I had one of these as a child (actually I still have it and it works nicely). We definitely didn't think of it as intelligent in any way. It was hilarious and once we found out about 8 track tapes (which weren't a thing in the UK) enjoyed how cleverly the tape had been put together with the different tracks being aligned. It also used a lot of robot sounds to fill blank spots needed because some questions/answers would be different lengths on different tracks.

I like to listen to Science Friday on NPR. Usually they have a theme over the show and then talk about a few different subjects. It's scientific, and they say the applications, but not really in an educational way.

It seems to me companies beyond a certain size become so dysfunctional that no one person can handle a situation like this coherently. It's all different factions internally each pursuing their own objectives, protecting their turf or fighting for survival. It's likely there's not so much the customer service team could have done.

It's not like a small business where the owner themselves can guarantee high quality services
This is the same in every country, including the US where entire agencies will just stop talking to you if you piss them off (especially police departments.) It's one of the ways we get all this propaganda even though we have a nominally "free" press.

Thanks, I'm looking for recommendations on portals/websites where part-time/freelance work is advertised. Basically, how can I find this type of work for my skills. Between my start-up and this search, I don't have the time to learn more skills.
Trash Theory is a really cool and informative channel :-)
The argument is purely technical so you can divorce it from the mouth it is being uttered from and consider it on its own merits.

To me it makes sense, but I had similar thoughts independently before reading this article. The only assumption is that battery manufacturing will remain challenging for the near future.
Looking at Europe's history of Christian-on-Christian religious wars - century after century after century... And at the blind eye which major "Christian" churches in Germany turned to the Holocaust. And the systematic horrors (espec. child sexual abuse) in many Church-run organizations. And increasing education. And the ...

I'd say that the established Christian institutions of Western Europe mostly killed themselves, with no American televangelical help needed.
Idk.

I got scammed buying a NAS from a smb electronics shop recently. No one will ever know. No one cares.

Logically I think it's far more likely that big companies are compliant because they operate so much in the open and are under constant scrutiny. Every disgruntled customer has the potential to go viral and do enormous damage.

I think Google's results could be a lot better but I'm relatively ok with my search being provided by a for profit company. Their incentive is to get me to want to use their product. A non profit with that much power might be more tempted to manipulate search in ways that suit their personal preferences.
I’m kind of confused about product-market fit evolving backwards but find it helpful to see items that are available at present. Maybe Best Buy has a compare item feature that enables you to closely view product requirements.
I think they're very impressive but they still make obvious mistakes that a human wouldn't. I think it's far more likely that they'll become tools that programmers use to increase their productivity than outright replacing programmers.

For the next 10 years at least. Beyond that who knows. If we get strong AI then we have bigger things to worry about than one sector's jobs.
Why not call it Mumble then?

While the modding restrictions are bemusing to me as well coming from open source software, the introduction of Wabbajack a couple years ago greatly streamlined things so that you had one curated install that could encompass hundreds of mods.

Also cars, do not have to be today's cars. Like, the market fucked us all over with this SUV craze. It should be first priority to reverse this madness. Nobody needs to drive around in a 5ton tank. Second, inner city driving should be done in even smaller cars. You do not need a full sized car, designed for seating 5, just for commuting or to go shopping.
The sad part is, I have literally lost brands. Just entirely been unsure what I used to buy, because I buy based upon look, not just on product name.

EG, I buy battered fish in a blue box, the box disappeared from my main grocery store. When I went to my less visited store, it was gone there too. Literally, I just picked a random replacement brand.

Another thing which gets me, is marketers think everyone buys things weekly. And I once noticed a product I was hunting for with "New look!" on the box, but if was the last of the "New look!" boxes, the ones behind tem were missing the pronouncement.

I'm buying fish sticks here, and I do so once every 6 months, and throw a bunch of boxes in my deep freeze.

I'm not tied into what "exciting change" some yahoo thinks their product is going through, nothing is exciting about the food I buy, I just want fish sticks.

The box could remain the same for 100 years, and I'd buy the same thing, as long as the taste and quality inside didn't diminish.

UI designers ruined Gnome, ruined my fish sticks, ruination upon us all due to UI designers.

Ostensibly purely technical arguments can be carefully crafted to present a particular message. It's a tactic that works well for certain audiences.

It does not matter either way, in the EU selling anything but full electric will be illegal as of 2035. If Toyota wants to get out of that lucrative market, it can go ahead.
Hope this takes off. Also hope he works on his math when it comes to funding, 1% of 40 billion is 400 million, not 4 :p
Address validation is the biggest piece of automation that needs to stop.

You're not going to stop people from misentering addresses, and many countries have terrible validation or streets that don't exist yet take forever to show. Or the system that suddenly decides to start doing validation doesn't actually accept valid addresses.

Companies think automation can handle it, but it's an absolute nightmare.
I think we both agree that complaining in public is cathartic. However, it isn't always the most productive nor protective (of your own emotional state) option available. If that is realized at all, it typically is only with hindsight.
Easley, I have to ask, was that a typo or highlighting your point?
Thank you! I will try to apply both of your suggestions when I get back to work from vacation :) looking forward to your articles, I think the topic has a lot of potential.
It might not be nanoseconds, but something that's a power of 2 number of nanoseconds going into an appropriately small container seems likely. For example, a 62.5MHz counter going into 53 bits breaks at the same limit. Why 53 bits? That's where things start to get weird with IEEE doubles - adding 1 no longer fits into the mantissa and the number doesn't change. So maybe someone was doing a bit of fp math to figure out the time or schedule a next event? Anyway, very likely some kind of clock math that wrapped or saturated and broke a fundamental assumption.
Prius isn't light either (1500 kg) vs Tesla 3 (1800). Funny how for the last 10 years the main problem for EV was low range, and now the problem is... too much range?

Toyota is free to make PHEVs, people is free to buy PHEVs or EVs. We'll see who ends up being the Beta (claimed superior by fans but zero sells) and the VHS.
EVs are the only answer because they are the most convenient ones. For commute with charging at home and at the office or shopping (charging at shopping center), no more trip to the gas station. Convenience always wins.
I see, I could add a whole chapter on useful vim plugins! Thanks for the suggestion!

In addition to surround, what other plugins do you think beginners should almost always use?
Lower than what? What are Levine’s claims to that effect? He states that Musk’s lawyers are likely hoping he’d have to pay only the $1B breakup fee, and Twitter is looking for the full “specific performance” $33B. There is little certainty about the outcome at this point.
The ambiguity and implementation divergences caused by implicit behavior is why I'm in favor of linear typing, with explicit function calls to destroy objects, and the compiler verifies you destroy each object exactly once on each execution path (but does not introduce new behavior beyond the source code). Stack unwinding could either be removed, or call the "default destructor" of any objects when a panic occurs in a region of the code where an object is not yet destroyed.
> It does not matter either way, in the EU selling anything but full electric will be illegal as of 2035.

That is not accurate. It will not be possible to buy a new non-zero emission car.

I think that we are past the point the search engine could just crawl the web and rank results based on some heuristics. We need both community curation and get librarians involved with their classification systems, because in 3 years the results are going to be dominated by automated GPT-xy content farms.

Case in point: www.forkandspoonkitchen.org

The first search engine that provides community curation and manages to get most tech-savvy people on board, classifying the content for free, is going to reign in the upcoming decade as Google loses its grip.
It's no different at all. You'll be excluded from press clubs and conferences just the same. Identical situation.
"Self charging hybrid", that's all you need to know
> This huge battery, of which maybe 1/4 or 1/3 is used throughout a day, is a huge inefficiency to manufacture and adds significantly to the CO2 footprint of BEVs.

No, it doesn't. This myth has been repeated over and over for twenty-plus years, as long as the Prius has been around. The CO2 footprint of the battery is dwarfed by the footprint of the car as a whole, and the in the case of a gasoline vehicle, its manufacturing footprint is dwarfed by its CO2 emissions:
https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/comparative-l...

A BEV is better for the environment after barely a year of usage:

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/lifeti...

There are other reasons for having a larger battery. For one, the larger the pack, the less wear on the pack; a smaller pack would be cycled more, and degrade sooner.

Charge/discharge rates are a function of battery capacity. The higher the rate relative to the pack's capacity, the higher the wear on the battery.
Scrape the web. Same way Google do it.
The general answer here is that a nonprofit cannot maintain the (massive) amount of resources it takes to address spam/abuse/blackhat SEO etc, while a for-profit entity ostensibly has a profit motive to do a decent job, and the resources to do so.

When a for profit entity is more successful at fighting abuse, their users are happier and they sell more ads and so can devote more resources to fighting spam. When a nonprofit successfully fights spam, they don't get more resources, and the spammers upgrade their toolboxes, because they do have a profit incentive.
Toyota is even dragging their feet with PHEV’s. Their marketing for Toyota and Lexus still talks about ‘self charging’ hybrids.
We use Stripe as our primary, when Shopify Payments became available in our region (France) it routed through Paypal.

I couldn't see any backend option to select the preferred Shopify Payments backend processor, but would be interested if you have insight into how to achieve this.

In what gives weight to the GP, we enabled Shopify Payments, confirmed it went through PayPal and switched back to Stripe to avoid the "process with PP for a week and then have them freeze your funds for 6 months" grind.
> Why is this a major concern? There's no possibility for me to plug in at home and my EV works just fine.

It’s not a major concern. It’s just a buying factor. For those who can plug in at home it’s a plus. It’s a weak con for me. I’d rather not have to do two 60 minutes charges a week vs 4 minutes at a fuel station.

It’s light years from a scientific study but I definitely notice a lot more EVs on residential streets with off-street parking than not. In the UK at least it’s easy to spot/count them as the number plates have a green stripe indicating zero emissions.
there is a very simple physical reason hydrogen for personal transport is not feasible: electrolyzer to fuel cell efficiency is much lower than charging a battery.

we simply don't have enough green energy to afford wasting it on use Cases were batteries are feasible, and this won't change for some time. the article acknowledges that btw, and that is coming from a company that has a vested interest in the contrary due to selling the Mirai.
A British man's overdose on Vitamin D
TL;DR

Shinzo Abe was associated with a religious group 'Church of Unification'... that motivated Tetsuya Yamagami to target and kill Shinzo Abe.

Yamagami told investigators that he blamed a “religious group” (i.e. the Unification Church) for inducing his mother to donate so much money that it bankrupted the family. He initially prepared to kill a church leader, but gave up after deciding it was too difficult. Yamagami then turned his focus on Abe, whom he was aware promoted the church at some level.
That’s because the ethnicity of a criminal is usually not a relevant detail. It is not similar to the Japanese media hiding the motive of the assassination.
There's no such thing as range anxiety, there's only range inconvenience

I am conflicted when it comes to stuff like that:

- on the one hand I really want free, open and non profit services to succeed

- at the same time I greatly value the user experience

Don't get me wrong: These two things can go hand in hand. There are tons of good examples out there.

But, the closer you get to classic user-centric applications and leave the software developer bubble, the greater the discrepancy becomes in my experience. Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox and so on are desirable. But I always feel like I am missing out on the UX.

Google still yields better search results FOR ME(even with all those ads and clickbait).

Firefox still feels a bit dated and slow compared to Chrome.

I value the positive effects of free software so much that I am willing to accept limitations in usability in the hope that it will improve over time. But I feel like it should not be this way.

I can't support every project financially or contribute to its success as a contributor. My time and financial resources are limited.

I haven't really found a solution for this problem. My best guess is that the government should intervene in the free market and install market barriers to tame giants like Google. But this is repugnant to the liberal in me.
Oh, and don't get me started on flavour or product change.

I don't want "new and improved". Stop it! Leave my tasty thing alone. The number of times I've changed brands, and never gone back, because "improved"...

And the worst, I buy frozen pizza. Unlike my fellow shoppers, I buy for the best crust flavour, and only meat.

Why?

Because if you want good frozen pizza, buy great crust, meat only, the put fresh veggies on it! Meat freezes well, not so much veggies.

Lately, one brand has added "croissant crust" and also "cheese in crust", and unless a supermarket is the size of all creation, it doesn't have room for one brand with 8 types, by 3 styles.

The result? The best crust, without extra calories(cheese), is now impossible to find.

I had to switch brands.

Just stop it ffs!

"and deity knows they need the cash"

Why would they need the cash given that they have their own currency? Isn't that fixed exchange rate Gold standard thinking rather than the modern free floating currency approach?

Russia has no need of dollars or Euros because it can't buy anything with them. So it swaps them immediately for Rubles, so that oil companies can pay the wages of their staff, which then increases the exchange rate of Rubles against dollars and Euros.

And that's what is happening. Russians need Rubles because that's what they pay taxes in.

Russia is perfectly capable of driving its own output using its own internal monetary system.

The propaganda isn't coming solely from where you think it is coming from.
I don't mind profits but monopolies are always bad for the consumer. I wonder what innovation would have happened in search if it had been more competitive.
I don't see any other practical way, and since the 0 day is rare it makes sense to choose to protect it rather than prosecute every crime revealed through its use or use it against too many targets. As long as they get warrants that's enough of a check and balance for me.
The article completely fails to mention the issue of air quality in cities. One of the things I'm most looking forward to is walking around the city centre without getting diesel fumes blasted in my face.

Worse than that: it's very close to universal on some sites, like Twitter.

Yep, it's a positive feedback loop.
They mention the OP in passing at the very end of the thread (OP is dated November 18, 2020 [1]; tweet is from July 9, 2022). Indeed, down in that thread, they even include an image from OP with attribution cropped!

Btw, the first image in the thread is also a very widely shared image on Twitter with no attribution. Earliest I found in a quick reverse image search is from Dec 13 2018 [2], but I doubt it's the original.

High end figures are 1 trillion. Those are pushing it a bit.

It's nowhere near as low as 200 billion.

Either way while the industry refuses to fully pay for its own risks or acknowledge that it does so its claims of safety via public relations channels are sounding more than a little disingenuous.

Every stupid copy is wrong, but some are useful.

I agree that PHEVs are an important part of the transition away from gasoline, especially in the short term. But it seems if Toyota really believed this, their PHEV Rav4 would be produced in a lot higher numbers. I'm pretty sure they could sell far more of those than they do. Availability is limited to two US states and even within those is quite limited.
And we're still waiting on a hybrid 4Runner or Tacoma.
