Exactly. With over 20% margin, Tesla can afford to cut prices a lot if they ever need to, whereas most other manufacturers are probably barely breaking even on their electric vehicles.
> I love people who think everything has to be aimed for their consumption.

I love how people don't bother providing information that would be easy to provide, the URL to the website would be handy as here it isn't even included in the README on github, then people get all het up when others mention the lack of information.
I'd love to tell you it's to keep up on trends and ideas in tech, but really it's just to watch random alt-right trolls occasionally post thinly-veiled bullshit about eugenics and read the comments whenever anybody suggests poor people aren't just lazy, and also the crypto bro rage.

The tech stuff is cool too, I guess.

320 is a fair mark, but I didn't do the math for real world reasonable buffers for the lightning. That would drop it further to about 130-150 miles.

Duh! It was bound to happen, the payment models for Android and Apple are not sensible for apps whose job is to deliver paid content.
> Isn’t this in some ways just growing up and directly having experience with the intricacies of a big system?

From what I've read, I don't think so. The underlying considerations may not have changed. But societal awareness of various problems has increased, causing both parents and students to ask things like "how many mental health counselors do you have for your student body?" or "what's the waiting time for an appointment?" I think consumers have become a lot more educated, too.
My initial argument since the beginning of this thread, is that it's the most powerful computer not the fastest, as it will not be, for the case for some single threaded task. Not really sure what is so controversial about it...:-)
> If you want to join a PhD program and do research you'll find lots of resources, connections, and access to people in the field, and if you want to party, go to football games, and learn some stuff along the way there's plenty of resources for that too.

Yes, unfortunately before I even think much about that, I have to completely and undergrad degree.
Not your question, but as an older guy, I'd recommend turning off "news" and other pipelines of trending opinions/media. I've seen over the years how fake and pointless most of it is. Sometimes things seem "up", and other times "down", and many times these are really out of sync with reality.

Yes there's real problems in the world, but focus on you, your family, and friends and neighbors. If you want to do something "more" than that, then go and live somewhere else in the world where people are really hurting and could use some help.

The rest of this tech stuff is just a job to earn money for the above, it's not your purpose.
It's kind of surprising that nvidia hasn't purchased AMD. It really feels like there's a single company between the two that would be truly effective- AMD for the classic CPU oomph, nvidia for the GPU oomph, combining their strengths in interconnects. It would be a player from the high-end PC to the supercomputer market, without even pretending to go for the low-power market (ARM).
Wow, that is surprising.

That must have been a fun one to track down!
You said 'It's a React/MobX collaborative model editing internal tool' so I assumed you're commenting based on that particular project. It's not a value judgement either way.

The kind of development you do (product / projects / marketing) makes a huge difference in your experience, how often you get to start from scratch (= latest versions of everything) vs maintaining existing codebases. I don't think that's controversial. You could use the same stack for every project, but people and teams change and want to catch onto the latest "advancements" in the field.

I come here to read all these posts complaining about having too many distractions.
I agree with all of those, but I'd replace the last one with:

There's many studies that show that the number of extreme weather events went up significantly in the past decades around the globe. This is way more global and longer running that some policy in some US state.

You have misunderstood the goals in the green car reports article (or maybe they did). They aren't at 150k a year now, they hope to be at that run rate by mid-2023.
I started using HN without knowing that it was formerly a startup news thing.

The problems that are at the center of the divides in our population. They are discussed/argued endlessly, and by intention are not discussed a lot here. The rules say if it's something that you would see on television news, it's probably off-topic here.

I have two drills: A cordless Makita that be do almost anything including being used as a driver and will go all day long without charge; and a corded Bosch that can go through concrete and stone like butter.

The current mode of travel for most people is trying to maximize trips. Find the best deal for flights, hotels, rental cars, etc. Then cramming all the "must see" spots while hopping Ubers and bars. It is hard to switch out of this mode.

Tho I am not sure about how rich people vacation, ritualistic trips to the same "summer cabins" or "winter resorts".
I'm here because the other news site I used to visit (Slashdot) became a cesspool of people spamming swastikas (and host files unsolicited advices!) during 2010-2020. All I wanted was to read news and discussing interesting articles so I ended up here. HN seemed "ugly" at first, now I love the way it is.

> "improving the world", "solve painful problems"

This is sales pitch. 99% of the times it actually means "we want to appear as cool (and 'benevolent') as possible while we bill you monthly". It's just a facade. All they care is the might buck, and everything else is debatable.
The F150 can tow 10,000 lbs trailer. Something that I tow once in a while. While an electric car might be able to move that much, it won't be safe, something not designed for the load you tow will roll over.

MongoDB is definitely an example. Did switching licenses actually "fix" their "problem" though? And ElasticSearch doesn't count since it was a pushover license before and not the AGPL.
I am yet to find another place on the internet (not that I'm actively searching) that has the quality of discourse as I've seen on HN.

People (and the mods like dang play a huge part here too) here generally believe _deeply_ in problem solving, looking as objectively as possible at whatever the topic is, and just learning more. There's a genuine curiosity here that resonates with me. I'm a deeply curious person and really find dramatics as a distraction from actually learning about topics.

I've also found that for just about any topic, there's always someone here that knows about it deeply to have an opinion (not just regurgitating an armchair opinion they read in another article, but what seems to be one borne out of some knowledge or experience) and is willing to talk about it in detail without dumbing things down, and there's a debate that ensues.

For all those reasons, HN is the site I frequent the most and is the most enriching.
This year is all about fertilizer prices driven by high petroleum costs.
The technical CS/Programming discussions have some very good comments. For other fields here it is barely better that the Daily News comment section.

There are very nice people who can help you with difficult-to-find information. As in : "I remember this very obscure game in the 90s who came in some shareware magazine bla bla bla" 20 min later "That must be super-Ultroon the Mechanic Dinosaur, I played it a lot..."
I guess I should have been more specific and a bit less sloppy. Mosul is directly adjacent to Iraqi Kurdistan in the disputed region and the majority of the population is Kurdish. However Kemune, the site, and Duhok where the team is based are in the undisputed part of Kurdistan. It seems like an odd nit to pick, I imagine the researcher just requested to be identified as Kurdish, he is after all the head of the Kurdistan Archaeology Organization. It isn't that odd, I've seen publications refer to a researcher as Catalonian or Scottish in the past, I'm not sure about Basque with respect to science but it pops up in the arts.
> One test[0] put it at roughly half the range (150-160 miles) when towing near its rating of 10,000 lbs.

That's not bad.

Agreed, but stuff like camping and boating is going to be limited, which is too bad because a giant battery would really open up the options for camping.
life is filled with things we don't need. We don't need 5G. We don't need internet. Datacenters are pretty big carbon footprints. Are you going to be a general home contractor with a Mini Cooper? Are you getting into the forest for camping in your Mini Cooper? How about camping with a family of 4 or 5?
and the anonymous, relatively intelligent discussions too.
It's fairly standard for this kind of lawsuit. Precisely because of what the GGP stated, it wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Anyone has the option to do anything; the question is how you will be prevented from or punished for doing it.

In this case, the answers are: not at all; and lightly at worst.
In my experience it tends not to be done because there's an inevitable drift between the system as it actually operates and the relevant visualizations and diagrams. I have seen them used as a starting off point at times, although that's also been infrequent.

There is however a growing movement of being able to visualize how a system is functioning at various levels. XState/Statecharts are a good example (https://xstate.js.org/viz/). Another example in the Ops space would be https://github.com/spekt8/spekt8 for K8S. I work at Grafana and we're more or less trying to expose these things in ways that make sense. Our bread and butter is timeseries data but we're adding more in that regard (it's possible to build node graphs from running systems).
Perfect. This is one step closer to making EVs even more convenient than gas. Forget your wallet? You can still get a quick charge if necessary.
Ah this is great! Sad that it's not getting any future updates, but on to other projects. I tried using the Mac version of 4ed a couple times, but it never got the TLC that Windows did, plus the emacs-like setup was foreign since I use vim.

The author has a great YouTube playlist[0] as well, bringing you through some basics of their preferred methodology of programming. It's been interesting to follow along and check out how he does things.

In general, I find the technical detail here better than anywhere else. When discussing a new technology or methodology there's always a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in the comments. In every popular thread there seems to be a handful of true experts/specialists as well as others who have had to deal with the topic at hand in the real world and not just research/lab.

btw, I can't think of a worse place to look for hope than the Internet. If you're looking for hope then talk to your friends and family IRL and realize how much they love you and understand that level of love is actually not uncommon in society. The Internet has none.

To discover aspects of the world and opinions that I wouldn't find anywhere else. I learn a lot of things reading through different articles and comments posted here.

When I find out how things work in reality, or how people think things work, it makes the problems I face have a clearer course of action, or helps me reach a clearer resolution on how to handle them. Even with a hope lost on what is possible or that my purpose was misguided, that much is always there for me.

Isn't far from a lot of mission statements
Unfortunately I don't have any specific insights on which type of projects is likely to net you any money. So here's some unsolicited feedback instead, from more general to more specific.

First, I think that your priority right now should be getting a job (any job) instead of winging it as a solo developer. Going solo is already expensive enough, which doesn't make it the best idea when you are one step away from homelessness.

Second, and assuming you are still going to do it, I suggest you dedicate some time to improve your personal website. I visited your website, which took me to your Twitter, which told me to visit your vlog. Your main homepage had no link to neither your books, your CV, nor your vlog. Fixing that should be quick.

And finally, I deduct from your video and your Twitter bio that you are living in Germany. If you are living here legally then the Budesagentur für Arbeit can almost certainly provide you a list of open jobs. They won't be fun jobs for sure, but they'll keep you out of homelessness. You may also qualify for unemployment.
My friend and I have been working on https://www.codeatlas.dev in our spare time, which is a tool that creates pretty (2D!) visualisations of codebases, while providing additional insights via overlays (e.g. commit density, programming language). For example here's the Kubernetes codebase visualised using codeatlas: https://www.codeatlas.dev/repo/kubernetes/kubernetes.

At the moment, codeatlas is only a static gallery, but we're currently about 1-2 weekends away from releasing a Github action that deploys this diagram on github pages for your own repos - if you're interested, feel free to watch this repo: https://github.com/codeatlasHQ/codebase-visualizer-action
Hmm, I guess my view of what I expected out of HN changed in the same way. Though I attribute it solely to growing older (and pervasive internet). But my goal was always distraction.

Reading a bunch of interesting stuff is great to soothe your anxiety, and most articles don’t get you hooked like a great book does, so I’m not (so much) at risk of reading really late into the night.
I work in hydroponics and when I describe it to someone new I mention it's like creating 15 acres of agricultural land out of thin air. Of course that depends on the crop, but there can be huge advantages to covered agriculture.
Agreed, my experience says the same. Good compromises will win every time, and most times the communication about 2 different ways to build the same thing will end up producing a hybrid that's better than both ideas alone.
An EMP is most efficiently produced by a nuke just above the atmosphere (or in the upper atmosphere), at that height the shock and heat effects would hardly be noticeable. It would really be dedicated to this effect, but it would have a pretty wide range at that altitude.

I agree that this paperwork would be the least of the issues at that point though.
These look great, I think the general idea of using space is pretty solid. Anyone who's ever tried to draw a tree structure finds it gets busy really quickly with more than a dozen or so leaves, but an actual tree in 3D space can have thousands of leaves yet fits into a reasonable chunk of space. Graphs are similar, if they are connected in 3D rather than 2D (ant nests and termite mounds are decent models).
I'm confused. You said you subtracted off the top 10% and the bottom 10%?

TBH, comparing my Model Y to the Lightning, the only range issue that I see is the charge speeds. The Lightning's 400V CCS system limits it a bit, so charge times would be quite a bit higher on longer trips.
Within the past month, I've been unable to purchase Amazon Prime content on my smart TV through the Amazon Prime app, for what appears to be the same reason (Google changes). I have to go to Amazon.com and buy it through there for it to show up on the TV.

I've abstained from buying several movies from this increased friction. I wonder how much it's costing Amazon.
If you just go by the news, yeah, it may seem like everything is terrible all the time. But if you allow for a slightly larger perspective, you can see that things have never been better for humanity. Just look at the massive improvement in average life expectancy over the past 200 years [0]. Through the unrelenting application of human ingenuity, we've more than doubled the average life expectancy (while also massively increasing the number of people on earth). For the people who can focus on specific problems, we can figure out ways to massively improve the quality of life of billions of people. Often it comes out of accidental discoveries or information that jumps across domain boundaries, and I learn a lot across domain boundaries here on HN.

I wish the news celebrated the good more often, but the business model rewards attention, and I guess people give more attention to the bad than the good. But just look back over your own lifetime and note the progress.

>Why Are You Here?

For the most part, HN is still relatively politics free. Those spaces are few and far between nowadays.

Unfortunately, that's changing. It has a lot to do with the fact that so many people here have livelihoods that depend on the "Silicon Valley" ecosystem, and that system is showing cracks in the facade. You can see it in the shifting of the public perception of Tech; the hoi polloi are sick of it, and politicians are scared of it.
If most students end up being paid their loans by the government its the same, minus the bureaucracy and the optics (we are not socialists, we discourage socialist behavior).

You can apply this rationale to the army, police, fire brigades, hospitals, schools, street lighting, public roads, public transport etc. and you end up in a jungle, not a civilized society.
To learn from smart people and contribute value when possible.
I just read some of the clauses in my contract for a new job that I am starting (I am a "sub-contractor" here). The amount of legalese, the amount of one sided items there ... it is insane. It left me wondering if the lawyers that write these contracts have an iota of empathy or conscience. If I were to summarize the contract in one line it would be "we owe you nothing, you owe us everything".

And this is for a low level, software job. Software that doesn't touch (as far as I know) anything secretive like the military. Just some run of the mill web CRUD app.

Maybe I am too sensitive, but why have we become so litigious? I understand people need to cover their ass, but some of the clauses are so egregious. Same with my lease agreement. Reminds me of this Carlin rant - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFl84lGveQs
Nothing but pure enjoyment. It's the smartest place (of appreciable scale) on the internet.

> one of the things I think makes HN unique is that we can discuss things without "having to agree that the fabric of society is at risk of collapse."

If you are saying that HN discussion mostly steers clear of U.S. culture-war drama, I think I agree and appreciate that. I hadn't really thought of it, until you posted it. Kudos.

I used to go to Twitter to get some of the same technology thought exposure, but the usefulness / drama ratio seems to have decreased dramatically since I was there last (but I realize that might just be who I follow).
I used to use tower, but I switched to fork for two reasons - it was more performant with my work monorepo, and fork's a one time payment and tower's an annual subscription (and more expensive). I'm not affiliated with them at all but I'm a happy customer and recommend you give it a shot; they have a free trial.
Although this is a good idea. It is a monstrous task. A basic exercise in combinatorics would show that this is difficult. I can think of technologies capable of making this happen, but it could be expensive to complete. Sounds like a good project but could lead to some social/communal harm (it wasn't in the db so I invented it...). Would be a hell of a lot of fun to try to do though.
I think the difference is that cars built in a 40 year old factory with 40 year old equipment aren't as high quality as cars built in a new factory.
You won't be able to purchase Comics through the Comixology app either, as of v. 4.0.1.

I personally make the majority of my Amazon purchases through the Amazon/Kindle/Comixology apps on my phone, quite frankly because the process of doing it on my laptop requires several more steps (open laptop; open Amazon; re-authenticate with password manager; sign into Amazon; pull out 2FA token to complete sign in; find the thing; check out). For all the security trade-offs with Amazon's "1-Click" buy options, it really works. The loss of revenue is not going to be from things I research and plan to buy (e.g. if I order a new TV after hours of meticulous research), it's going to be the impulse buy's of $2 e-books and the like, where the added burden of logging in will force me to think about whether I really want this e-book enough anymore to finish jumping through all the hoops.

Maybe that's a plus in many people's eyes. But it's probably going to take a sizable hit on Amazon's bottom-line.
Besides being the first system exceeding the 1 Exaflop/s threshold, what is more impressive is that this is also the system with the highest ratio between computational speed and power consumption (i.e. the AMD devices have the first place in both Top500 and Green500).

The AMD GPUs with the CDNA ISA have surpassed in energy efficiency both the NVIDIA A100 GPUs and the Fujitsu ARM with SVE CPUs, which had been the best previously.

Unfortunately, AMD has stopped selling at retail such GPUs suitable for double-precision computations.

Until 5 or 6 years ago, the AMD GPUs were neither the fastest nor the most energy-efficient, but they had by far the best performance per dollar of any devices that could be used for double-precision floating-point computations.

However, when they have made the transition to RDNA, they have separated their gaming and datacenter GPUs. The former are useless for DP computations and the latter cannot be bought by individuals or small companies.
