I'll get down voted into oblivion for this, but at this point anyone's covid concerns are about as worrysome as the sun going red giant. Covid is endemic now. It's going to be. To endlessly ponder it is not more useful than pondering the impact of any of the other several hundreds endemic virii thought to cause autoimmune diseases (Epstein Barr virus, etc) It's a topic of academic interest, not something you can do anything about besides getting vaccinated.
Jaguars And Range Rovers aren't "I need a car" cars. They are optional luxury goods. The lack of new Range Rovers and Jaguars won't keep anyone from getting to work or the store. So I don't think the effect will be nearly as drastic as it would be if the number of Camrys and Hiluxs had to be curtailed.
ID4 has 310 miles on its 77KWh, I dunno what "pretty far behind" here is supposed to mean. It's not like Tesla uses some hitherto unknown cell technology…
I don't know--I've heard a lot of people here noting the "4 year cliff" at most tech companies, not just Google. Not all companies give refreshes, and of those that do, it's usually not enough to make up for the initial grant going away.

I left my last job pretty much on the day of my 4 year anniversary because I'd otherwise be taking a 25% comp hit in year 5. It's definitely a thing.

I grew up in Africa. We weren't as scared of Ebola, as we were, of good old Malaria.

It's also the gift that keeps on giving. Once you get it, it does a reunion tour, every now and then, for the rest of your life.

At the dinner table, we (expats) used to have a bowl of quinine tablets, set out like a condiment.

I really hope this works out, because, thanks to climate change, the lower 48 may get a chance to find something in common with our neighbors to the south.
Just as a counterpoint: in computational fluid dynamics there are many large commercial companies that use GPL softwares, and there are also commercial companies that offer paid support contracts for those GPL tools. Once it catches on in the community that these tools are good quality, there is no legal risk, and there is good support if you want to pay for that, they tend to spread rapidly.
Weird as this seems, at the time, you had to be in a country that could _afford_ DDT. It wasn't free.
We also need to look at how vulnerable the residents of the cities were pre-pandemic to determine policy effectiveness.
We've actually been working on an app for a while now to make Googling a lot more productive. It's not publicly available in the Chrome store yet, but you can access the unlisted version here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/waldo-%E2%80%93-se...

It has some neat features like the ability to search within the full text of your Google results, without ever leaving the page.

Would love feedback from anyone who's interested in this topic!
Is your goal to just be as misleading as possible in this conversation?

Yes, of course more 55-74s have died – there are far, far more of them than there are >85s. Normalized, COVID is far more lethal (8x more lethal) for >85s than for your range. Here's the mortality rates:

55-74: 0.28%

85+: 2.5%

There is a lot of energy at violently overthrowing the US Government. That sentiment is expressed every time you hear the word "ZOG" or "Golem". It takes a while to parse through it.

There were better days, many years ago... eventually all not heavily moderated communities will suffer their version of Eternal September.

Communities with no moderation at all sans removing child porn and copyrighted content (to avoid getting v8 by the feds) will always be overtaken sooner or later by the content you just listed because this sort of stuff gets driven out of communities that care about at least some decency. The exception proving the rule is r/worldpolitics, which has no rules per se but there's enough porn to drown out hate speech.
The vast majority of clubs in the EPL can't afford to spend like that and stay financially afloat.
The Model S was at least notorious for long and expensive repairs if you got into a crash. Not sure if that's the case for the Model 3 but Model S insurance rates are most probably high because of that.

This isn't a "bold bet", it's a backstop. It's what (little) the Senate will pay for right now. Their one choice. It helps ensure that NASA has at least one way to get large amounts of cargo onto the moon. No actual manned flight is included, and personally, I don't expect Starship to be man-rated soon, or - perhaps - ever. It's not needed for the most dangerous task, which is getting astronauts up to orbit, that's already possible via Dragon. Avoiding putting kerosene soot into the stratosphere is the only reason to prefer sending astronauts into orbit via Starship.

The Dutch railroad police (as well as the water, traffic, and aviation police) was sadly disbanded in 2013 [1]. In the same year, all 25 local police forces were disbanded and replaced by one national police force [2].

IIRC, when Formula E used to have pit stops, the driver would enter a new car rather than swapping out or charging batteries.
>> It doesn't need to be monitored. It needs to be deescalated.

I used "monitored" as verb to point out we need to be aware of who is plotting extreme violent events like the one Timothy McVeigh planned and executed and prevent them whenever possible in order to deescalate a trend towards others carrying out similar events.

"Q" is a thing, and we've seen quite a few citizens fall for it. That's a problem that any government could come up against and it is the government's duty to protect it's citizens.
I don't think it's the developers who are the problem. In my experience, they're usually the ones advocating to spend time improving performance.

PMs and executives are the ones you should give slow machines to if you want more focus on performance.
We need consumer digital rights. Any device, service, or license that depends on an external server should be required to carry an expiration date that defines the minimum length of time for which the maker is willing to support it. Failure to render that support should result in liability for a full refund of the purchase price.

The other day I saw a dusty copy of Tabula Rasa on the shelf at Walmart. That game shut down twelve years ago.

I can only recommend watching Innuendo Studios' _Alt-Right Playbook_ series for a deeper understanding of the dynamics, but if you don't have the time I'd at least recommend watching this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMabpBvtXr4

All of 4chan, but especially /b/, is built around "haha just kidding ... unless", ridiculing people for getting offended while "trolling" with the most nefarious opinions and defending them "as a joke". This escalated with /pol/ which at some point became mask-off unironically white supremacist.

This is not just about 4chan being too white and too male and everybody self-identifying as NEET (whether as a joke or in earnest). The perpetual "ironic" regurgitation of racist, misogynist and anti-Semitic talking points attracted Nazis because it allowed them to hide in plain sight and they very successfully used it as part of their pipeline by getting people to repeat their jokes until they stopped laughing.
On the mobile site, I couldn’t find any information on what the game is or how it works.

Maybe add more of a header section to explain the game or have a picture of what it looks like in a game?
Leakage is actually a significant part of idle power consumption, especially at smaller process sizes, so much that some CPUs have the ability to turn off parts of caches when idle.

I repeat my stance that x86 instruction decoding is a tiny part of a processor, and things like vector units (which are also often powered down when idle) and reordering logic take far more power.

There's a paper about this that compares the efficiency of different ISAs, and basically concludes that ARM and x86 are no different in that respect. Only MIPS is an awful outlier.

Has there been any detailed reporting on the root cause of the fire? It's strange that an electrical fire can start in the first place in what should be an extremely well-engineered factory, let alone spread to over 6000 square feet, and if that's possible there, it'd be great to learn more to avoid it elsewhere.

Right, that's why I wanted to make sure to add the caveat about fluid velocity. But the density of water is almost 1000x that of air so there's a large benefit to water at lower fluid speeds. A rough back-of-the-envelope calculation shows the crossover is when airspeed is about 9.2x the speed of the water flow under perfect theoretical conditions.

It's also worth noting that when dealing with centrifugal devices, the realized power never actually follows the power law. It's usually degraded quite a bit due to linear losses. A common power used in air systems is 2.1 rather than the cube; using that value, the airspeed must be almost 24x the water velocity. I've never personally seen anything greater than 2.7 (the higher numbers, IMO, tend to be used as a sales pitch rather than an engineering decision), but again, I don't work in these particular systems.
That's sad. 8GB should be more than enough for that workload. Sometimes I feel like we are regressing.
I always stop for lunch on long car trips. Sometimes I grab a snack at a gas station but I prefer a sit-down meal as a break from driving. That takes about an hour. Now in my EV, I still stop for lunch; I just do so where there's a Supercharger nearby. The only downside is that a Supercharger fillup only takes about 20 minutes and Tesla will start billing me if the car is full and taking up a parking place too long, so sometimes I have to dash out of the restaurant and move the car in the middle of lunch.

The solution I've found for this problem is to grab lunch first, then go recharge at the Supercharger and sit in the comfortable climate-controlled car and either have a post-lunch quicknap or watch Netflix for 20 minutes.

Way to skirt responsibility. A school has the same responsibility to accommodate special needs, remedial education, and accelerated education. You have to provide all those services since your student body will be diverse.

This has nothing to do with equity.
ROCm is a total mess, and is Linux only.

OneAPI is in a rather good state considering it’s barely a release candidate now I’ll put my money on Blender support Intel GPUs sooner than AMD ones with Cycles X unless AMD will adopt OneAPI.
To be fair: vehicle density in rural Africa or South America or wherever you're thinking of is extremely low. To first approximation all cars are in cities (because to first approximation all people are in cities), and so to first approximation all cars can be feasibly replaced with EVs.

It's true there will always be edge cases best served by some other technology, but that's true about any device, not just cars.
How far does this goalpost go?
The median tenure of a Google employee is 1.1 years.
I'd definitely like my next car to be electric, and to be an SUV, and I don't want it to be cost much more than a fairly basic configured Honda CR-V. 2021 CR-Vs start at about $26k.

My current car is a 2006 CR-V with about 80k miles on it. It's in good shape and I drive less than 1200 miles/year so should be able to stick with it it for a long time.

My plan is to keep driving my CR-V until:

(1) an electric SUV comparable in price and features to the then current basic CR-V becomes available and switch to that, or

(2) rules change to prevent future sales of new ICE cars, in which case I'll decide if I'm OK with an electric non-SUV. If I am, I'll switch. If not, I'll buy a new ICE CR-V (or Hybrid CR-V if that is still only about 20% more expensive than the base ICE model like it is now), which should be able to last me for the rest of my life, or

(3) the CR-V actually needs to be replaced, in which case I'll do the same as in #2.
The “Big History” Behind January 6th
> but there's a large chunk of the US (by population AND land) where <$20K new sedans remain popular and "nicer" vehicles are still in the $20-$30K range

A Dacia Spring seems to be generally in the 10-15k EUR range after incentives, in most countries. A Renault Zoe is about 20-25k.

The US does seem underserved in terms of low-end electric cars, tho.
The diagrams say "Crew transfer in LEO or direct entry of Starship" as if they're interchangeable options, but these are not equivalent. Returning from the Moon and braking into LEO takes just as much dV as transferring from LEO up to Lunar orbit. Per the diagram that's 3.94 km/s as I said.

Conversely landing on the moon and returning to Lunar orbit takes 1.72 km/s twice, which is again consistent with my numbers if we assume the payload mass is constant. That may not be the case of course but any cargo taken from the Lunar surface to Lunar orbit will also need to be brought back to Earth somehow.
Yeah, but -- though I haven't run the numbers -- it seems like Jaguar would be better off taking smaller profits while overbidding for the chips rather than just go idle and make something. Even selling at a loss may be preferable to the huge damage to brand from such a discontinuity. (Remember how hard the major internet sites work to avoid downtime.)
i totally get that we should save energy and make areas great for astronomers as well as give insects and birds plenty room to not be disturbed by light. BUT living in a german city is just depressing at night. you can barely see at a lot of places and its just inconvenient to walk, also everything possible is closed, there are no big 24h shops (like asda or geant, i dont mean spätshops for snacks) or anything urban or exciting i would expect in a modern city.also a lot of places have these dim and yellow orange depressing lights instead of more daylight like modern leds. can someone explain how this is a good thing?
Yes, what's missing is the trapped maintenance crew living in a pond underwater for no reason explained in the plot, and a secret plan to take over the device involving giant sharks
Back in 2009 or so, I and a few others ran a Google-internal April Fool's prank based on this.

We auto-generated a humongous pull request for the Chromium source code and sent it out for review by all the various source code "owners" (super reviewers) who would need to sign off.

The change used the alternate encoding for curly and square brackets, claiming the original characters were inaccessible on an Icelandic keyboard layout (which is half true, and there were quite a few of us Icelanders around) and that therefore, to be inclusive, we would like to standardize on the alternative representation.

Good fun, although I don't remember if a single one of the reviewers was fooled :)
How many of these places drive 2021 model cars right now?
Any independent review would inevitably be done by the same type of "expert" that wrote the software in the first place.

No doubt it's some sprawling, insane Java monstrosity Manhattan project or suchlike.

> If, OTOH you are able to switch to a mindset where you keep your energy status in the back of your mind (and an EV car helps you with this a great deal) then you might be ready.

Honestly that's a huge turn off for me. I have enough things on the back of my mind, tracking my "energy status" would have a significant opportunity cost by displacing more productive things.
That's backwards. It would had prevented the shortage.

The shortage is happening because manufacturers cancelled their chip orders from their suppliers because of reduced sales forecasts due to COVID.

When the manufacturers cancelled their orders from their suppliers, the supplies cancelled the orders from the foundries, which cancelled their slots and gave them to consumer electronics which had increased demand.

When sales of new cars rose, manufacturers called their suppliers for more parts, which called the foundries to increase production only to find out their previous slots had been sold.
The best-selling[1] vehicle in America, the Ford F-150, had an average sale price of $47,174 in 2018[2]. I'm sure it's only gone up since.

Also, the latest version of the map you shared shows the F-150 being the most popular vehicle in 18 states, none of which are California or New York: https://insurify.com/insights/most-popular-cars-in-america-2...

Wait, have you ever had an argument go to completion on /pol/?

I almost never have. On /lit/, maybe, but on /pol/ either you get no actual engagement, all the serious replies are drowned by spam and the thread necros, or one of the argumentators when called out simply stops replying or switches to shitposting.

You can sometimes have a good argument to completion, but it's very rare. Unless the argument is something the 4chan hive finds uncontroversial or is empathetic to.
Yup! Plus in the US the majority of all cars are not parked in a garage or driveway. How do those charge?
Look at the cost of moving out of the cloud carefully.

Can you afford the up-front costs of the hardware needed to run the solutions you may want to run?

Will those solutions have good enough data locality to be useful to you?

It isn't real useful to have all your data on-site, and then you operations in the cloud. You've introduced many new layers that can fail.

If you go on-prem, the solution to look at is likely Ceph.

Source: Storage Software Engineer, who has spoken at SNIA SDC. I currently maintain a "small" 1PB ceph cluster at work.

Recommendation: Get someone who knows storage and systems engineering to work with you on the project. Even if you decide not to move, understanding why is the most important part.
Cops aren't allowed to murder people on sight -- "junkie" or otherwise. Never understood why people seem to think this is a compelling argument.

This may be a dumb question, but is it still "Just In Time" if the parts are just stockpiled on shelves owned by someone else?
I've often found "read the docs" leaves you with too many options for many libraries. A lot of libraries have community preferences that aren't captured in the docs. If you pick the non-standard implementation, you may paint yourself into a corner with plugins and maintenance - even though the way you choose is completely sufficient.
I’m willing to bet Tesla runs into this in just a few months. This is coming in waves across the industry, and I doubt Tesla is equipped to deal with it any better than any other manufacturer.

(Full disclosure: I work for an Automotive OEM. I do not have any inside knowledge about the shortage in general, or how it’s affecting my company. All my comments are from my own observation of public news sources.)

In a QALY sense, yeah. The most valuable to society are the workforce but children are almost as valuable.

My parents are 60+ yr old surgeons. They work during the pandemic not because they have to. It's because you run the QALYs and the morality is clear. You participate or make way.
Racism, gore, pedos, endless endless pornography...

Yet when people mention that they visit 4chan, they talk about the 'very clever people posting there'. It's like mentioning that you regularly go paddling in your local river in order to collect tiny nuggets of gold, without mentioning that your local river is a flow of excrement, nuclear waste, and malignant psychopaths.
Porsches have never really had prominent grilles, not even when the engine was up in the front, so that helps. The Panamera has a very slick front-end despite having the engine in the front.

In reality, while many manufacturers have grandiose claims of amazing magical batteries Any Day Now (TM) the battery tech being used in real life cars that you can buy today is all fairly similar.
It would be cool to actually have a "blockchain" for something like this. I know the huge amount of data to be store is a niche market, but hear me out:

Everyone that wants to make extra money can join

You join with your computer hooked up to internet, a piece of software running in background

You share % of your hard-drive and limit speed that can be used to upload/download

When someone needs to store 100PB of data ("uploader"), they submit a "contract" on a blockchain - they also setup what's the redundancy rate, meaning how many copies need to be spread to guarantee consistency of data as a whole

The "uploader" shares a file - the file is being chop in chunks and each chunk being encrypted with uploader private PHP key. The info re chunks are uploaded to blockchain and everyone get a piece. In return, all parties that keep piece of uploader data get paid small % either via PayPal or simply in crypto.

I think that would be a cool project, but someone would have to do back-of-napkin number crunching if that would be profitable enough to data hoarders :)
Didn’t Google disable the "exact match" quoted search a while ago?
I think there's a certain value to that. Sort of a modern take on memento mori, but for everyone.

Keep in mind the new M1 macs have pretty decent CPUs (wins handily over the Intel I9 on several benchmarks) and a quite fast SSD.

I believe it's sustains around 5GB/sec to the SSD and I've seen a fair amount of hand waving about custom hardware support for compression/decompression and some OSX magic for compressed swapping.

So 5-10 years ago you tended to have spinnings disks, or SSDs connected over SATA (a bandwidth bottleneck), and SSDs not designed for nearly the IOPs available today.

So while swapping could be really annoying 5-10 years ago, it's not necessarily so today. Switching tabs or apps is not necessarily going to be annoying if some swapping happens.

Numerous reviews of things that usually required a ton of ram (like editing multiple streams of high resolution video) have shown that 16GB ram M1s do quite well compared to previous generation machines with more ram.

With all that said, I'm anxious to see future apple products with more ram and M2/M1x or whatever they call the follow on chip.
Sounds like a standard business problem, make a spec and get the main 20 cloud providers to submit bids.
