> But why are you calling it a hack fix?

My first question would relate to "dezincification". A chemical process where the zinc leaves brass and leaves a copper sponge behind. Does the coolant cause dezincification? Is zinc tolerable in the coolant?

Learned this one in my home when my city water dezincified a kitchen faucet causing water to escape through to "solid" surfaces.

My second question would be about how that female threaded material holds up under vibration over time.

That said, I'd might accept this as a fix if I broke my own car and just peek at it once in a while to see if it was weeping. But if someone else broke my car, fixed it like this and told me it was good enough I would not be happy. That's the kind of confusion I get for thinking with meat.

> and virtually always due to genetic mutation within the affected cells

I haven't followed up on this, but I seem to remember hearing about research about 20 years ago that even with cancer-associated mutations, cancer usually required physical damage to the intercellular matrix before it would manifest.

If that's true, I’m not sure identifying the genetic mutations as the cause (at least the proximate cause) of cancer might not be entirely accurate, or at least might be somewhat misleading.

If Britain can't open up after a mass vaccination campaign, what was the point of the vaccines?

600,000 Brits died in 2019 from any cause, 1,643 per day:

When you're looking at 20-40 dying per day with COVID, its a completely negligible value, really a function of how widely the testing is being performed, and lower than the average annual deaths from influenza, which is about 70 per day:

This is ironic, since Portugal was always a big supporter of South Africa apartheid regime. Mostly people with monarchy flags on Facebook.

> after all, only 152 deaths have been registered by COVID, and only 4 were subject to autopsy

Classic nutter talking point. Autopsy all the people! 80-years-old with pneumonia comes into ER and dies? Better autopsy that person to make sure it's the disease that killed millons all over the world. Coming from the same people that rail against unnecessary government spending.

> After all, wasn’t this what the “Revolution” of April 25th was all about?

This is a twofer: quotes around "Revolution", to mark their fascist tendencies, and the thought-terminating cliché to end all thought-terminating cliché. This particular phrase is a meme since the revolution.

Just in case you have doubt this was boosted by rabid right-wing anti-vaxxer nutters, there's this perl:

> Your peddling FUD. Just because you touched something in a way that wasn't specifically authorized by the original manufacturer of that something doesn't make you liable for anything that something does in perpetuity unless there is evidence that it's actually your fault.

I dunno. I think if I walked in with some random "brake rotor" that wasn't like any of the OEM or aftermarket ones they were used to seeing, the mechanic didn't know much about and couldn't verify would work sufficiently, even if it bolted into place, they might tell me to take a hike. I expect they would do a similar thing if I wanted airbags that went off replaced with something that looked like it wouldn't work right. Or a gas tank that looked suspect.

I know I would turn people away if I was a mechanic and they came to me with those requests. Maybe those items worked perfectly fine, but if I don't have assurance I'm making a good call (like, for example, by knowing I'm replacing components with parts that are trusted by the OEM or have a proven rack record), why would I take that risk, legally or morally (if I think the person is making a bad decision)? Some decisions impact safety (especially when dealing with components that have a lot to do with safety), and I think those deserve some consideration.

That doesn't mean Tesla should be the only entity allowed to repair though. Perhaps some of these components are perfectly fine, and you just need to find a mechanic that has enough experience with them to know that (but good luck finding the experienced mechanic instead of the one that doesn't care when looking around I guess, I'm not sure how you tell them apart). Competition is generally good.
It wouldn't work with existing systems. For example, out here in the West, center pivot irrigation is the most common. In a quarter mile crop circle, the arm takes a full 24 hour day to make a full rotation. The bigger 1 mile circles typically take a few days. This is too slow to rescue most crops from a long stretch of 110 degree days.

EDIT:

Nope! I'm mistaken. I found a newsletter in my inbox from earlier this year saying that there are companies doing exactly what you propose: making high speed irrigation systems for cooling. Here's an example:

I've been playing with Obsidian on Mac and really like it, so I'm excited to have it on iOS as well.

I also have hesitated to install community plugins on my Mac because of the scary safe mode warning (and also I believe plugins do have quite a lot of access to my computer).

Do community plugins have similar access on iOS? In other words, does iOS do a better job at sandboxing/silo'ing so that I can use community plugins on my phone without giving access to everything?

There is a reason Americans are willing to pay more for the system we have now, though it's not the one you mentioned. The U.S. health system is considered willing to go farther in treatment than socialized systems are. For example, say, giving 10 patients MRIs to detect one disease. If you're that 10th person, it worked out well for you, and if you're one of the other nine, you just had to pay more.

Anecdotally, a co-worker told me he had moved here from Canada so he could bring his father here to be treated for some form of cancer. He was not going to get that particular treatment in Canada, no matter what he was willing to pay. I am in no way saying that this treatment was necessary or helpful, though it might have been. But my friend perceived that he had more options for treatment here.

Second anecdote, a friend died of pancreatic cancer last year. Her doctor told here it was inoperable, and she had 8 months to live. She went to two other doctors and found one who was willing to put her through intensive chemo; she wanted to fight it. She still only lived 8 months.

In another country, she would not have that option, and maybe she shouldn't have had, because it was very expensive and it had less than zero benefit.

People can get more treatment options here, at a higher cost, for better or worse.

I felt that Defender and Robotron (designed by the same team) were on another plane of difficulty compared to other games of the era. They required more visual processing ability and faster reflexes owing to the speed and number of objects on the screen trying to kill you.

What messes with the perception is people buy used cars they could never afford new. An apples to apples comparison is what that same car would have cost new not simply what someone can afford because it’s new.

A nice new BMW SUV is likely to depreciate 30k in 5 years, but that same car is extremely unlikely to need 30k of repairs if bought after 10 years and kept for another 5.

More critically you’re also paying dramatically more in sales and property taxes.

If you're talking about a short-term rental to pootle around in for a while: they're on the hook for the car itself, because that's now a car they can't rent to someone else.

If they weren't on the hook for anything, there wouldn't be much of a business.

Why the assumption that the independant tesla repair people don't know this? It might be unknown to you but I assume that people who work with metals and liquids all day long (including coolant) would have some idea of their interaction.
The visual representation isn’t an accurate measurement of what the car is actually seeing, I think Tesla cleaning this up (which is has on the newest FSD) will be a clear way to show people what it sees. I’d like to see Tesla do more to calm doubts about this.

If you watch the full videos and not a mash up, you’ll see most drivers drive long routes without any problems with the software. It’s the edge cases you’re seeing and yes you can make a compilation with them and make it look horrible.

Honest question, do you think a Tesla that doesn’t recognize whats in front of it to 100% should stop in the road? I saw this recently with Waymo and it stayed blocking traffic until a Waymo tech arrived then the car tried to drive away from the tech. This doesn’t seem like the better answer to me, but I don’t have one.

As far as comparing it to a teenage driver, they are the most dangerous drivers on the road and Tesla’s happen to be the safest rated cars in accidents. Interesting combo.

Can you please link an article about FSD and deaths? There have been a few on auto pilot when the drivers are not paying attention but I’m not aware of a single FSD death.

Why can’t other companies make self driving software/hardware that a normal person can afford? All other options are insanely expensive and out of reach of anyone but millionaires.

Huh, so Copilot was trained on a mix of correct and incorrect code and it
learned to reproduce both correct and incorrect code. It's a language model,
after all. It predicts the most likely next sequence of tokens. It doesn't know
anything about correct and incorrect code. If the most likely next sequence of
tokens is incorrect, it doesn't care, it's still the most likely next sequence.

And I guess it makes sense that Copilot was trained in this way, even if it
wasn't just a language model. How do you even begin to separate correct from
incorrect code on the entire freaking github?

But I think TFA serves best to show the worst way to use Copilot. I haven't
tried it but I suspect that it would do a lot better if it was asked to generate
small snippets of code, rather than entire functions. Not "returns the current
phase of the moon" but "concatenates two strings". That would also make it much
easier to eyball the generated code quickly without too many mistakes making it
through.

Of course, you could do the same thing with a bunch of macros, rather than a
large language model that probably cost a few million to train...
Improving coverage is a good goal, although (depending on the codebase) I think it can provide a false sense of robustness.

Generally more coverage is good, yes; but there can be an element of risk around "testing two inputs in isolation", to borrow terminology from the article.

You may have coverage for every line of function A and every line of function B, but that doesn't guarantee that results of the two - when combined dynamically at runtime - are going behave the way that is expected and intended.

I like your idea about tests that are continuously searching. In theory I also think it'd be possible to have tests that run on a codebase near-immediately as a developer types (even between commits); ideally exercising the data flow paths that are most directly affected by each syntax tree change first, and expanding out from there.
Do you only drive like once a month or something? If you drive every other day or so then buying is the way to go...otherwise I agree, renting is probably going to be a better deal than owning a depreciating asset that you rarely use.

There are some drugs that target the underlying mechanism, herceptin is a particularly famous one.

Personally I have never taken Kratom but people I know who have taken it have said that the effects were minimal at best. From my own research into it, there is little to support it being both safe and effective. In fact, from a quick search just now, I found a lot of information questioning its effectiveness and safety. The CDC has concerns about it and they believe it has been the cause of a number of salmonella cases. [Ref: https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20180220/opio...]

I think Go was wise to begin by telling programmers if they care about these details they're being too clever and will regret it. Detailed memory models so far over-promise and under-deliver and the main justification for them is trying to squeeze out that last few percent of performance which is not what Go is for.

However:

> The first, exemplified by C and C++, is that programs with data races are invalid: a compiler may break them in arbitrarily surprising ways.

The problem isn't just the compiler. If you write code with a data race the CPU might break your program in arbitrarily surprising ways too. Go programs don't rely on your C++ compiler, but they do run on your CPU and not a virtual machine.

Is Go really going to be able to deliver defined semantics here in the face of that?

> The second, exemplified by Java and JavaScript, is that programs with data races have defined semantics, limiting the possible impact of a race and making programs more reliable and easier to debug.

This was definitely the intention. But, do the results match that intention? It seems like in fact Java programmers are still confused by what happened when there's a data race, even though the semantics of a data race in Java are more limited, they're beyond the conception of the programmer anyway.

Do you go less insane if you see only two Great Old Ones than if you were to see a host of them? Or does the distinction not make a difference?

Later this document proposes the new Go model should say:

> such races can in turn lead to arbitrary memory corruption.

That's a much worse outcome than in Java. So I'd be astonished if Go programmers are able to meaningfully debug a program in which a data race has smashed unrelated data structures. In fact, I'm dubious as to what difference is even left between "arbitrary memory corruption" and C++ undefined behaviour. Experts will sometimes draw on their experience to guess correctly what went wrong. Specialist instrumentation might help find your root cause. But these are the same in C++
