Have you considered that Tesla actually has a process and good engineers and good models to understand their changes?

Maybe they are simply more dynamic, have better on the fly testing, more flexible software to manage their production, are more vertically integrated and have thus more control over their production.

The argument that Tesla had significant more quality problems compared to others really doesn't hold much water today. The fact is Tesla had far fewer problems with batteries and drive trains while delivering far more EV. People love to complain about minor panel gaps (that most people don't ever notice anyway) and ignore that Tesla has a very good track record in terms of drive train and battery.

Compare Tesla Model 3 to Leaf or the Bold that came out at the same time and had far more problems. Leaf had to replace all early batteries and Bolt is being recalled right now.

Tesla should get credit for this, rather then just them being 'lucky' or that Tesla costumers are just willing to buy broken products (another myth that doesn't hold up).

In terms of drive train and battery Tesla worse failure by far was that they had to under-power a number of Model S produced in 2017. There has never been a large recall of Model 3 or Model Y.

> But it means that people with disproportionate political clout would be taxed more heavily ...

Not really, you could do what the Jeff Bezos does: "0 profit" (by reinvesting everything) and just enough income to live (very well, but still). Meanwhile the stocks he has amass value (and he can trade stocks, which can't be a taxable event if you use the company to do it and "don't do it yourself", for good reasons (for example joint-ventures would become impossible if this were to be taxed)).

So you can still amass large amounts of wealth under these circumstances without getting taxed on them. Plus you can cheat by having the business pay for your expenses (and if you live for your job that's not even unreasonable).
I wish G7,G20 or the whole UN adapt carbon tax. I am afraid that it is something doomed to fail if adapted by individual nations (especially by those who aren’t polluting much by themselves).

If adapted by the whole world it would be such a wonderful thing both for environment and economies because it would incentivize development and adoption of new clean tech. Because otherwise people would simply “outsource” the pollution which is, of course, a ridiculous concept.

Sure. So I've spent a lot of time working with FRP things, e.g. with https://hackage.haskell.org/package/reflex with the github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk/ web framework. While FRP was sort of deemed to hard / a dead end in the early 2020s, it works well for me, and I still consider it viable.

I dislike effects because superficially they are about similar problems ("My whole-program needs side effects") but no amount of effects system stuff is going to ever get you to anything like FRP. In particular, the eeffects mind seems to be pretty narrow, something like:

"I have a bunch of regular-seeming code that does some 'extra stuff', and I need to manage those extra capabilities in a modular way that respects the principle of least authority."

By contrast, the FRP approach rejects the premise that:

- The programs basically look more or less "normal", but with (good) restrictions on what you can do

- The effects are something "side" or "extra".

It's hard to say exactly what it is about instead, but some guidelines might be:

- Don't just decompose a program into terminating parts (like terminating callbacks + magic event look). Embrase non-termination (well, co-termination), and think of new ways to be modular that don't carry over from terminating whole programs.

- Think in terms of "flows", be like a plumber. Try to directory program the steady state in terms of the large scale architecture, and not a regular functional--imperative program that "carries out" out the flows as a spec.

- - Actor-model-type stuff is wrong for focusing on the "nodes not edges". We should have simple components but rich networks.

- Try to find structure not in the effects themselves, but how you intended to use them. If the effects form sinks/sources, then have them be pipeline end pieces that compose just like the the pure middle pieces.

- Calculus is good for programming, after all. Time derivatives / time integrals are at very least good metaphors. We should all go learn more Control Theory for more things than "memory pressure".

I hope this helps.
> Economics is an attempt to explain how wealth and prosperity are created

To expand on the question's unknowability, "wealth" and "prosperity" are measures on a population's utility functions. "Utility" is an attempt at mapping the set of possible things a person could want to an ordered set [1]. This goes to the heart of preference, free will and consciousness.

Fortunately, at a population level, persistent effects do manifest. But we don't know why. Because at the individual level, they're inexplicable (if existent at all).

This is why, by the way, economics often finds inspiration in particle physics. Not because people are particles. But because it's a field that has developed techniques and methods that make useful population-level predictions without completely understanding the individual components.

I've just, I hope, arrived at the end-point of a similarly frustrating adventure into wireless earbuds that don't fit in my ears. I tried the Airpod Pros first, and like you the only way I got them to stay in for longer than a full minute was by jamming them in so hard it was painful to wear.

After trying several alternatives with similarly unworkable results, I just recently picked up the Anker Soundcore Life A2 NC and finally have wireless earbuds that are usable. The feature set is somewhat lacking vs. the Airpods Pro but is good enough for me. The sound quality is also a bit disappointing but still better than the frankly awful Airpods. I think there may be other options out there worth looking at for us small-eared folk with similar designs -- the key is rather than a big 'bulb' right behind the tip for the drivers and electronics, the bulky bit is set a ways out from the tip and is suspended without touching your ear in use, allowing you much more freedom in getting the angle and depth of the part in your ear canal just right. Instead of attempting to nestle that big bulb in your external ear cavity like the airpods do, it has a little stabilizer wing that is flexible and comes in 2 sizes, and they come with five sizes of silicone tips. I've been wearing them basically all day for the past week with almost no discomfort.

This is the beauty of a protest like this, because this site does have valuable content, and if enough sites like this joined the protest it could actually hurt the relevancy of the Google index, that by the time Google figures out is valuable, would not be allowed to index anymore.
> We know the rules of physics and math. We can make predictions using those rules and express them as well defined terms. Physics and math are not a black box.

We can make a good deal of economic predictions that validate. Predicting recessions is in a similar class of problem as predicting the weather. We understand, in broad terms, the system-level dynamics. But we don't get it at the granular level, and that granular level sometimes manifests systemically in a chaotic way.
Yes you are right, this can be done in client side javascript, but the downside is that it can't be updated. I do plan to add more tools down the road.
I agree -- as a "former mathematician", I find economics to be much more daunting than math, and I'm skeptical about anyone who has more than a modicum of certainty about it. Modern mathematics is certainly complex, but there are definitive axioms that are nearly universally agreed-upon, and proofs operate on logic alone. It's like a hard game with known rules. Are there definitive axioms in economics that apply to the real world with irrational actors?

As you say, I think the key component that introduces all the uncertainty is: humans. You can't prove anything interesting about a human-based system using pure logic (at least not that I'm aware of).

I'm reminded of the quote by Von Neumann: "If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is."

But I will be the first to admit that my economics understanding is shallow. I'm curious: what are examples of theorems or definitive truths in economics that we know apply to the real world with real humans?

Currently, that is what the default is though for a western perspective. Most products are designed to hit that market because that demographic has the most resources, for a lot of complicated socio-economic reasons that I'm not qualified to really describe in a way that they deserve.

Those structures were designed around that default demographic, where those extra products and incentives are attempts to take what is working for the default and allow others to enjoy the benefits that was only afforded to the default.

For example: I as a trans woman, even with those extra supports and incentives to help me, I find that when presented as man or now when I don't tell people I'm trans it is easier to operate in society/organizations in general. The incentives don't help or make things so much easier or a comparison to how much easier it was traversing as a default demographic.

I agree that it should be up to the appropriated culture. I’m not saying all you have to do is read a book. If you want to participate in another culture it takes a lot of work to learn and participate respectfully. And you’d probably have to do it up front rather than after the fact to justify yourself.

For example: Eminem is respected as a rap artist because he apprenticed himself to the culture and celebrates it. He didn’t just try to make money off rap and learn a bit of history about it to justify doing so.

I was thinking of the usual complaint about Intel not supporting AMD hardware that is common in HPC.

We don't know what that example was actually measuring, except apparently not the same thing for BLIS and MKL. On the basis of only that, it's not reasonable to say "just so much faster", in particular for what I care about. I have Zen2 measurements (unfortunately only in a VM) using the BLIS test/3 framework. MKL came out nearly as fast as vanilla BLIS 0.7 and OpenBLAS on serial DGEMM, less so on the rest of D level 3, and nowhere close with S, C, and Z. Similarly for one- and two-socket OpenMP. At least in that "2021" version of MKL, there's only a Zen DGEMM kernel.

Yes, and none of these riots were about anything related to the economy.

In fact, it's precisely during this time that the Feds were hitting the printing press the hardest, directly increasing wealth inequality and thus, the US Black population being on average way poorer[1] and poverty indirectly being the number one cause of death, lowering US Black citizens' life expectancy more than US White citizens.

And yet 0 riots or public outcry about that, while countless more Black people will die because of these policies than the few who die of police brutality.

Really the biggest issue is that most of your coworkers are going to have poor audio recording setups, which is going to severely limit how good the audio you hear can be. I listen to coworkers on reasonably higher end headphones that I use for music production all day and its not great. In my experience most of it just comes down to how good the other person's microphone setup is. They'll sound pretty good even on standard gear like Airpods with a good recording setup, and pretty bad on higher end gear like studio headphones with a poor recording setup.

I can hear the phase distortion induced by the processing from the Atmos stuff in the spatial audio, its.. objectively awful. (it sounds like high frequency swirling in the hiss in the track, or anything that could be in the range of hiss)

I'm pretty sure I could measure it with the right tools, I'm not audiophile, and I don't believe much in the woo and snakeoil heavy claims, but for me, I agree that the sound is worse than a good stereo mix.

What sort of compute do you get access to? There's a lot of cool stuff you could do depending on whether or not you have decent GPU's and for how much time you're allowed to experiment on them. Experimentation is fairly fundamental in practice.

There are a lot of pretraining tasks in vision/multimodal that are cool. Largely techniques introduced or refined by OpenAI re-implemented as pytorch open source codebases with varying degrees of success:

- Finetune your own CLIP https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip

- Train a (much smaller) DALLE https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE-pytorch

- Train your own guided diffusion https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1javQRTkALBWLFWnx1K4... (pretty tough, may only be feasible on domain-specific data)

- Train a variational autoencoder (VAE)

- "VQGAN" from Heidelberg https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers

- "Discrete VAE", used as the backbone for OpenAI's DALL-E, reimplimented here (and other places) https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE-pytorch

I’ve been a die hard Spotify fan, and since I need a lot of the Apple ecosystem, still pay for the Apple + subscription, so I get Apple Music for free.

I just pulled up Hamilton on Atmos on my Sonos ARC, subwoofer, and two cheap IKEA speakers for rears.

It’s stunning. It’s also quite good coming out of my AirPods Pro, despite how crappy those speakers are.

A friend of mine recently opined that Spatial Audio couldn’t be all that, because after all “what does apple know about audio?”

Its good to see Apple back in the game since the iPod.
Also remember Stroustrop's Law: "There are two types of programming languages. Those that nobody likes, and those that nobody uses."

To my eye Java gets a lot more usage, particularly outside of a single company's ecosystem. Some of that is because of company cultures, like Eric mentioned. Microsoft is all about increasing the value of their platform, while Sun's DNA is about open software systems and ecosystems. But the consequence is that Java is used in a lot of places that are not directly aligned with Sun's software stack or corporate vision, and it grew faster, and had more cooks in the kitchen, and as a result the overall platform is significantly less cohesive.

Jostling how?

I have been wearing in-ears for years, running the wire down my spine and into my pants pockets.

That limits the parts of the cable that can still move to between the device and my beltline, which doesn't cause any noise whatsoever.
I aimed for noise isolating headphones so I could listen at lower volumes and keep my hearing safe. However, to cover up that wire noise I end up having to turn them up pretty loud when walking my dogs. I just gave up after a bunch of expensive iems broke and just use cheap EarPods now. They’re good for the price and they’re open back, so there is no cord noise or movement noise
