I mean yes, if you take that tautologically, since a modern car engine has a chip. But probably you could build an engine that meets modern requirements without. People forget how clever analog solutions can be. It would be a huge pain in the ass though, and take years.
The price of a new car is whatever the dealer is willing to let it go for. MSRP is a starting point, not the final price, which can be literally anything.
This made me smile, it sounds like a digital fairytale. A mathematical optimisation causing foxes to lead people to treasure, it sounds so surreal but insanely cool!
Yes, doubling your income and maintaining your lifestyle would make a huge difference. In many cases such an extreme bump isn't reasonably available.

I believe GP was more referring to the rough rule of thumb is to have 25x your annual expenses by the time you retire. +5k income versus -5k expenses, you're better off cutting your expenses. By cutting expenses, the target drops by 25xExpensesCut, and you're throwing an extra ExpensesCut towards savings, helping on both sides of the equation. Going from spending 95% of savings to 90% makes a huge difference on the timeline, but 50% to 45% is much more modest since the timeline for compounding growth is so much shorter.

Using 70k income, 50k expenses, and a 5% return, this would take about 30 years. [0]

75k income, 50k expenses goes to 25.2 years [1]

70k income, 45k expenses goes to 24 years [2]

150k income, 50k expenses goes to 10.6 years [3]

Another detail often forgotten about, salary is stated before taxes, spending is almost always after taxes.
That further increases the power of decreasing expenses.

Stopped reading as soon as she used the term "mansplaining". I can't take anyone who uses that term seriously. How about just write about the mead instead of trying to fit in with modern wokeness. If men are that bad maybe you shouldn't be using a recipe one wrote?

This woman appears to have a massive chip on her shoulder.

Edit: Oh whoops I forgot being sexist towards men is fine. If i swapped in a similar derogatory term for this woman that should be ok as well right? Yay DOUBLE STANDARDS!
Yeah, I have asked people “ can you visualize Obama’s face on this piece of paper?” They say “oh, yes-perfectly! -it’s like I’m looking at a photograph”
“Could you trace it and come away with a drawing that would compare well with a traced photo?”
They can’t, and I think they are over-reporting the fidelity of their visualizations.
Sure, anything is less catastrophic than an extinction event. Where's your threshold? Tsunami in Indonesia? Tsunami in Fukushima? Hurricane Katrina? Do those count as catastrophes?

The problem isn't that we're no longer able to launch new rockets - it's that anything in space comes to a standstill when it gets destroyed. How about GPS is suddenly no longer usable, with planes in flight and ships somewhere on the ocean? Weather satellites allow no more observation, with no more forewarning for hurricanes, and no reliable planning of routes by either plane or ship. What will be the impact of both on modern agriculture? No more satellite based communication, etc.
The data doesn't bear that out. Tesla's have consistently ranked near the bottom in reliability surveys and indexes. They're amazing cars, but they've got a long way to go on the build quality and reliability measures.
This doesn't make sense to me, product-wise. Putting on a bulky headset with limited FOV to talk to my colleagues feels like the opposite of a natural experience.

The cantilevering arm looks as though it wouldn't have any real overall rigidity for carving or for rapid, accurate motion with any kind of resistance... But I really love that this made it to hacker news because I feel like "hacking" doesn't exclude non-software hacks and it's always awesome to see hardware for design and making alongside all the other software news.

The idea of open source robotic assemblies or mechanical assemblies is another cool, separate thing. Another cool project I came across was the AR-1, AR-2, AR-3 series of desktop 6-axis robots. The inventor/designer made all the assembly docs open-sourced and sells kits or specs to make your own.
Yeah I quit reading as soon as she used "mansplaining". Not the sort of article I wanted to read.
I've always felt the defensiveness/unease from some in the deaf community is understandable, even if I think fitting kids with things like implants is a good idea. Being deaf, certainly up to the widespread use of the internet in the last couple of decades, meant that you were essentially cut off socially from mainstream society.

The vast majority of hearing people have no interest in learning sign-language unless they are related to a deaf person. You are, in a sense, a perenial foreigner in your own land, surrounded by people who you cannot communicate freely with and never will be able to (unlike a migrant who can learn the language). So you form communities with other deaf people with who you can communicate freely. Deaf culture has become something more distinct than simply a community of people with a shared experience within a wider culture, it's much more isolated.

Obviously hearing loss is on a spectrum, with varying levels of remediation available from aids and implants to lip-reading and speech training so the above is a generalisation. But especially for adults, things like implants are not a panacea, you don't suddenly hear perfectly. I have a friend who uses a combination of an implant and an aid, but talking with him still requires continuous extra thought and consideration to make sure he can follow me, and that I can understand his speech. A noisy pub or a free-flowing multi-person conversation with everyone butting in is still incredibly isolating for him.

The internet has changed a lot of this from what I've been told, with so much culture being online and in text, deaf people are able to interract with hearing people much more often and freely (and on equal terms) far more often, even if they have many of the same issues IRL that they have always had. But the seperation remains, and it's mostly a result of the hearing world's almost total lack of consideration or effort to accomodate (see the absense of a sign-language interpreter for UK government announcements as an example).

Despite all the ongoing censorship.
It's as if Twitter isn't the real world after all!
The "checkout" is downloaded in it's entirety, and you can still code away while offline.

What you can't do, at least today, is to jump between different workspaces, or prepare multiple different workspaces to be shared once you're back online.

I was on a 3 hour train ride just last week, with only intermittent connectivity available. Sturdy being online-first did not disrupt me nearly as much as than trying to hunt for documentation for the dependency that I was debugging.

I can’t think of any system in a car today that doesn’t use some chip somewhere.

Wouldn’t even power steering use it? Headlights?

Engines would have engine control units running some kind of real-time OS, anti lock brakes, anti traction systems, airbags, power locks with wireless keys. Climate control vs just “AC fan on”

Even some ignition systems have chips that do some kind of key exchange to start the car. (Yes you can bypass it but now you’re making a car that’s easier to steal)
Amazon marketplace, commoditizing the complement and differential returns
True.

In another context, I recall long conversations between different physical anthropologists in a forum about one person's unorthodox belief that humans' closest common ancestor is shared with the orangutan, not the chimpanzee. While there was some occasional irritation, for the most part the conversations were civil, and informative, because the person who held this view was very knowledgeable about the field.
What’s the app?
He has copywriter syndrome. It's an increasingly prevalent affliction most commonly found in young people who work in online sales. Other symptoms include narcissism, saying "crushing it", disregarding haters who are only going to hold you back, and finding potential mentors attractive a degree that's almost sexual in nature.

Car prices won't go back to normal again though. They will come up clever financing schemes to make people pay but the prices will never be reduced.
> SOCs in phones and game consoles are produced on very different processes than chips used in cars, no?

Yes, some of them are different. Consumer chips are not industrial norm, they have narrower environmental operating ranges.

The foundries producing automotive chips shifted production to consumer chips during the lockdowns, as the auto production lines were on hold. This caused supply chain disruptions. Add to that US > China IP export bans and you have a black swan event.
That's the same link as the Original Post.
I also found this curious. I don't have either of those in my kitchen or at my grocery store, but they're certainly available online.

They would be pretty noticable in the finished flavor, I imagine. Mead flavor is often best described as "delicate", especially in lower abv meads. The carmellization and yeasts are probably going to be the most notable flavors here.
To give you the nice experience of reading it as a Twitter thread maybe? /s
Recycling a mirror is much easier.
Recycling or improving the thermal chamber largely involves recycling high percentage pure (to withstand heat) metals.

Recycling embedded silicon solar panels involves breaking the glass from the substrate reliablely and safely.
Extracting the low percentage high value rate earths.
Then repurifying the Si from the expensive dopants to remake a panel.

Designing solar panels to make this easier losses vital efficiency percentages.

Not to mention most solar panels claim to pay for themselves in 100yr in some regions but have a lifetime of 30yr. So yes then recycling must be built into the model.

And of course common to both electrical motors used for panel positioning and orientation. Which are a common repairable and understood thing.
Parent was speaking of the chip shortage in general, which goes way past cars. Car manufacturers will do what they can to isolate themselves from the open market (and buy the numbers and have the political backing to do so), but demand for non-car parts affects allocation of production capacity to their demands too.

> designed to go in to Toyota cars?

Chips rarely are designed for a specific car, and a car will also contain quite a few that are not strictly specific to automotive.
> Agreed.

And it's such a banal obvious claim I'm making, and yet it's being downvoted to oblivion. I can't imagine cane toads doing anything I mentioned.. or even ants having some sort of hegemonic control over the fate of all other species.
Couldn't JPEG2000 do that? I think it's more a question of if browsers will actually implement it.
AWS is much more than EC2, though.
Yes you are right, nothing. However that is a different and much more difficult kind of attack than the common one where an attacker retrieves all the files stored on the server and goes away.

Also I'm really not sure if such a determined attacker could be stopped somehow... Any suggestions?
Your last sentence is depressing. We can't even muster enough e pluribus unum to combat a pandemic within the one nation that holds that motto on its great seal.

Kessler syndrome is a real thing, but this reads like FUD.
> I have never made mead myself however. Are the spices of so little consequence to the final flavour?

No, they do have an impact on the final flavor. I don't know what long pepper or grains of paradise taste like, or what the yeast will do with the flavor compounds. In my experience, the quantity of spices in that volume will come through. I honestly feel like 20 cardamom pods will come through quite strongly, in my few years of experience of meads.
but stop and think for a second about all those short term profits Wall Street made by outsourcing all of our crucial manufacturing! Those congressional bribes don't pay themselves either! /s

the worst part is our government is rewarding them for bad behavior, the article mentions the billion dollar chip subsidy program. So these companies made money outsourcing and will now make more by bringing it back. Instead they should put a massive tariff on any chip not made in the US. Companies that invested here would be rewarded for loyalty
If you have a kid that's not a workable solution, moreover, safety is a huge issue on 2 wheelers.
Yes... What did you think the outcome of a government and academic apparatus largely incentivized by special interests would converge upon? Control the peons. Ignore industry.

Newsflash:
Insurers already do this indirectly; they're just exceedingly sneaky about it, and the only people who nerd out about it are actuaries. Further everybody is okay with it because quantitative risk management, math aversion amongst the general populace, and actuarial is pretty tough to slog through. The framework is there though.

Trust me, nobody reads acutarial papers for fun, because if they did, there'd be rage in the streets at some of the things these groups pull off with just the data being shared now. Prescription claim streams, hospital treatment records, driving metadata, logistics, HFT's buying order flows... everyone in industry measures population scale metrics and leverages them to nudge the scales of power in their favor. Shaping incentives down the line. If you don't believe me, ask yourself: why do you get asked so many probing irrelevant questions every time you sign up for something anyways?
No we got the joke. It's just not the place/a good joke. You're probably thinking of a site called reddit.com. That's a good place for "jokes".
What are these chips and what is preventing us from scaling up capacity? I’m not challenging that it’s difficult, but the reporting seems shoddy. Maybe I’m the only one who wants to understand this stuff, but these kinds of questions always seem obvious to me (same with COVID vaccine manufacturing).
It's a total lack of understanding of UX and a refusal to learn.

I don't see that as arrogance.

It's complaining about a cool thing someone did on Windows 11 while the world uses Windows 11 and offering the same alternative to Windows 11 as in 1999.

OP could have re-blogged it, rather than their not quite correct summary if blogging is where it's at.

And I also liked the meme's, I literally wondered where he got them from and how much time it would take. They were artistically well chosen and helped drive a good story.
AIs don't incarcerate people. People incarcerate people.
I don't think it's possible. At least not road-legal in Europe.

There must be hundreds of chips in a modern car: Engine, ABS, wireless key, cruise control, radio, audio, electric windows, gps, battery management, airbags, seat-belt check, sensors, climate control, ...
Think about how to do the risk calculation and figure out if it’s right for you.

Roughly what’s your expected worth times the subjective probability you’ll get a divorce. Also should probably include a scale factor or term to account for the up front legal fees and the later fees.

Now if not having a prenup come out as a risk adjusted loss say… -150k, then ask yourself if you’re willing and it’s reasonable to give your partner a gift of that size right now.

No you don't. I find OP's bold characterization of his co-workers inflammatory.
Below average in general means "borderline retarded"[1]. You are obviously not below average. Stop saying that, please.

I think the issue is because of people who care less about learning a topic deeply. Understanding why something works at all etc.
This might be the actual complaint of OP.
Controversy re: “Facial recognition technology can expose political orientation“
The expansion joints will throw off the center of mass of the entire shell, leading to a positive feedback loop of orbit decay and expansion compensation. Without coordination, this is catastrophic. However, coordinating nodes are light minutes apart, making timely coordination impossible.
"Easily"

At least for a snowy area, those numbers are probably on the high side for reliable transportation but not 2x on the high side.

Presumably, an EV would at least need a battery replacement well before that point.
The closest that can do both is probably MPCNC (https://docs.v1engineering.com/mpcnc/intro/).

it is built with that modularity in mind but as other commenters have pointed out building something for rigidity makes it slower and heavier. a cheap 3d printer like an Ender 3 in addition to the MPCNC makes more sense, especially since you can save on the MPCNC by 3D printing the components yourself.

The main benefit to swapping a 3d printer head onto the MPCNC would be the pretty massive XY size you can build the MPCNC out to. If you need to print really large, flat objects it is probably cheaper than a lot of alternatives. But at that point it probably would make more sense just to mill it out of wood anyway.
I would say it is more self perpetuating. With housing prices growing as they are, people are saving less for retirement and putting that money into their house with a plan to cash out, move to the country, and retirement.
I wonder how much trouble with notetaking stems from people trying a one size fits all method. Personally, I have three tiers of notes.

A physical notepad for meetings, random ideas, test results, that sort of thing. My goal is to write down items when I suspect I'll forget them in the next 30 seconds.

At the end of the day I'll take 10 minutes review what I've done, with the physical notes as a starting point, and log my activity and open questions per project. My goal at this point is to keep enough context to answer the inevitable "WTF was I thinking?" in a few days. Usually just taking the time to outline things means I can remember the key points.

Finally there is a team wiki where I record details per project. Feature wishlist, customer requests, work with other departments, Q&A. My goal here is to make sure my replacement isn't totally lost after I get hit by a bus.
What did you expect from a closed–source OS?
Electric vehicles are far simpler mechanically, so I expect they will last much longer.
Latency is the biggest problem with video meetings and I can only imagine it's worse with this.

In normal human interaction you can see people's reactions to what you're saying and doing within microseconds of taking an action, you can subtly and automatically adjust your presentation, your pace and your expressions to build greater rapport. Over video calls you need to introduce artificial pauses to make sure that everyone has caught up, and it's really jarring compared to being face to face.

how? can you capitalize on that upside somehow? sell them, live in a tent until prices are down?
Nimbyism exists, as do more concrete constraints in urban locations but...

The way house prices work, often, is more or less banks determining prices via mortgage eligibility. Banks agree that a house is worth X. They lend X. That becomes the price. Buyers tend to be available.

People are so quick to see that credit expansion fuels price inflation in other areas, even the economy at large, but somehow diminish or ignore this with housing.

Obviously, supply constraints avoidable or otherwise, affect supply. In any given year though, the supply of housing does not change a ton. Where they do, you don't tend to have wild inflation... though you do often see bigger houses.

It's impossible to decouple housing from monetary policy. Housing is one of the few ways that buying power gets from A to B, where B is not a financial institution or direct spending.
I sincerely believe this is actually a made-up problem. It has literally always been an excuse, not an actual issue.

My evidence: nobody EVER bags Google Docs over its terrible DOCX compatibility. It makes an absolute hash of DOCX.

Have you ever heard anyone complain of this? No you haven't.

The claim that this was the killer issue was always just an excuse.
>No infotainment, no digital dash, no touch-sensitive anything, as few sensors as is viable to still be road legal?

For compact/subcompact sedans/hatches and midsize sedans the OEMs typically make a super stripped down variant so they can advertise an insanely low "starting at" MSRP. Dealers don't typically buy a lot of them so they're very hard to find and you'll likely have little room to haggle on price.

Nowadays there's a pretty long list of mandatory electronics and everything has at least one bus network in it but if you want to minimize the number of extraneous modules on that network then a stripped down economy car is your best bet.
