You charge overnight every night so you have a full charge every morning. On the road, you use fast chargers to top it up in 30 minutes or so at a fraction of the cost you would use to fill up a petrol truck. Filling up an ice Ford truck costs a small fortune so stretching your legs for half an hour is a minor inconvenience compared to that. And of course if that's actually a regular thing in your life, you'd hopefully have the economic sensibility to drive something more fuel efficient than an ICE truck.

If you have a power outage it powers your home for a few days. Put some solar panels on the roof of your home and you can basically go off grid with this vehicle. Basically, this is the ultimate vehicle for rural areas that can run long after petrol supplies get disrupted in case of hurricanes, snow blizzards, etc.

Rural people are indeed not the target market (rich middle aged suburban people are) but you have to admit, it could work rather well for them. Probably the second hand market for these things will be very competitive in a few years.
What is SOC
What did you end up using to choose the join?

I’m also interested in adding anti-aliasing to my implementation. Maybe widening the line by a bit and fading opacity over that? But yeah, extra geometry, it seems.
Pricing in the market economy is not based on cost of production. It's just one limiting factor for a price. Pricing is based on value for customer (value is here determined as willing to pay).

Ford knows their customer base. They divide them into segments based on their income/needs. Those who can pay more, must get something more. Higher price segment generates bigger profit margins.

Maximizing the amount of money you can squeeze from the consumer is both art and science.
Some really good points in there. Bottle necks are basically whack a mole. I wrote a related paper on scalability in the context of bitcoin: https://github.com/fresheneesz/bitcoinThroughputAnalysis
Any state's central bank issuing global digital currency would have made a killer app. No mining. Just buy and sell the the coin in exchange of your cash when you have to.

I applaud the effort and intent, but to be honest I think rookie iOS developers (who I believe are the intended audience) should stay away from most of this guide. Aside from typos and broken links, it also contains little hidden bites of bad practices and misinformation.

Some examples (just going down the readme):

> The observer pattern lets one object observe changes on another object. Apple added language-level support for this pattern in Swift 5.1 with the addition of Publisher in the Combine framework.

- Apple did not add language-level support, the Combine framework is a framework

- NSNotification center was added in iOS 2.0

extension ViewController: ImagePickerDelegate {
func didSelect(image: UIImage?) {
self.yourImageView.image = image
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}

> Good To GO

- No you're not: what about error handling, permissions, etc.

- There are dozens of libraries for this on Github that do the above and more, why not use them?

func getDocumentDirectoryPath() -> URL {
guard let url = useFileHandler.urls(for: .documentDirectory,
in: .userDomainMask).first else { fatalError("Can't find path") }
return url
}

func createFile(resourceName: String, fileExtension: String) {
let fileURLProject = Bundle.main.path(forResource: resourceName, ofType: fileExtension)
let folderUrl = getDocumentDirectoryPath()
let fileUrl = folderUrl.appendingPathComponent("\(resourceName).\(fileExtension)")
do {
try useFileHandler.copyItem(atPath: fileURLProject ?? "", toPath: fileUrl.path)
} catch {
print(error)
}
}

- You shouldn't fatalError in code intended to be reusable and ready to blindly "copy and paste"

- print(error) doesn't exactly inspire confidence

- Again, plenty of libraries exist for this (and Foundation's FileManager isn't that verbose anyway)

struct User: Codable {
var first_name: String
var last_name: String
var country: String
}

- You should use CodingKeys or JSONDecoder.KeyDecodingStrategy instead of snake_case

- This section would benefit from a concrete example of JSON<->Codable<->JSON

...and so on. I hope I don't come off too critical here, I just think the author would be better off building something more akin to an Awesome list of links to blog posts, as opposed to a single source of truth of surface-level information where where the bar of knowledge is much higher.

Honestly, the simplicity of the idea is amazing.
I made a commandline tool that shows my APIs "from outside": what is public; do names make sense from that point of view; can you see the basic use/idea?

NB: (1) I made easy improvements it indicated, but not hard ones. (2) the tool itself is super-hacky.., partly my philosophy to impl once to understand the problem, once to solve it (because there's no point designing "the right" solution before you've encountered the whole problem - and I haven't yet.)
I'd say Kotlin is the most pythonic now. Go is compiled to machine code, so not portable, and syntax is more different from Python than Kotlin's.
This was my first thought: I could do this in half a day.

Then you look at their site and all the domains of application. My guess is they probably use a variety of models to get 100%: edge detection, CNN-style object detection, all sorts. And then aggregate/choose between the resulting predictions. Then they will probably have some layers of geometrical estimators.

The challenge here is 100% and on a wide variety of images. They'll need to maintain and collect data across a lot of domains, and find ways of coping with non-ideal ("in the field") input.
There are zero standards for this terminology, aren't there?
A huge number of regular household objects are more than capable of killing you with the voltage they're capable of exposing. Go to A&E. The risk being low isn't the issue, it that the consequence if it's a problem and you don't get it checked out is: you die.

Think of it as an inverse lottery you really really don't want to lose. The outcome, not the odds is what matters in this case.
Exactly. It is perfectly possible that a few larger satellites in higher orbits would be easier. And would still be close enough to provide relatively low moon to moon latency.
It's entirely possible to simply delete Facebook if you don't like the copious amounts of data they are certainly collecting on you.

We don't need to sacrifice general purpose computing and user freedom on any platform so you can protect your false impression that your privacy is protected while actually giving it away cheap.

You can make your own clay out of nearly any soil with a sort of fractional settling process.

Make very loose mud with water in a bucket, let it settle for a minute, pour off whatever is floating on the top, keep whatever hasnt settled to the bottom, let it settle for a few hours, recover the settled portion. Repeat if desired for more refinement. Wrap in cloth and hang for several hours to reduce water content.
> Will you never want HDR

For the record, I do actually work on the analysis and processing of hdr and multi- and hyper-spectral images. Using 8 bit rgb colors on my monitor is still alright, and I'm very happy with X (and I would probably still be happy with wayland, I really don't care).
Reading this finally made me figure out how to turn this feature off (to be fair, it was quite straightforward). I find it extremely annoying when there are always things popping up over the text you are trying to read.
Sometimes I post things on Show HN that have people seemingly baffled. I like to retort that I made them because I wanted to. It's what I chose to do. I enjoyed doing it. People don't seem to think that's good enough. I think to a large extent coding can be like making art. You don't have to explain what you're doing. You can do it because it satisfies you. Not every "coding product" has to be an actual product. I think engineers in general would do well to learn to appreciate things from an artistic perspective and be comfortable with ambiguity in purpose and meaning, and even if there was a clear purpose, they don't have to know it to appreciate the creation. I know it's tricky, because engineering is by necessity such a logical, needs-clear-definitions type of undertaking, but there's also so much creativity that happens in the space as well. I think the "space as a whole" is lessened when people only what to judge code products in a utilitarian or easily understandable sense. Sometimes you just make things because you can, because you choose to, or because you want to. And that's cool, equally (or more) valid and can be very special and powerful. Practically for some people it might even be a good antidote to the common trope of "culture / industry malaise or disillusionment", while at the same time helping people learn and improve their skills doing something they like. Ultimately, everyone's different, and I get if some people want to factor all the work they do, including learning, from a "how will I bank this?" perspective, and that's cool, but I just think there's room for more views, and they should be appreciated, and certainly not shunned. I think our industry is lessened when people shun people making stuff for their own reasons. I really like doing this, and I think you should try it to, if you're on the fence! :P ;) xx

> Still, I’ve been lead to understand that the instanced rendering done in this article is suboptimal on most GPUs. A better way to do it is apparently to put the points into a (non-vertex) buffer and do (batched) drawcalls for large numbers of vertices with a kind of manual instancing. Basically looking up what amounts to instance data using gl_VertexInput/6 and vertex data using gl_VertexIndex%6 (or 4 instead of 6 for indexes rendering).

Note that you can't do this in WebGL, at least WebGL 1.0. (Also, be careful about assuming things apply to “most” GPUs!)
Well, my bad. It was a wrong assumption on my part.
Yep, and depends on available RAM, there was option to install some additional app from network.
When this news broke I though Intel lost their mind.

Did they really intend to just "skip" validation or did they try to automate it further, to decrease time to produce a new chip?
You are correct that I'm not a native speaker, and also that my language uses double negatives. Alas, this mistake was due to editing small part of sentence and neglecting to re-read the whole thing. I won't try to avoid not making this error never again.
Very interesting. This is certainly a scientifically valid response.

Look, I think we both can agree that nobody would describe a mclaren s720 with bucket seats as luxurious. It’s a sports car.

These cars are luxuries, but it doesn’t make sense to refer them to as luxury cars unless they’re actually luxurious. Otherwise every single expensive car would be a luxury car, F1 cars would be luxury cars.
That's really tragic that people think like this. Not everything needs a "purpose", in fact many of the most beautiful things in life don't. Doing things for the intrinsic joy rather than for some end is a key to life actually imho. Those who must always do things with some future goal in mind, getting more money, power, stuff, prestige etc are missing out.

Ironically, tinkering for fun can lead to innovation. Many cases of this in maths, science and engineering.
Google Lens isn't going to include a menu item for every single computer vision task with a simple specialized solution.

OpenCV provides circle detection out of the box: https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/d4/d70/tutorial_hough_circle.htm... The only part that's somewhat difficult is tuning the parameters correctly. I've found setting all thresholds very low (generating lots of false positives) and then culling overlap to work very well when I had to count individual atoms in electron microscopy images a few years ago.

Well,

Authorities and experts want to reduce panic to make their jobs (coordination, damage assessment, policing, rescue, etc.) easier and reduce the results of masses reacting panickly.

But authorities also lie time and again and downplay threats to keep panic low (or to make themselves look better, and also because they don't know shit yet, but must still pretend that they are in control).

The sole individual might be more beneficial to panic and get the hell out (not just directly after immediate blow).

The problem is that everybody else panicking will make things difficult, cause mayhem, stampedes, block the highways, limit petrol availability, etc. But that doesn't mean it's not a good strategy at the individual level.

So there's a friction on what might be best survival strategy for each individual, leading to crappy outcomes when adopted by millions.

What I'm getting at is two subtle additions to your comment:

(a) mass panic/exodus might be a crappy response, but it can still be great at the individual level (if only if it could be kept to that). But even if not, the few succeeding in pursuing it, will probably have an advantage over others that meekisly listen to the experts/gov and "stay calm".

(b) experts often don't know whats going on for a long time, have limited input, give contradicting expert advice, and often just flat out corroborate some story to assist the government political decision about handling a crisis.

My bet is they just invested a few months making a varied dataset, a few grand on mturk using labelme, some image augmentation, a few engineering tricks for a nice UX,some strategies for getting the model to converge on tricky test images, and got it to hit 100% accuracy fairly quickly.
I learned more from games than school, and could go on quite a rant on this. But I'll go with Football Manager.

This wasn't really about football, but about management as a whole. I learned to look really deeply into why things were happening. E.g. conceded goals were rarely the goalkeeper's fault, it depended a lot on defense giving them too much space. Also the value of positioning, not just in football, but how much it matters more than technical ability.

I learned that morale matters a lot, often more than other things. Saying motivational/optimistic things isn't how you increase morale - that's a good way to get the players cynical. You have to be realistic.

Also creating rivals helps in making the team focused and the audience happy. You don't have to be violent, but everyone loves a good rival match.

Depth matters a lot too. It's usually better to have a team wholly made of good people rather than one with a few stars and a lot of below average players. The stars are also able to play multiple positions, and sometimes you might not want a star player in their favorite position.
This sentence makes a lot more sense in context. They were using a text-only preview, but it didn't work well for a lot of pages.

Meanwhile industrial manufacturing have been using vision systems for years to count and inspect items. This solution is waaaaay cheaper than what other alternative packages are.

Compare the Model X/S to even a mid range Audi/BMW/Benz/Volvo....

The Lotus that the roadster was based on isn’t a luxury car, expensive != luxury the lotus Elise just like a TVR is very much a sports/racing like car, it’s selling point is selling “Le Mans” experience to people with enough money to spare not providing a luxurious ride.

Driving one whilst definitely is a fun experience isn’t a luxury experience.

If you want to see how luxury feels like drive a Porsche estate car like a Panamera/Taycan.

Tesla is honestly fucked as a car company unless they will figure out how to deliver luxury at a £100,000 price tag or figure out how to deliver the Model X not the Y at £30,000 because after driving a in a Hyundai Ioniq 5 man Tesla is in trouble.

Cars a side they might very well succeed as a battery company however that is almost antithetical to Elon’s persona he likes selling sexy tech and batteries aren’t that sexy.
The point is, there is a LOT more the software can do for you than "stay out of the way". The software can do massive things for your image quality and assisting you in bad conditions. But big cameras do not even try.
I remember a quote from one of his documentaries - “How can you cut the flesh open and join with the other person? It’s an impossibility. You may love somebody very much but how near can you get to them? You’re always, unfortunately, sort of strangers.” It’s profound and captures the essence of his view of the world. It was so deeply animalistic and visceral. Bacon is one of my favorite artists - from motif, substance, contrast, beauty, gore, etc to the realization into thick impasto style, composition, giant canvas, color harmony and his technique of “painting by chance” as he describes it - exceptional and extraordinary on many levels.

The Optane Memory drives use a M.2 connector, keyed for carrying two lanes of PCI Express 3.0, over which they use the NVMe protocol.

If you're concerned about battery life, you really shouldn't be using lots of small drives, especially when the controllers are so ancient. You'll get at least 5x the performance per Watt from a single newer flash-based SSD and much better idle power behavior. Consumer SSDs also offer much more in the way of low-power idle states than enterprise SSDs. At the extreme, you can get a $75 512GB drive that provides significantly more performance than 8x X25-Es in aggregate, while never reaching 3W power draw under load and idling at under 10mW.
It is far more than that. It is getting amazing results out of that tiny lens.

Nope, that airplane was in Belarus airspace so it's up to them to decide if they want it landed or not. If you don't like it nobody is forcing you to fly over Belarus. Their airspace - their rules.
