> The new Rav 4 Toyota Plug-in Hybrid is really amazing. 42 miles on electric, gas for the long road trips.

For comparison, the Nissan Leaf E+ is quoted[1] at a full-charge mileage range of 239 miles.

> Electric still has the issue that you have to charge for like 40 minutes on a long road trip, which personally seems more frequent than I would like.

Agreed, stopping often to charge can be a hassle, but if you only have to stop once from SF-LA (perhaps taking a break and having a bite to eat while away from the wheel), that'd seem fairly reasonable.

Worth also noting apparent conflicting reports about the emissions claims made by PHEV manufacturers; see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54170207 ("Plug-in hybrids are a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'") for two different points of view.

ah i see you have one of the new phones, as an aside, ATT decided for me to disable my phone that had no problems and sent a phone that is now never more than three bars and usually two bars, and needs recharging daily.

this phone [alcatel flip], surprisingly doesnt have the battery glued in.

in the case of battery glued in you need a nonconductive shim to jam between the contacts
So funny this pops up. Last few days I've been wanting a new notes app that wasn't using some database and was files based, plus I feel like other notes app rich text copying and pasting notes can be a mess. Plus a bit unorganized so wanted a new notes app and just copy things over as I need. This one looks pretty prefect for my wants.

I also like how it has both folders and hash tags too instead of being forced to pick one over the other.
That's useless, debugging a NPE is about figuring out where the null originated. Breaking on the exception is too late.

Japan's business and bureaucratic culture continues to fascinate me. On the one hand, they're well known for agile lean manufacturing that can adapt, like you said. Also construction costs, extremely advanced trains, etc etc.. On the other hand, they're very resistant to change. See fax machines, website aesthetics, personal stamps (there's a Japanese word for these that I'm forgetting), tons and tons of paperwork, not leaving until your boss does, companies being run by families, the list goes on. I don't know if I really have a conclusion, it's just that I don't get how it all works together. And given their GDP growth, I'm not sure if "works" is really the right term either.
The issue, though, is that if you look at most causes of significant inflation, while people like to blame "money printing", it is actually almost always a big supply shock that is the root cause.

With rental housing, there are 2 major supply shocks:

1. Much new housing was put on hold during the pandemic.

2. Critically, the eviction ban over the past 18 months has absolutely killed many small time landlords. Any prospective small-time landlord would certainly think twice about getting into the business now, and many existing small-time landlords are doing everything they can get out. It doesn't help that landlords are basically demonized by a large section of the political class. The end result is this: https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/selling-out-america...

So, at the end of it, it comes down to basic supply-and-demand, and the supply side got crushed.

Different people may have different ideas about what “the science is settled” means. In many political discussions, the phrase actually is used to argue for or against the quality of the data. Often, when discussing climate change, or perhaps even evolution, the phase is used to say the data is clear, the earth is warming, or all living organisms share a common ancestor. Likewise, I think the science is settled that vaccines save lives. And the science is certainly settled that heavy and light objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

Being skeptical that “the science is settled” because of some poorly understood edge case makes it very difficult communicate where there is uncertainty, and where there isn’t (because the data is clear and the science well understood).
Tesla charging options are only plentiful is some parts of the US. In other regions of the US they are sparse even along interstates. In some regions with this property, like the mountain west, road closures that incur very long unplanned detours are a thing you have to plan for even as an ICE driver. Those detours can take you a long way from a charging station but you can find a gas station in just about every podunk town of 300 people.

There is a chicken and egg problem here. In parts of the country that rely on sparse networks of gas stations for their cars, few people would buy a BEV unless all of those gas stations simultaneously added chargers in the complete absence of local demand.

There's some truth to this in the sense that a single die would almost always have better performance than chiplets, but chiplets also reduce cost and they make larger core counts possible. A single die literally can't fit more than ~48 big cores with the associated cache and I/O, so 56, 64, or 96-core processors are only possible using chiplets.
I disagree. The canonical example here are p-values. Completely valid and accepted interpretation which will forever be abused. In the medical realm, we see the same things with false-positive and false-negative rates causing massive confusion. An even more recent example is COVID vaccine efficacy. I would take the bet that 90% of the general population could not give the accurate definition of what the definition of efficacy is.

> One common failure mode? Treating data that was known to be of poor quality as if it was reliable because good data was not available… they also use the poor quality data to assess the resulting models.

This drives me nuts. Spend $10k getting high quality data and throw a simple model at it? Nah, let’s spend a month of time from someone making $400k/yr for less trustworthy results. And on the blogosphere it’s even worse. ‘This is the best data available so here goes’ justifies so much worse-than-worthless BS.

And don’t even get me started on the ‘better than human’ headlines that result.
You're saying that for humans it requires perhaps 30% additional learning effort but for computers 9900%, and I'm supposed to accept the 30/9900 discrepancy because… what?

When I learned to drive a car, I lived with an uphill driveway in a town whose winter climate varies by the hour. It's quite normal there to get temperatures around zero, some rain, then the temperature drops and 20cm snow fall. So on a January morning I often had to start the car uphill on steel ice covered with water and snow. With a sharp curve as a bonus.

That kind of start isn't the simplst, and you could persuade me that that kind of thing is as difficult as navigating an intersection with ~10 other cars, cyclists and pedestrians. But not that it's tens of times as difficult.

It seems that there’s a unspoken presupposition of “evolutionists = reasonable person” vs. “creationist = unreasonable extremist”

The issue with this presumption is that it is the exact same cognitive deficiency usually attributed to creationists or religious extremists for that matter, that is lack of critical thinking.

It seems to me that whatever idea/ideology that is religiously accepted without any critical think, let it be a story about origins, political beliefs, or even OOP, is as pernicious.

In the spirit of avoiding an echo chamber a book comes to mind: “Where the conflict really lies” by Alvin Plantinga, award winning American philosopher, where he shows some areas in which religious attachment to evolutionism, that is, the application of the theory without critical thinking can actually stagnate scientific progress by closing paths of the exploration even before they are considered.

Let me be clear that I’m not arguing for evolutionism or creationism or anything, just pointing out a cognitive bias we can fall when something is accepted without critical thinking

I don't want to print on a breakpoint, that is again useless, the cause of the problem might be far removed from the location of the exception. I want multiple breakpoints, each of which prints data, so I get a log of the behaviour of the relevant parts of the program overtime.

You can get castles (_châteaux_) cheap in France.

Does putting more money into people's pockets make rents increase? All else equal, this does occur in the short-term. In the long-term, housing developers want to build more housing to get a cut, which increases the supply of housing and slows rent growth. This hasn't been happening because of segregation-era zoning laws which outlaws denser housing in areas where they are needed.

> Neal Bawa explained that rent prices follow housing prices with about an 18 month lag.

I'm assuming that has a lot to do with leases and rental contracts? If you have a 2 year lease I can't raise your rent until it expires even if the property increases in value 10x during that time.

The server runs Proxmox, some of these services are separate VMs, others are running as Nomad jobs. I also have a dedicated development VM which I can access remotely through the VPN wich is pretty nice.

My son wanted to login to the desktop AirBnB because I wanted a PDF of a receipt, which he couldn't get on mobile. He logged in using his Google account on his phone. On his Windows and Mac laptops, with Chrome and Firefox he got errors. He just couldn't login. We cleared cookies, everything. Rebooted. Nothing would fix it. Of course, to start a chat with aBnB you need to login...

So, I agree. Every service should have separate credentials.

If it keeps this out of production in even a handful of companies, that's probably a good thing in aggregate.

It's a neat blog post, shows interesting internals, and no - you should not do it.
If it is simply protectionism, it is a particularly foolish one in the annals of economics. EV / alternate energy / grid storage is in "mature production" stage of full industrial scale-up, and is basically already at price parity (EV vs ICE drivetrain) or dramatically cheaper (Solar/Wind vs Coal/Natural Gas). Some solid state battery will hit production, and economies of scale are still in growth phase.

I imagine Toyota, the largest US car maker and probably globally the largest, is in deep trouble and is in total denial about it. Hitching your future to hydrogen which at it's best is probably about equal to EVs in cost, and which is so far behind practical use as a fuel that by the time (10? 20? years) a generation, transport, and fuelling infrastructure was built out, EVs probably will be 1/2 the cost they are now.
I’m guessing that it’s because it’s harder to move, let alone find a new place to live, during a pandemic and lockdown. Landlords suddenly found themselves having a customer base which are all isolated and locked down at home.

> A Diesel can be refilled in 5 minutes, a BEV takes at least 30 to 60 minutes

Electric vehicles can be charged at home and at the office, thus eliminating most refueling stops.

IMO this is a fantastic feature. I don’t own a car currently, but in my previous (gas) car, I always dreaded that refueling stop and would typically put it off until the car was running on empty. The ability to fuel my car while it is parked is a significant benefit in my book, and certainly outweighs the road trip hassle of slower charges.
But you have to generate electricity in order top split water to get hydrogen. You are better off just building more HVDC lines to distribute the electricity to where it is needed.

"....you can argue it's not actually work, as your labor does not produce anything of value"

I think if we follow that slippery slope, employers might as well not pay salaries if they felt you weren't terribly productive during a given pay period.

Again, I'd hate to find out that an employer has this attitude toward honoring contracts as you suggest workers do.
I think it explains why the established automakers don't take any of the aspiring automakers from tech seriously. They know how hard it is to supply, assemble, and mass produce a car, and they know how little investment to desire there is from big tech to be better at that aspect.

The reality is that when "fingerprint evidence" is brought to court that it's not foolproof and has a sizeable margin of error that should be accounted for when considering the verdict, something that is currently often ignored. You can argue semantics all day, but that's the way things work right now. This seems like an exceedingly pedantic point to make.
I don't see why small landlords are relevant to a supply shock here. If supply has been effectively destroyed by people not paying rent but also not being evicted, that should affect everyone right? In other words, it'd only matter if the bottleneck is the amount of capital buying houses to rent coming from small landlords. We all know that's not the case though, the bottleneck is the actual supply of housing.
