I've always interpreted "under-promise and over-deliver" as being about keeping your promises despite future unknowns. The simplest example I can think of: If you think some task will probably take 2 days, you say you'll do it in 3 days. If your original estimate was right, you'll be early, and others will just be pleasantly surprised (you over-delivered). If something unexpected comes up and your original estimate was too optimistic, you might still be able to do in the time you promised. Do this consistently, and you will get a reputation of delivering what you said you would.

Research article titles are descriptions of work already done, so I see them as "promises" of a different kind, and that's why the advice wouldn't apply. But if you said that you're going to write an article called "The Riemann hypothesis is true" before you have found a proof, then you're probably over-promising.

Campaign promises, on the other hand, are about future unknowns. I don't know much about campaigning, but I suspect politicians can get a way with over-promising better than most people, because the feedback cycle of elections is so slow.
Probably depends on how many of the barrels are intact enough to move. If they have all rusted open, there may not be anything to clean up, as the waste will have diffused into the water. Steel barrels, even if painted, will rust quickly in salt water. At that depth though, I don't know.
I wouldn't call that a version, the Mustang Mach-E is a different product line. Just shares the branding and takes some design cues. It's like an adopted son who gets dressed up like the father, but has different genes

They don't resell all the debt. And this make Lambda FAR less attractive. And if someone is going into bankruptcy it would be over far more than 17% of their salary. In which case they would find out if it's dischargeable or not.
“Junk DNA” as a concept is pretty dated. It used to refer to non-protein encoding regions of DNA. In our infinite wisdom we assumed these segments of DNA had no purposes yet it turns out they play an important role in DNA packing and unpacking which directly influences gene expression.

The $750 billion valuation (approaching the combined value of other car companies) is precisely why I said that it was flat compared to the valuation growth, the valuation has grown about 1300% in the last few years.

Also the vast majority of those profits are not car sales but regulatory credits and Bitcoin sales, they are barely in profit on selling cars, which makes the valuation even more absurdly optimistic. IMO Tesla will do well and get to perhaps 30% of the global car market and some of energy, but that still doesn’t justify their valuation today, let alone any future growth.

I think that if Tesla were to go belly-up because of some sharemarket issue, that it'd be very easy for all the other manufacturers to back off their BEV plans. Not necessarily outright cancel them, but just not push for it and possibly let it fizzle somewhat.
They'd have the excuse that "Well, Tesla failed, and they were more valuable than all of us combined at one point, so... we'll just be more cautious"

One major issue is adoption. While there's a whole lot of people who want BEVs, price is still a major concern, as is infrastructure.

Tesla make it dead simple with their supercharger network - find a charger, plug in, fast charging happens. The find a charger thing is integrated into the car, and often has feedback about what chargers are busy or unavailable.

Unfortunately, outside of Europe and the UK, the BEV charging story is pretty terrible.

Volkswagon, who arguably have the biggest incentive to make this work, have a pretty atrocious charging experience in the US, as demonstrated by Engineering Explained[1] with their latest and greatest model the 'ID.4'

Europe and the UK have put down standards and basically forced some level of interoperation between charging network systems, which reduced friction for EV owners.

The other issue is getting dealers onboard. If you're someone for whom an EV might make a whole lot of sense, there's approximately zero chance you're going to get recommended an EV, even if the dealer has one to sell you (either because the dealership dont' keep units to test-drive, or the manufacturer doesn't sell a BEV). Dealers hate them, because there's little to no after-sales servicing requirement. I've seen many stories about people basically having to argue or beg a dealer to let them buy or even order an EV.

Perhaps Manufacturers could go with direct sales a-la Tesla, but there seems to still be a lot of political power left in the dealer networks, so that isn't necessarily going to be possible any time soon.

What will convince me that EVs are here to stay is when dealerships are pushing BEVs right alongside their ICEs.

So it's not that of the lithuanian chicken catcher in Wales?

But nonetheless a hearty story.

Why should the people at Moderna be punished with high taxes when they're the ones that have come up with a life-saving vaccine that's bringing a global pandemic to an end?

Why not go all the way? There are people with physical or mental disabilities who contribute little of economic value to society. Whatever money these disabled people manage to scrape together, we should tax the shit out of it. /s

My more sincere answer is: a dollar means less to someone who already has a million than to someone who wound up sleeping on a park bench. Well, it should mean less, at any rate.
Go look through a catalog of movies from the 90s and even late 80s, particularly 1999 which was the best year for movies by far in the history of Hollywood.

The quality has gone down substantially.
Thanks for that chart, but I read it differently. Just because something isn't the No 1. cost doesn't mean people aren't interested in lowering the cost. So let's say there are 3 million truck drivers in the US that earn an average of say 50K {1}. That's $150 Billion in costs per annum. Sure, there are other costs that are higher, but if you could lower that only by 50% -- say automate some (but not all routes), that technology would save $75 Billion per year, and that number would grow with inflation. Even at a real discount rate of 8% (10% with 2% inflation), that is worth 937 Billion dollars -- nearly a trillion. Now let's say the software vendor who solves this splits the savings with the trucking industry, so they get 37.5 B per year and the industry gets the other half. That's some nice recurring revenue, worth significant investment if it's technologically feasible.

So this is all about scale. Everyone is obsessing over Uber for cultural and political reasons, but there are 1/10 as many taxi drivers as truck drivers, and they earn half as much. The big money is in trucking, and even if the problem is only half solved (say just for some long-haul routes), it would be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, even if truck driver wages are not the single most expensive cost. Hell they could be the 10th or 20th most expensive, what matters is the billions that could be saved, not the rank ordering.

At my office the climate control is considered adequate if it is 68 or above in winter, and 78 or cooler in summer.
But, half-life and hazard are related as well. If atoms aren’t decaying (and spitting out alpha, beta particles or gamma rays) they aren’t much of a radiological hazard. Short-half life means more radiation hazard.
A crate may be a compilation unit, but it's irrelevant. Within the Rust space, a crate is a library. something like 95% of crates are using Cargo, and Cargo requires that dependencies are also using Cargo. Today it's impossible to ditch Cargo, and publish your crate with e.g. Bazel as the build system.

There's no misunderstanding that what Cargo does it build Cargo crates. The problem is that it doesn't allow for sanely built (so not using Cargo) crates.

> specifying dependency versions at build time

Packaging for different distributions, where different versions of a dependency are provided, is quite a common thing, and has justifications beyond technical reasons.
There’s a difference between economic politics to be lobbied for and cultural politics to signal/argue about.
I have some done some tests on 2900mAh Samsung cells from 2008. I have tested about 50 cells so far that were pretty abused, meaning they were discharged to less than 2.2V for several months. This is very bad as their normal operating range is 4.2-3.2V if you are really pushing them.

About half of the cells are effectively dead, internal shorts or electrolyte leaks. Included in this half are cells with mA discharge currents which is very out of spec. Not suitable for use.

The other half lived with an average capacity of 2050mAh with a std deviation of 150mAh. This is only a degradation of about 30% which was pretty surprising to me.

This is quite similar to Deutsche Bahn, the main German railway operator. It’s a private company but all shares are owned by the federal government. They get subsidies (mostly infrastructure cost) but any profit they make goes back into the federal budget.

Pixel itself are like ////// and not square
I'm not sure but we're not there yet if that is the case.

I really doubt it though. I can't imagine a world where we chose to waste massive amounts of resolution in the normal case just so we don't need to sample as intelligently as we do today.

Even in upsampling things we do better than simple square pixel average so if we're always upsampling we'll probably always need to be smart.
I had the darkly humorous experience of meeting my HR rep for the very first time on a (pre-pandemic) video conference. Meeting agenda? I'm being fired!

Of course now that we all live in Covidland, we've had horror stories of whole business units just getting a pre-recorded message that they no longer work there.

So you‘re testing against a database some process that you expect to fail ond you would like to test whether the rollback is done properly.

And because you abstracted all your transaction logic away for the tests, your test result is not worth anything.

IMHO, there are only 2 ways to achieve proper database testing:
1) new db for each test (very slow) or delete all data from all tables before the test (ok for smaller projects)
2) tests do absolutely have no impact on other tests with the data they added/modified/dropped (very hard to achieve).

Edit: typo
I am also plebes, but I would love to learn from successful people.

Uninformed opinions teaches me nothing.
Basically this article does the similar thing with BlazingSQL. Actually both are built on top of the cuDF project. The difference is that TiDB is an HTAP database and this article describes how we empower TiDB’s analytical processing by leveraging a GPU.

And the comparison is between TiDB running on a GPU and a CPU. No other database is involved in this comparison, and this may come in the future once the productionizing of this project is done.
I would like to see some more information about the amount of poor people getting into universities plummeting. It’s my understanding that many of the Asian quotas are keeping poor Asians out of prestigious universities and replacing them with average upper middle class students.

Totally. Not sure about the US, but at least in Spain that kind of benefits (private health insurance, restaurant tickets, etc) tend to be a lot cheaper for the employer often just for being a company, but usually for the large quantities they work with.
In Europe there is still too few charging facilities.

Basically an EV only makes sense if you own a house and can get your own charger.

The V2 supercharger still needs around 20 minutes for an 80% charge, while the new BMW iX3 needs around 30 minutes for 80%.

The Tesla V3 supercharger is promising, but the killer feature will be a unified charging platform and not one for each car maker.
> If they were obligated to buy that insurance, the insurers could require that their insured observe the underwriter's mandatory security practices (or otherwise they would be uninsured, and in my ideal universe, out of business).

Then you're hoping that the insurance company's checklist does more good than the overhead in enforcing it costs.

Those type of guidelines generally fall into three categories.

The first is the ones that are sensible and cost effective, but mostly those are the ones that everybody does regardless. You might marginally increase the number of people who do these things. This is where the possible benefit comes from.

The second is the ones that are just ridiculous nonsense. Things insurance companies require because they're fallible entities. The typical "install antivirus on Linux servers" checkbox. It has no benefit but it has a cost and the cost offsets the benefit of the useful measures. The insurance company has minimal incentive not to do this, especially if insurance is required by law, because the cost is being paid by somebody else.

The third are measures that are marginally effective but not cost effective. They do a little and cost a lot. Insurance companies love these because they do marginally reduce the number of claims and the cost is hidden, but it still gets passed on to the customer (you), and the cost exceeds the benefit. It's a deadweight loss to you but the insurance company has a perverse incentive to require it.

When you put them all together you're lucky if you break even.

I would love to see something like dbaclone [1] but for postgres which in principle creates a new database and redirects reads to the source db and writes to your clone.

My guess is that these recycling efforts will go the same way plastic recycling has gone: industry lying about the amount of recycling while secretly burning and dumping the waste somewhere the general public doesn't see.

Yes, we all want a battery to be recycled, but recycling batteries is an arduous task that cannot be automated efficiently in any way. No company will spend the man hours on recycling batteries if they're not forced by law, because it's a terrible cost sink. Even with recycling the material gains from taking apart batteries are terrible.

Extracting lithium from a cell is damn near impossible, but the other metal parts can be metled down, so my guess would be that when a large amount of batteries reach their end of life, they'll just be burned and molten, possibly with some filter attached to the smoke stack that'll do the absolute legal minimum to protect the people and environment from the toxic fumes.

Or, what might happen is what has happened to plastic "recycling", we export the stuff to third world countries who offer to "recycle" the stuff for cheap, where they'll just end up in a landfill, waiting for the occasional fire.

Sure, these companies tout that they're going to recycle all of these used batteries right now, but in the end I have very little faith that they'll actually give a damn about recycling. They're not even recycling used cars for more than their metallic elements, so why would we ever believe that they're going to recycle something as complicated as a battery pack?
How about the barrels and shells filled with chemical weapons dumped off the coast of California and the English Channel?
Because the only way that would continue to work is they got more new students (at the bottom) to pay for the old students (at the top) jobs and it (the pyramid) would fall apart.

In other words it looks like a pyramid scheme if the grads only get jobs as teachers.
Yeah this is THE major point of this work ;)

I wonder what proportion of analytic queries are compute-bound rather than disk-bound? I would guess most are disk-bound, so using a GPU seems like it will only benefit a small class of queries. (Though perhaps that class will grow larger if GPU acceleration is widely available... maybe SQL:2025 will add functions to train a ML model in a query!)
I think it means no landfilling.
> I'd hoped I could have a new battery put in

Then you should have bought a PC with a battery you can take out, instead of Apple's garbage.

Apple makes their stuff specifically non-disassemblable by third parties. If you buy Apple hardware, you get a repair if Apple wants to give you one, and you pay the price Apple wants you to pay.

I'm proud to say I've never bought a piece of Apple hardware in my life. This is one of the many reasons behind that decision.

Caveat emptor.
The ability to occasionally opt-out is both a feature and a necessity because certain systems are inherently unstable and offer varying guarantees. I’m arguing for an opt-in feature in C++. Of course there is no panacea.

I think we are in this mess because we are mixing up state and religion.

Marriage was a religious thing.

There is no reason any part of the state should mess with it.

But, for a while it so happened that it was useful for the state to rely on marriage to mean "two people living together" for whatever that should mean in tax codes etc. With that came the rules that followed the mainstream religion at the time.

Today that isn't the case any longer and it should be split.

Call the new thing what you want: around here it is something like "civil marriage" as opposed to "(implicit: religious) marriage".

The point should be to separate those two things:

- can you get the same tax benefits? Yes.

- can you throw a party to celebrate it? Yes.

- are people allowed to ask someone about it before hiring them or avoid hiring someone if they find out about it in another way? No.

- is it "religious marriage" so we can force every church to accept it? No.

Does this help?

FTR: I'm a practicing conservative Christian. I think a lot of stuff others do is wrong, and if asked directly I will have to keep silent or answer truthfully.

I do however appreciate my liberty to live my life as I want without neither the state nor anyone else interfering (coming from a non mainstream church this definitely hasn't always been the case, look up Hans Nielsen Hauge for easy access to examples of what I mean) and I want to extend that freedom to others:

If people aren't Christians I might think what they do is wrong, I don't want them to preach in my church etc but I leave them alone and hope for the favour to be returned.
> Money isn't a natural phenomenon.

Asset trading is about as natural to human civilization as you can get. Having a socially accepted intermediary asset is not much beyond that. Simply saying its not a "natural phenomenon" is not a mathematical or scientific self-validating statement. It's just a statement.

> it's their currency.

Yes, and literally anyone can create a currency out of thin air. Other people will use it if they decide to assign it value.

> Its existence is inherently political

No, It's existence is civilizational. It technologically fulfills the ability to have high transaction rates of an increasing population that other assets can not satisfy. the ability to transact more easily and more quickly is what determines the bounds of the potential of an economy. So, of course, all major civilizations have utilized this technological tool for political means. As a way to increase and concentrate power through economics.

This is fundamentally different from intermediary assets being constructed initially as a political tool. Money is technology. It is not politics. Like literally any other technology it can be used politically.

> isn't something that has been perverted by evil external forces

I am not sure what insanity you are trying to project onto me, but I never even came close to implying anything along these lines. You should attempt to avoid fallacious arguments a little harder.

> some fanciful alternative perfect system

You mean like your supposedly perfectly controlled and singular monetary systems with artificial inflation hoses? Have you seen the economy?

If this is your dream economic system then why not live in China with even more inflation and more centralization? Or maybe you already do. Genuine question, nonetheless.
This. Also, if the capacity drops enough that the range really isn’t useful to you (and you can’t sell it on to anyone else who has lower range needs), just park it up in your garage or driveway and wire it back in to your mains electricity.

No blackouts ever again and half-rate electricity on nighttime tarriffs. Bargain.
The technical term for this is 'situational awareness'

There's an bearish case to be made - not only are the state-of-the-art algorithms nowhere near this - it takes kids quite some time to acquire this skill. Playing ball games with my kids, I've noticed even a 3yo still doesn't intuitively grasp Newtonian mechanics - they're trying to catch the ball where it is now, not where it's going to be in a few seconds. 8yo - notably better, though not fine tuned yet. Heck, I know some adults who're lacking in this respect.
