Most of us don't, but I've been looking at the lobbying numbers and they don't seem that expensive.

I think with crowd funding and smart targeting of the money it might not be that difficult to buy change.

Importantly, EVs are half the cost per mile to operate versus a combustion vehicle, so their total cost of ownership is lower the longer you own it (with higher upfront capital costs). EVs mustn't be the same price as a combustion vehicle; they need to be able to be financed by the consumer at a low capital cost (funded by issuing green bonds by whomever is originating the auto loan, enabling a below market interest rate to be provided to the borrower) so they can get the lower cost per mile benefit over their ownership period (versus a less expensive upfront combustion vehicle with more expensive petroleum fuel ongoing costs). Tangentially, as the price of power declines as the grid gets cleaner due to renewables, electric vehicles become even cheaper to drive per mile. Your primary costs end up being the tires.

Well to do consumers will keep buying Teslas (currently at a ~1.25M/year unit run rate, ramping to 2M units/year by EOY), and those cars will filter down to the used car market for price sensitive consumers over time (and due to powertrain longevity, they’ll be in much better shape versus a combustion counterpart at similar mileage).

This is quite similar to how rooftop solar is a large cost upfront (if not financed), but once paid off, it generates power “for free” over its 25-service 30 year life (versus ongoing utility expenses forever).
They could also say they are not even close to being competitive and that would be accurate as well.

The auto industry is a failure as a whole. I wish we had a Linux Foundation for automakers to have them collaborate and make exchangeable parts and open source computer systems. Their greed prevents any serious progress and regulations also make this difficult, but I don't see why there isn't some collective.

Each automaker wants everything they do to be proprietary. They want mechanics and dealers exclusive to them. The whole auto industry is very wasteful and corrupt.

I don't think full EVs make a lot of sense yet. They are just not that practical and most people I know that have full EVs also have another gas powered or hybrid vehicle for longer trips where they won't have to stop and recharge.
Do those companies have recognition programs where where you can reward people for union topics?
Like the person above you mentioned: "we seem to be in a worker-favorable economy". Nobody would do what you said for another dollar per hour. I worked lots of minimum wage jobs and none of my co-workers would have shit in bags, pee in bottle for another dollar / hour. Please keep the conversation at an intelligent level.
Ah yes, and then when the best scandal comes out from VW we'll see how else they try to screw over their customers.
Every profession has its gaffes but that doesn't negate the folly of deliberately ill-conceived work done by amateurs. Technically mature infrastructures crashing wouldn't negate the folly of a first-time developer trying to launch a public service with loopdy-looped cargo-culted spaghetti code on a shared host gator VPS.

Adoption is really important for social media to succeed and be useful to its users and image is really important for social media adoption, generally, even if not for you. But I guarantee its influenced your choices more than you could feasibly perceive. Would you still use HN if it used the default bootstrap layouts? Or a ton of slick graphics and heavy animations? Would enough other people be put off by it not to bother?

You can't guarantee everything will strike everyone the same way, but there are wrong answers and it's not even mostly subjective. In an alternate Twitter-free universe if someone wanted a noun/verb for a deliberately lightweight communication broadcast into the ether over the internet, I'd bank a grand on marketers agreeing that a cheerful, sharp little chirp from a nimble, energetic bird communicates that better than the plaintive sounding crescendo of a giant plodding extinct earthbound mammal which also is outdated slang for a fart.

Nobody user is out there weight the pros and cons of the post name when deciding a social network— it's all about that first visceral impression that makes people think "this is cool and exciting" or "this is dull and lame."
PyTorch lightning is just a convenience wrapper for PyTorch. The rest are toy re-implementations of a very small subset of PyTorch features, likely much slower and certainly less optimized overall.

PyTorch (or Tensorflow or Keras) are the real options.

Honestly I like a ton of what Amazon does. AWS is great. Their shopping platform, I'm broadly a big fan of. I'm not a fan of union busting, employee smooshing and pee bottles. The latter two I suspect would go away if they stopped doing the first, but I digress. I didn't think that'd be contentious but here we are.
Can you please explain what benefits you will get from this as a sole proprietor (assuming you are one)?
There's a distinction, though, which I think would matter to people. Smart assistants are things you choose for yourself -- they don't get put in your home without your involvement. Google Glass was something someone else chose for you.

(Also it was very expensive, clunky looking, and buggy. As you say, it's multifaceted.)

Good luck replacing water.

This perspective also assumes enough creativity and capital available to do this will always there. If you're going to need to develop potentially more complex and expensive technology it's going to need a certain level of complexity and population to support that complexity available. With birth rates being below replacement level it seems population of young people is heading down generation after generation. So... I'm not so convinced this assumption will always hold. In fact, it's a concrete example of a negative feedback loop kicking in and correcting the status quo for us as in order to have a society capable of such a level of innovation it has to be structured such that it's population refuses to reproduce in sufficient numbers.
Turns out there is a way to report it, it's just incredibly convoluted. Check the post above yours.
I didn’t see mentioned any papers published on PaLM, nor any open access program.

I bought three printers from three different name brands last year: all of them sucked, none of them worked for print and scan across Mac and Windows, much less Linux. We eventually kept the least worst. After 30 years of solid global consumer demand, one can say printers are truly a bullshit industry. Our office is basically paperless now, I tend to use the thing more to scan hand-written notes than to print.
It's not complicated -- whatever they were like in private, their writings (in particular novels) clearly show that they were unable to publicly confront basic facts about human life. And that is not a good thing for a novel. In Britain that influence lasted until the first world war. I know it's not "interesting" to repeat cliches like I'm repeating, but they're true aren't they?
I've had pretty good luck with rust on stm32. Toolchain was just a matter of `rustup target install thumbv7m-none-eabi` and `cargo-embed`. The little bit of mismatch between the various HAL projects makes switching specific MCUs un-fun, but as long as you're just sticking with one, I would recommend.
The joint didn't magically teleport into the square of federal property, so possession before you stepped onto the federal land seems like a fairly easy argument. But I suspect the cops have a lot better things to do.
Oh for sure, and there are still some impedance mismatches that absolutely exist while using Nim to target a fair few of those libraries. It's part of why we still use a decent chunk of C.

That said, a lot of those weird crashes we run in to even in pure C itself. ESP-IDF has some... quirks. Don't get me started on heap corruption.

The joys of embedded, I suppose.

If anyone has got PPPoS working with LwIP, I'd love an email haha.
As a related Adelaide fact - the center of town is ringed by a "moat" of parklands, each ostensibly the width of a cannonball and designed as a defensive structure (an invading force would need to run through a cannon's worth of artillary). On a map the green square is extremely distinctive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_Park_Lands#/media/Fil...
I think you missed the whole "capitalism" vs "planned economies" comparison entirely. The advantage of capitalism over planned economies isn't that it's democratic or whatever. It's that in capitalism, individual companies are allowed to fail if they perform poorly, whereas in a command economy it takes the entire country down.
I'm not denying your application need, but I only plug in power and sometimes an external monitor. I don't think I've plugged anything else into my computer in years.

So it might be lunacy for you but it's not necessarily lunacy for others. And given the amount of market research these guys do I suspect the "never plug anything else in" crowd is pretty significant.
I am having trouble distinguishing. Is this article more "industry insider gives insight on why cheap electric cars are unlikely soon" or "industry dinosaur fails to understand how mammals could take over"?
That's why it is illegal for management to interfere with labor organizing. Because they will abuse their power wherever they can.
Took me a little while to get used to this in Vancouver, but at a certain point I just came to terms with the fact that people have become accustomed to being weak, lazy, and avoidant. So when I make plans with someone I don't know that well, if it's important to have less ambiguity about the plan, I make sure it's specific. I find that if people agree to something specific, they're less likely to bail. The ones that have, I'm no longer friends with, and they eventually just earn a rep as flakey social climbers, because it's common for them to just agree to things that they know they can't make.

If I'm the one who bails, I try to just be honest about it, but it's usually something that has changed to become an impractical event. "I'm not all that enthusiastic to join a house party starting at 11:30, because everyone will want to sleep in 25 min and I won't make any meaningful connections". Which usually happens because the person was flakey about inviting me in the first place, and the good part is over.

Men are more likely to succeed with suicide regardless of the method. Men who overdose on medicine takes much higher dosages and therefore succeeds more often etc.

The reason women don't succeed is because they aren't as serious and therefore chooses dosages or methods where you are very unlikely to die, as can be seen in this study for example:

The same can be said about $200 boots lasting ten years, while the $50 boots only last one year. The more expensive option is a better deal over the long term, yet most people will still buy the cheap boots.

This is a very odd argument for Mercedes in particular to make. First, Mercedes is not positioned as a company that prices its offerings at parity. So strategically, what do they care when cost parity with internal-combustion arrives? Certainly they have as much ability as Tesla to recoup the incremental cost?

Second, their top seller globally is the ~$43k+ GLC, which is more costly than the Kia Niro. Which: perhaps they have different trim levels, but the Kia also carries a 10-year/100k mile warranty vs 4 year/50k miles with Mercedes. If Kia can make the economics work, surely Mercedes can make it work?

Similarly, VW's ID.4 starts at $41k. Feels like if Mercedes can't mass-produce an EV, that's a problem specific to Mercedes.

My prior was that Tesla would have a lot of trouble once the German luxury marques and Japanese got serious about EVs. But BMW's strategy is haphazard at best and Mercedes apparently isn't getting in the game. So bizarre to watch these august firms cede marketshare without a fight over so many years.
I think you have to try to avoid the situations you described, but I think 99% of the time, bad mouthing someone who is toxic is not going to have these far-reaching negative effects. I have done it in many exit interviews and its never bitten me. I obviously do not ask for references from terrible managers who I bad-mouth in exit interviews, rather I ask for references from strong leaders who I can honestly speak glowingly about and who I develop close relationships with. I think you shouldn't be afraid to speak the truth in most cases and if you've developed a reputation as a good employee who others like to work with, many times the information you provide will be taken seriously. It probably won't be acted upon unless others report the same thing, but I still find it worthwhile. It at least gives them the opportunity to do the right thing.
This is a super junky product category. I notice plenty of people plugging the super expensive OWC and CalDigit Thunderbolt docks. These are also pretty junky, they just have big price tags.

Luckily I have not actually spent my money on these.. but we have had hundreds at work. I have had a Thunderbolt dock at my desk at work for about 4 years now, and have had one at home for 2 years now that I was able to expense. I've had both an OWC and a CalDigit Fail. My CalDigit at work failed last week after mostly sitting unused during the pandemic. IT had a rubbermaid bin full of broken ones.

I think the common thing we have is most of us have 2x 4k monitors.. one has to go into a Thunderbolt port and one goes into a DisplayPort. My desk at home only has one external monitor and seems to not generate problems. Usually one of the monitors will start to refuse to work.

The CalDigit has one set of bugs with Intel Macs and a different set of bugs with Apple Silicon IME.

Both of them have RF interference issues as well with things like Microsoft and Logitech wireless mice and keyboards.

It's all too bad cause the user experience is great when they actually work. Single cable to get everything works great.
Indeed. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the types of AC. "AC" can mean "50 or 60 Hz sinusoid synchronized to the grid" or it can mean "a waveform that is not a constant voltage." Most motors require some form of the latter. Older motors required the former, but there are very few reasons to build motors that way today. The ones that remain in service can easily be driven by electronic inverters from a DC supply.
Having a 'right to be angry' doesn't mean being angry is the tactic to further one's goals.
When has mass adoption of a social networking platform ever worked out well for users?
Interesting. Safari on iOS and Firefox on Linux don’t complain for me.
The rise of TikTok is a recent example of how this isn't necessarily true. Prior to that, Snap Chat, Instagram, Discord, and even Facebook itself are all examples of disruptive new social networks that quickly surpassed existing incumbents.

> In addition, the 'educational assistance' is barely enough for a two-year vocational training program, certainly nowhere near enough for a full four-year college degree. It's better than nothing, certainly, but the advertising and the reality have a big disconnect.

This is entirely false. I served my commitment on active duty and then went to college using the Post-911 GI Bill. I got 9 semesters (4.5 yrs) paid for with housing allowance as well.

I dropped out of school before I joined the military, and had $10k in student loan debt with nothing to show for it. After serving, I graduated with a CS degree, and a job lined up as a software engineer. I am truly grateful the opportunities I was afforded through my service.

His chief complaint is rare earth mining and he specifically mentions Lithium. Just the other day we had a post here about geothermal energy exposing big amounts of Lithium in the sludge. I'm sure there are other factors e.g. cobalt, political issues etc. but if mining is the problem this might create the incentives.

I don't know anything about these things and I'm sure he isn't just "spitballing" like I am. But I'd love to hear from people who do know.

Also with $100+ oil the TCO difference in favor of electric is probably far more pronounced than it used to be, so the extra cost might be mute for larger customers (e.g. taxi drivers etc.).

Hi @Dig1t, PhD in quantum physics here. I think it's important to add some nuance here.

1. The crackpots are trying to "disrupt" or "overhaul" the very foundations of Physics. Finding something beyond general relativity or beyond quantum field theory is unlikely without high brain power combined with a minimum of 10 years of full time study. There's no way around it. It's like wanting to be an opera composer with a few months of guitar lessons.

2. This does not mean that there aren't thousands of fun, relevant and impactful physics problems out there. In all areas of physics. There are thousands of small questions that puzzle the best physicists and which they don't have time for, or haven't gotten the inspiration for, etc. Many of them can be tackled without understanding the whole field. It's not about laying new foundations which need to agree with decades and decades of data and theory. It's about using the tools to push the frontier.

If (2) sound interesting, keep going. If you contact a physicist and say:

- I know this and that math (done all problems in this and that textbook)
- I'm interested in your field
- Are there any accessible open problems that my math could potentially crack open?

Most physicists will likely point you towards interesting problems.

Or that just means that upper class doesn't start at the boundary of the top quantile.

I'm sorry but no stretch of the imagination has upper class as a couple making 33k/yr each. That's absolutely absurd. That's $16.50 an hour with no overtime.

Looking at it, upper class typically is the top one or two percent of the population.

Combustion engine efficiency improved and emissions dropped a lot over the years, even with no fundamental breakthroughs either. A lot of money was spent.
Thanks for the suggestions! Zoom is on the top of my TODO list.
As someone who somewhat went down that path, the answer for me was "no, I can't quit on my own and man this 'experiment' has done some serious damage to my life"

I'm doing better now! The buprenorphine injection has made my life so much better.

Of course my trauma was one of the real driving forces behind that "experiment" and thought process. Really, my "lets find out what its like" was a rationalisation it seems.

The first article is for a completely different benefit. The GI Bill from WW2, the Montgomery GI Bill, and the Post 9/11 GI bill are completely different things. To be clear - the article reports on a great injustice and it's sad to read about. I had no idea. Thank you for showing it.

The second article is specific to the reserves and guard. The main point I gather is that the process of evaluating time served is flawed and caused mistakes which made members a) lose their benefits even if they were currently using them and b) place the burden and costs on the service member to resolve. I'll restrict my statement to active duty only.
I’m with you on this. I’m a FAANG software engineer who does hardware stuff too and I have a 2020 MacBook Air with 2 (two!) USB-C ports. One for charging, one for other stuff. In my two years of owning the device I have not once ever been frustrated needing the third port. I do quite often use both of the two ports, but even needing three seems to never happen in my use case.

I don’t use external monitors with that device which probably makes a difference but IMO the point still stands - I think there is a silent majority of people who don’t want or care about more ports.
Maybe we will start to optimize our software instead of expecting accelerating CPUs to eat our bloat.
