I remember playing around with wolfram alpha. It was really interesting to see it search the web, render formulas and solve worded math problems. I thought it was really neat when it could calculate things like atomic weight of a compound or what something would weight on the moon.
The article this thread is on is a strong counterexample to your assertion. You may very well end up on the hook for a repair that isn't covered by the warranty.
Similar thought, i find it funny people call this hacky. It looks like it was well done. Also most auto-shops own a set of taps for jobs just like this.

Hacky too me would be using JBweld, while its a strong epoxy that would be getting into what i would call hack territory.
One important piece of historical context this article doesn't talk about: a lot of the undefined behavior in C is there for compatibility, not for optimization. C came out in 1972 while the first official C standard is from 1989. The standard had to be backwards-compatible with all of the major compilers, which had almost 20 years to diverge. That's the source of a lot of undefined and implementation-defined behavior.
> the default that's been taught is wrong

There's a big difference between you not liking something and it being wrong. You want to make the common case slower for everyone so that you don't have to learn one extra rule for your uncommon case.

> it strikes me as incredibly fucked that you need a separate memset_s to mean "I'm not fucking around". When I learned C, memset just meant, uh, set this memory, it was pretty straightforward.

I don't think it's ever worked the way you want it to work.
Why is it bad faith? The article is about a guy who leased a Tesla.
What you want right to repair to be, and what the law becomes is unlikely to have much in common - judging by other laws
You have my upvote. "Learning languages" by what people most often mean by the phrase is very different and distinct activity than learning letters. Yeah, you need letters to read and write, but most of the learning required to learn a language is spent almost entirely in a different modality.
Not necessarily financially, but in terms of accessibility. For example I've personally never heard of a festival like this nearby me, outside of music festivals perhaps. Going by the article festivals were once more of a everyone or almost everyone affair.
I've been having similar thoughts about I Ching. I even recently changed jobs because of I Ching. I was unsure, and then the interpretation of the hexagram I cast helped me think through the issues for and against. It occurred to me that if I had to explain this to someone, it's like a self-administered Rorschach test.
Drunk driving is already illegal. Claiming that we should ban all alcohol because people use it to commit illegal acts makes about as much sense as claiming we should ban kitchen knives because people occasionally use them for stabbing.

Besides that, FSD being less dangerous than drunk driving is a terrible benchmark.

Yes, agreed. I do not know if these behaviors are completely 'learned via indoctrination', 'learned via experience', 'enabled by particular character traits' -- or a combination of all those.

Also, even genetic traits can skip generations...

Certainly not, I am not suggesting that. I did not even mention a potential solution. One you are suggesting, has not been on my mind at all..

We ignore prior convictions when trying to determine whether the person actually committed the crime they're currently accused of. But if they're convicted, prior convictions weigh heavily in sentencing decisions - which is the part where "whether they will improve" is relevant.
The article is about CPU scheduling.
It's good to remember when you are driving for instance you might pass thousands of cars.

If someone does something bad, that's a very small part of humanity.

If you could do that one time in one thousand, that person is you.

It leads to design. Who hasn't vandalised something. If hundreds of people walk past something drunk every night build in redundancies, it doesn't mean people are bad, if a small part of humanity in a small part of their lives can screw it up then it's a design issue.

Personally I hate nothing more than ambiguous places to line up, it creates issues that don't exist.
Oh for sure, once these things have been around and there exists an aftermarket, there's going to be all kind of fixes and repair kits available once people figure out how these fixes work. I feel a lot more in accord with your comments.

I don't think its disingenuous or crazy unreasonable for Tesla to not support a repair like this, I kind of think they can't wrap their heads around it. Their service network is still very underdeveloped and they don't have the benefit of real-world repair data like everybody else. Their solution to everything seems to be "Replace the unit." It does indeed seem crazy that Tesla does service this way and has such a weak cooling port on such a critical component though.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that broken Tesla windows come only as the whole door, too.

The thing about the plastic repair is for real though, brass is the way to go. Nothing will make it less susceptible to this kind of damage aside from protecting and anchoring the cooling line in a much less dumb way.

The buy out on the black sheep cars can be a really good deal. Instead of lowering the price a manufacturer can artificially raise the residual thereby dropping the lease rates down.

They loose more money but they make up for it in volume and get to book profits now and losses later (financial engineering).

I don’t think leasing a 4Runner ever makes financial sense unless you flip though cars every 2 years and live in a high sales tax state.
> Anyone who genuinely is in a life threatening condition can receive treatment at NHS A&E hospital

This statement is false. People have died as a result of withheld life-critical treatment under the hostile environment, and not by mistake.

One immediately comes to mind who was in the middle of life-critical cancer treatment, when it was abruptly suspended by a hostile environment requirement, and then some months later they died as everyone knew they would.

What you are thinking of is emergency treatement, which is not the same as life threatening.

Unfortunately I also know of people who have avoided going to A&E despite facing a life-threatening emergency, preferring to cross their fingers than to risk being placed in prison ("detention centres") and later deported, when they turn up at A&E. After all, even if you get emergency treatement, enforcement sometimes turns up to take you away after the treatment before you leave hospital.

Whether that fear is justified or not, it is a fact that some people believe that it is dangerous to go to hospital, due to the messages put out by the "Conservative" government and the "embedded" immigration staff at hospitals. There are also pregnant women who ought to attend hospital for the safety of their child, but again, are too afraid to attend hospital due to justified fear of the consequences.

Another fine example: The Home Office sentenced a woman to death while she was still in a coma, saying she could recieve "palliative" care in the destination country instead of life saving treatment she was in the middle of receiving in the UK. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-immigrati...

In my view, it's not hyperbolic to describe those decisions as authoritarian bordering on totalitarian for those people.

But it's because it only affects a subset of people that most other people don't think it's a problem.

Those are completely different conditions to those faced by "any tourist". A tourist would receive life saving treatment in the above example.
Was going to mention lnav also. You don't even need to install or compile it. Great for that server managed by a contractor.

No I am not sure that plants don't go through pain. I am however quite sure that animals experience pain, and so I don't want my food system dependent on that. I am pretty unconcerned with wild animals eating other wild animals however, as that seems to be the way of the Earth. I am only concerned with humans confining animals and growing them for commercial consumption, as it is clear to me that we are capable of thriving without such cruelty.

Big props to any cow that eats a bird though.

>Damon argues (and I think he’s exactly right) that the prevalence of online relationships rooted in affinity or faction help explain our toxic politics.

Maybe online phyles *result* from political factions pushing them out of real communities, instead.

>Yes, politics matters, but if our prime answer to the loss of healthy friendship is political rather than personal, then the crisis will only deepen.

A reader who believes "everything is political" will see their own toxic practices vindicated by this, even though it suggests yielding politics to friendship. But it only suggests such as a last resort, when "you can’t fact-check, plead, or argue a person out of a conspiracy", rather than a principle of love. This tack does not inspire strength.
I'd take a different tack. It's like mathematics. (Hell, it is mathematics.) Every educated, conscious person should have some familiarity with, and hopefully curiosity about, math. In my opinion. Very few of us (certainly not including me) seem to have much in the way of natural aptitude for it, though. In fact, most of us seem to have an anti-aptitude. That doesn't change its importance.

I say that not because you need to do arithmetic (that's what calculators are for) or because you'll need to actually ever use the calculus they taught you back in high school (you probably won't). But because math underlies everything else. If a student comes out of their grade school math classes unable to do long division or solve a linear equation, but with an intuition for basic ideas in set theory and probability, I'd call that a roaring success.

In analogy to that, while you may not need to learn to code, I do think you need some computer science to understand the modern world.

I agree with you.

1) complexity of science grows every year.
It takes a life-time to become infection disease specialist, immunologist, financial guru, constitutional lawyer, environmental scientist.

2) sophistication of deceit also grows with time, if nothing is done (because the reward for the successful deceit grows with time).

3) myself, there is no way I can make my own decisions about complex things. I need pundits, that I can *trust*.

4) but with the growing sophistication of deceit -- how can figure out who to trust?

That's where the division between the two mind sets shows up.
Because what's relatively stable throughout the time -- are human character traits...

That division, in turn, later on creates the conflicts every so often -- as I mentioned.

You can often tell someone's age by whether or not they know analogies in this format. It used to be a staple of standardized testing on logical deduction.

A : B :: C : D

Is read as

A is to B as C is to D. The reader is meant to understand the relationship between A and B and how it's similar to the relationship between C and D.

An easy one might be,

basketball : hoop :: hockey puck : net

But they can get quite challenging. And with multiple choice answers present in standardized testing, you often have to understand the complex relationships between many abstract concepts, and evaluate that the abstractions are of a similar type or degree.

They're actually kind of fun.

Here's an example taken from [1] (the source also has excellent discussion as to why they were removed) :

PALTRY : SIGNIFICANCE ::

A. redundant : discussion
B. austere : landscape
C. opulent : wealth
D. oblique : familiarity
E. banal : originality

Yeah this can be a hard problem to solve.

In most managed languages to 'properly' deal with it you typically need to accept locking on some level (like with ConcurrentDictionary in C# or ConcurrentHashMap in Java).

One semi-elegant (yet internally complex) solution I've seen; in C# there is the language-ext library. All the collection types are structs (value types where things like .Add() return a new struct) however the struct itself just holds an implementation to a class. This works well from a user standpoint but the internals of the code is... interesting to say the least and can still lead to a lot of allocations if you're not careful.

Not really the debris is colliding with the car. Even a pebble hitting a wind shield can hit with quite a bit of force and is also a collision. Let alone larger debris on the road. Also both objects dont need to be moving for instance you can collide into a tree or guard rail.

> However, we are never going to live in a world of repaired devices.

This is not a binary thing. Devices are repaired all the time. For example cracked screens are one thing that people still repair. We already live in a world with repaired devices. The question is whether or not we should allow big companies that profit from new device sales to lie to customers and interfere with third party repair.

> Most people buy new phones every two years

I would suspect that "most people" do not. I did that when I was 24 and obsessed with having the latest tech. Now my phone is 5 years old and fine. Most people in the USA for example do not earn enough money to buy a new phone every two years. Those folks would love to be able to repair things and use them a bit longer.

> The better path, the one that Apple is pursuing, is improving the reclaim-ability of materials in devices.

This is not an either/or choice. Remember the phrase is "reduce, reuse, recycle". Recycling is fine, but re-using uses less resources and so should be a component of a real sustainability program.
