That fact that Tesla only sells EVs and has no dealer network seems obvious but if you think the clarification is needed this is fine.
Haha terrific tip. Thank you :)
Privacy and security seem orthogonal to me.

Privacy is only one thing of many that could be assured via security. Imagine an office with glass walls, very little sound insulation, and a security guard at the door. The security guard and walls prevent physical attacks on the office occupant, thus ensuring their physical security, but it'd be difficult to say that office is private.
Well, the Hindu speak of things similar to winged donkeys, and of Hanuman’s army building the adam bridge.

And there is an Adam bridge. If a hundred thousand talking monkeys and a ragtag band of humans didn’t build that land bridge between India and Sri Lanka 10,000 years ago, then who did smart guy?
Could you pirate the database, then hide behind the fifth amendment to not reveal that you're a pirate while simultaneously asserting that you never agreed to any EULA? I'm not sure what the legal rights are here.

I'm certain someone in say, China or Russia, could pirate the database and run benchmarks on it with no repercussions. Surprising that this isn't a business model for an overseas technology analyst firm.
Truth Social (https://www.truthsocial.com/) | Engineering and Operations Roles | Sarasota, Florida USA or REMOTE (ONSITE preferred for some roles)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web, Android) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure). Our second product, TMTG+, is a Streaming Video on Demand (SVOD) service which provides content users want, without pushing a political agenda.

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

A current scaling challenge is AI/ML and automated abuse mitigation. We have both in-house and external ML tooling, but are seeking to expand the team -- i.e. we plan to scale anti-abuse through cores, not bodies, although we are also hiring for human moderator and anti-abuse roles to expand those teams as well.

A remaining area of interest is Android client development. We have a (12MB!) highly functional iOS client, a to-be-launched progressive web app, but want to build an Android team to build a first-class native experience for Android users.

Commercial induction woks go up to ludicrous power levels. I've seen 15 and 20 kW models online.
I wondered why someone would publish such a list, and happily there is a FAQ which answers that.

https://sive.rs/bfaq

Your comment was also addressed.

“Why don’t I see __(some book)___?”

I do read fiction, but I don’t take notes on it. For fiction, I prefer audiobook.

I also read hundreds of books before 2007, but didn’t start taking notes until I realized I was forgetting what I had read.

And ultimately, I only read things that apply to my life or current interests right now. I say no to all requests, and publishers asking me to do reviews.
> The Supreme Court also had a major role here. That was a 5-4 decision where the wife of one of the jurors was actively working for Bush's campaign/administration

“Justices” not “jurors”.
It's honestly like a black mirror episode. "I have to have maintain a mental model of how my black box ML car AI will act so I don't die or kill other road users... and it can be updated daily."
I wasn't aware of the poor response of the maintainers.

That contextualizes the situation quite clearly and explains the frustration better. Thanks for the explanation.
Thanks for the reply, I’m still curious though

> cycling is just usually a good way to maintain a temperature when you've got a pan and some food sitting on top of it since there's quite a bit of inertia in actually changing the temperature of whatever is on the stove.

Why precisely is cycling more effective than attenuating down (better word please?) the output? I don’t see what the thermal inertia of what’s on the cooktop has to do with making the optimal (for cooking) choice between cycling and modulating the power.

Without detailed knowledge of the precise energy and time costs, I think it’s a fair default assumption that continuous power modulation should be more efficient, because it’s in a sense a superset of cycling, with much more fine grained control, but you can always set the continuous power output to 0 or 1 to accomplish cycling if in a specific scenario it is helpful.

Maybe when you say “a good way” you mean “a good enough way”? That makes sense, but doesn’t really sell induction stoves relative to gas (if you want to sell induction stoves relative to gas, I suggest to downplay any cycling and promote the continuous output modulation)..

> There's nothing inherent about proprietary software that makes it convenient. Convenience is completely orthogonal to freedom. I get reminded of that every time I hear Windows-using friends' stories about their files getting deleted/drivers uninstalled/audio cards burned after Windows Update. Meanwhile, the free software world has been getting better and better as the time goes by. GNU/Linux just works for me nowdays.

But they have choice, no? They are free to use any existing alternative. So why do you care?

> Such views are not dogmatic, they are based on very practical arguments - for me the most important argument is "I don't want to run programs whose behavior I cannot change in case I need to". I don't want to let another person, let alone a corporation, run a program on my machine unless I (have a way to) know what it does.

Great for you. So you made your choice, there's plenty of software you can modify to choose from. Why does it bother you that some people do not care about that, whatever their reason is?

> And such views they help everybody, because proprietary software gives developers unjust power over their users. Owners of the computing machines ought to have control over what computation their machines do, it's their natural right by being owners of their computing machines. The sooner we get rid of proprietary software, the better it is for everyone, except the poor megacorps that will have to find yet another way to extract money without bringing value.

You know, I do a lot of open source code but I can see the other side of the coin. Which brings me to your last point:

> Software engineers can work regular day jobs, and still develop free software. Red Hat for example.

Do you? People who can do that are the lucky ones. But there are a lot of jobs out there depending on some proprietary software built by some (mega)corp that is lucky enough to have some paying customers who are happy to pay for it. They maybe don't care about their freedom because it's irrelevant to them. They care that it works the way things are advertised and someone does support for them.

> Not one of your arguments has convinced me that proprietary software is not completely immoral.

I wasn't even trying.
> You're arguing against something I never said, which is that private companies can do whatever they want.

True. My original reply in this thread was to the user "rvz". Then you replied to my reply.

All of these issues with Tesla cars and the stock still trades at 100x earnings. What dumb shit will old Musky Elon do to tank the stock price next I wonder? Is the halo of being the face of all the SpaceX and Tesla engineers' work going to fade away? Probably not.

On an unrelated note, just a friendly reminder that the Chevy Bolt is only $26k with 250 miles of range. How much is the most affordable phantom braking, Full-Self-Driving-driver-should-always-pay-attention, pedestrian-squishing Tesla again? Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive: $44,990 to $46,990. Huh.

They certainly try to enforce it via bureaucracy. My local Nissan dealer wouldn't even do an oil change on mine because they're not a GT-R certified dealer.
Yes, an HP-32SII RPN calculator. I teach math and sometimes have to do some calculations while lecturing. My fingers know how to do RPN by themselves, so I can use the calculator blind while continuing to speak. This can be a good trick to impress students. (They would be much less impressed if they ever saw me try to use a non-RPN calculator and fail at simple things.)

The calculator also comes in handy for tallying marks on exams, and it's much more pleasant to use than a calculator app on the computer. I do have Free42 installed everywhere but I don't use it that much.
King Phallus (1965)
Comparing loss rates from a 6-year all-out war to a 3-month "special military operation" is, of course, incredibly disingenuous.

In just three months Russia has lost at least a quarter of their combat ready tanks (~750 documented losses vs <3000 combat ready tanks), in a campaign that was supposed to be over in 15 days. This is clearly not going according to plan. This is clearly not in line with whatever "facts" the Russian military leadership "knew" going into the war.
It's heartwarming to see some people still enjoy the old breadbox and others still enjoy telling everyone everything was better on the Amiga.
You continue to not say anything concrete.

Yes, this is different. Vim is a TUI application which can easily run over vanilla SSH. VSCode is a GUI, which cannot. VSCode Remote runs the editor in a client/server mode, with all the UI running on the client and everything else seamlessly running on the server. There's none of the typical latency you get by running heavy operations such as full-text search on a mounted remote filesystem because they're run on the server.
I don't think it will happen with traditional VCs as Mittelstands require the same amount of initial funding in their seed phase. But offer way less returns.

> I set a rule for myself that I'll spend up to one minute trying to save an allocation. Beyond that it's not worth getting sidetracked.

My rule is that I'll do what is the easiest, unless it's an inner loop that runs all the time, where I'll try to make it fast.

In rust, usually the easiest is to not allocate or copy data. When it's easier to allocate or copy, I don't do a cost-benefit analysis at all, I just do it.
But Autopilot is not really a self driving vehicle though - it's basically just lane keeping + adaptive cruise control. It will gladly blow through a stop sign or a red light, it can't change lanes, or make turns, or do any other completely normal driving things that one would expect from a self driving car.
I switched to Render because they have a similar pipeline with deploy previews. It was quick to do.

Netlify wanted to go from $120/mo to $2k/mo.
Well that would be bad as the Chinese economy is going to get started meaning gas prices among others are heading way up -- as it will buy more of Russian oil -- which will impact also the U.S. indirectly. In essence the Fed at best is going to achieve move of wealth to China.

The good news is that supply of a lot of products should ramp up. Now how and when these products are going to make it to the markets is another question.
That looks like the boehm GC, but Boehm is conservative. In no way is the Boehm GC that I'm aware of is generational or incremental (though it is mark-sweep).

Start of long thread:

https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-11/msg005...

"I was poking at alloc.c recently and realized that the existing conservative GC code is somewhat unsafe. In particular,

1) mark_maybe_pointer looks only for exact matches on object start. It's perfectly legal for the compiler to keep an interior object pointer and discard the pointer to the object start.

2) INTERVAL is GCed, but it's not represented in the memory tree: struct interval isn't a real lisp object and it's allocated as MEM_TYPE_NON_LISP. Even a direct pointer to the start of an interval won't protect it from GC. Shouldn't we treat intervals like conses?

We've been getting by on dumb luck and the magnanimity of the compiler."

Boehm was dropped for good reason.
I think it's possible that Apple will buy Globalstar or somehow offer emergency messaging via satellite. It's even possible that Apple will offer some sort of satellite voice service, again possibly for emergency use only.

I'm much more skeptical about the idea of Apple trying to compete with normal cell carriers. The trend in wireless is to go to small cells so that a carrier can offer high bandwidth service (like 5G) to customers. A satellite would have an effective cell radius of several hundred km, and would not be able to offer broadband service to everyone in a densely-populated area.
When it comes to privacy UX matters. Modern apps should ask new users what type of experience they prefer before setting defaults.
"Dealers do what they do because it works, and it is largely what the consumer seems to prefer."

Not likely due to consumer preference, as its a given that dealership and buying experience is often hated by the consumer. look at this thread, talk to friends,and search the internet. Sure its anecdotal but its appears to be pretty consistent across the board despite not being a scientific survey.

Heck even carmax created their business model around how the consumer hates the buying process and even though carmax often charges more in the $2.5K - $4K range than what you can negotiate elsewhere they are still around.

Its more that they (the dealership) has a very strong lobbying influence and have rigged the market in their favor where the consumer has to take it. Like making themselves a forced middleman.

kind of how comcast is often rated among its own customer at the top of the most hated company list year after year ,yet they stay in business.

All Teslas are "vision-based" now. They no longer use the RADAR even in cars that have it.

This is probably so they can have only one software build rather than supporting one with and one without RADAR. And also so that they can say the RADAR isn't needed anyway.

I think you could easily reproduce the gas experience with a combination of induction and convective heating. It'd be more reliable and it would be easy to have a set temperature rather than needing the wait staff to periodically adjust the burner. It would need appropriate cost and engineering. Plus the under table apparatus would probably be much smaller.

The wood charcoal experience is of course very unique.
In fairness, should they? It was your vehicle, insured by the carrier of your choice, with the coverage and cost tradeoffs of your choice. I would certainly expect Lyft to pay enough to make it worthwhile after all costs, including fuel and insurance. But should they be on the hook for the actual repair costs? If so, for how much? Should they repair a brand new Mercedes the same as a 20 year old Honda?

I get some of the drawbacks to gig-based work, but I think you have to realize that it does enable options that wouldn't exist in traditional employment scenarios, and SOME of the risk does remain with the contractor. No, I'm not saying Lyft has no responsibility in any situation, but getting into a garden-variety accident while on the road definitely sounds like a situation that's within the envelope of known risks when you decide to do this kind of thing on a gig basis.
It does result in cease and desist threats quite often. We have been on the receiving end of one.

Why would this disincentivize construction? If anything, building a home without gas infrastructure should be cheaper. Lower building costs. One less utility meter to be installed. Reduced "impact" charges. Assuming it doesn't lead to a decrease in new home demand vs older homes with gas, this should be a boon to the construction industry.
I think it depends on what you call hard. Things you listed usually make things unergonomic, not necessarily hard. You can still do a lot of stuff with async Rust, but it often requires a lot more boilerplate and compromises.

Granted, it can be hard, but I wrote a lot of async code, including async streams, traits, saving `Future`s for later execution etc and usually you don't need anywhere near as much complexity as was presented in the first post.

This relates to a difficult topic, which is: should modern civilization be 100% carbon neutral?

Some things are inherently difficult to make electric, yet we need them to have what we'd call a "modern civilization". Planes are the biggest one: there is a drive to use more trains instead of planes, but should we give that up? It is definitely a step backwards in civilization, as large parts of the world are now impossible to go to and from. Some people admonish flight tourism as hedonistic and say it harms the planet: but should people not be allowed to travel intercontinentally? Is that the world we want?

I believe the investment in carbon capture and greenhouse gases abatement should be increased. Not just because we'll not meet our climate goals and need a way to clean our atmosphere, but because even if we do we still need some things that burn fossil fuels (possibly for hundreds of years).

In that sense, if all of our energy grid was renewable, heavy industries didn't burn coal, and all cars were also electric, would it matter that we have gas stoves and other modern conveniences? Maybe not.
