A Hummer H3 is less than 5,000 pounds. The EV Hummer is about 9,000. This is a vehicle that's much heavier than almost anything on the road that isn't a commercial vehicle, including similar ICE vehicles.

(And for what it's worth, I don't think Tesla should get a free pass here. Tesla Model S's generally weigh about 4,000 to 5,000 pounds, which is awfully heavy for a Sedan. They just don't look heavy, so people don't think about it.)

I'm in favor of EVs generally, but I think the would would get along just fine if there wasn't an electric Hummer.

I don’t know about school shootings, but guns are banned in Puerto Rico and the island has 4 times the homicide rate of the US and 6 times the homicide rate of India. Pakistan has way more guns than most Latin American countries but much lower homicide rates.

Homicide rates in the new world have been vastly higher than in Europe and Asia for hundreds of years, long before modern gun control. At the turn of the 20th century, the homicide rate in the US was 10x higher than the UK: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/h/humfig/images/11217607.0002.206...

A single doctor at a single hospital developed this theory and then tested
it. There is a foundation which is partly funded by the state, but they
just promulgate the ideas... it's up to the hospitals to do the mortality
review and apply what they've learned there. There's really no fingerprint
of recent government efficiency to be found here.

What connection is there between government efficiency and life span of
citizens? This is a minefield of variables.

Aren't minimum wages significantly different between California and Texas?
Wasn't this phased in around that time? How much of this increase is due
to this?

We can contrast California to states like Idaho, which spend 2/3 of what
California spends per student and yet gets far better outcomes than
California does. California has the lowest rate of education attainment
out of any state in the country.

The infrastructure is crumbling. New projects are consumed by consultant
driven graft. Sacramento is generally paralyzed by special interests. The
complete lack of action on homelessness is tragic for the absolute volume
of human life just discarded on the side of the road. Gas prices are absolutely
ridiculous and the state is hoarding tax dollars during grotesque inflation.

8 years ago.. I would have agreed, California may have been a little shabby, but
it was still on a great track. Today I have far less faith in the state, particularly
considering the Governor appears to be desirous of a presidential campaign and
the state is about to be used as a prop in his endeavors.
Full EV is obviously the dream, but I have been interested in cars like the e-power Nissan Note which is a series hybrid. Same concept as a diesel electric train essentially. The car is mechanically an EV, but with a small 3 cylinder engine used to charge the (much smaller than usual) battery. Sounds insane at face value, but the the setup is far more efficient than a regular ICE setup, getting 1000-1300km range out of a 45litre tank. In a country like Australia where I can be city driving one week but still need to do 1500km journeys to go see family, this is a truly attractive stop-gap and they also end up being far cheaper to buy.

They fill a very big niche for people who need an efficient car but don't have plugin capabilities or need more range but can't afford a full EV, or maybe a full EV doesn't work for them.
> it is clearly in response to territorial aggressiveness from China

Abe's been trying to re-militarize JP since his first term in mid 2000s, long before PRC military modernization began. You suggest he's precient, but history + his associations/controversies suggest a revisionist national hawk who loves his war criminals that understands Japan has territorial issues with everyone of her maritime neighbours and needs a proper non-pacifist military for "self-defense". No one in the west seems like to discuss that Japan, a loser of WW2 who should have her territories prescribed via treaty, has shown zero ability to address any of her linger disputes, including SCS tier EEZ drama (Okinotorishima). At end of day, it's within JP self interest to re-militarize, but let's not pretend Abe/LDP's questionable attachment to revisionsm aren't responsible for causing much of the maritime drama in the region.
> For inference, models should be compiled down directly to WASM or WebGPU

I mean, yes? Whether for inference or for training, ML operators are usually implemented in compiled low level languages. That implementation might also take advantage of GPUs.

> ... if you're going interpreting a list of operations ...

I'm not sure what "interpreting a list of operators" means here.

To clarify why I mentioned the implementation language, I recently had to modify the source code of Tract to get my model running (I will push that change upstream at some point). I would not have (been able to do that), had tract been written in C++, for example.

This is a fun project, but at least for my uses is a bit hamstrung by SheepShaver's capabilities. Most of my desires/needs for Classic Mac OS are PPC-era, which rules out the use of the stable and generally capable Basilisk II… I'd need to use SheepShaver instead, which is ok but generally more crashy and has more shortcomings.

Beyond this project, there's a fork of QEMU that emulates a PowerMac G3 pretty well and is generally nicer than SheepShaver, but doesn't emulate a GPU properly and as such isn't suitable for some things (mainly games).

So for now I have a 500Mhz PowerBook G3 Pismo I pull out as needed, but it'd be really cool to have a full featured PPC Mac in a more compact form factor.
Sure we'd also get along fine if there were no Hummers at all, gas or electric. But some people are going to make Hummers and some people are going to buy them. If the ones they buy are electric that's still a net win.

I think your argument still holds. Japanese politicians usually have really relaxed security details partly because it's hard to get a gun in Japan. This kind of shooting is an exception, not a norm.

Shockingly megacrop inc. are crying that it is socialism to make only $1 and that noble capitalists like them are doing it right and making $99.

Nancy Pelosi has been CA rep for decades and she is worth over $100M, meanwhile California education system is shit, the prison system is shit, taxes are among the highest in the US, income inequality is fucked, water is fucked, electricity is fucked. Same goes for all those politicians like Diane Feinstein, etc.

The last time a Republican had any presence in California was 30 years ago and the Dems have driven this state off a cliff. Why do Californians still keep falling for the same grift election after election? It doesn't matter who you vote for, all they do is steal from the people for their own gain and we keep voting for them because they give us lip service on particular causes.

This is genius (sort-of).

It solves a specific and practical need without being too grandiose.

In the long term, an independent, non-profit, social enterprise, government-sponsored entity would be a better vehicle for this because whichever states, federal (Medicare, Medicaid, VA), pension funds, AARP, and/or insurance companies could back it in order to reduce their costs. It's far better to pool the risks, minimize duplicated effort, and reap the rewards using scale.

I'm sure they'll add their own responses, but I've seen some tremendous issues caused by legacies like this. I spent a solid week including a case opened with Microsoft attempting to determine why Outlooks "report as phishing" button didn't work. That's definitely harming security, people stopped reporting phishing. The root cause was a Windows XP era Internet Explorer hardening policy that served no purpose on a modern desktop.
In 2019, Microsoft removed a recommendation for an old font related security setting[0].

From a management level, a wide variety of modern best practices are already the default from Windows 2019 or so. The cognitive effort of looking at 50 security settings and convincing yourself they are all reasonable and won't break things is substantively better than the 400 or so we used to have. It's one thing to inherit this sort of legacy but it's a much worse thing to be implementing all these policies in a greenfield 2022 environment because they are all on some checklist.

> and as such must take more dramatic measures to prevent it from falling into the hands of some regime

Yet funnily when that was in the process of happening (Trump's failed coup attempt) not only were there no "good guys with guns" against the regime, all the guys with the guns were for the regime trying to make a coup.
They will charge by time (like by day as is common now) in most cases, since metering by usage often requires being regulated as a utility.

Yes. Those who trade their fundamental freedoms for a little greater safety will eventually have neither.

One thing that I did skip over: the limiting factors in manufacturing.

judging by the pictures on the Samsung marketing page, the nucleus of their current design is down to 15 atoms for the highest frequency dot.
in this case size does matter in terms of constitution; they might need to change the recipe for UV dots.

manufacturing larger elements (under similar production conditions) often results in an increase to the defect rate.
This could increase the cost for infrared dots.

If any one does have any actual understanding of these things, I have been wondering:

What is the impact to frequency response in spheroid quantum dots and is directionality impacted?

Here's the kicker: your modified code snippet may still not be copyrightable if it's generic enough that everyone would do it in a similar manner.

It's not an inconvenient truth. It's a non sequitur designed to make people think gas vehicles are better or equivalent to EVs.

Yes power generation in many parts of the world still produces lots of CO2. We all know that. You're not more clever than the rest of us for pointing it out.

But to decarbonize we have to address both cars and power generation. It's okay for us to talk about electric vehicles in isolation. These problems can be dealt with independently.

Every time there's talk about EVs some smartass is saying "it's pointless cause we're burning coal to power them". Such an attitude of "nothing is worth it unless we fix everything at once" once promotes apathy and inaction, and is just plain annoying.
