Unfortunately, product quality after 150k miles of life doesn't tell you anything about what's coming off the line right now. Most of the company will have churned over in the intervening decade. The car which was built 10 years ago won't even be on the market right now. Even if the brand name is still the same (eg, long-lived pickup truck names like the F150), the vehicle itself will be completely different.

So you might be interested in mid-life or end-of-life quality, but you can't measure it early in the vehicle's life without an accelerated life test of some kind, and you can't measure it statistically without doing so on many vehicles. JD Power's initial quality survey is just that: A simple consumer survey of defects reported early in the vehicle's life. Hence the name: initial quality.

I hope you're right, but they had an entire scene in the last episode where the main characters complained at Bezos for cutting off funding.

This is not the mark of a show that they plan to renew. :-(
Which roughly covers the actual damage large trucks do per km traveled and in no way covers construction costs.
They also support native Apple iOS push notifications (not just for new mail, but also edits/deletes IIRC), so their integration with Apple's native iOS mail app is outstanding. Been using FastMail that way for years and it's been working flawlessly. About the only time I use the Fastmail app is when I want to reply to an email sent to a catch-all address and reply from that address (haven't found a way to do that from the native Apple mail app).

The ones who don't, IME, tend to at least sympathize with the point of view to some degree.
There are several things wrong with this line of thinking. The first error is that telling someone that words don't hurt doesn't automatically create an independent sense of self worth in someone. Instead it teaches people to not share pain caused by words. To some people, this has the appearance of working - namely it isn't brought up again, but it does nothing to solve the problem of the experience of pain people feel.

The second is an error in generalization that may very well apply to people who do have this skill, but has disastrous consequences for those that don't. The people who experience live this way would do well to understand the type of person they are giving such advice to before they assume that everyone experiences the world as they do.

As someone at the receiving end of advice like this. It doesn't help. What ends up ensuing follows a similar pattern to all patterns based on individuating ideologies - the person isn't doing it right, or didn't try hard enough. People learn to not express their feelings instead.

Lastly, making a distinction between objective and subjective pain is trying to carve out phenomenological categories that simply don't exist.
I wish I had read Gabor Mate MD and Gordon Neufeld's book "Hold on to your kids"

Here's Chapter one from the book on their website:
https://drgabormate.com/book/hold-on-to-your-kids/hold-on-to...

There is a window of time from ages 0 to 5 in which critical aspects of a child, their relationship to their parents and family, and the broader world are developed. Our western industrial culture does not support parents and families in their attempts to parent well during that window of time. In order to parent well then, you will most likely need to develop a counter-cultural lifestyle. This book can help you understand why that is important, and how you might do it yourself.

Parenting is a massive undertaking and an unparalleled joy. Congratulations!
Similar to the decision to own a building or rent. Moving is a real pain and can kill companies. Better get a long lease with lots of extension options because at the end of the lease your rent is going to go way up.
I’m not saying that that list were major stars. I’m saying they were known with substantial resumes.

I don’t recognize a single person in the RoP list. I watch 100 movies a year. Not a single person.

So my point is that that is weird and there’s no precedent that I know of where a show used complete unknowns for every role and was good.

I think giving unknown actors is a great idea. For some roles, not all.
If there is less cattle, less farmland is needed to grow fodder. That farmland is then available for growing food for people. This way the same amount of farmland can feed more people.

Reducing cattle farming increases the efficiency of food production.

I think (and hope) the platform will still be allowed to pop up a “do you want to give this app permission to do Foo?” dialog, as long as it does so the same for all apps, independent of developer or app store it was downloaded from.

I also would hope the platform can still restrict browsers in what they can do, as long as that’s applied uniformly across all browsers, but I’m less certain about that.

If everything is Anime, isn't the term meaningless ?

Also I think this article misrepresents anime's increasing super popularity.

The most popular anime (and even light novels) lately are wish fulfillment fantasies. People who are losers in our world, end up in another world where they are special and valued. They find friendship, adventure, and love.

Russia even banned Isekai animes a while back to prevent kids from committing suicide.

My theory is people are unhappy with the increasing competition in their lives.
We compete with more people than ever in the globalized economy for jobs.We compete with other people for relationships on Tinder/OkCupid/etc. Not everyone can be a winner.

I also think this explains why so many people are snapping when their last refuge of fiction(video games, movies,tv) get altered not to their preference.
Tesla owners tend to be happier with the supercharger network and the software, but less happy about the build quality and the car physically falling apart at 8,000 miles. They're also less happy about paying five figures for a software product it's looking like most won't get to use before they sell their car. And the software doesn't transfer.
That was already the normal long before flatpak. Installing the same packages with your distro package manager will also install the same several gigabytes. The number you see in flatpak might be an illusion though, the real amount of space taken up on disk is less: https://blogs.gnome.org/wjjt/2021/11/24/on-flatpak-disk-usag...

So flatpak may actually be a solution to the problem that you don't realize. It can only cause a big issue if you have a lot of old software that never updates the runtime.

We tell people that we're banning them, and why: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... - but only once the account has an established history. We treat new accounts differently, for reasons I've explained before:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21288858

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20666742

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20289994

It's a bimodal distribution. With established accounts, we warn them before banning, usually several times, and then tell them we're banning them and why. With new accounts, we don't say we're banning, because banned-new-accounts are overwhelmingly spammers and trolls—often serial trolls who have been banned many times and know exactly what they're doing. The cost-benefit of explaining why we're banning the account in those cases is completely different. To repeat from one of the comments I just linked to:

it is a balance between transparency and defending the site against abuse. If we tried to give every banned account the same high-effort attention that we give established users, we'd do nothing else all day and still not get through them all. That would just be a new vector for people to DoS the moderators. A small number of abusive users can create a large number of disruptions. There is also a significant amount of spam, and if we told spammers we were banning them, they would spam us with emails demanding attention, asking why, and telling us how high-quality their articles really are. Actually they do this a lot already, and it's a pain.

This does leave one class of accounts who unfortunately are the losers in this cat-and-mouse game: new accounts that get shadowbanned even though they were neither spammers nor trolls. It sounds like that is what happened in your case. Sometimes a new account shows up, and in its first post(s) behaves like a spammer or a troll would. That's when we use shadowbanning, but since we don't see the future, later it sometimes turns out to be a legit user who goes on to make good posts that get killed because we banned them.

This happens and it sucks. We can't see into the account's future posts, nor can we ever know for sure that an account is spamming or trolling...it's all just pattern matching and sometimes a pattern matches on the early data points and diverges later on. The only solution I know of in such cases is to correct it later: either because we notice good comments that are [dead] and investigate, or because we hear from other users "hey, are you sure $username should be banned"? - and we look them up, see the mistake and unban them. It's particularly helpful to alert us to such cases, so if anyone notices an account that is banned and shouldn't be, we'd greatly appreciate hearing about it at hn@ycombinator.com.*"
No, We Don't Have to Choose Batch Sizes as Powers of 2
What makes these kind of particles interesting and "exotic" is that they are not the kind of particles the Standard Model was originally developed to describe. Those particles, mesons and baryons, consist of two and three quarks, respectively, with some quantum numbers that must obey certain rules for the particles to exist, and we have found that (almost?) all of the two and three quark combinations allowed by the rules are in fact observable as particles in experiments.

But those rules for the quantum numbers can also be fulfilled with certain combinations of four or five quarks, and there is nothing in the Standard Model that either forbids or requires these combinations to exist as real particles. So it was new information when the first resonances that could be interpreted as those kind of particles were discovered and it is interesting that there are more of these. But it is not unexpected, either, the earliest paper on pentaquarks cited on the wikipedia page is from 1987.

So it is indeed close to business as usual. It is interesting, and new, but is is still filling out the corners of the Standard Model.

We own a 2018 Pacifica minivan, when we bought it the manager told us the electronics were the most added parts on the vehicle. I purchased the upgraded warranty, which I never do. Thank God I did! The Uconnect system is wanky, we had battery problems almost from the start. The last recall for the ESS seems to have fixed the problem. Many people online have given up and said they dumped the van. The van itself is really an awesome vehicle, the electronics side still needs some sorting out. I can't help but feel that Chrysler made us owners guinea pigs.
What do you wonder about the motor?
Thanks for this...

I should read a bit more on this, but also wonder, what would be the problem with people deciding it is illegal in some states, and illegal in others?

Although I find it should be legal, within certain limits, what's holding people back from voting, or moving to another state which more closely matches their politician views?

Similar to the EU it is low friction to move state, right? When plenty of people apparently oppose abortion, why not let them..
That is a really good point, and the 3090s have a surprising amount of VRAM on them. For many smaller models this is sufficient. However, where I work without going into a lot of specifics, because of the size of the models, the amount of VRAM is crucial, as well as the infrastructure of the PCI lanes connected to it, the speed of the local storage, and the networking between both cards on the same node as well as between nodes.

The moment the model gets to be bigger than the size of any one GPU's VRAM, the higher by orders of magnitude of difficulty in the process of training that model.
Go for it! IIRC it was suggested by someone else in the #langdev channel on the Rust Community Discord, so I can't claim to own the idea.

>We are not talking about GDPR or "socialism" or whatever. We're talking about regulating Apple so that other mega corporations can create their own app stores on iOS and then do whatever they want.

So don't use those. Personally I'll mostly stick to Apple's app store along with some Free Software one where I download Firefox and some other open source apps.
I have read something similar somewhere in the sphere of StrongTowns, I believe. Basically the story goes that infrastructure was paid for by expansion, which required more infrastructure; and so the pyramid scheme was made. The people got these godawful strip malls, "stroads", and suburban sprawl. The towns kicked the problem down the road but once the expansion has to stop, the whole thing comes apart.

Hazen created mineral evolution as an organizational scaffold to help his intro mineralogy students. And then incrementally pushed it younger, eventually becoming a NOVA episode.

Wielding primary research to create more accessible and powerful content for young students, seems massively underutilized. And very poorly incentivized. The most used college intro astronomy texts can't be bothered to even get the color of the Sun right. What might science education content look like, if it were much more mineral evolution and much less yellow Sun?

I disagree. This isn't FedEx's core competency or a differentiator for them. They're also not at a scale where it could make sense to colocate or build their own DCs. Fiddling with low-level tech infra would just be a distraction.

Now, they might find that software is a differentiator for them, but that's different.
Essentially, you smash particles together. When you do so, they will give off a bunch of energy.

That energy forms into a bunch of particles, each of which will then decay into less esoteric particles.

We have no proof (and it's probably impossible to do so), that anything we've found is fundamental.
Is there a primal drive in most people though? I do not think any of my friends in high school or in college had any great longing of becoming a father - did you? They had plenty of other drives, though. So if this primal drive you speak of exists, it must somehow appear out of seemingly nowhere - indeed out of aversion - after one's mid 20. And the mechanism for that eludes me. What sort of hormonal changes lead to it? Is it a gradual change, or do you wake up one morning and think 'God, you know what I'd really love? To be looking after a baby!'
No, not really, from the OP

>After a bit of testing with Restart-Computer and shutdown /r /f, I've found that no officially-documented shutdown command or function comes close in speed -- they both take a fair bit of time to work, and importantly, they both register in the Event Log as a clean shutdown.

I remember a golden age of programming reddit and HN in the late 2000s that inspired me learn a bunch of new programming languages, Haskell the biggest influence among them. It seemed like people were always posting their own personal languages, lisps (I remember the hot takes on Arc lol), and such all the time. I have very fond memories of going through Jack Crenshaw's "Let's Build a Compiler" after seeing it posted a bunch of times, then trying to build my own language in a similar vein.

Cheers to you, and I hope you're learning and having fun working on your project!
> That the surveillance apparatus might know you visited a doctor, and what you discussed, does not grant the government the ability to prosecute you based on that information - because it is considered to be a matter of the private activities of a citizen.

I'd be swayed by this except that post-Snowden we know that the surveillance apparatus can be used for "parallel construction" where the evidence to charge/try/convict a person may be based on evidence that hides the fact of illegal surveillance.

The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to "recreate" the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant's Constitutional right to a fair trial.
