Your best options IMO are either 1) a Mac Mini with 16GB of RAM running a Linux VM or Asahi Linux connected OR 2) an Nvidia Jetson Xavier AGX; you can get the 32GB version for like $700 USD I think. (The newer Orin is a fair bit more expensive.)

You realistically want something with ARMv8.2 or better, these are relatively easy to acquire with the current supply chains, they're beefy, can be equipped with fast storage, and they are both small units you can put on your desk. Note that the Xavier will require you to fiddle with the usual Nvidia bullshit through their SDK but it's otherwise a standard Ubuntu machine. It should be possible to get another distro on there too. The M1 will almost certainly perform better overall watt-for-watt though.

An EBT card often has one's name on it. Or a credit card. Or maybe a frequent customer card from the store itself.

There are many options to provide sufficient identification. The goal would be to have something that disconnects the person who is getting the food from the 3rd party delivery and allows the restaurant to charge the 3rd party delivery an additional premium.
The article also says “Riot is participating in ERCOT’s Four Coincident Peak program” and that means they pay more during peak hours (defined by last year’s peaks).
Pretty sure I speak up, check my comment history. Not to mention, police actively killing innocent people is way different than disagreeing on the internet. Are you seriously conflating those?

That's fair, but still a big difference psychologically between 18m and never. Plus various other fluids. Even brake pads and rotors—on pure EVs they basically last forever thanks to regenerative braking. Perhaps modern hybrids do have that benefit as well now though.
In the US the same requisites are used for both directions of the transfer. If you give your account number and routing number to receive a deposit, the same numbers can be used to withdraw from your account. Coincidently, these numbers are on any check you cut. Banks provide protection (requiring authorization for every withdrawal or disabling withdrawals all together) to business accounts but the consumer accounts do not have this even as a paid service, at least in the major retail banks.

The government is supposed to come after any fraud here with heavy criminal charges, it's essentially a check forgery but I don't think it's too busy or too successful doing this.
Well only if the danger exists, obviously.
I agree in part that this type of economy was "enforced".

Still, it's absolutely critical to own our own role in it, as citizens and consumers. With the cheap unsustainable option being there, we all exploited it to the maximum. Also people that in no way needed to economically "optimize" like that.

You have a point in that it is predictable human behavior. In the same way that stocking a grocery store for 75% with cheap tasty junk food on average will lead to an unhealthy population. We just don't have that much agency as we like to think to go for the right choice, the 25%. We act on impulse and instincts not made for this modern world.

If that is true, then the more important point is that if we were to undo this mess (which I doubt), we must also accept the pain of the better way. To lose a portion of our fake unsustainable wealth.

The problem is of course that people cling to it, even to incredibly recent products/services at a particular price. As if it forever was a right they were born with. Further, any politician to propose such policy is going to be wildly unpopular.

We see a bad company but don't want to pay for the good company. We see bad politicians but vote away the good one. It's the main flaw of democracy: it has no solution for unpopular yet required measures.
I disagree, but since I've made myself clear elsewhere, "El Salvador".
I would rephrase that as: There's nothing dangerous about them until an accident happens. And that's why it's not worth it to me. I saw my dad's eye surgery from a glass-lenses incident years ago - he was lucky, it still was an awful experience. Should he have been wearing a pair of goggles while working in the yard? Sure. But I've forgotten that too!

I've really gotten into self driving the past couple years. Watched every video I can find on it. Got a Toyota Rav 4 bought a Comma 2 then later a Comma 3. Really enjoy Comma AI as a product on the highway and some in town. That being said, self driving in city streets is a problem that literally doesn't exist. On highway you can relax, mostly because the car is keeping a straight line and not much is happening. As soon as a car is negotiating stop signs, doing turns, etc it stops being fun and relaxing and starts becoming anxiety inducing.

The only thing that needs to be solved fully is highway with auto lane change. That's literally it. And the system needs to do eye tracking like Comma Ai. If your adaptive cruise control makes you put your hand on the wheel it's useless.

There are multiple red flags here:

1. Asking you for a fee if you are hired. Staffing fees should be paid by the employer on top of agreed to compensation to the employee. In fact, if you a direct hire, you shouldn't even know what the recruiter is getting, but they should tell you they are getting paid.

2. Asking you to pay for or buy equipment that will belong to the company. Telling you we'll give you money to buy a Mac and other gear. Any legit company will simply ship the equipment to you, usually pre-configured.

3. A non-company domain for emails.

4. Unrealistic compensation. Who wouldn't want to edit video for $187K/year ($90/hr)? This is very high.

Sorry for your investment woes.

I think part of the problem is established dogma (and regulatory regime) that believes bonds offer diversification from stocks. However this seems to have broken down post 2008, as they have become increasingly correlated.

Imho it's healthy to expect that market regimes change, especially since we do not operate in free market, but a semi-intervined market (where the Fed sets the price of money which is an incredibly important input to the global economy).

I also think it's important to not think of diversification in terms of asset classes anymore, but in terms of alpha source.

I know this is much harder to do because, as far as I know, only by actively trading can you isolate and quantify alpha sources like this.
Netflix partners with Microsoft on ad-supported subscription plan
Most eye 'glasses' are eye plastics. Plastic lenses are softer than cellulose = kleenex scratches them. There is no easy way to avoid scratching plastic apart from detergent rinsing and soft lens cloth pat drying. I buy true glass lenses, hardened so they break into splinters (I have never broken one) To clean, I wash with warm water and dish soap = they last for years and I need new ones due to eye aging before they ever get scratchy. A few others made this point as well.

I implied nothing about myself. I myself did not go to university.

> Heated seats is a luxury, sure. But what about music? Kitchen appliances? Movies and TV? Productivity software? Transportation?

Subscription is just one way to pay for things, sometimes it makes sense sometimes it doesn't. Public transport have been using subscription for decades and people somehow don't think that's a bad thing.

For cars people usually use loans, and that ends up being just another form of monthly payment.

They have advantages and disadvantages depending on many factors. To have moral outrage because something in particular uses subscription makes no sense.

The waste majority of the things you named the waste majority of the time don't need subscription. And the reality is that while you don't need a subscription for music for example, people do actually prefer it in some cases and that is fine.

Some EV builder will eventually provide sound/haptic emulation so that you can have the tactile experience of anything from a Keicar to a Bentley V12 by modifying some simple settings. One of the most promising things about EVs is that they really can be software defined. Also one of the most scary. Hope they use Rust.

it seems "borg like". we really are at a major cross roads if we persist as a species, we will very soon be able to sidestep biological rules, for example why transplant into a human body, why not a gorilla, or a tiger, etc.

if we had a farm of receptacles, we could transplant a living brain from an infirm, or boring ugly body to something cool, or powerful.

when you become close to immortal doing this there is only room for so many, so it would have to be kept to a smaller group than say 8 billion humans.
Won't a next factory cost less, due to the accumulated know-how, optimizations, improvements, etc?

I think its more that mobile app economics are dead due to the google/apple app store duopoly. Their fat cuts of all sales make a lot of businesses quite hard to pull off. Plus, you need to be in constant fear of getting randomly banned for one reason or another (or no reason at all really).

It just isn't an attractive place for developers. Companies (especially large ones that dominate the top50 charts) see their mobile apps as costs so they don't really care about making money there.

Yeah, it's kind of odd that so much effort is being put into city driving.

Just perfect highway driving first. Trucking alone would massively change if goods could be transported to edge of urban areas autonomously.

He mentions open source and education which I’m really excited about. There’s been a big lack of accessible from-first-principles resources on this (plenty of abstracted libraries though). Now is a great time to build up excitement among amateurs to learn about this stuff imo. (Right near the super cool text-to-image breakthroughs.) It shouldn’t just be openai and google building these things.
Carter and Reagan and basically every president afterwards decided that it was better for the economy if the USA didn't have steel plants. They were probably right too unfortunately.
I've played with Midjourney for awhile and just got my invite to DALL-E last night. One thing I think is really cool about Midjourney is the ability to give it image URLs as part of the prompts. I can't say I've had tremendous success with it, and it still feels a little half-baked, but I wish DALL-E had something along those lines. (Unless it does and I'm missing it). It's much easier to show examples of a particular style than to try to describe it, especially if it isn't something specifically named in the AI's training set.

For the first 5 months of 2022 there were 500,000 BEVs sold in Europe with Tesla 3 and Y accounting for a little over 60,000. [1]

> That is, if their government and society even survive the decade's transition as their quality of life stagnates and people begin to question the CCP.

That's about as likely as our government and society surviving the decade's transition, as our quality of life stagnates and people begin to question both Washington, their local state capital, and the mayor's office.

Which is to say, it's rather likely.
That's not what that link says. It says that hybrids deliver a larger CO2 reduction per unit of battery, and because batteries are scarce, we would do better CO2 reduction by focusing limited battery capacity in hybrid vehicles, as this would lead to the greatest number of miles traveled on electric charge, along with some savings from the weight of batteries.

It definitely does not say that BEVs have higher emissions over the course of a car's life. It pretty clearly shows that BEVs have the largest decrease in CO2 emissions, as you would expect.
I am very excited about a future where there will be almost no petrol engines getting revved at stupid volume levels only because it's "fun".

> PowerCo will use the prismatic unified cell architecture in its batteries which allows for use of different cell chemistries. The cells will be manufactured from 2025 with the factory planned capacity to be 40 GWh which is enough to supply 500,000 electric vehicles. By 2030 PowerCo plans to have all six European factories up and running with a combined capacity of 240 GWh. The unified prismatic cell harnesses synergy effects and can offer manufacturing savings of up to 50% when compared to current batteries.

Why can't journalists use units correctly? I'm assuming the above is per year (but who knows?).

Side remark: it's actually kind of cool that you can literally specify the battery output of these factories in Watts.

The fed can't realistically let house prices fall too far. If they do, a lot of loans would only be partially secured. That would have far-reaching implications, and could potentially leave a lot of people homeless and the banks holding a bag of bad loans.

It would also wipe out a lot of people's savings.

I think interest rates will stabilize in the near future. I don't think they can continue to go up without demolishing the economy.

Those attacks don't scale. They're also tied to a person or people who need to be physically present, making it possible to arrest them.

The consequences of potential attacks on centrally-orchestrated traffic are a lot more severe. Hack the control node, and you can stop traffic nation-wide. Or cause mass accidents that overwhelm first responders. And they can be executed by anyone, anywhere in the world, for a cost within range of many medium-size corporations (let alone nation states).

I won't comment on the challenges of the approach Tesla et al. are currently taking, but I don't think central control is the panacea commenters in this thread are making it out to be (and I'm personally glad this isn't the route we're pursuing).
This is a dance move known as the "tenderloin lurch". Well, not really, the Tenderloin Lurch is when a person staggers up to a crosswalk, waits until they have a NO WALK sign and proceeds to cross, while ignoring all the drivers who about to run them over.
The first company I worked for, and also the first company I saw A/B tests at, once ran an A/A test because someone was a bit skeptical about some of the test results that had been claimed.

Predictably, whatever metric we were watching on it (probably conversion) swung wildly to either side over the first few days. The look on some of the product managers' faces was pretty great. After about 2 weeks, it settled into a steady state where each "version" performed equally (measured cumulatively, so just large numbers in action).

The conclusion from this exercise was...

"It takes 2 weeks."

Ok? As a Model 3 owner for 3+ years the car shows well and has been rock solid this whole time.

> Parts break difficult to replace

I think I had a set of squeaky control arms that Tesla replaced under warranty in less than a week, free of charge. I don’t remember because it was such a nonissue.

Side swiped by another driver; dented my fender, bumper, smashed the headlight. Their insurance took fault, Tesla certified body shop gave estimate and fixed in less than a week (from the time dropped off).

> The battery degrades

Knew this going in. What battery doesn’t? Still comfortably road-tripping and camping with the family in my car.

> They stopped providing maps

Huh? I receive updates every time my car updates which is often. I’m guessing you’re talking the an older Model S.

> Recall/warranty and unable to schedule appointment

I’ve scheduled 5+ appointments with Tesla service center or mobile service through the app. Never been an issue.

On top of all that, my car is worth more now than it was when I bought it. Everyone in my family that drives the car loves it. The car turns heads and generates questions on the daily for 3+ years now. My young daughter’s friends still lose their mind when she gets picked up in the Model 3. It’s almost like owning a supercar without the price tag or the inconvenience.

So I guess different people have different experiences. But this is the first car I’ve ever wanted to drive until it dies.

Oh, and FSD certainly IS NOT worth it. And I doubt it will be anytime soon. :)
I'm sure you're right, but my comment was not a pro/anti China comment or an assessment of the much larger scope you seem to make of it.

It's a mere example of a society making a hard choice in where it defocuses and focuses in the backdrop of supply limitations.

Plus, don't you think it's interesting how the incredibly lucrative SV tech sector, the one we consider to rule the world...is considered not just worthless by China, but a plain negative?

You should really look into the story of the slashing of their soft tech sector. It is the purposeful destruction of an entire sector and its billionaire class in record time.

Bjørn Nyland's review of the 2022 Model 3 Performance [1] confirms your view that the Model 3 is absolutely not dated.
