Yeah, when public transport is done well, people _don't want to drive_. I live in London, I have a driver's license, and I haven't driven a car since I got it years and years ago. Why would I? Instead of having to focus on the incredibly menial tasks of staring at a road or being stuck in traffic, I can browse Hacker News and Reddit, read a book, or even play video games, while I ride a nice double-decker bus, or get from A to B in half the time it takes to drive, with the tube (underground trains). We have 24/7 buses all week long, and some trains run 24/7 during weekends. While London is pretty good, it isn't even the best example of trains, there are several Asian countries with better train systems than we have here, and we're like the only(?) Northern/Western European country that doesn't publicly fund our capital city's public transport organisation, TFL -- it could be both cheaper _and_ better if we followed their lead.
Very well put, and I share your sentiment.

Still, kids, who have done none of these things can still sometimes be interesting.

My experience being in your first dev job as a self-taught developer
VW, BP, Deutsche Bank, Airbus and especially LVMH and Nestle, would like to have a word with you.

You're making it sound like the lack of major European SW megacorps comes from some benevolent voluntary decision on our side, when the truth is that Europe is full of unscrupulous, corrupt and exploitative megacorps like the ones I listed above, except in SW, since we missed the SW bus entirely due to reasons I will go into detail below, and so the US dominates that field entirely.

Firstly, don't have the capacity to pump trillions of EUR into our stock market like the FED does and we also don't have the military capacity to invade any country that would threaten the EURO or our oil/energy markets.

But most importantly, the US is a single market with 300 million consumers with a high purchasing power, making scaling of SW products and services much easier than in a fragmented market with about 24 different languages and many more different cultures and differing regulations, with some EU member countries having conflicting interests on many important topics, making scaling of SW products across EU members a nightmare if you're not flush with cash. Which is why we're full of thousands of small local companies that don't have any international leverage.

And before anyone brings up ASML for the thousandth time as some silver bullet example for EU tech dominance, please note that ASML's golden goose, EUV, is a product of US Cymer wich ASML bough, and of Sandia labs research which ASML licensed, so the US has veto rights on what ASML can do with the EUV tech and who they can sell it to (spoiler alert, not to China).
...At a roaming price, which can be up to 500% of the real price.

No-one uses that roaming crap unless they just bought a new car and either don't know better or have some kind of brand-specific deal for a limited time.
Some quick math:

A city bus costs ~$250k[1] and should last ~10 years[1].

If the bus runs 12 hours a day, that is ~43000 hours of driving you have to pay for. So even if drivers earn minimum wage (I assume a CDL'd driver would earn significantly more), you end up paying more for the driver than the bus.

I think that is changing. In certain countries the alternative networks are now comparable. And I think this is also to increase their own revenue. If it affects the availability for their own cars they can just ramp up the non-Tesla prices.

It may also be to be one step ahead of legislation that might make it mandatory. Or as part of government grants etc.

I did notice they were only opening this up on the less busy superchargers.
It's actually less terrifying to me than the idea that scraping your elbow could have something as awful as a fungal infection crossing the blood brain barrier.

Though, to be fair, there are at least one or two places where the brain is not behind the BBB.
Well, my GitLab instance at some point started to have its Prometheus eat 100% CPU all the time until I disabled the Prometheus component altogether, so there’s that. A cursory glance at the tracker just now says the issue is still open. That’s the kind of problems you get for self-hosting, it’s not all rainbows and unicorns.

Happy to see the kernel init parameters fix land! For context, I used firecracker (very successfully) in a CTF, driven via a Discord bot.

One of the challenges I tried to build was one where a player would get access to the kernel commandline with the goal being that they should hack their way around the environment to get access to an encrypted disk. Unfortunately, that was when I get the now fixed bug[1].

Also, There are two ltypes of dishwasher owners: Those who pre-rinse things that fgo in and those who dont.

I ALWAYS pre-rinse everything. there are times when I use the dishwasher as a dish-rack and wash things by hand and just put them into the open dish-washer to dry... I prefer this to having anything on the counters.

I have a set of LG washer/dryer which are wifi capable...

I have yet to find a reason to connect them, even though I have a wifi extender node plugged into the same power as the washer.

I do have "smart" lightbulbs in every socket in the house and can control them all with alexa and/or the Feit app...

I use it all the time, and like to be able to set every single light in the house to whatever color I want. So Ill often set the lights to "Firebrick" which is the most calming at night.

https://www.smarthomeexplained.com/alexa-smart-light-color-n...

and I like to say "Alexa set all lights to firebrick" and every single bulb in the house and porch turn red....

But I guess Ill have to connect the washer and drier to wifi and see what added value I might find there...

FYI this is also a great vid by that guy on power plugs.

I'm not exactly sure what result I aim to achieve. Surely not to advertise that I'm rich. It seems to me that wealth would attract metaphorical flies.

Maybe it's just the fun of the thought of placing two similarly shaped cylindrical structures, who both have outlived their utility, one atop the other. An artistic expression.

Another similarity that both structures share is their typical placement is somewhere remote.

Bosch has a lot of product lines at many levels of quality/value and features. A buddy of mine was an engineer on a project that cloned the Miele G7xxx (their top-of-the-line dishwasher), their version is in the same class as a Miele G7 and the (extremely high) price is comparable too.
It is super easy on all I have seen. There is button which adds either 30min or 1 hour (depending on model) to delay when I press it. That is it, press it until delay is what you want.
> Why should it be necessary to install software in order to fuel a vehicle? What benefit exists for the consumer?

In this particular case, it's because Tesla superchargers aren't point of sale terminals. They don't have a display or any means of interacting with the user beyond grabbing the plug connector and sticking it into a car.

That's a feature, not a bug. People who haven't actually supercharged a Tesla imagine this service to be like pulling into a gas station, and it's really not.
You can delegate whatever process you want. Please allow me to make that decision for myself, we have different capabilities and values.
I'm very curious if this is somehow related to the ongoing gitlab outage also being reported on the front page. This just impacted me directly while I was going over a homework problem set with a student.

I don't need to hear who he's talking to. I just want an interrupt button to say it's dinnertime, or something like that.
Your impression is correct. We use GitLab.com and notice these incidents as they happen.

The delay in updating status is a result of our Incident Management process [0]. We have a Communications Manager on Call (CMOC) who leads communication throughout an incident. One of their responsibilities includes updating the status page. The slight delay between noticing the issue and updating the status page is a result of the time it takes for the CMOC to get alerted, assess the situation, and write the communication that is shared on the status page.

I'm not sure how the "updated a few seconds ago" messages are generated but I'll try to find out once the incident has been resolved.

I disagree. It's easier for me to have my payment method attached to an account and that account to be automatically debited whenever I connect my car.
I thought that intuitively at first, but uneducated napkin math seems to disagree.

Say a Cab costs $50k upfront plus $.5 times 200,000 miles gives us $150,000 for the vehicle over it's lifetime.

If hiring, insuring, managing, and paying a driver costs 100k per year and it takes say 5 driver years for that car to reach EOL, you're at 500k for the driver.

Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of the numbers could chime in, but if I'm reasonably close, that driver is a big chunk of costs.
- Cost. Double or more.

- Would require a redesign.

- Certain parts of the die cannot be shrunk: bond pads, esd protection, output drive transistors.

- Certain parts of chips are designed for proprietary processes (eFLASH, analog)

While credentials matter, the first thing I check when I read a paper/publication is who funded the work.
I wish they would build out more stations first. We have three Supercharger stations in my area within a 50 mile radius and every time I had to use one, the lot was almost always full.
Yeah, this is fantastic if you want constantly blinking text.

We used adobe fonts for a while, but I really wasn’t impressed.

Hundreds of dollars to buy a font it turned out we could only use through their hosted service.
>No matter if the car is a taxi or a personal car, it will be discarded after the same number of miles.

What? I'd disagree with just about everything there.

In general fleet vehicles go much farther because of regular maintenance.

The other factor that must be taken in effect is will the rate of accidents that total cars decrease, if so, the average total mileage will increase.
Interesting move.

While I understand some of the fears of Tesla owners about congested charging stations, as a non-Tesla EV owner I appreciate this opening.

I'm willing to pay more for good infrastructure and Tesla sure is providing that. So is Ionity and fastned but most others (speaking about Germany) fail to do that.

Maybe Tesla should outsource the charging stuff to not get in conflict with antitrust laws or sth. like that, but I'd love to see another big player provide good charging infrastructure for all EVs.
To add onto this, my experience is you never want a fully automated status page for another two reasons:

1. External engineers will start to automate recovery/mitigation processes around your status page if it has real time status.

2. You now need to bug test your status page thoroughly because of #1. It basically becomes an actual API.
Let's run the numbers. You're saying 2^{-256} ~ P_rare_day^{365}, so that would make P_rare_day 2^{-256/365} ~ 61%.
Not rare at all...

If we put P_rare_day at a more realistic 1 in a billion, or ~ 2^{-30}, then it only takes 8.53 rare days in a row...

Templates are the ugliest part of Django. They are completely unaware of the target syntax, so very often the template itself cannot be validated as HTML, which makes it difficult to lint or reformat.

The only tool I'm aware of that can (mostly) correctly reformat Django templates is the PyCharm/IntelliJ family of IDEs, but their reformatting often introduces subtle breakage (such as adding new lines inside tag attributes) and requires careful review.
Nothing is more enticing than a shared car with other people who are incentivized to push the cleaning and maintenance onto somebody else, while maximizing their own use of the vehicle.

It'll be like a public bathroom but with wheels.
Depending on the requirements of the RPC you could implement the logic in eBPF code over the XDP framework which can directly execute the code inside the NIC driver and modify the packet buffer to be a response packet that gets send out immediately without ever going through the rest of the kernel nor userspace.
It’s only necessary if your car isn’t designed to identify itself automatically to the Tesla network.

Tesla drivers don’t need to go through the app to charge. They just plug in.

You can also charge elsewhere such as at home. Most public charging stations I’ve seen (I’m in the US) do not have credit card readers and therefore require either a car that identifies itself, or an app.
This was a problem when past scientists stated that there was a consensus when in fact the underlying evidence was limited and allowed for multiple possible interpretations. If you dig into some of those past errors in medical guidelines you often find very shoddy, limited research which doctors uncritically accepted as fact.
The point of such remote-scheduling is in my view, is that e.g. when HA notices, that the machine has not run in 3 days, but is closed, then it can send a notification to my phone, with Buttons for "Go Now", and one for "Tonight, one hour after last movement detection".

And I thought at least some dishwashers heated the water themselves, like my washing machine. At least the water-hardness value is nice to know, and (since it's super-easy with HA) log/graph it over time. Plus detergent and salt levels are nice to know for shopping-list-planning.
That does seem worse for the environment.
We used to get this right before stamping them out in the factory. Instead, everything is all appy now, for the benefit of the manufacturer. They are riding the hype to normalize their shitty behavior. Sort of like when banks inconvenience you for thier sake and say it's to protect you (the person under no risk of liability).
> No matter if the car is a taxi or a personal car, it will be discarded after the same number of miles.

Is this actually true? My personal anecdata would suggest that most passenger vehicles are not driven nearly the number of miles that a taxi or commercial vehicle are driven.

A quick google suggests passenger vehicles are typically salvaged at 100-150k miles whereas an average taxi might do 500k or more before retirement.
The APU on atlas missiles used ethylene oxide to fuel the turbine, you don't need hydrazine to get toxic aerospace chemical exposure. I would also bet all the money in my pocket those structures are chock full of asbestos and lead.
I'm not optimistic that a significant number of people who need car transportation will give up personal vehicles. You would lose a lot of things:

- Spontaneity: You need to wait for the car to show up

- Independence: I would rather be able to do it myself than hire/rent out for the task.

- Personal crap storage: Everyone keeps their Very Precious Crap in their car. For certain trips, it's beneficial to have a car nearby to store things temporarily at a destination.

- Self expression: In America, a huge number of people express their character through their cars. And not just through bumper stickers. What you drive says who you are. People aren't driving absurdly big pickup trucks because they're all contractors and landscapers.

You can argue the practically of these points but that's just like, your opinion man.

I think the only way to reduce cars and car problems is by making cars totally unnecessary for daily life: Denser living with local work or WFH work. Diverse zoning so you're walking around the corner for your cup of coffee rather than a mile away.

Urban life should rightfully be the most efficient and economical approach. The suburbs are subsidized all to hell and the common sense approach is unrecognizable to most people now..

Why do you justify that conclusion? There is no reason Tesla couldn’t participate is such a subscription. The app is just because there is no card reader at the charger.
In my experience this is almost always because your IT department budgeted terribly for their deployment and either didn’t get GPUs for graphics or is overextending their setup.

VDI should probably cost as much if not more than comparable workstations, but it’s so much more convenient in the best case.

Everyone I know with a Bolt doesn't do any of these things. They also didn't go get the update.

The batteries only have the problems if 2 different manufacturering defects happen to occur in the same battery.

What I really want to see, but don't expect to happen, is removable batteries for all EVs. Chevy now has to eventually change the battery pack on all Bolts. While they are in there why not install an adaptor that accepts some hypothetical standard battery blocks that can be interchanged at battery swapping stations. Then long charging times can be skipped. No need for the battery to be owned by the car. Make it more like a cash refund for recycling bottles business model.
Treat it as lack of preparation. That's the simplest thing that might work.
It's funny to me that the popout quote is,

whose first word is, y'know, Progress.

I mean, surely we've all seen this by now:

Interesting word, "progress".
The cost per transistor is going up because the latest nodes require too many process steps. An older node might require 90 steps, the lastest nodes require 900 steps. Every step requires a "tool" and every step has a chance of yield loss. The transistor is getting harder to make faster then it is getting smaller.

The new EUV steppers with soft x-ray wavelength can do in one shot what took 4 shots with 193nm ArF tools. And for each shot you have to apply, bake, develop inspect and strip the resist. This was supposed to help but the EUV steppers are so expensive it is kind of a wash price wise.
It’s sorta also creates a situation where you need to have a smartphone with a decent specs to access basic services like parking and fuel. Whereas earlier it was any legal tender.

I wonder if a lawsuit could be brought against companies that restrict how they accept payment for services. It would seem like something like cashless stores would be illegal if cash is legal tender.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you’ve never spent any significant time seeing what it takes to build a shooting range.

You’re looking at a half million dollar investment to start a reasonably-equipped outdoor range. $2m+ for an indoor handgun range. That’s before dealing with insurance and operating expenses.

Maybe we could come up with some sort of 'Metacar' system where people walk, bike, or take a short ride to a central pickup point and then all ride in a 'Metacar' with passengers headed in the same general direction.

I wonder if the economics work out so that it would be affordable to bore tunnels under cities for these 'Metacars'. That would make it much easier to have them be driverless, and they could proceed directly towards their destination at higher speed. Even if that isn't possible, we could designate some lanes on bigger roads as 'Metacar' lanes so that they can move efficiently even in rush hour.

In all seriousness: I just realized that I haven't had a job in 5 years that required me to commute in a car. COVID helped, but the other half of it was working in places that take density and non-car transit seriously. I know not everyone can do that.
