You mean being the undisputed king of the hill in terms of online battery production manufacturing capacity in a market that right now seems to have an unlimited demand for batteries? They are building new factories as fast as they can with a head-start on everybody else and they seem to be getting really good at it.

VW is planning to be where Tesla is this year in about five years in terms of GWH per year. Tesla is moving really aggressively in terms of new production capacity, partnerships with Panasonic and others, and strategic investments in supply chains as well as expansion into other applications for batteries (e.g. supporting the grid). I'd say, it will be a while before anybody catches up in terms of volume and economics. It's going to require more than what VW is investing right now. And I think they will invest quite aggressively. This isn't their last move; just the latest one.
> They came up with quorum queues which have less features and require to keep all messages in memory.

I don't think this is true

> Quorum queues store their message content on disk (per Raft requirements) and only keep a small metadata record of each message in memory. This is a change from prior versions of quorum queues where there was an option to keep the message bodies in memory as well. This never proved to be beneficial especially when the queue length was large.

If it is not against the rules, I want to promote my project (https://github.com/netheril96/securefs) here. It is essentially the same functionality, but with authenticated encryption, better password hashing and optionally file size obfuscation (but no fancy UI).
I have 7 chickens on .24 urban acres. I'd definitely have to convert most of the 'land' to chicken feed if in an apocalyptic scenario but having 2-5 eggs a day is a wonderful blessing.

Without hatred and elitism in our "peaceful" societies. We've already lost thousands of years and billions of people.
People rate their idle time dollar value far lower than their work time dollar value.

Someone who is paid 100$/hr at his work will not pay Doordash 100$ to save 1 hour of his time. The bid-ask spread is quite high.

100$ is not how much a person values his hour. It is simply the market rate for his skill. He probably values his hour at about 10$.

On the Width of Webpages
> On or about June 9, 2022, Musk’s counsel indicated that granting access to 30 days’ worth of historical firehose data would satisfy Musk’s request for the firehose data. So, on June 15, the company gave Musk’s team secure access to that raw data — about 49 tebibytes’ worth.

From page 39. Holy heck. 49 TB of data? How do you even ingest that much data in a reasonable amount of time into a database.
I recommend gocryptfs - very good performance, easy to automate, one binary, cross plattform, no fiddling with fuse libraries. It works like expected.

Cryptomator is a strange example of how GUI-centric developers seem to be unaware of how important it is to make software usable on the command line.

Also it is a good example of how using Java produces unexpected limitations and complications.

I lost two days fiddling around with several simple use cases without good results - what an experience switching to gocryptfs and getting everything I need up in a few minutes because it just falls out naturally.

It is an interesting lesson about software usability to compare cryptomator vs gocryptfs.
A lot of what you pay now is for maintenance of the lines and transformers.
In isolation on one purchase, yes. But much like the introduction of credit cards, it's made consuption frictionless and so more purchases are being made than might otherwise would have been. Also, packaging from shipping, facilitating for returns (depending on retailer)

Or someone who understands that it's not magic, and there's still humans choosing the dataset, labelling the data and picking the loss function. This is exactly the kind of gaslighting GP was talking about.

Just because there are more edge cases where the human has no idea what their algorithm does, doesn't absolve them of responsibility. You don't get to go free after running a bunch of pedestrians over by claiming you were too drunk to know where the road was or which direction your car would turn when you moved the wheel. If I put a running metal lathe in a kindergarten, I don't get to throw my hands up and say 'you clearly don't understand machining' when some children get dismembered.
What you describe could actually be an artifact of "flaw of averages" (an article was posted here just few days ago, TLDR: air force discovered that nobody fit the body dimensions of an average pilot and therefore created adjustable seats for jets). If promotion banners are just segmented to general millions of people then that's exactly what will happen. But not sure if better segmenting is even possible with data available.

I'm not sure I follow - wouldn't many statically linked programs have much of some version of libc within them? So you could take any program, change it to be statically linked and use that for training?

That said I assume I'm missing something here.
Storage from day to night, not from summer to winter. The only solution for seasonal storage is hydrogen, and we are far, far from having any meaningful production of green hydrogen.
Does that really help? I’ve tried teams web app in chrome and the performance is equally depressing as the Linux desktop app. Memory usage is ok but I really don’t enjoy waiting 2 seconds for every click.

A more extreme tip is to not use it on your desktop at all. Just use the iOS app, it hurts me to praise Teams but that app is not just decent, it’s actually very good. Fast, stable, good ux, all the features you need. Just missing a way to connect a proper keyboard and share my main desktop screen.
> don't eat before bed

Why not?

Musk tweeted this advice recently, along with his mistake that 3 inches is "about 5cm" for raising the bed head.

"Don't go to bed hungry" could also be valid advice.
Research seems to support it: "Compared to baseline, a significant decrease in arousals, a decrease in periodic leg movements (PLM) and a non-significant increase in REM sleep were observed at the end of fasting." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12748412/

Though, personal anecdata: I sleep less during week-long water fasting (<7h instead of usual ~8h). I feel excellent but the total duration is less. Resistance training (barbell) increases the duration for me.
Wow, this explains a lot. I wonder if they're as inept when it comes to their search tech. The search result quality these days certainly speaks volumes.

Can you give me an example of someone making it viable? Not trying to be snarky. Genuinely interested.
Well written story... also:

> I have personally experienced network partions happening in two ways: all nodes in the cluster being updated at the same time through Windows update and firewall rules.

I'd rather try to build a four story brick building with horse dung for masonry mortar, than run my backend on windows boxes. How many cumulative hours of horror has Windows Update unleashed on the human race?
That makes a ton of sense and explains why opticians are paid so low (relative to other medical fields).
Similarly, Ruby had RDL - which implemented pre/post contracts and type checking prior to Sorbet. It was actually pretty nice, if slow.

> Who is affording these on a regular basis?

This question has driven me to distraction for the last 15 years or so. I’ve talked to many restaurant owners and they aren’t happy because they usually give up a massive percentage (say, 25 or 30%) and yet still the delivery services add a substantial amount. I can see how this would work OK in dense urban environments but I’m in the suburbs.
If they stay on track to start ramping up production capacity from about 2-3 years from now, like they have been consistently saying they will, there will be plenty of demand for high energy density, fast charging batteries from VW and other manufacturers. Solid state batteries are going to be popular for expensive high performance vehicles.

People think in either or terms when it comes to battery tech. The reality is that it's a market that is going to keep on doubling in volume every few years for the next few decades. There will be cheap and low density batteries and there will be more expensive high density batteries. The latter won't replace the former and there will be demand for both.

VW will want to be cover the entire market in a decade or so ranging from cheap affordable light cars to expensive, long range luxury vehicles. They'll sell way more of the former than of the latter but make a lot of revenue with a relatively small amount of vehicles. Quantumscape is a great candidate for supplying batteries for those.
I see, sounds reasonable. I definitely learned a lot about how my body responds to different foods and other reasons glucose can rise (besides food, glucose also rises in response to metabolic activity).

Which CGM are you using? I have a Dexcom, which has configurable alarm thresholds. I have type 1 diabetes. Generally I try to avoid being over 140 for very long, and over 200 is considered dangerous. My Tandem insulin pump used a non-configurable setting of 110 as the level it tries to maintain by increasing or decreasing insulin dosages.
Feedback for the author (who seems to have also made the submission): The content is good, but there are too many basic typos and grammatical mistakes in the article, making it really hard to follow at times. Not sure if it was written in another language in the first place. Please run your article through some spellchecker and grammar checker the next time, not to mention finding somebody to proofread it.
This is a strange thread for me. I have a 2021 16" Macbook pro. I use Teams every day, and have some long meetings. The memory use is about 1Gb. I have no issues with it. It is snappy and performant.
Sodium Oxybate would solve your problem far better than alcohol or benzos. Talk to a sleep specialist.
People who want to check for special deals, or who don't know the menu, or who don't want to tie up phone staff on a busy night, or who will take 20 minutes with a group of people trying to decide what to order, etc.
You might want to consider the fact that the places where these people are the worst off--where they are most likely to be the victims of not just "marginalization" but outright violent crime--are places in which leftists control the government and have for a long time. This can be seen at the level of countries--would you rather be "marginalized" in the US, or killed or sent to a concentration camp for a lifetime of hard labor in Russia or China?--and at the level of different cities/jurisdictions within a country--the worst cities for minorities in the US in terms of actual objective facts like rates of violent crime are the strongholds of the left: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles.

Why is this? I would say it's because cynical, corrupt politicians on the left are misusing your very human and worthwhile desire to help people who are less fortunate than you, in much the same way that cynical, corrupt politicians on the right are misusing other people's very human and natural desire to not have their lives micromanaged to the nth degree.

Large birds don't fly by flapping their wings when they have enough lift. Look at one in a thermal updraft sometime, it's quite a majestic sight.

If birds had engines on their wings, they would probably fly more like airplanes.

But cameras are a poor substitute for human vision, because they can't move or pivot or refocus much.
Damn, I still wouldn't be allowed a neat writing device under that regime.
> Most sleep specialists are "sleep apnea specialists" in my experience

I've been working with a sleep specialist recently and the thought did occur to me that she's more like a CPAP machine seller than anything.

Then again.. this thing has been improving my sleep I suppose. When the mask doesn't leak air or have any other issues.
Not even going to make a throwaway. was intrigued by the article, dled it, set up a profile. Was excited to experience this sexual liberation where I could perhaps be an atypical cis guy...

It's just tinder for couples and kinks. The rest is extremely oversold. Glad the author got so much value from it, but what a disappointment!
I get your point, but how many people are currently getting less than 5 hours a day of sleep, and more importantly, don't think it's an issue that is impacting their health ?

I'd imagine newborn parents would fall into that category for instance, and I never met anyone who just thought not sleeping isn't a big deal and it will all be fine.
Odd, I just tested this and it worked correctly.
Don’t give Tesla any new ideas. Let’s wait for them deliver their Cyvertruck and matching quad before they start down this rabbit hole.
DALLE2 isn't as flexible as the more open colab notebooks here; you can do "variations" of an image but you can't edit an image except through inpainting, so it's hard to generate "AI art" style images of the kind Midjourney and Diffusion are good at.

It also won't allow uploading images with faces in them.
Tesla has been over promising for sure. But it’s not a fraud. Had it been it would have met the same fate as Nikola. I am for heavy fines on Tesla for their lofty claims, but I don’t know why people want to see Tesla destroyed. They do have a profitable electric car business with no fraud.
It's true that maybe it matters where you are. I imagine SF and Seattle might be different.

I was recently in <another major US tech center city> for a bit and didn't have trouble getting dates on Tinder, and picked up a 26yo girl from Seattle in a bar.

I don't think I'm good looking, but I am interesting. I talk well with people both online and in person.

> Also - I take “average looking white guy” with a grain of salt.

Well thanks and I wish that was true. But balding, middle aged, slightly overweight computer programmer here.

I don't have acne I guess and I try to dress well, and like I said above I'm interesting.

I also taught myself how to actively listen. Someone once told me they'd met Bill Clinton, and he had the ability to make people feel like they were the most important person in the whole world when he spoke to them, and they said I'm like that.

I'm not discounting your experience and the stats that say what they do. But I know how bad I was with women when I was in my 20s and when I meet many guys who complain about this I see the same behaviors I had.
I have type 1 diabetes (actually LADA) so I keep a very careful eye on my glucose.

Definitely the foods that make it rise the fastest are starchy vegetables like potatoes and grains. Fat plays a major role in absorption - a potato by itself causes a quick spike, while if I add cheese, it takes about twice as long to fully digest. Protein and fiber slow things down, too. Generally sugar causes a spike that goes down quickly compared to other carb sources.

Many people with t1 find that aerobic exercise like a brisk walk lowers glucose in the short term, and it even has an effect for a day or two. Often people report that intense anaerobic exercise like weightlifting raises glucose levels.

Insulin definitely plays a role in fat storage (that’s one of the major things it does as a hormone).

That's interesting. It looks really tiny on their site, so I guess the analog signal must be generated in the computer? So it seem more like a "PC manufacturers typically put more effort into their USB implementation than their 3.5mm implementation" sort of thing, I guess?
Needleplay is definitely a lot more niche and you're probably
not gonna have girls falling over themselves to like you used to on Fet and AMM to do that specifically. I've found girls on Tinder are usually pretty inexperienced with kink stuff, and are more interested in light bondage and general dom/sub stuff, at least to start.

But also ran into some that, having zero real life kink experiences, immediately expressed interests in more....advanced I guess(?)stuff like CNC and TPE, so who knows though. The last few generations have had access to the entire spectrum of kinks, and photo/video examples of them in action, via the internet and they are just waiting for an opportunity to live it out themselves.

Edit -- for anyone reading this that may run into someone like me on Tinder, just be careful. I'm always sure to have long talks about limits and boundaries and expectations before any clothes come off, but there's tons of creeps out there that will take advantage of your youth/inexperience to try and push your boundaries, or make you do things your not comfortable with. No means no, anyone not respecting your limits isn't someone you need to fuck with The second anything like that happens or they try to guilt you for saying no to something, you need to shut things down and leave right then. Don't let them use kink stuff as a cover to abuse or exploit you. Be smart, be safe.
counterpoint: long drives have been improved significantly by Navigate on Autopilot, and the FSD Beta is nice.

example: I live in Houston and needed to go to Dallas for a work trip.

If my wife weren't using our Tesla that week (she drove it to Tennessee), I would have driven there (200-ish miles). I've done 1000+ mile trips with the Model 3 with zero issues, all because of "FSD."

Despite having another car that I really love, driving long distances manually is rough on me. So instead, I took an Uber Black both ways, flew, and rented a car in Dallas. (I expensed the UberX rate, so I paid the rest out of pocket. We are an hour from the airport.)

Convenient, but I still missed the Tesla.
My parents did the same.

Of course when they bought it was a podunk town and they bought on the edge of city limits.

Now it’s a city of 2M and their property is regarded as central.

Of course I couldn’t afford it.

But I could certainly buy on the edge of some podunk town today.
Replicate is a newer version being trained on the same data set so it should theoretically catch up soon, no guarantees of course.
Fiber and protein do slow down carb absorption, but for me fat content makes the biggest difference.
When the last chapter of industrial civilization is written some time in the 2100s the number of people the Greens killed in the name of protecting the environment will make every war, genocide and mass murdering dictator look like amateur hour.

I fully believe Elon and Jim Keller truly thought the deep learning HW delivered by Tesla was capable of self-driving in the early 201x time frame because, frankly, a lot of us did. More than likely, like the rest of us, they slowly came to see that the problem was much more difficult, and deep learning much less capable, than we had originally envisioned. Most of us didn't make a bunch of stupid promises to shareholders based on the original, incorrect assumptions though. Unlike Elon, we're able to admit we were wrong.
Yeah but make sure to read the Voodoo Fusion article along the way.

As opposed to oil, battery prices are highly influenced by China’s grip on the battery value chain at least until 2030.

Just as China will influence steel and aluminum prices through central planning, battery prices are unlikely to remain higher than current peak as long as the government continues its current stance on stable prices.
Yeah the pay back time is long but the cost of operation is so much lower than traditional fuels. It will pay off if it remains running for long enough.

Google's internal models (Imagen and Parti) are much better. It looks like DALLE2 is just not big enough to accurately draw faces, which are very detailed things.

Messaging platforms have been an ever present in my career. Tibco, IBM MQ, back to Tibco, RabbitMQ then Kafka.

I like how on the surface they can be quite simple to use, but the optimisation and management of them can be fiendishly subtle.

Some of my most interesting projects have been trying to squeeze more messages through a pipe with lower latency, changing the way messages are sent and flow through these platforms, or digging into why one in a billion messages are dropped. There was also an interesting phase of trying to containerise and infra-as-code Kafka.

It’s all like plumbing for data infrastructure. An interesting corner of the IT industry.
