>share more or less 1:1 with Toyota, customers who who put very easy miles on vehicles

Like all the Toyota trucks used in military operations around the world? Those kind of "easy miles"? Comparing these two companies, with vastly different scales of operation, is kind of silly.
But the whole point is that the fox doesn't know actual distance, it only knows triangle distance.
Cars are 1.) expensive enough and 2.) required by many people to work in order to get through the day that, while plenty of people also want the latest and greatest, most value reliability and long lifetime a lot. (To the point where these are tracked pretty carefully by organizations like CR.)
No because I don’t need a new machine yet, but if I did I would probably delay. I much prefer 15-16” laptops. That extra bit of screen makes it reasonable to have two apps visible at once, while 13” doesn’t for me.

> Chips also go out of production suddenly (with only a couple years warning...)

No they don't, automotive semiconductors suppliers have an "obligation" to manufacture the component for at least 15 years, which makes managing the production output planning, spare parts etc. much easier. It's not like walking into your supermarket and finding out that your favorite brand of chocolate is no longer available. There are minor exceptions, and sudden changes in the demand might affect the immediate availability, but at the very least the part is almost guaranteed to be produced for 15 years with defined notice policies. Microcontrollers don't have a pin-compatible drop in replacement when they get discounted, but many different ICs do, like power supplies, transistors etc., so discounting them is not a big deal.

e.g.: https://www.nxp.com/products/product-information/nxp-product...

> Participating products are available for a minimum of 10 years from product launch (15 years from product launch for many products developed for the automotive, telecom and medical segments), and are supported by standard end-of-life notification policies.

I could imagine that this is a problem that women may not realise until it's "too late" – when they get to opening that credit card or applying for a mortgage. While Sequin would help address that situation if used in advance, is there anything that can be done at the point that it's already too late?

I find it funny and concerning that you must prompt the model to do an SQL insert 'safely' to avoid injection vulnerabilities. I'm sure someone in the near future will find a way to train models to avoid well known hazards such as the OWASP Top 10 [1].

The field of program synthesis based on NLP models is really starting to heat up - we have OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and a recent paper [2] from Google Research demonstrating that these same techniques can generate programs which solve mathematical word problems. Here is an example of the latter:

> Prompt: Please, solve the mathematical problem: a and b start walking towards each other at 4pm at a speed of 2 kmph and 3 kmph. They were initially 15 km apart. At what time do they meet? n0 = 4.0, n1 = 2.0, n3 = 15.0.

> Model output (python program):

n0 = 4.0

n1 = 2.0

n2 = 3.0

n3 = 15.0

t0 = n1 + n2

t1 = n3 / t0

answer = n0 + t1

I have been working with a FAANG recently, one that builds EVERYTHING in house. Almost comical. There are great engineers all over the place, but no cohesive strategy or overarching sense for product outside of a couple of niches. Not a great situation.
> If you get the wrong thing delivered it throws a bigger wrench into things because you don't have the buffer.

JIT, in Lean, does not mean no buffer, it means as little of a buffer as you can get away with. If you have issues with delivery like this on a regular basis, then you'd increase the buffer size (at least temporarily) and also take your suppliers to task for sending the wrong thing over and over.

The buffer size should be increased if any upstream supply issues exist that regularly cause a shortage. Ideally, you should address those issues themselves, but if you have and they can't (or won't) be fixed then you increase your buffer to accommodate reality. However, the shortage is itself a signal. Too high an inventory permits supply issues to persist without being addressed for a long time because you never get the signal about the issues with them (the downstream production slowdowns).
What's missing km the conversation is that said blog post can be summarised as "we have money to burn".

That may be true, but a bigger question is, "How much value does social presence provide?"

No doubt there are people who really express a need to meet in the same room with others; but as this new remote reality we're currently in has shown, quite a lot of people can get quite a lot done with just audio or audio+video meetings.

So is social presence valuable enough to outweigh the certain technical challenges, additional expenses and complexity, and other as yet unidentified challenges that would come with VR meetings? If I were betting, I would say no. (And I'm a fan of VR.)
The risk is that you will only be able to mill materials that are very soft; materials that could be cut with a pair of scissors (card, foam). Anything harder will be an exercise in frustration (friction rubbing instead of cutting, frame flexing, motors stalling, terrible tolerance).

That was my hunch as well. People who don't care about learning topics deeply. Understanding why something works etc.

I noticed that a lot in school/work. People can get good grades even without understanding the topic at hand.
Many learn mechanistically and succeed with good grades.

I do the opposite, but it takes time and effort to learn a topic deeply using the Feynman method. Many are not interested in this. Many just apply formulas and code snippets, and they succeed nevertheless. Good for them!

I actually don't care about success or grades or whatever. I care about the topic, because I want to understand why it works. This is just me though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Data-Mining Wikipedia for Fun and Profit
I actually ended up putting what you would expect in a conclusion in the introduction. The conclusion is actually pretty worthless in hindsight.
The article notes that Toyota avoided "just-in-time" supply for chips, and has benefited for a while from this. Their stockpile just ran out.

> New cars often include dozens of microchips but Toyota benefited from having built a larger stockpile of chips - also called semiconductors - as part of a revamp to its business continuity plan, developed in the wake of the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami a decade ago.
This blew my mind when I first discovered this.

The C++ standard allows compilers to assume that loops terminate. Since there is only one way to exit the loop (`return true;`) the compiler can assume that this line will eventually be reached. Since the rest of the loop has no side effects, the compiler can optimize it out.

So the compiler doesn't actually need to figure out if the loop is infinite or not.
LLVM optimizes out the infinite loop, because the C++ standard defines that all programs must be able to make forward progress and so removing this loop does not alter the result of the program. Thus, collatz() as written in the tweet will always return true when optimized by LLVM. This says nothing about the conjecture being true or not, it is solely an artifact of the C++ standard being written a certain way.

But also a layer deeper, collatz() takes a uint128 as input and the Collatz conjecture has already been proven to be true for all numbers that would fit into a uint128. So LLVM arrives to the correct answer (`return true`) because of the wrong reason, mathematically speaking.
Well, I am thinking of reinveinting around 12 lines of it to add explicit Docker/Compose support, but it’s been a year or so since any major changes other than minor tweaks :)

I love this on the page where you can download an early version of VisiCalc:

>You can download it to your PC and run it under Windows or DOS. It is only 27,520 bytes long (smaller than many GIFs and JPGs on the web).

Mind boggling when you think about that. One of the first "pro" gigs I had as a teenager was setting up a Commodore PET to run VisiCalc for my Mom's friend who ran the lab at the hospital she worked at. Wasn't even sure I really cared for computers that much back then; seems utterly foreign to me now that I think about it!
We're in this mess due to our never ending quest for more "efficiency"

The government needs to recognize the fact that semiconductors are essential to national security and ensure we have the capability to produce our own.

What do you mean "this is not reported"? Are you actually looking at the BLS inflation reports?

>, endless loops are UB and optimized away

That soundbite also repeats/paraphrases what thread author Joe Groff said "LLVM considers infinite recursion to be UB,"

But... the key is infinite loops without side effects can be optimized away. Endless loops even without a provable termination (The Halting Problem) are not UB.

But in this case, the value 'x' has a side effect of determining what bool of true/false value to return. That while() loop does not look like it's free of side effects.
Any chance this will get packaged up as a container instead of “pipx install”, then all the timers can just be in the container, and it can control via Docker socket exposed to the container?

If that interesting to OP then I might look into that one weekend soon.
My first computer/parents was a 386SX and a 20mb hard disk (almost all of my peers started w/ the Apple IIs, so I was late to this game). I begged by dad over and over to buy a 386DX, not a SX, but no luck on that.

There was something weird where windows wouldn't run in 386 protected mode. I was sure it was DX and SX, but this article has the assertion that protected mode worked with SX. I know my dad replaced the system, I assumed he updated the CPU, but maybe it was a bad mobo or something.

DIY computing to me will always be RLL/MFM hard disks with insane ribbon cables and IRQ toggles on ISA slots.

God, I am old.
Serious = harder (hence more useful) materials. As it stands I would say only materials that could be cut with a pair of scissors (card, foam) could be used on this safely without frustration.
Agree. I am on a 2013 15" MB Pro that has been my horse for a long time. I hated that last generation of keyboards, which held me back. Then the promise of the M1 chip has delayed me once again. I've never really champed at the bit to spend $3k before...

Really cool! What's the biggest differentiator between Sequin and a secured credit card? Me and my wife used the latter as the first step to help build our credit history...but admittedly the limit was small.
I managed to rescue a few shrinkwrapped, never open boxed copies of WordPerfect 5.1 that a place I was working at was tossing. Main reason was I wanted the templates that fit over the F keys on the keyboard - those were the ultimate reference cards :)
Even before EFI, almost all dirt bikes and snowmobiles built since probably the 1980s have had electronic ignition. You have to go pretty far back in time to find a vehicle of any sort with a points ignition that has no silicon/transistorized electronics in it.
This looks amazing! However, as other commentators say: right now there are not a lot of use cases for that. It will be hard to go to market because you'll have to create that market. I wish you good luck in that because potentially this can be something huge!
> Also, I cam probably fix most issues with tools carried on board on the side of road.

I think that is the largest appeal to me of older cars. There are only so many parts that can fail, and they are all repairable with some time and hand tools(and maybe a Haynes manual!).

(for people unfamiliar, a Haynes manual is a 3rd party manual customized for most makes/models of automobiles. It describes with pictures how to perform [almost] any repair.)
After seeing all these posts here and not hearing much about it outside of this space I’m starting to think that the cost benefit analysis that Apple did was that the profit from very likely convincing parents to spend a little more to get their children an iPhone as their first phone (and probably lock those children into their ecosystem) because of these features was greater than the amount of users who would switch to something else and that any blowback would be diminished because “what about the children”
No one is saying the government should start producing chips, but they can offer financial incentives to encourage chip manufacturers to build fabs here instead of overseas.
I mean sure, if I let the compiler do whatever it wants to my code in order to make it faster it'll make it faster, but then it probably won't do what I want it to do. I don't understand why that's acceptable.
>What do you mean by a "wow" factor?

I'm certainly no Tesla pumper, as you can tell from my comment history.

But to say that getting in a Tesla isn't a different experience than other cars is just wrong. They've done a lot of things differently, for better or worse.
Those laws don’t apply if it’s part of the reporting process. Apple’s stated that they do a manual to decide whether to send a report to NCMEC or not, just like other companies do.

It sounds like you're shrugging off the problem, ignoring the advice of experts who are suggesting we need to make changes now and deciding instead that you'll ask those same experts to fix the problem later when their predictions come true; allowing intuition, incentives to continue current behavior, and resistance to change to determine your course of action.

But intuitions fail when it comes to how mind-bogglingly big and fast space is. The volume you might need to sift through has an area equal to the surface of the entire planet and a height of thousands of kilometers. The objects you're trying to grab are moving at >20,000 km/hr. Low orbits do decay naturally in a few decades, yes, but MEO and GEO orbits can take thousands to millions of years to decay.

It's like being a war zone where bullets that are fired continue ricocheting through the air for decades, and these objects are moving ten times faster than a typical bullet (and may weigh hundreds of kg). We're laying a minefield and not even keeping track of where the mines are laid. The least we can do is to keep track of and share the satellite orbits.
Even for a nation, that is a lot of money - Germany's budget is about 500B €, a 10-20 B € investment would be a 2-4% of that.

I understand what you are saying, but in my opinion that doesn't really answer the question. For a phone to attach to a network, there is some level of bidirectional trust and those kill-switches aren't going to just arbitrarily activate. Has anyone at a wireless provider tested pushing OTA updates to those phones? Has the vendor explicitly stated that the phones will explicitly block by default any attempts at OTA updates or that the phones explicitly do not have the capability?
I have been toying with the notion of extending Piku (https://github.com/piku) to support multiple (i.e., a reasonable number) of machines behind the initial deploy target.

Right now I have a deployment hook that can propagate an app to more machines also running Piku after the deployment finishes correctly on the first one, but stuff like green/blue and database migrations is a major pain and requires more logic.
I would expect latency to be better because you don't need to send video data around, just some data to synchronize the 3D scene which is run locally on everyone's headset.

I have tried this, and despite my best efforts, its actually good.

the premise: Wiimes sitting in a room talking.

Expected outcome: utter shit show.

Actual outcome: Surprisingly good

Why is it good?

1) Audio.

you can turn to the person next to you and talk privately without interrupting the main flow of the meeting. There is none of this "no.... you speak......no.... you". You can interact normally like they were just there.

The spatial audio is top notch.

2) presentations

presenting is really simple, and you can see the people who are asking you questions. Not only that but taking Q&As is much better and quicker than on VC.

3) drawings, you can have a white board thats persistent in that meeting series.

yes, I know, yaaaa booo facebook sucks. But actually this is quite good, you should try it.
