building and consuming REST services aren’t very mature. But they certainly can be.
