I have been sprouting lentils for two years. I just by GV brand from Walmart for less than a dollar per pound bag.

Started when I was clearing the pantry before moving to the west coast. The sprouting lids I think might date to the 1970’s and fit a mason jar.

I soak them about 24 hours, only because I will start them when I see I am low at breakfast and drain them the next day.

I let them sprout on the counter. Three or four days later they are done.

No one is going to get to a true L5 for a long time. That is totally irrelevant. It's a war of attrition. Whoever can monetize L3/L4 and can scale without any vehicle upgrade cost is going to win. It's pretty obvious lidar is very very silly since it doesn't scale.

It is also pretty easy to see that Tesla doesn't have to hit L5 to have won autonomy. It just has to successfully monetize L3/L4.
Thanks for the poke on this. I had looked briefly and become frustrated that many of the instructions I found assumed you were a kernel dev and started with compiling everything from source— the Debian-supplied UML binaries seem to work well for my needs though, and do indeed allow doing basic stuff like mounting a disk image so you can run install-grub on it.

I searched for this and couldn't find anything. According to wikipedia:

Yes. Even before the pandemic I (and most of my Big4 colleagues) worked from home when possible (my firm didn't care at all if you came to the office), but 80%+ of the time we were at the whims of our client and were traveling to their offices, anyway.

This announcement probably means a lot more for the internal services staff and the accounting teams that don't go to clients often, but for almost all of the client-facing staff I doubt this makes much of a difference.

As a C & C++ dev that has always cared that my software works on machines and networks that are a fraction of what I use for testing, I get so tired of careless programs that have clearly been designed for the latest beefiest machines that the devs had at that time.

How would it work? Maybe I'm wrong, but once wage goes up there'll be prices growth for housing, daycare and other related things because more families is now able to afford it. It's simply the supply-demand equilibrium. So raising a single earner wage does not seem to do anything good, maybe without decreasing at the same time wage for the second earner (which is unacceptable for obvious reasons).
I can't speak for Deloitte, but having seen some of the numbers of a bunch of large companies, it doesn't matter a whole lot. Like yeah, in absolute its a big number, but relatively, for most companies its nearly a rounding error.

It's much more about talent acquisition/retention vs perceived output, etc.

For a lot of companies that did go all in, they generally give the money they would save in some other form (eg: food cards, paid home work setup, etc). The real estate itself is often also locked in for 10+ years anyhow so they can't easily get rid of that, and at best saves them from locking down extra locations.
That shouldn't necessarily be a consideration. Apartment units are owned by commercial landlords and there is no harm in that.

After experiencing Smalltalk (at the very end of the '90s in my case), I did not expect that the industry would continue using primarily text editors (like VS Code) for writing software. It was clear that there was a "better way" that wasn't file-centric and that we'd be freed from debates over code formatting by richer models of the underlying program source. And now I work with people who think VS Code is the best source code editor ever (or vim or emacs or ...).

Isn't this just transferring energy from the car towing to the Tesla itself? My understanding is this production of power induces some friction, that otherwise would've been closer to neutral.

In other words, if the wheels were completely free to spin, would not the towing car require less power to tow?

I just wanted to say a big thank you for that page. I've read a few explanations of ZKP's, of the
Ali Baba map type and now this map colouring explanation, and I came away none the wiser.

Well, wiser were wiser means "I build another ZKP". The map colouring explanation was actually more confusing than helpful, as anybody who has attempted to colour a map with just three colours knows you often have the entire thing coloured in, except for one problematic vertex which may be one vertex among billions. If you reveal 20 vertexes at random out of a billion, the odds of finding the proof the problem wasn't solved is worse 1 in 10e5, which isn't a proof of anything.

Your page revealed there are lots of ingredients needed to make ZKP's work. Mapping the problem proving some knowledge about a function being the first step, and one you would never guess from the simplistic descriptions. But by far the most surprising one to me is they (or at least ZK-SNARK's) use homomorphic operations. Homomorphic operations are often in the news (most recently a toolkit from Google), but are so slow (from what I can see about 10e9 times slower than doing the same thing without homomorphic operations) I couldn't imagine a real world use case. But here, right under my nose, are homomorphic operations being used in the real world. And no general purpose toolkits were needed.
> The Epic case is a slam dunk

This belief suggests that perhaps you might be the one stuck in a bubble. I've been greedily consuming alternative views on this case but seen very few legal analysts describe the case as being anything other than an uphill climb for Epic.

I have read numerous amicus briefs from the Open Markets Institute, but I'm not aware of them issuing an amicus brief in the Epic vs Apple case. If this exists, can you please offer a link to that?

The latter is a proposal to change the rules and is therefore not relevant to the question of whether Apple were "follow[ing] the same rules," as you put it. Needless to say, I don't agree with the Cicilline bill or any other attempts to frame competition on a platform level. Most egregiously, they almost always carve out special interest exceptions and protections for video games on televisions, but not video games on mobile devices.

>Tesla's self-driving is far safer than human driving: the number of accidents and deaths per mile driven are something like an order of magnitude lower (i.e., around 10x safer).

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Tesla here, is, again, being funny with the numbers. They LOVE to cite autopilot ON death statistics as being "10x safer than normal driving". What they fail to note is that Autopilot can ONLY be on while driving on a limited access highway. Highways are much safer to drive on than a mix of ALL ROADS, which is where the baseline figure comes from.

Another confounding factor is the price of the vehicle. The average CONFIGURED Tesla with the FSD package today costs what? $65k? More? Those X's and S's are $100k+. Nobody is buying that base Model 3. The point is that Tesla drivers are 1) Older and 2) Wealthy. Wealthy, older people get in far fewer car crashes than the average driver. In fact, car crash fatalities are really driven by two groups: drunks (or pill addicts), and young (teenage) men. Not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE to have a substance abuse problem and own a Tesla, but the average Tesla owner is less likely to have these issues. It's also less likely to own a Tesla while young.

So, Tesla autopilot stats should be compared to other comparably priced vehicles while driving on the highway ONLY. That would actually be a fair, honest comparison. I believe a recent outgoing BMW 5 series chassis finished its entire life without a single fatality in the US. That's right -- 4-5 years of service in the US without a single death. Turns out, wealthy people who drive expensive family sedans don't get in a lot of fatal highway crashes.

Here's a Forbes article (sorry) doing some of the back-of-the-napkin math. They estimated that in Q3 2019, autopilot really wasn't any safer than manual driving.

I'm going to be charitable in interpreting your answer, but, if I'm being honest, I find your tone very dismissive... (I would even say, reminiscent of StackOverflow, and not in a good way.)

We could easily get into arguments over the specific uses of committing empty directories against the difference it ends up making in terms of stability and extensibility. Instead, consider that: 1) this behavior is very surprising, and 2) it offers no advantages to users, only disadvantages to some. Hence, it is unergonomic. My complaint was precisely that for extremely popular tools (such as git), it is worthwhile in general to sacrifice ease of implementation for ease of use, because the developper effort is amortized over the number of users.
Game of Trees
Because, as the parent poster said, everything is immutable except the working directory. The working directory is the default place where all the work is done, as the name suggests. You have to explicitly move things from the working directory to the other areas in order for git to recognize it; the default is "do nothing".

On top of this, various git commands can delete things you've done in the working directory without any confirmation or warning (e.g. "git checkout [filename]"). And of course, so can various non-git commands (e.g. "rm [filename]"). If that happens, the work is permanently lost if there isn't another backup mechanism in place.

So they're not wrong, but the second sentence's implications are kind of glossed over. It's always confused me that git lets you lose work so easily, so a very long time ago I've always just made sure to put all of my programming projects in a Dropbox folder. I rarely mess anything up that badly with git, but for the few times I have, Dropbox version history has definitely saved me.
A 20% grade is probably unachievably steep for ordinary railways. Even a 5% grade is considered remarkable.

Wikipedia says (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saluda_Grade):

Saluda Grade is the steepest standard-gauge mainline railway grade in the United States.[1] Owned by the Norfolk Southern Railway as part of its W Line, Saluda Grade in Polk County, North Carolina, gains 606 feet (185 m) in elevation in less than three miles between Melrose and Saluda. Average grade is 4.24 percent for 2.6 miles (4.2 km) and maximum is 4.9% for about 300 feet (91 m).

Unless you're gonna build that mountain style with gear drive and toothed tracks, you're probably looking at 5% grade and a 20km ride, which drops you down to ~140kW for 2 hours.

Ion the other hand, it seems you can get 11 thousand tonnes in a coal train:

https://www.australianmining.com.au/news/%E2%80%8Bnew-coal-t...

So on my 5% grade track I could get 1.5MW and if you can get your 20% grade to work that'd be just over 6MW
A lot fewer ads. A lot more paid services.

Personal identification via the internet would be more streamlined - basically government backed digital is cards.

Windows would rule - more or less.

Usenet and IRC would be things.

The big issue was not understanding the importance of ads. Or the impact. We imagined the web would oriented towards machines talking to machines.

But machines don’t consume ads. So APIs are second class citizens.

We also expected a lot more offshoring.

yes, it will always rock fore and aft to some extent, but consider the difference between applying a drag to the front of the vehicle or the rear. Try this on a bicycle if you have the time.

The "squat" you see on accelerating FWD vehicles is something different called wheel climb I think and is related to the effects of braking and center of gravity that we are discussing. When you gun the throttle, the wheel torque applies an opposite force as the wheels are turning in relation to the car. This causes a lever-like interaction forcing the front up and the rear down. During the engine brake maneuver the situation is reversed, as the torque is reversed in this scenario.

Imagine you had a car with independently activated front and rear brakes: Its trivial to understand that in a front-brake it will cause the front of the vehicle to tip forwards, and the rear will respond by tipping upwards. This unloads the rear suspension causing excessive camber, reducing tire contact, and if you were applying the brakes here, braking performance.

If you apply only rear brake, it will cause the rear wheels to pull their suspension downwards tipping the car rearward somewhat. As the stopping vehicle weight then pulls on the rear axle load, it applies a weak lever-like corresponding downward force on the front axle, reducing your center of gravity over the front-brake scenario. This will improve your handling performance, like I said.

Additionally, highway vehicles are designed with proportional braking that applies more of the braking force to the front rather than the rear. This, among other reasons, is why you can fishtail when you slam on the brakes. If you want to try it out, pull your ABS fuse the next time it rains, snows or there is some other slippery conditions and tool around in an empty parking lot.

This is why power braking is more suitable for RWD vehicles. It alleviates some of the effects of proportional braking and maintains a more favorable center of balance and suspension geometry.

It isn't that it doesn't work on FWD vehicles (It works well, and I did not mean to imply that it did not) only that RWD vehicles preserve more of their handling with this maneuver because of the facts regarding how a vehicle's suspension and center of gravity respond to braking and suspension load.

Since most of Deloitte employees are travelling consultants who travel to client sites Monday to Thursday and only go to the Deloitte office on Friday, I don't think it would make much of a difference. If you are a client of Deloitte and the client wants you in their office, you would still have to travel to the client site.
