The fact that this is an argument for anything at all is questionable because it implies you don't use your favorite text editor for any program similar to Unity. When I was using the program I didn't even know it had a text editor because I just alt tabbed to Sublime Text. I would expect many others to do this too because in general I've always just found that the "built in text editor" of any program (whether it be a VPS's control panel or GitHub) is always bad compared to an external one.

>It is my understanding that these factors led GM's leadership team to stop producing the Volt (plug in hybrid) system and transition to all EV.

>If, however, battery prices stay high or go up for an extended period of time, this bet will look worse.

It's interesting to me that GM was really a pioneer in PHEVs with the Volt. They decided to transition their strategy at the same time as it seems like most other manufacturers debuted their first PHEVs. I have several friends that had Volts who went to other manufacturers because their use case still required a PHEV.

Was this purely to push buyers into the Bolt? This seems like an odd strategy since the Bolt, using LGs battery technology, is a transition technology itself for GM because it doesn't utilize the Ultium architecture.

How expensive would it have been to allow the Volt to solider on for a few more years with minor updates until an Ultium vehicle in a similar package with an extended range were available?

More and more people are getting vigilant in handling and securing their data; this is a rather convenient method, but what makes this challenging is the fact that it can be a delicious target for cyber attackers, and if the company suffers a data breach, malicious actors can get a hold of everyone's identity. They can use it to steal their financial credentials and collect information about the user. Although passwordless authentication would be an excellent way to lessen the effects of cyberattacks, people would be skeptical about how this would turn out.
FSD beta tester here. I think they are minimum 3 years away from anything exciting beta.. but the localization, mapping, and visualization are not the reason. I don't think LIDAR would contribute substantially to improvement.

The fundamental flaws are in the decision-making being based upon 10-30 second feature memory, ignoring features outright, and only depending on visible road features instead of persisted map data.

For instance, near my house there's an intersection where it will try to use a turn-only lane with a red arrow when it's trying to go straight thru a light. 100% of the time. Even if I'm in the correct lane with no traffic around.

That's because the turn arrow on the ground is worn off. It is not a perception problem, it is

a) ignoring the obvious red turn arrow signal's significance for lane selection deliberately
b) makes no attempt to persist or consult map data for 'which lanes go where'
c) it completely disregards painted lines on the ground in the "no drive here" striping.

Also one block from my house, FSD will stay still indefinitely waiting for trash cans (displayed as trash cans) to clear the leftmost lane so that it will turn left.

None of the failures I encounter are due to lack of perception.
On the flip side, I thought that the little red riding hood bit was really funny!

How much battery capacity are they producing per day? Impossible to tell from the article. I’m relatively sure that the period of time the specified capacity is produced in is one year.

You can divide the hours in GWh by the year time span and the time units cross out. The unit is Watt, but the physical quantity it’s describing is arguably not power but energy capacity production rate or something similar.

There’s no 1:1 mapping between units and physical quantities, just think about specific impulse in rocket engines being quantified in seconds.

If you're going to legislate monetary privacy, why not use an update-to-date form of electronic privacy and outlaw all the ways of breaking it?

A nation-state enforced "black box" is probably the only way to stop nation-states breaking open any privacy features in the marketplace. It's probably easier to conceive of a black box/black blockchain that can't be opened if you aren't trying to fight off the whole world and every conceivable adversary to keep the contents unknown.

Do you have any evidence at all or is this just a wild theory?
Humans are perfectly capable of driving on racing simulators using a flat screen though, where binocular vision makes no difference.

And Tesla cars have more than one camera on them. The front-facing camera is actually an array of 3 cameras (the two farthest ones are at about human eyes distance), but they're also equipped with forward and rearward looking side cameras, and back cameras.

I think Tesla underestimated how hard vision-only FSD is, but having a single camera (they don't) is not the reason.
In theory if Tesla just figures out how to make batteries at scale they could be quite successful even if their sales numbers plateau. But in practice it doesn't seem like auto part wholesalers have a whole hell of a lot of power to set prices. Some of the better known brands are subsidiaries, and a few seem to have started as such.
Serious question, but is it not true (statistically speaking)?

Ex source: Charles Murray's The Bell Curve, for instance.
And some people believe that wiping the blade backwards on a piece of firm cloth like denim hones the edge so that one blade can last several months.

I've tried that several times. In some cases the blade does in fact seem to last longer. In other cases, there doesn't seem to be any improvement at all.

> For example the car is driving itself on the highway, it knows it's been on the highway, for 20 minutes. I am not even in the exit lane, it knows what lane I am in. How could it think I am suddenly on the local road below the highway based solely on the GPS pin movement in the span of a second, without having moved to the exit lane and gone down the exit ramp?

Oh wow. This happens often with a car-mounted GPS (or on a phone) and it's pretty annoying. Sometimes the GPS instructs you to do a U-turn at the next available fork in the road, and it takes a moment to understand what's going on.

But in a self-driving car it's terrifying! And absurd.

> most big transit projects in Canada are over budget and over schedule.

As far as I understand the main reasons are that many unplanned difficulties arise because work has to be done in populated areas, creating (sometimes) huge surprises and side-effects (residents fighting against the project), and letting a contractor managing the project reveals that the gov isn't at ease. Building yourself (managing companies: Areva/Framatome then EDF all pertain to the government) a new reactor in a plant you own (without any resident nor tier-infrastructure) is a totally different matter: most burdens threatening Canadian's transit sector simply aren't there.

The French reactor was planned to be delivered form 3.4 billion € and after 5 years.
It will cost at least 19.9 billion € and will be at least 11 years late.

I agree with your last paragraph. Delivering then exploiting without any fuss is key (the proof is in the pudding), the industry (Framatome's videos are impressive) made patent progress and the EPR in France may start in 2023: let's wait.
Yes, but Steve Jobs delivered. He was rude and whatnot, but far from a fraud.
I'll do my best to explain, it does look a little confusing in retrospect. Let's say for the sake of argument that these cycles are 2 hour blocks: 0-2, 2-4, 4-6, and so on. If you sleep 0-2, and wake up at the end of that cycle during the wakeful period between 0-2 and 2-4, you'll feel more rested and have a faster bootup time than if you do 0-3 and wake up midway through 2-4 interrupting a period of deep sleep. You may notice more feelings of fogginess, agitation, and sleepiness, and a longer bootup time as your brain is shifting gears metaphorically speaking.

When you first fall asleep, you move through a few stages of sleep until you reach the end at the REM stage. Interrupting this stage is what causes the issue for me. I wake up still dreaming or speaking as I wake up.

I was with you in my 4 years of Tesla ownership but having researched & sampled the competition I just can't agree anymore.

Tesla has gone down a cul-de-sac with FSD to the point that there's plenty of equally competent highway "self driving", which is all 99% of people actually need/want.

Further Tesla is extremely focussed on SKU minimization .. very few models with very few options. Tesla only has 4 cars which are kind of like 3.5 given how similar 3/Y are. People want a variety of sizes/shapes/luxury levels, and to have some options within a model.

At the Model 3&Y end of price curve, they face serious competition from Ford, Hyundai, Kia and VW.

At the S&X end, they are actually in worse shape because the Germans will sell you a wide range of cars, which actually feel luxurious inside for the ~$100K price you are paying... with lots of fun colors and options packages. The interior of a $50K Model 3 and $130K Model S are more similar than dissimilar.

You can get also get worse EVs for cheaper than the lowest Tesla starting price... not every car can start at $50K.

I mean it's kind of crazy the Tesla Model Y has crept up to $68k starting price. There are a lot of crossover/hatchback EVs in the $40-60k range especially with tax credits included...
This is 100‰ false.

Uber Eats drivers aren't shown any of the tip beforehand, in fact they will never know whether or not yoy tipped until one hour after delivery has been completed.

Doordash on the other hand will hide any tips over $4 and have also gone back to stealing them.

I used to drive for both and had to stop when UE no one was tipping meaning jobs paid only $2.50-3.50 for the whole job, meaning with Cali gas prices even before the pandemic you were losing money on 90% of jobs.

Went to DD only for a while after that until I caught them lying and underpaying on mileage and keeping tips again.

So, to reiterate, UE doesn't show drivers your tip until one hour after drop off. DD hides all tips over $4 until after drop off,but will keep tips over $4 probably 80% of the time.

I had to start texting customers at drop off to let them know what the job had paid and what the tip was and to please let me know if there were any discrepancies.

It got to the point where more often than not DD was keeping part or all of the tip over $4. Ie customer tipped 10, I received 5. Wal-Mart is known to keep 100% of tips through DD, as well as Mountain Mike's Pizza and a few others.

The subreddits will show customers things from the driver's point of view.

From what I've heard, the game industry is notorious for laying a lot of the staff off after a game project before they even know if the game is successful or not. Then they might bring those people back for a sequel if they are still available when they start making it.

Yes, "1000 gal/d of storage capacity" is valid. "1000 gal/d" is not. Even if you used 1000 gal/d colloquially, you would have been talking about the capacity of the bottles.

The misconception you're having here is that "GWh of storage" is the volume of the bottle. You're interpreting it as "GWh", which in the bottle example would be like saying "They produce 1000 gallons of water / d".

"all other things being equal"
It's a midpoint between founder and engineer. You get low salary and low equity. But it's enough salary that you're not eating rice and beans and have the money for the occasional Steam sale. And presumably enough equity to retire once the company IPOs.

You still share the high risk of failure, but the actual cost of failure is much lower.
Here's an even more trivial fact: For almost all real numbers, the geometric mean of the first N digits of the decimal expansion, as N goes to infinity, approaches zero. (Really really fast!)
The unit is not GWh. It's "GWh of storage." It's ironic that this thread started with you lamenting that units are used incorrectly.

My first job straight out of engineering school in 1983 was developing Z80 embedded code. My 'development system' was some kind of semi home made floppy disk based CP/M computer with 48K of RAM and the native Dev tools including ED a command line editor and ASM an 8080 assembler (which was basically sufficient if not ideal for writing Z80 code). For the first few days I recall being confused about the difference between the ED command line and the CP/M command prompt. In other words, I was all at sea. But it was basically being thrown into the deep end and I learned fast. Within a year or so I was writing my own BIOS for an Intel bubble memory based customer CP/M computer that we were embedding into a field application. I didn't have the proper OEM documentation, but if you understood the CP/M architecture you didn't really need it.
You could feed a person off less then half an acre in regions with a decently long growing season. Even could support a few chickens.

The above is true with some qualifications. You will need decent soil and plentiful clean water. And a power source to pump the water. And fertility which you will have to bring in. The compost you make won't do it. A way to control pests, (ya ya muh organic, but we are trying to survive here). So some pesticides. Sprayers. More then one, they break. Maybe some herbicides as well so you don't burn so many calories hoeing. Some mechanical help like a rototiller will make this much more possible. Fuel oil and parts for that. Some fencing and trellising. Bird netting. A way to preserve harvests like canning, drying or freezing.

Most importantly (and most people will lack this rendering half an acre vs 5 acres moot for practical purposes) you will need a fair amount of expertise to pull it off. Generally from experience. And it will be a lot of work and mostly unforgiving of mistakes.

You aren't going to get it perfect. There's always going to be fine scratches, and probably visible ripple texture when you look at the lens from several inches away. When wearing the glasses, though, it looks just fine. It's definitely an improvement from the damaged coatings.

On a previous pair with AR coating, I tried sanding rather than etching. It was a lot more effort, and I caused some distortion on the outer edges of the lenses. It was still an overall improvement from the messed up AR coating. I was taking high dose corticosteroids at the time, and the AR coating was driving me so crazy to the point that, if sanding didn't work, they were going to be smashed with a hammer!
