How often do you drive that far? The farthest I drive in one go is 350 miles and I only make that trip once every other year because it's exhausting. (If I could fly there I probably would.) A vehicle with a 100 mile range would cover pretty much all the other driving I do regularly.
Awesome article. Nice work!
I’m reminded of the podcast ATP and the great episode ‘The Windows of Siracusa County’. John’s window management system is both baffling and amazing. It’s a good listen.

As someone who drives about 300 miles each way rather regularly, for me it -is- a real concern.

Re: battery swapping, are you referring to the idea of like, hot swapping batteries on the road, or swapping to an upgraded battery at some point? I'm only specifically interested in the latter.
The problem, I believe, is that there is no effort being made to understand me. My side is very fond of publishing books and articles about how they think and what their values are (cf Jonathan Haidt, Thomas Frank, etc). I've never seen a similar effort from the other side.

I'm not as optimistic as Sun Tzu about my ability to win simply by understanding. Perhaps it works in a physical combat, where every human being has a physical limit that can be overcome. In a political system, there are no limits: a vote is a vote, and if they wish to vote in ways that harm me, I cannot change that by any effort, regardless of what I understand.

If efforts to demonize me are sufficiently effective, nothing I understand will help me. And I believe we've reached that point. I can only implore people to understand me, and failing that, protect myself as best I can. That includes not wasting time on dinners with people who wish me harm. I will not enjoy them. Nor will it produce anything of value.

I haven't flown anywhere. It's as incumbent on them to adapt to me as it is for me to adapt to them. This is my country too, and if they're treating me as a hostile foreigner trying to impose his ways on them, it will not end well.

this is why I roll my eyes at anyone trying to deride the stimulus bill etc about worries about inflation. The supply shortages are temporary as expectation of lower demand did not come true....it is not a fundamental limitation of supply capacity...truly our capacity to supply products can be ramped up enormously and fairly quickly.
I am curious. Do you happen to have a source for it?
I have found I can spend hours on 4chins reading some of the most interesting stuff on the Internet. It takes some work and time but there is gold there. There are some scary smart/genius anons posting.
Why is this hard to predict? All pandemics begin with a case of one. Just one infected person. If your number is not zero, then it can take off again. There's no stopping it until the virus burns out by infecting everyone and their's herd immunity or vaccinations. You can suppress it with non medical methods such as very strict lockdowns, massive testing, quarantines, mask, social distancing, etc. But it's like an ember, can turn into a fire at any time and burn everything down. Unfortunately, countries do well to suppress it, then relax as if they have conquered it.
Unfortunately, once no Armageddon happened, the population got tired of the restrictions and the politicians followed.

Then, the British variant arrived and here we are, world champions in deaths per thousand people.

Hey for Domains
Your reasoning, in my head, lead me to buy a Renault Zoe, and I love it.

Electric cars cannot conjuring to be luxury items if we want to convert the fleet. This is something that Tesla gets distracted on and misses: the Model 3 should have cost 50% of what it does (with the compromises to get there). The 3 is like a slightly less ostentatious S, which is a total market miss for me
I’m hoping my 2003 car does not get stolen.
The Perils of Programming as Puzzle
I'm speaking about nation states, not individuals, I am disappointed with the state of affairs there, and wish there was more we could do to stop the oppression.

I am not speaking in terms of a personal attack against oppressed North Koreans, and it's confusing that you appear to persist in turning this discussion into that.

I want hackers to learn more, I am not personally responsible for whether or not it is legal for a North Korean citizen to use a service offered by a US entity, and I do not have a strong opinion about whether it's OK to regulate that, it's not my speciality.

I was sharing an observation: people from North Korea are training their hacking skills using Hacker Rank. NK internet is strongly regulated, so those people must be using it for state sponsored purposes. Current trends for computing expertise in North Korea have been towards malicious acts by the government (not pointing fingers at individuals, I hope some of these NK hackers find a way to escape their oppression but I suspect they'll just be treated better than others so they'll continue to be oppressed next generation).

Please let me know what you think I'm saying that implies I am in favor of collective punishment against North Koreans based on my statements here so I can more accurately respond to your concern. I'd also love to hear why you have such a strong point of view on this subject, it may add color to help me understand your statements.
After swearing up and down that they would never do battery swaps, Tesla demonstrated a 90 second swap back in 2012. They held a few events in California to get enough swaps to meet ZEV benchmarks and get nearly $300mil. When they were called out they removed any reference to the program and pretended like it never happened.

>Covid-19 is hopefully going to be short-lived thanks to the vaccines, but even if it weren't for that it would likely become more virulent but less deadly over time like the other Coronaviruses that are endemic in humans.

Over the last year it's be come more virulent and more deadly.

We have no idea how well the vaccines are going to work. We have a situation right now where a country(india) with 100 million people vaccinated is getting 350,000 cases a day, and it's doubling every 10 days. That's a scenario where the evolution around the protection a vaccine offers becomes a very real and distinct possibility.
Walked into an ice rink.

They measured kids temperature. 107 degrees.

After much confusion as to why the healthy looking child, and that no I wasn’t rushing her to the ER, they finally figured out that for head scanners don’t work right at 20 degrees.

The solution of course was to have someone sit on it when not in use.

A week later no more temperature scans.
I've gotten scolded for doing things like that, but it's 2021, so selective enforcement on Very Important platforms is nothing surprising.

I agree on the first point, allocating time to design the expected outcome is also key.

But on the second point, I find myself having to use the g! Operator of ddg to get the result I need.

Recently it was looking for a workaround I knew existed for a documented defect. ( weirdly not documented on the bug tracker of the library ... go figure )

Google gave me the result, Duck Duck go was serving me the doc or the bug tracker.

Hmm. Actually maybe Google just remembered that from my previous search.

Hi jcims

Sorry I am trying to contact you in a non traditional way but I need your advice on something very important. My mom (53Y) got diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer recently. The surgery has been done and chemo started 3 days back.

I saw your comment on the HN post which is around 3 years old where you mentioned your wife took part in clinic trial for atezolizumab.

Fingers crossed. I hope you guys are doing ok. I need to learn more about the treatment. I would be grateful to you for any advice/help you can give me. I don’t know your email id. My email id is anuragvermaknn@gmail.com.

Great job on nnn! I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what it can do but I still use it many times per day.

I asked an Australian once why everyone was a C word and he said it was easier than remembering names.
Thanks for bringing up the Bullwhip effect. Do you know about any format where one can get insights into the current state of the supply chain world? I don't get why podcasts and tv channels talk about all and everything 24/7 but never manage to pull up an interview with top tier supply chain/logistics/purchasing manager people. Why isn't this something that should be publicly debate?
Often yes. "Medical devices" covers a large array of products from in-vitro/small implantable to things similar to laboratory equipment (think patient monitoring) or industrial (MRI and the like, autoclaves, etc). "Safety" is not really achieved on a per-component basis, but as a sum of the parts.

As for other comments in this thread, depending on your device, it can see a great deal of thermal stress (steam autoclaves) or vibration (MRI), and not all components in autos are experiencing the total vibrations from internal combustion engines. I've typically designed in components with extended temperature ranges, most commonly 85C+ or even 125C. This increases the reliability and extends the life of your product.

"Automotive-grade" typically means extra lot testing, and some parameters may vary in the datasheet due to the way the parts were validated by the manufacturer, even though they're technically the same part. For instance, I am using a Texas Instruments part that became nearly impossible to source. I had the automotive version in my bill of materials because at time of the design, it was the only version out. An alternative made by TI looked like a good fit, but a few key parameters in the datasheet didn't quite line up. It was because the automotive was tested at like 13.8V input whereas the newer "industrial" part was tested with 24V and slightly different loads. Same exact component, tested slightly differently.
And some people still treat others badly long after high school. If someone got bullied by a manager or co-worker, it would be even harder to forgive them than to forgive a high school bully. So the consequences could be longer-lasting.
Here in Finland there was no super-strict anything and we did well.

I think it's more about how well people follow restrictions than how strict the policy is.

Even when authorities get some responses wrong, but people follow them, it helps because you can correct them. If you have cynical attitude, that government was wrong on this detail, so everything is now bullshit, nothing will work.
My 2012 MacBook Pro (the very first retina model) is 100% usable as daily driver. Only problem is it needs a new battery.
same. but I truly don't think we will have large inflation. This is just creakiness of a machine restarting after being turned to a lower setting based on unmet expectations of a long span of limited consumer demand.
Yes but not in the way you're implying.

A child dying robs them and the world of 60+ years of human life. An 80 year old dying of COVID-19 was not going to live much longer anyway, so the loss is less severe. Old people have already had the opportunity to live a "full" life.

Imagine two societies – one where a disease kills 50% of < 10s every year, and another that kills 50% of > 70s every year. Which society would do better? Which society would you rather live in?
Science/$ is something of a "new invented benchmark", but I think it's useful to a point.

I fully agree that "put ourselves in space" was the prime driver for NASA up through Apollo, and has certainly played a role since, but NASA as a driver of scientific discovery has become, I think, the main NASA thing.
> And reports are coming in of lack supply scarcity.

We are now well over a year into this pandemic. The original justification for the lockdowns in the US was "15 days to slow the spread," i.e. that we would self quarantine to buy time to add ICU capacity, secure PPE and supplies for hospitals, etc. Instead ICU capacity was kept flat and economy-wide hospital staff were reduced and we were told "nope, keep doing this until we have a vaccine."

Is there a single country in the world that has actually beefed up ICU capacity and secured basic supplies like oxygen for itself?

Cybertruck will have 250+ miles of range for $39,900, which is the same as the ID.4 this article is about.

what about it is "higher end"?

Gibraltar seems sadly edifying too: no deaths until November, highest (world-wide) total per-capita deaths at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/gibraltar/, but cases are now also basically down to 0 (and https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations has the vaccinated population (not just doses) at above 100%...).
Ah thanks, I googled “cold rolling” and things like that.
You can't, really. But no internet forum is immune to astroturfing and lying. Be it Hacker News or Reddit or 4chan. Just use your best judgment and don't take any of it too seriously.
Frankly, yes. It sounds cold hearted but many of the COVID deaths were people who were going to die in the next 24 months anyway.
I don't think these maps take into account mountains.

There are rest stops on 280 (just south of 92) that (at least used to) host telescope parties:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/vWEkH1bSvaUZKZHS8. You can definitely see the Milky Way from there, but remember it'll take 30 minutes to acclimate your eyes: tell your kids to stay off their phones (!). You're behind the San Andreas range to block out a lot of the peninsula light pollution, and you've got the coastal range holding back the fog (at least most of the time). Less moon is (much) better, and use a satellite tracker to have something else to watch out for.
> One anecdote of furnace melting does not mean we're in hell.

-- This was one anecdote by me here. In reality its all over the news.

-- There are literally thousands and thousands of SOS tweets asking for hospital beds, O2 cylinders and Meds all over the country. Its even live right now.[1] Are you not on social media?

What do you mean "easy to spiral into more fear mongering and FUD" ?? This is literally explaining whats happening and asking for some accountability is somehow bad?. If this is isn't talked about today then when is it going to be fixed?

There are hospitals sending people back because they don't have oxygen supply!

I have lost 2 of my friends and I'm insanely angry at the appalling conditions that I see. Please don't go around asking people to not talk about problems cause it may induce fear!!

Funny. I would not fly for a trip of 350 miles. Being at the airport early, going through security, checking in luggage, all of those are unpredictable. Most of the time i leave home 3 hours before scheduled flight, it can take 1 hour to get to the airport (depending on traffic, usually 20 minutes), and then all of the above. 3 hours can get me almost 200 miles away, and then I'm left with 150 miles of driving.

A Harvard Psychiatrist Explains Our Social Justice 'Worriers'
Ah yeah that is different then. I do wonder where these supply chains broke down specifically. Is it compute modules or specific chips/components? How feasible is it to have interchangeable compute modules with different internal implementations?

My car was available with I think six different batteries depending on options but they are also two entirely different chemistries (AGM and lead-acid). If there is a lead-acid battery shortage for some reason presumably everything could have been AGM.
I agree with you. You are first person among commenters here that see this. Using free software is hard. There is a little of packages well documented. Plenty of packages has multiple versions not compatible with themselves. Sometimes reading documentations reveals that package API is not providing. Among worst things is minimum reproducible repository when one is working on a proprietary software based on Foss. I never could prepare such example to show reported bug because I could not share code or the bug related on such big part of code that it was impossible to me. That is why I really start to hate JavaScript environment and the business model based on opensource... If owner has no money to buy ready solutions it's gets hard after few years of development to be content of code base one is developing (that is how I feel now, and I'm looking for another job)
And you swapped the SSD and the swapping algorithm/memory usage model so that the IO performance is equal?
Books feel like a really inefficient way to learn how to do a skill imo.
The lockdowns were pretty close to a scenario of ‘fuck everyone, but at least this way they won’t die’.

I’m not sure what you wanted, depressed people to feel a little better but have rampant covid?
Unlikely. Everyone is screwing everyone else.
That is an interesting thought: although, it is something that non-native speakers struggle with when learning a new language. I wonder if that is a factor when learning a new computer language/concept too.

I suspect it is also related to the Curse of Knowledge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_knowledge). Once you are past the hurdle of initially learning a concept it makes it hard to imagine not being able to grasp it: especially when dealing with abstract concepts such as scopes.
I think the point was mostly that comparing the case/fatality numbers of covid19 - a truly global pandemic - with those of malaria has to factor in the size of the population being exposed.

Sure, Malaria is unlikely to spread like covid or it would have done so a long time ago, but the absolute numbers don't tell the whole story about how bad each disease is.
And yet... Deere still gets bought. So clearly someone isn't pointing out something they should be.
It's almost like these interventions can't be maintained indefinitely and are therefore stopgaps at best. With the CDC's own study saying masks reduce transmission by all of 2%, I doubt it was lack of mask wearing that made the difference.

There's still no Armageddon happening anywhere.
Aside from the hassle involved, any reason you couldn't try to get a class-action lawsuit started?
They also say the peak power draw is 23kW. Now 23kW/20kA = 1.1V which is about what my NVIDIA 2080 GPU uses at load. So that does indeed seem to work out.

Of course 20kA is pretty insane, would be interesting to see just how they feed the power to this thing. Bond wires going to the middle of the chip? And the local regulator must be a beast, or rather lots of beasts.
The biggest single cause of network engineer hair loss must be MTU and fragmentation. We had some customers over a tunnel (IIRC, it was MPLS) that reduced the MTU from 1500 (default Ethernet) to 1496. This happened while our vendor changed some equipment and forgot to update either MTU to accommodate the extra MPLS header. Of course, there was a misconfigured firewall that wouldn't fragment and wouldn't send "ICMP won't fragment".

The result? Most DNS queries went through. All chat applications worked. SSH generally worked, except when you started a full-screen terminal application. Smaller web pages load. Larger web pages loaded only partially.

Imagine non-technical users explaining their issue. "The Internet is half-broken. Please help."

God only knows how much hair I would have today if the world had figured MTU and fragmentation properly.
You don't really have to ask others. The C and C++ standard disagree, you can easily find instances of this disagreement if you just peruse them. The easiest example to find is the difference in behavior of the auto keyword or in how conversions from void * to something_else * are implicit in C not in C++. There's now also an extreme number of subtleties in terms of undefined behavior which differ between the languages.

Ascon – Lightweight Authenticated Encryption and Hashing
Since January of this year, I have been waiting for a certain MCU (STM32F042K6T6) to be available but still no luck. I get the bigger picture now: there's a shortage at the source. I have to move fast and secure a stock of the rest of the ICs, otherwise this supply-chain issue can be disastrous to small hardware companies.
This too. There are some really smart people arguing positions that I never see argued in the mainstream press. I have much better understanding of pro-gun people now than I used to. I still don't agree with them, but I am closer to understanding.
