Wow - any software system that is used to submit evidence to the court should have a preferably cryptographically secure chain of custody of all artifacts - including the raw recorded audio and the code used to process it. Any manual 'post processing' should be tracked down to a person, a date, and a verifiable reason for making changes to the model/decision. For 'black box' models an independent organization should be able to test them to confirm stated accuracy/precision.

I don't think the answer is to do away with these systems but as we yield more and more authority to machines regulation will need to catch up so they aren't just used a fig leaf for corroboratory-evidence-as-a-service.

This video is bullshit. The 1:20 ratio for battery weight is nonsense. A Model 3 long range has a 1060 lb battery vs 20 gallons of gas which weighs 126 lbs. So it's more like 8.5x. Also he doesn't take into account the simplicity of an electric motor vs a ICE engine. e.g. an electric truck doesn't need a transmission, so there will be a lot of weight savings there.
112 actually works in the US too, on mobile phones anyway, as it's part of the GSM standard; it just gets forwarded to 911. It should work pretty much world-wide.
In Germany you take chemistry from year 7 onwards usually.
Nice! For others not in the artery of electronics, System76 and Purism offer Linux-first laptops, rather than stuff that just happens to be compatible. Support them!
A lot of people in Japan drive "kei cars". These are very compact, have tiny engines and are very simple and cheap. (Not to mention the registration incentives). Until electric cars become simple and cheap, they won't be able to compete with "kei cars".
it might make more sense to use this to transport batteries while using them? Since the batteries are rechargeable - that would help the truck run and also transport the battery. Win-win.
Thanks, I was curious about that. Key quote for others:

> [...] Tesla would need a 600 kWh to 1,000 kWh battery pack to produce the Semi’s 300-mile (483-km) and 500-mile (805-km) variants. Since a 600 kWh pack weighs about 8,000 pounds (3,629 kg), it would eat into payload as Class 8 trucks have a total weight capacity limit of 80,000 pounds (36,287 kg).

That would mean 6050kg for the 500 mile range. The video estimates it at 17t
Who says if and how many "we" need? No one seems to be asking the actual people living there (e.g European), it's all arbitrary decisions made by Germany or some E.U council.
Last time we actually asked the people in a referendum what they want (Brexit) we were all surprised. Let's not assume we know what the majority wants.
It can be used to transport battery while using it?
Unless you are aware of any breakthroughs in fundamental physics or neurology which are being kept from the rest of us, “free will is an illusion” is not a very useful theory when it comes to public policy.
Green hydrogen is a way to store more electricity (effectively) in a car than can be stored in a battery. More range, and less weight.
Automotive EE here.

Whoever is saying electric vehicles has reduced complexity has no idea what they are taking about. Literally none. It’s complete fantasy.

The THEORY you could make an EV less complex is probably true, but the REALITY is not.

There isn’t a single EV in the world today that is less complex than it’s non-EV relative.

Chrysler and GM EV and HEV specially I’ve worked on both have entirely separate bus systems just for the power train, this is on top of the already existing PT bus that the ICE vehicles all have. The battery heater, the battery pump/cooler, the multiple charging systems, the additions to the transmissions systems, the ABS systems with ICE that handle stability control were already complex, now more so because they are entirely new devices that bring in regenerative braking and efficiency. All the software has changed around target torques/rpm/target gear for mileage. There is no other brand that defies my assertion.

Literally everything in an EV is more complex. Didn’t have to be, but is.

Edit: lol first hand knowledge of complex systems, physical layout, mounting, diagnostics, wiring, their signals and data patterns… nope, wrong! Classic HN
I checked a number of ID.3 in depth reviews. The vehicle looks so anachronistic by today's standards on the inside. It's best to say is a first gen mass market EV coming out to market in 2021.
For example, it has a 12V lead acid battery, and equally anachronistic 12V electric system.

https://insideevs.com/news/464773/how-0783-update-avoids-id3...

ID.3 is a botched, very hastily engineered car WV put onto market as a placeholder to have just anything in the EV category before they can engineer something proper.

Tesla famously has a lead acid secondary battery too, but we can take that Model S is the first mass market EV.

None EVs I've seen in China had a lead acid 12V battery. Even hybrids used lithium pack as the main battery for everything.
Parked ICE cars burn down too, here's an example where a completely stationary car caught fire and caused $100M in damages.

Minor nitpick: The files are initially stored with zlib compression. Each "commit" stores the entire file.

The compression into a packfile is where the diffs between files are computed and stored.
Unplug. Exercise. My only good research was done during the time when I was physically and mentally fit. There is a tendency (especially in CS programs) to think that more hours will help you solve the problem. This is not always the case.

The other thing is to prioritize long-term tasks first. The biggest problem with a dissertation is that it is a large, complicated project, on a scale most students haven’t experienced before, even in a communal setting like software engineering. You really do have to wake up and start writing in order to get the work done. I found the old productivity blogs that championed 3 Most Important Things to be a decent way to frame the world.

For tooling, I found Todoist and Trello useful. Zotero for citation management. Having a lab that uses Slack (or another collaborative space) really accelerated my work.

Final note: don’t avoid your advisor if you don’t have the work done. Be up front about what you do and don’t have done. Your success is their success. When you succeed, you prove that they made a good selection. No one wants you to fail. Research is a moving target and you’re not always going to make deadlines. Figure out how to keep everyone in the loop so that you keep a mindset of learning at the front, rather than a mindset of “falling behind”.
>I am using WSL because I want games and Windows-only applications. Dual boot seems too inconvenient.

Depends what you play obviously compatibility wise, but proton under Linux is getting extremely good.

For a while gaming was my excuse for not switching to Linux full time, but currently everything I play I can manage to play under Linux at effectively the same or better performance. (CS:GO, Rocket League, Risk of Rain 2, FTL: Faster Than Light, osu!)

I still have a dual boot setup just in case (And a windows VM available for checking compatibility), but I've gone months without needing to boot into Windows and my tailored experience under Linux is far more efficient.
More and more things are defined and associated in terms of other things already known (a higher level of abstraction), compared to youth where everything runs closer to the metal.

They probably refused new experiments because of this. It's better to have one test with this result that you can refute as a one off result that hasn't been replicated than dealing with multiple tests with the same result.
Is this a Google Workspace account? If yes, why is it showing some vague messages and not directing to human help (which I understand may be almost impossible to get with Google)? Do you pay Google and still get no proper customer service?

Swappable battery packs seem like a good idea. It might even be faster than waiting to pump 100 gallons of fuel.

I'm thinking existing truck stops would have a better chance of working than the weigh stations. let's leave the government it, they are barely competent at weighing a truck. Some trucks might not see a weigh station for a week. Some stations are nothing more than a pull out on the side of the road.

The internet is a tool that I’ve again become tool of, it seems. The fuller context of the quote I was searching for I think still applies as much to IDEs as emacs. Lisp is arguably a more solid and earthly foundation.

But lo! men have become the tools of their tools. The man who independently plucked the fruits when he was hungry is become a farmer; and he who stood under a tree for shelter, a housekeeper. We now no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven. We have adopted Christianity merely as an improved method of agri-culture. We have built for this world a family mansion, and for the next a family tomb. The best works of art are the expression of man’s struggle to free himself from this condition, but the effect of our art is merely to make this low state comfortable and that higher state to be forgotten. There is actually no place in this village for a work of fine art, if any had come down to us, to stand, for our lives, our houses and streets, furnish no proper pedestal for it. There is not a nail to hang a picture on, nor a shelf to receive the bust of a hero or a saint. When I consider how our houses are built and paid for, or not paid for, and their internal economy managed and sustained, I wonder that the floor does not give way under the visitor while he is admiring the gewgaws upon the mantel-piece, and let him through into the cellar, to some solid and honest though earthy foundation.”

The key difference being that Detours is a library written by Microsoft engineers with access to the Win32 team and the ability (if not drive) to ensure that Detours functions correctly as changes are made. Those changes are also probably pretty rare, given Win32’s famously stable ABI.

This library patches a third party runtime, one that explicitly forbids this kind of instrumentation and has a famously unstable ABI.

You can do whatever you want to get your job done, and this is certainly one way to do it, but it’s absolutely a dangerous hack.
Hmm. There are still costs even with clever accounting. I'm guessing in that scheme the tax per unit energy would have to be lower than the tax on regular gas to make people bother with hydrogen.

I agree. We used the Toyota Highlander hybrid in the winter mountains of Colorado for our taxi service.

The expense and weight of batteries mean it makes more sense to start at the bigger, more luxurious end of the market and work down. It's also easier to sell a cheap car from a brand with a luxury image than an expensive car from a brand with a value image - hence all the halo hypercars that make a loss.
I just bought my first BEV, a VW ID4. It’s a much more comfortable car with a far superior feel when driving then any of the ICE vehicles I’ve owned. With the range it has I never need to worry about charging it unless we go on a road trip.

My wife and I are planning a road trip though, from Boston to Bar Harbor, Maine. After looking up the route on PlugShare I need to make one stop at a fast charger (about 30 minutes) somewhere along I-95. Hardly a big deal.
Ok genius, explain how exactly what the OP meant?

With a Tesla it’s only 20 minutes to get 80% charge. It would be more than sufficient to do the LA to SF drive. I’d imagine most people would want to stop at least that long during the drive just to stretch their legs.
Yes, that's a lovely idea.

EXCEPT for the absolutely abysmal "customer service" and "issue resolution" provided by the likes of Amazon, Google, FB, etc. (as if those so-called services even rise to the level of the ordinary defnitions).

IFF they provided real humans, with real time and authority to look into and resolve issues, this might be a good idea.

But since, in the real world, their business model is obviously to provide only the most superficial figment of anything resembling an ability to resolve issues, any such linkage would be absolutely terrifying.

Any inadvertent slipup, or even getting innocently hacked already result in disastrous loss of access to your own data and privs. Just today, there's an HN story of such an unrecoverable loss on FB & Oculus [1]

The only solution in light of these hostile policies on the part of FAANGs and other big tech companies is maximum fragmentation/segmentation/sharding of accounts.

It seems to me the article is worth the sum of its parts and any individual paragraph doesn't necessarily hold a conveyable idea by itself.

Some of your criticism seems to be directed at video length and not a clickbaity title. If a video takes 10 minutes to tell me a single piece of information, the title isn't the issue with that video.
Actually WSL2 might be a better target as it would enable some tweaking of the mapping. Did anyone have success implementing virtio communication through hyperv and mount e.g. a custom p9fs. E.g. to support ownership and attributes. What would be the best p9fs server to start with? I had limited success with p9fs on winfsp from cygwin some time ago due to the problems of mapping effective access rights correctly.

> But we know a 600kwh battery is 8000lbs.

From your own source it says 600kwh will only go 300 miles. Trucks are too big to use the existing supercharger network so a new one will have to be built for the truck to get any substantial distance.

> I'll generally go with the industry experts. Tesla has presold hundreds of these trucks to walmart, fedex, etc.

Do you have details on the terms of these deals? Dollars to donuts these companies can opt out without penalty. This is just a mutual marketing scheme between Tesla trying to seem like an industry leader and these companies trying to seem green.

Generics introduce complexity. That’s pretty undeniable. There are also cases where generics provide much better solutions to problems. That is also undeniable.

As someone who’s working in a Go codebase at work, I’m happy they added generics, especially in the way they did. It’s a pretty minimal subset of generic functionality. I will apply it in certain cases, mostly to reusable code. I think it’s a big win overall though, without introducing too much complexity to the language.
> Soon after another vehicle pulled up alongside, and someone in a passenger seat took out a gun and shot Herring in the head, Williams told police.

Have you also found other videos by the author to be "10 minutes of tiddly little bits of information"?

I think Veritasium makes some of the most valuable and informative videos out there. Definitely not the kind of channel that i would consider "baiting" with titles and then disappointing with the video content itself.

His views on video titles' "clickbaitiness", given the state of affairs of Youtube recommendation algorithms and the "competition" for viewers' attention, seem pretty on point to me.
Sounds like one of the modern colloquial definitions: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cope

Tough to put in words really. Maybe it could be rephrased to "I found that he is trying to legitimize clickbait", however the second part of the sentence says that too.
