The autopilot part of Tesla has never made much sense. Is Tesla the electric car company, or is it the luxury car company? Either way, why does the power train (EV or ICE) come into play at all?

Not only that, but Tesla has played the Innovator's Dilemma game from the position of the upstart financially, but targeted the segment of the market that incumbents will defend to the death (luxury cars).

Tesla could have gone a different way and played the game from the true upstart: targeting the low end of the car market. Attack from below. But it didn't do that.

Incumbents always win at the sustaining innovation game. The electric power train is a sustaining innovation for the automobile industry. It doesn't break any incumbent's business model (financing the purchase of expensive cars), especially at this point. And we're now seeing this with all of the EV introductions and announcements from incumbents. Oddly, though, there are plenty of upstarts trying to do exactly what Tesla tried - attacking the blubber-rich end of the market with an immature technology.

Capitalism, n. A machine for CEOs to transform money from VCs into money for luxury yacht builders.

Maybe we should just cut out the middle man and stop creating businesses. Have a CEO pitch an idea, the VC can hand them a check, they can buy a yacht, and the VC can keep the rest of the money that would have been wasted on jobs that created no value, avoiding the "externalities" of destroying small pizza shops. Or better yet, give that non-yacht money straight to the government to pay for health care, housing, job training, infrastructure, the homeless, veterans, education, social security, regulatory enforcement, thus creating an environment where American citizens can create more real businesses, more people are eligible for good jobs, and the overall quality of life skyrockets.

It's an enterprise operating system. Nearly any feature you can think of that you would want in a large business is already built into the operating system. Clustering, applications built out of objects written in different languages, transparent network file support, automatic file versioning, backups, huge data sets, pervasive runtime performance and process introspection features, layered security, disaster recovery file set shadowing across the WAN, built in bdb2 like database, it's all there.

Unlike a typical Linux deployment, these operating system components were designed and tested as a whole, so the system tends to have little if any issues when dealing with unusual circumstances.

Enterprise deployments for things like factories, nuclear reactors, water plants, live cable TV stations, and 911 call centers require a level of stability that you can't get with things like RHEL or Windows.

I don't mean reliability, I mean stability. The Linux kernel is reliable, OpenVMS is reliable, but a typical Linux distribution is made up of a hundred components constantly churning on different release schedules, whereas it's normal to take a 20 year old Alpha binary written in 3 different languages and expect it to run on Itanium or x64 using an OS that's 2 major versions ahead.

Just like z/OS or NonStop, it's entirely reasonable to have deployments which never patch the underlying operating system, and even ones that do patch regularly do so on a far less frequent basis, with a well-defined procedure to canary the changes to avoid taking down production.

What exactly does Bitcoin provide in this case?

> this is what I meant by building "trustful" systems being built on top of trustless foundations

So, a service that exists outside bitcoin, has a trust system built entirely outside bitcoin and only doing something with bitcoin because reasons... is "building trustful systems on top of trustless systems".

I don't think you know what "building on top" means.

> This is a fundamental misunderstanding of tithing and I’m not going to get into that at the moment,

To the extent that tithing (or a non Christian equivalent) supports a religious institution's facilities and payroll and programs to be help less well off members of the religious group, it's a bit socialistic, with the huge caveat that - by definition - it is not universal, since to receive such benefits you must usually be an adherent or serious prospect of conversion to the religion.

I'm sure most people realize that their tithing money isn't getting them anything in a presumed afterlife, and that the purpose is to support the institution's basic functions and it's outreach and expansion efforts.
but the usual memset_s implementation does not flush the caches, only my safeclib implementation does so, crypto libs do not care.
You may think so, and I may even agree. But those opinions do not control what compilers actually implement.

For example, in

void f() {
volatile char sekrit[256];
sekrit[0] = 0;
}

a compiler may reason that, since sekrit is on the stack, and no hardware device could know where it is, it may elide the whole block. And, some do.
The situation outside the US is even worse for Tesla. There's a whole swathe of great EVs these days from VW (ID.3, ID.4), Renault (Megane, E-2008), Opel (Corsa-e), Volvo (C40, XC40), Ford (Mustang Mach-E), Jaguar (I-PACE), Polestar, BMW (i4, iX), Audi (e-Tron), Mercedes (EQS), Skoda (Enyaq), etc.

The range of models is also much wider in terms of affordability. In Europe, we've reached the point where an EV is just another car, and even the cheaper ones have tons of clever bells and whistles like 360 cameras.

Honestly though my only experience with RabbitMQ has been as a backend for Celery (background task processor for Python) and I think my real issues are mostly to do with how Celery uses RabbitMQ in a very poor default setup.

Message confirmations are off by default and turning them on caused our queues to grind to a halt. Queues being single threaded and clusters don't much help with that without using some kind of sharding plugin. It seemed like getting to a good spot required a lot of arcane knowledge that wasn't so easy to find.

"Configuring RabbitMQ to be a performant message queue for background task systems" would be an excellent blog post I would share widely!

>Like why do they even need DSP chips, might as well just run a VST softsynth with a MIDI keyboard

When your analog synth has presets, it's because there's a DSP chip in there that's helping to record, store, and replay voltage values for the knobs and sliders and switches in the analog signal path. If your analog synthesizer has a sequencer, there's a pretty solid chance that's done on a chip. If your analog synthesizer has a modern modulation matrix, you need a DSP chip for that. If your analog synthesizer has a method for self-calibration, you need a DSP for that.

The signal path stays analog in any of these situations, but the DSP helps you manufacture things that aren't feasible with simple components.

There's a lot of cool stuff you can do with VSTs. There's a lot of weird-ass gain staging/overdrive stuff I can do with boxes on my desk that plug into each other, or even within a singular synthesizer, which cannot currently be replicated effectively with code. One day it'll catch up. Roland's ACB is a few years old now, but it's pretty good at mimicking 40 year old technology. It took a long time for a Windows machine to run an SNES emulator at a decent enough rate to play what was already at the time very old technology.

I've got a mixing console from 1978 that I prefer to VSTs. The Poly Evolver Keyboard I have is as old as YouTube... nothing else sounds like it, there is no emulation of it, and I'm glad I don't need a 2005-era computer kicking around to keep it running.

This is not to discount that there are amazing VSTs, and that physical controller options are amazing today (and amazingly inexpensive), but these are different options, not better options.

sure, if you want your podcast's business model to be "you must pay to access this content." it has been argued that this is not the best business model for a podcast, as you're either locking out your entire audience until they decide to start paying, or if you go for the "regular podcast is free but Paid Members get access to additional content" model, then you're producing content that only a fraction of your audience gets to experience. if you're doing a weekly show with an additional bonus paid weekly show, this can lead to situations where something is discussed at length on the the bonus paid show, and then referenced on the free show, leaving unpaid members in the dark as to wtf you're talking about.

this is the traditional model of subscription-based content, but Podcasting 2.0 is based upon the "value-for-value" idea, where listeners are encouraged to willingly give money to support the show, possibly in exchange for a shout-out (akin to YouTube "Superchats") or something like that. the model sounds unintuitive, but it has sustained No Agenda since the late '00s, and other shows as well.

another podcast I tune into every week and love does the Patreon thing. they do a free, public weekly show, and an additional bonus show only for paid Patreon subscribers. I pay them through Patreon (who takes a cut) for the privilege of accessing a link to an unlisted YouTube video each week to watch the bonus show (which they explicitly refer to as a "bonus Patreon podcast" in the show itself! why intertwine your brand with Patreon like this?!). each week the bonus show gets less than 100 views, yet the cohosts go out of their way to record an additional 30-40 minute show just for these under-100 viewers. this does not seem like a sound business strategy to me compared to value-for-value.
Totally this. If you’ve got somebody who is critical to the success of the business you do anything you can to keep them

Sort of. Your wording actually assumes down to its core that driving is inherently social, when in fact I think it may be only provisionally social. Driving currently “is social” in a few senses, But of course the important (and obvious) one is that it currently involves accounting for human-operated vehicles.

Alternatively, an autonomous vehicle operator in a homogenous network full of other autonomous operators has capabilities and characteristics that greatly simplify failure modes. Maybe even majority autonomous, partially heterogeneous? You can literally slow or stop the whole show to deal with a catastrophic event. It’s still “social” but probably much reduced from the scenario where you’ve got the full scope of human expressivity behind the wheel.

The REAL problem is how do we take our roads to the crossover point where those simplified network features become accessible.

Swiss Company to Build an Intercity Network of Tunnels for Robotic Cargo Pods
Blazor is using C# to build web pages, which isn't new, but using C# on the client with a webassembly version of .NET. It works well enough, but is limited to simple things like onClick="SomeCSharpFunction" and can not do things like getting elements by id or class. That's were Dart shines. Most will use either JavaScript or TypeScript, but I like Dart so I want to see how it is to combine Blazor Webassembly with Dart.

It would be even more interesting if there were a Dart.NET
What is fascinating about Teams is in how many different ways it fails for different people and setups.

I mean things like the electron app being behind the chrome web view (even through it's not much more then a web view and doesn't really add anything) is not surprising.

Like I have seen one or two cases of "uh teams fucked up my Laptop I have to restart", including with the electron app.

Many cases of "oh today teams decides to not allow screen sharing for me, this morning it did work?" (which then also randomly works again sometimes just by rejoining the call).

Also many cases of audio/mic randomly being terrible until you restart (through that might be the fault of chromes auto mic level adjustment).

My favorite is that when you hard switch of a mic it decides to warn you with a huge banner that you are muted ... but doesn't set your icon on muted. Which looks a lot like "we want to listen in even if you mute so please don't mute the mice on the OS level".

Also it sometimes randomly mutes you, like when you join a call (in chrome) to fast it hadn't yet loaded the "default mic on" setting so it's off (which for someone muting their mice with a physical button is just terrible UX).

But besides all it it still works better then Slack or worse Zoom in my experience. I mean it at least does work somehow most of the time even if with bad UX and drawbacks. While Zoom in my experience sometimes just doesn't work at all (on Linux/the web app). And in Slack if the connection is sup-par it's de-facto unusable.

EDIT: The most ridiculous is that they all decide to just not work on Firefox independent of weather Firefox supports the necessary APIs. In difference jitsi works in general better and on Firefox, which I could use it more.

I like the engine but I don't think it is super competitive in 3d. For example, to use it on Quest you have to use GLES2, which is missing a number of features. Quest 2 is a mobile GPU, so you aren't going to be state of the art but I have seen more games that seem to squeeze more performance out using Unreal on that platform. Hopefully the switch to Vulkan will help them get better 3d performance on mobile gpus.

There are a ton of changes in the works from Godot 3. to 4. One of the biggest problems with Unity, in my experience is compatibility as the engine moves forward in versions. You always see projects that are stuck on older versions of Unity because the team doesn't have the time to make the changes so it works with the new version. In general I haven't seen that as a big issue for Godot. Code for old versions seems to run on new versions. But I have never seen a jump as big as the one to 4.0. The question I am wondering is will they be able to make that many changes to the engine and have it be reasonable to transition projects.

That’s not how that works, the problem of getting marginalized people ID cards isn’t solvable by someone in food service. The problem of selling food to your customers in a manner that doesn’t require government ID is.

Like it just requires a little empathy and two seconds of creativity to come up with some other ways you could, depending on what they have, check that it’s their order — they could show their phone, any credit card with their name since they paid with an app, specific details about the order, approximately when they sent it in.

Web3 provides distributed consensus that enforces the immutability of a virtual machine protocol.

This is a new feature set that was not available before. In practice it has enabled the emergence of a core set of highly reputable DeFi apps - MakerDAO, Compound, Aave and Uniswap - that have managed billions of dollars worth of digital assets and not malfunctioned in the recent market crash, while several centralized lenders and investment funds did.

>>and then when they get pressed by regulators they admit it's fake again.

This has never happened AFAIK. The opposite - of projects taking the credible position that they don't control the protocol because it is autonomous and immutable - has happened, as in the case of Uniswap Labs vis-a-vis the Uniswap protocol.

For decentralized/genuine DeFi apps, like MakerDAO, Compound, Aave and Uniswap, as opposed to centralized ones like Ripple, I don't expect this position to ever be challenged by regulatory agencies, because in reality, these protocols cannot be shut down or changed by any party.
